MAXIMUS, Inc.

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

For the Three and Six Months Ended March 31, 2011 and 2010

In these Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements, the terms the “Company,” “MAXIMUS,” “us,” “we,” or “our” refer to MAXIMUS, Inc. and its subsidiaries.

1. Organization and Basis of Presentation

General

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The results of operations for the three and six months ended March 31, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full fiscal year. The balance sheet at September 30, 2010 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and notes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.

These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated audited financial statements and the notes thereto at September 30, 2010 and 2009 and for each of the three years ended September 30, 2010, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2010 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 19, 2010.

2. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In September 2009, the FASB issued revised guidance for accounting for contracts that contain more than one contract element. The revised guidance establishes a selling price hierarchy for determining the selling price of each contract element. The guidance also expands the required disclosures. The Company adopted this guidance for all multiple-element arrangements entered into or significantly modified after October 1, 2010. The effect of this new guidance was not significant.

3. Goodwill and Intangible Assets

The changes in goodwill for the six months ended March 31, 2011 are as follows (in thousands):

	Health Services		Human Services		Total
Balance as of September 30, 2010	$	43,270	$	27,981	$	71,251
Foreign currency translation	441		1,140		1,581
Balance as of March 31, 2011	$	43,711	$	29,121	$	72,832

The following table sets forth the components of intangible assets (in thousands):

	As of March 31, 2011						As of September 30, 2010
	Cost		Accumulated Amortization		Intangible Assets, net		Cost		Accumulated Amortization		Intangible Assets, net

Technology-based intangible assets	$	7,380	$	3,906	$	3,474	$	7,160	$	3,654	$	3,506
Customer contracts and relationships	9,427		6,705		2,722		8,989		5,504		3,485
Non-compete arrangements	257		73		184		243		39		204
Trademark	658		75		583		622		39		583
Total	$	17,722	$	10,759	$	6,963	$	17,014	$	9,236	$	7,778

Table of Contents

The intangible assets include $3.4 million of fully amortized technology-based assets still in use by the Company. Excluding these assets, the Company’s intangible assets have a weighted average remaining life of 6.4 years, comprising 7.4 years for technology-based intangible assets, 4.9 years for customer contracts and relationships, 2.9 years for non-compete arrangements and 8.9 years for the trademark. Amortization expense for the three and six months ended March 31, 2011 was $0.6 million and $1.2 million, respectively. Future amortization expense is estimated as follows (in thousands):

Six months ended September 30, 2011	$	1,215
Year ended September 30, 2012	1,187
Year ended September 30, 2013	1,087
Year ended September 30, 2014	724
Year ended September 30, 2015	717
Thereafter	2,033
Total	$	6,963

4. Fair Value Measurements

The Company is required to disclose the fair value of all assets and liabilities subject to fair value measurement and the nature of the valuation techniques, including their classification within the fair value hierarchy, utilized by the Company in performing these measurements.

The FASB provides a fair value framework which requires the categorization of assets and liabilities into three levels based upon the assumptions (or inputs) used to price the assets or liabilities. Level 1 provides the most reliable measure of fair value, whereas Level 3 generally requires significant management judgment. The three levels are defined as follows:

Level 1:		Observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2:		Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets and quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.

Level 3:		Unobservable inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions.

The Company’s financial assets subject to fair value measurements and the necessary disclosures are as follows (in thousands):

	Fair Value as of March 31,			Fair Value Measurements as of March 31, 2011 Using Fair Value Hierarchy
Description	2011			Level 1		Level 2			Level 3
Current portion of acquisition-related contingent consideration	$	(1,028	)	$	—	$	—		$	(1,028	)
Acquisition-related contingent consideration, less current portion	(2,360		)	—		—			(2,360		)
Deferred compensation plan liabilities	(10,543		)	—		(10,543		)	—

The Company’s deferred compensation plan liabilities are valued using a market approach, utilizing the value of the underlying investments to identify the fair value. Changes in deferred compensation plan liabilities are recorded in the income statement within “Interest and other income, net.”

Table of Contents

The Company’s only acquisition-related contingent consideration liability was incurred with the acquisition of DeltaWare Systems, Inc. (“DeltaWare”) in February 2010. The fair value of the acquisition-related contingent consideration liability was based on a probability-weighted approach derived from management’s own estimates of profitability and sales targets. During the six months ended March 31, 2011, management’s estimates of DeltaWare’s future profitability have been revised, with the result that an additional charge was recognized in the period. Foreign currency translation adjustments were recorded as a component of other comprehensive income.

The effect on the financial statements is summarized below (in thousands):

	Acquisition-related contingent consideration
	Current portion		Long-term portion		Total
Balance as of September 30, 2010	$	923	$	2,138	$	3,061
Additional estimated consideration	50		100		150
Foreign currency translation	55		122		177
Balance as of March 31, 2011	$	1,028	$	2,360	$	3,388

5. Commitments and Contingencies

Litigation

The Company is involved in various legal proceedings, including contract and employment claims, in the ordinary course of its business. The matters reported on below involve significant pending or potential claims against us.

In March 2009, a state Medicaid agency asserted a claim against MAXIMUS, related to a discontinued business line, in the amount of $2.3 million in connection with a contract MAXIMUS had through February 1, 2009 to provide Medicaid administrative claiming services to school districts in the state. MAXIMUS entered into separate agreements with the school districts under which MAXIMUS helped the districts prepare and submit claims to the state Medicaid agency which, in turn, submitted claims for reimbursement to the federal government. No legal action has been initiated. The state has asserted that its agreement with MAXIMUS requires the Company to reimburse the state for the amounts owed to the federal government. However, the Company’s agreements with the school districts require them to reimburse MAXIMUS for such payments and therefore MAXIMUS believes the school districts are responsible for any amounts disallowed by the state Medicaid agency or the federal government. Accordingly, the Company believes its exposure in this matter is limited to its fees associated with this work and that the school districts will be responsible for the remainder. MAXIMUS has exited the federal healthcare claiming business and no longer provides the services at issue in this matter.

In August 2010, the Company received a draft audit report prepared on behalf of one of its former SchoolMAX customers. The SchoolMAX business line was sold as part of the divestiture of the MAXIMUS Education Systems division in 2008. The draft audit report recommends a refund of approximately $11.6 million primarily arising out of the alleged failure of MAXIMUS and the buyer of the division to observe the most favored customer pricing term of the contract. MAXIMUS believes the audit report is incorrect and that no amounts are owed as a refund. In February 2011, the client sent a letter to MAXIMUS and the buyer of the business initiating the dispute resolution process under the contract. The client reiterated some of the audit issues previously identified and also raised a number of issues pertaining to services and products delivered under the contract. The client alleges total damages in excess of $30 million. MAXIMUS and the buyer plan to contest all of the client’s claims. The Company also believes that it is entitled to indemnification from the buyer of the business for claims pertaining to services and deliverables.

Credit Facilities and Performance Bonds

The Company’s Revolving Credit Agreement provides for a senior secured revolving credit facility, with SunTrust Bank as administrative agent, issuing bank and swingline lender, and a syndicate of other lenders (the “Credit Facility”). The Credit Facility provides for a $35.0 million revolving line of credit commitment, which may be used (i) for revolving loans, (ii) for swingline loans, subject to a sublimit of $5.0 million and (iii) to request the issuance of letters of credit on the Company’s behalf, subject to a sublimit of $25.0 million. The Company may request an increase in the commitment under the Credit Facility, such that the aggregate commitments under the Credit Facility shall at no time exceed $75.0 million. The credit available under the Credit Facility may be used, among other purposes, to refinance the Company’s current indebtedness, to repurchase shares of the Company’s capital stock and to finance the ongoing working capital, capital expenditure and general corporate needs of the Company. The Credit Facility matures on January 25, 2013, at which time all outstanding borrowings must be repaid and all outstanding letters of credit must have been terminated or cash collateralized. At March 31, 2011, letters of credit totaling $11.3 million were outstanding under the Credit Facility.

Subject to applicable conditions, the Company may elect interest rates on its revolving borrowings calculated by reference to (i) the prime lending rate as announced by SunTrust Bank (or, if higher, the federal funds effective rate plus 0.50% or the one-month adjusted LIBOR) (a “Base Rate Borrowing”), or (ii) the reserve adjusted rate per annum equal to the offered rate for deposits in U.S. dollars for a one (1), two (2), three (3) or six (6) month period in the London Inter-Bank Market (a “LIBOR Borrowing”), and, in each case, plus an applicable margin that is determined by reference to the Company’s then-current leverage ratio. For swingline borrowings, the Company will pay interest at the rate of interest for a one (1) month LIBOR Borrowing, plus the applicable margin, or at a rate to be separately agreed upon by the Company and the administrative agent.

The Credit Facility provides for the payment of specified fees and expenses, including commitment and letter of credit fees, and contains customary financial and other covenants that require the maintenance of certain ratios including a maximum leverage ratio and a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio. The Company was in compliance with all covenants in the Credit Facility as of March 31, 2011. The Company’s obligations under the Credit Facility are guaranteed by certain of the Company’s direct and indirect subsidiaries (collectively, the “Guarantors”) and are secured by substantially all of MAXIMUS’ and the Guarantors’ present and future tangible and intangible assets, including the capital stock of subsidiaries and other investment property.

Table of Contents

The Company also has a loan agreement with the Atlantic Innovation Fund of Canada. This provides for a loan of up to 1.8 million Canadian Dollars, which must be used for specific technology-based research and development. The loan has no interest charge and is repayable in installments between 2012 and 2022. At March 31, 2011, $1.8 million (1.8 million Canadian Dollars) was outstanding under this agreement.

Certain contracts require us to provide a surety bond as a guarantee of performance. At March 31, 2011 and September 30, 2010, the Company had performance bond commitments totaling $25.7 million and $33.5 million, respectively. These bonds are typically renewed annually and remain in place until the contractual obligations have been satisfied. Although the triggering events vary from contract to contract, in general, we would only be liable for the amount of these guarantees in the event of default in our performance of our obligations under each contract, the probability of which we believe is remote.

Loss contract

During the three and six month periods ended March 31, 2011, the Company recorded a charge of $4.2 million and $7.3 million, respectively, on a fixed price contract. The Company has recorded a liability of $4.8 million related to the anticipated loss to be recorded on this contract. The revenue and profitability on this contract are based upon estimated costs to complete the project. The contract is expected to be completed during the 2012 fiscal year.

6. Legal and Settlement Expense (Recovery), Net

Legal and settlement expense (recovery), net consists of costs, net of reimbursed insurance claims, related to significant legal settlements and non-routine legal matters, including future probable legal costs estimated to be incurred in connection with those matters. Legal expenses incurred in the ordinary course of business are included in selling, general and administrative expense. The incremental costs of acquisitions, including legal fees, brokerage fees and valuation reports, are also included in this balance. The following table sets forth the matters that represent legal and settlement expense (recovery), net:

	Three months Ended March 31,					Six months Ended March 31,

11. Discontinued Operations

On September 30, 2010, the Company sold its ERP business for $5.6 million, net of transaction costs of $0.7 million, and recognized a pre-tax loss on sale of less than $0.1 million. The Company had previously recognized a loss on sale of $1.3 million during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009. At completion of the sale, the buyer agreed to pay $1.7 million with the balance payable following completion of certain procedures, including the preparation of a final balance sheet and working capital adjustment. During the quarter ended March 31, 2011, the buyer has informed us that they dispute the valuation of certain assets transferred at the time of sale and are withholding payment of the remaining balance until these matters are resolved. The Company established a reserve of $1.0 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2011 pending resolution of this matter.

The following table summarizes the operating results of the discontinued operations included in the Consolidated Statements of Operations (in thousands). During the sale negotiations for the ERP business in 2010, a contract previously included within discontinued operations was not transferred and, accordingly, is now included in continuing operations for all periods shown. Accordingly, the results for discontinued operations differ from those disclosed at March 31, 2010.

We discuss constant currency revenue information to provide a framework for assessing how our business performed excluding the effect of foreign currency rate fluctuations. To provide this information, revenue from foreign operations is converted into United States Dollars using average exchange rates from the previous fiscal period. Constant currency revenue information is a non-GAAP presentation of our numbers. We believe that constant currency growth provides a useful basis for assessing the Company’s performance. The presentation of these non-GAAP numbers is not meant to be considered in isolation, or as an alternative to revenue growth as a measure of performance.

We discuss operating income from continuing operations excluding legal and settlement expense. Legal and settlement expense, which is defined below, is broken out on the face of our financial statements as we believe that the exclusion of these costs and insurance recoveries from operating income provides a useful basis for assessing the Company’s performance. Operating income from continuing operations excluding legal and settlement expense is a non-GAAP presentation of our numbers. The presentation of these non-GAAP numbers is not meant to be considered in isolation, or as an alternative to operating income as a measure of performance.

Revenue increased 11.1%, or 8.4% on a constant currency basis, for the three months ended March 31, 2011, compared to the same period in fiscal 2010. Revenue increased 8.2%, or 6.0% on a constant currency basis, for the six months ended March 31, 2011,

compared to the same period in fiscal 2010. This growth was driven by organic growth in both our Human Services and Health Services segments and across all geographies. The results of the Company’s segments are considered in more detail below.

Selling, general and administrative expense (SG&A) consists of costs related to general management, marketing and administration. These costs include salaries, benefits, bid and proposal efforts, travel, recruiting, continuing education, employee training, non-chargeable labor costs, facilities costs, printing, reproduction, communications, equipment depreciation, intangible amortization and legal expenses incurred in the ordinary course of business. SG&A as a percentage of revenue has increased moderately in the three and six month periods ended March 31, 2011 compared with the comparative periods in fiscal 2010. The Company routinely experiences fluctuations between its SG&A and its gross profit margin and believes operating margin is a more appropriate metric for measuring performance.

Legal and settlement expense (recovery), net consists of costs, net of reimbursed insurance claims, related to significant legal settlements and non-routine legal matters, including future probable legal costs estimated to be incurred in connection with those matters. Legal expenses incurred in the ordinary course of business are included in selling, general and administrative expense. The incremental costs of acquisitions, including legal fees, brokerage fees and valuation reports, are also included in this balance. No legal and settlement costs have been incurred in either the three months or six months ended March 31, 2011. The prior periods included an insurance recovery of $7.5 million related to an arbitration settlement from fiscal year 2008.

Operating income from continuing operations for the three months ended March 31, 2011 increased 6.1% to $29.5 million compared with the same period in the prior year and increased 35.5% excluding the effect of legal and settlement expense. Operating income from continuing operations for the six months ended March 31, 2011 increased 9.5% to $56.8 million compared with the same period in the prior year and increased 22.1% excluding the effect of legal and settlement expense. These increases in operating income in both Health and Human Services Segments are discussed in greater detail below.

Interest and other income, net includes interest earned on cash and cash equivalents and on a note received by the Company for the disposal of a business in fiscal 2008, offset by charges related to the deferred compensation plan and acquisition-related contingent consideration related to DeltaWare. The balance also includes foreign exchange gains and losses, which are typically immaterial. Interest and other income, net has increased from $0.2 million to $0.9 million for the three months ended March 31,2011, compared with the same period in the prior year, and from $0.3 million to $1.4 million for the six months ended March 31, 2011, compared to the same period in the prior year. The increase is caused by increased cash balances and higher yields on investments, as well as the recovery of $0.3 million and $0.5 million for the three and six months ended March 31, 2011 related to a note received on the sale of a business in fiscal 2008. At the time of sale, the gain on sale was deferred and income is recognized as cash is received.

The provision for income taxes in the three months ended March 31, 2011 was $11.4 million, reflecting an effective tax rate of 37.4%. The comparative charge in the prior year was $10.0 million, an effective rate of 35.7%. The tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2010 was affected by a revision to the Company’s full year budget in that year as businesses in overseas jurisdictions with lower tax rates than those in the United States were anticipated to provide a greater share of the Company’s income. The comparative tax rates for the six month periods ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 were 37.1% and 37.5% respectively. The decline for the current period is caused by the increase in overseas-sourced income in the current year.

Income from continuing operations, net of income taxes, was $19.0 million, or $1.07 per diluted share, for the three months ended March 31, 2011, compared with $18.0 million, or $1.00 per diluted share, for the same period in fiscal year 2010. For the six month periods ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, income from continuing operations, net of income taxes was $36.6 million and $32.6 million, or $2.06 and $1.81 per diluted share, respectively. Operating income increased in 2011, offset by a pre-tax insurance recovery of $7.5 million in 2010, which did not reoccur in 2011.

Revenue increased by 3.8%, or 3.4% on a constant currency basis, for the six months ended March 31, 2011, compared to the same period in fiscal year 2010. Operating margin also improved in the three and six month periods ended March 31, 2011, compared to the same periods in fiscal year 2010. The improvement in revenue and operating margin were driven principally by organic growth; a spike in accretive, transaction-based work within our health appeals business and favorable timing on certain contracts.

Revenue increased by 15.9%, or 9.6% on a constant currency basis, for the three months ended March 31, 2011, compared to the same period in fiscal year 2010. Revenue increased by 15.8%, or 10.5% on a constant currency basis, for the six months ended March 31, 2011, compared to the same period in fiscal year 2010. Revenue growth was driven by our international welfare-to-work businesses in Australia and the United Kingdom. Margins were relatively consistent year-over-year. However, 2011 margins were dampered by cost growth on a single fixed-price contract. Charges of $4.2 million and $7.3 million were recorded against this contract during the three and six months ended March 31, 2011, respectively. Revenue and profitability on this contract are based upon estimated costs to complete the project. The contract is anticipated to be completed during the 2012 fiscal year.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Current Economic Environment

Within the United States, the current economic environment facing state and local governments continues to be challenging. Over the past few years, states have faced declining tax revenues, with increasing demand for critical services from the most vulnerable members of society. At the same time, states are generally required to balance their budgets each year. Certain states may delay payments to vendors as a result of budgetary constraints. In prior periods, the Company has faced short-term payment delays from state customers, all of which were ultimately recovered. The Company believes its liquidity and capital positions are adequate to weather short-term payment delays. In the event of more protracted delays, the Company may be required to seek additional capital sources, amend payment terms or take other actions. Extended payment delays could adversely affect the Company’s cash flows, operations and profitability.

The Company believes that demand for its services in its core areas of health and human services will remain strong, driven by the need for governments to fulfill federal mandates and “do more with less.”

The situation for international governments is also challenging, with each of the areas in which MAXIMUS operates experiencing unique local issues in addition to general global economic factors.

Cash Flows

	Six Months Ended March 31,
(dollars in thousands)	2011			2010

Net cash provided by (used in):
Operating activities — continuing operations	$	36,386		$	70,760

Effect of exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents	3,706			425
Net increase in cash and cash equivalents	$	27,834		$	33,547

Cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations for the six months ended March 31, 2011 was $36.4 million, compared with $70.7 million in the same period in fiscal year 2010. In the current period, an additional $15.5 million of payments related to income taxes has been made compared to the comparative period in fiscal 2010. This is primarily driven by changes in the scheduling of the Company’s income tax payments. A decline in net operating cash flows of $13.4 million in the United Kingdom business was caused by the deferred revenue, or up-front payments, on a contract with the UK government received in the prior year but utilized in the current period. Fiscal year 2010 cash flows also received the benefit of a one-time $7.5 million insurance recovery. The Company’s operating cash flows may fluctuate between quarters owing to the receipt of significant collections and the payment of suppliers.

Table of Contents

Cash used in operating activities from discontinued operations for the six months ended March 31, 2011 was $1.0 million, consistent with the same period in fiscal year 2010. During the six month period ended March 31, 2011, the principal cash outflow related to the settlement of accounts payable and payroll liabilities which had not been transferred to the acquirer on the sale of the business, as well as certain additional liabilities identified after the acquisition. In the comparative period in fiscal year 2010, the business was recording losses, including a charge related to the termination of a contract, resulting in cash outflows.

Cash used in investing activities from continuing operations for the six months ended March 31, 2011 was $10.3 million, compared to $20.6 million for the same period in fiscal year 2010. The principal driver of the change was the acquisition of DeltaWare Systems, Inc. (“DeltaWare”) for $10.7 million during the prior year.

Cash used in financing activities from continuing operations for the six months ended March 31, 2011 was $1.0 million, compared to $16.0 million for the same period in fiscal year 2010. This change is driven by: (1) an increase of $6.4 million of funds received from employee stock transactions, particularly proceeds from stock option exercises; (2) an increase of $2.7 million of tax benefits from the Company’s restricted stock units, reflecting the increased share price over that of RSU issuance; (3) a decline of $6.0 million of repurchases of common stock; and (4) $0.3 million of long-term debt obtained through our interest-free loan in Canada. These benefits were offset by a $0.4 million increase in our dividend payment, reflecting the increase in payments from twelve cents to fifteen cents per share.

The Company’s cash balance was increased by $3.7 million in the six-month period ended March 31, 2011 owing to foreign exchange rate fluctuations. The principal driver of this change was the strengthening of the Australian Dollar against the United States Dollar.

To supplement our statements of cash flows presented on a GAAP basis, we use the non-GAAP measure of free cash flows from continuing operations to analyze the funds generated from operations. We believe free cash flow from continuing operations is a useful basis for comparing our performance with our competitors. The presentation of non-GAAP free cash flows from continuing operations is not meant to be considered in isolation, or as an alternative to net income as an indicator of performance, or as an alternative to cash flows from operating activities as a measure of liquidity. We calculate free cash flow from continuing operations as follows:

	Six Months Ended March 31,
(dollars in thousands)	2011			2010

Cash provided by operating activities — continuing operations	$	36,386		$	70,760
Purchases of property and equipment	(6,464		)	(6,031		)
Capitalized software costs	(3,872		)	(4,325		)
Free cash flow from continuing operations	$	26,050		$	60,404

Repurchases of the Company’s common stock

Credit arrangements

Table of Contents

Other

Our working capital at March 31, 2011 and September 30, 2010, calculated as the difference between current assets and current liabilities, was $235.6 million and $191.5 million, respectively. At March 31, 2011, we had cash and cash equivalents of $183.2 million and debt of $1.8 million. Management believes this liquidity and financial position, along with the revolving credit facility discussed above, provides sufficient liquidity to continue any contemplated stock repurchase program (depending on the price of the Company’s common stock), to pursue selective acquisitions, and to consider the continuation of dividends on a quarterly basis. Restricted cash represents amounts held as security deposits on properties in overseas locations.

Under the provisions of certain contracts, we may receive funds on an accelerated basis that are treated as deferred revenue. The Company’s current contract within the United Kingdom, under the “Flexible New Deal” was established in this manner with significant cash funds in excess of revenues during fiscal 2010 and revenues in excess of cash receipts in fiscal 2011. This contract will terminate during the third quarter of the current fiscal year and the replacement contracts will not provide the same level of up-front cash benefit and will provide most payments on a contingent basis, which may take up to two years to be realized. This is expected to have an adverse effect of between $4 million and $6 million in cash flows in fiscal 2012, which management estimates will be recouped in fiscal 2013. The Company believes it has sufficient liquidity to manage these cash flows.

Under the provisions of certain long-term contracts, we may incur certain reimbursable transition period costs. During the transition period, these expenditures result in the use of our cash and in our entering into lease financing arrangements for a portion of the costs. Reimbursement of these costs may occur in the set-up phase or over the contract operating period. Related revenue may also be deferred during the set-up phase. As of March 31, 2011, $8.0 million in net costs had been incurred and reported as deferred contract costs on our consolidated balance sheet.

On April 8, 2011, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.15 for each share of the Company’s common stock outstanding. The dividend is payable on May 31, 2011, to shareholders of record on May 13, 2011. On May 5, 2011, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a two-for-one stock split in the form of a dividend of one share for each outstanding share. The dividend is payable on June 30, 2011, to shareholders of record on June 15, 2011. On the same date, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.09 for each share of the Company’s common stock outstanding. This dividend is payable on August 31, 2011 to shareholders of record on August 15, 2011.

We believe that we will have sufficient resources to meet our currently anticipated capital expenditure and working capital requirements for at least the next twelve months.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations are based on our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent liabilities and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates including those related to revenue recognition and cost estimation on certain contracts, the realizability of goodwill, and amounts related to income taxes, certain accrued liabilities and contingencies and litigation. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

We believe that we do not have material off-balance-sheet risk or exposure to liabilities that are not recorded or disclosed in our financial statements. While we have significant operating lease commitments for office space, these commitments are generally tied to the period of performance under related contracts. Additionally, although on certain contracts we are bound by performance bond commitments and standby letters of credit, we have not had any defaults resulting in draws on performance bonds. Also, we do not speculate in derivative transactions.

During the six months ended March 31, 2011, there were no significant changes to the critical accounting policies we disclosed in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2010.
