KRATOS DEFENSE & SECURITY SOLUTIONS, INC.
 
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
(Unaudited)
 
Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
All references to the “Company” and “Kratos” refer to Kratos Defense & Security Solutions, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and its subsidiaries.
 
(a)
Basis of Presentation
 
The information as of September 28, 2014 and for the three and nine months ended September 29, 2013 and September 28, 2014 is unaudited. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 29, 2013 was derived from the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements at that date. In the opinion of management, these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented. The results have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and do not necessarily include all information and footnotes necessary for presentation in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the related notes included in the Company’s audited annual consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 29, 2013, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on March 12, 2014 (the “Form 10-K”). Interim operating results are not necessarily indicative of operating results expected in subsequent periods or for the year as a whole.
 
(b)
Principles of Consolidation
 
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its 100% owned subsidiaries for which all inter-company transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
 
(c)
Fiscal Year
 
The Company has a 52/53 week fiscal year ending on the last Sunday of the calendar year, with interim fiscal periods ending on the last Sunday of each calendar quarter. The three and nine month periods ended September 29, 2013 and September 28, 2014 consisted of 13-week and 39-week periods, respectively. There are 52 calendar weeks in the fiscal years ending on December 29, 2013 and December 28, 2014.
 
(d)    Accounting Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Such estimates include revenue recognition, allowance for doubtful accounts, warranties, inventory valuation, valuation of long-lived assets including identifiable intangibles and goodwill, accounting for income taxes including the related valuation allowance on the deferred tax asset and uncertain tax positions, contingencies and litigation, contingent acquisition consideration, stock-based compensation, losses on unused office space, and business combination purchase price allocations. In the future, the Company may realize actual results that differ from the current reported estimates. If the estimates that the Company has used change in the future, such changes could have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

In accounting for our long-term contracts for production of products and services provided to the U.S. Government and provided to our Public Safety & Security ("PSS") segment customers under fixed price contracts, we utilize both cost-to-cost and units delivered measures under the percentage-of-completion method of accounting in accordance with the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 605, Revenue Recognition.

Due to the size and nature of many of our contracts accounted for under the percentage-of-completion method of accounting, the estimation of total revenues and costs at completion is complicated and subject to many variables. For example,

6
Table of Contents

estimates are made regarding the length of time to complete a contract since costs also include expected increases in wages, prices for materials and allocated fixed costs. Similarly, assumptions are made regarding the future impact of our efficiency initiatives and cost reduction efforts. Incentives, awards or penalties related to performance on contracts are considered in estimating revenue and profit rates and are recorded when there is sufficient information to assess anticipated performance. Suppliers' assertions are also assessed and considered in estimating costs and profit rates.
The Company closely monitors the consistent application of its critical accounting policies and compliance with contract accounting. Business operations personnel conduct periodic contract status and performance reviews. Also, regular and recurring evaluations of contract cost, scheduling and technical matters are performed by management personnel who are independent from the business operations personnel performing work under the contract. When adjustments in estimated contract revenues or costs are required, any significant changes from prior estimates are included in earnings in the current period ("the cumulative catch-up method").

(e)    Accounting Standards Updates
In April 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2014-08 ("ASU 2014-08") "Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant, and Equipment (Topic 360): Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity". The amendments in the ASU 2014-08 change the criteria for reporting discontinued operations and requires enhanced disclosures in this area. Under the new guidance, only disposals representing a strategic shift in operations should be presented as discontinued operations. Those strategic shifts should have a major effect on the organization’s operations and financial results. Examples include a disposal of a major geographic area, a major line of business, or a major equity method investment. In addition, the new guidance requires expanded disclosures about discontinued operations that will provide financial statement users with more information about the assets, liabilities, income, and expenses of discontinued operations. The new guidance also requires disclosure of the pre-tax income attributable to a disposal of a significant part of an organization that does not qualify for discontinued operations reporting. The amendments in ASU 2014-08 are effective in the first quarter of 2015 for public organizations with calendar year ends. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not believe that the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.
In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2014-09 ("ASU 2014-09") "Revenue from Contracts with Customers". ASU 2014-09 affects any entity using GAAP that either enters into contracts with customers to transfer goods or services or enters into contracts for the transfer of nonfinancial assets unless those contracts are within the scope of other standards (e.g., insurance contracts or lease contracts). ASU 2014-09 will supersede the revenue recognition requirements in Topic 605, Revenue Recognition, and most industry-specific guidance. The ASU also supersedes some cost guidance included in ASC Subtopic 605-35, Revenue Recognition—Construction-Type and Production-Type Contracts. For a public entity, the amendments in this ASU are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period. Early application is not permitted. The guidance permits companies to either apply the requirements retrospectively to all prior periods presented or apply the requirements in the year of adoption, through a cumulative adjustment. The Company has not yet selected a transition method nor has it determined the impact of adoption on its condensed consolidated financial statements.
In August 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2014-15 ("ASU 2014-15") "Presentation of Financial Statements—Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern". ASU 2014-15 is intended to define management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an organization’s ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related footnote disclosures. Under GAAP, financial statements are prepared under the presumption that the reporting organization will continue to operate as a going concern, except in limited circumstances. Financial reporting under this presumption is commonly referred to as the going concern basis of accounting. The going concern basis of accounting is critical to financial reporting because it establishes the fundamental basis for measuring and classifying assets and liabilities. Currently, GAAP lacks guidance about management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about the organization’s ability to continue as a going concern or to provide related footnote disclosures. ASU 2014-15 provides guidance to an organization’s management, with principles and definitions that are intended to reduce diversity in the timing and content of disclosures that are commonly provided by organizations today in the financial statement footnotes. The amendments are effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period. Early application is permitted for annual or interim reporting periods for which the financial statements have not previously been issued. The Company does not believe that the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.
There have been no changes in the Company's significant accounting policies for the nine months ended September 28, 2014 as compared to the significant accounting policies described in the Form 10-K.

contracts using costs as the basis of the percentage-of-completion calculation under the units of delivery method of revenue recognition. These costs represent accumulated contract costs less the portion of such costs allocated to delivered items. Accumulated contract costs include direct production costs, factory overhead and production tooling costs. Pursuant to contract provisions of U.S. Government contracts, such customers may have title to, or a security interest in, inventories related to such contracts as a result of advances, performance-based payments or progress payments. The Company reflects those advances and payments as an offset against the related inventory balances.
 
The Company regularly reviews inventory quantities on hand, future purchase commitments with its suppliers, and the estimated utility of its inventory. If the Company’s review indicates a reduction in utility below carrying value, it reduces its inventory to a new cost basis.

Note 5. Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share
 
The Company calculates net income (loss) per share in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 260, Earnings per Share (“Topic 260”). Under Topic 260, basic net income (loss) per common share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted net income (loss) per common share reflects the effects of potentially dilutive securities.

Shares from stock options and awards, excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per share because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive, were 1.9 million and 0.8 million for the three months ended September 29, 2013 and September 28, 2014, respectively, and 2.7 million and 0.9 million for the nine months ended September 29, 2013 and September 28, 2014, respectively.

In assessing the Company's ability to realize deferred tax assets, management considers, on a periodic basis, whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. As such, management has determined that it is appropriate to maintain a full valuation allowance against the Company's U.S. federal, combined state and certain foreign deferred tax assets, with the exception of an amount equal to its deferred tax liabilities, which can be expected to reverse over a definite life.
Federal and state income tax laws impose restrictions on the utilization of net operating loss (“NOL”) and tax credit carryforwards in the event that an “ownership change” occurs for tax purposes, as defined by Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“Section 382”). In general, an ownership change occurs when shareholders owning 5% or more of a “loss corporation” (a corporation entitled to use NOL or other loss carryovers) have increased their ownership of stock in such corporation by more than 50 percentage points during any three-year period. The annual base Section 382

10
Table of Contents

limitation is calculated by multiplying the loss corporation's value at the time of the ownership change by the greater of the long-term tax-exempt rate determined by the Internal Revenue Service in the month of the ownership change or the two preceding months. This base limitation is subject to adjustments, including an increase for built-in gains recognized in the five-year period after the ownership change.
In March 2010, an “ownership change” occurred that will limit the utilization of NOL carryforwards. In July 2011, another “ownership change” occurred. The March 2010 ownership change limitation is more restrictive. In prior years, the company acquired corporations with NOL carryforwards at the date of acquisition ("Acquired NOLs"). The Acquired NOLs are subject to separate limitations that may further restrict the use of Acquired NOLs. As a result, the Company's federal annual utilization of NOL carryforwards will be limited to at least $27 million a year for the five years succeeding the March 2010 ownership change and at least $11.6 million for each year thereafter subject to separate limitations for Acquired NOLs. If the entire limitation amount is not utilized in a year, the excess can be carried forward and utilized in future years.
For the three and nine months ended September 28, 2014, there was no impact of such limitations on the income tax provision, since the amount of taxable income did not exceed the annual limitation amount. In addition, future equity offerings or acquisitions that have equity as a component of the purchase price could also cause an “ownership change.” If and when any other “ownership change” occurs, utilization of the NOL or other tax attributes may be further limited.
As discussed elsewhere, deferred tax assets relating to the NOL and credit carryforwards are offset by a full valuation allowance. In addition, utilization of state tax loss carryforwards is dependent upon sufficient taxable income apportioned to the states.
The Company is subject to taxation in the U.S. and various state and foreign tax jurisdictions. The Company's tax years for 2000 and later are subject to examination by the U.S. and state tax authorities due to the existence of the NOL carryforwards. Generally, the Company's tax years for 2002 and later are subject to examination by various foreign tax authorities.
As of December 29, 2013, the Company had $15.8 million of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would impact the effective income tax rate, subject to possible offset by an increase in the deferred tax asset valuation allowance. During the nine months ended September 28, 2014, unrecognized tax benefits were decreased by $0.2 million relating to various current year and prior positions.

The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in its provision for income taxes. During the nine months ended September 28, 2014 and September 29, 2013, a $0.1 million expense was recorded related to interest and penalties. The Company recorded a benefit for interest and penalties related to the reversal of prior position of $0.2 million for the nine months ended September 29, 2013. There was no material benefit recorded for the nine months ended September 28, 2014. The Company believes that no significant amount of the liabilities for uncertain tax positions will expire within twelve months of September 28, 2014.


Note 7. Discontinued Operations
 
In June 2012, consistent with its plans to complete an assessment and evaluation of the non-core businesses acquired in the Integral acquisition, the Company committed to a plan to sell certain lines of business associated with antennas, satellite-cased products and fly-away terminals. These operations were previously reported in the Kratos Government Solutions ("KGS") segment, and in accordance with ASC Topic 205, Presentation of Financial Statements ("Topic 205"), these businesses were classified as held for sale and reported in discontinued operations in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

In the second quarter of 2012, the Company recorded a $1.5 million impairment charge associated with the portion of goodwill that was allocated to the discontinued businesses based on management's estimate of the fair value of the business. The Company sold its domestic operations to two buyers for approximately $0.8 million in cash consideration and the assumption of certain liabilities. The Company received $0.3 million in cash in 2012 from the first buyer and $0.5 million in cash in April 2013 from the second buyer. The Company recorded a $1.2 million impairment charge in the first quarter of 2013 related to its revised estimate of the fair value of these operations.

Note 8. Debt
 
(a)
Issuance of 7.00% Senior Secured Notes due 2019
 
In May 2014, the Company refinanced its $625.0 million 10% Senior Secured Notes due in 2017 (the "10% Notes") with $625.0 million of newly issued 7.00% Senior Secured Notes due in 2019 (the "7% Notes"). The net proceeds of the 7% Notes was $618.5 million after an original issue discount of $6.5 million. The Company incurred debt issuance costs of $8.6 million associated with the new 7% Notes. The Company utilized the net proceeds from the 7% Notes, a $41.0 million draw on a new credit agreement discussed below, as well as cash from operations to extinguish the 10% Notes. The total reacquisition price of the 10% Notes was $661.5 million including a $31.2 million early termination fee, the write off of $15.5 million of unamortized issue costs, $12.9 million of unamortized premium, along with $5.3 million of additional interest while in escrow, which resulted in a loss on extinguishment of $39.1 million.

The Company completed the offering of the 7.00% Notes (hereafter the "Notes”) in a private placement conducted pursuant to Rule 144A and Regulation S under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”). The Notes are governed by an Indenture dated May 14, 2014 (the “Indenture”) among the Company, certain of the Company’s subsidiaries (the “Guarantors”) and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as Trustee and Collateral Agent. A Guarantor can be released from its Guarantee if (a) all of the Capital Stock issued by such Guarantor or all or substantially all of the assets of such Guarantor are sold or otherwise disposed of; (b) the Company designates such Guarantor as an Unrestricted Subsidiary; (c) if the Company exercises its legal defeasance option or its covenant defeasance option; (d) upon satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture or payment in full in cash of the principal of, premium, if any, accrued and unpaid interest.

The holders of the Notes have a first priority lien on substantially all of the Company's assets and the assets of the Guarantors, except with respect to accounts receivable, inventory, deposit accounts, securities accounts, cash, securities and general intangibles (other than intellectual property), on which the holders of the Notes have a second priority lien to the new $110.0 million credit agreement.

The Company pays interest on the Notes semi-annually, in arrears, on May 15 and November 15 of each year.
The Notes include customary covenants and events of default as well as a consolidated fixed charge ratio of 2.0:1 for the incurrence of additional indebtedness. Negative covenants include, among other things, limitations on additional debt, liens, negative pledges, investments, dividends, stock repurchases, asset sales and affiliate transactions. Events of default include, among other events, non-performance of covenants, breach of representations, cross-default to other material debt, bankruptcy,

12
Table of Contents

insolvency, material judgments and changes in control. As of September 28, 2014, the Company was in compliance with the covenants contained in the Indenture governing the Notes.

On or after May 15, 2016, the Company may redeem some or all of the Notes at 105.25% of the aggregate principal amount of such notes through May 15, 2017, 102.625% of the aggregate principal amount of such notes through May 15, 2018 and 100% of the aggregate principal amount of such notes thereafter, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption. In addition, the Company may redeem up to 35% of the Notes at 107% of the aggregate principal amount of such notes plus accrued and unpaid interest before May 15, 2016 with the net proceeds of certain equity offerings. The Company may also redeem some or all of the Notes before May 15, 2016 at a redemption price of 100% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date, plus a “make whole” premium. In addition, at one time prior to May 15, 2016, the Company may redeem up to 10% of the original aggregate principal amount of the Notes issued under the Indenture at a redemption price of 103% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption.

On September 17, 2014, the Company commenced an offer to exchange the outstanding Notes for an equal amount of new 7.00% Senior Secured Notes due 2019 (the “Exchange Notes”) that have been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Company made the exchange offer pursuant to the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement, dated May 14, 2014, that it entered into with the Guarantors and the representative of the initial purchasers of the Notes. The purpose of the exchange offer was to allow holders of the Notes to exchange their Notes for Exchange Notes that are not subject to transfer restrictions. The terms of the Exchange Notes are identical in all material respects to the terms of the Notes, except the Exchange Notes have been registered under the Securities Act. The Exchange Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, on a senior secured basis by the Company and each of its subsidiaries, as the guarantors thereof. The Company pays interest on the Exchange Notes semi-annually, in arrears, on May 15 and November 15 of each year. The Company completed the exchange offer on October 16, 2014, at which time the holders of all outstanding Notes had elected to exchange their Notes for Exchange Notes. The Company has no further obligations under the Registration Rights Agreement.

(b)    Other Indebtedness
 
$110.0 Million Credit Agreement

On May 14, 2014, the Company replaced its credit facility with KeyBank National Association and entered into a Credit and Security Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”), by and among the Company, the lenders from time to time party thereto, SunTrust Bank, as Agent (the “Agent”), PNC Bank, National Association, as Joint Lead Arranger and Documentation Agent and SunTrust Robinson Humphrey, Inc., as Joint Lead Arranger and Sole Book Runner.  The Credit Agreement establishes a five-year senior secured revolving credit facility in the maximum amount of $110.0 million (subject to a potential increase of the maximum principal amount to $135.0 million, subject to the Agent's and applicable lenders’ approval as described therein), consisting of a subline for letters of credit in an amount not to exceed $50.0 million, as well as a swingline loan in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding not to exceed $10.0 million. The Credit Agreement is secured by a lien on substantially all of the Company's assets and the assets of the guarantors thereunder, subject to certain exceptions and permitted liens. The Credit Agreement has a first priority lien on accounts receivable, inventory, deposit accounts, securities accounts, cash, securities and general intangibles (other than intellectual property). On all other assets, the Credit Agreement has a second priority lien junior to the lien securing the Notes.

The Credit Agreement contains certain covenants, which include, but are not limited to, restrictions on indebtedness, liens, and investments, and places limits on other various payments, as well as a financial covenant relating to a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.15:1. Events of default under the terms of the Credit Agreement include, but are not limited to: failure of the Company to pay any principal of any loans in full when due and payable; failure of the Company to pay any interest on any loan or any fee or other amount payable under the Credit Agreement within three business days after the date when due and payable; failure of the Company or any of its subsidiaries to comply with certain covenants and agreements, subject to applicable grace periods and/or notice requirements; or any representation, warranty or statement made in or pursuant to the Credit Agreement or any related writing or any other material information furnished by the Company or any of its subsidiaries to the Agent or the lenders shall prove to be false or erroneous. Subject to certain notice requirements and other conditions, upon the occurrence of an event of default, commitments may be terminated and the principal of, and interest then outstanding on, all of the loans may become immediately due and payable. However, where an event of default arises from certain bankruptcy events, the commitments shall automatically and immediately terminate and the principal of, and interest then outstanding on, all of the loans shall become immediately due and payable.

Borrowings under the revolving Credit Agreement may take the form of a base rate revolving loan, Eurodollar revolving loan or swingline loan.  Base rate revolving loans and swingline loans will bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the sum of

13
Table of Contents

the applicable margin from time to time in effect plus the highest of (i) the Agent’s prime lending rate, as in effect at such time, (ii) the federal funds rate, as in effect at such time, plus 0.50% per annum, and (iii) the adjusted LIBOR rate determined at such time for an interest period of one month, plus 1.00% per annum. Eurodollar revolving loans will bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the applicable margin from time to time in effect plus the adjusted LIBOR rate. The applicable margin varies between 1.50% - 2.00% for base rate revolving loans and swingline loans and 2.50%  - 3.00% for Eurodollar loans, and is based on several factors including the Company’s then-existing borrowing base and the Lender’s total commitment amount and revolving credit exposure. The calculation of the Company’s borrowing base takes into account several items relating to the Company and its subsidiaries, including amounts due and owing under billed and unbilled accounts receivables, then-held eligible raw materials inventory, work-in-process inventory, and applicable reserves. As of September 28, 2014, there was $41.0 million outstanding on the Credit Agreement and $12.4 million was outstanding on letters of credit, resulting in net borrowing base availability of $43.3 million. The Company was in compliance with the financial covenants of the Credit Agreement as of September 28, 2014.


Debt Acquired in Acquisition
 
The Company has a 10-year term loan with a bank in Israel entered into on September 16, 2008 in connection with the acquisition of one of its wholly owned subsidiaries. The balance as of September 28, 2014 was $4.0 million, and the loan is payable in quarterly installments of $0.3 million plus interest at LIBOR plus a margin of 1.5%. The loan agreement contains various covenants, including a minimum net equity covenant as defined in the loan agreement. The Company was in compliance with all covenants, including the minimum net equity covenant, as of September 28, 2014.

Fair Value of Long-term Debt
 
Carrying amounts and the related estimated fair values of the Company’s long-term debt financial instruments not measured at fair value on a recurring basis at December 29, 2013 and September 28, 2014 are presented in the following table:

The fair value of the Company’s long-term debt as of December 29, 2013 was based upon actual trading activity (Level 1, Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices in active markets). The fair value of the Company’s long-term debt as of September 28, 2014 was based upon broker reported trading activity by sophisticated investors (Level 2, Quoted prices in markets that are not active). The fair value at both December 29, 2013 and September 28, 2014 is the estimated amount the Company would have to pay to repurchase its debt, including any premium or discount attributable to the difference between the stated interest rate and market value of interest at the balance sheet date.
 
The net unamortized original issue discount of $6.1 million as of September 28, 2014, which is the difference between the carrying amount of $663.9 million and the principal amount of $670.0 million presented in the previous table, is being accreted to interest expense over the term of the related debt.
 
Note 9. Segment Information
 
The Company operates in two principal reportable business segments: Kratos Government Solutions ("KGS") and Public Safety & Security ("PSS"). The Company organizes its reportable business segments based on the nature of the products, solutions and services offered, the nature of the production processes, the type or class of customer for their products and services, the methods used to distribute their products or provide their services, and the nature of the regulatory environment. The KGS reportable business segment has five operating segments: Defense Rocket Support Services, Electronic Products, Technical and Training Solutions, Modular Systems, and Unmanned Systems.

Note 10. Significant Customers
 
Revenue from the U.S. Government, which includes foreign military sales, includes revenue from contracts for which the Company is the prime contractor as well as those for which the Company is a subcontractor and the ultimate customer is the U.S. Government. The KGS segment has substantial revenue from the U.S. Government. Sales to the U.S. Government amounted to approximately $143.4 million and $139.1 million, or 63% and 64% of total Kratos revenue, for the three months ended September 29, 2013 and September 28, 2014, respectively, and approximately $460.9 million and $378.4 million, or 64% and 59% of total revenue, for the nine months ended September 29, 2013 and September 28, 2014, respectively.
 
Note 11. Commitments and Contingencies
 
(a)
Legal Matters
 
In addition to commitments and obligations in the ordinary course of business, the Company is subject to various claims, pending and potential legal actions for damages, investigations relating to governmental laws and regulations and other matters arising out of the normal conduct of its business. The Company assesses contingencies to determine the degree of probability and range of possible loss for potential accrual in its condensed consolidated financial statements. An estimated loss contingency is accrued in the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements if it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Because litigation and legal matters are inherently unpredictable and unfavorable resolutions could occur, assessing litigation and legal matter contingencies is highly subjective and requires judgments about future events. When evaluating contingencies, the Company may be unable to provide a meaningful estimate due to a number of factors, including the procedural status of the matter in question, the presence of complex or novel legal theories, and/or the ongoing discovery and development of information important to the matters. In addition, damage amounts claimed in litigation against the Company may be unsupported, exaggerated or unrelated to possible outcomes, and as such are not meaningful indicators of the Company's potential liability. The Company regularly reviews contingencies to determine the adequacy of its accruals and related disclosures. The amount of ultimate loss may differ from these estimates. It is possible that cash flows or results of operations could be materially affected in any particular period by the unfavorable resolution of one or more of these contingencies. Whether any losses finally determined in any claim, action, investigation or proceeding could reasonably have a material effect on the Company's business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows will depend on a number of variables, including the timing and amount of such losses; the structure and type of any remedies; the monetary significance of any such losses, damages or remedies on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements; and the unique facts and circumstances of the particular matter that may give rise to additional factors.

Regulatory Matters
U.S. Government Cost Claims. The Company's contracts with the Department of Defense are subject to audit by the Defense Contract Audit Agency (“DCAA”). As a result of these audits, from time to time the Company is advised of claims concerning potential disallowed, overstated or disputed costs. For example, during the course of its current audits, the DCAA is closely examining and questioning certain of its established and disclosed practices that it had previously audited and accepted. In addition, based on a DCAA audit, the U.S. Department of Justice is currently investigating whether one of the Company's subsidiaries violated the federal False Claims Act by overstating its labor and material costs in a contract with the Department of Defense prior to the Company's acquisition of the subsidiary. Under the False Claims Act, the Department of Justice can seek civil penalties plus treble damages. The Company intends to defend itself in these matters and to work to resolve or settle any disputed contract costs. When appropriate, the Company records accruals to reflect its expected exposure to the matters raised by the U.S. Government. The Company reviews such accruals on a quarterly basis for sufficiency based on the most recent information available. Based on its assessment, the Company has accrued an amount in its financial statements for contingent liabilities associated with these matters that it considers to be immaterial to its overall financial position. The matter that is currently being investigated was identified during the acquisition process and was taken into consideration in the purchase price allocation of this subsidiary. Contract disputes with the U.S. Government, however, are inherently unpredictable, and unfavorable resolutions could occur. As a result, assessing contingencies is highly subjective and requires judgment about future events. The amount of ultimate loss may exceed the Company's current accruals, and it is possible that its cash flows or results of operations could be materially affected in any particular period by the unfavorable resolution of one or more of these contingencies.

Other Litigation Matters. The Company is subject to normal and routine litigation arising from the ordinary course and conduct of business and, at times, as a result of acquisitions and dispositions. Such disputes include, for example, commercial, employment, intellectual property, environmental and securities matters. The aggregate amounts accrued related to these matters are not material to the total liabilities of the Company. We intend to defend ourselves in any such matters and do

not currently believe that the outcome of any such matters will have a material adverse impact on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

(b)
Warranty
 
Certain of the Company’s products, product finishes, and services are covered by a warranty to be free from defects in material and workmanship for periods ranging from one to ten years. Optional extended warranty contracts can also be purchased with the revenue deferred and amortized over the extended warranty period. The Company accrues a warranty liability for estimated costs to provide products, parts or services to repair or replace products in satisfaction of warranty obligations. Warranty revenues related to extended warranty contracts are amortized to income, over the life of the contract, using the straight-line method. Costs under extended warranty contracts are expensed as incurred.
 
The Company’s estimate of costs to service its warranty obligations is based upon historical experience and expectations of future conditions. To the extent that the Company experiences any changes in warranty claim activity or costs associated with servicing those claims, its warranty liability is adjusted accordingly.
 
The changes in the Company's aggregate product warranty liabilities, which are included in other current liabilities and other long term-liabilities on the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheets, were as follows (in millions):

Note 12. Condensed Consolidating Financial Statements

The Company has $625.0 million in outstanding Senior Secured Notes (see Note 8). The Notes are guaranteed by all of the Company's 100% owned domestic subsidiaries (the "Subsidiary Guarantors") and are collateralized by the assets of all of the Company's 100% owned subsidiaries. The Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a joint and several basis by each Subsidiary Guarantor and the Company. There are no contractual restrictions limiting cash transfers from Subsidiary Guarantors by dividends, loans or advances to the Company. The Senior Secured Notes are not guaranteed by the Company's foreign subsidiaries (the “Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries”).

The following tables present condensed consolidating financial statements for the parent company, the Subsidiary Guarantors and the Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries, respectively. The condensed consolidating financial information below follows the same accounting policies as described in the condensed consolidated financial statements, except for the use of the equity method of accounting to reflect ownership interests in 100% owned subsidiaries, which are eliminated upon consolidation. Subsequent to the issuance of the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements for the quarter ended September 29, 2013, the Company reclassified cash flows related to Investment in affiliated companies to a separate line item in its Condensed Consolidating Statement of Cash Flows. These amounts were previously combined with financings from affiliated companies. There was no total impact on cash flow from either investing or financing activities.

Item 2.  Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
 

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this “Quarterly Report”) contains “forward-looking statements” relating to our future financial performance, the market for our services and our expansion plans and opportunities. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expect,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “predict,” “potential,” or “continue,” the negative of such terms or other comparable terminology. These forward-looking statements reflect our current beliefs, expectations and projections, are based on assumptions, and are subject to known and unknown risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results or achievements to differ materially from any future results or achievements expressed in or implied by our forward-looking statements. Many of these factors are beyond our ability to control or predict. As a result, you should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. The most important risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results or achievements to differ materially from the results or achievements reflected in our forward-looking statements, include, but are not limited to: changes or cutbacks in spending or the appropriation of funding by the federal government, including the U.S. Department of Defense, which could cause delays, cancellations or reductions of key government contracts; changes in the scope or timing of our projects; the timing, rescheduling or cancellation of significant customer contracts and agreements, or consolidation by or the loss of key customers; risks of adverse regulatory action or litigation; risks associated with debt leverage; failure to successfully consummate acquisitions or integrate acquired operations; risks related to security breaches, cybersecurity attacks or other significant disruptions of our information systems; and competition in the marketplace, which could reduce revenues and profit margins, as well as the additional risks and uncertainties described in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in “Item 1A-Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 29, 2013 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 12, 2014. These forward-looking statements reflect our views and assumptions only as of the date such forward-looking statements are made. Except as required by law, we assume no responsibility for updating any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

All references to “us,” “we,” “our,” the “Company” and “Kratos” refer to Kratos Defense & Security Solutions, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and its subsidiaries.

Overview
 
We are a specialized security technology business providing mission critical products, technology solutions and services for domestic and international customers, with our principal customers being national security related agencies of the U.S. Government. Our core capabilities are sophisticated engineering, manufacturing, system integration, test and evaluation offerings for national security platforms and programs. Our principal products and services are related to Command, Control, Communications, Computing, Combat Systems, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (“C5ISR”). We offer our customers products, solutions, services and expertise to support their mission-critical needs by leveraging our skills across our core offering areas in C5ISR.

We design, engineer and manufacture specialized electronic components, subsystems and systems for electronic attack, electronic warfare, radar, and missile system platforms; integrated product, software and technology solutions for satellite communications; products and solutions for unmanned systems; products and services related to cybersecurity and cyberwarfare; products and solutions for ballistic missile defense; weapons systems trainers; advanced network engineering and information technology services; weapons systems lifecycle support and sustainment; military weapon range operations and technical services; and public safety, critical infrastructure security and surveillance systems. We believe our stable customer base, strong customer relationships, intellectual property, broad array of contract vehicles, "designed in" positions on strategic national security platforms, large employee base possessing specialized skills, specialized manufacturing facilities and equipment, extensive list of past performance qualifications, and significant management and operational capabilities position us for success.

We were incorporated in the state of New York on December 19, 1994 and began operations in March 1995. We reincorporated in the state of Delaware in 1998. We completed our exit of the commercial wireless industry, began building a national security focused business and changed the Company's name to Kratos Defense & Security Solutions, Inc. in September 2007.

Industry Update
 
On February 15, 2014, legislation was signed that raises the U.S. debt limit through March 2015. In addition, in January 2014, appropriators passed legislation that offsets a portion of the sequester cuts for fiscal 2014 and 2015. This

translates to a somewhat better outlook for the defense industry than what was generally expected for both this year and next. However, we still expect lower or delayed awards on some of our programs, increased competition for a reduced defense outlay, and increased protest activity with a related negative impact on our revenues, earnings and cash flows.

In March 2014, the Pentagon submitted its FY 2015 Budget Request of approximately $496 billion, which is consistent with the Bipartisan Budget Spending Authorization. Also in March 2014, the Pentagon published the Quadrennial Defense Review ("QDR"). Both the Pentagon’s FY 2015 Budget Request and the QDR provide important insight for future national security funding priorities and related programs, which include cyber security and warfare, unmanned systems, satellite communications, missile defense and electronic warfare.

In September 2014, the President signed a FY2015 Continuing Resolution ("CR") that will fund the government through December 11, 2014. The bill sets the discretionary funding level for the federal government during CR period at an annual rate of $1.012 trillion. The House has passed seven of the twelve FY2015 appropriations bills while the Senate has passed none to date. As a result, Congress will have less than one month to reach agreement on the details of all 12 appropriations bills, put them together into an omnibus bill, and get the omnibus bill to the president by December 11th. If Congress does not meet this deadline it will need to pass another CR to avert a government shutdown.

 
Reportable Segments
 
We operate in two principal reportable business segments: Kratos Government Solutions (“KGS”) and Public Safety & Security (“PSS”). We organize our reportable business segments based on the nature of the products, solutions and services offered. Transactions between segments are generally negotiated and accounted for under terms and conditions similar to other government and commercial contracts, and these intercompany transactions are eliminated in consolidation. The condensed consolidated financial statements in this Form 10-Q are presented in a manner consistent with our operating structure. For additional information regarding our reportable business segments, see Note 9 of the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements. From a customer and solutions perspective, we view our business as an integrated whole, leveraging skills and assets wherever possible.

Strategic Acquisitions

We have historically supplemented our organic growth by identifying, acquiring and integrating businesses that meet our primary objective of providing us with the technology, intellectual property, manufacturing facilities and production equipment to address strategic national security programs and platforms, primarily in the unmanned systems, electronic warfare, satellite communications and missile system and radar areas of the DoD. We have also made certain acquisitions in the critical infrastructure security, strategic asset protection and public safety areas to expand our capabilities, scope, national depth, breadth and overall service offering.

Key Financial Statement Concepts
 
For a complete description of our business and a discussion of our critical accounting matters, please refer to Item 7, “Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” in the Form 10-K.

As of September 28, 2014, we consider the following factors to be important in understanding our financial statements.

KGS' business with the U.S. Government and prime contractors is generally performed under fixed price, time and material and cost reimbursable contracts. In accounting for our long-term contracts for production of products and services provided to the U.S. Government and provided to our PSS segment customers under fixed price contracts, we utilize both cost-to-cost and units delivered measures under the percentage-of-completion method of accounting under the provisions of ASC Topic 605, Revenue Recognition. Under the units delivered measure of the percentage-of-completion method of accounting, sales are recognized as the units are accepted by the customer generally using sales values for units in accordance with the contract terms. We estimate profit as the difference between total estimated revenue and total estimated cost of a contract and recognize that profit over the life of the contract based on deliveries or as computed on the basis of the estimated final average unit costs plus profit. We classify contract revenues as product sales or service revenues depending upon the predominant attributes of the relevant underlying contracts. Cost reimbursable contracts for the U.S. Government provide for reimbursement of costs plus the payment of a fee. Some cost reimbursable contracts include incentive fees that are awarded based on performance on the contract. Under time and materials contracts, we are reimbursed for labor hours at negotiated

27
Table of Contents

hourly billing rates and reimbursed for travel and other direct expenses at actual costs plus applied general and administrative expenses.

We consider the following factors when determining if collection of a receivable is reasonably assured: comprehensive collection history; results of our communications with customers; the current financial position of the customer; and the relevant economic conditions in the customer's country. If we have had no prior experience with the customer, we review reports from various credit organizations to ensure that the customer has a history of paying its creditors in a reliable and effective manner. If the financial condition of our customers were to deteriorate and adversely affect their financial ability to make payments, additional allowances would be required. Additionally, on certain contracts whereby we perform services for a prime/general contractor, a specified percentage of the invoiced trade accounts receivable may be retained by the customer until we complete the project. We periodically review all retainages for collectability and record allowances for doubtful accounts when deemed appropriate, based on our assessment of the associated risks.

We monitor our policies and procedures with respect to our contracts on a regular basis to ensure consistent application under similar terms and conditions as well as compliance with all applicable government regulations. In addition, costs incurred and allocated to contracts with the U.S. Government are routinely audited by the Defense Contract Audit Agency.

We manage and assess the performance of our businesses based on our performance on individual programs and contracts and programs obtained generally from government organizations with consideration given to the "Critical Accounting Principles and Estimates" as described in the Form 10-K. Due to the Federal Acquisition Regulation rules that govern our business, most types of costs are allowable, and we do not focus on individual cost groupings (such as cost of sales or general and administrative costs) as much as we do on total contract costs, which are a key factor in determining contract operating income. As a result, in evaluating our operating performance, we look primarily at changes in sales and service revenue and at operating income, including the effects of significant changes in operating income. Changes in contract estimates are reviewed on a contract-by-contract basis and are revised periodically throughout the life of the contract such that adjustments to profit resulting from revisions are made cumulative to the date of the revision in accordance with GAAP. Significant management judgments and estimates, including the estimated costs to complete the project, which determine the project's percent complete, must be made and used in connection with the revenue recognized in any accounting period. Material differences may result in the amount and timing of our revenue for any period if management makes different judgments or utilizes different estimates.

Revenues decreased $9.3 million from $226.4 million for the three months ended September 29, 2013 to $217.1 million for the three months ended September 28, 2014. PSS segment revenue decreased by $9.0 million, primarily driven by the completion or wind-down of certain security installation projects which occurred in the third quarter of 2014, coupled with the delay in awards of new security installation projects, competitor protests, reprocurement of awards, delays in contract negotiation processes and general contract award delays. KGS segment revenue decreased by $0.3 million. This net decrease was primarily due to the continued contraction and commoditization of the Company’s legacy government services business of approximately $8.6 million, the expected reduction in two sizable satellite communications projects as the scope of work

completed its natural contract life cycle transitioning from production to sustainment, resulting in net aggregate reduced revenues of $3.8 million, the reduction of shipments of certain of our aerial target products of $6.5 million, and delays in contract awards and competitor protests of new contracts awarded to the Company. These reductions were substantially offset by increased shipments in our specialized modular systems business of $6.5 million, increased work performed in our specialized air crew trainer business of $6.1 million, increased specialized work performed on government weapons ranges of $5.1 million, and increased shipments of our electronic warfare products of $1.5 million.

Product sales increased $2.4 million from $117.6 million for the three months ended September 29, 2013 to $120.0 million for the three months ended September 28, 2014, primarily as a result of increased production of our specialized modular systems and electronic warfare products, offset in part by the reduction of shipments of certain of our aerial target products. As a percentage of total revenue, product sales were 51.9% for the three months ended September 29, 2013 as compared to 55.3% for the three months ended September 28, 2014. Service revenues decreased by $11.7 million from $108.8 million for the three months ended September 29, 2013 to $97.1 million for the three months ended September 28, 2014. The decrease was primarily related to reductions in the legacy government service revenues and other service contracts in the KGS segment noted previously, which reductions are being experienced industry wide as a result of declining DoD budgets, changes in certain DoD procurement rules and other factors, and the reductions in our PSS business.
 
Cost of Revenues.  Cost of revenues decreased $10.0 million from $174.1 million for the three months ended September 29, 2013 to $164.1 million for the three months ended September 28, 2014. The decrease in cost of revenues was primarily a result of the changes discussed above.
 
Gross margin increased from 23.1% for the three months ended September 29, 2013 to 24.4% for the three months ended September 28, 2014. Margins on services decreased from the three months ended September 29, 2013 to September 28, 2014, from 24.3% to 20.0%, respectively, due primarily to an unfavorable mix of revenues and decreased margins in our PSS segment. Margins on products increased from the three months ended September 29, 2013 to September 28, 2014 from 22.0% to 28.0%, respectively, primarily due to the mix of products shipped. Margins in the KGS segment increased from 22.6% for the three months ended September 29, 2013 to 26.6% for the three months ended September 28, 2014, primarily as a result of a favorable mix of revenues. In addition, margins on products in the three months ended September 29, 2013 were impacted by increased costs recorded of approximately $5.4 million on certain aerial target contracts to reflect retrofits necessary to address design changes. Similarly, margins in the three months ended September 28, 2014 were impacted by net increased costs recorded of $3.2 million for retrofit related matters and a contract conversion adjustment. Margins in the PSS segment declined from 24.7% for the three months ended September 29, 2013 to 15.7% for the three months ended September 28, 2014 due primarily to a less favorable mix of revenues, and due to costs incurred on two sizable projects which have been completed in the third quarter of 2014 or are near-completion, under which we are in the process of submitting or have submitted changes orders to these customers to reimburse us for the work we have performed at our customers request. We have not reflected the potential value of these customer change orders in our revenues, which has resulted in a reduction to our gross margins during the current quarter.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses.  Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) decreased $2.0 million from $47.8 million for the three months ended September 29, 2013 to $45.8 million for the three months ended September 28, 2014, primarily as a result of a $3.3 million reduction of amortization of intangibles in 2014. As a percentage of revenues, SG&A remained flat at 21.1%. Excluding amortization of intangibles of $9.0 million for the three months ended September 29, 2013 and amortization of intangibles of $5.7 million for the three months ended September 28, 2014, SG&A increased as a percentage of revenues from 17.1% to 18.5%, or from $38.8 million to $40.1 million for the three months ended September 29, 2013 and September 28, 2014, respectively, due to an increase in non-cash stock compensation expense of $0.8 million, and due to increased infrastructure and business development investments made in our unmanned aerial drones and targets and combat aircraft business.

Merger and Acquisition Expenses.  The expense of $0.2 million for the three months ended September 29, 2013 were related to legal costs associated with an acquired entity.
 
Internal Research and Development ("IR&D") Expenses.  IR&D expenses were $4.8 million for the three months ended September 29, 2013 and $5.9 million for the three months ended September 28, 2014. As a percentage of revenues, IR&D increased from 2.1% of revenues in the three months ended September 29, 2013 to 2.7% of revenues in the three months ended September 28, 2014 as a result of certain investments the Company is making related to new programs and platforms in the electronic products business, the unmanned systems area, and the satellite communications business. We are making certain of these investments in conjunction with our customers, with the objectives of the Company’s products being “designed in” to these new long term program opportunities and the Company owning certain intellectual property rights for products that support these programs.

Table of Contents

 
Unused office space and other restructuring. The benefit of $6.6 million for the three months ended September 29, 2013 was primarily due to a change in the estimated excess facility accrual of office space at our Colombia, Maryland administrative facilities partially offset by expenses related to workforce reductions as a result of cost reduction initiatives we have implemented across the Company. The expense of $0.1 million for the three months ended September 28, 2014 was primarily due to employee termination costs related to personnel reduction actions taken during the third quarter of 2014.

Other Expense, Net.  Other expense, net decreased from $15.4 million to $12.5 million for the three months ended September 29, 2013 and September 28, 2014, respectively. The decrease in expense of $2.9 million is primarily related to a reduction in interest expense.
 
Provision for Income Taxes.  Income tax expense (benefit) for the three months ended September 29, 2013 and September 28, 2014 was $0.2 million and $(0.2) million, respectively. These amounts were primarily a function of the estimated effective tax rate for the respective years. The estimated effective tax rate for any given year is driven by estimated foreign taxes, estimated state taxes, permanent book/tax differences, tax amortization of intangible assets that have an indefinite life under GAAP and the projected income or loss for the year.

 Income (loss) from Discontinued Operations.  Revenue from discontinued operations was $0.0 million and $0.0 million and (loss) income from discontinued operations was $(0.4) million and $0.2 million for the three months ended September 29, 2013 and September 28, 2014, respectively. The loss from discontinued operations for the three months ended September 29, 2013 and September 28, 2014 were primarily related to operations of the non-core businesses from the Integral acquisition that were classified as held for sale and subsequently sold. See Note 7 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for a further discussion of our discontinued operations.

Revenues decreased $68.4 million from $714.9 million for the nine months ended September 29, 2013 to $646.5 million for the nine months ended September 28, 2014. KGS segment revenue decreased by $69.6 million. The decrease in revenues were primarily due to competitor protests on awards made to Kratos, a decline in shipments of our defense products, delays in orders and awards as a result of the challenging federal government and DoD funding environment, all of which adversely impacted the timing of new contract awards, bookings and the Company’s revenues. Additionally, revenue was also adversely impacted by the decrease resulting from the expected completion of two sizable satellite communications projects as the scope of work completed its natural contract life cycle transitioning from production to sustainment, which impacted revenues by approximately $13.3 million, continued ongoing weakness and increased competition and commoditization
in our legacy government services businesses of approximately $20.2 million, and the reduction of shipments of certain of our aerial target products of $32.1 million. PSS segment revenue increased by $1.2 million, primarily due to the delivery of security related communication equipment of $13 million, offset by the delay in contract awards and project starts in 2014.

Product sales decreased $32.9 million from $379.9 million for the nine months ended September 29, 2013 to $347.0 million for the nine months ended September 28, 2014, primarily as a result of the decline in product shipments due to the factors discussed above.  As a percentage of total revenue, product sales were 53.1% for the nine months ended September 29,

2013 as compared to 53.7% for the nine months ended September 28, 2014. Service revenues decreased by $35.5 million from $335.0 million for the nine months ended September 29, 2013 to $299.5 million for the nine months ended September 28, 2014. The decrease was primarily related to reductions in the legacy government service revenues and other service contracts in the KGS segment, which reductions are being experienced industry wide as a result of declining DoD budgets, changes in certain DoD procurement rules and other factors, as well as due to the expected completion of two sizable satellite communications projects.
 
Cost of Revenues.  Cost of revenues decreased $51.9 million from $536.4 million for the nine months ended September 29, 2013 to $484.5 million for the nine months ended September 28, 2014. The decrease in cost of revenues was primarily a result of the changes discussed above.
 
Gross margin increased from 25.0% for the nine months ended September 29, 2013 to 25.1% for the nine months ended September 28, 2014. Margins on services decreased from the nine months ended September 29, 2013 to September 28, 2014, from 24.1% to 23.3%, respectively, due primarily to a unfavorable mix of revenues and decreased margins in our PSS segment. Margins on products increased for the nine months ended September 29, 2013 to September 28, 2014 from 25.7% to 26.6%, respectively, primarily as a result of a mix of products shipped. Margins in the KGS segment increased from 24.8% for the nine months ended September 29, 2013 to 26.3% for the nine months ended September 28, 2014, primarily as a result of a favorable mix of revenues. In addition, margins on products in the nine months ended September 29, 2013 were impacted by increased costs recorded of approximately $5.4 million on certain aerial target contracts to reflect retrofits necessary to address design changes. Similarly, margins in the nine months ended September 28, 2014 were impacted by net increased costs recorded of $3.2 million for retrofit related matters and a contract conversion adjustment. Margins in the PSS segment decreased from 25.8% for the nine months ended September 29, 2013 and 21.0% for the nine months ended September 28, 2014, primarily due to decreased service margins and due to costs incurred on two sizable projects which have been completed in the third quarter of 2014 or are near-completion, under which we are in the process of submitting or have submitted changes orders to these customers to reimburse us for the work we have performed at our customers request. We have not reflected the potential value of these customer change orders in our revenues, which has resulted in a reduction to our gross margins during the current quarter.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses.  Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $10.8 million from $144.9 million for the nine months ended September 29, 2013 to $134.1 million for the nine months ended September 28, 2014, primarily as a result a $10.3 million reduction of amortization of intangibles in 2014, as well as cost reduction actions taken by the Company. As a percentage of revenues, SG&A increased from 20.3% to 20.7%. Excluding amortization of intangibles of $27.3 million for the nine months ended September 29, 2013 and amortization of intangibles of $17.0 million for the nine months ended September 28, 2014, SG&A increased as a percentage of revenues from 16.4% to 18.1%, or from $117.6 million to $117.1 million for the nine months ended September 29, 2013 and September 28, 2014, respectively, primarily as a result of the decline in revenues discussed previously, offset in part by increased compliance costs including internal cyber security costs incurred to protect the Company’s assets, Sarbanes Oxley and audit compliance costs including internal audit and external audit costs of $0.9 million.

Merger and Acquisition Expenses.  The benefit of $2.3 million for the nine months ended September 29, 2013 was due to the reduction in a $3.1 million liability as a result of the final settlement of our indemnity obligations related to former directors and officers of Integral, partially offset by other merger expenses and legal fees related to prior acquisitions.
 
Internal Research and Development ("IR&D") Expenses.  IR&D expenses were $14.5 million for the nine months ended September 29, 2013 and $17.0 million for the nine months ended September 28, 2014. As a percentage of revenues, IR&D increased from 2.0% of revenues in the nine months ended September 29, 2013 to 2.6% of revenues in the nine months ended September 28, 2014 as a result of certain investments the Company is making primarily related to new programs and platforms in the electronic products business, the unmanned systems area, and the satellite communications business. We are making certain of these investments in conjunction with our customers, with the objectives of the Company’s products being “designed in” to these new long term program opportunities and the Company owning certain intellectual property rights for products that support these programs.
 
Unused office space and other restructuring. The credit of $5.0 million for the nine months ended September 29, 2013 was due to a reduction in the excess facility accrual of office space at the Columbia, Maryland administrative facilities, partially offset by expenses related to workforce reductions as a result of cost reduction initiatives we have implemented across the Company. The expense of $1.7 million for the nine months ended September 28, 2014 was primarily due to an estimated excess facility accrual of office space at our Sacramento, California administrative facilities, as well as due to employee termination costs related to personnel reduction actions taken during the nine-month period ended September 28, 2014.

Other Expense, Net.  Other expense, net increased from $48.5 million to $81.3 million for the nine months ended September 29, 2013 and September 28, 2014, respectively. The increase in expense of $32.8 million is primarily related to $39.1 million loss on the extinguishment of the Company’s 10% Senior Secured Notes due 2017.

 Provision for Income Taxes.  Income tax expense (benefit) for the nine months ended September 29, 2013 and September 28, 2014 was $2.9 million and $3.7 million, respectively. These amounts were primarily a function of the estimated effective tax rate for the respective years. The estimated effective tax rate for any given year is driven by estimated foreign taxes, estimated state taxes, permanent book/tax differences, tax amortization of intangible assets that have an indefinite life under GAAP and the projected income or loss for the year.

 Income (loss) from Discontinued Operations.  Revenue from discontinued operations was $3.6 million and $0 million and loss from discontinued operations was $4.8 million and $0.0 million for the nine months ended September 29, 2013 and September 28, 2014, respectively. The revenue and loss from discontinued operations for the nine months ended September 29, 2013 were primarily related to operations of the non-core businesses from the Integral acquisition that have been classified as held for sale. See Note 7 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for a further discussion of our discontinued operations.

Backlog
 
At both September 29, 2013 and September 28, 2014, our backlog was approximately $1.0 billion of which $543.0 million was funded in 2013 and $533.0 million was funded in 2014. Backlog is our estimate of the amount of revenue we expect to realize over the remaining life of awarded contracts and task orders that we have in hand as of the measurement date. Our total backlog consists of funded and unfunded backlog. We define funded backlog as estimated future revenue under government contracts and task orders for which funding has been appropriated by Congress and authorized for expenditure by the applicable agency, plus our estimate of the future revenue we expect to realize from our commercial contracts that are under firm orders. Our funded backlog does not include the full potential value of our contracts because Congress often appropriates funds to be used by an agency for a particular program of a contract on a yearly or quarterly basis even though the contract may call for performance over a number of years. As a result, contracts typically are only partially funded at any point during their term, and all or some of the work to be performed under the contracts may remain unfunded unless and until Congress makes subsequent appropriation and the procuring agency allocates funding to the contract.
 
Unfunded backlog reflects our estimate of future revenue under awarded government contracts and task orders for which either funding has not yet been appropriated or expenditure has not yet been authorized. Our total backlog does not include estimates of revenue from government-wide acquisition contracts or General Services Administration schedules beyond awarded or funded task orders, but our unfunded backlog does include estimates of revenue beyond awarded or funded task orders for other types of indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity contracts based on our experience under such contracts and similar contracts. Unfunded backlog also includes priced options, which consist of the aggregate contract revenues expected to be earned as a result of a customer exercising an option period that has been specifically defined in the original contract award.
 
Contracts undertaken by us may extend beyond one year. Accordingly, portions are carried forward from one year to the next as part of backlog. Because many factors affect the scheduling of projects, no assurance can be given as to when revenue will be realized on projects included in our backlog. Although funded backlog represents only business that is considered to be firm, we cannot guarantee that cancellations or scope adjustments will not occur. The majority of funded backlog represents contracts with terms that would entitle us to all or a portion of our costs incurred and potential fees upon cancellation by the customer.
 
Management believes that year-to-year comparisons of backlog are not necessarily indicative of future revenues. The actual timing of receipt of revenues, if any, on projects included in backlog could change because many factors affect the scheduling of projects. In addition, cancellation or adjustments to contracts may occur. Backlog is typically subject to large variations from quarter to quarter as existing contracts are renewed or new contracts are awarded. Additionally, all U.S. Government contracts included in backlog, whether or not funded, may be terminated at the convenience of the U.S. Government.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
As of September 28, 2014, we had cash and cash equivalents of $16.2 million compared with cash and cash equivalents of $55.7 million as of December 29, 2013, which includes $8.4 million and $16.0 million, respectively, of cash and cash equivalents held by our foreign subsidiaries. We are not presently aware of any restrictions on the repatriation of these funds; however, they are considered permanently invested in these foreign subsidiaries. If these funds were needed to fund our

32
Table of Contents

operations or satisfy obligations in the U.S. they could be repatriated, and their repatriation into the U.S. may cause us to incur additional U.S. income taxes or foreign withholding taxes. Any additional U.S. income taxes could be offset, in part or in whole, by foreign tax credits. The amount of such taxes and application of tax credits would be dependent on the income tax laws and other circumstances at the time these amounts are repatriated. Based on these variables, it is not practicable to determine the income tax liability that might be incurred if these earnings were to be repatriated. We do not currently intend to repatriate these earnings.

Our total debt, including capital lease obligations, principal due on Senior Secured Notes, and other term debt increased by $19.3 million from $644.7 million on December 29, 2013 to $664.0 million on September 28, 2014. The increase in debt was primarily due to an offering of $625.0 million aggregate principal amount of 7.00% Senior Secured Notes due 2019 in a private placement conducted pursuant to Rule 144A and Regulation S under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The proceeds from the offering, as well as borrowings of $41.0 million from our new credit facility and cash from operations were used to extinguish the Company’s existing 10% Senior Secured Notes due 2017 and to pay all fees and expenses related thereto.
 
Our operating cash flow is used to finance trade accounts receivable, inventory, capital expenditures, support ongoing operations, service our debt and make strategic acquisitions. Cash from continuing operations is primarily derived from our customer contracts in progress and associated changes in working capital components. Our Days Sales Outstanding (DSOs) have increased from 103 days at December 29, 2013 to 107 days as of September 28, 2014, primarily as a result of certain contractual milestones that have not yet been attained, such as equipment deliveries on a missile system program that has been delayed due to a subcontractor issue, and for certain flight requirements that must be fulfilled on certain aerial target programs, and therefore we are unable to bill for amounts outstanding related to those milestones. The challenging DoD budgetary environment described above, which has in certain instances caused delays in obtaining funding necessary to proceed with payments, has impacted our DSOs as well. Our accounts receivable balance of $255.1 million at September 28, 2014 includes $1.6 million of receivables due from a Greek customer under a subcontract arrangement Gichner Holdings, Inc. (“Gichner”) entered into with the Greek Ministry of Defense ("GMoD") in 2004 prior to our acquisition of Gichner in 2010. We do not have any significant direct exposure to European government receivables, and our customers do not rely heavily on European government subsidies or other European government support. We will continue to monitor our exposure to risks related to European sovereign debt.
 
A summary of our net cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations, investing activities, and financing activities from our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows is as follows (in millions):

 Net cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended September 28, 2014 was negatively impacted by reduced operating income and changes in working capital accounts. The use in working capital in the nine months ended September 28, 2014 is primarily related to production of certain combatant hardened facility product lines.

 Net cash used in investing activities is primarily comprised of capital expenditures, which consist primarily of investment in machinery, computer hardware and software and improvement of our physical properties in order to maintain suitable conditions in which to conduct our business.

Net cash used in financing activities for the nine months ended September 28, 2014 reflects refinancing $625 million of our 10% Senior Secured Notes with $625 million of 7% Senior Secured Notes as well as a $41.0 million borrowing on our new Credit Agreement.

The cash flow from discontinued operations is primarily related to non-core businesses we acquired in the Integral acquisition.

Contractual Obligations and Commitments

Issuance of 7% Senior Secured Notes due 2019

On May 14, 2014, the Company completed an offering of $625.0 million aggregate principal amount of 7.00% Senior Secured Notes due 2019 (the "Notes"). The proceeds from the offering, as well as borrowings of $41.0 million from our new credit facility and cash from operations, were used to refinance the Company’s existing 10% Senior Secured Notes due 2017 (the "10% Notes") and to pay all fees and expenses related thereto. The loss on the extinguishment of the 10% Notes was $39.1 million.

The Company pays interest on the Notes semi-annually, in arrears, on May 15 and November 15 of each year. The Notes include customary covenants and events of default as well as a consolidated fixed charge ratio of 2.0:1 for the incurrence of additional indebtedness. Negative covenants include, among other things, limitations on additional debt, liens, negative pledges, investments, dividends, stock repurchases, asset sales and affiliate transactions. Events of default include, among other events, non-performance of covenants, breach of representations, cross-default to other material debt, bankruptcy, insolvency, material judgments and changes in control. As of September 28, 2014, the Company was in compliance with the covenants contained in the Indenture governing the Notes.

On or after May 15, 2016, the Company may redeem some or all of the Notes at 105.25% of the aggregate principal amount of such notes through May 15, 2017, 102.625% of the aggregate principal amount of such notes through May 15, 2018 and 100% of the aggregate principal amount of such notes thereafter, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption. In addition, we may redeem up to 35% of the Notes at 107% before May 15, 2016 with the net proceeds of certain equity offerings. We may also redeem some or all of the Notes before May 15, 2016 at a redemption price of 100% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date, plus a “make whole” premium. In addition, at one time prior to May 15, 2016, we may redeem up to 10% of the original aggregate principal amount of the Notes issued under the Indenture at a redemption price of 103% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption.

On September 17, 2014, the Company commenced an offer to exchange the outstanding Notes for an equal amount of new 7.00% Senior Secured Notes due 2019 (the “Exchange Notes”) that have been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Company made the exchange offer pursuant to the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement, dated May 14, 2014, that it entered into with the Guarantors and the representative of the initial purchasers of the Notes. The purpose of the exchange offer was to allow holders of the Notes to exchange their Notes for Exchange Notes that are not subject to transfer restrictions. The terms of the Exchange Notes are identical in all material respects to the terms of the Notes, except the Exchange Notes have been registered under the Securities Act. The Exchange Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, on a senior secured basis by the Company and each of its subsidiaries, as the guarantors thereof. The Company pays interest on the Exchange Notes semi-annually, in arrears, on May 15 and November 15 of each year. The Company completed the exchange offer on October 16, 2014, at which time the holders of all outstanding Notes had elected to exchange their Notes for Exchange Notes. The Company has no further obligations under the Registration Rights Agreement.


Other Indebtedness

$110.0 Million Credit Facility

On May 14, 2014, the Company replaced the credit facility with KeyBank National Association and entered into a Credit and Security Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”), by and among the Company, the lenders from time to time party thereto, SunTrust Bank, as Agent (the “Agent”), PNC Bank, National Association, as Joint Lead Arranger and Documentation Agent and SunTrust Robinson Humphrey, Inc., as Joint Lead Arranger and Sole Book Runner.  The Credit Agreement establishes a five-year senior secured revolving credit facility in the maximum amount of $110.0 million (subject to a potential increase of the maximum principal amount to $135.0 million, subject to the Agent's and applicable lenders’ approval as described therein), consisting of a subline for letters of credit in the amount not to exceed $50.0 million, as well as a swingline loan in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding not to exceed $10.0 million. The Credit Agreement is secured by a lien on substantially all of the Company's assets and the assets of the guarantors thereunder, subject to certain exceptions and permitted liens. The Credit Agreement has a first priority lien on accounts receivable, inventory, deposit accounts, securities accounts, cash, securities and general intangibles (other than intellectual property). On all other assets, the Credit Agreement has a second priority lien junior to the lien securing the Notes.

Borrowings under the Credit Agreement may take the form of a base rate revolving loan, Eurodollar revolving loan or swingline loan.  Base rate revolving loans and swingline loans will bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the applicable margin from time to time in effect plus the highest of (i) the Agent’s prime lending rate, as in effect at such time, (ii)

34
Table of Contents

the federal funds rate, as in effect at such time, plus 0.50% per annum, and (iii) the adjusted LIBOR rate determined at such time for an interest period of one month, plus 1.00% per annum. Eurodollar revolving loans will bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the applicable margin from time to time in effect plus the adjusted LIBOR rate. The applicable margin varies between 1.50% - 2.00% for base rate revolving loans and swingline loans and 2.50%  - 3.00% for Eurodollar loans, and is based on several factors including the Company’s then-existing borrowing base and the Lender’s total commitment amount and revolving credit exposure. The calculation of the Company’s borrowing base takes into account several items relating to the Company and its subsidiaries, including amounts due and owing under billed and unbilled accounts receivables, then-held eligible raw materials inventory, work-in-process inventory, and applicable reserves. As of September 28, 2014, there was $41.0 million outstanding on the Credit Agreement and $12.4 million was outstanding on letters of credit, resulting in net borrowing base availability of $43.3 million. The Company was in compliance with the financial covenants as of September 28, 2014.

 
Debt Acquired in Acquisition
 
The Company has a 10-year term loan with a bank in Israel entered into on September 16, 2008 in connection with the acquisition of one of its wholly owned subsidiaries. The balance as of September 28, 2014 was $4.0 million, and the loan is payable in quarterly installments of $0.3 million plus interest at LIBOR plus a margin of 1.5%. The loan agreement contains various covenants, including a minimum net equity covenant as defined in the loan agreement. The Company was in compliance with all covenants, including the minimum net equity covenant, as of September 28, 2014.

Other Liquidity Matters
 
We believe that our cash on hand, together with funds available under the Credit Agreement and cash expected to be generated from operating activities, will be sufficient to fund our anticipated working capital and other cash needs for at least the next 12 months.

As discussed in Part II, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” of the Form 10-K, our quarterly and annual operating results have fluctuated in the past and may vary in the future due to a variety of factors, many of which are external to our control. If the conditions in our industry deteriorate or our customers cancel or postpone projects or if we are unable to sufficiently increase our revenues or further reduce our expenses, we may experience, in the future, a significant long-term negative impact to our financial results and cash flows from operations. In such a situation, we could fall out of compliance with our financial and other covenants, which, if not waived, could limit our liquidity and capital resources.

Critical Accounting Principles and Estimates
 
The foregoing discussion of our financial condition and results of operations is based on the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-Q. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, sales and expenses, and the related disclosures of contingencies. We base these 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 may differ from these estimates.

For the nine months ended September 28, 2014, there have been no significant changes to our "Critical Accounting Policies or Estimates" as compared to the significant accounting policies described in the Form 10-K.
 
Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
 
We are exposed to market risk, primarily related to interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates.

Exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates to our outstanding debt. We are exposed to interest rate risk, primarily through our borrowing activities under the Credit Agreement discussed under "Contractual Obligations and Commitments" above. Based on our current outstanding balance, a 1% change in the LIBOR rate would not significantly impact our financial position. We manage exposure to these risks through our operating and financing activities and, when deemed appropriate, through the use of derivative financial instruments. Derivative financial instruments are viewed as risk management tools and are not used for speculation or for trading purposes. Derivative financial instruments would be contracted with investment grade counterparties to reduce exposure to nonperformance.

Exposure to market risk for foreign currency exchange rate risk is related to receipts from customers, payments to suppliers and intercompany loans denominated in foreign currencies. We currently do not enter into foreign currency forward

35
Table of Contents

contracts to manage foreign currency exchange rate risk because to date exchange rate fluctuations have had minimal impact on our operating results and cash flows.

Our cash and cash equivalents as of September 28, 2014 were $16.2 million and are primarily invested in money market interest bearing accounts. A hypothetical 10% adverse change in the average interest rate on our money market cash investments and short-term investments would have had no material effect on our net loss for the nine months ended September 28, 2014.

Item 4.  Controls and Procedures.
 
Conclusions Regarding the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

As required by Rule 13a-15(b) promulgated under the Exchange Act, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report.

Based on the foregoing, our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level as of September 28, 2014.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended September 28, 2014 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

On November 4, 2014, the Board of Directors of Kratos Defense & Security Solutions, Inc. (the “Company”) approved an amendment to the Company’s Second Amended and Restated Bylaws to add a new Article 12 stipulating in what forum certain proceedings against the Company may be brought. Specifically, new Article 12 provides that, unless the Company consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, or another state or the federal court located in the State of Delaware, will be the sole and exclusive forum for (1) any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of the Company, (2) any action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any director, officer or other employee of the Company to the Company or the Company’s stockholders, (3) any action asserting a claim against the Company arising pursuant to any provision of the Delaware General Corporation Law or the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws, or (4) any action involving the internal affairs doctrine. The amendment further provides that any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring or holding any interest in shares of the Company’s capital stock is deemed to have notice of and consented to the foregoing provision.

The foregoing summary of the amendment is qualified in its entirety by reference to the text of the Amendment to the Second Amended and Restated Bylaws as adopted by the Board of Directors, which is filed as Exhibit 3.8 to this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and is incorporated by reference herein.
