Note 3 Earnings Per Share
Earnings per share for common stock is computed using the weighted average number of common shares
and common share equivalents outstanding. Common share equivalents consist of stock options,
unvested restricted stock issued to employees and shares held in escrow in connection with the
Companys acquisition of RL Phillips, Inc. During the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007,
1,430,700 and 49,000 stock options, respectively, were excluded from the computation of diluted
earnings per common share because the exercise prices of the options were higher than the average
market price of the Companys common stock for the respective period.
Note 4 Acquisitions
RL Phillips, Inc.
On August 31, 2007, the Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary TechTeam Government Solutions,
Inc., completed the acquisition of all of the outstanding common stock of RL Phillips, Inc. (RL
Phillips) for approximately $2,150,000. Of the total purchase price, $300,000 was paid in shares
of TechTeam common stock, which was placed into escrow for a period of three years after closing to
reimburse the Company for any claims for indemnity or breach of representation and warranties.
Furthermore, $100,000 was held back and will be paid one year after closing. The
allocation of the purchase price to assets acquired and liabilities assumed is an estimate and may
change in future periods based on the final valuation of intangible assets.

year. The selling shareholders received SEK 4,200,000 (equal to $660,000 on the date of payment) in
April 2008 as a result of achieving the revenue target. The additional consideration was recorded

Note 5 Stock-Based Compensation
The Company measures and recognizes compensation expense for all stock-based payment awards based
on the estimated fair value of the award. Compensation expense is recognized over the period during
which the recipient is required to provide service in exchange for the award. Stock-based
compensation expense recognized in each period is based on the value of the portion of the
share-based award that is ultimately expected to vest during the period. The Companys outstanding
stock-based awards consist of stock options and restricted stock.
Stock Options
The Company recorded compensation expense totaling $243,000 and $246,000 related to outstanding
options during the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. At March 31, 2008 and
2007, there was approximately $2,880,000 and $201,000, respectively, of unrecognized compensation
expense related to stock options. Unrecognized compensation expense at March 31, 2008, is expected
to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately three years.
Compensation expense reported above includes the expense associated with 110,000 stock options that
were granted to directors on June 23, 2006, and approved by shareholders on May 16, 2007. This
award was accounted for as a liability award under a share-based payment arrangement, and
therefore, the fair value of the award was remeasured at each reporting date until the date of
settlement on May 16, 2007, when the final amount of compensation expense was measured. The Company
recorded compensation expense of approximately $209,000 during the three months ended March 31,
2007 for this stock option award. No compensation expense was recorded for this award during the
three months ended March 31, 2008.
The Company records compensation expense for stock options based on the estimated fair value of the
options on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes valuation model. The Company uses historical
data among other factors to estimate the expected price volatility, the expected option term and
the expected forfeiture rate. The risk-free rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in
effect at the date of grant for the expected term of the option.
The following assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of options granted for the three
months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007:

Restricted Common Stock
Compensation expense related to all restricted stock under all plans is recorded on a straight-line
basis over the vesting period. The Company recorded compensation expense of approximately $376,000
and $54,000 related to outstanding shares of restricted stock under all plans for the three months
ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Compensation expense for the three months ended March
31, 2008, includes $198,000 of expense related to the accelerated vesting of all non-vested
restricted stock awards granted to the Companys former President and Chief Executive Officer,
William C. Brown, in accordance with Mr. Browns amended Employment and Noncompetition Agreement.

Note 5 Stock-Based Compensation (continued)
The weighted average grant-date fair value of restricted stock granted under all plans was $8.42
and $11.58 for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The fair value of
restricted stock awards granted under all plans was determined based on the closing trading price
of the Companys common stock on the date of grant.
At March 31, 2008 and 2007, there was approximately $2,354,000 and $929,000, respectively, of total
unrecognized compensation expense related to nonvested shares of restricted stock. Unrecognized
compensation expense at March 31, 2008 is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period
of three years.
Note 6 Income Taxes
At March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, the Company had an unrecognized tax benefit of
approximately $52,000. The Company recognizes accrued interest related to unrecognized tax benefits
as a component of interest expense and recognizes penalties as a component of selling, general and
administrative expense. During the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, interest and
penalties recognized in the financial statements were not material. The Company has no material
accruals for the payment of interest and penalties at March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007.
The Company and its subsidiaries file income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, and
various state and foreign jurisdictions. With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to
U.S. federal, state and local, or non-U.S. income tax examinations by tax authorities for years
before 2002. The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) commenced an examination of the Companys 2004
U.S. federal income tax return in the first quarter of 2007, which is expected to be completed by
the second quarter of 2008. The following table summarizes tax years that remain subject to
examination by major tax jurisdictions.

|
|
2002 through 2006 |
For the three months ended March 31, 2008, the consolidated effective tax rate of 39.8% differs
from the statutory tax rate of 34% primarily due to state income taxes, foreign operating losses
for which a tax benefit is not recorded, and nondeductible expenses. For the three months ended
March 31, 2008, state income taxes include $144,000 related to the Michigan Business Tax, a new
income tax that was effective January 1, 2008. Excluding the new State of Michigan income tax, the
Companys effective tax rate was 36.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2008. Prior to 2008,
the State of Michigan had a value-added tax called the Single Business Tax that was not considered
an income tax and was, therefore, included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the
consolidated income statements. Single Business Tax included in selling, general and administrative
expenses totaled $120,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2007.
For the three months ended March 31, 2007, the consolidated effective tax rate of 27.7% differs
from the statutory tax rate of 34% primarily due to the tax benefit of tax rates in certain foreign
countries that are lower than 34% and the then-expected utilization of foreign tax loss
carryforwards. Furthermore, the Companys estimate of its fiscal 2007 effective tax rate that it
made in the first quarter of 2007 changed in subsequent quarters resulting in an effective tax rate
for fiscal 2007 of 34.7%.

Note 7 Segment Reporting
Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate financial
information is available and is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker, or
decision-making group, in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The
Companys chief operating decision-making group is the Executive Leadership Team, which is
comprised of the President and Chief Executive Officer, the Chief Financial Officer, the lead
executive of each geographic region and the Vice President of Service Delivery. The operating
segments are managed separately because each operating segment represents a strategic business unit
that offers different services.
The accounting policies of the operating segments are the same as those described in Note 1 to the
Companys consolidated financial statements contained in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K
for the year ended December 31, 2007. The Company evaluates segment performance based on segment
gross profit. Assets are not allocated to operating segments, but certain amounts of depreciation
and amortization expense are allocated to operating segments.
Financial information for the Companys operating segments is as follows:

Note 9 Fair Value Measurements
The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements,
on January 1, 2008, for its financial assets and liabilities. SFAS 157 defines fair value,
establishes a new framework for measuring fair value and expands certain disclosures. SFAS 157
discusses valuation techniques, such as the market approach (comparable market prices), the income
approach (present value of future income or cash flow), and the cost approach (cost to replace the
service capacity of an asset or replacement cost). The valuation techniques required by SFAS 157
are based on observable and inobservable inputs using the following hierarchy:
|
|
|
Level 1 |
|
Observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for
identical assets or liabilities. |
|
|
|
Level 2 |
|
Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability,
either directly or indirectly. These include quoted prices for similar assets or
liabilities in active markets and quoted prices for identical or similar assets or
liabilities in markets that are not active. |
|
|
|
Level 3 |
|
Unobservable inputs that reflect the reporting entitys own assumptions. |
The following table summarizes the bases used to measure certain financial assets and financial
liabilities at fair value on a recurring basis in the balance sheet:

The liability associated with the interest rate swap is included in other current liabilities and
other long-term liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet in the amounts of $626,000 and
$590,000, respectively. The interest rate swap agreement effectively converts a portion of the
Companys variable rate debt to a fixed rate. Under these agreements, we pay a variable rate of
LIBOR plus an applicable margin and receive a fixed interest rate. The fair value of these interest
rate derivatives are based on quoted prices for similar instruments from a commercial bank and,
therefore, the interest rate derivative is considered a level 2 item.

ITEM 2 MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Overview
We are a global provider of information technology (IT), enterprise support and business process
outsourcing services to Fortune 1000 corporations, government entities, multinational companies,
product and service providers and small and medium-sized companies. Our business consists of two
main components our Commercial business and our Government business. Together, our IT
Outsourcing Services segment, IT Consulting and Systems Integration segment and Other Services
segment comprise our Commercial business. Our Government Technology Services segment comprises our
Government business. In addition to managing our business by service line, we also manage our
business by geographic markets the Americas (defined as North America excluding our
government-based subsidiaries), Europe and Government Solutions (defined as our government-based
subsidiaries). Together, the Americas and Europe comprise our Commercial business.
For the first quarter of 2008, the Company reported earnings of $0.16 per diluted share an
increase of 87% in net income from the same period in 2007 and its sixth consecutive quarter of
record revenue of $66.0 million. Revenue grew by almost 43% from the first quarter of 2007 from
growth through acquisitions and over 20% organic growth (growth without acquisitions). Revenue from
our commercial business grew 26.1% over last year and over 23% organically, while revenue from our
Government business grew 94.0% over last year and over 17% organically.
Also during the first quarter, the Companys Board of Directors completed an extensive search
process that culminated with the appointment of Gary J. Cotshott as President and Chief Executive
Officer on February 11, 2008. As we enter the second quarter, we do so with good momentum yet with
opportunities to improve on many fronts such as becoming more efficient in how we operate as a
global organization, expanding our service capabilities and global presence, and expanding the
depth of our service offerings and partnerships in the industry.
Mr. Cotshott and the executive leadership team are in the process of undertaking a thorough review
and evaluation of the Companys organization structure and operating efficiency in all areas of the
business to align them globally across functions in order to increase productivity, drive
consistency in processes and promote the global sharing of best practices. When detailed review of
the business is complete, which we anticipate will be in the second quarter, we will communicate
our actions and conclusions.
13
With respect to expanding our global presence, we made significant progress in extending our
service capabilities in Europe with the establishment of three new TechTeam service desk delivery
locations in Europe in the first quarter in Dresden, Germany;
Sibiu, Romania; and Stockholm,
Sweden and we are taking support calls at each of them. Furthermore, we are working diligently
to establish a substantive presence in Asia in order to meet our customers need for lower cost,
high quality language support services.
Additionally, we are moving forward on our longer-term goals of expanding our portfolio of services
and deepening our relationships with our customers. For example, one of our major multinational,
global customers is moving to the CA service desk later this year for support of over 50,000 seats
in 36 countries and across five languages. CA is using their internal sales representatives to market
TechTeams line of managed service offerings to CAs customers.
Recent Developments
Effective May 9, 2008, the
President of our Government business, Dennis J. Kelly, Jr., resigned
from the Company. An executive search has commenced for his successor. William J. Donahue, Executive Vice President of TechTeam
Government Solutions, Inc., is serving as Interim President of our Government business until such
time that a successor is appointed.

Total Company revenue increased 42.8% to $66.0 million in 2008 through a combination of
acquisitions completed in 2007 and strong organic growth from IT Outsourcing Services and
Government Technology Services. Excluding revenue contributed by three acquisitions completed in
2007, revenue increased 20.6% to $53.6 million in 2008. Revenue was also positively affected by
approximately $2.1 million from the weakening of the U.S. dollar relative to the international
currencies in which the Company conducts business. We are unable to predict the effect fluctuations
in international currencies will have on our revenue in 2008, but given the uncertain economic
times, and the effect on the U.S. dollar, there could be significant revenue volatility.
IT Outsourcing Services
Revenue from IT Outsourcing Services increased 25.8% to $30.3 million for the first quarter of
2008, from $24.1 million for the same period in 2007, as a result of 8.8% revenue growth in the
Americas and 40.9% revenue growth in Europe. Our solid revenue growth reflects our success at being
able to grow existing accounts in our Commercial business, by expanding the scope of our services
and the geographies in which we deliver services, and add new customers in the Americas and Europe.
Revenue growth also reflects greater activity on certain accounts that were new in 2007 and a new
Fortune 500 account added in the fourth quarter of 2007. Lastly, revenue in Europe was positively
affected by approximately $1.7 million from the weakening of the U.S. dollar relative to the
international currencies in which the Company conducts business. Since most of our international
operating expenses are also incurred in the same foreign currencies in which the associated revenue
is denominated, the net impact of exchange rate fluctuations on gross profit is considerably less
than the estimated impact on revenue.
Ford is the Companys largest Commercial customer. IT Outsourcing Services revenue generated from
Ford globally decreased 1.3% to $9.3 million for the first quarter of 2008, from $9.4 million for
the same period in 2007. Revenue from Ford declined almost 18% in the Americas as a result of a
decline in seats supported from a reduction in Fords workforce, while revenue in Europe increased
in each country in which we deliver services to Ford from expansion of the SPOC Program resulting
in aggregate growth in Europe of over 25%. Please refer to our discussion of Ford in the Significant Customers
section of MD&A.
The Company has several IT Outsourcing contracts that expire in 2008; most notably the Ford Global
SPOC Contract and several accounts in the Americas and Europe that together comprised 32% of the
Companys total revenue in 2007. While we feel that we are well positioned to renew many of these
contracts in 2008, it is not possible to predict the outcome of these renewals or the terms under
which the renewals will occur. Notably, two projects comprising about 4% of IT Outsourcing Services
revenue in 2007 concluded and did not renew their contracts at the end of March 2008.
15
IT Consulting and Systems Integration Services
Revenue from IT Consulting and Systems Integration increased slightly to $6.9 million for the first
quarter of 2008, from $6.8 million for the same period in 2007. Excluding revenue from the
acquisition of SQM, revenue decreased slightly to $6.6 million. The decline in revenue was driven
by a decrease in business with Ford, which has the tendency to fluctuate from period to period. We
anticipate that our overall IT Consulting and Systems Integration business will increase in 2008
over 2007 as a result of new projects awarded to us by customers in the hospitality industry.
Government Technology Services
Revenue from Government Technology Services increased 94.0% to $22.0 million for the first quarter
of 2008, from $11.4 million for the same period in 2007, primarily due to our acquisitions of
NewVectors and RL Phillips in 2007. Excluding revenue from these acquisitions, revenue increased
17.2% to $13.3 million resulting from growth in existing customer programs and, to a lesser extent,
new customer contracts. Please refer to our discussion of the U.S. Federal Government in the
Significant Customers section of MD&A.

Consistent with revenue, the increase in gross profit is attributable to a combination of growth
from acquisitions completed in 2007 and organic growth from IT Outsourcing Services and Government
Technology Services. Excluding gross profit contributed by acquisitions completed in 2007, total
gross profit increased 20.8% to $13.3 million for the first quarter of 2008, while gross margin
(defined as gross profit as a percentage of revenue) improved slightly to 24.9% from 24.8%.
IT Outsourcing Services
Gross profit from IT Outsourcing Services increased 30.3% to $7.9 million for the first quarter of
2008, from $6.1 million for the same period in 2007, and gross margin increased to 26.1% from
25.2%. In the Americas, gross margin improved primarily due to new customers and margin
improvements on certain existing accounts, while gross margin in Europe was flat compared to 2007.
During the last two quarters, the Company has expanded its service delivery capability in Europe
with the establishment of new locations in Dresden, Germany; Sibiu, Romania; and Stockholm, Sweden.
Currently, these facilities have excess capacity and are underutilized, which is common with
start-ups and negatively impacted gross margin in 2008. The first quarter of 2007 was negatively
affected by the launch of support services for a major new customer and the renegotiation of the
contract terms with a large customer in Europe that resulted in lower pricing and severance costs
relating to the reduction of existing staff.
16
IT Consulting and Systems Integration Services
Gross profit from IT Consulting and Systems Integration decreased 8.3% to $1.4 million for the
first quarter of 2008, from $1.5 million for the same period in 2007, and gross margin decreased to
20.2% from 22.1%. Gross margin increased slightly in the Americas from new business, but gross
margin declined in Europe primarily due to competitive pressures in our application development
business in Romania.
Government Technology Services
Gross profit from our Government Technology Services segment increased 87.2% to $5.6 million for
the first quarter of 2008, from $3.0 million for the same period in 2007, and gross margin
decreased to 25.2% from 26.1%. The increase in gross profit was primarily due to our acquisition of
NewVectors in 2007. Excluding gross profit from acquisitions completed in 2007, gross profit was
$3.3 million and gross margin was 25.2%. The decrease in gross margin was due to various factors,
most notably the increased requirement for subcontracted resources on several programs. Please
refer to our discussion of the U.S. Federal Government in the Significant Customers section of
MD&A.

Americas
Revenue generated in the Americas increased 11.1% to $18.2 million for the first quarter of 2008,
from $16.4 million for the same period in 2007, primarily due to almost 9% revenue growth from IT
Outsourcing Services. In addition, revenue from our Other Services segment increased over 48% in
the Americas from a new global account won in 2007.
Gross margin from the Americas increased slightly to 24.0% for the first quarter of 2008, from
23.2% for the same period in 2007, as a result of gross margin improvement across all service
lines.
Europe
Revenue generated in Europe increased 39.4% to $25.7 million for the first quarter of 2008, from
$18.4 million for the same period in 2007, due to solid revenue growth in IT Outsourcing Services,
our acquisition of SQM and the weakening of the U.S. dollar relative to the other international
currencies in which we conduct business. Excluding the acquisition of SQM, revenue increased 32.3%
to $22.0 million. Furthermore, revenue in Europe was positively affected by approximately $2.1
million for the first quarter of 2008 due to the weakening of the U.S. dollar relative to the other
international currencies in which the Company conducts business.
17
Gross margin from Europe decreased to 24.9% for the first quarter of 2008, from 26.0% for the same
period in 2007, primarily due to expanding IT Outsourcing Services delivery capabilities with the
establishment of new locations in Dresden, Germany; Sibiu, Romania; and Stockholm, Sweden.
Currently, these facilities have excess capacity and are underutilized. In addition, gross margin
declined in the other service lines in Europe.

Selling, general, and administrative (SG&A) expense decreased to 20.3% of total revenue for the
first quarter of 2008, from 22.9% of total revenue for the same period in 2007, while increasing
26.1% on a dollar basis. Excluding the three acquisitions completed in 2007, SG&A expense was $10.7
million, or 20.0% of revenue, for the first quarter of 2008 and $10.1 million, or 22.7% of revenue,
for the same period in 2007. The improvement in SG&A expense as a percentage of revenue occurred in
spite of costs related to the Companys CEO succession plan ($283,000), expansion of service
delivery locations in Europe, incurring higher sales commissions, and other investments made to
support our growth. SG&A expense also increased due to the weakening of the U.S. dollar from the
first quarter of 2007.
In connection with the decision between the Board of Directors and the Companys former President
and Chief Executive Officer, William C. Brown, not to renew Mr. Browns contract upon its
completion in February 2009, Mr. Browns Employment and Noncompetition Agreement was amended. Under
the terms of the amendment, (1) the vesting of all outstanding, unvested stock-based awards were
accelerated and became fully vested in February 2008, (2) Mr. Brown will have until February 15,
2010 to exercise outstanding stock options and (3) Mr. Brown will be paid a bonus for fiscal 2008
of not less than $75,000. The modification of the stock-based awards to accelerate vesting and
extend the period in which stock options may be exercised resulted in additional compensation
expense of $198,000 in the first quarter of 2008.
Net interest expense was $444,000 for the first quarter of 2008, compared to net interest income of
$237,000 for the same period in 2007, as a result of interest expense on long-term debt issued in
connection with the acquisitions of NewVectors and RL Phillips in 2007.
The Companys year-to-date effective tax rate reported each quarter generally reflects the
Companys estimate of its effective tax rate for the current fiscal year. The consolidated
effective tax rate increased to 39.8% for the first quarter of 2008, from 27.7% for the same period
last year, primarily due to an increase in estimated year-over-year foreign operating losses for
which a tax benefit is not recorded and a new income tax in the State of Michigan that took effect
January 1, 2008. Furthermore, the Companys effective tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2007
was 34.7%. Excluding the new State of Michigan income tax expense of $144,000, the Companys
effective tax rate was 36.5% for the first quarter of 2008. Prior to 2008, the State of Michigan
had a value-added tax called the Single Business Tax that was not considered an income tax and was,
therefore, included in SG&A expense in the consolidated income statement. Single Business Tax
included in SG&A expense totaled $120,000 in the first quarter of 2007.
For the first quarter of 2008, the consolidated effective tax rate of 39.8% differs from the U.S.
statutory tax rate of 34% primarily due to state income taxes, foreign operating losses not
benefited and nondeductible expenses, which were partially offset by the tax benefit of tax rates
in certain foreign countries that are lower than 34%. For the first quarter of 2007, the
consolidated effective tax rate of 27.7% differs from the statutory tax rate of 34% primarily due
to the tax benefit of tax rates in certain foreign countries that are lower than 34% and the
then-expected utilization of foreign tax loss carryforwards.

Significant Customers
We conduct business under multiple contracts with various entities within the Ford organization and
with various agencies and departments of the U.S. Federal Government. For the first quarter of 2008
and 2007, Ford accounted for 16.6% and 24.7%, respectively, of our total revenue, and the U.S.
Federal Government accounted for 30.1% and 20.7%, respectively, of our total revenue. For the first
quarter of 2008, in the aggregate, 18.9% of our total revenue was derived from agencies within the
U.S. Department of Defense. For the first quarter of 2007, no single agency or department of the
U.S. Federal Government comprised 10% or greater of the Companys total revenue.
Ford Motor Company
Our business with Ford consists of service desk and desk side services, technical staffing, network
management and a specific project installing personal computers subcontracted through Dell Inc.
Revenue generated through our business with Ford decreased to $11.0 million for the first quarter
of 2008 from $11.4 million for the same period in 2007.
Our largest contract with Ford is our Ford Global SPOC Program, which is currently scheduled to
expire at the end of November 2008. Ford continues to seek cost savings on its total cost of IT
infrastructure support, and we continue to work with Ford during the contract renewal process to
find ways to reduce the total cost for our services. In our work on the contract renewal with Ford,
we are attempting to offset the anticipated decrease in the price charged for our services with an
increase in the number of seats supported and the expansion of the scope of our services. Except
for Volvo, for whom we billed on an per-incident basis, we provide a set of infrastructure support
services under specific service level metrics, and we invoice Ford based upon the number of seats
we support. The number of seats supported is determined bi-annually on December 1 and June 1 of
each year. If certain contractual conditions are met, Ford and TechTeam have the right during each
six month period to request one out-of-cycle seat adjustment. Except for the uncertainty around our
continuing to provide services to the Jaguar and Land Rover businesses, as a result of Fords
prospective sale of these businesses, we believe we are well positioned to expand the SPOC program.
In the first quarter of 2008, we concluded the transition of certain services that we perform for
Ford, valued at approximately $4 million in annual revenue, to internal Ford staff. As a result of
this and other changes in the mix and volume of services provided to Ford, it is possible that we
may lose 6-8% of our 2007 revenue from Ford in 2008, with a small degradation of gross profit
margin.
We do not believe that Fords financial condition will otherwise affect our business with Ford or
the collectibility of our accounts receivable from Ford; however, any failure to retain a
significant amount of business with Ford, a bankruptcy filing or other restructuring by Ford, would
have a material adverse effect on our operating results and liquidity.
U.S. Federal Government
We conduct business under multiple contracts with various agencies and departments of the U.S.
Federal Government. Revenue generated through our business with the U.S. Federal Government
increased to $19.9 million for the first quarter of 2008, from $9.5 million for the same period in
2007. Without the impact of acquisitions our government business grew approximately 17% during the
first quarter of 2008 from the same quarter in 2007. Most of this organic growth came from existing
customers.
The results of our Government business were negatively impacted by the difficult government
contracting environment created by the budget constraints our customers faced as funds are diverted
to support the conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan. As a result of this environment, many customers
have delayed procurement actions. In turn, we have experienced delays in our expected new business
development. With the NewVectors acquisition, the Company now derives a greater portion of its
government revenue from short-term, project-based work. The uncertainty in government spending
makes it more difficult to manage resources. Moreover, in 2008, our contract with the Business
Transformation Agency of the Department of Defense is up for renewal. Revenue from the Business
Transformation Agency totaled $2.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008. While we
believe that, as a member of a team with other contractors, we are well positioned to obtain the
renewal, there can be no assurances in this regard.

New Accounting Pronouncements
In March 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards
Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities an
Amendment of FASB Statement No. 133. SFAS 161 requires enhanced disclosure on (a) how and why an
entity uses derivative instruments, (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are
accounted for under SFAS 133 and its related interpretations and (c) how derivative instruments and
related hedged items affect an entitys financial position, financial performance and cash flows.
SFAS 161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods
beginning after November 15, 2008, with earlier application encouraged. The Company does expect
that SFAS 161 will have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141R, Business Combinations, and SFAS No. 160 Noncontrolling
Interests in Financial Statements, an amendment of ARB No. 51. These pronouncements are required
to be adopted concurrently and are effective for business combination transactions for which the
acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or
after December 15, 2008. Early adoption is prohibited, thus the provisions of these pronouncements
will be effective for the Company in fiscal 2009. The Company is evaluating the potential impact of
SFAS 141R and SFAS 160 on the consolidated financial statements.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and
Financial Liabilities. SFAS 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments
and certain other items at fair value that are not currently required to be measured at fair value.
Unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected will be
reported in earnings. The Company adopted SFAS 159 on January 1, 2008. The Company did not elect to
measure any items within the scope of SFAS 159 at fair value, and therefore, the adoption of SFAS
159 did not impact the Companys consolidated financial statements.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS 157, Fair Value Measurements. SFAS 157 establishes a
framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The
Company adopted SFAS 157 on January 1, 2008, as required for financial assets and liabilities. The
FASB deferred the effective date of SFAS 157 by one year for nonfinancial assets and liabilities
that are not recognized or disclosed at fair value on a recurring basis. The Company does not
expect that the adoption of the deferred portion of SFAS 157 will have a material impact on the
consolidated financial statements.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash and cash equivalents were $14.6 million at March 31, 2008, as compared to $19.4 million at
December 31, 2007. Cash and cash equivalents decreased $4.8 million during the first quarter of
2008 as a result of $2.9 million in net cash used in operating activities, $755,000 in cash used
for capital expenditures, $670,000 in cash used for acquisitions, and $558,000 in cash used for the
payment of long-term debt.
Operating activities used cash of $2.9 million for the first quarter of 2008, primarily due to a
non-cash working capital increase of $3.1 million largely from a decrease in accounts payable and
accrued liabilities and an increase in accounts receivable. Accounts receivable has increased over
the past two quarters from $60.1 million at September 30, 2007 to $72.1 million at March 31, 2008,
driven by over 11% revenue growth in the first quarter of 2008 from the third quarter of 2007 and
delayed payments from a few significant customers. Most of these customers paid past-due balances
during the first quarter, but one significant government customer did not pay its past-due balance
until April 2008. At March 31, 2008, accounts receivable included a total outstanding balance of
$9.2 million from this government customer, of which $5.9 million was paid in April 2008 including
almost all invoices over 60 days past due. Operating activities provided cash of $2.5 million for
the first quarter of 2007, which was generated primarily from net income, after adjusting for
depreciation and amortization.
Investing activities used cash of $1.4 million and $5.5 million for the first quarter of 2008 and
2007, respectively. In 2008, cash was used to purchase equipment and software and to make payments
to the selling shareholders of prior acquisitions for achieving financial performance targets in
2007. In 2007, cash was used primarily for our acquisition of SQM.
Financing activities used cash of $571,000 and $1.7 million for the three months ended March 31,
2008 and 2007, respectively, primarily due to payments on long-term debt.
20
Long-term cash requirements, other than for normal operating expenses, are anticipated for the
continued expansion in Europe, new expansion into the Asia-Pacific region, enhancements of existing
technologies, additional consideration that is or may become payable to the selling shareholders of
previously acquired companies based on specific performance conditions and operating targets,
possible repurchases of our common stock and the possible acquisition of businesses complementary
to our existing businesses. We believe that positive cash flows from operations, together with
existing cash balances, will continue to be sufficient to meet our ongoing operational requirements
for the next twelve months and foreseeable future. We have historically not paid dividends, and we
are restricted from doing so under the credit agreement with our banks.

chief financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure
controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Based
on this evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that, as of
March 31, 2008, our disclosure controls and procedures were (1) designed to ensure that material
information relating to us, including our consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to our chief
executive officer and chief financial officer by others within those entities, particularly during
the period in which this report was being prepared and (2) effective, in that they provide
reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or
submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time
periods specified in the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commissions rules and forms.
It should be noted that any system of controls, however well designed and operated, can provide
only reasonable, and not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the system will be met. In
addition, the design of any control system is based in part upon certain assumptions about the
likelihood of certain events. Because of these and other inherent limitations of control systems,
there is only reasonable assurance that our controls will succeed in achieving their goals under
all potential future conditions.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
No change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and
15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2008, that has
materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over
financial reporting.
