Meetings of the Committees of the Board of
Directors
The Audit Committee was
established to review, in consultation with the independent auditors, the Companys financial statements, accounting and other policies,
accounting systems and systems of internal controls. In 2006, the Audit Committee met nine times.
The Management Development and
Compensation Committee was established for the purpose of reviewing, determining and approving all forms of compensation to be provided to the
Companys executive officers and directors, and any stock compensation to be provided to all employees. The Management Development and
Compensation Committee formally met two times during the year 2006.
The Nominating and Corporate
Governance Committee was established to make recommendations regarding Board nominations and to monitor the implementation of corporate governance
rules and regulations. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee held six meetings in 2006.
Board of Directors Nomination Process
Board members are nominated
pursuant to the following policy: The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee identifies potential candidates for first-time nomination as a
director by using a variety of sources such as recommendations from the Companys management, current Board members, stockholders, and contacts in
organizations served by the Company. Stockholders may nominate potential candidates by following the procedure set forth in the Companys Bylaws:
The process set forth in the Companys Bylaws provides that, in order for nominations or other business to be properly brought before an annual
meeting by a stockholder, the stockholder must deliver written notice to the Companys secretary at the Companys principal executive offices
not less than 60 days nor more than 90 days prior to the first anniversary of the preceding years annual meeting; provided, however, that in the
event that the date of the annual meeting is advanced by more than 30 days or delayed by more than 60 days from such anniversary date, notice by the
stockholder to be timely must be so delivered not earlier than the 90th day prior to such
annual meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of the 60th day prior
to such annual meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of the 60th
day prior to such annual meeting or the tenth day following the day on which public announcement of the date of such meeting is first made. The
Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will consider any director nominees submitted by stockholders in accordance with these
procedures.
The Nominating and Corporate
Governance Committee then conducts an initial review of the potential candidates background, including whether he/she meets the minimum
qualifications for Board members; whether the individual would be considered independent under NASD and SEC rules; and whether the individual would
meet any additional requirements imposed by law or regulation on members of the Audit and/or Management Development and Compensation Committees of the
Board. Among the requirements potential candidates should meet are the following: U.S. citizenship; eligibility for security clearance at top secret
level; 10 years of corporate or related business experience, preferably having served on corporate Boards or committees; and familiarity with
government contracts, the defense industry, and information technology and security. The evaluation process of a potential candidates background
will not be treated differently whether or not he/she was nominated by a stockholder, except for nominations received from holders of Public Preferred Stock which are not subject to the Companys nomination process.
If the initial candidate review
is satisfactory, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will arrange an introductory meeting with the candidate and the committees
chairman or the Companys CEO or with other directors to determine the potential candidates interest in serving on the Board. If the
candidate is interested in serving on the Board and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee recommends further consideration, a comprehensive
interview conducted by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, the CEO, other members of the Board, and in some cases, key Company
executives, follows. Upon successful conclusion of the review process, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will present the
candidates name to the Board of Directors for nomination as a director and inclusion in the Companys Proxy Statement.
Stockholder Communications with Board of
Directors
Stockholders wishing to
communicate with the Board of Directors should contact the Corporate Secretary who will forward such communication to the appropriate committee of the
Board of Directors. There have been no changes in the procedures by which shareholders may recommend nominees to the Companys board of
directors.

Audit Committee Report
The information in this
report is not deemed to be soliciting material or deemed to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
SEC) or subject to the SECs proxy rules or to the liabilities of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
Exchange Act), and the report shall not be deemed to be incorporated by reference into any prior or subsequent filing by the Company under

The Audit Committee oversees
the Companys financial reporting process on behalf of the Board of Directors. Management has the primary responsibility for the financial
statements and the reporting process, including the systems of internal controls. In fulfilling its oversight responsibilities, the Audit Committee
reviewed with management the audited financial statements that were included in the Companys Annual Report filed on Form 10-K for fiscal year
ended December 31, 2006, the reasonableness of significant judgments, and the clarity of disclosures in the financial statements.
The Audit Committee reviewed
with the independent auditors, who are responsible for expressing an opinion on the conformity of those audited financial statements with generally
accepted accounting principles, their judgments as to the quality, not just the acceptability, of the Companys accounting principles and such
other matters as are required to be discussed with the Audit Committee under generally accepted auditing standards. In addition, the Audit Committee
discussed with the Companys independent auditors the overall scope and plans for their respective audits. The Audit Committee met with the
independent auditors, with and without management present, to discuss the results of their examinations, their evaluations of the Companys
internal controls, and the overall quality of the Companys financial reporting. The Audit Committee has received from the independent auditors
the written disclosures and letter required by the Independence Standards Board in Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1, and has discussed with
the independent auditors the auditors independence from management and the Company, including SAS 61 (Codification of Statements on Auditing
Standards (AU §380).
In reliance on the reviews and
discussions referred to above, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board of Directors (and the Board approved) that the audited financial statements
be included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006 for filing with the Securities and Exchange
Commission.
