FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Some of the statements under “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations”, and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (“Form 10-Q”), contain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, regarding future events and the future results of Dynamics Research Corporation (“DRC”) that are based on current expectations, estimates, forecasts, and projections about the industries in which DRC operates and the beliefs and assumptions of the management of DRC.  Words such as “anticipates”, “believes”, “estimates”, “expects”, “intends”, “plans”, “projects”, “may”, “will”, “should”, and other similar expressions are intended to identify these forward-looking statements.  These forward-looking statements are predictions of future events or trends and are not statements of historical matters.  These statements are based on current expectations and beliefs of DRC and involve a number of risks, uncertainties, and assumptions that are difficult to predict.  Therefore, actual results may differ materially and adversely from those expressed in any forward-looking statements.  Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this document or in the case of the statements incorporated by reference, the date of those statements.  Factors that might cause or contribute to any differences include, but are not limited to, those discussed in DRC’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008 under the section entitled “Risk Factors”.  Except to the extent required by applicable law or regulation, DRC undertakes no obligation to revise or update publicly any forward-looking statements for any reason.

DYNAMICS RESEARCH CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
(dollars in thousands, except per share amounts)


NOTE 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Dynamics Research Corporation (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries included herein have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.  The year-end condensed balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

In the opinion of management, all material adjustments that are of a normal and recurring nature necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the periods presented have been reflected. All material intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. The results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 may not be indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2009. The accompanying financial information should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes contained in the Company’s Form 10-K, filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for the year ended December 31, 2008.  The Company has reclassified certain prior period amounts to conform with the current period presentation.

NOTE 2. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 168, “The FASB Accounting Standards Codification™ and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles—a replacement of FASB Statement No. 162” (“SFAS 168”). SFAS 168 establishes the FASB Accounting Standards Codification™ to become the source of authoritative U.S. GAAP recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities. SFAS 168, which changes the referencing of financial standards, is effective for interim or annual financial periods ending after September 15, 2009. The Company expects to adopt SFAS 168 during the three months ended September 30, 2009 and is currently evaluating the impact that this adoption will have on its consolidated financial statements.
 
In May 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 165, “Subsequent Events” (“SFAS 165”). SFAS 165 establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. SFAS 165 will be effective for interim and annual financial periods ending after June 15, 2009. The Company adopted SFAS 165 during the three months ended June 30, 2009 and evaluated subsequent events through the issuance date of the financial statements. The Company evaluated its June 30, 2009 financial statements for subsequent events through August 10, 2009, the date the financial statements were available to be issued. The Company is not aware of any subsequent events which would require recognition or disclosure in the financial statements.
 
In April 2009, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) No. FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1, “Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments.” This FSP amends FAS 107, “Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments” to require disclosures about fair value of financial instruments for interim reporting periods of publicly traded companies as well as in annual financial statements.  This FSP also amends ABP No. 28, “Interim Financial Reporting” to require those disclosures in summarized financial information at interim periods.  This FSP was effective for interim reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009 and the required disclosures are included in footnote 8.

In April 2009, the FASB issued Staff Position (“FSP”) No. FAS 141(R)-1 “Accounting for Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed in a Business Combination That Arise from Contingencies”, which the Company adopted effective January 1, 2009. This FSP amends and clarifies SFAS 141R, to address application issues on initial recognition and measurement, subsequent measurement and accounting, and disclosure of assets and liabilities arising from contingencies in a business combination. The provisions of FSP FAS 141R-1 are applied prospectively to assets or liabilities arising from contingencies in business combinations for which the acquisition date occurs after January 1, 2009.

In December 2008, the FASB issued FSP FAS No. 132(R)-1, “Employer’s Disclosures about Postretirement Benefit Plan Assets.” This FSP amends SFAS No. 132(R), “Employers’ Disclosures about Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits — An Amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, and 106” to require more detailed disclosures about plan assets of a defined benefit pension or other postretirement plan, including investment

strategies; major categories of plan assets; concentrations of risk within plan assets; inputs and valuation techniques used to measure the fair value of plan assets; and the effect of fair-value measurements using significant unobservable inputs on changes in plan assets for the period. FSP 132(R)-1 is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2009, with earlier application permitted. The adoption of this standard will have no effect on our financial position or results of operations.

In June 2008, the FASB issued FSP No. EITF 03-6-1, “Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating Securities.” EITF 03-6-1 gives guidance as to the circumstances when unvested share-based payment awards should be included in the computation of earnings per share. The Company adopted EITF 03-6-1 on January 1, 2009. The adoption had no impact on the Company’s computation of earnings per share.

In April 2008, the FASB issued FSP No. 142-3, Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets (“FSP 142-3”), which amends the factors to be considered in renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset.  The Company adopted FSP 142-3 on January 1, 2009.  The adoption had no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133 (“SFAS 161”). SFAS 161 expands the disclosure requirements in SFAS 133 about an entity's derivative instruments and hedging activities. The Company adopted SFAS 161 on January 1, 2009. The adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In February 2008, the FASB issued FSP No. 157-2, Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157, (“FSP 157-2”). FSP No. 157-2 deferred the effective date provision of SFAS 157 for certain non-financial assets and liabilities until fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008. The Company adopted FSP 157-2 on January 1, 2009.  The adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements—An Amendment of ARB No. 51 (“SFAS 160”). SFAS 160 establishes new accounting and reporting standards for the non-controlling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. The Company adopted SFAS 160 on January 1, 2009. The adoption had no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R), Business Combinations (“SFAS 141(R)”), which amends SFAS No. 141, and provides revised guidance for recognizing and measuring identifiable assets and goodwill acquired, liabilities assumed, and any non-controlling interest in an acquired entity. It also provides disclosure requirements to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. The Company adopted SFAS 141(R) on January 1, 2009.  SFAS 141(R) is to be applied prospectively and will have an impact on accounting for business combinations on future acquisitions.

NOTE 3. BUSINESS ACQUISITION

On August 1, 2008, the Company completed the acquisition of Kadix Systems, LLC for $42.3 million in cash including acquisition costs of $408, with additional consideration of $5 million based on migration to the Company of services provided by Kadix under 8(a) contracts, which are stipulated for performance by minority/women owned contracts having an unrestricted status, and the achievement of anticipated 2009 gross margin targets.  During 2008, additional consideration of $5.0 million was earned and accrued as additional purchase price.  Of the additional purchase price, $750 was paid in 2008 and the remaining $4.3 million was paid in the first quarter of 2009.

Kadix maintains practice specialties in organizational change, human capital, information technology and public and environmental health.  As a part of the Company’s System and Services segment, Kadix is focused on the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (“DHS”), Marine Corps information technology, military medical health, and federal civilian markets.  The acquisition strengthens and expands the Company’s growth as a provider of high-end services and solutions in the DHS and other federal civilian markets.

There were no changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for the six months ended June 30, 2009. The carrying amount of goodwill of $97,641 at June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008 was included in the Systems and Services segment.

NOTE 6. INCOME TAXES

The Company recorded income tax provisions of $2,753 and $90 in the first half of 2009 and 2008, respectively.  The effective income tax rate was 41.9% in the first half of 2009 and 2008, excluding the tax effect of the $8.8 million litigation provision recorded in 2008. The Company estimated the tax benefits associated with the first quarter 2008 litigation provision at $2.1 million.

As of June 30, 2009 the Company had $465 of unrecognized tax benefits, of which $269 would affect its effective tax rate if recognized. Accrued penalties and interest were $186 and $135 at June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

The Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) continues to challenge the deferral of income for tax reporting purposes related to unbilled receivables including the applicability of a Letter Ruling issued by the IRS to the Company in January 1976 which granted to the Company deferred tax treatment of the unbilled receivables.  This issue was elevated to the IRS National Office for determination.  On October 23, 2008, the Company received a notification of ruling from the IRS National Office.  This ruling provided clarification regarding the IRS position relating to revenue recognition for tax purposes regarding its unbilled receivables.  The Company estimates that application of the ruling would reduce tax deferred income as of June 30, 2009 by $2.7 million and, accordingly, has transferred $1.1 million of taxes from deferred to current taxes payable.  The Company does not believe that any adjustment to taxable income in prior years resulting from this ruling will result in the payment of any interest or penalties.

The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and numerous state jurisdictions.  State tax returns for all years after 2004 are subject to future examination.  The IRS is currently examining the Company’s income tax returns for the years 2004 through 2007.

NOTE 7. FINANCING ARRANGEMENTS

The Company’s outstanding debt at June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008 was $34.0 million and $38.0 million, respectively, which consisted of borrowings under the Company’s term loan.  The interest rate on the term loan outstanding balance at June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008 was 3.22% and 4.21%, respectively, based on the 90-day LIBOR rate option that was in effect on June 30, 2009 and December 4, 2008, respectively.  The repayment of borrowings under the revolver is contractually due on August 1, 2013; however, the Company may repay at any time prior to that date.   At June 30, 2009, the remaining available balance to borrow against the Revolver was $25.0 million.

At June 30, 2009, the Company was in compliance with its loan covenants.

The following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for these items, as well as the general classification of such items pursuant to the fair value hierarchy of SFAS No. 157:

Investments held in Rabbi Trusts — The investments include exchange-traded equity securities and mutual funds. Fair values for these investments were based on quoted prices in active markets and were therefore classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

Interest rate swap — The derivative is a receive-variable, pay-fixed interest rate swap based on the LIBOR rate and is designated as a fair value hedge under SFAS No. 133. Fair value was based on a model-driven valuation using the LIBOR rate, which was observable at commonly quoted intervals for the full term of the swap. Therefore, our interest rate swap was classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

NOTE 9. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Company has entered into an interest rate swap agreement to manage its exposure to interest rate changes.  The swap effectively converts a portion of the Company’s variable rate debt under the term loan to a fixed rate, without exchanging the notional principal amounts.  If, at any time, the swap is determined to be ineffective, in whole or in part, due to changes in the interest rate swap or underlying debt agreements, the fair value of the portion of the swap determined to be ineffective will be recognized as a gain or loss in the statement of operations for the applicable period.

In September 2008, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement with an initial notional amount of $20.0 million of the term loan principal which matures on August 1, 2013.  Under this agreement, the Company receives a floating rate based on the 90-day LIBOR rate and pays a fixed rate of 3.60% (both excluding the applicable margin of 2.00%) on the outstanding notional amount. The swap fixed rate was based on a 90-day LIBOR rate and is structured to mirror the payment terms of the term loan.  The fair value of the swap at inception was zero.  It is not expected that any gains or losses will be reported in the statement of operations during the term of the agreement as the swap is assumed to be highly effective through its maturity based on the matching terms of the swap and facility agreements.

As of June 30, 2009, the total notional amount committed to the Company’s swap agreement was $17.0 million. On that date, the floating rate of a loan based on a 90-day LIBOR rate was 0.60%. The Company recorded a liability

NOTE 12. EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, basic earnings (loss) per share are computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Unexercised stock options and unvested restricted shares are excluded from this calculation but are included in the diluted earnings per share calculation using the treasury stock method so long as their effect is not anti-dilutive.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 and the three months ended June 30, 2008, diluted earnings per share are determined by using the weighted average number of common and dilutive common equivalent shares outstanding during the period.  For the six months ended June 30, 2008, the diluted effect of stock options and restricted stock grants of approximately 366,500 shares were not included in the computation of diluted loss per share as the net loss would have made their effect anti-dilutive.

Due to the anti-dilutive effect, approximately 570,700 and 651,400 options to purchase common stock were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, respectively.

The following table illustrates the reconciliation of the weighted average shares outstanding:

and December 31, 2008, no other customers accounted for more than 10% of the outstanding contract receivable balance.

Related Party

Through its wholly owned subsidiary, HJ Ford, the Company has a 40% interest in HMRTech which is accounted for using the equity method.  Revenues from HMRTech included in contract revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 were $1,733 and $4,501, respectively. The amounts due from HMRTech included in contract receivables at June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008 was $36 and $779, respectively.  In addition, HMRTech charged the Company $325 and $502 in the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, and $640 and $754, respectively, for the six months then ended relating to contract work.  At June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the Company had a related payable of $243 and $238, respectively.

NOTE 14. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

As a defense contractor, the Company is subject to many levels of audit and review from various government agencies, including the Defense Contract Audit Agency, various inspectors general, the Defense Criminal Investigation Service, the Government Accountability Office, the Department of Justice and Congressional Committees. Both related to and unrelated to its defense industry involvement, the Company is, from time to time, involved in audits, lawsuits, claims, administrative proceedings and investigations. The Company accrues for liabilities associated with these activities when it becomes probable that future expenditures will be made and such expenditures can be reasonably estimated. Except as noted below, the Company does not presently believe it is reasonably likely that any of these matters would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial position, results of operations or cash flows. The Company’s evaluation of the likelihood of expenditures related to these matters is subject to change in future periods, depending on then current events and circumstances, which could have material adverse effects on the Company’s business, financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
 
In September 2008 the Company and the U.S. Attorney reached an agreement on principal settlement terms, including a settlement amount of $15 million, which was provided for by the Company in 2008 regarding a civil complaint filed on October 9, 2003 by the Government.  The Company anticipates execution of a final agreement and payment of the $15 million, plus interest, in the third quarter of 2009.
 
On June 28, 2005, a class action employee suit was filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts alleging violations of the Fair Labor Standards Act and certain provisions of Massachusetts General Laws. The plaintiff’s claim was for $8 million.  On April 10, 2006, the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts entered an order granting in part the Company’s motion to dismiss the civil action filed against the Company, and to compel compliance with the Company’s mandatory dispute resolution program, directing that the parties arbitrate the claims, and striking the class action waiver which was part of the dispute resolution program. In the arbitration, the Company filed a Motion to Dismiss and/or for Summary Disposition.  The motion was denied and the arbitrator has requested the parties to proceed to discovery.  The Company believes it has substantive legal and factual defenses to this matter and intends to vigorously defend against the action.  Nevertheless, the outcome remains uncertain, and an adverse outcome could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or cash flows.


 

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

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes.  Unless the context otherwise requires, references in this Form 10-Q to “DRC”, “we”, “us” or “our” refer to Dynamics Research Corporation and its subsidiaries.

The following discussion also contains non-GAAP financial measures. In evaluating our operating performance, management uses certain non-GAAP financial measures to supplement the consolidated financial statements prepared under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”).
 
More specifically, we use the following non-GAAP financial measures: non-GAAP operating profit, non-GAAP income before income taxes, non-GAAP provision for income taxes, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP earnings per share.
 
Management believes these non-GAAP measures help indicate our operating performance before charges that are considered by management to be outside our ongoing operating results. Accordingly, management uses these non-GAAP measures to gain a better understanding of our comparative operating performance from period-to-period and as a basis for planning and forecasting future periods. Management believes these non-GAAP measures, when read in conjunction with our GAAP financials, provide useful information to investors by offering:
 
 
 
the ability to make more meaningful period-to-period comparisons of our ongoing operating results;
       
 
 
the ability to better identify trends in our underlying business and perform related trend analysis;
       
 
 
a higher degree of transparency for certain expenses (particularly when a specific charge impacts multiple line items);
       
 
 
a better understanding of how management plans and measures our underlying business; and
       
 
 
an easier way to compare our most recent results of operations against investor and analyst financial models.

The non-GAAP measures we use exclude the provision for litigation charge and its related tax effect that management believes is unusual and outside of our ongoing operations for the period presented.
 
These non-GAAP measures have limitations, however, because they do not include all items of expense that impact our operations. Management compensates for these limitations by also considering our GAAP results. The non-GAAP financial measures we use are not prepared in accordance with, and should not be considered an alternative to, measurements required by GAAP, such as operating loss, net loss and loss per share, and should not be considered measures of our liquidity. The presentation of this additional information is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the most directly comparable GAAP measures. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similar measures reported by other companies.

OVERVIEW

Business

Dynamics Research Corporation, headquartered in Andover, Massachusetts, is a leading provider of innovative engineering, technical, information technology and management consulting services and solutions to federal and state governments.  We provide support to our customers in the primary mission areas of IT, Logistics and Readiness, Systems Integration and Technical Services, Command, Control, Computers, Communications, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance, Homeland Security, Health and Human Services, Intelligence/Space, Cyber Security, and Public and Environmental Health.

On August 1, 2008, we completed the acquisition of Kadix Systems, LLC.  The acquisition has strengthened and expanded our growth as a provider of high-end services and solutions in the homeland security and other federal civilian markets.  The operating results of Kadix are included in DRC’s results of operations within the Systems and Services segment for the period subsequent to the acquisition date.

We have two reportable business segments: Systems and Services, and Metrigraphics. The Systems and Services segment accounted for approximately 98% of total revenue and the Metrigraphics segment accounted for approximately 2% of total revenue in the six months ended June 30, 2009.

Industry
 
We are cognizant of changing priorities of the federal government.  Federal agencies are focusing their procurement activities on execution of President Obama administration’s broad array of policy initiatives.  Cyber-security and information assurance, a shift in defense acquisition priorities and processes, financial stabilization, investment in health care IT and military health care programs and energy independence stand out as top federal priority areas for increased funding.


Over the past two years, we have carefully selected for strategic focus several target growth markets that are today within the scope of the new priorities that have been set by President Obama’s administration.  We are now seeing strong growth in revenues in these markets.  Homeland security and certain civilian agencies, primarily those with a financially-oriented mission, now represent nearly 40% of our revenue.  We also are seeing growth in cyber security and information assurance work, which currently represents about 10% of our business.  We currently are providing management, operational and technical services to clients across the federal sector – Defense, Homeland Security, Intelligence Agencies, and Civilian Agencies.  Our distinguishing strength is in the management area, where we are providing an array of solutions, such as business transformation, information assurance assessment and compliance, training, and human capital solutions, helping customers achieve their missions.

In addition to changing federal spending priorities, both President Obama and Secretary Gates have spoken to two specific reform initiatives – procurement reform and “in-sourcing” or strengthening of the federal civilian workforce, both of which are areas served by our training and human capital solutions.

Regarding federal acquisition reform, we have already experienced and are successfully dealing with these changes.  Over the past three years, we have seen a marked change in the mix of contract types that reflect the recent trends in the nature of federal procurement.  In the second quarter of 2009, 38 percent of our revenues were from fixed price contracts, compared with 33 percent in the second quarter of 2008.  In addition, nearly all of our contracts have been awarded through a competitive procurement process.

On the subject of in-sourcing, or the growth in the federal civilian workforce, we see, as do industry analysts and experts, that this growth is likely to come in the form of added acquisition support staff, as well as procurement and contract support specialists, and less likely to be in the type of high-value solutions and services that DRC provides.  With the shift in our business mix over the past several years, nearly 90 percent of our revenue now comes from providing solutions and services other than acquisition management, which increasingly has been and continues to be set aside for small businesses.  Consequently, we anticipate no significant long-term impact from this federal hiring initiative.

Outlook

Our business is conducted primarily with U.S. Government customers under both short-term and long-term contracts.  We have aligned our service offerings to current economic conditions and customer needs. The U.S. Government’s budgetary processes give us good visibility regarding future spending and the threat areas that are being addressed. Management believes that our current contracts and backlog of previously awarded contracts are well aligned with the direction of our customers’ future needs, and this provides us with good insight regarding future cash flows. In 2008, we recorded improved operating results absent the effect of the provision for litigation which, when included, resulted in a net loss.  Nonetheless, management recognizes that the current economic situation and significant changes in priorities under the new administration likely will result in significant changes in federal spending with increases in some areas and decreases in others.  While we may benefit from the increases, certain programs in which we participate may be subject to reductions.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

There are business risks specific to the industries in which we operate. These risks include: estimates of costs to complete contract obligations, changes in government policies and procedures, government contracting issues and risks associated with technological development. The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. Estimates and assumptions also affect the amount of revenue and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The use of alternative estimates and assumptions and changes in business strategy or market conditions may significantly impact our assets or liabilities, and potentially result in a different impact to our results of operations.

For information regarding our critical accounting policies, refer to the section titled “Critical Accounting Policies” in Part II, Item 7 of our 2008 Form 10-K. There have been no material changes from the critical accounting policies previously disclosed in our most recent Form 10-K.

Revenues

We reported total revenues of $69.6 million and $55.3 million in the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Total revenues for the second quarter of 2009 represent an increase of $14.3 million, or 26.0% of total revenue, from the same period in 2008.  Our revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 were $138.2 million and $111.8 million, respectively, representing an increase of $26.4 million, or 23.6% of total revenue, from the same period in 2008. The organic growth rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 was 4.2% and 4.4%, respectively.  Our computation of organic growth adds Kadix’s second quarter and first half of 2008 revenue of $11.6 and $20.6 million, respectively, to the Company’s reported revenues for such periods.

The decrease in revenues from national defense and intelligence agencies in the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 compared to the same period in 2008 was due to lower revenues from the transition of the U.S. Air Force Electronic Systems Center Information Technology Services Program II contract to the small business set-aside Professional Acquisition Support Services contract and the wind down of the U.S. Navy Trident Missile program.

The increase in revenues from federal civilian agencies and homeland security in the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 compared to the same period in 2008 was primarily due to added revenues related to the Kadix acquisition, supplemented by new contract and task order awards received in the second half of 2008 and in 2009.

The decrease in revenues from state and local government agencies in the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 compared to the same period in 2008 was primarily due to lower revenues from the State of Ohio contract, which is now completed, partially offset by revenues from the new child welfare system development project with the State of Tennessee which began in the second quarter of 2008.  Revenues from the State of Tennessee contract are currently projected at an estimated $13 million for 2009, compared with $7.0 million for 2008.  Revenues from the State of Ohio contract, which is now completed, were $0.5 million in the first half of 2009, compared with $12.1 million for all of 2008.

Prime contract revenues increased in the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 compared to the same periods in 2008 as a result of an increasing portion of contracts awarded under DRC’s agency-wide multiple award schedule indefinite delivery-indefinite quantity contracts, including contracts received through the Kadix acquisition.

Product Sales

Product sales for our Metrigraphics segment were $1.5 million and $1.6 million in the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, and $2.9 and $3.3 million, respectively, in the first half then ended.  The decrease in product sales was primarily due to lower orders for products other than medical device components, reflecting general economic conditions.

Funded Backlog

Our funded backlog was $138.3 million at June 30, 2009 and $149.2 million at December 31, 2008. We expect that substantially all of our backlog will generate revenue during the subsequent twelve month period.

Gross Profit

Total gross profit was $11.1 million and $8.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, resulting in a gross margin of 15.9% and 15.0%, respectively.  For the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, the total gross profit was $22.1 million and $17.0 million, respectively, resulting in a gross margin of 16.0% and 15.2%, respectively.

Our gross profit and gross margin on contract revenue increased to $11.1 million and 16.3% in the second quarter of 2009 from $8.1 million and 15.1% in the second quarter of 2008. For the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, the gross profit on contract revenue was $22.4 million and $16.7 million, respectively, resulting in a gross margin of 16.5% and 15.4%, respectively.  The improvement was due to the addition of higher margin services provided by the acquired Kadix operations, improved labor utilization and a shift from subcontract work to prime contract work, partially offset by an increase in pension expense due to the decline in plan asset performance in 2008.

Our gross loss on product sales was $0.1 million and $0.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, respectively, compared to gross profit of $0.2 million and $0.3 million for the same three and six month periods in 2008.  The decrease in gross profit was primarily attributable to lower revenues.

Selling, general and administrative expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $6.4 million and $5.1 million in the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, and $12.8 million and $10.5 million for the respective six months then ended.


Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percent of total revenue in the second quarter of 2009 and 2008 was 9.2% and 9.3%, respectively, and 9.3% and 9.4% for the respective six months then ended. Selling, general and administrative expenses in 2009 were higher compared to 2008 as a result of added costs to support the acquired Kadix operations and higher legal fees.

Provision for litigation

During the first quarter of 2008, we increased the accrual for litigation to $9.0 million based on the March 2008 court ruling on the U.S. Government’s motion for summary judgment.  Further discussion related to this litigation is referenced in Note 14 of our Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Amortization of intangible assets

Amortization expense was $1.0 million and $0.5 million in the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, and $1.9 million and $1.0 million for the respective six months then ended.  The increase in amortization expense primarily relates to intangible assets acquired as the result of our 2008 acquisition of Kadix and is included in the Systems and Services segment. The remaining amortization expense for the current fiscal year is expected to be approximately $0.8 million for the third quarter and $0.6 million for the fourth quarter, a total of $1.4 million.

Interest expense, net

We incurred interest expense of $0.5 million and $0.1 million in the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, and $1.1 million and $0.3 million for the respective six months then ended. The increase in interest expense was due to the addition of the term loan used to finance the Kadix acquisition.

Other income (expense), net

Other income (expense) consists of our portion of earnings and losses in HMRTech, gains and losses realized from our deferred compensation plan and results from other non-operating transactions, all of which were immaterial to our results.

Income tax provision

We recorded income tax provisions of $1.5 million and $1.1 million in the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, and $2.8 million and $0.1 million in the respective six months then ended.  The effective income tax rate was 41.9% in the first half of 2009 and 2008, excluding the tax effect of the $8.8 million litigation provision recorded in 2008. The Company estimated the tax benefits associated with the first quarter 2008 litigation provision at $2.1 million.  This estimate was revised in the third quarter of 2008 based on the proposed terms of the settlement agreement with the Department of Justice.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The following discussion analyzes liquidity and capital resources by operating, investing and financing activities as presented in our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Our principal sources of liquidity are cash flows from operations and borrowings from our revolving credit facility. At June 30, 2009, the borrowing capacity available under our revolver was $25.0 million.

Our results of operations, cash flows and financial condition are subject to trends, events and uncertainties, including demands for capital to support growth, economic conditions, government payment practices and contractual matters. Our need for access to funds is dependent on future operating results, our growth and acquisition activity and external conditions.

In light of the current economic situation, we have also evaluated our future liquidity needs, both from a short-term and long-term basis.  We believe we have sufficient funds to meet our working capital and capital expenditure needs for the short term. Cash on hand plus cash generated from operations along with cash available under credit


lines are expected to be sufficient in 2009 to service debt, finance capital expenditures, pay the anticipated settlement of litigation, pay federal and state income taxes and fund the pension plan, if necessary. To provide for long-term liquidity, we believe we can generate substantial positive cash flow, as well as obtain additional capital, if necessary, from the use of subordinated debt or equity. In the event that our current capital resources are not sufficient to fund requirements, we believe our access to additional capital resources would be sufficient to meet our needs.

We anticipate paying the $15.0 million litigation settlement due to the Government in the third quarter of 2009.  This litigation settlement is further described in Note 14 of our Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of this Form 10-Q.  We will use available cash on hand and borrow the remaining portion from our revolver.

We believe that selective acquisitions are an important component of our growth strategy. We may acquire, from time to time, firms or properties that are aligned with our core capabilities and which complement our customer base. We will continue to consider acquisition opportunities that align with our strategic objectives, along with the possibility of utilizing the credit facility as a source of financing.

At June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, we had cash and cash equivalents aggregating $6.6 million and $7.1 million, respectively. Our operating practice is to apply cash received against any outstanding revolving credit facility balances.  When a revolver balance exists, cash balances at the end of the period generally reflect the timing and size of cash receipts at the end of the period.

Operating activities

Net cash provided by operating activities totaled $8.1 million in the first half of 2009 compared to $5.5 million in the same period of 2008. The cash provided by operating activities in the first half of 2009 and 2008 was primarily attributable to net earnings realized during the quarter.

Contract receivables were $73.0 million at June 30, 2009, or 94 days sales outstanding (DSO), compared to $71.4 million, or 95 days at December 31, 2008. Billed receivables decreased $4.7 million during the first half of 2009, while unbilled receivables increased $6.3 million.  Federal business DSO was 79 days at June 30, 2009 compared to 86 days at December 31, 2008.  The difference between consolidated DSO and federal DSO was primarily due to our contracts with the States of Ohio and Tennessee which had aggregate contract receivable balances outstanding of $15.3 million and $12.7 million at June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively.

In February 2008, we were awarded a $25.5 million fixed price contract from the State of Tennessee, which began in the second quarter of 2008 with deployment scheduled to occur in early 2010.  The outstanding contract receivable balance of the State of Tennessee contract at June 30, 2009 was $14.2 million and is currently projected to be approximately $17 million at the end of 2009.

Our net deferred tax asset was $7.1 million and $7.7 million at June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively.  The decrease in the deferred tax asset is due to an increase in unbilled revenue for tax reporting purposes.  We paid $0.3 million in income taxes in the first half of 2009 and currently anticipate additional income tax payments of $0.5 million in the second half of 2009.  The IRS continues to challenge the deferral of income for tax purposes related to unbilled receivables including the applicability of a Letter Ruling issued by the IRS to the Company in January 1976 which granted to us deferred tax treatment of the unbilled receivables.  This issue was elevated to the IRS National Office for determination.  On October 23, 2008, we received a notification of ruling from the IRS National Office.  This ruling provided clarification regarding the IRS position relating to revenue recognition for tax purposes regarding our unbilled receivables.  We estimate that application of the ruling would reduce tax deferred income as of June 30, 2009 by $2.7 million and, accordingly, have transferred $1.1 million of taxes from deferred to current taxes payable.  We do not believe that any adjustment to taxable income in prior years resulting from this ruling will result in the payment of any interest or penalties.

Share-based compensation was $0.4 million in the first half of 2009, compared to $0.7 million in the same period in 2008.  As of June 30, 2009 the total unrecognized compensation related to restricted stock awards was $1.3 million to be recognized over 2.1 years.



Non-cash amortization expense of our acquired intangible assets was $1.9 million and $1.0 million in the first half of 2009 and 2008, respectively.  We anticipate that non-cash expense for the amortization of intangible assets will be approximately $0.8 million in the third quarter of 2009 and $0.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2009 due to intangible assets acquired in previous years becoming fully amortized.

Pension expense was $0.8 million for the first half of 2009 compared to pension income of $0.6 million in the same period in 2008.  The increase in expense was due to the decline in plan asset performance in 2008.  We will be required to make contributions totaling $3.7 million by September 15, 2010, of which $0.6 million would be required in 2009.  We are considering the benefits and costs related to electing to accelerate up to $2 million in payments in the third quarter of 2009.

Investing activities

Net cash used in investing activities was $4.9 million and $0.7 million in the first half of 2009 and 2008, respectively. The net cash used in 2009 was primarily comprised of additional consideration paid as part of the Kadix acquisition.  Net cash used also consisted of capital expenditures of $0.8 million in the first half of 2009 and 2008. Net cash used in investing activities in the first quarter of 2008 was partially offset by proceeds from the sale of investments and dividends received from HMRTech. We expect capital expenditures in the range of $6 million to $7 million in 2009.

Financing activities

Net cash used in financing activities was $3.7 million and $6.7 million in the first half of 2009 and 2008, respectively. The amount of cash used in 2009 primarily represents payments under our term loan of $4.0 million partially offset by $0.3 million of proceeds from the issuance of common stock through employee stock purchase plan transactions.  The amount of cash used in 2008 represents net payments under our then existing revolving credit agreement of $7.1 million partially offset by $0.4 million of proceeds from the issuance of common stock through the exercises of stock options and employee stock purchase plan transactions.

The average daily borrowing on our revolver for the first half of 2009 was $0.4 million at an interest rate of 3.25%, compared to an average daily borrowing of $6.0 million at a weighted average interest rate of 5.47% in the first half of 2008.  The average interest rate of our combined term loan interest rate and swap agreement interest rate was 4.41% for the first half of 2009.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

A description of recent accounting pronouncements are referenced in Note 2 of our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of this Form 10-Q.

Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We are subject to interest rate risk associated with our term loan and revolver, where interest payments are tied to either the LIBOR or prime rate.  The interest rate at June 30, 2009 on our $34 million term loan was 3.22%. The interest rate on our swap agreement effectively fixes the interest rate on half of our outstanding term loan at 3.60% (excluding the applicable margin of 2.00%). At any time, a sharp rise in interest rates could have an adverse effect on net interest expense as reported in our Consolidated Statements of Operations. Our potential loss over one year that would result in a hypothetical and instantaneous increase of one full percentage point in the interest rate on half of our term loan would increase annual interest expense by approximately $0.2 million.

In addition, historically our investment positions have been relatively small and short-term in nature.  We typically invest excess cash in money market accounts with original maturities of three months or less with no exposure to market interest rates. We have no significant exposure to foreign currency fluctuations. Foreign sales, which are nominal, are primarily denominated in U.S. dollars.



Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

The Company’s principal executive officer (“CEO”) and principal financial officer (“CFO”) evaluated, together with other members of senior management, the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of June 30, 2009; and, based on this review, the Company’s CEO and CFO concluded that, as of June 30, 2009, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by it in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (i) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the Company’s CEO and CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
 
There has been no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)) during the quarterly period ended June 30, 2009 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.  During the quarter ended June 30, 2009, the Company completed integration activities related to the acquired Kadix operations, and as a result management’s assessment of internal control for the year ended December 31, 2009 will include the acquired operations.   
 
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

As a defense contractor, we are subject to many levels of audit and review from various government agencies, including the Defense Contract Audit Agency, various inspectors general, the Defense Criminal Investigation Service, the Government Accountability Office, the Department of Justice and Congressional Committees. Both related to and unrelated to our defense industry involvement, we are, from time to time, involved in audits, lawsuits, claims, administrative proceedings and investigations. We accrue for liabilities associated with these activities when it becomes probable that future expenditures will be made and such expenditures can be reasonably estimated. We are a party to or have property subject to litigation and other proceedings referenced in Note 14 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Form 10-Q and in Note 13 of our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008. Our evaluation of the likelihood of expenditures related to these matters is subject to change in future periods, depending on then current events and circumstances, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
