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” or “DRC”) 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, 2011 may not be indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2011. 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, 2010.
 
NOTE 2.  RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2011-04, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs. ASU 2011-04 clarifies some existing concepts, eliminates wording differences between United States generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”), and in some limited cases, changes some principles to achieve convergence between U.S. GAAP and IFRS. ASU 2011-04 results in a consistent definition of fair value and common requirements for measurement of and disclosure about fair value between U.S. GAAP and IFRS. ASU 2011-04 also expands the disclosures for fair value measurements that are estimated using significant unobservable (Level 3) inputs. ASU 2011-04 will be effective for the Company beginning after December 15, 2011. The adoption of ASU 2011-04 is presentation and disclosure related and therefore will not have an effect on operating results or financial position.
 
In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-05, Presentation of Comprehensive Income, which requires an entity to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income, or in two separate but consecutive statements. ASU 2011-05 eliminates the option to present components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of equity. ASU 2011-05 will be effective for the Company beginning after December 15, 2011. The adoption of ASU 2011-05 is presentation and disclosure related and therefore will not have an effect on operating results or financial position.

NOTE 3.  BUSINESS ACQUISITION

On June 30, 2011, the Company completed the merger for 100% of the outstanding shares of High Performance Technologies, Inc. ("HPTi") for $143 million in cash.  HPTi is a leading provider of high-end technology services to the federal healthcare and military technology markets. The merger strengthens and expands the Company’s market presence as a provider of high-end services and solutions in the federal market.

The fair value of the working capital adjustments and acquired identifiable intangible assets from the HPTi merger is provisional pending completion of the final valuations for those assets. The fair value and gross contractual amount of contract receivables acquired from the HPTi merger was $22.0 million, of which all is substantially expected to be collected.
 
The goodwill arising from the HPTi merger consists largely of the synergies and economies of scale expected from combining the operations of the Company and HPTi.  The parties have elected to treat the transaction as an asset purchase for tax purposes.  As a result, all of the goodwill and intangible assets related to the HPTi merger will be tax deductible over a 15 year period.
 
The following pro forma results of operations have been prepared as though the merger of HPTi had occurred on January 1, 2010. These pro forma results include adjustments for interest expense and amortization of deferred financing costs on the term loan used to finance the transaction, amortization expense for the identifiable intangible asset determined in the preliminary independent appraisal and the effect of income taxes. These pro forma results include certain nonrecurring costs HPTi paid at the closing of the sale, including the payout for the acceleration of stock compensation costs, professional fees related to the merger and discretionary bonuses.  This pro forma information does not purport to be indicative of the results of operations that would have been attained had the merger been made as of January 1, 2010, or of results of operations that may occur in the future.

The Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) had challenged 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.  During September 2009, the IRS completed its examination of the Company’s tax returns for 2004 through 2007 and issued a Revenue Agent Report (“RAR”), which reduced the deferral of income for tax reporting purposes.  As a result the Company reclassified approximately $1.0 million from deferred to current taxes payable.  The RAR also included an assessment of interest of $0.5 million. The Company has filed a protest letter with the IRS to appeal the assessment.  The Company believes the appeal will be successful and has made no provision for the interest associated with the assessment.  The IRS has also initiated an exam of the 2009 tax year which is in the information gathering stage.

NOTE 8. FINANCING ARRANGEMENTS
 
On June 30, 2011, the Company entered into a new secured credit agreement (“new credit agreement”) with a $110 million five-year term loan (“new term loan”) and a $20 million revolving loan (“new revolver”), and entered into a $40 million unsecured senior subordinated loan agreement (“subordinated loan”) with a six-year term.  The new credit agreement replaces the Company’s previous credit agreement and is led by Bank of America and includes SunTrust Bank and PNC Bank as Lead Arrangers.  The financing of the subordinated loan was provided by Ares Mezzanine Partners, L.P.  The new credit agreement is secured by substantially all of the Company’s assets.
 
The new term loan requires quarterly principal payments of $2.8 million, commencing September 30, 2011 and increasing to $3.5 million beginning September 30, 2012 and $4.1 million beginning September 30, 2013 with the remaining principal due on June 30, 2016, the maturity of the new credit agreement. The Company is also required to make additional principal payments on the new term loan based on certain events, if any, such as excess cash flow payments (commencing for the year ended December 31, 2012), proceeds from disposition of assets, equity issuances, debt issuances and extraordinary receipts.  The Company may prepay principal on the new term loan without penalty.
 
The Company has the option of selecting an interest rate for the new term loan and new revolver equal to either: (a) the then applicable LIBOR rate plus 3.00% to 4.00% per annum, depending on the Company’s most recently reported leverage ratio of total debt-to-EBITDA (currently 4.00 to 1.0); or (b) the base rate as announced from time to time by the administrative agent plus 2.00% to 3.00% per annum, depending on the Company’s most recently reported leverage ratio debt-to-EBITDA (currently 3.00 to 1.0). For those portions of the new term loan and new revolver accruing at the LIBOR rate, the Company has the option of selecting interest periods of 30, 60, 90 or 180 days. 
 
The outstanding principal amount on the subordinated loan is due and payable on June 30, 2017, the maturity of the loan.  A prepayment penalty will be imposed if any of the principal amount is paid on or before June 30, 2016.  The interest rate on the subordinated loan is 13% per annum and is paid quarterly commencing on September 30, 2011.  At the Company’s option, the amount of interest due representing up to 1% of the 13% may be used to increase the outstanding subordinated loan balance in lieu of cash payment.
 
On an ongoing basis, both agreements require the Company to meet certain financial covenants, including maintaining a minimum net worth and certain cash flow and debt coverage ratios. The covenants also limit the Company’s ability to incur additional debt, pay dividends, purchase capital assets, sell or dispose of assets, make additional acquisitions or investments, or enter into new leases, among other restrictions. In addition, the agreements provide that payment of all unpaid principal and all accrued and unpaid interest may be accelerated upon the occurrence and continuance of certain events of default.  At June 30, 2011, the Company was in compliance with its loan covenants.

The terms of the agreements are more fully described in the Credit Agreement and the Senior Subordinated Loan Agreement, both dated June 30, 2011, filed as Exhibit 10.1 and Exhibit 10.3, respectively, to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on July 6, 2011.
 
The Company used the entire proceeds of the new term loan and subordinated loan to fund the merger of HPTi and pay off the remaining $20 million balance on the Company’s previous term loan.  The Company paid $6.0 million in loan origination fees and $1.9 million in deferred financing costs associated with the new financing arrangements.  The loan origination fees and deferred financing costs will be amortized over the maturity of the loan agreements and were recorded as a contra account in long-term debt and other noncurrent assets, respectively.
 
Additionally, the Company incurred a charge of $0.3 million for the termination of the interest rate swap that was tied to our previous term loan, and $0.2 million for the write-off of deferred financing costs associated with our previous credit facility, which was accounted for as an extinguishment of debt.  The combined total charge of $0.5 million was recorded as interest expense.
 
The Company’s outstanding debt at June 30, 2011 was $144.0 million, which consisted of the outstanding balance of the new term loan and subordinated loan, net of loan origination fees, and $22.0 million at December 31, 2010 which consisted of an outstanding balance under our previous term loan.  The interest rate of the term loan at June 30, 2011 was 6.25%, based on the base rate that was in effect at June 30, 2011, and the interest rate for the subordinated loan was 13.00%.  The interest rate of the existing term loan at December 31, 2010 was 1.79% based on the 90-day LIBOR rate option.
 
Contractual principal payments are due as follows: $5.5 million for the remainder of 2011, $12.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2012, $15.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2013, $16.5 million for years ended December 31, 2014 and 2015, $44 million for the year ended December 31, 2016 and $40 million for the year ended December 31, 2017.  At June 30, 2011, the remaining available balance to borrow against the new revolver was $19.4 million.

NOTE 9. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

As noted above, the Company incurred a charge of $0.3 million for the termination of the interest rate swap that was tied to our previous term loan.  Under the previous interest rate swap agreement, the Company received a floating rate based on the 90-day LIBOR rate and paid a fixed rate of 3.60% (both excluding the applicable margin) on the outstanding notional amount.   The fair value of the swap at December 31, 2010 was $0.5 million and was recorded in other long-term liabilities and was designated as a cash flow hedge.
 
The amount recognized in other comprehensive income was as follows:

The new credit agreement requires the Company, by September 30, 2011, to secure interest rate protection in an amount not less than fifty percent of the outstanding principal balance of the new term loan.

  $ -     $ 467     $ -     $ 467  

The following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for these items, as well as the general classification of such items:
 
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 was a receive-variable, pay-fixed interest rate swap based on the LIBOR rate and was designated as a cash flow hedge. 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.
 
The carrying values of other cash and cash equivalents, contract receivables and accounts payable approximate fair value because of the short-term nature of these instruments.  The carrying value of debt also approximates fair value due to the agreements being entered into on June 30, 2011.

The total fair value of restricted shares vested during the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 was $0.4 million and $0.2 million, respectively. As of June 30, 2011, the total unrecognized compensation cost related to restricted stock awards was $0.9 million, which is expected to be amortized over a weighted-average period of 2.2 years.

NOTE 13. EARNINGS PER SHARE

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, basic earnings per share are computed by dividing net income 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, 2011 and 2010, diluted earnings per share are determined by using the weighted average number of common and dilutive common equivalent shares outstanding during the period.  Due to the anti-dilutive effect, approximately 86,500 options to purchase common stock were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 92,000 options for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 were excluded.

NOTE 15. 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.
 
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. In July 2010, the Company and the plaintiffs agreed upon principle terms of settlement, the cost of which was accrued on the balance sheet as of June 30, 2010. In October 2010, the Company received an executed settlement agreement by the plaintiffs. The Federal District Court for the First Circuit reviewed the settlement and on March 4, 2011 approved the settlement. The Federal Court thirty day appeal period for challenges to the settlement expired on April 4, 2011, with no appeals filed. The parties have proceeded to implement the terms of the class action settlement.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read together with the consolidated financial statements and the notes to those statements that appear elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities Exchange Commission on February 28, 2011.
 
Some of the statements in the section entitled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations”, and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on 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 DRC that are based on our 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.  Such statements are subject to factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from anticipated results.  Such factors include but are not limited to, the following:
 
 
·
Our dependency on the Federal government and changes in federal spending priorities;
 
·
A shift in pricing structure for government contracts;
 
·
An increased focus on the elimination of overhead within the Department of Defense;
 
·
Failure to obtain new government contracts or retain existing contracts;
 
·
The effect of Federal government in-sourcing on our business;
 
·
The loss of skilled personnel;
 
·
The risk of security breaches in systems we develop, install or maintain;
 
·
Failure by Congress to timely approve budgets governing spending by Federal agencies;
 
·
Risks due to government contract provisions providing for rights unfavorable to us, including the ability to terminate contracts at any time for convenience;
 
·
Potential systems or service failures that could result in liability to our company;
 
·
Failure to obtain or maintain necessary security clearances;
 
·
Risks associated with various, complex Federal government procurement laws and regulations;
 
·
Adverse effects in the event of an unfavorable Federal audit of our contracts;
 
·
Failure to adequately safeguard confidential information;
 
·
An adverse outcome related to ongoing legal proceedings;
 
·
Competitive conditions in current markets and difficulties in entering new markets;
 
·
Our ability to maintain sufficient sources of financing and the risk that our financing requirements should increase;
 
·
Acquired operations, including High Performance Technologies, Inc (“HPTi”) may perform at levels below our financial expectations, or we may be unable to successfully integrate acquired operations; and
 
·
Our substantial investment in goodwill may become impaired requiring write downs, which could significantly reduce operating income.
 
·
Issuances of our securities are subject to federal and state securities laws, and certain holders of common stock issued by us may be entitled to rescind their purchases. Approximately 148,000 shares issued through the Company's employee stock purchase plan between July 2007 and May 2011, at purchase prices ranging from $ 6.63 to $14.12 per share, were not registered under the federal securities law.  The Company intends to offer to repurchase the approximately 119,000 shares that continue to be held by the original purchasers.
  
These and other risk factors are more fully described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 under the section entitled “Risk Factors”, and from time to time, in other filings with the SEC.  Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this document.  Actual results may differ materially and adversely from those expressed in any forward-looking statements.  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.

OVERVIEW

Dynamics Research Corporation, headquartered in Andover, Massachusetts, is a leading provider of innovative management consulting, engineering, and information technology services and solutions to federal and state governments.
 
Our go-to-market strategy is sharply focused within each of four dimensions:

·
Solutions.  We deliver high-value differentiated solutions to our clients.  Our five areas of differentiated expertise are business transformation, information technology, training and performance support, management services and science and engineering services.  We believe our solutions align well with the needs of our government customers today through improved efficiencies and effectiveness, procurement reform, transformational and technology based changes, and ongoing, changing security threats.

·
Markets and Customers.  We target markets, which based on long-term market force drivers, have sustained government projected demand for services.  We select customers from the spectrum of federal government departments and agencies in our target growth markets with needs that well match the solutions we provide.  Currently our target growth markets include homeland security, healthcare, cyber security, intelligence and financial/regulatory reform.  In 2010, approximately 60% of our revenue was derived from clients in these markets and selected high growth areas of defense such as unmanned aerial systems and force readiness and training. Our 2010 revenue derived from these markets grew 12% over 2009.

·
Prime Government and Agency-Wide Contracts.  We hold an enviable portfolio of government and agency-wide multiple award schedule ID/IQ task order contracts.  Today, these types of contracts are the federal government’s preferred means of procurement for services.

·
Acquisitions.  We use acquisitions, funded through both operationally generated cash and leverage, to strengthen our position in our target growth markets.

On June 30, 2011, we completed a merger with HPTi for $143.0 million in cash.  HPTi is a leading provider of high-end technology services to the federal government, primarily in the healthcare and military technology markets. The merger strengthens and expands DRC’s market presence as a provider of high-end services and solutions in the federal market.
 
HPTi revenues were $19.7 million, $21.0 million, $25.1 million and $24.7 million for the three month periods ended March 31, 2010, June 30, 2010, September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2010, respectively.  With $90.5 million in 2010 revenue, the merger with HPTi will have significant impacts on our financial statements going forward, including significantly higher revenues, costs, amortization expense, interest expense, assets, liabilities and debt.  See notes 3, 6 and 8 to the financial statements for additional information.

Revenues

We reported total revenue of $68.5 million and $65.3 million in the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Total revenues for the second quarter of 2011 represent an increase of $3.2 million, or 4.8%, from the same period in 2010.  Total revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 were $138.0 million and $133.9 million, respectively, an increase of $4.1 million, or 3.1%.

Total revenue from federal agencies does not add due to rounding.

The increase in our revenues from federal agencies in the second quarter of 2011 was primarily due to contracts awarded to us in 2010 in our healthcare and intelligence target growth markets.  This increase was partially offset by the loss of 81 and 33 employees in-sourced in 2010 and the first half of 2011, respectively.  Other than one FEMA program in the third quarter of 2010, which substantially accounts for the year-over year decline in Homeland Security revenues, we have experienced minimal in-sourcing outside of Defense, and we anticipate an abatement of Department of Defense in-sourcing activities going forward.
 
Revenues from state and local government agencies declined in the second quarter of 2011 compared to the same period in 2010 due to the deployment of the State of Tennessee child welfare system contract in September 2010.  Revenues from our State of Tennessee contract were $0.3 million and $2.0 million in the second quarter of 2011 and 2010, respectively, and $0.5 million and $4.4 million, respectively, in the first half then ended.

Backlog:

 (2)
Total backlog includes $478.8 million from HPTi


 
22

 



We expect that substantially all of our funded backlog at June 30, 2011 will generate revenue during the subsequent twelve month period. The funded backlog generally is subject to possible termination at the convenience of the contracting party. Contracts are typically funded on an annual basis or incrementally for shorter time periods. The funded backlog as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 covered approximately 5.0 months and 5.7 months of revenue, respectively. Funded bookings were $54.7 million and $46.6 million in the three-month period ended June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively, and generated a book-to-bill ratio of approximately 0.8 to 1 and 0.7 to 1 for each respective period.

Gross Profit

Total gross profit was $10.4 million and $10.2 million for the second quarter of 2011 and 2010, respectively, resulting in a gross margin of 15.2% and 15.6%, respectively.  For the first half of 2011 and 2010, gross profit was $21.2 million and $21.0 million, respectively, resulting in a gross margin of 15.4% and 15.6%, respectively.  The decrease in the gross margin was primarily a result of an increased portion of our revenue being derived from the use of subcontracted services.

Selling, general and administrative expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $6.8 million and $5.1 million in the second quarter of 2011 and 2010, respectively, and $12.5 million and $11.0 million, respectively, in the first half then ended. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percent of total revenue in the second quarter of 2011 and 2010 were 9.9% and 7.8%, respectively, and 9.0% and 8.2% in the first half then ended. Selling, general and administrative expenses in the second quarter of 2011 included transaction-related costs of $1.7 million.

Amortization of intangible assets

Amortization expense was $0.4 million in the second quarter of 2011 and 2010 and $0.7 million and $0.8 million in the first half of 2011 and 2010, respectively.  Amortization expense for the second half of 2011 is estimated to be in the range of $3.0 million to $3.2 million.  For 2012, amortization expense is estimated to be in the range of $4.0 million to $4.3 million.

Interest expense, net

Net interest expense was $0.8 million and $0.4 million in the second quarter of 2011 and 2010, respectively, and $1.0 million and $0.7 million, respectively, for the first half then ended.  The increase in interest expense was primarily due to the payoff of the interest rate swap and the write off of deferred financing costs totaling $0.5 million.  For the second half of 2011, we estimate total interest expense to be in the vicinity of $6.0 million.

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 (benefit)

We recorded income tax provisions of $1.1 million and $1.8 million in the second quarter of 2011 and 2010, respectively, and $3.0 million and $3.2 million, respectively, for the first half then ended.  The effective income tax rate was 41.7% and 37.4% in the first half of 2011 and 2010, respectively.  We recorded a refund of $0.3 million in the first quarter of 2010 related to 2003 tax deductions.  Absent the refund, the Company’s effective tax rate in the first half of 2010 was 40.3%.

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 agreement.
 
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.
 
We have 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 our credit lines are expected to be sufficient in 2011 to service debt, finance capital expenditures, 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 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.
 
With the acquisition of HPTi, we have utilized our access to capital resources to acquire a business, which aligns with our growth strategy.  In the long-term, we believe that selective acquisitions are an important component of our growth strategy and we may acquire, from time to time, businesses or contracts that are aligned with our core capabilities and which complement our customer base.
 
At June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, we had cash and cash equivalents aggregating $8.6 million and $30.2 million, respectively.

Operating activities

Net contract receivables were $77.9 million at June 30, 2011, of which $22.0 million related to HPTi and $48.4 million at December 31, 2010.  Billed receivables increased $14.0 million in the first half of 2011, of which $10.2 million related to HPTi and unbilled receivables increased $15.3 million in the first half of 2011, of which $11.9 related to HPTi.
 
Contract receivable days sales outstanding (“DSO”), excluding HPTi, was 73 days at June 30, 2011 compared to 62 days at December 31, 2010.  Federal business DSO, which excludes the effect of our state contracts, was 63 days at June 30, 2011 compared to 55 days at December 31, 2010. The increase in contract receivables and DSO was a result of funding delays related to the continuing resolution and delayed billing rate approval, which was received in February and impacted our ability to invoice and collect the corresponding receivables on cost type contracts.
 
Our net deferred tax liability was $2.9 million and $1.8 million at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.  The increase in the deferred tax liability was primarily due to changes in employee share-based compensation and adjustments for pension liabilities and deferred compensation plans.  During the first half of 2011, we paid $2.2 million in income taxes and currently anticipate additional income tax payments of $1.1 million in the second half of 2011.
 
The IRS has challenged the deferral of income for tax reporting purposes related to unbilled receivables including the applicability of a Letter Ruling issued by the IRS to DRC in January 1976 which granted 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.  During September 2009, the IRS completed its examination of our tax returns for 2004 through 2007 and issued a Revenue Agent Report, which reduced the deferral of income for tax reporting purposes.  As a result

 
24

 



we reclassified approximately $1 million from deferred to current taxes payable.  The IRS report also included an assessment of interest of $0.5 million. We have filed a protest with the IRS to appeal the assessment.  We believe the appeal will be successful and have therefore made no provision for the interest associated with the assessment. The IRS has also initiated an exam of the 2009 tax year which is in the information gathering stage.
 
Share-based compensation was $0.3 million and $0.4 million in the first half of 2011 and 2010, respectively.  As of June 30, 2011 the total unrecognized compensation related to restricted stock awards was $0.9 million to be recognized over 2.2 years, and the unrecognized compensation expense related to stock option awards was $0.2 million which is expected to be amortized over approximately 2 years.
 
Non-cash amortization expense of our acquired intangible assets was $0.7 million and $0.8 million in the first half of 2011 and 2010, respectively.  Due to the merger of HPTi, we anticipate that non-cash expense for the amortization of intangible assets for the second half of 2011 will be in the range of $3.0 million to $3.2 million.
 
During the first half of 2011, we contributed $3.9 million to fund the pension plan and anticipate pension expense to be approximately $0.2 million in 2011.
 
Investing activities

The net cash used in investing activities from continuing operations of $143.6 million and $3.2 million in the first half of 2011 and 2010, respectively.  The cash used in the first half of 2011 was primarily for the merger of HPTi.  Capital expenditures for the first half of 2010 were primarily used for expenditures related to the relocation of our headquarter facilities.  We anticipate capital expenditures to be approximately $3 million in 2011.

Financing activities

In December 2010, DRC’s board of directors authorized a share repurchase program, which allowed us to buy back up to 700,000 shares of our common stock through June 6, 2011.  During the first half of 2011, we repurchased 20,728 shares at a weighted average price of $14.97.  The timing, price and amount of any repurchase was determined by management based on its evaluation of market conditions and other factors.  These repurchases were made through the open market, including block purchases, or in private negotiated transactions, or otherwise.  The buyback was funded through available cash balances and or borrowings.
 
Concurrent with the merger of HPTi, we replaced our existing credit facility with a new secured credit facility with a $110 million five-year term loan and a $20 million revolving credit facility, and entered into a $40 million unsecured senior subordinated facility with a six-year term.  
 
For the next twelve months, our new term loan requires quarterly repayments of $2.75 million and we expect operating cash flows to be sufficient to fund these repayments.  At June 30, 2011, the borrowing capacity available under our revolver was $19.4 million.
 
At June 30, 2011, we were in compliance with our loan covenants.  Our most stringent financial covenant is the fixed charge coverage ratio.  This covenant requires us to maintain a ratio of adjusted consolidated EBITDA to adjusted consolidated interest expense of not less than 1.25 to 1.00.  This fixed charge coverage ratio is tested on a quarterly basis and is measured on a trailing four fiscal quarter basis.
 
We believe we have access to additional capital resources, from the use of debt or equity, as alternate sources of funding.  We are confident that our current resources are sufficient and we believe the possibility of needing additional financing resources for the continuation of current operations is remote.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $122.1 million in the first half of 2011. During the first half of 2011, we borrowed $144.0 million, net of fees, repaid $22.0 million on our previous term loan and paid $1.9 million in deferred financing costs.  The $4.9 million of cash used for financing activities in the first half of 2010 was primarily for payments of $4.0 million under our then existing term loan and $2.0 million on our then existing revolver.
 
In the first half of 2011 and 2010, the average interest rate of our previous term loan and swap agreement was 3.45% and 3.94%, respectively. The average daily borrowing on our revolver for the first half of 2010 was $2.0 million at an interest rate of 3.25%.  The average combined effective borrowing rate on the $150 million outstanding debt at June 30, 2011 was 8.05%.  The new credit agreement requires us, by September 30, 2011, to secure interest rate protection in an amount not less than fifty percent of the outstanding principal balance of the new term loan.
 
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, and our subordinated loan where the interest rate is fixed at 13.00%. On June 30, 2011, the interest rate on our $110 million outstanding term loan was 6.25%. The credit facility requires us to enter into an interest rate swap by September 30, 2011 on half of our term loan.  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 our term loan would increase annual interest expense by approximately $1.1 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.

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, 2011; and, based on this review, the Company’s CEO and CFO concluded that, as of June 30, 2011, 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, 2011 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
