DYNAMICS RESEARCH CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
(dollars in thousands, except per share amounts)
NOTE 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND RESTATEMENT
     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.
     On January 1, 2007, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (“FIN 48”). There was no transition adjustment required due to the adoption of FIN 48 (See Note 7 for additional information).
     The Company has restated its consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2006 and 2005 to correct certain tax liabilities, which resulted in an increase in stockholders’ equity of $549. The restatement reflects corrections in the measurement of deferred income tax liabilities relating to property and equipment. The principal corrections pre-date all periods reported in the Company’s financial statements, as a result the related financial statement effects are immaterial to the statements of operations for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2006. A summary of the aggregate effect of the restatement on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2006 presented herein is shown below.
                 
    As of December 31, 2006
    Previously   As
    Reported   Restated
Changes to Consolidated Balance Sheet:
               
Deferred income taxes
  $ 11,698     $ 9,864  
Other accrued expenses
  $ 3,916     $ 5,201  
Total current liabilities
  $ 48,282     $ 47,733  
Total liabilities
  $ 76,087     $ 75,538  
Retained earnings
  $ 44,396     $ 44,945  
Total stockholders’ equity
  $ 83,765     $ 84,314  
     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 of the three months ended March 31, 2007 may not be indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2007. The accompanying financial information should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company’s Form 10-K, filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for the year ended December 31, 2006.
NOTE 2. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
     In February 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities — Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115”, (“SFAS 159”). SFAS 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The objective is to improve financial reporting by providing entities with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. SFAS 159 is effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning January 1, 2008. The Company is currently evaluating whether it will elect the option provided for in this standard, and whether the adoption will have an impact on its financial statements.
     In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS 157”). SFAS 157 clarifies the principle that fair value should be based on the assumptions market participants would use when pricing an asset or liability and establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the information used to develop those assumptions. Under the standard, fair value measurements would be separately disclosed by level within the fair value hierarchy. SFAS 157 is effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning January 1, 2008, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of SFAS 157 will have on its financial statements.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
(dollars in thousands, except per share amounts)
     In July 2006, the FASB issued FIN 48 which sets standards for the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprises’ financial statements in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes”. FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attributable for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 also provides guidance on accounting for tax liability derecognition, classification, interest and penalty recognition, accounting in interim periods, disclosures and transitions. FIN 48 was effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning January 1, 2007. The impact on the Company’s financial statements from the adoption of FIN 48 is described in Note 7.
NOTE 3. SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY
     Earnings Per Share
     Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share are determined by using the weighted average number of common and dilutive common equivalent shares outstanding during the period.
     Restricted shares of common stock that vest based on the satisfaction of certain conditions are treated as contingently issuable shares until the conditions are satisfied. Unvested restricted shares are excluded from the basic earnings per share calculation but are included in the diluted earnings per share calculation.
     Due to their anti-dilutive effect, approximately 89,000 and 93,000 options to purchase common stock were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. However, these options could become dilutive in future periods.
     The following table illustrates the reconciliation of the weighted average shares outstanding:
                 
    Three Months Ended  
    March 31,  
    2007     2006  
Weighted average shares outstanding — Basic
    9,256,566       9,012,706  
Diluted effect of stock options and restricted stock grants
    250,880       383,938  
 
           
Weighted average shares outstanding — Diluted
    9,507,446       9,396,644  
 
           
     Comprehensive Income
     The components of comprehensive income for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 consisted solely of net income of $1,123 and $1,474, respectively.
NOTE 4. SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION
     Total share-based compensation recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations was as follows:

     During 2005, the Company realigned its approach to share-based compensation by increasing the issuance of restricted stock awards and reducing the issuance of stock options. As a result, no stock options were awarded during the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006. Also, during the fourth quarter of 2006, the Company’s Board of Directors approved an amendment to eliminate the “look-back” option and to reduce the stock purchase discount from 15% to 5% under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”) effective November 1, 2006. Under SFAS 123R, this amendment results in the Company accounting for shares purchased in connection with the ESPP as non-compensatory as of the effective date. The fair value of purchases made under the ESPP during the three months ended March 31, 2006 were estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model as of the date of purchase using the following weighted average assumptions: risk-free rate of 3.96%; dividend yield of zero; volatility of 35.07%; and expected life of three months.

NOTE 6. GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS
     The Company’s identifiable intangible assets consisted of only customer relationships as of March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006. The carrying cost of customer relationships for both periods was $12,800, offset by an accumulated amortization balance of $7,779 and $7,129 as of March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively. The Company recorded amortization expense for its identifiable intangible assets of $650 and $702 for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Amortization expense on the Company’s identifiable intangible assets for their remaining useful lives is as follows:
         
Remainder of 2007
  $ 1,952  
2008
  $ 2,038  
2009
  $ 1,031  
     There were no changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for the three months ended March 31, 2007. The carrying amount of goodwill of $63,055 at March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006 was included in the Systems and Services segment.
NOTE 7. INCOME TAXES
     For the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, the effective income tax rate was 42.3% and 42.2%, respectively, compared to 40.6% for the year ended December 31, 2006. The 2006 year end tax rate reflects favorable state income tax audits and tax credits and adjustment of tax accruals and reserves.
     On January 1, 2007, the Company adopted the provisions of FIN 48. The implementation of FIN 48 did not have a material impact on the amount of the Company’s tax liability for unrecognized tax benefits. As of the date of adoption, the Company had approximately $300 of unrecognized tax benefits, of which $100 would affect its effective tax rate if recognized. Interest costs and penalties related to uncertain tax positions continue to be classified as net interest expense and selling, general and administrative costs, respectively, in the Company’s financial statements. As of the date of adoption, the Company had approximately $89 of accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits.

NOTE 9. FINANCING ARRANGEMENTS
     The Company’s outstanding debt at March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006 was $24,900 and $15,000, respectively, which consisted of net borrowings against the Company’s $50 million revolving credit facility (“Revolver”). The weighted average interest rate on $17,000 of the outstanding balance at March 31, 2007 was 6.84% based on 30, 60 and 90-day LIBOR options elected during the first quarter. The interest rate on the remaining $7,900 outstanding balance at March 31, 2007 was 8.25% based on a base rate option that was in effect on March 31, 2007. The interest rate on the outstanding balance at December 31, 2006 was 6.87% based on the 90-day LIBOR option elected on October 5, 2006. Borrowings under the Revolver have been classified as a long-term liability. The repayment of borrowings under the Revolver is contractually due on September 29, 2009; however, the Company may repay at any time prior to that date. The Company was in compliance with its debt covenants at March 31, 2007.

NOTE 11. 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 October 26, 2000, two former Company employees were indicted and charged with conspiracy to defraud the U.S. Air Force, and wire fraud, among other charges, arising out of a scheme to defraud the U.S. out of approximately $10 million. Both men subsequently pled guilty to the principal charges against them. On October 9, 2003, the U.S. Attorney filed a civil complaint in the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts against the Company based in substantial part upon the actions and omissions of the former employees that gave rise to the criminal cases against them. In the civil action, the U.S. Attorney is asserting claims against the Company, which are not additive, based on the False Claims Act, the Anti-Kickback Act, or Breach of Contract for which the government

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
(dollars in thousands, except per share amounts)
estimates damages at approximately $24 million, $20 million and $10 million, respectively. The U.S. Attorney is also seeking recovery on certain common law claims, costs, equitable claims, and interest on Breach of Contract damages. On February 14, 2007, the U.S. Attorney filed a motion for summary judgment as to liability and as to damages in this matter. The court, in the ordinary course, is expected to rule by the end of 2007. The Company filed a motion, which was granted in part, to compel further discovery. The Company has filed an opposition to the government’s motion which includes substantive defenses. While there can be no assurance as to the ultimate disposition of this case, the Company considers it to be probable that the court may grant summary judgment as to the Breach of Contract liability claim and more likely than not, but not probable, that the court may grant summary judgment as to the False Claims Act liability claim. For the claim that management believes an unfavorable outcome is probable, the Company has recognized its estimated liability. The Company believes, however, that it is unlikely the court would grant summary judgment as to the government’s claim of damages, in which circumstance the case would proceed to trial as to damages. If, upon conclusion of summary judgment, liability claims are entered against the Company, the Company estimates that it would become liable for repayment of certain contract billings and penalties that together are expected to range from approximately $181 to $1.75 million, excluding the outcome as to damages. Regarding the alleged actual damages, the Company believes that it has substantive defenses and intends to vigorously defend itself. The Company presently has insufficient information to quantify potential actual damages, if any. As a result, the ultimate outcome of the litigation as to damages remains indeterminate. If an unfavorable determination is rendered, the outcome would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
     The Company has provided documents in response to a previously disclosed grand jury subpoena issued on October 15, 2002 by the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts, directing the Company to produce specified documents dating back to 1996. The subpoena relates to an investigation, currently focused on the period from 1996 to 1999, by the Antitrust Division of the Department of Justice in New York into the bidding and procurement activities involving the Company and several other defense contractors who have received similar subpoenas and may also be subjects of the investigation. On February 7, 2007, the Company learned that the Antitrust Division has communicated to the Department of Justice in Washington, D.C. the results of its investigation which have not been made available to the Company. The Company has cooperated in the investigation; however, it does not have a sufficient basis to predict the outcome of the investigation. Should the Company be found to have violated the antitrust laws, the matter could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
     On June 28, 2005, a suit, characterized as 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 Company believes that its practices complied with the Fair Labor Standards Act and Massachusetts General Laws. The Company intends to vigorously defend itself and has sought to have the complaint dismissed from District Court and addressed in accordance with the Company’s mandatory dispute resolution program for the arbitration of workplace complaints. 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 its mandatory dispute resolution program, directing that the parties arbitrate the aforementioned claims, and striking the class action waiver which was part of the dispute resolution program. Following the District Court’s decision, the plaintiffs commenced an arbitration before the American Arbitration Association, asserting the same claims as they asserted in the District Court. An arbitrator has been selected, but no substantive action has occurred in the arbitration. On January 26, 2007 the Company filed an appeal with the United States Court of Appeals for the First Circuit appealing the portion of the District Court’s decision that the class action waiver is not enforceable. The outcome of the arbitration, if unfavorable, could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial position, results of operations and 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.
OVERVIEW
     DRC, founded in 1955 and headquartered in Andover, Massachusetts, provides IT, engineering and other services focused on national defense and intelligence, public safety and citizen services for government customers. The government market is composed of three sectors: national defense and intelligence, federal civilian agencies, and state and local governments. Our core capabilities are focused on IT, engineering and technical subject matter expertise that pertain to the knowledge domains of our core customers.
     Recent industry reports, such as the Federal IT Market Forecast published by INPUT, Inc., are projecting long-term growth rates in demand by the federal government for professional services of approximately 5%. These estimates are, in general, lower than those made a year ago. We are cognizant of funding challenges facing the federal government and the resulting increase in competitiveness in our industry. Significant contract awards have been and will continue to be delayed and new initiatives have been slow to start. Customers are moving away from General Services Administration and time and materials contracts toward agency sponsored Indefinite Delivery-Indefinite Quantity contract vehicles and fixed price contracts and task orders. The DoD seeks to reduce spending on contracted program support services, often referred to as advisory and assistance services, and frequently is setting this work aside for small businesses. Concurrently, there is increasing demand from federal customers for engineering, training, business transformation, lean six sigma and business intelligence solutions and services. Many federal customers are seeking to streamline their procurement activities by consolidating work under large contract vehicles. Our competitive strategy is intended to align with these trends.
     Operating income for the first quarter of 2007 was $2.5 million compared to $2.6 million for the same period in 2006. The operating margin for the first quarter of 2007 was 4.3% of total revenue, compared to 3.9% of total revenue for the same period in 2006. The increase in operating margin was primarily due to a favorable increase in total gross margin and lower indirect costs, which resulted from a variety of cost savings initiatives undertaken in 2006.
     We have two reportable business segments: Systems and Services, and Metrigraphics. The Systems and Services segment accounted for 98.5% of total revenue and the Metrigraphics segment accounted for 1.5% of total revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2007.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
     There are business risks specific to the industries in which we operate. These risks include, but are not limited to: 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. Consistent with prior year, we believe the following critical accounting policies affect the more significant judgments made and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements:
    Revenue recognition
 
    Goodwill and other intangible assets
 
    Income taxes and deferred taxes

14


Table of Contents

    Pension obligations
     Except for income taxes and deferred taxes, there have been no material changes from the methodology applied by management for critical accounting policies previously disclosed in our most recent Form 10-K. The methodology applied to management’s estimate for income taxes and deferred taxes has changed due to the implementation of a new accounting pronouncement as described below.
     Income Taxes and Deferred Taxes
     On January 1, 2007, we adopted FIN 48 which addresses the determination of how tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements. Under FIN 48, we must recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate resolution.
     The impact from our adoption of FIN 48 is more fully described in Note 7 in our “Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements” in Part I, Item 1 on this Form 10-Q. For further discussion of our critical accounting policy related to income taxes and deferred taxes, refer to the section titled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in Part II, Item 7 of our 2006 Form 10-K.

     National defense and intelligence agency revenues for the first quarter of 2007 were lower than the comparable period in 2006. Approximately $9 million of the change resulted from the transition into the new Consolidated Acquisition of Professional Services (“CAPS”) contract with the Aeronautical Systems Center (“ASC”) and the loss of the Air National Guard (“Guard”) contract in May 2006. Under the new CAPS contract structure, work performed by other contractor team members on these programs, which under the predecessor contract was passed through our revenue and cost of sales, is contracted directly between HMRTech/HJ Ford SBA JV and the subcontractor and no longer is included in our financial results.
     Revenues from federal civilian agencies increased primarily due to added revenues in the first quarter of 2007 from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation contract awarded in November 2006.
     Revenues from state and local government agencies decreased primarily due to lower revenues from our contract with the State of Ohio, under which a significant portion of the development work has been completed, partially offset by added revenues from our State of Colorado contract awarded in April 2006.
     Revenues by contract type as a percentage of Systems and Services revenues were as follows (in millions):

     Product Sales
     Product sales for our Metrigraphics segment were $0.9 million and $1.5 million in the first quarter of 2007 and 2006, respectively. The decrease from the prior year period was primarily due to a decrease in medical device sales.
     Funded Backlog
     Our funded backlog was $114.7 million at March 31, 2007, $92.9 million at December 31, 2006 and $144.2 million at March 31, 2006. We expect that substantially all of our backlog 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 generally funded on an annual basis or incrementally for shorter time periods.

Table of Contents

Due to current budgetary pressures, we have seen an increase in the application of incremental funding, thereby reducing backlog in proportion to revenue. A portion of our funded backlog is based on annual purchase contracts and subject to annual governmental approval or appropriations legislation and the amount of funded backlog as of any date can be affected by the timing of order receipts and deliveries.
Gross Profit
     Total gross profit was $8.7 million for the first quarter of 2007, compared to $10.0 million in the same period in 2006, resulting in a gross margin of 15.3% and 14.6% for the first quarters of 2007 and 2006, respectively.
     Our gross profit on contract revenue was $9.0 million and $9.8 million for the first quarter of 2007 and 2006, respectively. The decline in gross profit resulted in a gross margin of 16.1% and 14.7% in the first quarter of 2007 and 2006, respectively. The increase in gross margin was primarily attributable to the reduction in low margin subcontractor revenues resulting from the transition to the new CAPS contract noted above.
     Our gross loss on product sales was $0.3 million for the first quarter of 2007 compared to gross profit of $0.2 million for the comparable period in 2006. The decline in gross profit was primarily attributable to the decline in medical device sales. The gross margin loss in the first quarter of 2007 was 32.3% compared to a gross margin of 10.7% in the first quarter of 2006.
Selling, general and administrative expenses
     Selling, general and administrative expenses were $5.6 million and $6.6 million in the first quarter of 2007 and 2006, respectively. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percent of total revenue in the first quarter of 2007 and 2006 was 9.9% and 9.7%, respectively. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the first quarter of 2007 were lower than the same periods in 2006 as a result of cost savings initiatives undertaken in 2006.
Amortization of intangible assets
     Amortization expense was $0.7 million in each of the first quarters of 2007 and 2006. Amortization expense primarily relates to intangible assets acquired in our 2004 acquisition of Impact Innovations Group LLC and is included in the Systems and Services segment. The remaining amortization expense for the current fiscal year will be approximately $2.0 million.
Interest expense, net
     We incurred interest expense of $0.5 million and $0.6 million in the first quarter of 2007 and 2006, respectively. The decrease in interest expense in the first quarter of 2007 compared to the same period in 2006 was primarily due to a lower outstanding debt balance during the first quarter of 2007, partially offset by a higher average interest rate during the first quarter of 2007 compared to the same period in 2006.
Other income (expense), net
     We recorded net other income of $0.3 million in the first quarter of 2006. This amount included $0.2 million of realized gains resulting from the sale of Lucent Technologies, Inc. (“Lucent”) shares during that period. In accordance with the equity method of accounting, other income includes recognition of our portion of income or loss related to our investment in HMRTech and HMRTech/HJ Ford SBA JV. We recorded income related to these equity investments of $0.1 million in the first quarter of 2007, offset by a provision recorded for non-operating expense of $0.2 million. For the first quarter of 2006, our portion of income related to these equity investments was immaterial.
Income tax provision
     We recorded income tax provisions of $0.8 million, or 42.3% of pre-tax income, and $1.0 million, or 42.2% of pre-tax income, in the first quarter of 2007 and 2006, respectively, compared to 40.6% for the year ended December

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.
     Our results of operations, cash flows and financial condition are subject to certain 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.
     Based upon our present business plan and operating performance, we believe that cash provided by operating activities, combined with amounts available for borrowing under our revolving credit facility, will be adequate to fund the capital requirements of our existing operations during 2007 and for the foreseeable future. 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. However, the development of adverse economic or business conditions could significantly affect the need for and availability of capital resources.
     At March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, we had cash and cash equivalents aggregating $0.4 million and $7.9 million, respectively. The decrease in cash and cash equivalents is primarily the result of $17.3 million and $0.5 million of net cash used in operating and investing activities, respectively, partially offset by $10.4 million in net cash provided by financing activities.
     Operating activities
     Net cash used in operating activities totaled $17.3 million in the first quarter of 2007, compared to cash used of $1.6 million in the first quarter of 2006. The cash used in the first quarter of 2007 was primarily attributable to an increase in total receivables (including unbilled amounts) and a decrease in accounts payable, other long-term liabilities and deferred taxes. The cash used in the first quarter of 2006 was primarily attributable to cash used for accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued and prepaid expenses, partially offset by cash provided for unbilled expenditures.
     Total accounts receivable and unbilled expenditures and fees on contracts in process were $77.0 million and $64.4 million at March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively. Billed and unbilled accounts receivable increased $11.6 million and $1.0 million, respectively, in the first quarter of 2007. Total accounts receivable (including unbilled amounts) days sales outstanding, or DSO, was 122 days at March 31, 2007 and 96 days at December 31, 2006.
     At March 31, 2007, the unbilled receivables balance included $10.6 million related to our contract with the State of Ohio compared to $9.4 million at December 31, 2006. Under the current terms of the contract, this amount is anticipated to be invoiced and collected in accordance with completion of contract milestones. The remaining increase in accounts receivable during the quarter was due to a slowdown in cash collections on U.S. government receivables. We consider the increase to be temporary with no increased risk of collection.
     Net deferred tax liability was $7.5 million at March 31, 2007 compared to $8.4 million at December 31, 2006. The decrease in deferred taxes was principally due to deferred taxes on unbilled receivables which declined from $9.2 million at December 31, 2006 to $8.7 million at March 31, 2007. We paid $0.4 million in income taxes in the first quarter of 2007 and currently anticipate additional income tax payments of $5.5 million in the remaining quarters of 2007. The Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) has initiated an audit of our 2004 income tax return. The IRS continues to challenge the deferral of income for tax purposes related to our unbilled receivables including the applicability of a Letter Ruling issued by the IRS to us in January 1976 which granted to us deferred tax treatment of our unbilled receivables. This issue has been elevated to the IRS National Office for determination. While the outcome of the audit is not expected to be known for several months and remains uncertain, we may incur interest

expense, our deferred tax liabilities may be reduced and income tax payments may be increased substantially in future periods.
     Share-based compensation expense was $0.4 million in the first quarter of 2007, unchanged from the same period in 2006. During the first quarter of 2006, we recorded a pre-tax cumulative benefit of accounting change of $0.1 million related to the adoption of SFAS 123R for estimating forfeitures for restricted stock awards that were unvested as of January 1, 2006.
     Non-cash amortization expense of our acquired intangible assets was $0.7 million in both the first quarters of 2007 and 2006. We anticipate that non-cash expense for the amortization of intangible assets will remain at a comparable quarterly level through the remaining quarters of 2007.
Investing activities
     Net cash used in investing activities was $0.5 million and $1.0 million in the first quarter of 2007 and 2006, respectively. The net cash used in the first quarter of 2007 was primarily comprised of capital expenditures aggregating $0.5 million. The net cash used in the first quarter of 2006 was primarily comprised of capital expenditures aggregating $1.1 million, partially offset by $0.2 million of proceeds from the sale of Lucent shares. We expect capital expenditures in 2007 to be at similar levels as 2006.
     We believe that selective acquisitions are an important component of our growth strategy. We may acquire, from time to time, businesses 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 our credit facility as a source of financing.
Financing activities
     Net cash provided by financing activities was $10.4 million and $4.5 million in the first quarters of 2007 and 2006, respectively. The amount of cash provided in the first quarter of 2007 represents net borrowings under our revolving credit agreement of $9.9 million and $0.4 million of proceeds from the issuance of common stock through the exercises of stock options and employee stock purchase plan transactions. The amount in the first quarter of 2006 represents $8.0 million of net borrowings under our then existing revolving credit agreement and $0.6 million of proceeds from the issuance of common stock through the exercises of stock options and employee stock purchase plan transactions, partially offset by $4.3 million of principal payments of our then existing acquisition term loan.
     The average daily borrowing on our revolver for the first quarter of 2007 was $10.2 million at a weighted average interest rate of 7.54%, compared to an average daily borrowing of $7.4 million at a weighted average interest rate of 7.42% under our then existing revolver in the first quarter of 2006. Also, at March 31, 2006 our average daily outstanding balance under our then existing acquisition term loan was $21.9 million at a weighted average interest rate of 6.59%. At March 31, 2007, the outstanding balance of the revolver was $24.9 million with a weighted average interest rate of 7.29%.
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
     In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities — Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115”, (“SFAS 159”). SFAS 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The objective is to improve financial reporting by providing entities with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. SFAS 159 is effective for our fiscal year beginning January 1, 2008. We are currently evaluating whether we will elect the option provided for in this standard, and whether the adoption will have an impact on our financial statements.
     In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS 157”). SFAS 157 clarifies the principle that fair value should be based on the assumptions market participants would use when pricing an asset or liability and establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the information used to develop those

Table of Contents

assumptions. Under the standard, fair value measurements would be separately disclosed by level within the fair value hierarchy. SFAS 157 is effective for our fiscal year beginning January 1, 2008, with early adoption permitted. We do not expect the adoption of SFAS 157 to have a material impact on our financial statements.
     In July 2006, the FASB issued Financial Accounting Standards Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 sets standards for the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprises’ financial statements in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes”. FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attributable for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 also provides guidance on accounting for tax liability derecognition, classification, interest and penalty recognition, accounting in interim periods, disclosures and transitions. FIN 48 was effective for our fiscal year beginning January 1, 2007. The impact from our adoption of FIN 48 is described in Note 7 in our “Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements” in Part I, Item 1 on this Form 10-Q.
Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
     We are subject to interest rate risk associated with our revolver, where interest payments are tied to either the LIBOR or the prime rate. At any time, a sharp rise in interest rates could have an adverse effect on net interest expense as reported in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. A hypothetical and instantaneous increase of one full percentage point in the interest rate on our revolver would increase annual interest expense by approximately $0.2 million.
     We presently have no investments in debt securities and, accordingly, no exposure to market interest rates on investments. We have no significant exposure to foreign currency fluctuations. Foreign sales, which are nominal, are primarily denominated in United States 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 March 31, 2007; and, based on this review, the Company’s CEO and CFO concluded that, as of March 31, 2007, 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.
     During the quarter ended March 31, 2007, the Company enhanced its reconciliation controls to address a significant deficiency in its accounting for income taxes, which resulted in the identification of an overstatement of the Company’s deferred tax liabilities. As described in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company restated its financial statements as of December 31, 2006 and 2005 to correct for this overstatement. There has been no other change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15(d) - 15(f)) during the quarterly period ended March 31, 2007 that has materially effected, or is reasonably likely to materially effect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

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 its 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 11 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) included in this Form 10-Q and in Note 13 of our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006. 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 material adverse effects on our business, financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
