**Notes to consolidated financialstatements**

 

**(Unaudited)**

 

**1.****            ****Basis of Presentation**

 

The accompanyingunaudited consolidated financial statements of SI International, Inc. andits subsidiaries have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally acceptedaccounting principles for interim financial information and with theinstructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X.Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes requiredby U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for complete financialstatements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normalrecurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have beenincluded. Operating results for the quarter ended September 27, 2008 arenot necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the yearending December 27, 2008.  For further information, refer to thefinancial statements and footnotes included in SI International’s Annual Reporton Form 10-K for the year ended December 29, 2007.  Referencesto the “Company,” “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to SI International, Inc.and its subsidiaries.

 

**2.****            ****Summary of significant accountingpolicies:**

 

 **Principles of consolidation**

 

The accompanyingconsolidated financial statements include the accounts of SI International, Inc.and its wholly-owned subsidiaries.   All significant intercompanytransactions and accounts have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

**Use ofestimates**

 

The preparation offinancial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accountingprinciples requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affectthe reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingentassets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reportedamounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Actualresults could differ from those estimates.

 

**Reportingperiods**

 

The Company’s fiscal yearis based on the calendar year and ends each year on the Saturday nearest, butnot falling after, December 31 of that year.  As a result, our fiscalyear may be comprised of 52 or 53 weeks.  Typically, fiscal quarters alsoend on the Saturday nearest, but not falling after, the end of the calendarquarter.  However, we will end those fiscal quarters presented in ourForms 10-Q (the first three fiscal quarters) on the Saturday which provides uswith a 13-week quarter even if that Saturday falls after the end of thecalendar quarter.  As a result, in the future, if our fiscal yearcomprises 53 weeks, the first three quarters shall each be comprised of 13weeks and the fourth quarter shall be comprised of 14 weeks.  Consistent with this policy, our thirdquarters ended September 27, 2008 and September 29, 2007 were 13-weekquarters.

 

**Cash andcash equivalents**

 

We consider cash ondeposit and all highly liquid investments with original maturities of threemonths or less to be cash and cash equivalents.

 

**Marketablesecurities**

 

  As of September 27,2008 and December 29, 2007, the Company held no investments in marketablesecurities.

 

**RevenueRecognition**

 

The Company recognizesrevenue when a contract has been executed, the contract price is fixed anddeterminable, delivery of services or products has occurred, and collectibilityof the contract price is considered probable and can be reasonablyestimated.  Revenue is earned under cost reimbursable, time and materialsand fixed price contracts.

Under cost reimbursablecontracts, the Company is reimbursed for allowable costs, and paid a fee, whichmay be fixed or performance-based. Revenues on cost reimbursable contractsare recognized as costs are incurred plus an estimate of applicable feesearned. The Company considers fixed fees under cost reimbursable contracts tobe earned in proportion of the allowable costs incurred in performance of thecontract. For certain cost reimbursable contracts that includeperformance-based fee incentives, the Company recognizes the relevant portionof the expected fee to be awarded by the customer at the time such fee can bereasonably estimated, based on factors such as the Company’s prior awardexperience and communications with the customer regarding performance. Other performance-based fees are recognized upon customer approval.

 

Revenues on time andmaterials contracts are recognized based on direct labor hours expended atcontract billing rates and adding other billable direct costs.  For fixedprice contracts that are based on unit pricing or level of effort, the Companyrecognizes revenue for the number of units delivered in any given fiscalperiod.  For fixed price contracts in which the Company is paid a specificamount to provide a particular service for a stated period of time, revenue isrecognized ratably over the service period.

 

For fixed price contractsthat provide for the delivery of a specific product with related customeracceptance provisions, revenues are recognized upon product delivery andcustomer acceptance.  A significant portion of the Company’s fixedprice-completion contracts involve the design and development of complex clientsystems.  For those contracts that are within scope of the AICPA’sStatement of Position 81-1,*Accounting forPerformance of Construction-Type and Certain Production-Type Contracts*(SOP 81-1), revenue is recognized onthe percentage-of-completion method using costs incurred in relation to totalestimated costs.

 

The Company’s contractswith agencies of the government are subject to periodic funding by therespective contracting agency. Funding for a contract may be provided infull at inception of the contract or ratably throughout the contract as theservices are provided.  In evaluating the probability of funding forpurposes of assessing collectibility of the contract price, the Company considersits previous experiences with its customers, communications with its customersregarding funding status, and the Company’s knowledge of available funding forthe contract or program. If funding is not assessed as probable, revenuerecognition is deferred until realization is deemed probable.

 

Contract revenuerecognition inherently involves estimation, including the contemplated level ofeffort to accomplish the tasks under contract, the cost of the effort, and anongoing assessment of progress toward completing the contract. From time totime, as part of the normal management processes, facts develop thatrequire revisions to estimated total costs or revenues expected. The cumulativeimpact of any revisions to estimates and the full impact of anticipated losses oncontracts accounted for under SOP 81-1 are recognized in the period in whichthey become known.  Losses on all other contracts are recognized as theservices and materials are provided.

 

The allowability ofcertain costs under government contracts is subject to audit by thegovernment.  Certain indirect costs are charged to contracts usingprovisional or estimated indirect rates, which are subject to later revisionbased on government audits of those costs.  Management is of the opinionthat costs subsequently disallowed, if any, would not be significant.

 

**Significantcustomers**

 

 Revenue generatedfrom contracts with the Federal Government, both directly and through otherprime contractors, accounted for a significant percent of revenues in thefiscal periods ending September 27, 2008 and September 29, 2007, asfollows:

For the three monthsended September 27, 2008 and September 29, 2007, we had one contractvehicle that generated more than 10% of our revenue.  That contract is ourCommand, Control, Communications, Computer, Intelligence, Information,Technology, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance contract vehicle, or C4I2TSR,which is an Indefinite Delivery-Indefinite Quantity, or ID/IQ, contract vehicleadministered and primarily used by the U.S. Air Force Space Command, however,it is also available for use by different Federal Government agencies.  Asthere are projects issued under C4I2TSR for different customers, we assign andreport revenue generated from any task order to the appropriate Companybusiness unit.  Under this approach, for the three and nine months ended September 27,2008, our C4I2TSR contract vehicle represented approximately 13.3% and 12.5% ofour revenue, respectively.  For the threeand nine months ended September 29, 2007, our C4I2TSR contract vehiclerepresented approximately 14.4% and 16.8% of our revenue, respectively.

**Deferredfinancing costs**

 

Costs incurred in raisingdebt are deferred and amortized as interest expense over the term of therelated debt using the effective interest method. These deferred costs arereflected as a component of other assets in the accompanying consolidatedbalance sheets. The deferred financing costs consist of the following (inthousands):

 

| ** **                     | ** ** | **September 27,  2008** | ** ** | **December 29,  2007** | ** ** |
|--------------------------------|------------|-----------------------------------|------------|----------------------------------|------------|
|                           |       |                              |       |                             |       |
| Deferred loan  costs           |       | $                                 | 6,530      |                             | $          | 5,635 |   |
| Accumulated  amortization      |       | (4,370                            | )          | (3,987                           | )          |
| Deferred  financing costs, net |       | $                                 | 2,160      |                             | $          | 1,648 |   |

 

The increase in deferredloan costs of approximately $0.9 million in 2008 was due to the Company’sexecution of its Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement on February 13,2008, as more fully described in Note 7.

 

**Fairvalue of financial instruments**

 

The Company’s financialinstruments consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, marketablesecurities, accounts receivable, accounts payable, credit facilities, andlong-term debt. In management’s opinion, the carrying amounts of thesefinancial instruments approximate their fair values at September 27, 2008and December 29, 2007.

 

**Stock-basedcompensation**

 

Effective January 1,2006, the Company adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial AccountingStandards (SFAS) No. 123R,*Share BasedPayment,* using the modified prospective transition method.  Dueto the use of the modified prospective method, prior interim periods and fiscalyears do not reflect any restated amounts.  The Company accelerated thevesting of unvested stock options previously awarded to employees, officers anddirectors in December 2005; thus the Company had no unvested stock optionson January 1, 2006.  Since January 1, 2006, the Company hasissued 507,200 stock options through September 27, 2008.  The totalstock compensation expense recognized for stock options during the quartersended September 27, 2008 and September 29, 2007 was $0.3 million and$0.2 million, respectively. The total remaining unrecognized compensationexpense related to the unvested options as of September 27, 2008 was $3.6million.

 

From January 1, 2006through September 27, 2008, the Company has issued 182,125 shares ofrestricted stock to directors and employees under its 2002 Amended and RestatedOmnibus Stock Incentive Plan. The fair value of the restricted stock awards isdetermined based on the grant date stock price. The compensation expense forrestricted stock awards is recognized beginning on the date of grant on eithera straight-line basis over the vesting term, which is typically five years, orover the expected period of performance for awards with performance-basedvesting. The total compensation expense recognized during fiscal quarters endedSeptember 27, 2008 and September 29, 2007 was $0.2 million and$0.1 million, respectively. The total remaining unrecognized compensationexpense related to the unvested restricted stock awards as of September 27,2008 was $3.1 million.

 

In connection with theMerger, as defined in Note 10 to the financial statements, the outstandingoptions with a stock price below the purchase price per share and alloutstanding restricted shares will receive the Merger Consideration upon thechange-in-control.

 

The fair value of eachoption is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricingmodel with the following assumptions used for grants during the fiscal periodsended September 27, 2008 and September 29, 2007:

 

| ** **                       | ** ** | **Fiscal Period**      | ** ** |
|----------------------------------|------------|------------------------|------------|
| ** **                       | ** ** | **Sept 27, 2008** | ** ** | **Sept 29, 2007** | ** ** |
| Risk-free  interest rate         |       | 2.80 - 2.89            | %          | 4.67 - 5.03 | % |
| Expected life of  options        |       | 5 years                |       | 5 years |   |
| Expected stock  price volatility |       | 41.7                   | %          | 34.5 | % |
| Expected  dividend yield         |       | 0                      | %          | 0 | % |

 

The risk-free interest isbased on U.S. Treasury yields in effect at the time of grant over the expectedterm of the option. The expected life of options is derived from the Company’shistorical option exercise data. The expected stock price volatility is basedon the historical volatility of the Company’s common stock.

Prior to the adoption ofSFAS No. 123R, the Company presented all tax benefits related to theexercise of stock options as operating cash flows in the consolidatedstatements of cash flows.  SFAS No. 123R requires the cash flowsresulting from the tax benefits generated from tax deductions in excess of thecompensation costs recognized for those options to be classified as financingcash flows.

 

**Earningsper share**

 

Basic earnings per shareis computed by dividing reported earnings available to common stockholders bythe weighted average number of shares outstanding without consideration ofcommon stock equivalents or other potentially dilutive securities. Diluted earnings per share give effect to common stock equivalents and otherpotentially dilutive securities outstanding during the period.

 

The following details thecomputation of net income per common share (in thousands):

**Income Taxes**

 

Income taxes are accountedfor using an asset and liability approach that requires the recognition oftaxes payable or refundable for the current year and deferred tax liabilitiesand assets for the future tax consequences of events that have been recognizedin the Company’s financial statements or tax returns. The measurement ofcurrent and deferred tax liabilities and assets are based on provisions of theenacted tax law; the effects of future changes in tax laws or rates are notconsidered. Net deferred tax assets are reduced, if necessary, by a valuationallowance for the amount of any tax benefits that, based on available evidence,are not expected to be realized.

 

**DerivativeInstrument and Hedging Activities**

 

The Company accounts forderivative instruments and hedging activities in accordance with SFAS No. 133,*Accounting for Derivative Instruments and HedgingActivities*, as amended. Derivatives are recognized as either assetsor liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets, and gains and losses arerecognized based on changes in the fair values. Gains and losses on derivativesdesignated as a hedge, or deemed to be an effective hedge, are deferred inaccumulated other comprehensive loss in the accompanying consolidated balancesheets. Gains and losses on derivatives that are not designated as a hedge, orthat are not intended to be an effective hedge, are recognized upon the changesin fair values and are recorded in the accompanying consolidated statements ofoperations. The classification of gains and losses resulting from the changesin fair values is dependent on the intended use of the derivative and itsresulting designation. The Company uses the change in variable cash flow methodto measure the effectiveness of its hedges.

 

From time to time, theCompany will enter into interest rate swap agreements to manage exposure tofluctuations in rates on its variable rate debt. These agreements effectivelyallow the Company to exchange variable rate debt for fixed rate debt. TheCompany enters into such derivative instrument agreements only to hedge cashflows. The Company does not hold or issue such financial instruments fortrading purposes, nor is it a party to leveraged derivatives.

 

**NonqualifiedDeferred Compensation Plan**

 

The Company maintains anon-qualified defined contribution supplemental retirement savings plan forcertain key employees whereby participants may elect to defer and contribute aportion of their compensation, as permitted by the plan. The Company maintainssupplemental retirement savings plan assets that are accounted for inaccordance with Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 97-14,*Accounting for Deferred Compensation ArrangementsWhere Accounts are Held in a Rabbi Trust and Invested*, and theunderlying assets are held in a rabbi trust. The participants can direct theirinvestments in the nonqualified deferred compensation plan.

A rabbi trust is agrantor trust established to fund compensation for a select group ofmanagement. The assets of this trust are available to satisfy the claims ofgeneral creditors in the event of bankruptcy of the Company. The assets held bythe rabbi trust, which are classified as trading securities, are recorded atfair value in the consolidated financial statements as nonqualified deferredcompensation plan assets. The participants’ investments are recorded at fairvalue as nonqualified deferred compensation plan obligations.

 

 **Segment reporting**

 

SFAS No. 131,*Disclosure about Segments of an Enterprise andRelated Information*, establishes standards for the way that publicbusiness enterprises report information about operating segments in annualfinancial statements and requires that these enterprises report selectedinformation about operating segments in interim financial reports. SFAS No. 131also establishes standards for related disclosures about products and services,geographic areas and major customers. Management has concluded that the Companyoperates in one segment based upon the information used by management inevaluating the performance of its business and allocating resources andcapital.

 

**Reclassifications**

 

Certain prior yearbalances have been reclassified to conform to the presentation of the currentyear.

 

**Newaccounting pronouncements**

 

 In March 2008,the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 161, *Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities*— *an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 133*(SFAS No. 161), which requires expanded disclosures about derivative andhedging activities.  This statement changes the disclosure requirementsfor derivative instruments and hedging activities by requiring companies toprovide enhanced disclosures about how and why they use derivative instruments,how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for underSFAS No. 133 and its related interpretations, and how derivativeinstruments and related hedged items affect a company’s financial position,financial performance and cash flows. SFAS No. 161 is effective for fiscalperiods beginning after November 15, 2008.  The Company will adoptthe requirements of SFAS No. 161 at the beginning of fiscal year 2009 andhas not yet evaluated the impact, if any, that SFAS No. 161 will have onits disclosures.

 

In the first quarter of2008, we adopted SFAS No. 157,*FairValue Measurements*, which defines fair value, establishes amarket-based hierarchy for measuring fair value and expands disclosures aboutfair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 is applicable whenever anotheraccounting pronouncement requires or permits assets and liabilities to bemeasured at fair value, but does not require any new fair value measurements.The SFAS No. 157 requirements for certain non-financial assets andliabilities have been deferred until the first quarter of 2009 in accordancewith Financial Accounting Standards Board Staff Position (FSP) 157-2. Theadoption of SFAS No. 157 did not have a material impact on our results ofoperations, financial position or cash flows.

 

The fair-value hierarchyestablished in SFAS No. 157 prioritizes the inputs used in valuationtechniques into three levels as follows:

 
|   | · |   | Level 1 — Observable  inputs — quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and  liabilities;                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       |

|   | · |   | Level 2 — Observable  inputs other than the quoted prices in active markets for identical assets  and liabilities — includes quoted prices for similar instruments, quoted  prices for identical or similar instruments in inactive markets, and amounts  derived from valuation models where all significant inputs are observable in  active markets; and |
|   |   |   |                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  |
|   | · |   | Level 3 — Unobservable  inputs — includes amounts derived from valuation models where one or more  significant inputs are unobservable and require us to develop relevant  assumptions.                                                                                                                                                                     |

In February 2007,the FASB issued SFAS No. 159,*The FairValue Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities—Including anAmendment of FASB Statement No. 115* (SFAS No. 159).  SFAS No. 159 permits entities to chooseto measure certain financial instruments and other items at fair value. Thefair value option generally may be applied instrument by instrument, isirrevocable, and is applied only to entire instruments and not to portions ofinstruments. SFAS No. 159 became effective for financial statements issuedfor fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The adoption of thisstatement did not have a material impact on its financial condition, results ofoperations or cash flows, as we did not elect to measure any items at fairvalue under SFAS No. 159.

 

In December 2007,the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007),*Business Combinations*(SFAS No. 141R). SFAS No. 141R establishes principles and requirements for howcompanies recognize and measure identifiable assets acquired, liabilitiesassumed, and any non-controlling interest in connection with a businesscombination; recognize and measure the goodwill acquired in a businesscombination; and determine what information to disclose to enable users of thefinancial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of thebusiness combination. SFAS No. 141R is effective for business combinationsfor which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annualreporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. The Company hasnot yet evaluated what impact, if any, SFAS No. 141R will have on itsresults of operations or financial position.

**7.****            ****Debt:**

 

Since 2002, the Companyhas maintained a credit facility with Wachovia Bank, National Association,acting as Administration Agent for a consortium of lenders.  The creditfacility has been amended from time to time since 2002.  The creditfacility is secured by a pledge of substantially all of our current and futuretangible and intangible assets, as well as those of our current and futuresubsidiaries, including accounts receivable, inventory and capital stock.

 

On February 9, 2005,we entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, which wassubsequently amended by a First Amendment to the Amended and Restated CreditAgreement dated February 27, 2006 and a Second Amendment to the Amendedand Restated Credit Agreement (Second Amendment), dated June 8, 2007. TheSecond Amendment, executed contemporaneously with our closing of the LOGTECacquisition, increased the amount of outstanding term debt by $25 million,to a total of approximately $95 million. Additionally, we borrowedapproximately $25 million under the revolving credit facility. As of December 29,2007, we had approximately $94.3 million of term debt and$20.0 million of revolving credit debt outstanding under our creditfacility.

 

On February 13,2008, we entered into a Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (SecondAmended Credit Agreement).  The amended and restated credit facilityconsists of a revolving line of credit of up to $140.0 million and a term loanof $60.0 million.  As of September 27, 2008, we had $60.0 million interm debt and approximately $41.8 million of revolving credit debtoutstanding.  The Second Amended Credit Agreement also amended debtcovenant thresholds and lowered the variable rate margins that are be to beapplied to LIBOR or an alternative base rate in determining the periodicinterest rate.  In connection with the Second Amended Credit Agreement,the Company incurred commitment fees of approximately $0.9 million.

 

 At the time theCompany borrows funds from either of the loan facilities under the SecondAmended Credit Agreement, it may choose from two interest rate options. The Company may elect to have the borrowings bear interest at floating ratesequal to LIBOR plus a spread ranging from 87.5 to 150 basis points or analternative base rate plus a spread ranging from zero to 50 basis points.

Under either the LIBOR oran alternative base rate option, the exact interest rate spread will bedetermined based upon the Company’s leverage ratio as defined in the SecondAmended Credit Agreement.  Currently, therequirements of the Company’s swap agreement necessitate that the Company electthe LIBOR option for its term debt.  TheCompany pays a fee, which is based on its leverage ratio, on the unused portionof its loan facilities.

 

The term loan facilityrequires final payment in full on the term loan maturity date of February 13,2013.  The outstanding balance under the revolving line of credit facilitywill accrue interest at a variable rate, with interest only payments beingrequired until the facility matures on February 13, 2013.   Wemay repay either or both of the term loan facility and the revolving loanfacility in whole or in part at anytime prior to their respective maturitydates without penalty.

**Leases**

 

As of September 27,2008, the Company has noncancelable operating leases, primarily for realestate, that expire over the next ten years.   Rental expense duringthe quarter ended September 27, 2008 was approximately $2.8 million, comparedto rental expense of approximately $2.5 million during the quarter ended September 29,2007.

 

**Contract cost audits**

 

Payments to the Companyon government cost reimbursable contracts are based on provisional, orestimated indirect rates, which are subject to audit on an annual basis by theDefense Contract Audit Agency (DCAA). The cost audits result in the negotiationand determination of the final indirect cost rates that the Company may use forthe period(s) audited. The final rates, if different from the provisionalrates, may create an additional receivable or liability for the Company. TheCompany’s revenue recognition policy calls for revenue recognized on all costreimbursable government contracts to be recorded at actual rates unlesscollectibility is not reasonably assured. To the extent the indirect ratedifferential creates a liability for the Company, the differential isrecognized as a reduction to revenue when identified.

**Litigation and claims**

 

We are a party tolitigation and legal proceedings that we believe to be a part of the ordinarycourse of our business. While we cannot predict the ultimate outcome of thesematters, we currently believe that any ultimate liability arising out of theseproceedings will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position.We may become involved in other legal and governmental, administrative or contractualproceedings in the future.

 

 The Shenandoah Electronic Intelligence, Inc.(SEI) acquisition agreement provides for a purchase price adjustment based uponthe working capital of SEI as of the closing date. Subsequent to the closingdate, we received a payment of $1.6 million in connection with servicesperformed prior to the closing date that SEI had not previously billed, and wasnot authorized to bill, its customer as of the closing date. The SEI sellingstockholders have asserted that they are entitled to a credit in connectionwith the calculation of working capital adjustment in an amount equal to theamount received by us for this post-closing payment. We believe that, inaccordance with generally accepted accounting principles, the SEI selling stockholdersshould not receive the benefit of the post-closing payment. In accordance withthe terms of the SEI acquisition agreement, the parties have jointly submittedthe issue to an independent accounting firm for resolution. We anticipate thatthis matter will be resolved before the end of fiscal year 2008.

 

From July 2001through December 2007, the Company, through an acquired subsidiary, servedas a subcontractor under a prime contract with the U.S. Department of HomelandSecurity and for the operation of the department’s immigration service centers,including in Vermont (the SCOT Contract).  In November 2007, the U.S.Department of Labor (DOL) initiated a compliance review with respect to theService Contract Act (SCA) for the SCOT contract at the Vermont facility. The term of the SCOT Contract expired in November 2007.  The periodcovered by the audit is from December 2005 through November 2007. We have held discussions with DOL concerning its preliminary findings; however,we are unable to determine an ultimate outcome of this matter at thistime.  The Company continues to cooperate with the DOL and to provide itwith additional information.  The Companybelieves that it has complied with the SCA requirements on the SCOT contract,and that the resolution of this matter will not have a material adverse effectto the Company.

On August 26,2008, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “MergerAgreement”) with Serco Group plc (“Serco Group”), Serco Inc. (“Serco”) andMatador Acquisition Corporation, a wholly-owed subsidiary of Serco (“Merger Sub”),providing for the merger of Merger Sub with and into the Company (the “Merger”).

At the effective time of the Merger, alloutstanding options to acquire Common Stock, whether or not then vested andexercisable, will be canceled in exchange for the right to receive, on theterms and conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, a cash payment equal to(i) the amount by which the Merger Consideration exceeds the exerciseprice of such option (if any), multiplied by (ii) the number of shares ofCommon Stock subject to that option, less any applicable withholdingtaxes.  Also at the effective time of theMerger, each share of restricted stock shall vest in full and convert into theright to receive the Merger Consideration, less any applicable withholdingtaxes.

 

The Company hasmade various representations and warranties and agreed to specified covenantsin the Merger Agreement, including covenants relating to the Company’s conductof its business between the date of the Merger Agreement and the closing of theMerger, restrictions on solicitation of proposals with respect to alternativetransactions, governmental filings and approvals, public disclosures and othermatters.

The completion of the Merger is subject to anumber of conditions, including stockholder approval, the receipt of certainregulatory approvals, no material adverse effect on the Company having occurredand other customary conditions.  The completionof the Merger is also subject to there existing no law or government orderprohibiting the Merger.

As of September 27,2008, the Company has recorded approximately $1.5 million of pre-tax costsrelated to the pending merger, for use of outside consultants.  The impact of those costs resulted in a $0.08reduction of fully diluted earnings per share for the current quarter.

We believe that it isimportant to communicate our future expectations to our investors. However,there may be events in the future that we are not able to predict accurately orcontrol. In particular, statements that we make in this section relating to thesufficiency of anticipated sources of capital to meet our cash requirements areforward- looking statements. Our actual results could differ materially fromthose anticipated in these forward-looking statements for many reasons,including as a result of some of the factors described below, elsewhere in thisForm 10-Q and in the section entitled “Risk Factors” in our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 29, 2007.

Our services are providedto clients pursuant to three types of contracts: cost reimbursable, time andmaterials and fixed price contracts. The following table shows our revenuesfrom each of these types of contracts as a percentage of our total revenue forthe following periods:

Our cost reimbursablerevenues, as a percentage of total revenues, increased primarily due to higherequipment pass-through revenue on our C4I2TSR program as well as an increase inefforts under a new program with an intelligence agency.

 

Under cost reimbursablecontracts, the Company is reimbursed for allowable costs, and paid a fee, whichmay be fixed or performance based. Revenues on cost reimbursable contracts arerecognized as costs are incurred plus an estimate of applicable feesearned.  The Company considers fixed fees under cost reimbursablecontracts to be earned in proportion of the allowable costs incurred inperformance of the contract.  For certain cost reimbursable contracts thatinclude performance based fee incentives, the Company recognizes the relevantportion of the expected fee to be awarded by the client at the time such feecan be reasonably estimated, based on factors such as our prior awardexperience and communications with the client regardingperformance.   Other performance based fees are recognized uponcustomer approval.

 

 Revenues on time and materials contractsare recognized based on direct labor hours expended at contract billing ratesand adding other billable direct costs.  To the extent that our actuallabor costs under a time and materials contract are higher or lower than thebilling rates under the contract, our profit under the contract may either begreater or less than we anticipated or we may suffer a loss under the contract.We recognize revenues under time and materials contracts by multiplying thenumber of direct labor hours expended by the contract billing rates and addingthe effect of other billable direct costs.

 

For fixed price contractsthat provide for the delivery of a specific product with related customeracceptance provisions, revenues are recognized upon product delivery andcustomer acceptance.  However, a significant portion of the Company’sfixed price-completion contracts involve the design and development of complex,client systems. For those contracts that are within the scope of the AICPA’sStatement of Position 81-1,*Accounting forPerformance of Construction-Type and certain Production-Type Contracts,*revenue is recognized on the percentage-of-completion method using costsincurred in relation to total estimated costs.

The Company’s contractswith agencies of the government are subject to periodic funding by therespective contracting agency.  Funding for a contract may be provided infull at inception of the contract or ratably throughout the contract as theservices are provided.  In evaluating the probability of funding forpurposes of assessing collectibility of the contract price, the Companyconsiders its previous experiences with its customers, communications with itscustomers regarding funding status, and the Company’s knowledge of availablefunding for the contract or program.  If funding is not assessed asprobable, revenue recognition is deferred until realization is probable.

 

Contract revenuerecognition inherently involves estimation, including the contemplated level ofeffort to accomplish the tasks under contract, the cost of the effort, and anongoing assessment of progress toward completing the contract. From time totime, as part of the normal management processes, facts develop thatrequire revisions to estimated total costs or revenues expected. The cumulativeimpact of any revisions to estimates and the full impact of anticipated losseson contracts accounted for under SOP 81-1 are recognized in the period in whichthey become known.  Losses on all other contracts are recognized as theservices and materials are provided.

 

The allowability ofcertain costs under government contracts is subject to audit by thegovernment.  Certain indirect costs are charged to contracts usingprovisional or estimated indirect rates, which are subject to later revisionbased on government audits of those costs.  Management is of the opinionthat costs subsequently disallowed, if any, would not be significant.

 

**Liquidity and Capital Resources**

 

*General.*  Short-term liquidityrequirements are created by our use of funds for working capital, capitalexpenditures, and the need to provide debt service. We expect to meet theserequirements through a combination of cash flow from operations and borrowingsunder our Second Amended Credit Agreement.

 

We anticipate that ourlong-term liquidity requirements, including any further acquisitions, will befunded through a combination of cash flow from operations, borrowings under ourSecond Amended Credit Agreement, additional secured or unsecured debt or theissuance of common or preferred stock, each of which may be initially fundedthrough borrowings under our Second Amended Credit Agreement.

 

Under the terms of ourSecond Amended Credit Agreement, the Company is required to maintain compliancewith financial and non-financial covenants.  The Company is in compliancewith all such covenants as of September 27, 2008.

 

*Cashand Cash Equivalents.*   We consider cash on deposit and all highly liquidinvestments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash and cashequivalents. Cash and cash equivalents as of September 27, 2008 and December 29,2007 were $1.2 million and $13.1 million, respectively.

 

*CashFlow.*  The following table sets forth our sources and uses of cash and cashequivalents for the nine months ended September 27, 2008 and September 29,2007:

Our operating cash flowis primarily affected by the overall profitability of our contracts, ourability to invoice and collect from our clients in a timely manner, and ourability to manage our vendor payments. We bill most of our clients monthlyafter services are rendered. Cash provided by operations for the nine monthsended September 27, 2008 was attributable to net income of $10.3 million,plus depreciation, amortization and other non-cash items of $8.2 million, and adecrease in working capital and other operation assets and liabilities of $3.6million.  Cash provided by operations in the nine months ended September 29,2007 was attributable to net income of $14.1 million, plus depreciation,amortization and other non-cash items of $6.9 million, offset by an increase inworking capital and other operating assets and liabilities of $8.4 million.

 

Our cash flow used ininvesting activities consists primarily of capital expenditures, the purchaseand sale of marketable securities, and acquisitions. In the nine months ended September 27,2008, we purchased capital assets totaling $2.2 million.  During the ninemonths ended September 29, 2007, we paid $60.4 million for the LOGTECacquisition, net of cash assumed, repaid $6.0 million of note payable to theformer owners of Zen, and invested $4.7 million in capital assets.  We partially offset the cash use with $7.8million of proceeds from the sale of marketable securities, net of purchases.

**Threemonths ended September 27, 2008 compared with three months ended September 29,2007**

 

*Revenue.*  For the three months ended September 27,2008, our revenues increased 5.5% to $148.9 million from $141.1 millionfor the three months ended September 29, 2007.   Revenues from workunder Federal Government contracts increased 5.9% to $148.0 million for thethree months ended September 27, 2008 from $139.8 million for the threemonths ended September 29, 2007. This increase was primarily attributableto new contract awards, successful recompetition wins on existing programs, newcontracts from and growth within existing programs in our four focus areas:Federal IT Modernization, Defense Transformation, Homeland Defense, andMission-Critical Outsourcing.  We continue to focus primarily onopportunities for the Federal Government.

 

*Costof services.* Cost of services include direct labor and other direct costs such as materialsand subcontractor costs, incurred to provide our services and solutions to ourcustomers.  Generally, changes in costs of services are correlated tochanges in revenue as resources are consumed in the production of that revenue.For the three months ended September 27, 2008, cost of services increased8.0% to $100.3 million from $92.9 million for the three months ended September 29,2007.  This increase was attributable primarily to the increase inrevenue. As a percentage of revenue, cost of services was 67.3% for the threemonths ended September 27, 2008 as compared to 65.8% for the three monthsended September 29, 2007.  The increase in cost of services, as apercentage of revenue, is due primarily to the Company increasing its use ofsubcontractors on programs for which we are acting as the prime contractor andhigher costs during the quarter related to certain fixed price contracts.

 

*Selling,general and administrative expenses.*  Selling, general and administrative expensesinclude facilities, selling, bid and proposal, indirect labor, fringe benefitsand other discretionary costs. For the three months ended September 27,2008, indirect costs increased 9.0% to $39.8 million from $36.5 million for thethree months ended September 29, 2007.  This $3.3 million increasewas primarily attributable to the expected growth of support functionsnecessary to facilitate and administer the growth in direct costs.  As apercentage of revenue, selling, general and administrative costs were 26.7% forthe three months ended September 27, 2008 as compared to 25.8% for thethree months ended September 29, 2007. The increase of 0.9% is primarily due to approximately $1.5 million ofcosts to outside consultants related to the pending acquisition of the Company.

*Amortizationof intangible assets.* Amortization of intangible assets includes the amortization ofintangible assets acquired in connection with acquisitions.  Identifiableintangible assets are amortized over their estimated useful lives. Non-compete agreements are generally amortized straight-line over the term ofthe agreement, while contracts and related client relationships are amortizedusing an accelerated method over their estimated useful lives.  For thethree months ended September 27, 2008, amortization of intangible assetswas $1.1 million, compared to $1.4 million for the three months ended September 29,2007.   As a percentage of revenue, amortization of intangible assetswas 0.7% for the three months ended September 27, 2008 compared to 1.0%for the three months ended September 29, 2007.

 

*Incomefrom operations.* For the three months ended September 27, 2008, income from operationsdecreased 27.7% to $6.8 million from $9.4 million for the three months ended September 29,2007.  This decrease was attributable primarily to increased costs ofservices, as described above.  As a percentage of revenue, income fromoperations was 4.6% for the three months ended September 27, 2008 comparedto 6.7% for the three months ended September 29, 2007.

 

*Interestexpense, net.* Interest expense, net was $1.6 million for the three months ended September 27,2008, a decrease of 27.3% compared to $2.2 million in the quarter ended September 29,2007.  As a percentage of revenue, interest expense, net was 1.1% for thethree months ended September 27, 2008 as compared to 1.6% for the threemonths ended September 29, 2007. The decrease in interest expense was due to both lower averageborrowings along with a lower effective interest rate for the quarter ended September 27,2008 as compared to the same period a year ago.

 

*Provisionfor income taxes.* The provision for income taxes was $2.1 million in the three months ended September 27,2008, compared to $2.8 million for the three months ended September 29,2007.  Our third quarters of 2008 and 2007 tax provision, represent anestimated annual effective tax rate of 40.5%, and 39.2%, respectively. Ourestimated annual effective tax rate of 40.5% for 2008 is greater than thefederal statutory rate of 35% due primarily to state income taxes, the taximpact related to our non-qualified deferred compensation plan and certainnon-deductible stock compensation costs. The tax impact of the nonqualified deferred compensation plan is basedon an estimated return on the plan’s assets. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

 

 **Nine months ended September 27,2008 compared with nine months ended September 29, 2007**

 

 *Revenue.*  For the nine months ended September 27,2008, our revenues increased 14.1% to $426.1 million from$373.6 million for the nine months ended September 29,2007.   Revenues from work under Federal Government contractsincreased 14.5% to $422.9 million for the nine months ended September 27,2008 from $369.3 million for the nine months ended September 29, 2007.This increase was primarily attributable to the acquisition of LOGTEC, Inc.,along with new contract awards, successful re-competition wins on existing programs,new contracts from and growth within existing programs in our four focus areas:Federal IT Modernization, Defense Transformation, Homeland Defense, andMission-Critical Outsourcing.  We continue to focus primarily onopportunities for the Federal Government.

 

*Costof services.* Cost of services include direct labor and other direct costs such as materialsand subcontractor costs, incurred to provide our services and solutions to ourcustomers.  Generally, changes in costs of services are correlated tochanges in revenue as resources are consumed in the production of that revenue.For the nine months ended September 27, 2008, cost of services increased19.2% to $283.0 million from $237.5 million for the nine months ended September 29,2007.  This increase was attributable primarily to the increase inrevenue. As a percentage of revenue, cost of services was 66.4% for the ninemonths ended September 27, 2008 as compared to 63.5% for the nine monthsended September 29, 2007.  The increase in cost of services, as apercentage of revenue, is due primarily to the Company increasing its use ofsubcontractors on programs for which we are acting as the prime contractor andhigher costs during the quarter related to certain fixed price contracts.

 

*Selling,general and administrative expenses.*  Selling, general and administrative expensesinclude facilities, selling, bid and proposal, indirect labor, fringe benefitsand other discretionary costs. For the nine months ended September 27,2008, indirect costs increased 11.8% to $114.3 million from $102.2 millionfor the nine months ended September 29, 2007.  This $12.1 millionincrease was primarily attributable to the expected growth of support functionsnecessary to facilitate and administer the growth in direct costs, as well asthe integration of LOGTEC, Inc.  As a percentage of revenue, selling,general and administrative costs were 26.8% for the nine months ended September 27,2008 as compared to 27.4% for the nine months ended September 29, 2007.

Identifiableintangible assets are amortized over their estimated useful lives. Non-compete agreements are generally amortized straight-line over the term ofthe agreement, while contracts and related client relationships are amortizedusing an accelerated method over their estimated useful lives.  For thenine months ended September 27, 2008, amortization of intangible assetswas $3.3 million, compared to $2.9 million for the nine months ended September 29,2007.

**Off-BalanceSheet Arrangements**

 

As of September 27,2008, we have no off-balance sheet arrangements that are reasonably likely tohave a current or future material effect on our financial condition, revenues,or expenses, result of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures, or capitalresources.

 

**CriticalAccounting Policies and Estimates**

 

Our significantaccounting policies are described in Note 2 to our accompanyingconsolidated financial statements. We consider the accounting policies in thissection to be critical to the understanding of our results of operations. Ourcritical accounting policies include the areas where we have made what weconsider to be particularly difficult, subjective or complex judgments inmaking estimates, and where these estimates can significantly impact our financialresults under different assumptions and conditions. We prepare our financialstatements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Assuch, we are required to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions thatwe believe are reasonable based upon the information available. Theseestimates, judgments and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets andliabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts ofrevenue and expenses during the periods presented. Actual results could bedifferent from these estimates.

 

*Revenue Recognition*

 

The Company recognizesrevenue when a contract has been executed, the contract price is fixed anddeterminable, delivery of services or products has occurred, and collectibilityof the contract price is considered probable and can be reasonablyestimated.  Revenue is earned under cost reimbursable, time and materialsand fixed price contracts.

 

Under cost reimbursablecontracts, the Company is reimbursed for allowable costs, and paid a fee, whichmay be fixed or performance-based. Revenues on cost reimbursable contractsare recognized as costs are incurred plus an estimate of applicable feesearned. The Company considers fixed fees under cost reimbursable contracts tobe earned in proportion of the allowable costs incurred in performance of thecontract. For cost reimbursable contracts that include performance based feeincentives, the Company recognizes the relevant portion of the expected fee tobe awarded by the customer at the time such fee can be reasonably estimated,based on factors such as the Company’s prior award experience andcommunications with the customer regarding performance.  Other performancebased fees are recognized upon customer approval.

Revenues on time andmaterials contracts are recognized based on direct labor hours expended atcontract billing rates and adding other billable direct costs.  For fixedprice contracts that are based on unit pricing or level of effort, the Companyrecognizes revenue for the number of units delivered in any given fiscalperiod.  For fixed price contracts in which the Company is paid a specificamount to provide a particular service for a stated period of time, revenue isrecognized ratably over the service period.

 

For fixed price contractsthat provide for the delivery of a specific product with related customeracceptance provisions, revenues are recognized upon product delivery andcustomer acceptance.  A significant portion of the Company’s fixedprice-completion contracts involve the design and development of complex,client systems.  For those contracts that are within scope of SOP 81-1,**revenue is recognized on thepercentage-of-completion method using costs incurred in relation to totalestimated costs.

 

The Company’s contractswith agencies of the government are subject to periodic funding by therespective contracting agency. Funding for a contract may be provided infull at inception of the contract or ratably throughout the contract as theservices are provided.  In evaluating the probability of funding forpurposes of assessing collectibility of the contract price, the Companyconsiders its previous experiences with its customers, communications with itscustomers regarding funding status, and the Company’s knowledge of availablefunding for the contract or program. If funding is not assessed as probable,revenue recognition is deferred until realization is deemed probable.

 

Contract revenuerecognition inherently involves estimation, including the contemplated level ofeffort to accomplish the tasks under contract, the cost of the effort, and anongoing assessment of progress toward completing the contract. From time totime, as part of the normal management processes, facts develop thatrequire revisions to estimated total costs or revenues expected. The cumulativeimpact of any revisions to estimates and the full impact of anticipated losseson contracts accounted for under SOP 81-1 are recognized in the period in whichthey become known.  Losses on all other contracts are recognized as theservices and materials are provided.

 

The allowability ofcertain costs under government contracts is subject to audit by thegovernment.  Certain indirect costs are charged to contracts usingprovisional or estimated indirect rates, which are subject to later revisionbased on government audits of those costs.  Management is of the opinionthat costs subsequently disallowed, if any, would not be significant.

 

*Stock Based Compensation*

 

Effective January 1,2006, the Company adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial AccountingStandards (SFAS) No. 123R,*Share BasedPayment*, using the modified prospective transition method.  Dueto the use of the modified prospective method, prior interim periods and fiscalyears do not reflect any restated amounts.  The Company accelerated thevesting of unvested stock options previously awarded to employees, officers anddirectors in December 2005; thus the Company had no unvested stock optionson January 1, 2006.  Since January 1, 2006, the Company hasissued 689,325 stock options and restricted stock awards through September 27,2008.  The total stock compensation expense recognized for stock optionsand restricted stock awards during the quarter ended September 27, 2008was $0.5 million. The total remaining unrecognized compensation expense relatedto the unvested options and restricted stock awards as of September 27,2008 was $3.6 million and $3.1 million, respectively.

 

**Item 3.  Quantitative andQualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.**

 

We are exposed to certainfinancial market risks, the most predominant being fluctuations in interestrates for borrowings under our credit facility. Interest rate fluctuations aremonitored by our management as an integral part of our overall risk managementprogram, which recognizes the unpredictability of financial markets and seeksto reduce the potentially adverse effect on our results of operations. As partof this strategy, we may use interest rate swap arrangements to manage or hedgeour interest rate risk.  We evaluated thecredit quality of potential counterparties to derivative transactions and onlyenter into agreements with those deemed to have minimal credit risk at the timethe agreements are executed.  Wecarefully monitor the amount of exposure we have with any given counterparty.  We periodically monitor changes tocounterparty credit as well as our concentration of credit exposure toindividual counterparties.  We do not usederivative financial instruments for speculative or trading purposes.

 

As of September 27,2008, we had $101.8 million outstanding under our Second Amended Credit Agreement.A 1% change in interest rates would have resulted in our interest expensefluctuating by approximately $255,000 for the three months ended September 27,2008.

 

Effective August 13,2007, an interest swap agreement came into effect which reduced our exposureassociated with the market volatility of floating LIBOR interest rates. Thisagreement has a notional principal amount of $60.0 million and, as of September 27,2008, had a fixed rate of 5.045%. This agreement is a hedge against term debt,which bears interest at LIBOR plus a margin which has a current rate of 3.94%.At stated monthly intervals the difference between the interest on the floatingLIBOR-based debt and the interest calculated in the swap agreement are settledin cash. The estimated value of the swap at September 27, 2008 was acurrent liability of $2.1 million.

In addition,historically, our investment positions have been relatively small andshort-term in nature. We have typically made investments in a fund with aneffective average maturity of fewer than 40 days and a portfolio make-upconsisting primarily of commercial paper and notes, variable rate instruments,and, to a lesser degree, overnight securities and bank instruments.  Sinceour initial public offering, the Board of Directors approved an investmentpolicy that requires us to invest in relatively short-term, high quality, andhigh liquidity obligations.

**PART II: OTHER INFORMATION**

 

**Item1.  Legal Proceedings**

 

We are a party tolitigation and legal proceedings that we believe to be a part of the ordinarycourse of our business. While we cannot predict the ultimate outcome of thesematters, we currently believe that any ultimate liability arising out of theseproceedings will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position.We may become involved in other legal and governmental, administrative orcontractual proceedings in the future.

 

The Shenandoah ElectronicIntelligence, Inc. (SEI) acquisition agreement provides for a purchaseprice adjustment based upon the working capital of SEI as of the closing date.Subsequent to the closing date, we received a payment of $1.6 million inconnection with services performed prior to the closing date that SEI had notpreviously billed, and was not authorized to bill, its customer as of theclosing date. The SEI selling stockholders have asserted that they are entitledto a credit in connection with the calculation of working capital adjustment inan amount equal to the amount received by us for this post-closing payment. Webelieve that, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, theSEI selling stockholders should not receive the benefit of the post-closingpayment. In accordance with the terms of the SEI acquisition agreement, theparties have jointly submitted the issue to an independent accounting firm forresolution. We anticipate that this matter will be resolved before the end of2008.

 

From July 2001through December 2007, the Company, through an acquired subsidiary, servedas a subcontractor under a prime contract with the U.S. Department of HomelandSecurity and for the operation of the department’s immigration service centers,including in Vermont (the SCOT Contract).  In November 2007, the U.S.Department of Labor (DOL) initiated a compliance review with respect to theService Contract Act (SCA) for the SCOT contract at the Vermont facility. The term of the SCOT Contract expired in November 2007.  The periodcovered by the audit is from December 2005 through November 2007. We have held discussions with DOL concerning its preliminary findings; however,we are unable to determine an ultimate outcome of this matter at thistime.  The Company continues to cooperate with the DOL and to provide itwith additional information.  The Companybelieves that it has complied with the SCA requirements on the SCOT contract,and that the resolution of this matter will not have a material adverse effectto the Company.  However, there can be noassurance that DOL will conclude that the Company has complied with the SCArequirements, or that any DOL finding of non-compliance will not result in amaterial adverse effect to the Company.
