NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)



Note 1. General



The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and include the accounts of Telos Corporation (Telos) and its
wholly owned subsidiaries Xacta Corporation and Telos Delaware, Inc. (collectively, the Company). Significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated.



In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying financial statements reflect all adjustments (which include only normal
recurring adjustments) and reclassifications necessary for their fair presentation in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of fiscal year performance
for a variety of reasons including, but not limited to, the impact of seasonal and short-term variations. The Company has continued to follow the accounting policies (including its critical accounting policies) set forth in the consolidated
financial statements included in its 2003 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in
the Companys annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003.



Reclassifications



Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior years financial statements to conform to the classifications used in the current period.



Recent Accounting Pronouncements



In January 2003, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 46 (FIN 46), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an Interpretation of Accounting
Research Bulletin No. 51. FIN 46 requires certain variable interest entities to be consolidated by the primary beneficiary of the entity if the equity investors in the entity do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest or do
not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties. In December 2003, the FASB completed deliberations of proposed modifications to FIN 46 resulting in
multiple effective dates in 2003 and 2004 based on the nature as well as the creation date of the variable interest entity. The revised FIN 46 will be effective for non-SPE variable interest entities created prior to February 1, 2003 no later than
the first quarter of 2004. For variable interest entities created or acquired after January 31, 2003, the provisions of FIN 46 must be applied. The adoption of FIN 46 did not materially affect the results of operations or financial position of the
Company.

Note 2. Investment in Enterworks



As of March 31, 2004, the Company owns 17,153,059 common stock shares of Enterworks, Inc. (Enterworks) and holds
warrants to purchase 4,499,997 underlying common stock shares which equates to a fully diluted ownership percentage of 21.5%. The Company accounts for its investment in Enterworks under the equity method of accounting as prescribed by APB 18.



The Company also owns notes receivable from Enterworks
totaling $3,260,000. Such notes were received in exchange for rent and professional services performed by the Company pursuant to a lease and an inter-company services agreement. In accordance with APB 18 and EITF 98-13 Accounting by an Equity
Method Investor for Investee Losses when the Investor has Loans to and Investments in Other Securities of the Investee, the Company has reduced the carrying amounts of the notes to zero during 2003 and 2002, as the Companys share of the
Enterworks losses exceeded the carrying value of the notes. All of such notes issued to the Company in 2003 and 2002 include a provision for repayment of four times principal and accrued interest in the event that Enterworks liquidates, enters into
dissolution or seeks bankruptcy protection.



In December 2003,
the Company purchased a 50% interest in Enterworks International, formerly a wholly-owned subsidiary of Enterworks, for $500,000. Pursuant to the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement and the related Stockholders Agreement, the Company agreed
to fund up to 50% of Enterworks Internationals 2004 operating costs for an amount not to exceed $300,000, and 50% of such operating costs thereafter. The Company has determined its interest in Enterworks International is a variable interest
entity and has consolidated Enterworks International pursuant to the provisions of FIN 46.



Separately, in December 2003, the Company entered into a two-year Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) software license agreement (SLA) with Enterworks, which, pursuant to an earn-out provision is
comprised of cumulative license fees and/or Company services to Enterworks equal to at least $2.0 million. The Company provided initial consideration of $1.0 million, comprised of a $100,000 cash payment and Company services in the amount of
$900,000, including $300,000 for rent and services from July 2003 to December 2003, and an additional $600,000 for rent and services for 2004. In addition to the above-described exchange, the Company has agreed to pay royalties of $1.0 million over
the course of the next two years and, upon payment of cumulative license fees and/or company services to Enterworks equal to at least $2.0 million, will own a worldwide, non-exclusive, perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free, fully paid-up license for
the Enterworks Process Exchange (EPX) software.
The Company has capitalized the $100,000 license cash payment to Enterworks as a fixed asset. In accordance with APB 18 and EITF 98-13, the Company has accounted for the SLA as losses from affiliates.

Note 3. Debt Obligations



Senior Revolving Credit Facility



On October 21, 2002 the Company entered into a $22.5 million Senior Credit Facility Agreement (Facility) with Wells Fargo Foothill, Inc.
(Wells Fargo Foothill) (formerly known as Foothill Capital Corporation) that matures on October 21, 2005. Borrowings under the Facility are collateralized by substantially all of the Companys assets including inventory, equipment,
and accounts receivable. The amount of available borrowings fluctuates based on the eligible underlying asset-borrowing base, as defined in the Facility agreement.



The Company paid an origination fee of $225,000 at the date of closing. Unused borrowing availability on the Facility was
$1,334,000 at March 31, 2004; however, such availability fluctuates on a daily basis based on the amount of underlying assets in the borrowing base. Interest on the Facility is charged at 1.25%, subject to certain adjustments, over the banks
base rate, which was 5.75% upon initial funding.



The Facility
has various covenants, which among other things, affect the ability of the Company to merge with another entity, sell or transfer certain assets, pay dividends and make other distributions beyond certain limitations. The Facility also requires the
Company to meet certain financial covenants, including tangible net worth and cash flow targets based on EBITDA as defined in the Facility. The Company and Wells Fargo Foothill have agreed upon modified cash flow covenants through October 21, 2005.



Senior Subordinated Notes



In 1995, the Company issued Senior Subordinated Notes (Notes) to
certain shareholders. Such Notes are classified as either Series B or Series C. The Series B Notes are secured by the Companys property and equipment. The Series C Notes are unsecured. The maturity date of such Notes is October 31, 2004 with
interest rates ranging from 14% to 17%, and paid quarterly on January 1, April 1, July 1, and October 1 of each year. The senior subordinated note holders have extended the maturity date of the Notes to a date no earlier than October 31, 2004. The
Notes can be prepaid at the Companys option. The Notes contain a cumulative payment premium of 13.5% per annum payable upon certain circumstances, which include, but are not limited to, an initial public offering of the Companys common
stock or a significant refinancing (qualifying triggering event), to the extent that sufficient net proceeds from either of the above events are received to pay such cumulative prepayment premium. Due to the contingent nature of the
cumulative premium payment, any associated premium expense can only be quantified and recorded subsequent to the occurrence of such a qualifying triggering event. At March 31, 2004, if such a qualifying triggering event were to occur, the cumulative
premium payment would be approximately $10.5 million.



The
Company retired $3 million of the Series B Notes in October 2002 upon the initial funding of the Facility. In consideration for accelerated payment, the note holders waived the prepayment penalty on such Notes, which were due May 2003.



The balance of the Series B and C Notes was $2.5 million and $2.7 million,
at March 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003, respectively.

Note 4. Redeemable Preferred Stock



Senior Redeemable Preferred Stock



The components of the authorized, issued and outstanding senior redeemable preferred stock (Senior Redeemable
Preferred Stock) are 1,250 Series A-1 and 1,750 Series A-2 senior redeemable preferred shares, each with $.01 par value. The Senior Redeemable Preferred Stock carries a cumulative per annum dividend rate of 14.125% of its liquidation value of
$1,000 per share. The dividends are payable semi-annually on June 30 and December 31 of each year. The liquidation preference of the Senior Redeemable Preferred Stock is the face amount of the Series A-1 and A-2 ($1,000 per share), plus all accrued
and unpaid dividends. The Company is required to redeem all shares and accrued dividends outstanding on October 31, 2004. The Senior Redeemable Preferred Stockholders and the Company have agreed to extend the redemption date, on or before August 15,
2004, to a date no earlier than October 31, 2005. Mandatory redemptions are subject to legal availability of funds and required to be paid from excess cash flows, as defined in the Corporate Charter. The Senior Redeemable Preferred Stock is senior
to all other present and future equity of the Company. The Series A-1 is senior to the Series A-2. The Company has not declared dividends on its Senior Redeemable Preferred Stock since its issuance. At March 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003 cumulative
undeclared, unpaid dividends relating to Series A-1 and A-2 Redeemable Preferred Stock totaled $4,856,000 and $4,751,000, respectively. The Company recorded senior redeemable preferred stock dividends of $105,000 for the three months ended March 31,
2004 and 2003.



12% Cumulative Exchangeable Redeemable
Preferred Stock



A maximum of 6,000,000 shares of 12%
Cumulative Exchangeable Redeemable Preferred Stock (the Public Preferred Stock), par value $.01 per share, has been authorized for issuance. The Company initially issued 2,858,723 shares of the Public Preferred Stock pursuant to the
acquisition of the Company during fiscal year 1990. The Public Preferred Stock was recorded at fair value on the date of original issue, November 21, 1989, and the Company makes periodic accretions under the interest method of the excess of the
redemption value over the recorded value. Such accretion for the quarters ended March 31, 2004 and 2003 was $555,000 and $506,000, respectively. The Company declared stock dividends totaling 736,863 shares in 1990 and 1991. Since 1991, no other
dividends, in stock or cash, have been declared. In November 1998, the Company retired 410,000 shares of the Public Preferred Stock.



Since 1991, the Company has not declared or paid any dividends on its Public Preferred Stock, based upon its interpretation of restrictions in its
corporate charter, limitations in the terms of the Public Preferred Stock, specific dividend payment restrictions in the $22.5 million Facility entered into with Wells Fargo Foothill, and other senior obligations and limitations pursuant to Maryland
law. Pursuant to the terms of the Public Preferred Stock, the Company is to redeem the Public Preferred Stock in five annual tranches during the period 2005 through 2009. In accordance with such terms, the Public Preferred Stock, which has a 20 year
maturity, is scheduled to be redeemed on the 16th, 17th, 18th, and 19thanniversaries of November 21, 1989, leaving 20% to be redeemed at maturity. Due to its substantial senior obligations,
limitations set forth in the covenants in the Facility, foreseeable capital and operational requirements, corporate charter restrictions and prohibitions, and provisions of Maryland law, and assuming sufficient liquidity to undertake any stock
redemption (which is presently unquantifiable), the Company believes that the likelihood is that it will not be able to meet the redemption schedule set forth in the terms of the Public Preferred Stock.

##### Table of Contents

On any dividend payment date after November 21, 1991, the Company may exchange the Public Preferred
Stock, in whole or in part, for 12% Junior Subordinated Debentures that are redeemable upon terms substantially similar to the Public Preferred Stock and subordinated to all indebtedness for borrowed money and like obligations of the Company.



The Public Preferred Stock accrues a semi-annual dividend at
the annual rate of 12% ($1.20) per share, based on the liquidation preference of $10 per share and is fully cumulative. Dividends in additional shares of the Public Preferred Stock were paid at the rate of 6% of a share for each $.60 of such
dividends not paid in cash. Any such dividends payable by the Company, when and if declared by the Board of Directors, commencing June 1, 1990, and on each six month anniversary thereafter were paid out of legally available funds in accordance with
Maryland law. For the years 1992 through 1994 and for the dividend payable June 1, 1995, the Company has accrued undeclared dividends in additional shares of Public Preferred Stock. Such accrued dividends were valued at $3,950,000. Had the Company
accrued these dividends on a cash basis, the total amount accrued would have been $15,101,000. For the cash dividends payable since December 1, 1995, the Company has accrued $34,924,000 as of March 31, 2004. In 2003 the Company recorded cumulative
exchangeable redeemable preferred stock dividends of $3.8 million.



In accordance with SFAS 150, and as reported beginning with the Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2003, both the Senior Redeemable Preferred Stock and the Public Preferred Stock have been reclassified from equity to liability.
Consequently, the accretion and dividends accrued in the first quarter of 2004 in the amount of $1.6 million was recorded as interest expense. Pursuant to the disclosure provisions of FAS 107, the aggregate fair value of the Public Preferred Stock
at March 31, 2004 was $8.4 million.

Note 5. Reportable Business Segments



As of March 31, 2004, the Companys operations are comprised of two operating segments, IT Solutions Group and Xacta.
The segment information below has been reclassified to conform to managements internal operating structure implemented during the fourth quarter of 2003. Principally, the Company has included the results of its wireless and messaging solutions
product line in the Xacta segment, which was previously included as part of the Products Group segment. Prior to December 2003, the Company had two operating segments: the Products Group and the Xacta Group.



The IT Solutions Group: markets and sells integration
services and value-added reseller solutions that address a wide range of Government Information Technology (IT) requirements. Telos solutions consist of reselling commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) products from major original equipment
manufacturers (OEMs), which are augmented with various value added support service. Telos also provides professional services that support various U.S. Government integration programs. For example, Telos currently has a significant VAR
partnership with Hewlett Packard (HP) Public Sector for the purpose of reselling HP-centric solutions, principally to the Department of Defense.



Xacta: markets and sells Government-validated enterprise security solutions to the U.S. Government and financial institutions. Xacta,
a wholly-owned subsidiary of Telos, was established in February 2000 to address the growing demand for information security solutions. Over the last few years, Xacta brand name within the U.S. Government and the financial services vertical is one
which connotes to its customers that its solutions are secure. In order to capitalize on Xactas brand strength, Telos has consolidated its security-oriented solutions which were previously included in the Products Group into Xacta. As a
result, the Companys Deployable Wireless and Organizational Messaging solutions have moved into Xacta, and it is the Companys intention to market and sell these as Xacta solutions. This change also serves to simplify the respective
messages of Telos and Xacta for our customers and our employees. Moving forward, all security-related offerings will be marketed and sold as Xacta solutions.



Results from another former Systems and Support Services Group operating at Ft. Sill were also included in the Companys financial results until its
deconsolidation in July 2000. At such time, the Company contributed its Ft. Sill net assets to TelosOK LLC. On March 10, 2003, the Company sold its interest in TelosOK LLC. See Note 6 -Sale of Telos Interest in TelosOK LLC.



The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as those
described in Note 1. The Company evaluates the performance of its operating segments based on revenue, gross margin and segment profit (loss) before income taxes and interest income or expense.

Note 6. Sale of TelosOK LLC



On March 10, 2003 the Company and other TelosOK LLC investors (Purchaser) entered into a unit purchase agreement
whereby the Company sold all of its 50% interest in TelosOK LLC for a total cash consideration of $4.0 million. The Company had accounted for its investment in TelosOK LLC under the equity method and, at the time of this transaction, had a negative
basis for its investment. The parties also agreed to certain payments to the Company through March 2004, to recover the Companys fixed infrastructure costs associated with providing certain accounting and support services. During the first
quarter of 2004, the Company has recorded $0.1 million of these payments as other service revenue.



Pursuant to a separate agreement, the Company provided certain accounting and support services to TelosOK LLC through March 2004. An amount of $0.1
million has been recorded as other service revenue during the first quarter related to this agreement.



As additional consideration for the sale of the Telos membership units, the Company and TelosOK LLC committed to certain non-compete and
non-solicitation agreements between the two parties. The non-solicitation commitment provided for a sole exception relating to the employment by TelosOK LLC of the former President, CEO and Director of the Company. At the
effective date of closing, all Telos Corporation employees serving as officers of TelosOK LLC resigned said positions in TelosOK LLC.



Upon the sale of its interest in TelosOK LLC, the Company recognized a gain of approximately $10.1 million, comprised of $6.1 million of deferred gain and
$4 million of gain from the proceeds received on March 10, 2003. The deferred gain was recorded in July 2000 as a result of Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 81 which required the gain be deferred until the Company disposed of its interest in TelosOK
LLC.

Note 7. Stock-Based Compensation



The Company accounts for stock-based compensation consistent with Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No.
25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. Under APB 25, compensation cost is measured as the excess, if any, of the fair market value of the Companys common stock at the date of grant over the exercise price of the option
granted.



Pursuant to the Telos Corporation 1996 Stock Option
Plan, the Company, effective January 22, 2004, granted to certain employees 2.3 million options with a strike price of $0.62, which represents managements best estimate of the current market price and in addition, accelerated the vesting
schedule of options previously granted to certain key employees. Additionally, pursuant to the 2000 Xacta Stock Option Plan, the Company granted to certain employees 1.7 million options with a strike price of $0.75. While the Company had intended to

Had compensation expense for the Companys stock options
been recognized based on the fair value of the options at the grant dates, using the methodology prescribed by the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, the Companys net

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



Government oversight



As a U.S. Government contractor, the Company is subject to oversight by many agencies and entities of the U.S. Government which may investigate and make
inquiries of the Companys business practices and conduct audits of contract performance and cost accounting. Depending on the results of any such audits and investigations, the U. S. Government may make claims against the Company. Under U.S.
Government procurement regulations and practices, an indictment of a U.S. Government contractor could result in that contractor being fined and/or suspended for a period of time from eligibility for bidding on, or for the award of, new U.S.
Government contracts. A conviction could result in debarment for a specified period of time. Although the outcome of any such investigations and inquiries cannot be predicted, in the opinion of management, which is unaware of any pending
investigations and inquiries, no claims, audits or investigations against the Company are likely to have a material adverse affect on the Companys business or its consolidated results of operations, cash flows or financial position.



General



The Company continues to invest in creating value-added solutions in an effort to address the ever increasing market for
systems integration services and secure enterprise solutions. For example, with the release of Xacta Web C&A 4.0 in March of 2003, Xacta achieved its vision of developing a continuous business process which enables automated and continuous
security risk and compliance management. The Continuous Assessment functionality provided in the Xacta 4.0 release allows organizations to manage security compliance and risk in an automated and on-going manner. Additionally, Xacta
recently introduced Xacta IA Manager which provides continuous and automated vulnerability management and remediation, allowing organizations to identify and remediate vulnerabilities from a centralized location. When fully deployed Xacta IA Manager
will save systems administrators time and effort as well as keep the network aware of new vulnerabilities that can appear daily.



The Companys messaging solution is called the Automated Message Handling System (AMHS). AMHS version 2003 was approved by the Defense
Information Systems Agency and released in July of 2003 after extensive evaluation and testing. AMHS 2003 is the U.S. Governments exclusive certified stand-alone messaging application. The AMHS 2003 stand-alone architecture is more efficient
and cost effective than competitive client/server architectures as it enables users to access their messages securely from a single server using a simple web browser. In addition to its more intuitive user interface, AMHS 2003 provides outbound
message processing and numerous advanced message management capabilities such as retrospective search and simplified user profiling, which functionality is essential to large organizations with time sensitive formal message requirements. Such
retrospective search and user profiling capabilities facilitate message distribution to important staff elements, as well as research and coordination of formal message origination and response.



Backlog



The Companys total backlog was $43.7 million and $31.6 million at March 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Backlog was
$40.2 million at December 31, 2003. The total backlog of each of the segments at March 31, 2004 and 2003 was as follows: IT Solutions Group - $4.9 million and $8.1 million, respectively; and Xacta - $38.7 million and $23.5 million, respectively.



Such backlog amounts include both funded backlog (unfilled
firm orders for the Companys products for which funding has been both authorized and appropriated, and unfunded backlog (firm orders for which funding has not been appropriated). Funded backlog as of March 31, 2004 and 2003 was $43.4 million
and $27.9 million, respectively.

Exit from the Systems and Support Services Business



The Company sold its 50% interest in TelosOK LLC, on March 10, 2003, which is reported in Note 6 - Sale of TelosOK LLC. The
primary business of TelosOK LLC was to provide post-deployment and post-production software and systems development and support services including technology insertion, system redesign and software re-engineering. The largest customer of TelosOK LLC
was the U.S. Armys Communications and Electronics Command (CECOM) with significant operations at Ft. Sill in Lawton, Oklahoma. TelosOK LLC tasks were performed on a time and materials basis and on a firm fixed price basis.



Consolidated Results of Operations



The Companys operating cycle involves many types of solution, product
and service contracts with varying delivery schedules. Accordingly, results of a particular quarter, or quarter-to-quarter comparisons of recorded sales and operating profits, may not be indicative of future operating results and the following
comparative analysis should therefore be viewed in such context.



Results of Continuing Operations



The
condensed consolidated statements of operations include the results of Telos Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiaries. The Company substantially achieved its operating goals while experiencing slower than anticipated order volume.



The principal element of the Companys operating expenses as a
percentage of sales for the three months ended March 31, 2004 and 2003 are as follows:

The Companys
sales for the first quarter of 2004 were $26.8 million, an increase of $10.0 million or 59.2% over the first quarter 2003 sales of $16.8 million. Such increase consists of a $6.5 million increase in sales from the IT Solutions Group and a $3.5
increase in sales from Xacta. The increase in sales from the IT Solutions Group was primarily due to an $8.3 million government lease financed by third party, offset by the decrease in sales of certain product lines. The increase in Xacta sales is
primarily attributable to increased sales of wireless and messaging solutions.



The Companys cost of sales for the first quarter of 2004 was $21.3 million, an increase of $7.6 million compared to the same period in 2003, due primarily to the increased sales mentioned above.



The Companys gross profit for the first quarter in 2004 increased by
$2.4 million to $5.5 million compared to the same period in 2003. Gross margin increased to 20.4% from 18.3% in the comparable period. The increase in margin is due to the higher proportion of sales in the Xacta segment, which generally has higher
margin business.

The Companys selling, general, and administrative expense (SG&A) from continuing
operations for the first quarter of 2004 was $4.7 million, an increase of approximately $57,000 or 1.2% compared to the same period in 2003.



The Companys operating income for the first quarter of 2004 was $0.8 million, an increase of $2.3 million compared to the same period in 2003.



The Companys interest expense increased by approximately
$1.6 million to $2.2 million in the first quarter in 2004 compared to the same period in 2003. Such increase is due to the reclassification of preferred stock dividends and accretion of $1.6 million as interest for the three months ended March 31,
2004 in accordance with FAS 150.



The Company recorded a
provision for income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2004 and 2003 of $0 and $3.2 million, respectively. The provision for income taxes at March 31, 2003 was primarily attributable to the gain on sale of TelosOK LLC. The Company recorded
a full valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2003. During the three months ended March 31, 2004, the Company maintained its full valuation position by not providing any tax benefit on the pre-tax loss provided for
the quarter.



The Companys net loss for the first quarter
of 2004 was $1.4 million, a decrease of $6.7 million compared to $5.3 million net income in the same period in 2003, primarily due to a gain of $10.1 million from the sale of TelosOK LLC recognized during the first quarter of 2003. See Note 6 
Sale of Interest in TelosOK LLC.

Liquidity and Capital Resources



The Companys capital structure consists of a revolving credit facility, subordinated notes, redeemable preferred
stock, and common stock.



At March 31, 2004, the Company had
outstanding debt and long-term obligations of $87.2 million, consisting of $2.6 million under the Facility, $5.2 million in subordinated debt, $10.6 million in capital lease obligations and $68.8 million in preferred stock classified as liability in
accordance with FAS 150.



Revolving Credit Facility



On October 21, 2002, the Company entered into a $22.5 million Senior Credit
Facility Agreement (Facility) with Wells Fargo Foothill that matures on October 21, 2005. Borrowings under the Facility are collateralized by substantially all of the Companys assets including inventory, equipment and accounts
receivables. The amount of borrowings fluctuates based on the eligible underlying asset borrowing base, as defined in the Facility agreement. Unused borrowing availability on the Facility was $1,334,000 at March 31, 2004; however, such availability
fluctuates on a daily basis based on the amount of underlying assets in the borrowing base. Interest on the Facility is charged at 1.25%, subject to certain adjustments, over the banks base rate, which was 5.75% upon initial funding.



The Facility has various covenants, which, among other things,
affect the ability of the Company to merge with another entity, sell or transfer certain assets, pay dividends and make other distributions beyond certain limitations. The Facility also requires the Company to meet certain financial covenants,
including tangible net worth and cash flow targets based on EBITDA as defined in the Facility. The Company and Wells Fargo Foothill have agreed upon modified cash flow covenants through October 21, 2005.



For the three months ended March 31, 2004, cash provided by operating
activities was $4.2 million. Cash used in investing activities was approximately $85,000. Cash used in financing activities was approximately $4.1 million.



Based on current requirements, management considers the Companys borrowing capacity sufficient to fund its capital and liquidity needs.



Senior Subordinated Notes



The Companys subordinated notes (Subordinated Notes) are
held principally by common shareholders and totaled $5.2 million at March 31, 2004. These subordinated notes bear interest at rates between 14% and 17%, due and payable on October 31, 2004. During the first quarter of 2004, the Company paid $188,000
in interest to subordinated note holders. In addition, these notes have a cumulative prepayment premium of 13.5% per annum payable only upon certain circumstances, which if in effect, would be approximately $10.5 million at March 31, 2004. See Note
3  Debt Obligations.

##### Table of Contents

Redeemable Preferred Stock



The Company currently has two primary classes of redeemable preferred stock - Senior Redeemable Preferred Stock and Public
Preferred Stock. Each class carries cumulative dividend rates of 12% to 14.125%. At March 31, 2004 the total carrying amount of redeemable preferred stock, including accumulated and unpaid dividends was $68.8 million. The Company accrues dividends
and provides for accretion related to the redeemable preferred stock. During the first quarter of 2004, the Company recorded $1.1 million of dividends on the two classes of redeemable preferred stock. Mandatory redemption for all shares of the
Senior Redeemable Preferred Stock plus all accrued dividends on those shares is due on October 31, 2004. In accordance with certain requirements in the Facility, on or before August 15, 2004, to the extent the redemption date of the Senior
Redeemable Preferred Stock has not been extended to a date later than October 31, 2004, Senior Redeemable Preferred Stockholders have agreed to extend the redemption date to a date no earlier than October 31, 2005, subject to the legal availability
of funds. Mandatory redemption for the Public Preferred Stock is contractually scheduled from 2005 through 2009.



Since 1991, the Company has not declared or paid any dividends on its Public Preferred Stock, based upon its interpretation of restrictions in its
corporate charter, limitations in the terms of the Public Preferred Stock, specific dividend payment restrictions in the $22.5 million Facility entered into with Wells Fargo Foothill, and other senior obligations and limitations pursuant to Maryland
law. Pursuant to the terms of the Public Preferred Stock, the Company is to redeem the Public Preferred Stock in five annual tranches during the period 2005 through 2009. In accordance with such terms, the Public Preferred Stock, which has a 20 year
maturity, is scheduled to be redeemed on the 16th, 17th, 18th, and 19thanniversaries of November 21, 1989, leaving 20% to be redeemed at maturity. Due to its substantial senior obligations,
limitations set forth in the covenants in the Facility, foreseeable capital and operational requirements, corporate charter restrictions and prohibitions, and provisions of Maryland law, and assuming sufficient liquidity to undertake any stock
redemption (which is presently unquantifiable), the Company believes that the likelihood is that it will not be able to meet the redemption schedule set forth in the terms of the Public Preferred Stock.



The Company believes that its ability to successfully restructure its debt
obligations could affect the Companys future operating results and that for a variety of reasons, the Company believes it will more likely than not be unable to meet the redemption schedule set forth in the terms of the Companys Public
Preferred Stock.



On March 26, 2004, the Companys Board
of Directors authorized the Companys management to commence the process of planning for and, if appropriate, implementing the activities set forth below. Before any definitive action is undertaken in connection with such authorization
(including without limitation any issuance, redemption or exchange of any equity securities of the Company), further review and approval by the Board is required.



In an effort to address its capital structure and the adverse impact of SFAS150 (Accounting for Certain Financial
Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity), which reclassified the redeemable preferred stock from equity to liability (see Note 4  Redeemable Preferred Stock), the Company intends to immediately engage such professional
service providers it deems reasonable and appropriate to advise management with regard to such recapitalization and any other transaction. The Company contemplates that such engagement will include, but may not be limited to, consideration of a swap
of all debt instruments into common shares, the filing of an S-8 or other appropriate filings in order to issue the remaining authorized, but un-issued shares of Public Preferred Stock or to take such other steps as may be recommended to facilitate
such recapitalization. The company will use its best efforts to reach a decision on such recapitalization within 60 days. There is no assurance that any such transaction can or will be effected, or if effected what the form of such transactions
would be or when they might occur.



None of the Companys
present directors has any material financial interest in any holder of the Senior Redeemable Preferred Stock or the Subordinated Notes. Also, other than directors fees received for their service as members of the Board of Directors of the Company or
fees for service as members of the Companys Proxy Board, none of the non-executive directors receive any consulting or advisory fees or other compensation from the Company or any of its subsidiaries. Subject to further review, the full Board
will continue to address the Companys capital structure and any recommendations of the professional service providers pertaining thereto.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements



In January 2003, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 46 (FIN 46), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an
Interpretation of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51. FIN 46 requires certain variable interest entities to be consolidated by the primary beneficiary of the entity if the equity investors in the entity do not have the characteristics of a
controlling financial interest or do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties. In December 2003, the FASB completed deliberations of proposed
modifications to FIN 46 resulting in multiple effective dates in 2003 and 2004 based on the nature as well as the creation date of the variable interest entity. The revised FIN 46 will be effective for non-SPE variable interest entities created
prior to February 1, 2003 no later than the first quarter of 2004. For variable interest entities created or acquired after January 31, 2003, the provisions of FIN 46 must be applied. The adoption of FIN 46 did not materially affect the results of
operations or financial position of the Company.

Certain Factors That May Affect Future Results



The following important factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated by forward-looking
statements made in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and presented elsewhere by management from time to time.



A number of uncertainties exist that could affect the Companys future operating results, including, without limitation, general economic conditions
which in the present period of economic downturn may include, and adversely affect, the cost and continued availability of the Company to secure adequate capital and financing to support its business; the impact of adverse economic conditions on the
Companys customers and suppliers; the ability to sell assets or to obtain alternative sources of commercially reasonable refinancing for the Companys debt; or the ability to successfully restructure its debt obligations. Additional
uncertainties include the Companys ability to convert contract backlog to revenue, the success of the Companys investment in Enterworks and Xacta and the Companys access to ongoing development, product support and viable channel
partner relationships with its partners and suppliers.



While
in the past the Company has not experienced contract terminations with the U.S. Government, the U.S. Government can terminate at its convenience. Should such a termination occur the Companys operating results could be adversely impacted.



Due to heightened security awareness and the ongoing military
and peacekeeping actions in Iraq and Afghanistan, all U.S. Government programs, especially those pertaining to national security, have been subject to review and reprioritization as evidenced by the Homeland Defense Act, and the continued funding
requirements of the U.S. activities in Iraq and Afghanistan. While the Company believes its products and services are well positioned to benefit from such reprioritization of demands, the magnitude of recent and prospective events pertaining to
national security serves to emphasize how the Companys high percentage of revenue derived from business with the U.S. Government could alternatively be dramatically, swiftly and adversely impacted.



In addition, as a high percentage of the Companys revenue is derived
from business with the U.S. Government, the Companys operating results could also be adversely impacted should the U.S. Governments annual budget not be approved in a timely fashion.



The Company has many patents and patents pending, trademarks and copyrights
and other valuable proprietary information and has taken reasonable and prudent steps to protect its intellectual property. With regard to the Companys wholly-owned subsidiary, Xacta, whose software products require constant monitoring as it
develops future releases and creates additional intellectual property, vigilant oversight of such intellectual property rights is imperative. All of the Companys propriety solutions require constant oversight with regard to the development and
protection of their respective intellectual property. Accordingly, any event that brings into question the Companys ownership of its intellectual property could materially and adversely impact the Company.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk



The Company is exposed to interest rate volatility with regard to its variable rate debt obligations under its Senior Credit Facility. Interest on the
Facility is charged at 1.25%, subject to certain adjustments, over the banks base rate, which was 5.75% upon initial funding. The weighted average interest rates for the first three months of 2004 and 2003 were 6.5% and 6.9%, respectively. The
Facility had an outstanding balance of $2.6 million at March 31, 2004.



Item 4. Controls and Procedures



The Companys chief executive officer and chief financial officer have evaluated the Companys disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-14(c) and Rule 15d-14(c) under the Exchange Act), within 90 days prior to
the filing of this quarterly report, and concluded that those disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting them to any material changes in information required to be included in the Companys periodic Securities and
Exchange Commission filings.



Since such evaluation, such
officers are unaware of any significant subsequent changes in the Companys internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect internal controls, including any corrective actions with regard to significant deficiencies and
material weaknesses.



The Company intends to continue its
diligent review and evaluation of the design and effectiveness of the controls, with the intention of continuous improvements to such controls, and to correct in a timely manner any significant deficiencies and material weaknesses that may be
discovered. The Companys goal is to provide senior management with detailed information and timely access to all material information concerning the business. While the Company believes the present design of its disclosure controls and
procedures effectively achieves its objectives, future unforeseen events may cause the Company to significantly modify such disclosure controls and procedures.

PART IIOTHER INFORMATION



Item 1. Legal Proceedings



The Company is a party to various lawsuits arising in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, while the results of any such litigation cannot be predicted with certainty, the final outcome of any such known matters
will not, based upon all available information, have a material adverse effect on the Companys consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.



Item 3. Defaults upon Senior Securities



Senior Redeemable Preferred Stock



The Company
has not declared dividends on its Senior Redeemable Preferred Stock, Series A-1 and A-2, since issuance. At March 31, 2004, total undeclared unpaid dividends accrued for financial reporting purposes are $4.9 million for the Series A-1 and A-2
Preferred Stock.



12% Cumulative Exchangeable Redeemable Preferred Stock



Through November 21, 1995, the Company had the option to
pay dividends in additional shares of Preferred Stock in lieu of cash (provided there were no restrictions on payment as further discussed below). Dividends are payable by the Company, provided the Company has legally available funds under Maryland
law and is able to pay dividends under its charter and other corporate documents, when and if declared by the Board of Directors, commencing June 1, 1990, and on each six month anniversary thereof. Dividends in additional shares of the Preferred
Stock were paid at the rate of 6% of a share for each $.60 of such dividends not paid in cash. Dividends for the years 1992 through 1994 and for the dividend payable June 1, 1995 were accrued under the assumption that such dividend would be paid in
additional shares of preferred stock and were valued at $3,950,000. Had the Company accrued these dividends on a cash basis, the total amount accrued would have been $15,101,000. For the cash dividends payable since December 1, 1995 the Company has
accrued $34,924,000.



Since 1991, the Company has not declared
or paid any dividends on its Public Preferred Stock, based upon its interpretation of restrictions in its corporate charter, limitations in the terms of the Public Preferred Stock, specific dividend payment restrictions in the $22.5 million Facility
entered into with Wells Fargo Foothill, and other senior obligations and limitations pursuant to Maryland law. Pursuant to the terms of the Public Preferred Stock, the Company is to redeem the Public Preferred Stock in five annual tranches during
the period 2005 through 2009. In accordance with such terms, the Public Preferred Stock, which has a 20 year maturity, is scheduled to be redeemed on the 16th, 17th, 18th, and 19thanniversaries
of November 21, 1989, leaving 20% to be redeemed at maturity. Due to its substantial senior obligations, limitations set forth in the covenants in the Facility, foreseeable capital and operational requirements, corporate charter restrictions and
prohibitions, and provisions of Maryland law, and assuming sufficient liquidity to undertake any stock redemption (which is presently unquantifiable), the Company believes that the likelihood is that it will not be able to meet the redemption
schedule set forth in the terms of the Public Preferred Stock.
