PART I

ITEM 1.  DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS


SUMMARY OF CORPORATE HISTORY


Spectrum Sciences & Software Holdings Corp. (“Spectrum”, the “Company” or the “Registrant”) was formed under the name Silva Bay International, Inc. (a Delaware corporation) on August 26, 1998 for the purpose of locating and recovering rare and valuable aircraft.  Silva Bay International, Inc. did not have operations or revenues until April 2003, at which time the Company acquired Spectrum Sciences & Software, Inc. (“SSSI”), a Florida corporation.  On April 3, 2003, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding common stock of SSSI, in exchange for 2,500,000 shares of its common stock (taking into account a forward two-for-one stock split on April 9, 2003).


On April 8, 2003, the Company changed its name to Spectrum Sciences & Software Holdings Corp. and on April 9, 2003 the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD) changed the Company trading symbol from “SIVY” to “SPSC”.  On April 9, 2003, the Company forward split its common stock at a ratio of two-to-one.  On December 5, 2003, the NASD approved the Company’s common stock for quotation on the Over the Counter (OTC) Bulletin Board electronic quotation system.  The Company’s stock trades on the OTC Bulletin Board electronic quotation system under the symbol “SPSC.”


SSSI was formed on October 8, 1982 for the purpose of providing innovative, full-service, quality turn-key solutions to the complex and diverse engineering, science and technological support service industry as well as the production of specialized and standard ground support equipment for the United States Department of Defense.  Headquartered in Fort Walton Beach, Florida, the Company has three reportable segments – management services, manufacturing, and engineering and information technology services.  Management services include providing engineering, technical, and operational services in the area of defense range management specializing in bombing and gunnery training range operation and maintenance.  Manufacturing operations includes the design and construction of munitions ground support equipment and containers for the shipping and storage of munitions and equipment.  The Company’s engineering and information technology services segment consists of the sale of engineering and information technology services developed to assist in hazard management and weapons impact analysis.


On February 1, 2005, the Company acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of M&M Engineering Limited (“M&M”) from EnerNorth Industries Inc. for $6,768,202 in cash.  M&M is a Canadian corporation formed in 1968 that provides mechanical contracting and steel fabrication services to the industrial and offshore energy sector.


On February 25, 2005, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Coast Engine and Equipment Co., Inc. (“CEECO”) in exchange for cash and shares of the Company’s common stock, which is payable by the Company over a three-year period in an aggregate amount of up to $900,000.  The aggregate amount payable by the Company is subject to certain adjustments, including, without limitation, adjustments based on CEECO’s earnings during such three year period.  CEECO is a Florida-based company formed on March 28, 1989 that provides a diversified array of ship repair, metal fabrication and design services to both commercial and governmental clients.

BUSINESS


Spectrum Sciences & Software, Inc.


SSSI, which was the only subsidiary of Spectrum during 2004, provides varied engineering, manufacturing and technological support services, as well as the production of specialized and standard ground support equipment for the United States Department of Defense and other governmental and commercial contractors.  SSSI provides its customers with diversified capabilities in a number of advanced technologies.  Its professional competencies include all the disciplines and technology applications encompassed in its three operating divisions:


1)  Management Services. SSSI has a long history of range management/operations & maintenance (O&M) services provided under our Management Services Division.  As a core business area, SSSI operates and maintains military training ranges and associated infrastructure and assets.  The Company’s full complement of O&M services include:  range control, range and airbase security, range safety, air traffic control/meteorological services, facilities and infrastructure maintenance, construction, fire fighting and protection, vehicle maintenance and operations, target design and construction, transient aircraft operations, and water/sewage treatment.  SSSI operated one of the world’s largest air-to-ground training ranges (the Barry M. Goldwater Range) located near Gila Bend, Arizona through September 30, 2004.  Complementing our range O&M services, SSSI has diversified into other DoD support arenas.  SSSI currently provides for the scheduling and management of an aircraft “wash rack” function for the USAF Special Operations Command (AFSOC).  It maintains this operation in support of these high value aircraft assets at three separate locations that are all part of the extensive Eglin Test and Training range complex in northwest Florida.


2)  Manufacturing Division.  SSSI’s Manufacturing Division, an ISO 9001:2000 qualified manufacturer, focuses on the design, development, manufacturing, and systems integration of aerospace ground support equipment and missile, munitions, material handling equipment and shipping and storage containers and a variety of precision parts for the sustaining of military equipment.  As one of SSSI’s fastest growing divisions, SSSI’s Manufacturing Division has delivered over 500 DoD contracts without a single delivery schedule or technical discrepancy to date.  It has also provided manufactured products to commercial clients that include Boeing, Lockheed-Martin and L-3 Communications.  In March 2004, the Manufacturing Division became an approved vendor to two major international DoD contractors.


3)  Engineering and Information Technology Services.  Since its inception, SSSI has been performing sophisticated and specialty Engineering Services for a variety of government and commercial clients.  These services include hazard analysis, modeling and simulation, range planning, air space planning, and environmental analyses.  SSSI’s modeling and simulation solutions provide its clients with the ability to analyze and/or visualize complex technical data.  Similarly, its Information Technology Services specialize in the design, development, maintenance and support of software applications utilized in the analysis and visualization of complex technical data.  These applications support a broad range of user requirements that include weapon system range safety planning, environmental studies, facility evaluations, and noise and airspace analyses.


M&M Engineering Limited

M&M is a provider of a complete range of mechanical contracting and steel fabrication services to the industrial and offshore energy sector.  M&M's business includes fabrication and installation of process piping, installation of production equipment, steel tank erection, and industrial maintenance. M&M also operates through its wholly owned subsidiary M&M Offshore Limited, which provides specialized welding services, fabrication and servicing facilities to the offshore sector.  M&M operates from a company-owned fifteen-acre property with a 47,500 square foot fabrication facility, strategically located in Newfoundland's capital city of St. Johns, to serve both the thriving mining and oil industries in the area.  Major clients include ExxonMobil,  Petro Canada, Halliburton, Husky Energy, Inco Ltd, Iron Ore Company of Canada, North Atlantic Refining Ltd, Abitibi Consolidated and Corner Brook Pulp and Paper.

Coast Engine and Equipment Company, Inc.

4



 This location is centrally positioned providing access to Patrick Air Force Base, Kennedy Space Center, six cruise terminals, and Cocoa Beach, and is less than an hour from Orlando. CEECO's specialties include a full array of electrical and electronic repair, equipment and machinery repair and overhaul, HVAC and refrigeration servicing and repair, pipe fabrication and installation, certified welding services, metal and sheet metal fabrication and installation, custom insulation services, custom flooring services and machinery. The custom machine shop employs skilled craftsmen, provides engineering and design support, mobile welding and fabrication shop along with onsite and in-house management teams. Long-term customers include the U.S. Navy, U.S. Coast Guard, Military Sealift Command, Rinker Cement Plant and Disney Cruise Lines.


COMPETITION


The market for the Company’s products is highly competitive for all three subsidiaries.


SSSI faces a variety of domestic and foreign competitors including divisions of Ahntech, Arcata Associates, Artic Slope Manufacturing Technology, Tybrin, Science Applications International Corp., and Lockheed-Martin.  Many of SSSI’s competitors are larger than it and have substantially greater financial and other resources.


SSSI competes on the basis of quality product and services offerings, price, product and systems quality, technology and ongoing customer service and support. Its ability to compete for defense contracts depends on a variety of factors, including:


·

Corporate and key personnel backgrounds and qualifications;

·

The effectiveness and innovation of our research and development programs;

·

Proven past performance history;

·

Ability to offer better program performance than our competitors at a lower cost; and

·

The readiness of SSSI’s facilities, equipment and personnel to undertake the programs for which it competes.


In programs where SSSI is the sole-source provider, other suppliers may compete against it only if the customer chooses to reopen the particular program to competition.  It is estimated that approximately 12% of our total manufacturing contract revenue for the year ended December 31, 2004 was derived from sole-source business.


Furthermore, SSSI’s Engineering and Information Technology Services Division contains advanced technology derived from internal research and development that creates high barriers to entry.  Since January 1, 1998, the Company has spent approximately $725,700 in research and development, in large part, in support of advanced technology utilized in this division.


Likewise M&M and its subsidiary M&M Offshore Limited face a wide array of competitors across all three of it’s core capabilities.  In the arena of industrial mechanical construction, its major competitors include Comstock Canada, Ltd., Black & McDonald Ltd., and Canadian Process Services.  Competitors in the industrial maintenance sector include Horton Steel, MBB, and Babcock & Wilcox.  Finally, in shop fabrication work, M&M often competes most frequently with Metal World, Ltd., CSI Fabricators, and Steelfab, Ltd.


CEECO currently finds itself in a limited competitive market with its major competitor being Standard Marine.  More important to CEECO is the fact that its government clients are steering more competitive work to minority “Hub Zone” businesses on a direct award or limited competition basis.  With this fact in mind, CEECO has formed an alliance with a Tampa, Florida based “Hub Zone” business to enhance its ability to be able to continue to compete in this environment.


SUPPLIERS AND MATERIALS


Spectrum’s in-house manufacturing primarily consists of assembly of purchased parts.  Accordingly, its does not use significant amounts of raw materials. The Company purchases manufactured component parts for assembly from various independent suppliers.  It also “cuts”, “bends”, and “welds” purchased metal components.   The manufacturing division operates under a “Lean” manufacturing process and maintains minimum inventories of raw



5



materials and aluminum and steel. These parts are normally not purchased under long-term contracts unless a long-term sales contract with one of its customers requires it.  Spectrum is not dependent on any one supplier and maintains back-up suppliers for all critical components.  Further, it utilizes competitive pricing among its suppliers and vendors to obtain the best value for the customer’s dollar.  The Company does not consider the prices of its purchased component parts to be volatile.  However, any delay in its suppliers’ abilities to obtain necessary parts may affect its ability to meet customer production needs.


Some of the Company’s principal suppliers are Tubular Steel, Alro Metals, Dealers Supply, Home Depot, Ingersol-Rand, McMaster-Carr and Aaxico.


REGULATORY MATTERS AND GOVERNMENT CONTRACTS


Substantially all of Spectrum’s contract revenue for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003 resulted from contracts with the Department of Defense, prime contractors that identified the Department of Defense as the ultimate purchaser or other United States Government agencies.  United States Government business is performed under fixed-price contracts.


Under U.S. Government regulations, certain costs, including certain financing costs, portions of research and development costs, lobbying expenses, certain types of legal expenses and certain marketing expenses related to the preparation of bids and proposals, are not allowed for pricing purposes and calculation of contract reimbursement rates under flexibly-priced contracts. The U.S. Government also regulates the methods under which costs are allocated to U.S. Government contracts.  Spectrum is subject to a variety of audits performed by U.S. Government agencies.  The Defense Contract Audit Agency, or DCAA, performs these audits on behalf of the U.S. Government.


U.S. Government contracts are, by their terms, subject to termination by the U.S. Government for either its convenience or default by the contractor.  Fixed-price contracts provide for payment upon termination for items delivered to and accepted by the U.S. Government and, if the termination is for convenience, for payment of fair compensation of work performed plus the costs of settling and paying claims by terminated subcontractors, other settlement expenses and a reasonable profit on the costs incurred.  If a contract termination is for default, however,


·

The contractor is paid an amount agreed upon for completed and partially completed products and services accepted by the U.S. Government;

·

The U.S. Government is not liable for the contractor’s costs with respect to unaccepted items, and is entitled to repayment of advance payments and progress payments, if any, related to the terminated portion of the contract; and

·

The contractor may be liable for excess costs incurred by the U.S. Government in procuring undelivered items from another source.


In addition to the right of the U.S. Government to terminate, U.S. Government contracts are conditioned upon the continuing availability of Congressional appropriations.  Congress usually appropriates funds for a given program on a September 30 fiscal year basis, even though contract performance may take many years.  Consequently, at the outset of a major program, the contract is usually partially funded and additional monies are normally committed to the contract by the procuring agency only as appropriations are made by Congress for future fiscal years.


INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY


SSSI owns the design, certain algorithms, processing procedures and source code to our mainstay software applications, Safe Range and Safe Borders. We also license various other Geographic Information System (GIS) technologies used in and distributed within the executable versions of our software applications. In a recent challenge concerning source code rights by the U.S. Navy, SSSI successfully had software source code ownership issues adjudicated by our Contracting Officer and legal department at the USAF Air Combat Command (ACC).  


We believe that the intellectual property rights used in our software applications were independently developed or duly licensed by us or by the technology companies who supplied portions of our software systems.



6



We are in the process of registering the Safe Range and Safe Borders trademarks and have secured numerous, applicable domain names to ensure market entry when appropriate. We believe that the “Safe Range” trade name connotes the maturity and, most importantly, the perfect safety record, associated with our Safe Range software application, which has been subject to over twenty (20) years of progressive enhancements and improvement.  Our trade names, “Safe Range” and “Safe Borders,” are prominently displayed on all physical media, CDs, briefings, documentation, etc., as well as all electronic media associated with the individual software products. We intend to maintain our trademarks and registrations (when complete) and all internet domain names now registered. We are not aware of any material claims of infringement or other challenges to our right to use the “Safe Range” or “Safe Borders” trademarks in the United States.


STATUS OF NEW PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT


Spectrum has continued to enhance the technical functionality of the existing application by focusing on initiatives generated through our on-going market research. Safe Borders has continued to be expanded through the use of more robust methodologies and simulations.  First and second quarter calendar year 2005 activities related to Safe Borders include securing a significant teaming agreement with a major systems integrator pursuing the Americas Shield Initiative (ASI) as a Prime contractor. The ASI is a Border Patrol initiative which will first retrofit and upgrade the existing Border Patrol Integrated Surveillance Intelligence System (ISIS) used on the U.S. northern border with Canada and then completely reengineer this system. We are in various stages of technical and business discussions with three potential Primes while establishing communications with a number of second tier Systems Integrators for the same procurement. We would anticipate that any teaming agreement would include provisions for Safe Borders software licensing revenues, support and maintenance and Border Patrol tailoring revenue, as well as on-going software module development/integration and border security expertise revenues. We would like to position ourselves in nonexclusive, subcontract teaming agreement(s) for the ASI procurement, but this may not be possible.


In addition, we have completed the first round of working group meetings with border control/law enforcement agencies in Arizona and are scheduling a second round of follow-up, due diligence meetings with these agencies. These meetings have provided Spectrum with access to extensive border agency/law enforcement expertise required of any ASI program team member.


Spectrum conducted a Safe Borders presentation/demonstration at the Customs and Border Protection (CBP), Applied Technology Division and Office of Border Patrol (OBP) sections at the invitation of the Acting Assistant Commissioner of the CBP in November 2004. Safe Borders now has the favorable exposure with appropriate CBP, Border Patrol and ASI personnel. In addition, the OBP has requested that we suspend our due diligence activities with field Border Patrol personnel in anticipation of the pending ASI procurement (i.e., the “blackout” period prior to the release of the formal request for proposal).  


RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT EXPENDITURES


The Company spent approximately $225,700 for Research and Development expenditures in 2004 (approximately 65% of which is associated with our Safe Borders development efforts) as compared to an expenditure of approximately $71,400 in 2003.


MARKETING STRATEGY


Spectrum’s marketing and business development strategies are focused on accentuating our individual strengths in each profit area while we exploit opportunities for long-term, high-margin growth in new areas of Information Technology, Engineering Services and Manufacturing.  We are dedicated to incremental, sustained growth of our business areas, product lines, and services while continuously improving on the internal and external processes which govern the quality of SSSI products and services.


Manufacturing


Spectrum plans to continue our current marketing efforts to the Department of Defense for additional Aircraft and Munitions Support Equipment.  During 2004 we added over 12 different product lines to our list of items that we are certified to build for DoD.  We will continue to market our products to major defense contractors; currently we are a qualified vendor for such companies as Lockheed Martin, General Dynamics, ARINC and numerous local



7



companies.  We will also continue to add product lines to support the major weapons systems that these companies provide to DoD.  We are currently producing products to support U.S. Foreign Military Sales (FMS), an area that we believe has great growth potential, and we intend to actively pursue these FMS requirements.  We continue to support Field Military units in their immediate requirements through our Web Site and attendance at annual conferences.  Our long term goals are to acquire multiple year contracts for all products and services that will enhance our profitability and stabilize our continued growth.


We plan to explore ways to diversify our manufacturing efforts by expanding our products for the commercial market.  Currently we are working on three different commercial products and intend to sponsor a Spectrum Innovation Day to explore these and other commercial products.


Our strategy also includes partnering with a small business that is currently classified as a “Small Disadvantage Business” by certain governmental and commercial clients.  Such classification allows the small business to secure various contracts that larger contractors, such as the Company, may not qualify for.  Pursuant to our partnering relationship with the small business, we are afforded the opportunity to perform various services as a subcontractor for contracts secured by the small business that the Company would not otherwise have the opportunity to bid for.


Safe Borders


Spectrum plans to license the Safe Borders technology where the technology applies to a very specific mission area. Example mission areas would be “Illegal immigration on the southern US border”, “Harbor/port surveillance and protection”, and “Search and rescue”. Upon licensing the technology to a government agency identified with the particular mission area, the Safe Borders application would be specifically tailored to that mission area creating another on-going revenue stream.


In addition, the Company plans to partner with one or more large System Integration/Defense contractors to:


·

Provide access to potential customers; and


·

Provide major systems integration credibility for the myriad of potential systems integration activities that could surround the implementation of the Safe Borders application.


Working with differing integrators may also provide a Safe Borders “branding”/licensing opportunity.


ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS


Spectrum’s management services and manufacturing operations include the use, generation and disposal of hazardous materials.  The Company is subject to various U.S. federal, state and local laws and regulations relating to the protection of the environment, including those governing the discharge of pollutants into the air and water, the management and disposal of hazardous substances and wastes, the cleanup of contaminated sites and the maintenance of a safe workplace.  Spectrum believes that it has been and is in substantial compliance with environmental laws and regulations and that it has no known liabilities under environmental requirements that it would expect to have a material adverse affect on its business, results of operations or financial condition.  In the past three years, Spectrum has not incurred material costs relating to environmental compliance.


EMPLOYEES


As of December 31, 2004, SSSI had approximately 65 employees.  Approximately 51% of its employees are engaged in manufacturing, 11% are engaged in engineering, research and development, 20% are engaged in management services, and 18% are engaged in sales, marketing, product support and general administration. None of the Company’s employees are represented by a union or are covered by a collective bargaining agreement.  All of SSSI’s employees are based in the United States.  The Company considers its current employee relations to be satisfactory.  M&M Engineering Limited currently has approximately 70 employees and approximately 70% of these employees are covered by a collective bargaining agreement.  CEECO has a total of 13 employees and none of them are covered by a collective bargaining agreement.

 ITEM 3.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Harassment Suit


In December 2002, three Spectrum Sciences and Software, Inc. employees each filed complaints for violation of civil rights, discrimination, harassment, hostile work environment and retaliation in the United States District Court, District of Arizona.  The case numbers for these complaints are: CIV ‘02 2621PHX MHM; CIV ‘02 2619 PHX DKD; and CIV ‘02 2620 PHX FJM.  In January 2003, Spectrum filed answers to all three complaints, denying all allegations of wrongdoing. The plaintiffs requested the following: compensatory damages, plus special incidental damages in such a sum as may be proven at trial; punitive damages in such a sum as may be proven at trial; cost for the suit; cost of attorney’s fees; and such other relief as the court deems just and proper.  The case was brought for trial on January 31, 2005 and the case was adjudicated in favor of the plaintiffs with a total award of $383,100 plus attorney’s fees.  The awards were for $300,000, $80,000, and $3,100 respectively for the three plaintiffs.  On March 7, 2005 the plaintiffs lodged a Form of Judgment with the court.  Spectrum filed an objection to the Form of Judgment on the basis that the judgment amounts exceed the statutory limits allowed under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.  Spectrum asserted that under 42 U.S.C. 1981a(3) the maximum individual award should not exceed $50,000 per plaintiff as the operations in Arizona did not exceed 100 total employees during the relevant periods for the case.  The court has not yet ruled on Spectrum’s objection to the Form of Judgment.

Section 16 (b) Claim


In July, 2004, a complaint was filed in the United States District Court, Southern District of Florida by Todd Augenbaum against Robert Genovese (“Genovese”), Endeavor Capital Group, LLC, BG Capital Group, Ltd, and Spectrum.  The suit alleges that Genovese and his affiliated companies beneficially owned more than 10% of the outstanding common stock of Spectrum and that Genovese acted as an officer and director of the Company.  Based on these assertions, the suit claims that Genovese was a statutory insider of Spectrum, and as such, is presumed to have had access to material non-public information concerning the Company’s operations and future business prospects, and is therefore subject to the provisions of Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act.  The action was brought by Mr. Augenbaum in order to obtain a recovery for the Company of short-swing profits alleged to have been unlawfully obtained by Genovese through the purchase and sale of Company securities.  The Company is a nominal defendant in the action and has no liability for the claims asserted therein against the other defendants.  The Company’s answer to the complaint was filed in the U. S. District Court, Ft. Lauderdale, FL on August 26, 2004. The plaintiff filed an Amended Complaint on October 18, 2004 and the Company filed its response as a nominal defendant November 12, 2005.  The defendants filed a motion to dismiss the action and the court denied the motion on January 6, 2005.  The Company cannot currently make a prediction of what the outcome of the litigation will be.


Claim by the former President of the Company, Mr. Donal R. Myrick.


On August 24, 2004, the former President and CEO of the Company, Mr. Donal R. Myrick filed a complaint for alleged breach of employment contracts and damages associated with a delayed stock sale.  The case was filed in the Circuit Court, First Judicial Circuit in and for Okaloosa County, Florida under case number 04CA3510.  The suit alleges three counts against the Company:


·

Spectrum has breached its obligation under an oral employment agreement for the period November 2002 to December 2003 by failing and refusing to pay salary or benefits;

·

Spectrum has breached its obligation under a written employment agreement starting December 2003 by failing to fully compensate Mr. Myrick under that agreement up to the time of his resignation; and

·

Spectrum, by its failure to issue an opinion letter to allow the sale of Mr. Myrick’s stock in the open market, is liable for the damages that occurred due to the difference in value as to the date the registration of transfer should have occurred and the eventual date that Mr. Myrick was able to liquidate the stock in the open market.


Mr. Myrick’s suit demands damages of and from Spectrum together with interest and costs and such other and further relief as the Court deems just and proper.  The Company intends to vigorously defend its position in the case and filed its answer to Mr. Myrick’s complaint on October 25, 2004.  Discovery is continuing and one deposition has been completed in advance of a court ordered attempt to mediate the claim.  The Company currently does not know what the outcome of this litigation will be.

On August 23, 2004, Spectrum Sciences & Software, Inc. filed suit against the United States Government in the United States Court of Federal Claims (case number 04-1366C) based on the Government’s actions associated with the procurement of the improved Munitions Assembly Conveyor (MAC).  The MAC is a munitions handling and support equipment system used to build up munitions prior to loading on an aircraft.  As a result of Spectrum’s experience in both utilizing and producing the MAC, Spectrum identified numerous areas needing improvement and upgrading to this old system.  Based on Spectrum’s work, the Government entered into a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) for the purpose of improving munitions support equipment including the MAC.  As part of the CRADA negotiation, Spectrum identified its prior development and unique modifications and improvements that constituted Spectrum’s trade secrets and intellectual property associated with the MAC.  Following completion of the CRADA effort and delivery of the final report, the Government made overtures to purchase Spectrum’s rights in the redesigned MAC, however, the offer was rejected as being inadequate to compensate Spectrum for its efforts in redesigning the MAC and for the potential for further licensing opportunities.  Following the failure of these discussions, Spectrum alleges that the Government deliberately breached its obligation



10



to Spectrum under the CRADA to safeguard and protect Spectrum’s intellectual property and proprietary information by improperly disclosing and widely disseminating to third parties, including Spectrum competitors, Spectrum’s proprietary information via a draft Request for Proposal Solicitation dated May 1, 2004.  Based on the Government’s actions, Spectrum filed suit on three counts alleging:


·

Breach of Express Contract

·

Breach of Implied in Fact Contract

·

Misappropriation of Trade Secrets


Spectrum has requested damages in excess of $10,000,000 on the counts plus the award of its costs, fees, expenses and attorney’s fees associated with this action.


The Department of Justice filed its response on December 6, 2004.  Based on discovery to date, Spectrum has amended its suit (filed March 14, 2005) and discovery is continuing.  The Company currently does not know what the outcome of this litigation will be.


Garrison Lawsuit


On February 22, 2005, Spectrum Sciences & Software, Inc. filed suit against former employees Donald L. Garrison, David M. Hatfield and their current employer Control Systems Research, Inc. in the Circuit Court of the First Judicial Circuit in and for Okaloosa County, Florida (case number 2005-CA-000779 S).  Spectrum alleges that during their employment at Spectrum, Mr. Garrison and Mr. Hatfield were actively involved with the development and application of the Safe Range project (a proprietary Spectrum product) and other non-technical company information such as employee wage data and personnel files, marketing plans, bidding information, and information about other Spectrum contracts and affairs.  The suit alleges that Garrison and Hatfield used Spectrum’s confidential and proprietary information (in violation of their signed agreements for Protection of Proprietary Information) to allow their new employer (Control Systems Research, Inc.) to improperly compete against Spectrum with regards to the Safe Range program and other related government contracts.  The five counts identified in the lawsuit include:


·

Breach of Contract

·

Violation of Uniform Trade Secrets Act

·

Tortious Interference

·

Conversion

·

Civil Conspiracy


Total damages to Spectrum were not specified and the defendants have not yet responded to the suit.  The Company currently does not know what the outcome of this litigation will be.


Informal Inquiry Initiated by the Securities and Exchange Commission


On April 28, 2004, Spectrum was informed by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Division of Enforcement that they were conducting an informal inquiry into the Company.  In conjunction with that inquiry, the SEC has requested that the Company voluntarily provide the SEC with the documents and information they requested.  More specifically, the SEC requested, among other things:

Although these statements accurately reflect management’s current understanding and beliefs, we caution you that certain important factors may affect our actual results and could cause such results to differ materially from any forward-looking statements which may be deemed to be made in this report. For this

purpose, any statements contained in this report which are not statements of historical fact may be deemed to be forward-looking statements. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, words such as, “may”, “intend”, “expect”, “believe”, “anticipate”, “could”, “estimate”, “plan” or “continue” or the negative variations of those words or comparable terminology are intended to identify forward-looking statements. There can be no assurance of any kind that such forward-looking information and statements will be reflective in any way of our actual future operations and/or financial results, and any of such information and statements should not be relied upon either in whole or in part in connection with any decision to invest in the stock of the Company.


The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements, including the related notes, appearing elsewhere in this report.  The following discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties.  Our actual results could differ significantly from those discussed in the forward-looking statements as a result of the various factors set forth elsewhere in this report.


OVERVIEW


Spectrum Sciences & Software Holdings Corp. provides engineering, manufacturing and technological support services for the United States Department of Defense.


We earn our revenue on fixed-price contracts with the United States Department of Defense.  In a fixed-price contract, the price is not subject to adjustment based on cost incurred to perform the required work under the contract.  Under fixed-price contracts we agree to perform for a predetermined contract price.  Although fixed-price contracts generally permit the Company to keep profits if costs are less than projected, the Company bears the risk that increased or unexpected costs may reduce profit or cause the Company to sustain losses on the contracts.


We use the percentage-of-completion method of accounting for fixed-price contracts and, therefore, match revenue with the cost incurred on each unit produced at the time the Company recognized its sale based on the estimate of gross profit margin the Company expects to receive over the life of the contract.  The Company currently evaluates its estimates of gross margin on a monthly basis.  In addition, the Company uses the cumulative catch-up method to recognize its changes in estimates of sales and gross margins during the period in which those changes are determined.  The Company charges any anticipated losses on a contract to operations as soon as those losses are determined. The principal components of the Company’s contract cost of revenue are materials, subcontractor costs, labor and overhead. The Company charges all of these costs to the respective contracts as incurred.


We expense operating costs such as selling, general and administrative, internal research and development costs and bid and proposal costs in the period incurred.  The major components of these costs are compensation and overhead.  Capitalized debt issuance costs are amortized over their useful lives. Since January 1, 2002, the Company has been subject to a new accounting standard under which it no longer amortizes goodwill, although it must test its goodwill periodically for impairment.


The Company’s results of operations, particularly its revenue and gross profits, and its cash flows may vary significantly from period to period depending upon the timing of delivery of finished products and the terms of contracts.  As a result, period-to-period comparisons may show substantial changes disproportionate to the Company’s underlying business activity. Accordingly, the Company does not believe that its quarterly results of operations are necessarily indicative of results for future periods.


While Spectrum Sciences & Software Holdings Corp. has undertaken an aggressive acquisition program in 2005, Spectrum Sciences & Software, Inc., which was our only operating company in 2004, had losses of over $1.5 million.  Spectrum reported a consolidated net loss of $40,307,047 for fiscal 2004.  Substantially all of the losses of Spectrum were related to charges incurred in 2004 that are not anticipated to be incurred in 2005, which are outlined in the following table:

PLAN OF OPERATION


We provide engineering, manufacturing and technological support services for the United States government.  Our revenues are earned primarily from contracts with the U.S. Department of Defense.  Our goal is to grow our current business through strategic acquisitions of private defense and government contractors, including the recently completed acquisitions of M&M and CEECO.  Our plan of operations has two major components:  financing our current operations, and completing our acquisition strategy.


MINIMUM 12 MONTHS REQUIREMENTS


Total cash, cash equivalents, certificates of deposit and other short term investments equaled approximately $24.5 million at December 31, 2004.  We had cash and cash equivalents totaling $5,666,910.  The Company also held $879,133 in Certificates of Deposit and $17,916,030 in U.S. Government and agency securities.  An analysis of our accounts payable and accrued and other liabilities indicates that our largest accounts payable at December 31, 2004 were Washington Group International (WGI) for $543,428 of which $364,754 was due for WGI’s portion of the Department of Labor Wage Determination reimbursement and $178,674 for the final September payment for the base contract – for which Spectrum as of April 7, 2005 has not been reimbursed from the contracting office at Barry M. Goldwater Bombing Range.  Spectrum also owed Environmental Management Inc. (EMI) $116,303 at December 31, 2004.  This was for EMI’s portion of the base contract, which ended September 30, 2004.  As of March 29, 2005 Spectrum has paid both of these vendors in full, both for the base contract payments and the Wage Determination portions.


We netted approximately $31.8 million in cash from the exercise of options in 2004.  Based upon the revenue, expense and cash flow projections of our business plan, we expect that we will have sufficient working capital for the foreseeable future and will not need to raise additional financing to support continued operations.



15



NON-CASH STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION EXPENSE


We incurred non-cash compensation charges of approximately $34.5 million during 2004 compared to $-0- in 2003.  These charges relate to stock options granted to employees, consultants, directors and officers.


CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES


Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations are based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principals generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions which affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and determine whether contingent assets and liabilities, if any, are disclosed in the financial statements.  On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and assumptions, including those related to long-term contracts, product returns, bad debts, inventories, fixed asset lives, income taxes, environmental matters, litigation and other contingencies. We base our estimates and assumptions on historical experience and on various factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, including current and expected economic conditions, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ materially from our estimates under different assumptions or conditions.


We believe that the following critical accounting policies, among others, affect our more significant estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of our financial statements:


Revenue Recognition. We recognize revenue and profit on substantially all of our contracts using the percentage-of-completion method of accounting, which relies on estimates of total expected contract revenues and costs. We follow this method since reasonably dependable estimates of the revenues and costs applicable to various stages of the contracts can be made. Recognized revenues and profit are subject to revisions as the projects progress to completion. Revisions to the profit estimates are charged to income in the period in which the facts that give rise to the revisions become known.


Inventory Valuation. We review our inventory balances to determine if inventories can be sold at amounts equal to or greater than their carrying value. The review includes identification of slow-moving inventories, obsolete inventories, and discontinued products or lines of products. The identification process includes analysis of historical performance of the inventory and current operational plans for the inventory as well as industry and customer-specific trends. If our actual results differ from management expectations with respect to the selling of our inventories at amounts equal to or greater than our carrying amounts, we would be required to adjust our inventory values accordingly.  In 2004, the Company wrote off approximately $90,000 of obsolete inventory.


Net Operating Loss Carryforwards. We have not recognized the benefit in our financial statements with respect to the approximately $7,248,000 net operating loss carryforward for federal income tax purposes as of December 31, 2004.  This benefit was not recognized due to the possibility that the net operating loss carryforward would not be utilized, for various reasons, including the potential that we might not have sufficient profits to use the carryforward or that the carryforward may be limited as a result of changes in our equity ownership. We intend to use this carryforward to offset our future taxable income. If we were to use any of this net operating loss carryforward to reduce our future taxable income and the Internal Revenue Service were to then successfully assert that our carryforward is subject to limitation as a result of capital transactions occurring in 2002 or otherwise, we may be liable for back taxes, interest and, possibly, penalties prospectively.


Impairment of Long Lived Assets. We assess the impairment of long-lived assets on an ongoing basis and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable based upon an estimate of future undiscounted cash flows. Factors we consider that could trigger an impairment review include the following: (i) significant underperformance relative to expected historical or projected future operating results; (ii) significant changes in the manner of our use of the acquired assets or the strategy for our overall business; and (iii) significant negative industry or economic trends.  In 2004, the Company wrote off approximately $38,700 construction in progress for engineering drawings that were never utilized.  When we determine that the carrying value of any long-lived asset may not be recoverable based upon the existence of one or more of the above indicators of impairment, we measure impairment based on the difference between an asset’s carrying value and an



16



estimate of fair value, which may be determined based upon quotes or a projected discounted cash flow, using a discount rate determined by our management to be commensurate with our cost of capital and the risk inherent in our current business model, and other measures of fair value.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


The following tables set forth selected financial data from continuing operations on a consolidated and segment basis for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003. The segment tables, shown below, exclude certain charges, which are shown separately.  These excluded charges include selling, general and administrative expenses

Overall revenue from continuing operations for the twelve months ended December 31, 2004 decreased by approximately 16% compared to the same period in 2003 primarily due to the loss of the Gila Bend contract in September 2004 for the Operations and Maintenance of the Gila Bend Air Force Auxiliary Field, AZ and the Barry M. Goldwater Range.  In the previous year this contract accounted for approximately 70% of total revenues as compared to approximately 60% of 2004 revenues.  Partially offsetting this decrease in revenues was a 23% increase in the Manufacturing revenues of $497,166 for the same period.  


Gross margins as a percentage of revenue decreased by approximately 103% for the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2004 as compared to the same period in 2003.  Factors impacting the reduced overall margins include the loss of the Gila Bend contract for the Management Services segment and the non-recurring costs associated with producing ten (10) first articles that were required to be produced in the Manufacturing segment in 2004.  These ten first articles were built and tested as SSSI’s verification to the Government of our ability to support production of these items for long term, multi-year contracts.

Gross margin for the period decreased approximately 10% as compared to 2003.  However, gross margins as a percent of revenues increased by 5% due to decreased direct labor costs.

Revenue in the Management Services segment decreased approximately 25% for the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2004 compared to 2003 as the Gila Bend contract ended on September 30, 2004.  Further impacting the decrease in revenue was the reduced bid price for the last year of the Gila Bend contract as compared to the previous year.


Gross margins as a percent of revenue decreased by approximately 144% for the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2004.  Primary factors impacting the reduction in gross margin was the shortened contract period of only nine months, the lower bid rates for the last year of the contract compared to 2003, and an extensive amount of vehicle maintenance that was not anticipated on the aging Government fleet.  The Management segment also encountered significant one time non-recurring costs associated with Department of Labor actions totaling $204,011 and the adjudication of the harassment suit which contributed another $323,323 in non-recurring costs for the year.

Sales in the Manufacturing segment increased approximately 23% for the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2004 as compared to 2003.  The increase in revenue is attributed to the award of several large multi-year contracts during the period.


Gross margin, as a percentage of revenue, decreased by 370% in 2004 as compared to 2003.  Primary factors contributing to the decrease in gross margins were the one time costs associated with inventory write-off from the purchase of Ver Val assets (approximately $90,000) five years ago and the extensive effort involved in the ten (10) “first articles” provided to the government in 2004.  During the period, Spectrum built and tested ten new products for the government as these were the first time verifications of our ability to build these products in support of longer, multi-year contracts.  Completing these “first articles” positions the Company to continually receive follow-on orders over the next 5 to 7 years on these products.  The Manufacturing segment also lost over two weeks of production due to two hurricanes affecting our area (including Hurricane Ivan impacting just west of Pensacola, Florida), physical damage to our facilities, and a loss of vital vendor support.  Many of our primary vendors in the Pensacola, Florida area were without power for over six weeks and significantly impacted production schedules.  Other vendors in the central and south Florida area were similarly impacted by the storms that impacted those areas.

expensing of stock based consultant compensation; the expensing of $1,398,796 of stock option compensation for certain directors, officers, and employees of the Company; and $1,487,362 of expenses attributable to the operations of the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary Spectrum Sciences & Software, Inc.  


During the year ended December 31, 2004, there was a $32,944,900 non-cash expense recorded for stock-based consulting compensation.  However, the exercise of the options granted to the consultants also increased additional paid-in capital by $35,280,677.  In addition, the Company recorded approximately $2,762,626 of investor relations expenses during 2004.  These expenses related to the implementation of initial investor awareness/relations services such as broker/analyst meetings, contracts, and mailing to brokers and analysts, investment advisors and individual investors.  Additional expenses were also incurred for legal fees and the assessment and due diligence involved in prospective acquisitions.


OTHER INCOME AND EXPENSES


Interest Income and Expense, Net. Net interest income was $124,362 in the year ended December 31, 2004, compared to net interest expense of $294,639 in the same period 2003.  Interest expense was reduced with the payoff of the Company’s lines of credit and the Company’s real estate holdings.

SECTION 16(a) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE

CODE OF ETHICS


The Company has adopted a Code of Ethics applicable to its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, a copy of which is filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission as an exhibit to its 2003 annual report or Form 10-KSB.


FINANCIAL EXPERT


The Company does not have a standing audit committee of the Board of Directors.  Management has determined not to establish an audit committee at present because the limited resources of the Company and its limited operating activities do not warrant the formation of an audit committee or the expense of doing so.  Spectrum does not have a financial expert serving on the Board of Directors or employed as an officer based on management’s belief that the cost of obtaining the services of a person who meets the criteria for a financial expert under Item 401(e) of Regulation S-B is beyond its limited financial resources and the financial skills of such an expert are simply not required or necessary for the Company to maintain effective internal controls and procedures for financial reporting in light of the limited scope and simplicity of accounting issues raised in its financial statements at this stage of its development.

Mr. Myrick resigned as President, CEO and Chairman of the Company on March 23, 2004.


In 2004, William Ham signed an employment contract through December 31, 2005 that was subsequently extended by the Board of Directors to the time set for the next annual shareholders meeting in 2006.  His agreement is to serve as the President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company.  Mr. Ham’s compensation pursuant to this employee agreement is $8,333.33 per month ($100,000 annually) and includes bonus provisions based on Company profitability.  The agreement also calls for severance pay to Mr. Ham, if he is terminated without cause equal to six months of his base salary.


Donald Garrison submitted his resignation as the Chief Operating Officer effective February 2, 2004.


In 2004, Mrs. Gontarek signed an employment contract through December 31, 2005 that was subsequently extended by the Board of Directors to the time set for the next annual shareholders meeting in 2006.  Her agreement is to serve as the Chief Financial Officer of the Company.  Mrs. Gontarek’s compensation pursuant to this employee agreement is $10,000.00 per month ($120,000 annually) and includes bonus provisions based on Company profitability.  The agreement also calls for severance pay to Mrs. Gontarek, if she is terminated without cause equal to six months of her base salary.


DIRECTOR COMPENSATION


A compensation package for our board of directors was established in January 2004.  Each director is due $12,000 per annum, payable quarterly on each March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31 for executing normal board duties.  On May 7, 2004, the board of directors approved an additional monthly compensation for the non-employee board members of $3,000 per month to become effective on April 15, 2004 and to be paid at the end of each month that a member has served.  This additional compensation for non-employee board members was due to the considerable amounts of time in document production, interviews with the SEC, meeting with attorneys, and generally ensuring that the Company appropriately responds to the SEC during the inquiry in an effort to protect the shareholders.  Subsequent to this election the board of directors have approved an extension of this additional monthly $3,000 compensation for non-employee directors due to the considerable amounts of time the board members are continuing to expend away from their own businesses in the execution of the Company’s growth and acquisition integration undertakings in 2005 and beyond.  This extension will continue until the next annual shareholders meeting in 2006.



22



The directors may also receive additional compensation in the form of stock options as approved by the board of directors from time to time.  For instance, on April 20, 2004 and November 15, 2004, the board of directors approved the issuances of 75,000 options, on each of such dates, to each of Kelvin Armstrong and Karl Heer, who are both non-employee directors, in connection with their continued board service.  On January 12, 2005, the board approved the issuance of 300,000 additional options to each of Kelvin Armstrong and Karl Heer for their services as directors, which become exercisable upon the acquisition by the Company of businesses with annual revenues in the aggregate of at least $20 million.  On February 14, 2005, the board approved the issuance of 500,000 options to each of the directors, including Kelvin Armstrong, Karl Heer and William Ham, which become exercisable upon the Company's certification that it has acheieved earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization of $4 million for the 2005 fiscal year.


Directors are also reimbursed for travel expenses incurred in connection with the Company’s business.

ITEM  12.  CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS


Transactions related to BG Capital Group Limited, Endeavor Group, LLC and Related Stockholder

The Company was provided management consulting services by Endeavor Capital Group, LLC, which is owned by one of the stockholders (Mr. Genovese) of the Company.  The terms of the original consulting agreement between Endeavor Capital Group, LLC and the Company was from March 1, 2003, to March 1, 2004.


On March 11, 2004, the Company entered into a new consulting agreement with the stockholder. The term of the agreement was for a one year period, and the stockholder was tasked with bringing to the Company’s attention potential or actual opportunities which meet its business objectives or logical extensions thereof, alert the Company to new or emerging high potential forms of production and distribution, comment on corporate development, identify respective suitable merger or acquisition candidates and related due diligence and other such planning and development services as requested by the Company.


On March 11, 2004, as a result of execution of the new consulting agreement, the stockholder received options to purchase 9,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at a per share exercise price of equal to the lesser of $1.65 or the fair market value at the time of exercise.


On April 16, 2004, the Company and a stockholder amended and restated the March 11, 2004, consulting agreement.  The amended agreement extended the term of the contract to April 19, 2006, and contained an exclusivity provision.  As part of that agreement, the stockholder was issued options to acquire an additional



24



9,000,000 shares of common stock at a per share exercise price equal to the lesser of $1.95 or 60% of the closing price on the day preceding notice of exercise.  In addition, the stockholder was issued options to acquire 5,000,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.65 as a result of his role in the now abandoned Inland Fabricators LLC (IFAB) transaction.  The total options granted to the stockholder during the twelve months ended December 31, 2004, were 23,000,000.  


On May 4, 2004, the Company suspended the consulting agreement with Mr. Genovese.  That suspension remained in effect until October 1, 2004, when the Company and Mr. Genovese entered into a new consulting arrangement, which entirely replaced all prior consulting agreements with Mr. Genovese.  Pursuant to the new consulting agreement, Mr. Genovese was retained to render limited independent advisory services concerning certain merger or

acquisition candidates for the Company.  Mr. Genovese receives no additional compensation for these services.  The new consulting agreement also contained a variety of standstill provisions, pursuant to which Mr. Genovese agreed, among other things, for a period ending on December 31, 2005, not to acquire additional shares of the Company’s stock and not to seek, either along or as part of a group, to acquire control of the company.  Pursuant to the new consulting agreement, Mr. Genovese has provided limited services in connection with certain acquisition activities undertaken by the Company.  However, the Company is under no obligation to use Mr. Genovese’s services in the future.


As part of the new Consulting Agreement with Robert Genovese, the Company agreed to cancel 1,100,000 shares previously issued to Mr. Genovese and a related stock subscription receivable in the amount of $1,815,000.  The shares were cancelled on October 18, 2004.


The stockholder effectively exercised 20,078,300 options during the first six months of 2004 with an aggregate exercise price of $35,282,685.  The Company received $31,752,811 of cash from the stockholder and converted outstanding debt of $3,529,874 owed to the stockholder and related companies in lieu of cash for exercise of these options.  The Company owed the stockholder $792,030 at December 31, 2003.  The stockholder had advanced the Company $672,551 during the first four months of 2004 to pay operating expenses, and the Company had accrued interest of $7,793 on two interest-bearing notes in the first quarter of 2004.  In addition, the stockholder paid for certain investor relations expenses totaling $2,065,000 during the first quarter of 2004 on behalf of the Company.  During the second quarter of 2004 the Company reversed $7,500 of those expenses.  In the fourth quarter of 2004 the Board of Directors approved $705,126 of investor relations expenses previously disallowed bringing the total investor relations expense paid by the stockholder on behalf of the Company to $2,762,626.


The Company has recorded a receivable from Mr. Genovese of $705,126 at December 31, 2004  However the Company has also recorded a payable to one of Mr. Genovese’s companies of $705,126 at December 31, 2004 primarily representing previously disallowed investor relations expenses which were subsequently approved on the basis that satisfactory support for such expenses was provided.    These receivables and payables are recorded as related party amounts in the financial statements.  On April 5, 2005 the receivable of $705,126 was paid to the Company by Mr. Genovese.


Transactions related to the spouse of the President of the Company

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.


In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Spectrum Sciences & Software Holdings Corp. and Subsidiary as of December 31, 2004, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003 in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies


(a)

Organization and Nature of Business


Silva Bay International, Inc. was formed in 1998 for the purpose of locating and recovering rare and valuable aircraft.  Silva Bay International, Inc. had no operations and no revenue from inception in 1998 to the time of acquisition of Spectrum Sciences & Software, Inc. in April 2003.


Spectrum Sciences & Software, Inc. (the "Subsidiary" or “Spectrum”) was incorporated in the State of Florida on October 8, 1982.  Headquartered in Fort Walton Beach, Florida, the Subsidiary has three reportable segments - management services, manufacturing, and engineering and information technology services.  Management services include providing engineering, technical, and operational services in the area of defense range management specializing in bombing and gunnery training range operation and maintenance.  Manufacturing operations include the design and construction of munitions ground support equipment and containers for the shipping and storage of munitions and equipment.  The Subsidiary's engineering and information technology services segment consists of the sale of engineering and information technology services developed to assist in hazard management and weapons impact analysis.  


On April 3, 2003, Silva Bay International, Inc. (a Delaware corporation) acquired Spectrum Sciences & Software, Inc. (a Florida corporation) in exchange for the issuance of 2,500,000 shares of common stock as further described in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements.  On April 8, 2003, Silva Bay International, Inc. changed its name to Spectrum Sciences & Software Holdings Corp.  Spectrum Sciences & Software, Inc. is now a wholly owned subsidiary of Spectrum Sciences & Software Holdings Corp. (the "Company").


The Company's contracts are primarily fixed price contracts with the United States Department of Defense ("DoD"). During 2004 and 2003, the Company had contracts in Florida and Arizona; however, the Company’s contract in Arizona expired in September 2004 and was not renewed.  During both years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, 99% of the Company's revenues were derived from contracts with the DoD.


(b)

Principles of Consolidation


The consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP).  The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Spectrum Sciences & Software Holdings Corp. and its wholly owned subsidiary, Spectrum Sciences & Software, Inc.  All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, Continued


 (c)

Revenue and Cost Recognition


The Company's principal source of revenue is derived from contracts with the DoD and other governmental contractors.  Revenues and costs of revenues earned are recognized for its three segments as described below.  Management's revenue recognition policies, including methods and criteria used for determining extent of completion on its contracts, are described below.


Management Services


The Company recognizes revenue on its management service contracts over the life of the contract as delivery of services occur.  All related costs to perform the services, which consist primarily of labor costs, including those subcontracted to other parties, are also recorded as the costs are incurred.


Manufacturing


The Company recognizes revenue on long-term fixed price manufacturing contracts on a percentage of completion method of accounting based on the ratio of costs incurred to the estimated total costs upon completion.  Criteria used in determining substantial completion for its manufacturing contracts include compliance with performance specifications and customer acceptance.  Materials purchased in advance of the start of the labor process are held as inventory until the manufacturing process begins.


Engineering and Information Technology Services (Computer Software)


Management recognizes revenue under certain long-term fixed price contracts that require product deliveries based on a percentage of completion method using units of delivery as the measurement basis for efforts accomplished.  Products include engineering studies, computer simulation and modeling programs and other technical services and programs that are related to range planning methodology.  Criteria used in determining substantial completion on contracts for the Engineering and Information Technology Services contracts include compliance with performance specifications.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, Continued


(c)

Revenue and Cost Recognition, Continued


Management believes the above methods and criteria are the best available measures of progress for such contracts.  Because of the inherent uncertainties in estimating costs and revenues, it is at least reasonably possible that the estimates used will change within the near term.


Revenue from claims is recognized when realization is probable and the amount can be reliably estimated.  When realization is probable but the amount cannot be reliably estimated, revenue is recognized to the extent of costs incurred, or revenue is recognized when the amounts are received or awarded.


Costs of revenues earned include all direct costs (labor, travel, relocations, materials, subcontracts, and other), and those indirect costs allocable to a contract.  Allocations of indirect costs are based on the relative amounts of direct labor.  Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are made in the period in which such losses first become known and determinable.  Changes in job performance, job conditions, and estimated profitability, including those arising from contract penalty provisions, and final contract settlements may result in revisions to costs and income and are recognized in the period in which the revenues are determined.


(d)

Use of Estimates


The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Accordingly, results could differ from those estimates and assumptions.

 

(e)

Cash and Cash Equivalents


The Company’s cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand, deposits in banks, and money market accounts.  The Company considers all highly liquid interest earning investments with a maturity of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, Continued


(f)

Investments


Short-term investments generally mature between three months to two years from the purchase date.  Investments with a maturity beyond one year may be classified as short-term based on their highly liquid nature and because they represent the investment of cash that is available for current operations.  All short-term investments are classified as available for sale and are recorded at market value using the specific identification method; unrealized gains and losses are reflected in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income.


The Company’s investments consist of debt instruments.  Debt securities are classified as available for sale and are recorded at fair value using the specific identification method.  Unrealized gains and losses (excluding other-than-temporary impairments) are reflected in Other Comprehensive Income.


Investments are considered to be impaired when a decline in fair value is judged to be other-than-temporary.  The Company employs a systematic methodology that considers available evidence in evaluating potential impairment of our investments.  If the cost of an investment exceeds its fair value, the Company evaluates, among other factors, general market conditions, the duration and extent to which the fair value is less than cost, as well as our intent and ability to hold the investment.  Once a decline in fair value is determined to be other-than-temporary, an impairment charge is recorded and charged to operations and a new cost basis in the investment is established.


(g)

Fair Value of Financial Instruments


The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, receivables, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximates fair value because of the short maturity of those instruments.  The carrying amount and fair market value of the Company’s short-term investments are the same since short-term investments are recorded at fair value.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, Continued


(h)

Allowances


Receivables are recorded at net realizable value.  The Company provides appropriate provisions for uncollectible accounts and credit for returns based upon factors surrounding the credit risk and activity of specific customers.  Ninety-nine percent of the Company's revenue and related accounts receivable are derived from contracts with the DoD, which minimizes the risk of uncollectibility.  In the opinion of management, no provisions are deemed necessary for uncollectible contract accounts or returns for credits at December 31, 2004.  If a customer account is determined to be uncollectible, it will be written off at that time.


(i)

Inventories


Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market, determined by the average cost method.  Inventories are reviewed periodically and items considered to be slow moving, excess and/or obsolete are written down to their estimated net realizable value.


(j)

Property, Plant, and Equipment


Property, plant, and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation.  Depreciation is provided using accelerated and straight-line methods over the estimated useful lives of the related assets.  Routine maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred.  Major replacements and improvements are capitalized.  When assets are sold or retired, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and gains or losses from dispositions are credited or charged to income.


(k)

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of


The Company's long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.  Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future net cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) expected to be generated by the asset.  If such assets are considered impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets.  Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, Continued


(l)

Income Taxes


The provision for income taxes includes taxes currently payable plus the change during the year in the deferred tax assets and liabilities.  Deferred income taxes reflect the effect of temporary differences between asset and liability amounts that are recognized for financial reporting purposes and the amounts that are recognized for income tax purposes.  These deferred taxes are measured by applying currently enacted tax laws.  Valuation allowances are recognized to reduce the deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized.  In assessing the likelihood of realization, management considers estimates of future taxable income.



(m)

Earnings (Loss) Per Share


Basic earnings (loss) per share ("EPS") are calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the reporting period.  Diluted EPS is computed in a manner consistent with that of basic EPS while giving effect to the impact of common stock equivalents.  The Company’s common stock equivalents consist of employee, director and consultant stock options to purchase common stock.  Common stock equivalents were not included in the computation of diluted earnings (loss) per share for 2004 because the effect of their exercise would have been anti-dilutive.  


(n)

Research and Development Costs


Research and development costs are expensed as incurred.  Research and development costs incurred during 2004 and 2003 totaled approximately $225,700 and $71,400, respectively, and are included in operating expenses in the accompanying statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).


(o)

Concentrations of Credit Risk


Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk, consist principally of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments and receivables.  The Company places its cash and cash equivalents with high credit quality financial institutions.  At various times throughout 2004 and 2003 and at December 31, 2004, cash balances held at some financial institutions were in excess of federally insured limits.  The Company’s short-term investments are made up of U.S. government and agency debt securities.


Receivables are from the DoD and/or through DoD prime contractors, which minimizes the Company's credit risk.  The Company generally does not require collateral or other security to support customer receivables.

 Comprehensive Income (Loss)


Comprehensive income (loss) includes net income (loss) as well as additional other comprehensive income.  The Company’s other comprehensive income consists of unrealized gains on available-for-sale securities, net of tax.


(q)

Stock Based Compensation


The Company currently sponsors stock option plans (see Note 9).  The Company has elected to adopt the fair value recognition provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123R, Share-Based Payments ("SFAS No. 123R").  The fair values of the stock option awards are determined using an option pricing model.  The compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements


In November 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 151, Inventory Costs — an amendment of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4 ("SFAS No. 151").  SFAS No. 151 amends the guidance in Accounting Research Bulletin (ARB) No. 43, Chapter 4, to clarify the accounting for abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs, and wasted material (spoilage).  SFAS No. 151 requires that these costs be recognized as current period charges regardless of whether they are abnormal.  In addition, SFAS No. 151 requires that allocation of fixed production overheads to the costs of manufacturing be based on the normal capacity of the production facilities.  The provisions of SFAS No. 151 are effective for inventory costs incurred during fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005.  The Company does not expect this new standard to have a material effect on its consolidated financial position or results of operations.


In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123R, Share-Based Payment, ("SFAS 123R"), which requires that the cost resulting for all share-based payment transactions be recognized in the financial statements.  Effective January 1, 2004, the Company implemented SFAS No. 123R – see Note 1(q).

Business Combination


On April 3, 2003, Spectrum Sciences & Software Holdings Corp. (formerly Silva Bay International, Inc.) entered into an amended and restated agreement and plan of merger with Spectrum Sciences & Software, Inc. pursuant to which Spectrum Sciences & Software, Inc. became Spectrum Sciences & Software Holdings Corp.'s wholly owned subsidiary.  As part of this agreement 2,500,000 shares of the Company's common stock was issued to the sole stockholder of Spectrum Sciences & Software, Inc., which was Donal Myrick.


The acquisition was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting; accordingly, the purchase price has been allocated to reflect the fair value of assets and liabilities acquired at the date of acquisition.  Due to the composition of the majority of the governing body and senior management of the Company being the same as Spectrum Sciences & Software, Inc. prior to the April 3, 2003 acquisition, Spectrum Sciences & Software, Inc. has been deemed the accounting acquirer (a reverse acquisition).


The financial statements of the Company prior to April 3, 2003 are those of Spectrum Sciences & Software, Inc.  The results of operation of the acquired business have been included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition.

During 2003, cash advances totaling $603,654 were provided to the Company by a stockholder (Mr. Genovese).  The Company repaid $519,988 of the cash advances during 2003.  No interest was paid on the cash advances.


The Company was provided management consulting services by Endeavor Capital Group, LLC, which is owned by one of the stockholders (Mr. Genovese) of the Company during 2004 and 2003.  The terms of the original consulting agreement between Endeavor Capital Group, LLC and the Company was from March 1, 2003, to March 1, 2004.  Consulting fees were $4,000 per month under the terms of the agreement.  Management consulting fees of $4,000 a month for January and February 2004 and expenses of $15,106 are reported as consulting fees during 2004 and management consulting fees of $40,000 and expenses of $81,904 are reported as consulting fees during 2003 in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.


On March 11, 2004, the Company entered into a new consulting agreement with the stockholder. The term of the agreement was for a one year period, and the stockholder was tasked with bringing to the Company’s attention potential or actual opportunities which meet its business objectives or logical extensions thereof, alert the Company to new or emerging high potential forms of production and distribution, comment on corporate development, identify respective suitable merger or acquisition candidates and related due diligence and other such planning and development services as requested by the Company.


On March 11, 2004, as a result of execution of the new consulting agreement, the stockholder received options to purchase 9,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at a per share exercise price equal to the lesser of $1.65 or the fair market value at the time of exercise.  In accordance with SFAS No. 123, the Company recorded consulting expense of $11,418,038 in the first quarter of 2004, based on the fair value of the stock options at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes pricing model.

On May 4, 2004, the Company suspended the consulting agreement with Mr. Genovese.  That suspension remained in effect until October 1, 2004, when the Company and Mr. Genovese entered into a new consulting arrangement, which entirely replaced all prior consulting agreements with Mr. Genovese.  Pursuant to the new consulting agreement, Mr. Genovese was retained to render limited independent advisory services concerning certain merger or acquisition candidates for the Company.  Mr. Genovese receives no additional compensation for these services.  The new consulting agreement also contained a variety of standstill provisions, pursuant to which Mr. Genovese agreed, among other things, for a period ending on December 31, 2005, not to acquire additional shares of the Company’s stock and not to seek, either alone or as part of a group, to acquire control of the company.  Pursuant to the new consulting agreement, Mr. Genovese has provided limited services in connection with certain acquisition activities undertaken by the Company.  However, the Company is under no obligation to use Mr. Genovese’s services in the future.


As part of the new Consulting Agreement with Robert Genovese, the Company agreed to cancel 1,100,000 shares previously issued to Mr. Genovese and a related stock subscription receivable in the amount of $1,815,000.  The shares were cancelled on October 18, 2004.


The stockholder effectively exercised 20,078,300 options during the first six months of 2004 with an aggregate exercise price of $35,282,685.  The Company received $31,752,811 of cash from the stockholder and converted outstanding debt of $3,529,874 owed to the stockholder and related companies in lieu of cash for exercise of these options.  The Company owed the stockholder $792,030 at December 31, 2003.  The stockholder had advanced the Company $672,551 during the first four months of 2004 to pay operating expenses, and the Company had accrued interest of $7,793 on two interest-bearing notes in the first quarter of 2004.  In addition, the stockholder paid for certain investor relations expenses totaling $2,065,000 during the first quarter of 2004 on behalf of the Company.  During the second quarter of 2004 the Company reversed $7,500 of those expenses.  In the fourth quarter of 2004 the Board of Directors approved $705,126 of investor relations expenses previously disallowed bringing the total investor relations expense paid by the stockholder on behalf of the Company to $2,762,626.


The Company has recorded a receivable from Mr. Genovese of $705,126 at December 31, 2004. However the Company has also recorded a payable to one of Mr. Genovese’s companies of $705,126 at December 31, 2004 primarily representing previously disallowed investor relations expenses which were subsequently approved on the basis that satisfactory support for such expenses was provided These receivables and payables are recorded as related party amounts in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.  On April 5, 2005 the receivable of $705,126 was paid to the Company by Mr. Genovese.

Stock Option Plan:


On March 11, 2004, the Board of Directors approved and adopted a 2004 Non-Statutory Stock Option Plan for 10,000,000 shares of common stock to be granted to employees, non-employee Directors, consultants and advisors.  The vesting and terms of all of the options are determined by the Board of Directors and may vary by optionee; however, the term may be no longer than 10 years from the date of grant.  On April 16, 2004, the Board of Directors amended and restated the stock option plan by increasing the number of shares from 10,000,000 to 30,000,000.


During the year ended December 31, 2004, 23,000,000 options were granted to a non-employee stockholder who provided consulting services to the Company as described in Note 8.  The fair value of the first 9,000,000 options issued was estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions:  risk-free interest rate of 1%; no dividend yields; volatility factors of the expected market price of our common stock of 0.62; and an expected life of the options of 2 years. This generates a price of $1.27 per option at the date of grant, which was March 11, 2004.  As a result, $11,418,038 of consulting expense and additional paid-in capital was recorded at the date of grant.  The fair value of the remaining 14,000,000 options issued was estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions:  risk-free interest rate of 1%; no dividend yields; volatility factors of the expected market price of our common stock of 0.67; and an expected life of the options of 1 year. This generates a price of $1.67 per option on 5,000,000 of the options based on a strike price of a $1.65, and a price of $1.46 per option on 9,000,000 of the options based on a strike price of $1.95, at the date of grant for both sets of options which was April 20, 2004. As a result, $21,526,862 of consulting expense and additional paid-in capital was recorded at the date of grant.  


On April 20, 2004, the Company awarded 576,500 stock options to certain employees, officers and directors for services rendered.  The Company has chosen to early implement FASB Statement No. 123R, Share-Based Payment, which requires these options be valued at fair value at the date of grant. The fair value of the options issued was estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions:  risk-free interest rate of 2.62%; no dividend yields; volatility factors of the expected market price of our common stock of 0.67; and an expected life of the options of 3 years. This generates a price of $2.03 per option based

on a strike price of $1.65 at the date of grant, which was April 20, 2004.  As a result, $1,169,628 of compensation expense and additional paid-in capital was recorded at the date of grant.


In addition, on April 20, 2004, 75,000 options were issued to an individual who is a consultant to the Company.  On April 28, 2004, that consultant exercised 40,000 options and the Company received $66,000 of cash at exercise.  These options were valued at the fair market value at the date of grant in accordance with SFAS No. 123R.  The fair value of these options issued was estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions:  risk free interest rate 1%; no dividend yields; volatility factors of the expected market price of our common stock of .67; and an expected life of the option of two years.  This generates a price of $1.67 per option at the date of grant.  As a result, $125,358 of consulting expense and additional paid in capital were recorded at the date of grant.


On November 15, 2004 the Board of Directors approved and adopted an amended and restated Non-Statutory Stock Option Plan to amend certain termination provisions.  The Company on that date also awarded 591,750 stock options to certain officers and directors for services rendered.  The Company has chosen to early implement FASB Statement No. 123R, Share-Based Payment, which requires these options be valued at fair value at the date of grant. The fair value of the options issued was estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions:  risk-free interest rate of 3.12%; no dividend yields; volatility factors of the expected market price of our common stock of 0.67; and an expected life of the options of 3 years. This generates a price of $.65 per option based on a strike price of $1.40 at the date of grant, which was November 15, 2004.  As a result, $229,136 of compensation expense and additional paid-in capital was recorded at the date of grant.

The fair value of each option is determined using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model which values options based on the stock price at the grant date, the expected life of the option, the estimated volatility of the stock, expected dividend payments, and the risk-free interest rate over the expected life of the option.  The dividend yield was calculated by dividing the current annualized dividend by the option exercise price for each grant.  The expected volatility was determined considering stock prices for the fiscal year the grant occurred and prior fiscal years, as well as considering industry volatility data.  The risk-free interest rate was the rate available on zero coupon U.S. government obligations with a term equal to the expected life of each option.

Income Taxes


The Company files a consolidated federal income tax return.  Income tax benefits (expense) are provided for the tax effects of transactions reported in the financial statements and consist of an alternative minimum tax credit carryforward to be used in future years, plus deferred tax benefits (expense) relating primarily to differences in accumulated depreciation.


Deferred tax assets (liabilities) are reflected at income tax rates applicable to the period in which the deferred tax assets (liabilities) are expected to be realized.  As changes in tax laws or rates are enacted, deferred tax assets are adjusted through the provision for income taxes.


The provision for income taxes for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003 consist of the following:

The Company’s net deferred tax assets include the tax effects of substantial amounts of net operating loss carryforwards, totaling approximately $2,725,000 at December 31, 2004.  The utilization of the Company’s net operating loss carryforwards may be limited in any given year under certain circumstances.  Events which may affect the Company’s ability to utilize these carryforwards include, but are not limited to, future profitability, cumulative stock ownership changes of 50% or more over a three-year period, as defined by Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code, and the timing of the utilization of the tax benefit carryforwards.


In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that, some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.  The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income or the reversal of deferred tax liabilities during the period in which those temporary differences become deductible.  Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax assets, projects future taxable income, and tax planning strategies in making this assessment.  A valuation allowance has been provided for these net deferred tax assets at December 31, 2004 as management has deemed that full realization of these assets is not more likely than not.

United States Department of Labor


On September 25, 2003, the Company received notice from the United States Department of Labor, Employee Benefits Security Administration concerning non-compliance issues with the Company's 401(k) plan.  The primary focus of the investigation was late deposits of employee contributions.  The Company made the participants accounts whole by remitting contributions of $5,811 and accrued interest of $448 on October 29, 2003.


On December 30, 2003, the Company entered into an agreement with the United States Department of Labor (“DOL”) because of an investigation of the Wage and Hour Division under the Contract Work Hours – Safety Standards Act (“SCA”), and the Service Contract Act.  As a result of incorrect classification of certain SCA employees from January 1, 2001 to February 28, 2003, the Company owes certain employees $210,537 in back wages.  This amount plus allocable payroll taxes was accrued as a short-term debt in 2003 and subsequently was paid to these employees in 2004.  The Company believed they had relief from the DoD under the services contract on which these employees worked.  As a result, the Company had also accrued a receivable from the DoD of $193,757 at December 31, 2003, which was included in billed receivables.


During 2004, the contracting officer disagreed with the DOL determination and has only allowed $91,241 of additional salary costs.  As a result of receiving this verbal information in the fourth quarter of 2004, the Company recorded a reduction of $102,516 to the receivable.  The official modification to this contract has not been executed as of December 31, 2004.  The Company intends to protest such modification once it is executed in an effort to fully recover the amounts paid out.


On February 12, 2005, the Company was notified by the Department of Labor that they had determined that Spectrum had failed to properly compensate employees for all hours worked.  More specifically the DOL alleges that, Spectrum failed to adequately document that employees were allowed adequate uninterrupted meal breaks, that certain employee’s travel times in connection with work related duties were not adequately documented, that several employees did not receive fringe benefits for some overtime hours worked and that there were two misclassification of employee’s duties.  The DOL assessed a total requested settlement of $101,495.  Though Spectrum does not feel that it intentionally underpaid any employees, this amount will be deducted from Spectrum’s final payments under the Gila Bend contract and distributed to the affected employees by the Department of Labor.  As a result of this action occurring on the Gila Bend contract that expired on September 30, 2004, the Company has reduced the receivable by $101,495.

Legal Matters


Harassment Suit


In December 2002, three employees filed complaints for violation of civil rights, discrimination, harassment, hostile work environment and retaliation in the United States District Court in Arizona.  In January 2003, the Company filed answers to all three complaints denying all allegations of wrongdoing.  The employees are requesting compensatory, incidental and punitive damages as well as attorney's fees and costs for undue stress and anxiety from the Company's actions.


On January 31, 2005, the suit was adjudicated in favor of the defendants with a total award of $383,100 plus attorney’s fees.  The awards were for $300,000, $80,000 and $3,100 respectively for the three defendants.  On March 7, 2005, the Company filed an objection to the judgment as the judgment amounts exceeded certain statutory limits.  The court has not yet ruled on the Company’s objection to the judgment.   The Company has accrued the expected exposure related to this judgment of $238,000 in accrued expenses at December 31, 2004. (see Note 7).


Section 16(b) claim


In July, 2004, a complaint was filed in the United States District Court, Southern District of Florida by Todd Augenbaum against Robert Genovese, Endeavor Capital Group, LLC, BG Capital Group, Ltd, and Spectrum Sciences and Software Holdings Corp.  The suit alleges that Mr. Genovese and his affiliated companies beneficially owned more than 10% of the outstanding common stock of Spectrum and that Mr. Genovese acted as an officer and director of the Company.  Based on these assertions, the suit claims that Mr. Genovese was a statutory insider of Spectrum, and as such, is presumed to have had access to material non-public information concerning the Company’s operations and future business prospects, and is therefore subject to the provisions of Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act.  The action was brought by the Plaintiff in order to obtain a recovery of short-swing profits alleged to have been unlawfully obtained by Mr. Genovese through the purchase and sale of Company securities.  The Company is a nominal defendant in the action and has no liability for the claims asserted therein against the other defendants.  The Company’s answer to the complaint was filed in the U. S. District Court, Ft. Lauderdale, FL on August 26, 2004. The plaintiff filed an Amended Complaint on October 18, 2004 and the Company filed its response as a nominal defendant on November 12, 2004.  The defendants filed a motion to dismiss the action and the court denied the motion on January 6, 2005.  The Company cannot currently make any prediction of what the outcome of the litigation will be.


Claim by the former President of the Company


On August 24, 2004, the former President and CEO of the Company, Mr. Donal R. Myrick filed a complaint for alleged breach of employment contracts and damages associated with



F-29



SPECTRUM SCIENCES & SOFTWARE HOLDINGS CORP. AND SUBSIDIARY

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

December 31, 2004 and 2003



a delayed stock sale.  The suit alleges three counts against the Company:


·

Spectrum has breached its obligation under an oral employment agreement for the period from November 2002 to December 2003 by failing and refusing to pay salary or benefits;

·

Spectrum has breached its obligation under a written employment agreement starting December 2003 by failing to fully compensate Mr. Myrick under that agreement up to the time of his resignation, and

·

Spectrum, by its failure to issue an opinion letter to allow the sale of Mr. Myrick’s stock in the open market, is liable for the damages that occurred due to the difference in value as to the date the registration of transfer should have occurred and the eventual date that Mr. Myrick was able to liquidate the stock in the open market.


Mr. Myrick’s suit demands damages of and from Spectrum together with interest and costs and such other and further relief as the Court deems just and proper.  The Company intends to vigorously defend its position in the case and filed its answer to Mr. Myrick’s complaint on October 25, 2004.  Discovery and deposition scheduling is currently underway in advance of a court ordered attempt to mediate the claim.  The Company currently does not know what the outcome of this litigation will be.


Munitions Assembly Conveyor (MAC) Lawsuit


On August 23, 2004, Spectrum Sciences & Software, Inc. (the wholly owned subsidiary of the Company) filed suit against the United States Government in the United States Court of Federal Claims based on the Government’s actions associated with the procurement of the improved Munitions Assembly Conveyor (MAC).  The MAC is a munitions handling and support equipment system used to build up munitions prior to loading on an aircraft.  As a result of Spectrum’s experience in both utilizing and producing the MAC, Spectrum identified numerous areas needing improvement and upgrading to this old system.  Based on Spectrum’s work, the Government entered into a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) for the purpose of improving munitions support equipment including the MAC.  As part of the CRADA negotiation, Spectrum identified its prior development and unique modifications and improvements that constituted Spectrum’s trade secrets and intellectual property associated with the MAC.  Following completion of the CRADA effort and delivery of the final report, the Government made overtures to purchase Spectrum’s rights in the redesigned MAC, however, the offer was rejected as being inadequate to compensate Spectrum for its efforts in redesigning the MAC and for the potential for further licensing opportunities.  Following the failure of these discussions, Spectrum alleges that the Government deliberately breached its obligation to Spectrum under the CRADA to safeguard and protect Spectrum’s intellectual property and proprietary information by improperly disclosing and widely disseminating to third parties, including Spectrum competitors, Spectrum’s proprietary information via a draft Request for Proposal Solicitation dated May 1, 2004.  Based on the Government’s actions, Spectrum filed suit on three counts alleging:

Spectrum has requested damages in excess of $10,000,000 on the counts plus the award of Plaintiff’s costs, fees, expenses and attorney’s fees associated with this action.


The Department of Justice filed its response on December 6, 2004.  Based on discovery to date, Spectrum has amended its suit (filed March 14, 2005) and discovery is continuing.  The Company currently does not know what the outcome of this litigation will be.


Garrison Lawsuit


On February 22, 2005, Spectrum Sciences & Software, Inc. (the wholly owned subsidiary of the Company) filed suit against former employees Donald L. Garrison, David M. Hatfield and their current employer Control Systems Research, Inc.  Spectrum alleges that during their employment at Spectrum, Mr. Garrison and Mr. Hatfield were actively involved with the development and application of the Safe Range project (a proprietary Spectrum product) and other non-technical company information such as employee wage data and personnel files, marketing plans, bidding information, and information about other Spectrum contracts and affairs.  The suit alleges that Garrison and Hatfield used Spectrum’s confidential and proprietary information (in violation of their signed agreements for Protection of Proprietary Information) to improperly compete with their new employer (Control Systems Research, Inc.) against Spectrum with regards to the Safe Range program and other related government contracts.  The five counts identified in the lawsuit include:


·

Breach of Contract

·

Violation of Uniform Trade Secrets Act

·

Tortious Interference

·

Conversion

·

Civil Conspiracy


Total damages to Spectrum were not specified and the defendants have not yet responded to the suit.  The Company currently does not know what the outcome of this litigation will be.
