All references to the “Company” and “Kratos” refer to Kratos Defense & Security Solutions, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and its wholly owned subsidiaries.


(a)	Basis of Presentation

The information as of June 24, 2012 and for the three and six months ended June 26, 2011 and June 24, 2012 is unaudited. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 25, 2011 was derived from the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements at that date. In the opinion of management, these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented. The results have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and do not necessarily include all information and footnotes necessary for presentation in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“GAAP”). These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the related notes included in the Company’s audited annual consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 25, 2011, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K and Form 10-K/A filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on March 7, 2012 and December 5, 2012, respectively (collectively the “Form 10-K”). Interim operating results are not necessarily indicative of operating results expected in subsequent periods or for the year as a whole.


(b)	Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries for which all inter-company transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

In June 2012, the Company committed to a plan to sell certain lines of business associated with antennas, satellite-cased products and fly-away terminals of the non-core businesses acquired in the Integral acquisition. In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 205, Presentation of Financial Statements ("Topic 205"), these businesses have been classified as held for sale and reported in discontinued operations in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

The Company has a 52/53 week fiscal year ending on the last Sunday of the calendar year, with interim fiscal periods ending on the last Sunday of the last month of each calendar quarter. The six months ended June 26, 2011 and June 24, 2012 consisted of 26 week periods. There were 52 calendar weeks in the fiscal year ended on December 25, 2011 and there are 53 calendar weeks in the fiscal year ending December 30, 2012.


(d)	Accounting Policies and Accounting Standards Updates

There have been no changes in the Company's significant accounting policies for the six months ended June 24, 2012 as compared to the significant accounting policies described in the Form 10-K. In addition, there were no new accounting standards updates issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board during the six months ended June 24, 2012.


(e)	Concentrations and Uncertainties

The Company maintains cash balances at various financial institutions and such balances commonly exceed the $250,000 insured amount by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts, and management believes that the Company is not exposed to any significant credit risk with respect to such cash and cash equivalents.

Financial instruments, which subject the Company to potential concentrations of credit risk, consist principally of the Company’s billed and unbilled accounts receivable. The Company’s accounts receivable result from sales to customers within the federal government, state and local agencies and commercial customers in various industries. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its commercial customers. Credit is extended based on evaluation of the customer’s financial condition, and collateral is not required. Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. See Note 12 for a discussion of the Company’s significant customers.

The Company has outstanding 10% Senior Secured Notes due 2017 ("the Notes") with an aggregate principal amount of $625.0 million outstanding as of June 24, 2012. The Notes are due on June 1, 2017 and the Company pays interest at the rate of 10% per annum semi-annually, in arrears, on June 1 and December 1 of each year. In addition, the Company has $85.0 million available under its existing revolving credit agreement. See Note 9 for a complete description of the Company’s debt.

The Company intends to fund its cash requirements with cash on hand, cash flows from operating activities and borrowings under its existing revolving credit facility. Management believes these sources of liquidity should be sufficient to meet the Company’s cash needs for at least the next 12 months. The Company’s quarterly and annual operating results have fluctuated in the past and may vary in the future due to a variety of factors, many of which are external to the Company's control. If the conditions in its industry deteriorate, its customers cancel or postpone projects or if the Company is unable to sufficiently increase its revenues or reduce its expenses, the Company may experience, in the future, a significant long-term negative impact to its financial results and cash flows from operations. In such a situation, the Company could fall out of compliance with its financial and other covenants which, if not waived, could limit its liquidity and capital resources.
