Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)
(dollars in thousands)
1. Organization and Basis of Presentation
Basis of Presentation
Vangent, Inc. (“Vangent” or “Company”) is a 100%-owned subsidiary of Vangent Holding Corp. Vangent Holding LLC is the majority shareholder of Vangent Holding Corp. Vangent Holding LLC is 90% owned by The Veritas Capital Fund III, L.P. and 10% owned by Pearson plc (“Pearson”).
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its domestic and foreign subsidiaries and have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in complete financial statements have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the applicable rules and regulations. The Company believes that all disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.
In the opinion of management, all normal and recurring adjustments necessary to fairly present the financial position and results of operations as of and for the periods presented have been included. The results of operations presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year or for any future periods. The Company uses estimates and assumptions in the preparation of its financial statements. The estimates are primarily based on historical experience and business knowledge and are revised as circumstances change. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.
Nature of Operations
Vangent serves customers in the U.S. government, international governments, higher education, and the private sector. The Company’s primary customer focus is U.S. and international governmental agencies which utilize third-party providers to design, build and operate technologically advanced systems. The Department of Health and Human Services represented 34%, the Department of Commerce represented 26%, and the Department of Education represented 15% of total revenue for the three months ended April 3, 2010.
Variable Interest Entities
The Company has interests in foreign joint ventures that provide government contract services in the United Kingdom and in the United Arab Emirates. In the United Kingdom arrangement, the Company has guaranteed joint venture performance under a fixed-priced subcontract and has committed to fund working capital requirements. Under the joint venture agreements the Company holds less than a majority ownership interest in the joint ventures, is entitled to a majority of the income and losses of the joint ventures, and has determined that it is the primary beneficiary of each of the joint ventures. The joint ventures are fully consolidated in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Total assets of $1,051 and total liabilities of $728 of the joint ventures are included in the consolidated financial statements at April 3, 2010.
Fiscal Year and Quarterly Periods
The Company’s fiscal year begins on January 1 and ends on December 31. Quarterly periods are based on a four-week, four-week, five-week methodology ending on the Saturday nearest to the end of the quarter to align with the Company’s domestic business processes. The quarterly period for the three months ended April 3, 2010, is 6 days, or 7%, longer than the corresponding period in 2009. Foreign subsidiaries are consolidated based on the calendar quarter.

2. Discontinued Operations
In the fourth quarter of 2009, Vangent completed an evaluation of its international business and committed to a plan to sell its business operations in Latin America. The condensed consolidated financial statements have been revised for all periods presented to report Latin America as discontinued operations. The discontinued operations include: Vangent Mexico, S.A. de C.V.; Vangent Servicios de Mexico, S.A. de C.V.; Vangent Argentina, S.A.; Vangent Venezuela, C.A.; Vangent Puerto Rico, Inc.; and Proyectos Prohumane México, S. A. de C. V.
A summary of assets and liabilities, revenue, and cost and expenses of the discontinued operations that are segregated and reported separately in the consolidated financial statements follows:

Based on estimates of fair value of the discontinued operations, a charge for expected loss on disposal of $4,965 was recorded for the year ended December 31, 2009. The charge was calculated based on estimates of fair value, less cost to sell, compared with net assets of discontinued operations plus an adjustment to reflect the cumulative translation adjustment loss recorded as part of other comprehensive loss for discontinued operations. As a result of revisions to fair value estimates, which related primarily to an increase in the weighted average cost of capital, changes in estimates of long-term operating margins, and changes in net assets of discontinued operations, an additional charge of $2,618 for expected loss on disposal was recorded for the three months ended April 3, 2010. The final adjustment to expected loss on disposal will be recorded based on the terms of and completion of a disposal transaction.
No corporate interest expense was allocated to the discontinued operations since there was no corporate debt specifically attributable to the operations. The senior secured credit facility provides that under certain circumstances a mandatory debt payment is required for 100% of the proceeds of qualifying asset dispositions. The terms of the ultimate disposition of the discontinued operations and other conditions will determine whether or not a mandatory debt payment will result.

Discontinued Operations in Venezuela — Designation of Venezuelan Economy as Highly Inflationary
Revenue from Vangent Venezuela, C.A. was $390 for the three months ended April 3, 2010. Venezuela has experienced significant inflation in the last several years, and effective January 2010 the economy has been determined to be highly inflationary under U. S. generally accepted accounting principles. An economy is considered highly inflationary when cumulative three-year inflation exceeds 100%. Two different inflation indices exist for determining highly inflationary status in Venezuela: the Consumer Price Index (“CPI”) and the National Consumer Price Index (“NCPI”). Vangent relies on the blended CPI/NCPI index to determine highly inflationary status. The blended CPI/NCPI reached cumulative three-year inflation in excess of 100% in the fourth quarter of 2009.
The designation of highly inflationary under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles means that Vangent Venezuela uses the U.S. dollar as the functional currency effective January 2010. Under the highly inflationary basis of accounting, net monetary assets held in bolivar fuertes are translated into U.S. dollars at each balance sheet date with remeasurement adjustments and any foreign currency transaction gains or losses recognized in income or expense. A foreign currency loss of $110 from Vangent Venezuela is included as a reduction to other income, net, of discontinued operations for the three months ended April 3, 2010.
Discontinued Operations in Argentina — Variable Interest Entity
Vangent Argentina, S.A. has an interest in a joint venture in Argentina that began providing government services in the second quarter of 2009. Vangent Argentina and the joint-venture partner have each guaranteed joint venture performance under a fixed-priced subcontract. Vangent Argentina holds less than a majority ownership interest in the joint venture and is entitled to 50% of the income and losses of the joint venture. Vangent Argentina has determined that it does not have the power to direct matters that most significantly impact the activities of the joint venture and that it is not the primary beneficiary of the joint venture. The joint venture is accounted for under the equity method of accounting as part of discontinued operations, as follows: equity in net income of $392 included in loss from discontinued operations for the three months ended April 3, 2010, and investment in joint venture of $990 included in assets of discontinued operations at April 3, 2010.
3. Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In October 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”), Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements, to (i) provide guidance on whether multiple deliverables exist, how the arrangement should be separated, and the consideration allocated; (ii) require an entity to allocate revenue using estimated selling prices of deliverables if a vendor does not have vendor-specific objective evidence or third-party evidence of the selling price; and (iii) eliminate the use of the residual method. The update becomes effective on a prospective basis in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010, with earlier application permitted. The Company does not expect that adoption will have a material effect on its results of operations or financial position.
In October 2009, the FASB issued an ASU, Certain Revenue Arrangements that Include Software Elements, that amends existing requirements to exclude from its scope tangible products that contain both software and non-software components that function together to deliver a product’s essential functionality. The update becomes effective on a prospective basis in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010, with earlier application permitted. The Company does not expect that adoption will have a material effect on its results of operations or financial position.
In January 2010, the FASB issued an ASU, Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements, that sets forth additional disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. Disclosure requirements for the transfers in and out of levels 1 and 2 of the inputs hierarchy for fair value measurements, which became effective January 1, 2010, did not have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations or financial position. The disclosures about purchases, sales, issuance, and settlements in a roll forward of activity for level 3 fair value measurements is deferred until fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010. The Company does not expect that adoption will have a material effect on its results of operations or financial position.
In June 2009, the FASB issued new requirements that are now part of the ASC topic on Consolidations, dealing with the consolidation of variable interest entities. The new requirements change how a reporting entity determines when an entity that is insufficiently capitalized or is not controlled through voting (or similar rights) should be consolidated and requires a reporting entity to provide additional disclosures about its involvement with variable interest entities and any significant changes in risk exposure due to that involvement. The new requirements became effective on January 1, 2010. Adoption did not have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations or financial position.

Senior Secured Credit Facility
At April 3, 2010, the senior secured credit facility consisted of a term loan of $216,754 due February 14, 2013, and, subject to certain limitations, an available revolving credit facility of up to $49,800 that expires February 14, 2012. There were no borrowings outstanding under the revolving credit facility at April 3, 2010, or December 31, 2009. A commitment fee of 0.5% per year is paid on the available unused portion of the revolving credit facility.
Borrowings under the senior secured credit facility bear interest at a rate equal to, at the Company’s option, either: (i) the base rate, as defined, plus an applicable margin of 1.00-1.50%, or (ii) the adjusted LIBOR, as defined, plus an applicable margin of 2.00-2.50%. Borrowings are subject to mandatory prepayment with (i) 100% of the net cash proceeds of certain asset sales; (ii) 50% of the net cash proceeds of equity offerings or capital contributions subject to certain exceptions; (iii) 100% of the net cash proceeds of additional debt; and (iv) a percentage of annual excess cash flow, as defined. Payments resulting from the annual excess cash flow requirement are due 90 days following the year end. Based on the excess cash flow calculation for the year ended December 31, 2009, a mandatory payment of $13,612 was paid March 31, 2010. Since the excess cash flow requirement is based on annual cash flow, it is not possible to estimate the amount, if any, that would become payable in March 2011 or March 2012.
Borrowings are secured by accounts receivable, cash, intellectual property and other assets and are guaranteed jointly and severally, by all existing and future domestic subsidiaries. Foreign subsidiaries do not guarantee the borrowings. The senior secured credit facility contains various customary affirmative and negative covenants and events of default, including, but not limited to, restrictions on the disposal of assets, incurring additional indebtedness or guaranteeing obligations, paying dividends, creating liens on assets, making investments, loans or advances, and compliance with a maximum consolidated leverage ratio. As of April 3, 2010, the Company was in compliance with all of the affirmative and negative covenants.
At April 3, 2010, the more restrictive covenants related to (i) compliance with a maximum allowable consolidated leverage ratio and (ii) loans and advances by Vangent, Inc. to non-guarantor subsidiaries. The consolidated leverage ratio, as defined in the senior secured credit facility, is based on consolidated indebtedness, as defined, reduced by unrestricted cash and cash equivalents in excess of $5,000, divided by adjusted EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, adjusted for unusual and non-recurring items) for a twelve-month period. At April 3, 2010, the consolidated leverage ratio was 5.25 to 1, compared with the maximum allowable ratio of 6.00 to 1 applicable to the period. The maximum allowable consolidated leverage ratio steps down to 5.50 to 1 at December 31, 2010.
At April 3, 2010, the cumulative amount of net loans to and investments in Vangent Mexico, S.A. de C.V., a non-guarantor subsidiary, by Vangent, Inc. amounted to $8,880 compared with the maximum allowable amount of $10,000 for loans to or investments in non-guarantor subsidiaries under the senior secured credit facility.

9 5/8% Senior Subordinated Notes
In February 2007, the Company completed an offering of $190,000 principal amount of 9 5/8% senior subordinated notes due February 15, 2015. Interest accrues at the fixed rate of 9 5/8% and is paid semi-annually. The notes are general unsecured obligations of the Company and are subordinated to all existing and future senior loans including borrowings under the senior secured credit facility. The notes are guaranteed, jointly and severally, by all existing and future domestic subsidiaries. Foreign subsidiaries do not guarantee the notes.
The Company may redeem all or part of the notes at any time prior to February 15, 2011, at a redemption price of 100% of the principal amount plus an applicable premium, as defined and additional interest, as defined. The notes are redeemable at the option of the Company at the redemption price of 104.8125% of the principal amount on or after February 15, 2011, 102.4063% on or after February 15, 2012, and 100% on or after February 15, 2013.

8. Derivative Instruments, Hedging Activities and Financial Instruments
Vangent, Inc. uses derivative financial instruments to manage interest rate risk and Vangent Mexico, S.A. de C.V., a 100%-owned subsidiary included as part of discontinued operations, has used derivative instruments to manage certain foreign currency exchange rate risks. Interest rate swap agreements are used as cash-flow hedges of interest rate risk associated with variable-rate borrowings under the senior secured credit facility. Foreign currency contracts have been used to hedge exchange rate risks associated with purchase commitments and obligations in currencies other than the Mexican peso. Derivatives can involve credit risk from the possible non-performance by the parties. At April 3, 2010, the fair values of the derivative contracts resulted in derivative liabilities, and the fair value liabilities reflect the Company’s credit adjusted discount rate. The Company does not enter into derivative transactions for trading or speculative purposes.
For derivative financial instruments that qualify as a cash-flow hedge, the effective portion of the gain/loss is reported as a component of other comprehensive income/loss (“OCI”) and is subsequently reclassified to the statements of operations in the period or periods in which the hedged transaction affects the statement of operations.
Interest Rate Swap Agreements on Variable-Rate Term Loan
The Company has entered into interest rate swap agreements with Wachovia Bank, N.A., as counterparty, to hedge fluctuations in LIBOR interest rates on a portion of the term loan borrowing under the senior secured credit facility. The Company exchanged its variable LIBOR interest rate for a fixed interest rate. At April 3, 2010, an interest rate swap agreement at the notional amount of $150,000 to pay fixed interest at the rate of 3.28% and to receive variable interest based on three-month LIBOR was outstanding and scheduled to mature in February 2011.
The Company documented its risk management objective and nature of the risks being hedged and designated the interest rate swaps as cash flow hedges at inception of the agreements. The Company performs a quarterly analysis of the effectiveness of the hedge transactions and has concluded that the hedging relationship is highly effective due to the consistency of critical terms of the interest rate swap agreements and related term loan under the senior secured credit facility. The fair value of the interest rate swap liability was $3,599 at April 3, 2010, all of which represents an unrealized loss that is reported in accumulated OCI in the consolidated statement of stockholder’s equity and is expected to be reclassified to interest expense over the next twelve months.
Discontinued Operations — Foreign Currency Contracts
In 2009, Vangent Mexico entered into foreign currency forward exchange contracts with Wachovia Bank, N.A., as counterparty, to hedge fluctuations in the Mexican peso exchange rates. At April 3, 2010, there were no foreign currency forward exchange contracts outstanding.
Vangent Mexico documented its risk management objective and nature of the risks being hedged for foreign currency contracts that qualify as cash flow hedges at inception of the agreements. Some of the foreign currency hedge contracts no longer qualify as cash flow hedges since it is probable that a forecasted transaction will not occur, and cost of revenue for discontinued operations for the three months ended April 3, 2010, includes a loss of $176 reclassified from OCI for contracts that no longer qualify. For hedge contracts that do qualify as cash flow hedges, an unrealized loss of $96 is included in accumulated OCI in the consolidated statement of stockholder’s equity and is expected to be reclassified to cost of revenue over the next twelve months.

Fair Value Measurements
A summary of the bases used to measure financial assets and financial liabilities reported at fair value on a recurring basis in the consolidated balance sheets follows:
                 
    April 3,     December 31,  
    2010     2009  
Liabilities
               
Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical items
  $     $  
Level 2 — Significant other observable inputs:
               
Interest rate swap agreements
    3,599       4,657  
Foreign currency forward contracts
          339  
Level 3 — Significant unobservable inputs
           
Financial Instruments
The fair values of financial instruments at April 3, 2010, follow:
                 
    Carrying        
    Amount     Fair Value  
Long-term debt
               
Variable-rate term loan under the senior secured credit facility
  $ 216,754     $ 216,754  
9 5/8% senior subordinated notes, due February 15, 2015
    190,000       178,838

Interest rate swap agreements to pay fixed and receive variable
               
Accrued liabilities
  $ 3,599     $ 3,599  
 
           
The carrying amount of the variable-rate term loan under the senior secured credit facility approximates fair value. The fair value of the 9 5/8% senior subordinated notes is based on quoted market prices. At April 3, 2010, the quoted market price was $94.125 per $100 reflecting a yield of 11.4%. The fair value of interest rate swap agreements and foreign currency forward contracts is based on quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets adjusted for non-performance risk. The carrying amounts of other financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities, approximate fair value due to their short term nature.
9. Income Taxes
The provision for income taxes amounted to $1,834 for the three months ended April 3, 2010, and is composed of U.S. federal, state and local, and foreign income taxes and has been reduced by $1,070 for a change in the tax valuation allowance for deferred tax assets. The tax valuation allowance results primarily from the effect on the U.S. net operating losses from the tax amortization of goodwill. Goodwill is an indefinite lived asset that is amortized for tax purposes, but is not amortized for financial accounting and reporting purposes.
A valuation allowance is recorded against deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that a tax benefit will not be realized. The assessment for a valuation allowance requires judgment on the part of management with respect to the benefits that may be realized. The Company has concluded, based upon all available evidence, it is more likely than not that the U.S. federal, state, and local deferred tax assets at April 3, 2010, will not be realizable. A full valuation allowance has been provided against U.S. deferred tax assets. The valuation allowance will be reversed at such time that realization is believed to be more likely than not, and any such reversal would be reflected as a reduction to the provision for income taxes.
Deferred tax liabilities aggregated $18,994 at April 3, 2010, and were primarily related to an indefinite lived asset (goodwill) that is amortized for tax purposes, but is not amortized for financial accounting and reporting purposes. Goodwill is subject to impairment under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
The ASC topic on Income Taxes prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken, or expected to be taken, in a tax return. Vangent is indemnified and is not liable for any income taxes that relate to the pre-acquisition periods prior to February 15, 2007. There was no liability for unrecognized tax benefits at April 3, 2010. Vangent does not expect changes in unrecognized tax benefits, if any, within the next twelve months to have a material impact on the provision for income taxes or the effective tax rate.

Vangent’s income tax returns for 2009, 2008, and 2007 are subject to examination by federal, state, local, or foreign tax authorities. Interest and penalties, if any, relating to income taxes are charged to the provision for income taxes.
10. Commitments and Contingencies

ITEM 2.   MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion and analysis of our consolidated financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contained elsewhere in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q and the Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto, included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.
Overview
We are a leading provider of information management and business process outsourcing services to several U.S. public health care and other civilian government agencies, as well as selected U.S. defense and intelligence agencies, foreign government organizations and private sector entities. We design, build and operate mission-critical systems and processes to seamlessly deliver vital information, services and programs to our customers and their constituents. Most of our revenue is generated from long-term contracts that typically have duration of approximately five years, including option years. As of April 3, 2010, our total contract backlog was $1.9 billion, compared with $2.1 billion at December 31, 2009.
The Department of Health and Human Services (“HHS”) represented 34%, the Department of Commerce (“DoC”) represented 26%, and the Department of Education (“DoED”) represented 15% of total revenue for the three months ended April 3, 2010. We manage our business through three segments: the Government Group; the International Group; and the Human Capital Group.
The Government Group is our largest segment and has many years of experience in providing information management and business process outsourcing to several civilian and defense agencies of the federal government, including a 29-year history with the Department of Education, over 10 years with the Defense Information Systems Agency and eight years with the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (“CMS”). The Government Group is also responsible for the development, management, analysis and dissemination of healthcare information to the public sector and is one of the largest non-government providers of health information in the United States. The fourth quarter of the calendar year typically represents the highest revenue quarter as a result of the fourth-quarter open enrollment period under the CMS contract and student financial aid activity under the DoED contract. The Government Group represented 91% of total revenue for the three months ended April 3, 2010.
The International Group serves government and commercial customers, primarily in the United Kingdom and Canada, and provides consulting, systems integration, business process outsourcing, and the management of data, identity, revenue and human capital. As of April 3, 2010, the Company’s business operations in Latin America were held for sale and are classified as discontinued operations in the condensed consolidated financial statements. These operations were formerly part of the International Group. The International Group represented 6% of total revenue for the three months ended April 3, 2010.
The Human Capital Group primarily serves the private sector and designs, builds, and operates workforce solutions that automate and improve the recruitment, assessment, selection, training and development of a customer’s workforce. We provide solutions that automate pre-employment screening which improves the quality and retention of new employees and reduces the cost and time associated with workforce planning and hiring. The Human Capital Group represented 3% of total revenue for the three months ended April 3, 2010.
Discontinued Operations
In the fourth quarter of 2009, Vangent completed an evaluation of its international business and made the determination to sell its business operations in Latin America. The condensed consolidated financial statements have been revised for all periods presented to report Latin America as discontinued operations. The discontinued operations include: Vangent Mexico, S.A. de C.V.; Vangent Servicios de Mexico, S.A. de C.V.; Vangent Argentina, S.A.; Vangent Venezuela, C.A.; Vangent Puerto Rico, Inc.; and Proyectos Prohumane México, S. A. de C. V.

Nature of Our Contracts
Contracts funded by U.S. government agencies represented 88% of total revenue for the three months ended April 3, 2010, compared with 82% for the corresponding period in 2009. The continuation and renewal of our existing government contracts and new government contracts are, among other things, contingent upon the availability of adequate funding for the various federal government agencies with which we do business. Refer to our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009, for additional information concerning our business and the factors that could impact federal government spending and our federal government contracting business.
We have cost-plus, fixed-price and time and materials contracts. Fixed-priced contracts generally offer a higher profit margin opportunity but involve higher risks associated with potential cost overruns. Revenue from each type of contract as a percent of total revenue follows:
                 
    Three Months Ended  
    April 3,     March 28,  
    2010     2009  
 
               
Cost-plus
    65 %     52 %
Fixed-price
    30 %     43 %
Time and materials
    5 %     5 %
 
           
 
    100 %     100 %
 
           
The increase in cost-plus contracts is due to work performed in the 2010 U.S. Census contract.
Contract Backlog
Total contract backlog is the amount of revenue we expect to realize over the remaining term of our contracts. We include in backlog task orders awarded, but not contract ceiling values, under government-wide acquisition contracts or indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity contracts. Funded backlog is the portion for which funding has been authorized. Most of our federal government contracts allow the customer the option of extending the period of performance for a period of one or more years. A summary of contract backlog by business segment follows (in millions):
                                 
    April 3, 2010     December 31, 2009  
    Total     Funded     Total     Funded

  $ 1,932.2     $ 457.1     $ 2,125.8     $ 562.2  
 
                       
Critical Accounting Policies
The process of preparing financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires the use of estimates and assumptions to determine certain of the assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses. These estimates and assumptions are based upon what we believe is the best information available at the time of the estimates or assumptions. The estimates and assumptions could change materially as conditions within and beyond our control change. Accordingly, actual results could differ materially from those estimates.
The critical accounting estimates and judgments used in the preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements are described in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009. Except for a charge of $2.6 million for an additional expected loss on disposal of discontinued operations, there have been no significant changes in critical accounting estimates and judgments: revenue recognition and cost estimation on long-term contracts; definite-life intangible assets; goodwill and an indefinite-life intangible asset; equity-based compensation; and income taxes.

Three Months Ended April 3, 2010 and March 28, 2009
Overview
The Company’s fiscal year begins on January 1 and ends on December 31. Quarterly periods are based on a four-week, four-week, five-week methodology ending on the Saturday nearest to the end of the quarter to align with the Company’s domestic business processes. Foreign subsidiaries are consolidated based on the calendar quarter. There are 93 days in the three-month period ended April 3, 2010, compared with 87 days in the three-month period ended March 28, 2009. As a result revenue, costs and expenses, interest expense, income taxes, and cash flows for continuing operations cover a period that is 6 days, or 7%, longer than the corresponding period in 2009.

The Department of Health and Human Services (“HHS”) represented 34%, the Department of Commerce (“DoC”) represented 26%, and the Department of Education (“DoED”) represented 15% of total revenue for the three months ended April 3, 2010.
The increase in Government Group revenue reflects the following:
    Revenue from DoC contracts increased $48.8 million from the ramp up of processing of census forms and data capture under the 2010 U.S. Census contract that is expected to be substantially completed by the fourth quarter of 2010.
    Revenue from HHS contracts increased $5.6 million from higher volumes and contract work for the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (“CMS”) contract and the Center for Disease Control (“CDC”) contract.
    Revenue from Department of Defense (“DoD”) contracts increased $3.4 million principally from a new contract with the Military Health System.
    Revenue from DoED increased $3.1 million related to an increase in revenues earned on Vangent’s contract with the Office of Federal Student Aid.
    Revenue from a contract with the Department of State (“DoS”) for the National Passport Information Center increased $1.0 million.

Table of Contents

The increases in Government Group revenue were partially offset by a reduction of $1.6 million from the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (“ERISA”) contracts with the Department of Labor (“DoL”).
The increase in International Group revenue reflects increases from contracts in the United Kingdom and the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates that increased revenue by $1.2 million, compared with the average exchange rates prevailing during the corresponding period in 2009.
The reduction in Human Capital Group revenue reflects the substantial completion of a foreign military contract with the U.S. Air Force to modernize the Royal Saudi Air Force learning infrastructure, partly offset by an increase in training and call center services for various commercial customers.
Cost of Revenue
The increase in cost of revenue reflects costs of $42.5 million incurred for contract work performed under U.S. 2010 Census contract with DoC, and the period is 7% longer than the corresponding period in 2009. The average number of employees increased 40% primarily from increased temporary staffing in connection with the Census contract. The effect of changes in foreign exchange rates increased costs of the International Group by $1.0 million.
The gross profit margin, or the ratio of gross profit to revenue, was 18.5% for the three months ended April 3, 2010, compared with 19.2% for the corresponding period in 2009. The reduction reflects a higher proportion of revenue from cost-plus contracts, including the 2010 U.S. Census contract, vs. fixed-price contracts.
General and Administrative Expenses
The increase in general and administrative expenses reflects higher accrued expenses for annual incentive compensation awards, an increase in consulting fees, and a period that is 7% longer than the corresponding period in 2009. Incentive compensation expense is accrued based upon the level of operating results compared to established targets; there were no incentive compensation expense accrued for the corresponding period in 2009. Although general and administrative expenses increased, they represented 6.3% of revenue, a reduction from 7.3% for the corresponding period in 2009. The reduction reflects the increase in revenue.
Selling and Marketing Expenses
The increase in selling and marketing expenses reflects an increase of 38% in the number of new business development employees in the Government Group.

The increase in Government Group operating income primarily reflects work on the 2010 U.S. Census contract with DoC that is expected to be substantially completed by the fourth quarter of 2010, and the period is 7% longer than the corresponding period in 2009. Award fees earned under cost-plus contracts, including the 2010 U.S. Census contract, increased $6.0 million compared with the corresponding period in 2009. The increases in operating income were partly offset by a reduction in income of $1.6 million resulting from upfront development costs on fixed-price ERISA contracts with DoL and higher accrued expenses of $1.5 million for incentive compensation compared with the corresponding period in 2009 where no incentive compensation was earned or accrued.
International Group operating results continue to reflect breakeven operating margins and have been reduced by charges from corporate and divisional overhead allocations of $0.5 million for the three months ended April 3, 2010, and $0.4 million for the corresponding period in 2009.
The increase in the operating loss for the Human Capital Group reflects the adverse impact of lower revenue under the Royal Saudi Air Force contract. The operating losses for both periods reflect reductions in training needs and customer hiring patterns from continued high unemployment levels.
Interest Expense, Net
Interest expense, net, was $8.2 million for the three months ended April 3, 2010, a reduction of $0.1 million from the corresponding period in 2009. Interest expense was reduced by $0.4 million as a result of reductions in the notional amount and average interest rate on the hedged portion of the term loan in February 2010. The reduction was offset by the period that is 7% longer than the corresponding period in 2009 resulting in $0.6 million of additional interest expense.

The provision for income taxes is composed of U.S. federal, state and local and foreign income taxes. The provision for income taxes for the three months ended April 3, 2010 was reduced by $1.1 million for a change in the tax valuation allowance for deferred tax assets. The Company has concluded, based upon available evidence, that it is more likely than not that the U.S. deferred tax assets will not be realizable. Therefore, a valuation allowance amounting to $39.3 million had been established as of December 31, 2009. The valuation allowance results primarily from the effect on U.S. net operating losses from the tax amortization of goodwill. Goodwill is an indefinite life asset that is amortized for tax purposes, but is not amortized for financial accounting and reporting purposes. Goodwill is subject to impairment under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Revenue and costs and expenses for discontinued operations are denominated in multiple foreign currencies, primarily the Mexican Peso, and are significantly affected by foreign currency exchange rate changes.
The increase in revenue from discontinued operations reflects an increase of $2.9 million in revenue from Mexico from a contract with Mexico’s social security agency that was in the start up phase in the corresponding period in 2009. Although revenue on the contract with Mexico’s social security agency increased compared with the corresponding period in 2009, revenue continues to be adversely affected by continuing low member enrollments. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates increased revenue by $0.3 million, or 1%, compared with the average exchange rates prevailing during the corresponding period in 2009.
The increase in costs and expenses from discontinued operations resulted from the contract with Mexico’s social security agency that was in the start up phase in the corresponding period in 2009.
Based on estimates of fair value of the discontinued operations, a charge for expected loss on disposal of $5.0 million was recorded for the year ended December 31, 2009. The charge was calculated based on estimates of fair value, less cost to sell, compared with net assets of discontinued operations plus an adjustment to reflect the cumulative translation adjustment loss recorded as part of other comprehensive loss for discontinued operations. As a result of revisions to fair value estimates, which related primarily to an increase in the weighted average cost of capital and changes in estimated long-term operating margins, an additional charge of $2.6 million for expected loss on disposal was recorded for the three months ended April 3, 2010. The final adjustment to expected loss on disposal will be recorded based on the terms of and completion of a disposal transaction.
Other income from discontinued operations for the three months ended April 3, 2010, includes equity in net income of $0.4 million from a joint venture in Argentina that began operating in the second quarter of 2009. Other income also includes a foreign currency gain of $0.4 million resulting from the strengthening of the Mexican peso.

Table of Contents

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our primary sources of liquidity are available cash and cash equivalents, a line of credit under the revolving credit facility, and cash flows from operating activities. Cash and cash equivalents amounted to $10.7 million at April 3, 2010. Subject to certain limitations, including compliance with the maximum allowable limits under the leverage ratio covenant under the senior secured credit facility, the available line of credit under the revolving credit facility was $49.8 million at April 3, 2010. Based on our current planned level of operations, we believe our cash and cash equivalents, cash flow from operations, and available line of credit will be adequate to meet our liquidity needs for at least the next twelve months, including scheduled interest payments, scheduled lease payments and noncancelable purchase commitments, and planned capital expenditures.
Cash and cash equivalents are composed of cash in banks and highly liquid instruments with original maturities of 90 days or less. Cash equivalents or marketable securities are comprised of repurchase agreements and money market securities with major commercial banks under which cash is primarily invested in U.S. Treasury and U.S. government agency securities. The Company does not invest in high yield or high risk securities. Cash in bank accounts at times may exceed federally insured limits.
Long-Term Debt
Refer to the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements for information on long-term debt, revolving credit facility, scheduled maturities of long-term debt, affirmative and negative covenants including the maximum allowable consolidated leverage ratio, interest rate swap agreements on variable-rate term loan, and the fair value of the interest rate swap liability.
Long-term debt of $406.8 million at April 3, 2010, is scheduled to mature as follows: (i) the term loan of $216.8 million under the senior secured credit facility is scheduled to mature in February 2013, and (ii) senior subordinated fixed rate notes of $190.0 million are scheduled to mature in February 2015. Our ability to generate sufficient cash flow from operations to repay long-term debt when it matures, or to refinance our debt when it matures, depends on numerous factors beyond our control, including those discussed under Risk Factors reported in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009. In view of current credit market conditions and the credit ratings assigned to our outstanding debt and corporate credit by credit rating agencies, as further discussed under the caption Credit Ratings, in the event we were to refinance the senior secured credit facility or the senior subordinated notes, we would likely encounter higher interest rates and limited availability of debt financing capacity.
Debt Covenants
The more restrictive debt covenants relate to (i) loans and advances to non-guarantor subsidiaries, and (ii) compliance with a maximum allowable consolidated leverage ratio. At April 3, 2010, the cumulative amount of net loans to and investments in Vangent Mexico, S.A. de C.V., a non-guarantor subsidiary, by Vangent, Inc. amounted to $8.9 million, compared with the maximum allowable amount of $10.0 million for loans to or investments in non-guarantor subsidiaries under the senior secured credit facility.
The consolidated leverage ratio, as defined in the senior secured credit facility, is based on consolidated indebtedness, as defined, reduced by unrestricted cash and cash equivalents in excess of $5.0 million, divided by adjusted EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, and adjusted for unusual and non-recurring items) as defined in the debt agreement for a twelve-month period. At April 3, 2010, the consolidated leverage ratio was 5.25 to 1, compared with the maximum allowable ratio of 6.00 to 1 applicable to the period. The maximum allowable consolidated leverage ratio steps down to 5.50 to 1 at December 31, 2010.
Interest Rate Swaps on Variable-Rate Term Loan under Senior Secured Credit Facility
The Company has entered into interest rate swap agreements to hedge fluctuations in LIBOR interest rates on a portion of the term loan borrowing under the senior secured credit facility. The Company exchanged its variable LIBOR interest rate for a fixed interest rate. At April 3, 2010, the total notional amount of the pay-fixed/receive-variable interest rate swap agreements was $150.0 million scheduled to mature in February 2011.
The fair value of the net interest rate swap liability was $3.6 million at April 3, 2010, all of which represents an unrealized loss that is reported in accumulated other comprehensive loss in the consolidated statement of stockholder’s equity. The fair value is based on quoted prices for swaps in active markets adjusted for non-performance risks. The Company does not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for speculative purposes.

Net Cash Used in Operating Activities
In assessing cash flows from operating activities for continuing operations, we consider several principal factors: (i) income or loss from continuing operations adjusted for non-cash charges, primarily amortization of intangible assets, depreciation and amortization of property and equipment, and deferred income taxes, and (ii) the extent to which receivables, payables, or other working capital components increase or decrease.
Cash flow used in operating activities was $17.0 million for the three months ended April 3, 2010, compared with $9.9 million for the corresponding period in 2009. Income from continuing operations after adjusting for non-cash charges was $18.8 million for the three months ended April 3, 2010, compared with $12.1 million for the corresponding period in 2009. However, this was offset entirely by an increase in trade receivables.
Trade receivables increased $32.1 million, or 29%, compared with December 31, 2009, primarily due to higher revenue for the three months ended April 3, 2010, and the timing of collections from customers. Trade receivables at April 3, 2010, reflect DSO (days sales outstanding) of 65 days, compared with 57 days at December 31, 2009. Cash flows from operating activities for the corresponding period in 2009 was affected by an increase in trade receivables of $4.1 million due to delays in collections from two customers.

Table of Contents

An increase in accounts payable and other liabilities of $4.5 million partially offset the negative cash flow impact from the increase in trade receivables for the three months ended April 3, 2010. A reduction of $13.2 million in accounts payable and other liabilities was the primary use of cash from operating activities for the corresponding period in 2009 primarily as a result of payments of $6.3 million for incentive compensation that had been earned and accrued in 2008. There were no payments for incentive compensation in the three months ended April 3, 2010, as there were no liabilities for incentive compensation earned or accrued for 2009. The timing of payments to vendors affects the level of accounts payable and the effect on operating cash flow, including the level of activities with small-business vendors and sub-contractors that require more frequent cash payments.
Discontinued operations generated negative cash flow from operating activities of $2.0 million for the three months ended April 3, 2010. An increase of $2.5 million in trade and other receivables, principally delays in collections from the contract with the social security agency in Mexico, was the primary cause of the negative cash flow from operating activities. The loss from discontinued operations of $2.4 million was offset by a non-cash charge of $2.6 million representing an additional charge for expected loss on disposal. Cash flow for the corresponding period in 2009 was breakeven.
Net Cash Used in Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities reflects capital expenditures of $1.3 million for continuing operations for the three months ended April 3, 2010 and $1.2 million for the corresponding period in 2009 for contractual and general infrastructure requirements. Capital expenditures for discontinued operations were $0.1 million for the three months ended April 3, 2010, and $1.1 million for the corresponding period in 2009 primarily for a contract in Mexico. Total capital expenditures of $15.0 million are expected for 2010.
Net Cash Used in Financing Activities
Net cash used in financing activities of $13.6 million for continuing operations for the three months ended April 3, 2010, reflects a mandatory term loan payment under the senior secured credit facility resulting from excess cash flow for 2009. Based on the excess cash flow for 2008, there was excess cash flow payment required in 2009.
Credit Ratings
The debt-to-equity ratio was 3.5 at April 3, 2010, compared with 3.8 at December 31, 2009. The reduction resulted from a debt payment of $13.6 million that reduced debt and net income that increased stockholder’s equity. The most recent ratings were assigned by Standard and Poor’s in November 2009 and by Moody’s Investor Services in December 2009, as follows:

Variable Interest Entities

Over the next twelve months, the Company does not expect any material adverse impact to its consolidated financial condition or results of operations from its performance guaranty under the fixed-priced contracts or its working capital commitments.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of April 3, 2010, there were no off-balance sheet arrangements other than operating leases for office facilities and equipment for which future minimum lease payments aggregated $73.4 million.
