BUSINESS INFORMATION

 

Unless the context indicates otherwise, the terms “the Company” and “CACI” as used in Parts I and II, include both CACI International Inc and its subsidiaries. The term “the Registrant”, as used in Parts I and II, refers to CACI International Inc only.

 

PART I

 

Item 1.    Business

 

Background

 

CACI International Inc (the “Registrant”) was organized as a Delaware corporation under the name of “CACI WORLDWIDE, INC.” on October 8, 1985. By a merger effected on June 2, 1986, the Registrant became the parent of CACI, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and CACI N.V., a Netherlands corporation. Effective April 16, 2001, CACI, Inc. was merged into its wholly-owned subsidiary, CACI, INC.-FEDERAL, such that Registrant is now the corporate parent of CACI, INC.-FEDERAL, a Delaware corporation, and CACI N.V., a Netherlands corporation.

 

The Registrant is a holding company and its operations are conducted through subsidiaries, which are located in the U.S. and Europe.

 

Overview

 

CACI founded its business in 1962 in simulation technology, and has strategically diversified within the information technology (“IT”) and communications industries. With fiscal year 2003 (“FY2003”) revenue of $843.1 million, CACI serves clients in the government and commercial markets, primarily throughout North America and the United Kingdom. The Company delivers IT and communications solutions to clients through four areas of expertise or service offerings: systems integration, managed network services, knowledge management and engineering services. Through these service offerings, the Company provides comprehensive, practical IT and communications solutions by adapting emerging technologies and continually evolving legacy strengths in such areas as information assurance and security, reengineering, logistics and engineering support, automated debt management systems and services, litigation support systems and services, product data management, software development and reuse, voice, data and video communications, simulation and planning, financial and human resource systems and geo-demographic and customer data analysis. As a result of these broad capabilities, many of the Company’s client relationships have existed for five years or more.

 

The Company’s high quality service has enabled it to sustain high rates of repeat business and long-term client relationships and also to compete effectively for new clients and new contracts. The Company is organized to seek competitive business opportunities and has designed its operations to support major programs through centralized business development and business alliances. CACI has structured its new business development organization to respond to the competitive marketplace, particularly within the federal government, and supports that activity with full-time marketing, sales, communications, and proposal development specialists.

 

The Company’s primary markets—both domestic and international—are agencies of national governments, and major corporations. The demand for CACI’s services in large measure is created by the increasingly complex network, systems and information environment in which governments and businesses operate, and by the need to stay current with emerging technology while increasing productivity and, ultimately, performance.

 

At June 30, 2003, CACI employed approximately 6,300 people. This total includes approximately 516 part time employees. The Company currently operates from its headquarters at Three Ballston Plaza, 1100 North Glebe Road in Arlington, Virginia. CACI has operating offices and facilities in over 85 other locations throughout the United States and Western Europe.

Item 1.    Business (continued)

 

Domestic Operations

 

CACI’s domestic operations are conducted through a number of subsidiaries, and account for all of the domestic revenue generated by the Company. Some of the contracts performed by our domestic operations segment involve assignment of employees to international locations. The Company provides IT and communications solutions to its Federal, Commercial and State and Local clients through all four of its major service offerings: systems integration, managed network services, knowledge management and engineering services. Generally, the solutions offered by our domestic operations are applied by clients to improve their organizational performance by enhancing system infrastructures.

 

Systems integration offerings combine current systems with new technologies or integrate hardware and software from multiple sources to enhance operations and save time and money. Systems integration services include planning, designing, implementing and managing solutions that resolve specific technical or business needs; extracting core business logic from existing systems and preserving it for migration to more modern environments; helping clients visualize possible changes in processes and systems before implementation; and web-enabling systems and applications, bringing the power of the Internet to clients and system users.

 

Managed network services offerings include a complete suite of solutions for total life cycle support of global networks. These offerings include planning and building voice, video and data networks; managing network communications infrastructures; operating network systems, including monitoring codes, traffic, security, and fault isolation and resolution; and assuring that information is secure from unauthorized interception and intrusion during its storage and transmission.

 

Knowledge management offerings encompass a range of information management tools and enabling technologies, including Internet-based user interfaces, commercial off-the-shelf software, and workflow management systems. These technologies enable users to automate all aspects of document administration, including warehousing, retrieving, and sharing, while improving processes, enhancing support and allowing organizations to achieve higher operational efficiencies and mission effectiveness.

 

Engineering services offerings enable clients to standardize and improve the way they manage the logistical life cycles of systems, products, and material assets, resulting in cost savings and increased productivity. They also provide acquisition support, prototype development and integration, software design and integration, systems life extension and training in the use of analytical and collaboration tools for the U.S. intelligence community. The solutions provided are often coupled with the Company’s simulation and programming services to deliver advanced logistics planning solutions.

 

In fashioning solutions utilizing the technologies of each of these service offerings, the Company makes extensive use of its wide array of modeling and simulation products and services, thereby enabling clients to visualize the impact of proposed changes or new technologies before implementation. The Company’s simulation offerings address client needs in the areas of military training and war-gaming, logistics, manufacturing, wide area networks, including satellites and land lines, local area networks, the study of business processes, and the design of distributed computer systems architecture.

 

International Operations

 

CACI’s international operations are conducted primarily through the Company’s major operating subsidiary in Europe, CACI Limited, and account for all revenue generated from international clients and almost 80 percent of the Company’s commercial revenue. CACI Limited is headquartered in London, England, and operates primarily in support of the Company’s systems integration line of business.

 

The Company’s international systems integration offerings focus primarily on planning, designing, implementing and managing solutions that resolve specific technical or business needs for commercial clients in

 

3


Item 1.    Business (continued)

 

the telecommunications, financial services, healthcare services and transportation industries. The international operations also concentrate on combining data and technology in software products and services that provide strategic information on customers, buying patterns and market trends for clients who are engaged in retail sales of consumer products, direct marketing campaigns, franchise or branch site location projects, and similar endeavors.

 

Major Markets and Significant Activities

 

CACI operates in a highly competitive industry that includes many firms, some of which are larger in size and have greater financial resources. The Company obtains much of its business on the basis of proposals submitted in response to requests from potential and current customers, who may also receive proposals from other firms. Additionally, the Company faces indirect competition from certain government agencies that perform services for themselves similar to those marketed by CACI. The Company knows of no single competitor that is dominant in its fields of technology. The Company has a relatively small share of the available worldwide market for its products and services and intends to achieve growth in part through increasing market share.

 

Although the Company is a supplier of proprietary computer-based simulation technology products and marketing systems products in both domestic and international operations, CACI is not primarily focused on being a software product developer-distributor (see discussion following on Patents, Trademarks, Trade Secrets and Licenses).

 

CACI offers substantially all of its entire range of information systems, technical and communications services and proprietary products to defense and civilian agencies of the U.S. Government. In order to do so, the Company must maintain expert knowledge of agency policies and operations. The Company’s work for U.S. Government agencies may combine a wide range of skills drawn from its major service offerings, including information systems design, development and maintenance, systems engineering, telecommunications, logistics sciences, information assurance and security, military systems engineering, simulation, automated document management, litigation support and debt management. The Company occasionally contracts through both its domestic and international operations to supply services and/or products for governments of other nations.

 

The Company’s commercial client base consists primarily of large corporations in the UK. This market is the primary target of the Company’s proprietary software and database products.

 

Decisions regarding contract awards by the Company’s government clients typically are based on assessment of the quality of past performance, responsiveness to proposal requirements, price, and many other factors.

 

The Company has the capability to combine comprehensive knowledge of client challenges with significant expertise in the design, integration, development and implementation of advanced information technology and communications solutions. This capability provides CACI with opportunities either to compete directly for, or to support other bidders in competition for multi-million dollar and multi-year award contracts from the U.S. Government.

 

CACI has strategic business relationships with many companies associated with the information technology industry. These strategic partners have business objectives compatible with those of the Company, and offer products and services that complement CACI’s. The Company intends to continue development of these kinds of relationships wherever they support its growth objectives.

 

Marketing and new business development for the Company are conducted by virtually all officers and managers of the Company, including the Chief Executive Officer, executive officers, vice presidents, and division managers. The Company employs marketing professionals who identify and qualify major contract opportunities, primarily in the federal government market. The Company’s proprietary software and marketing systems are sold primarily by full time sales people. The Company also has established agreements for the resale of certain third party software and data products.

Item 1.    Business (continued)

 

Much of the Company’s business is won through submission of formal competitive bids. Commercial bids are frequently negotiated as to terms and conditions for schedule, specifications, delivery and payment. With respect to bids for government work, however, in most cases the client specifies the terms and conditions and form of contract. In situations where the client-imposed contract type and/or terms appear to expose the Company to inappropriate risk, the Company may seek alternate arrangements or opt not to bid for the work. Essentially all contracts with the United States Government, and many contracts with other government entities, permit the government client to terminate the contract at any time for the convenience of the government or for default by the contractor. Although the Company operates under the risk that such terminations may occur and have a material impact on operations, throughout the Company’s 40+ years in business such terminations have been rare and, generally, have not materially affected operations. As with other government contractors, the Company’s business is subject to government client funding decisions and actions that are beyond its control. CACI’s contracts and subcontracts are composed of a wide range of contract types, including firm fixed-priced, cost reimbursement, time-and-materials, indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity (“IDIQ”) and government wide acquisition contracts (known as “GWACS”) such as General Services Administration (“GSA”) schedule contracts. By Company policy, fixed-price contracts require the approval of at least two senior officers of the Company.

 

At any one time, the Company may have more than a thousand separate active contracts and/or task orders. In 2003, the ten top revenue-producing contracts accounted for 52.3% of CACI’s revenue, or $440.6 million. One contract for technical engineering fabrication and operations support for the United States Army accounted for 10.2% of total 2003 Company revenue.

 

In 2003, 92.2% of CACI’s revenue came from U.S. Government prime or subcontracts. Of CACI’s total revenue, 63.6% of the Company’s revenue came from U.S. Department of Defense (“DoD”) contracts, 11.2% from contracts with Department of Justice (“DoJ”), and 17.4% from other civilian agency government clients. The remaining 7.8% of revenue came from commercial business, both domestic and international, and state and local contracts.

 

Although the Company is continuously working to diversify its client base, it will continue to aggressively seek additional work from the DoD. In 2003, DoD revenue grew by 23.6%, or $102.3 million. Internal growth accounted for approximately 65% of the increase in DoD revenue. The acquisitions of Digital Systems International Corporation (“DSIC”) in November 2001, the Government Solutions Division of Condor Technology Solutions, Inc. (“Condor”) in August 2002, Acton Burnell, Inc. in October 2002 and Premier Technology Group, Inc. (“PTG”) in May 2003, accounted for approximately the remaining 35% of the DoD revenue growth.

 

During the past three fiscal years, the Company examined a number of opportunities and completed multiple acquisitions. On August 16, 2002, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets of the Government Solutions Divisions of Condor for $16.2 million. The acquired Condor business complements the Company’s systems integration, knowledge management, data mining and purchasing systems solutions for federal clients. On October 16, 2002, the Company acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of Acton Burnell, Inc., for $29.7 million, of which $26.7 million has been paid. The remaining $3.0 million plus interest, will be paid on the first anniversary date of the acquisition. Acton Burnell is an information technology company that provides systems integration, knowledge management, manpower readiness and training, and financial systems solutions for the federal government. On February 28, 2003, the Company purchased all of the outstanding capital stock of Applied Technology Solutions of Northern Virginia, Inc. (“ATS”) for $13.1 million. ATS is an information technology company serving clients in the national intelligence community. On May 15, 2003, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets of Premier Technology Group, Inc., (“PTG”) for $49.0 million of which $45.6 million has been paid. The balance of $3.4 million will be paid in the form of earn out payments tied to the continuation of existing business. PTG provides professional services to clients in the DoD and the intelligence community. On June 6, 2003, the Company acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of Rochester Information

Item 1.    Business (continued)

 

Systems, Ltd. (“RISys”), an United Kingdom company, for $2.9 million of which $2.0 million has been paid. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company will pay the balance of the consideration provided that certain agreed performance targets are met over the next 24 months. RISys specializes in the development and implementation of enterprise information solutions for the UK Public Sector, especially Health, Education and Local Governments.

 

On November 1, 2001, the Company purchased all of the outstanding capital stock of DSIC for $47.0 million. The acquisition was financed through the Company’s existing credit facility. The acquired business implements enterprise resource planning (“ERP”) systems, including large-scale financial and human resource systems, and e-procurement applications; develops client/server and web-enabled applications; operates an enterprise networking and information assurance practice; solves complex business problems with a recognized process modeling and simulation methodology; and provides acquisition/program management consulting services, primarily to the U.S. Government.

 

On December 2, 2000, the Company purchased the federal services business and related assets of N.E.T. Federal, Inc. (“Federal Services Business”) for $25 million in cash plus an additional $2.0 million paid within one year after the purchase. Based on achievement of certain milestones, payments aggregating to $11.5 million of additional consideration were made through June 30, 2003; and an additional payment of up to $1.5 million may be made in FY2004 based upon achievement of other milestones. The acquired business increases the Company’s capabilities in managed network services, fits the Company’s plan for growth in the federal market and complements current offerings to federal and commercial clients.

 

On October 6, 2000, the Company acquired the contracts and selected assets of the Special Projects Division (“Special Projects Business”) of Radian International, LLC (“Radian”), a subsidiary of URS Corporation, for $1.3 million. The Special Projects Business provides services to the intelligence community, which complements the Company’s growing base of business for that market.

 

Seasonal Nature of Business

 

The Company’s business in general is not seasonal, although the summer and winter holiday seasons affect Company revenue because of the impact of holidays and vacations on the Company’s labor sales and on product and service sales by the Company’s international operations. Variations in the Company’s business also may occur at the expiration of major contracts until such contracts are renewed or new business obtained.

 

The U.S. Government’s fiscal year ends on September 30 of each year. It is not uncommon for government agencies to award extra tasks or complete other contract actions in the weeks before the end of the fiscal year in order to avoid the loss of unexpended fiscal year funds. Moreover, in years when the U.S. Government does not complete its budget process before the end of its fiscal year, government operations typically are funded pursuant to a “continuing resolution” that authorizes agencies of the government to continue to operate but traditionally does not authorize new spending initiatives. When the government operates pursuant to a continuing resolution, delays can occur in procurement of products and services, and such delays can affect the Company’s revenue and profit during the period of delay.

 

CACI Employment and Benefits

 

The Company’s employees are its most valuable resource. It is in continuing competition for highly skilled professionals in virtually all of its high technology areas. The success and growth of CACI’s business are significantly correlated with its ability to recruit, train, promote and retain high quality people at all levels of the organization.

 

For these reasons, the Company endeavors to maintain competitive salary structures, incentive compensation programs, fringe benefits, opportunities for growth, and individual recognition and award

 

6


Item 1.    Business (continued)

 

programs. Fringe benefits are generally consistent across the Company’s subsidiaries, and include paid vacations and holidays, medical, dental and life insurance, tuition reimbursement for job-related education and training, and other benefits under various retirement savings and stock purchase plans.

 

The Company has published policies that set high standards for the conduct of its business. It requires all of its employees, consultants, officers, and directors annually to execute and affirm a code of ethics applicable to their activities.

 

Patents, Trademarks, Trade Secrets and Licenses

 

The Company owns one patent in the United States and one patent in Canada. While the Company believes its patents are valid, it does not consider that its business is dependent on patent protection in any material way. CACI claims copyright, trademark and other proprietary rights in a variety of intellectual property, including each of its proprietary computer software and data products and the related documentation. The Company presently owns approximately 23 registered trademarks and service marks in the U.S. and 53 registered trademarks and service marks in other countries, primarily the U.K. All of the Company’s registered trademarks and service marks may be renewed indefinitely. In addition, the Company asserts copyrights in essentially all of its electronic and hard copy publications, its proprietary software and data products and in software produced at the expense of the U.S. Government, which rights can be maintained for up to 75 years. Because most of the Company’s business involves providing services to government entities, the Company’s operations generally are not substantially dependent upon obtaining and/or maintaining copyright or trademark protections, although its operations make use of such protections and benefit from them as discriminators in competition. CACI is also a party to agreements that give it the right to distribute computer software, data and other products owned by other companies, and to receive income from such distribution. As a systems integrator, it is important that the Company maintain access to software, data and products supplied by such third parties, but the Company generally has experienced little difficulty in doing so. The durations of such agreements vary according to the terms of the agreements themselves.

 

The Company maintains a number of trade secrets that contribute to its success and competitive distinction and endeavors to accord such trade secrets protection adequate to ensure their continuing availability to the Company. While retaining protection of its trade secrets and vital confidential information is important, the Company is not materially dependent on maintenance of any specific trade secret or group of trade secrets.

 

Backlog

 

The Company’s backlog as of June 30, 2003 was $2.5 billion, of which $469 million was funded for orders believed to be firm. Total backlog as of June 30, 2002 was $1.9 billion, of which $385 million was for funded orders. The source of backlog is primarily contracts with the U.S. Government. It is presently anticipated, based on current revenue projections, the majority of the funded backlog will be filled during the fiscal year ending June 30, 2004.

 

Business Segments, Foreign Operations, and Major Customer

 

The business segment, foreign operations and major customer information is provided in the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements contained in this Report. In particular, see Note 12, Business Segment Information, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Item 2.    Properties

 

As of June 30, 2003, CACI leased office space at 81 U.S. locations containing an aggregate of approximately 1,173,255 square feet located in 24 states and the District of Columbia. In two countries outside the U.S., CACI leased five offices containing an aggregate of about 23,000 square feet. CACI’s leases expire primarily within the next four years, with the exception of four leases in Northern Virginia, which will expire within the next 6 to 9 years. CACI anticipates that most of these leases will be renewed or replaced by other leases.

 

All of CACI’s offices are in reasonably modern and well-maintained buildings. The facilities are substantially utilized and adequate for present operations.

 

As of June 30, 2003, CACI International Inc maintained its corporate headquarters in approximately 89,000 square feet of space at 1100 North Glebe Road, Arlington, Virginia. See Note 10, Commitments and Contingencies, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, for additional information regarding the Company’s lease commitments.

 

Item 3.    Legal Proceedings

 

Appeal of CACI International Inc, ASBCA No.5305

 

Reference is made to Part II, Item 3, Legal Proceedings, in the Registrant’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2003, for the most recently filed information concerning the appeal filed on September 27, 2000, with the Armed Services Board of Contract Appeals (“ASBCA”) challenging the Defense Information Systems Agency’s (“DISA”) denial of its claim for breach of contract damages. The appeal seeks damages arising from DISA’s breach of a license agreement pursuant to which the DoD agreed to conduct all electronic data interchanges (which can be broadly understood to mean e-commerce) exclusively through certified value-added networks, such as the network maintained by Registrant’s wholly-owned subsidiary, CACI, INC.-FEDERAL, for the period from September 2, 1994 through April 22, 1998. By decision of March 22, 2001, in the companion case of GAP Instrument Corporation, ASBCA No.51658 (2001), the ASBCA held that the Government’s failure to conduct all electronic data interchanges exclusively through certified value-added networks constituted a breach of contract.

 

Since the filing of Registrant’s last Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the parties have been engaged in discovery efforts. The ASBCA has set the end of September as the discovery period cutoff and scheduled the hearing of the matter for November 10, 2003.

Item 3.    Legal Proceedings (continued)

 

CACI Dynamics Systems, Inc. v. Delphinus Engineering, Inc., et al

 

Reference is made to Part II, Item 3, Legal Proceedings in the Registrant’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2003 for the most recently filed information concerning the suit filed on October 1, 2002 in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia against Delphinus Engineering, Inc., V. Allen Spicer and James R. Everett seeking damages and attorney’s fees arising from defendant’s efforts to move business from CACI to Delphinus.

 

Since the filing of Registrant’s report described above, the claims against defendants Delphinus and Everett were tried to a jury, which returned verdicts of $450,000 against Delphinus and $115,000 against Everett. Both parties have filed post-trial motions seeking adjustments to the jury verdict and are awaiting the Court’s decision. The arbitration of claims against V. Allen Spicer will be litigated in South Carolina after receipt of the Court’s decision on the post trial motions.

 

Item 4.    Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders

 

No matter was submitted to a vote of security holders during the fourth quarter of the Registrant’s fiscal year ended June 30, 2003, through the solicitation of proxies or otherwise. The Registrant intends to present a slate of director candidates and the ratification of the appointment of outside auditors for a vote of security holders in connection with its 2003 Annual Meeting of Stockholders on November 20, 2003.

The Registrant has never paid a cash dividend. The present policy of the Registrant is to retain earnings to provide funds for the operation and expansion of its business. The Registrant does not intend to pay any cash dividends at this time.

 

At August 31, 2003, the number of stockholders of record of the Registrant’s Common Stock was approximately 521. The number of stockholders of record is not representative of the number of beneficial stockholders due to the fact that many shares are held by depositories, brokers, or nominees.

Item 7.    Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition & Results of Operations

 

The following discussion and analysis is provided to enhance the understanding of, and should be read in conjunction with, the Financial Statements and the related Notes. All years refer to the Company’s fiscal year which ends on June 30 and have been restated for consistent presentation of discontinued operations.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

Critical accounting policies are defined as those that are reflective of significant judgments and uncertainties, and potentially result in materially different results under different assumptions and conditions. Application of these policies is particularly important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations. We consider the following accounting policies to be our critical accounting policies:

 

Revenue Recognition/Contract Accounting

 

The Company generates its revenue from three different types of contractual arrangements: cost-plus-fee contracts; time and materials contracts; and fixed price contracts. Revenue on cost-plus-fee contracts is recognized to the extent of allowable costs incurred plus an estimate of the applicable fees earned. The Company considers fixed fees under cost-plus-fee contracts to be earned in proportion of the allowable costs incurred in performance of the contract. For cost-plus-fee contracts that include performance based fee incentives, the Company recognizes the relevant portion of the expected fee to be awarded by the customer at the time such fee can be reasonably estimated, based on factors such as the Company’s prior award experience and communications with the customer regarding performance. Revenue on time-and-material contracts is recognized to the extent of billable rates times hours delivered plus allowable expenses incurred.

 

The Company has four basic categories of fixed price contracts; fixed unit price; fixed price-level of effort; fixed price-completion; and fixed price-license. Revenue on fixed unit price contracts, where specified units of output under service arrangements are delivered, is recognized as units are delivered based on the specified price per unit. Revenue on fixed unit price maintenance contracts is recognized ratably over the length of the service period. Revenue for fixed price level of effort contracts is recognized based upon the number of units of labor actually delivered multiplied by the agreed rate for each unit of labor.

 

A significant portion of the Company’s fixed price-completion contracts involve the design and development of complex, client systems. For these contracts that are within the scope of Statement of Position 81-1, Accounting for Performance of Construction-Type and Certain Production-Type Contracts (SOP 81-1), revenue is recognized on the percentage of completion method using costs incurred in relation to total estimated costs. For fixed price-completion contracts that are not within the scope of SOP 81-1, revenue is generally recognized ratably over the service period. The Company’s fixed price license agreements and related services contracts are primarily executed in its international operations. As the agreements to deliver software require significant production, modification or customization of software, revenue is recognized using the contract accounting guidance of SOP 81-1. For agreements to deliver data under license and related services, revenue is recognized as the data is delivered and services are performed. Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are recorded in the period such losses are determined.

 

Contract accounting requires judgment relative to assessing risks, estimating contract revenues and costs, and making assumptions for schedule and technical issues. Due to the size and nature of many of our contracts, the estimation of total revenues and cost at completion is complicated and subject to many variables. Contract costs include material, labor and subcontracting costs, as well as an allocation of allowable indirect costs. Assumptions have to be made regarding the length of time to complete the contract because costs also include expected increases in wages and prices for materials. For contract change orders, claims or similar items, we apply judgment in estimating the amounts and assessing the potential for realization. These amounts are only included in contract value when they can be reliably estimated and realization is considered probable. Incentives

Item 7.    Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition & Results of Operations (continued)

 

or penalties related to performance on contracts are considered in estimating sales and profit rates, and are recorded when there is sufficient information for us to assess anticipated performance. Estimates of award fees for certain contracts are also a significant factor in estimating revenue and profit rates based on actual and anticipated awards.

 

Products and services provided under long-term development and production contracts make up a large portion of our business, and therefore the amounts we record in our financial statements using contract accounting methods and cost accounting standards are material. For our federal contracts, we follow U.S. Government procurement and accounting standards in assessing the allowability and the allocability of costs to contracts. Because of the significance of the judgments and estimation processes, it is likely that materially different amounts could be recorded if we used different assumptions or if the underlying circumstances were to change. We closely monitor compliance with and the consistent application of our critical accounting policies related to contract accounting. Business operations personnel conduct thorough periodic contract status and performance reviews. When adjustments in estimated contract revenues or costs are required, any changes from prior estimates are generally included in earnings in the current period. Also, regular and recurring evaluations of contract cost, scheduling and technical matters are performed by management personnel who are independent from the business operations personnel performing work under the contract. Costs incurred and allocated to contracts with the U.S. Government are scrutinized for compliance with regulatory standards by our personnel, and are subject to audit by the Defense Contract Audit Agency (“DCAA”).

 

Stock Compensation

 

We currently account for stock options using the intrinsic value method in accordance with Accounting Principle Board (“APB”), Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, as interpreted by FASB Interpretation No. 44, Accounting for Certain Transactions Involving Stock Compensation. Accordingly, no compensation cost has been recognized for the granting of stock options to our employees and directors for the years ended June 30, 2003, 2002 and 2001 respectively. Alternative guidance exists under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation which requires companies to determine the fair value of options at the time of grant and to recognize compensation expense over the service period. If stock options granted during these years had been accounted for based on their fair value as determined under SFAS No. 123, the pro forma earnings would have been as follows:

Item 7.    Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition & Results of Operations (continued)

 

The fair value of each option granted is estimated on the grant date using a fair-value option pricing model. These pro forma results may not be indicative of future results due to the potential grants vesting and other factors.

 

Investments in Marketable Securities

 

The Company invests in marketable securities, which are currently classified as available-for-sale or trading using the accounting guidance in SFAS No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities. As a result of this classification, unrealized gains and losses as a result of changes in fair value of the available-for-sale investments are recorded as a separate component within the Stockholders’ Equity section of the balance sheet. If these securities were instead determined to be trading securities, any unrealized gains or losses would be reported in the Statement of Operations and therefore, would impact the net earnings currently being reported. To date, we do not believe that a different classification would have had a significant impact on our financial results.

 

Allowance For Doubtful Accounts

 

Management establishes bad debt reserves against certain billed receivables based upon the latest information available to determine whether invoices are ultimately collectable. Whenever judgment is involved in determining the estimates, there is the potential for bad debt expense and the fair value of accounts receivable to be misstated. Given that we primarily serve the U.S. government and that, in our opinion, we have sufficient controls in place to properly recognize revenue, we believe the risk to be relatively low that a misstatement of accounts receivable would have a material impact on our financial results.

For the year ended June 30, 2003, the Company’s total revenue increased by $161.2 million, or 23.6%. The revenue growth was driven primarily by increased demand from federal government customers along with the revenue related to the Condor, Acton Burnell, Inc., ATS and PTG acquisitions described in Item 1 above. During fiscal year 2002 (“FY2002”) total revenue increased $124.1 million, or 22.2%. This increase was primarily from higher levels of managed network and systems integration business from federal government customers along with the acquisition of DSIC.

 

All of the Company’s acquisitions have been accounted for using the purchase method of accounting and the results of their operations have been included in the Company’s financial statements since the date of acquisition. Acquisitions accounted for $72.7 million of the Company’s FY2003 revenue, with the acquisition revenue being defined as revenue generated by the acquired company during the first 12 months subsequent to the acquisition. As previously noted in Item 1, on November 1, 2001, the Company purchased all of the outstanding capital stock of DSIC. In FY2003, DSIC contributed approximately $22.5 million towards the incremental growth in revenue for the year. On August 15, 2002, the Company closed the Condor acquisition, which contributed $15.2 million of revenue in FY2003. On October 16, 2002, the Company acquired Acton Burnell, which contributed $26.4 million in revenue. On February 28, 2003, the Company acquired ATS, which contributed $2.7 million in revenue. On May 15, 2003, the Company completed the PTG acquisition, which contributed $5.2 million of revenue. Other acquisitions accounted for $0.7 million of revenues for FY2003.

 

Revenue from DoD increased 23.6%, or $102.3 million, for FY2003 as compared to FY2002. DoD revenue growth was driven primarily by higher demand from customers, such as the Defense Information Systems Agency (“DISA”), the U.S. Army’s Communications Electronics Command (“CECOM”), and the defense intelligence community, as well as the aforementioned DSIC, Condor, Acton Burnell and PTG acquisitions. DoD revenue growth in FY2002 of 33.5%, or $108.8 million, was primarily due to internal growth in the managed network and engineering services business as well as the DSIC and Federal Services Business acquisitions.

 

Revenue from Federal Civilian Agencies increased 31.0%, or $57.1 million, for FY2003 as compared to FY2002. Approximately 39.1% of Federal Civilian Agency revenue was derived from DoJ, for which the Company provides litigation support services and maintains an automated debt management system. Revenue from DoJ was $94.4 million, $89.8 million and $72.7 million in FY2003, FY2002 and FY2001, respectively. In FY2003, the Company also experienced increased revenue growth of 55.5%, or $52.5 million, from Federal Civilian Agencies other than DoJ as compared to FY2002. The increase was primarily due to the higher volumes of work from customers such as the Department of Veterans Affairs (“VA”), the U.S. Customs Services, and the national intelligence community, along with the aforementioned acquisitions. In FY2002, as compared to FY2001, the Company showed revenue growth of 23.7%, or $18.1 million, from Federal Civilian Agencies other than DoJ. The increase was primarily due to our acquisition of DSIC and increased task orders from the Company’s GWAC contracts.

 

Commercial revenue is derived from both international and domestic operations. The international operations accounted for 78.5%, or $40.4 million, of the total Commercial revenue while the domestic operations

 

15


Item 7.    Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition & Results of Operations (continued)

 

accounted for 21.5%, or $11.0 million. Commercial revenue increased by 4.1%, or $2.0 million, in FY2003 as compared to the same period a year ago. The entire growth of Commercial revenue came from the domestic operations of the Company and was due primarily to the Condor acquisition. Revenue produced by international operations has remained relatively flat due to the continued weakness in the telecom and commercial IT services industries in the United Kingdom. In FY2002, as compared to FY2001, commercial revenue decreased by 19.1%, or $11.7 million. This decrease came from the Company’s exposure to the weak international telecommunications market in the United Kingdom.

 

Revenue from State and Local Governments decreased slightly by 2.0%, or $0.3 million, to $14.0 million for the year ended June 30, 2003 as compared to the same period a year ago. In FY2002 as compared to FY2001, revenue from State and Local Governments decreased by 36.8%, or $8.3 million, to $14.3 million. Revenue from State and Local Governments represented 1.7% and 2.1% of the Company’s total revenue in FY2003 and FY2002, respectively. The Company’s continued and expanded focus on DoD and federal civilian agency opportunities has resulted in a reduced emphasis on State and Local Governments business.

 

Income from Operations.    Operating income increased 32.6%, or $17.3 million, in FY2003 as compared to the same period a year ago. The Company’s growth in operating margin was driven primarily by contract mix, with more profitable fixed price and time and material work during FY2003 as compared to FY2002. Internal growth was complemented by the four acquisitions described in Item 1 that were all immediately accretive to operating income. In FY2002 as compared to FY2001 operating income increased 42.2%, or $15.7 million. The adoption of SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, (see Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements), which discontinued the amortization of goodwill, accounted for operating income growth of 32.7% in that period. The balance of the FY2002 increase in operating income was due to an increased volume of business, higher gross margins across all service offerings and the acquisition of DSIC.

 

During the last three years, as a percentage of revenue, total direct costs were 61.4%, 61.8% and 61.4%, respectively. Direct costs include direct labor and “other direct costs” such as equipment purchases, subcontract costs and travel expenses. Other direct costs are common in our industry, typically are incurred in response to specific client tasks and vary from period to period. The largest component of direct costs, direct labor, was $251.6 million, $210.2 million and $171.4 million in FY2003, FY2002 and FY2001, respectively. The increase in direct labor during the last two fiscal years is attributable to the internal growth in our Federal Government business both in the DoD and Federal Civilian Agencies as well as from the Condor, Acton Burnell, ATS, PTG, DSIC and Federal Services Business acquisitions. Other direct costs were $266.3 million, $211.3 million and $170.8 million in FY2003, FY2002, and FY2001, respectively. The increase in other direct costs over the past two years was primarily the result of increased volume of tasking across all service offerings and the aforementioned acquisitions.

 

Indirect costs and selling expenses include fringe benefits, marketing and bid and proposal costs, indirect labor and other discretionary costs. Most of these expenses are highly variable and have grown in dollar volume generally in proportion to the growth in revenue. As a percentage of revenue, indirect costs and selling expenses were 28.8%, 28.6% and 29.5% for FY2003, FY2002 and FY2001, respectively.

 

Depreciation and amortization increased by 3.9%, or $0.5 million, in FY2003 as compared to FY2002. The increase was attributable to both assets acquired in acquisitions, and new capital expenditures to support on-going business offset partially by lower capitalized software amortization in FY2003. In FY2002 as compared to FY2001, depreciation and amortization expense increased 42.3%, or $3.6 million. This increase was partly due to the amortization of intangible assets purchased in recent acquisitions (which was reported as a component of “goodwill amortization” in prior periods). The remainder of the increase was primarily due to the completion of amortizing certain software developed for internal use and new capital expenditures to support on-going business.

Item 7.    Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition & Results of Operations (continued)

 

Interest income increased by 184.7%, or $3.0 million, in FY2003 as compared to FY2002. This increase was attributable to the Company having cash and equivalents and short-term marketable securities averaging in excess of $100 million during FY2003. The cash was generated primarily from both the Company’s secondary stock offering in March 2003 and from operations. Prior to this offering, the Company funded its operations and acquisitions with borrowings from its line of credit. The cash and equivalents and short-term marketable securities generated over $2.0 million of interest income in FY2003.

 

Interest expense decreased 51.1%, or $1.7 million, in FY2002 as compared to FY2001 due to the offering proceeds used to pay down the line of credit. The Company generated $0.6 million of interest income in FY2002, which was offset against interest expense.

 

The effective income tax rates in FY2003, FY2002 and FY2001, were 37.7%, 38.0% and 39.0%, respectively, which differed from the federal statutory rate of 35.0% primarily due to state and local income taxes and certain non-deductible expenses.

 

Quarterly Financial Information

 

Quarterly financial data for the two most recent fiscal years is provided in the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements contained in this report. See Note 16, Quarterly Financial Data (unaudited) in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

Effects of Inflation

 

Approximately 17% of the Company’s business is conducted under cost-reimbursable contracts which automatically adjust revenue to cover costs increased by inflation. Approximately 65% of the business is under time-and-materials contracts where labor rates are often fixed for several years. The Company generally has been able to price these contracts in a manner that accommodates the rates of inflation experienced in recent years. The remaining portion of the Company’s business is fixed-price and may span multiple years. However, these contracts are priced to account for likely inflation from period to period to mitigate the risk of our business being adversely affected by inflation.

Historically, the Company’s positive cash flow from operations and its available credit facilities have provided adequate liquidity and working capital to fully fund the Company’s operational needs. Since March 2002, the proceeds from the Company’s offering of approximately 4.9 million shares of stock have been the Company’s principal source of liquidity and capital. As a result of such proceeds combined with positive cash flow from operations, working capital was $182.6 million and $228.8 million as of June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively. The proceeds of the secondary offering were used to pay off debt and fund additional acquisitions and will continue to be used in the Company’s on-going acquisition activities. Operating activities provided cash of $75.9 million and $41.0 million for FY2003 and FY2002, respectively. The increase in cash provided by operating activities is attributed primarily to the growth in earnings and the timing of cash disbursements.

 

The Company used $113.2 million in investing activities in FY2003 and $71.0 million for the same period last year. This increase was primarily attributable to the Company’s on-going acquisition activities offset slightly by the sale of certain marketable securities.

 

During FY2003, the Company used cash from its financing activities of $21.5 million primarily to repay $25 million of borrowings under its line of credit, offset partially by $3.6 million in cash proceeds from the exercise of stock options. In FY2002, the Company generated $145.2 million primarily from the secondary stock

offering in March 2002 and proceeds generated from the exercise of stock options. This was offset by net payments of approximately $23.9 million under the Company’s line of credit.

 

In anticipation of continuing its strategy of acquisitions and in order to secure lower interest rates, on February 4, 2002, the Company executed a five year unsecured revolving line of credit. The agreement permits borrowings of up to $185 million with a sublimit of $75 million per year on amounts borrowed for acquisitions. The applicable interest rate is based on LIBOR plus a margin. In addition, the Company pays a fee on the unused portion of the facility. The margin rate and unused portion fee are determined quarterly based on leverage, net worth and fixed charge average ratios. In addition, the agreement has covenants that obligate the Company to operate within certain limits on those same ratios. The Company is currently in compliance with those covenants. The Company also maintains a 500,000 pounds sterling unsecured line of credit in London, England which expires in December 2003. As of June 30, 2003, the Company had no borrowings under either of these lines of credit.

 

The Company believes that the combination of internally generated funds, available bank borrowings and cash and cash equivalents on hand will provide the required liquidity and capital resources for the foreseeable future.

 

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk

 

As of June 30, 2003, we had investments in marketable securities valued at $15.3 million. All of these securities consisted of highly liquid investments that had remaining maturities of less than 365 days at June 30, 2003. These investments are subject to interest rate risk and will decrease in value if market interest rates increase. Hypothetically, a 10% increase or decrease in market interest rates from the June 30, 2003 rates would not cause a material change in the value of these short-term investments. We have the ability to hold these investments until maturity, and therefore we do not expect the value of these investments to be affected to any significant degree by the effect of a sudden change in market interest rates. Declines in interest rates over time will, however, reduce our interest income. As of June 30, 2003, we did not own any equity investments. Therefore, we did not have any material equity price risk.

 

On January 8, 2001, the Company entered into a two year interest rate swap agreement with a notional amount of $25 million under which the Company paid a fixed interest rate of 5.15% plus the applicable spread and received the prevailing LIBOR interest rate, plus applicable spread over the two year term of the swap agreement without the exchange of the underlying notional amounts. On January 8, 2003 the two year term matured and the entire $25 million was paid in full. The Company elected not to renew or enter into any new swap agreement.

 

Approximately 4.8% and 6.0% of the Company’s total revenues in FY2003 and FY2002, respectively, were derived from customers of our international operations, primarily in the United Kingdom. The Company’s practice in its international operations is to negotiate contracts in the same currency in which the predominant expenses are incurred, thereby mitigating the exposure to foreign currency exchange fluctuations. It is not possible to accomplish this in all cases; thus, there is some risk that profits will be affected by foreign currency exchange fluctuations. As of June 30, 2003 the Company had approximately $16.4 million in cash held in pounds sterling in the United Kingdom. This allows the Company to better utilize its cash resources on behalf of its foreign subsidiaries, thereby mitigating foreign currency conversion risks.

 

Forward Looking Statements

 

There are statements made herein which may not address historical facts and, therefore, could be interpreted to be forward looking statements as that term is defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such statements are subject to factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from anticipated results.

 

18


Item 7.    Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition & Results of Operations (continued)

 

The factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated include, but are not limited to, the following:

 

We depend on contracts with the federal government for a substantial majority of our revenue, and our business could be seriously harmed if the government ceased doing business with us.

 

We derived 92.2% of our total revenue in FY2003 and 90.7% of our total revenue in FY2002 from federal government contracts, either as a prime contractor or a subcontractor. We derived 63.6% of our total revenue in FY2003 and 63.7% of our total revenue in FY2002 from contracts with agencies of the DoD. We expect that federal government contracts will continue to be the primary source of our revenue for the foreseeable future. If we were suspended or debarred from contracting with the federal government generally, or with any significant agency in the intelligence community or the DoD, or if our reputation or relationship with government agencies were impaired, or if the government otherwise ceased doing business with us or significantly decreased the amount of business it does with us, our business, prospects, financial condition and operating results could differ materially from those anticipated.

 

Our business could be adversely affected by changes in budgetary priorities of the federal government.

 

Because we derive a substantial majority of our revenue from contracts with the federal government, we believe that the success and development of our business will continue to depend on our successful participation in federal government contract programs. Changes in federal government budgetary priorities could directly affect our financial performance. A significant decline in government expenditures, or a shift of expenditures away from programs that we support or a change in federal government contracting policies, could cause federal government agencies to reduce their purchases under contracts, to exercise their right to terminate contracts at any time without penalty or not to exercise options to renew contracts. Any such actions could cause our actual results to differ materially from those anticipated. Among the factors that could seriously affect our federal government contracting business are:

 

    changes in federal government programs or requirements;

 

    budgetary priorities limiting or delaying federal government spending generally, or specific departments or agencies in particular, and changes in fiscal policies or available funding, including potential governmental shutdowns (such as that which occurred during the government’s 1996 fiscal year);

 

    an increase in set-asides for small businesses that could result in our inability to compete directly for prime contracts; and

 

    curtailment of the federal government’s use of technology solutions firms.

 

Our federal government contracts may be terminated by the government at any time and may contain other unenforceable provisions, and if not replaced, our operating results may differ materially from those anticipated.

 

We derive substantially all of our revenue from federal government contracts that typically span one or more base years and one or more option years. The option periods typically cover more than half of the contract’s potential duration. Federal government agencies generally have the right not to exercise these option periods. In addition, our contracts typically also contain provisions permitting a government client to terminate the contract for its convenience. A decision not to exercise option periods or to terminate contracts could result in significant revenue shortfalls from those anticipated.

 

19


Item 7.    Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition & Results of Operations (continued)

 

Federal government contracts contain numerous provisions that are unfavorable to us.

 

Federal government contracts contain provisions and are subject to laws and regulations that give the government rights and remedies, some of which are not typically found in commercial contracts, including allowing the government to:

 

    cancel multi-year contracts and related orders if funds for contract performance for any subsequent year become unavailable;

 

    claim rights in systems and software developed by us;

 

    suspend or debar us from doing business with the federal government or with a governmental agency, impose fines and penalties and subject us to criminal prosecution; and

 

    control or prohibit the export of our data and technology.

 

If the government terminates a contract for convenience, we may recover only our incurred or committed costs, settlement expenses and profit on work completed prior to the termination. If the government terminates a contract for default, we may be unable to recover even those amounts, and instead may be liable for excess costs incurred by the government in procuring undelivered items and services from another source. Depending on the value of a contract, such termination could cause our actual results to differ materially from those anticipated. As is common with government contractors, we have experienced and continue to experience occasional performance issues under certain of our contracts. Certain contracts also contain organizational conflict of interest clauses that limit our ability to compete for certain related follow-on contracts. For example, when we work on the design of a particular system, we may be precluded from competing for the contract to install that system. Depending upon the value of the matters affected, a performance problem or organizational conflict of interest issue that precludes our participation in a program or contract could cause our actual results to differ materially from those anticipated.

 

If we fail to establish and maintain important relationships with government entities and agencies, our ability to successfully bid for new business may be adversely affected.

 

To facilitate our ability to prepare bids for new business, we rely in part on establishing and maintaining relationships with officials of various government entities and agencies. These relationships enable us to provide informal input and advice to government entities and agencies prior to the development of a formal bid. We may be unable to successfully maintain our relationships with government entities and agencies, and any failure to do so may adversely affect our ability to bid successfully for new business and could cause our actual results to differ materially from those anticipated.

 

We derive significant revenue from contracts and task orders awarded through a competitive bidding process. If we are unable to consistently win new awards over any extended period, our business and prospects will be adversely affected.

 

Substantially all of our contracts and task orders with the federal government are awarded through a competitive bidding process. We expect that much of the business that we will seek in the foreseeable future will continue to be awarded through competitive bidding. Recently, members of Congress and administration officials have proposed changes to the procurement process intended to increase competition among suppliers to the federal government. Budgetary pressures and reforms in the procurement process have caused many federal government clients to increasingly purchase goods and services through ID/IQ, contracts, or GSA contracts, and other GWAC contracts. These contracts, some of which are awarded to multiple contractors, have increased competition and pricing pressure, requiring that we make sustained post-award efforts to realize revenue under each such contract. Moreover, even if we are highly qualified to work on a particular new contract, we might not be awarded business because of the federal government’s policy and practice of maintaining a diverse contracting base.

 

20


Item 7.    Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition & Results of Operations (continued)

 

This competitive bidding process presents a number of risks, including the following:

 

    we bid on programs before the completion of their design, which may result in unforeseen technological difficulties and cost overruns;

 

    we expend substantial cost and managerial time and effort to prepare bids and proposals for contracts that we may not win;

 

    we may be unable to estimate accurately the resources and cost structure that will be required to service any contract we win; and

 

    we may encounter expense and delay if our competitors protest or challenge awards of contracts to us in competitive bidding, and any such protest or challenge could result in the resubmission of bids on modified specifications, or in the termination, reduction or modification of the awarded contract.

 

If we are unable to win particular contracts, we may be foreclosed from providing to clients services that are purchased under those contracts for a number of years. If we are unable to consistently win new contract awards over any extended period, our business and prospects will be adversely affected and that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those anticipated. In addition, upon the expiration of a contract, if the client requires further services of the type provided by the contract, there is frequently a competitive rebidding process. There can be no assurance that we will win any particular bid, or that we will be able to replace business lost upon expiration or completion of a contract, and the termination or non-renewal of any of our significant contracts could cause our actual results to differ materially from those anticipated.

 

Our business may suffer if we or our employees are unable to obtain the security clearances or other qualifications we and they need to perform services for our clients.

 

Many of our federal government contracts require us to have security clearances and employ personnel with specified levels of education, work experience and security clearances. Depending on the level of clearance, security clearances can be difficult and time-consuming to obtain. If we or our employees lose or are unable to obtain necessary security clearances, we may not be able to win new business and our existing clients could terminate their contracts with us or decide not to renew them. To the extent we cannot obtain or maintain the required security clearances for our employees working on a particular contract, we may not derive the revenue anticipated from the contract, which could cause our results to differ materially from those anticipated.

 

We must comply with a variety of laws and regulations, and our failure to comply could cause our actual results to differ materially from those anticipated.

 

We must observe laws and regulations relating to the formation, administration and performance of federal government contracts which affect how we do business with our clients and may impose added costs on our business. For example, the Federal Acquisition Regulation and the industrial security regulations of the DoD and related laws include provisions that:

 

    allow our federal government clients to terminate or not renew our contracts if we come under foreign ownership, control or influence;

 

    require us to disclose and certify cost and pricing data in connection with contract negotiations; and

 

    require us to prevent unauthorized access to classified information.

 

Our failure to comply with these or other laws and regulations could result in contract termination, loss of security clearances, suspension or debarment from contracting with the federal government, civil fines and damages and criminal prosecution and penalties, any of which could cause our actual results to differ materially from those anticipated.

 

21


Item 7.    Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition & Results of Operations (continued)

 

The federal government may reform its procurement or other practices in a manner adverse to us.

 

The federal government may reform its procurement practices or adopt new contracting rules and regulations, such as cost accounting standards. It could also adopt new contracting methods relating to GSA contracts or other government-wide contracts, or adopt new socio-economic requirements. These changes could impair our ability to obtain new contracts or win re-competed contracts. Any new contracting methods could be costly or administratively difficult for us to satisfy, and, as a result could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated.

 

Restrictions on or other changes to the federal government’s use of service contracts may harm our operating results.

 

We derive a significant amount of revenue from service contracts with the federal government. The government may face restrictions from new legislation, regulations or government union pressures, on the nature and amount of services the government may obtain from private contractors. Any reduction in the government’s use of private contractors to provide federal services could cause our actual results to differ materially from those anticipated.

 

Our contracts and administrative processes and systems are subject to audits and cost adjustments by the federal government, which could reduce our revenue, disrupt our business or otherwise adversely affect our results of operations.

 

Federal government agencies, including the DCAA, routinely audit and investigate government contracts and government contractors’ administrative processes and systems. These agencies review our performance on contracts, pricing practices, cost structure and compliance with applicable laws, regulations and standards. They also review our compliance with government regulations and policies and the adequacy of our internal control systems and policies, including our purchasing, property, estimating, compensation and management information systems. Any costs found to be improperly allocated to a specific contract will not be reimbursed, and any such costs already reimbursed must be refunded. Moreover, if any of the administrative processes and systems is found not to comply with requirements, we may be subjected to increased government scrutiny and approval that could delay or otherwise adversely affect our ability to compete for or perform contracts. Therefore, an unfavorable outcome to an audit by DCAA or another government agency could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated. If a government investigation uncovers improper or illegal activities, we may be subject to civil and criminal penalties and administrative sanctions, including termination of contracts, forfeitures of profits, suspension of payments, fines and suspension or debarment from doing business with the federal government. In addition, we could suffer serious reputational harm if allegations of impropriety were made against us. Each of these results could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated.

 

Failure to maintain strong relationships with other contractors could result in a decline in our revenue.

 

We derive substantial revenue from contracts in which we act as a subcontractor or from teaming arrangements in which we and other contractors bid on particular contracts or programs. As a subcontractor or teammate, we often lack control over fulfillment of a contract, and poor performance on the contract could tarnish our reputation, even when we perform as required. We expect to continue to depend on relationships with other contractors for a portion of our revenue in the foreseeable future. Moreover, our revenue and operating results could differ materially from those anticipated if any prime contractor or teammate chose to offer directly to the client services of the type that we provide or if they team with other companies to provide those services.

 

We may not receive the full amounts authorized under the contracts included in our backlog, which could reduce our revenue in future periods below the levels anticipated.

 

Our backlog consists of funded backlog, which is based on amounts actually obligated by a client for payment of goods and services, and unfunded backlog, which is based upon management’s estimate of the future

 

22


Item 7.    Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition & Results of Operations (continued)

 

potential of our existing contracts and task orders, including options, to generate revenue. Our backlog may not result in actual revenue in any particular period, or at all, which could cause our actual results to differ materially from those anticipated.

 

The maximum contract value specified under a government contract or task order awarded to us is not necessarily indicative of the revenues that we will realize under that contract. For example, we derive a substantial portion of our revenue from government contracts in which we are not the sole provider, meaning that the government could turn to other companies to fulfill the contract. We also derive revenues from ID/IQ contracts, which do not require the government to purchase a material amount of goods or services under the contract. Action by the government to obtain support from other contractors or failure of the government to order the quantity of work anticipated could cause our actual results to differ materially from those anticipated.

 

Without additional Congressional appropriations, some of the contracts included in our backlog will remain unfunded which could significantly harm our prospects.

 

Although many of our federal government contracts require performance over a period of years, Congress often appropriates funds for these contracts for only one year at a time. As a result, our contracts typically are only partially funded at any point during their term, and all or some of the work intended to be performed under the contracts will remain unfunded pending subsequent Congressional appropriations and the obligation of additional funds to the contract by the procuring agency. Nevertheless, we estimate our share of the contract values, including values based on the assumed exercise of options relating to these contracts, in calculating the amount of our backlog. Because we may not receive the full amount we expect under a contract, our estimate of our backlog may be inaccurate and we may post results that differ materially from those anticipated.

 

Employee misconduct, including security breaches, could result in the loss of clients and our suspension or disbarment from contracting with the federal government.

 

We may be unable to prevent our employees from engaging in misconduct, fraud or other improper activities that could adversely affect our business and reputation. Misconduct could include the failure to comply with federal government procurement regulations, regulations regarding the protection of classified information and legislation regarding the pricing of labor and other costs in government contracts. Many of the systems we develop involve managing and protecting information involved in national security and other sensitive government functions. A security breach in one of these systems could prevent us from having access to such critically sensitive systems. Other examples of employee misconduct could include time card fraud and violations of the Anti-Kickback Act. The precautions we take to prevent and detect this activity may not be effective, and we could face unknown risks or losses. As a result of employee misconduct, we could face fines and penalties, loss of security clearance and suspension or debarment from contracting with the federal government, which could cause our actual results to differ materially from those anticipated.

 

Our failure to attract and retain qualified employees, including our senior management team, could adversely affect our business.

 

Our continued success depends to a substantial degree on our ability to recruit and retain the technically skilled personnel we need to serve our clients effectively. Our business involves the development of tailored solutions for our clients, a process that relies heavily upon the expertise and services of our employees. Accordingly, our employees are our most valuable resource. Competition for skilled personnel in the information technology services industry is intense, and technology service companies often experience high attrition among their skilled employees. There is a shortage of people capable of filling these positions and they are likely to remain a limited resource for the foreseeable future. Recruiting and training these personnel require substantial resources. Our failure to attract and retain technical personnel could increase our costs of performing our contractual obligations, reduce our ability to efficiently satisfy our clients’ needs, limit our ability to win new business and cause our actual results to differ materially from those anticipated.

 

23


Item 7.    Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition & Results of Operations (continued)

 

In addition to attracting and retaining qualified technical personnel, we believe that our success will depend on the continued employment of our senior management team and its ability to generate new business and execute projects successfully. Our senior management team is very important to our business because personal reputations and individual business relationships are a critical element of obtaining and maintaining client engagements in our industry, particularly with agencies performing classified operations. The loss of any of our senior executives could cause us to lose client relationships or new business opportunities, which could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated.

 

Our markets are highly competitive, and many of the companies we compete against have substantially greater resources.

 

The markets in which we operate include a large number of participants and are highly competitive. Many of our competitors may compete more effectively than we can because they are larger, better financed and better known companies than we are. In order to stay competitive in our industry, we must also keep pace with changing technologies and client preferences. If we are unable to differentiate our services from those of our competitors, our revenue may decline. In addition, our competitors have established relationships among themselves or with third parties to increase their ability to address client needs. As a result, new competitors or alliances among competitors may emerge and compete more effectively than we can. There is also a significant industry trend towards consolidation, which may result in the emergence of companies who are better able to compete against us. The results of these competitive pressures could cause our actual results to differ materially from those anticipated.

 

Our quarterly revenue and operating results could be volatile.

 

Our quarterly revenue and operating results may fluctuate significantly and unpredictably in the future. In particular, if the federal government does not adopt, or delays adoption of, a budget for each fiscal year beginning on October 1, or fails to pass a continuing resolution, federal agencies may be forced to suspend our contracts and delay the award of new and follow-on contracts and orders due to a lack of funding. Further, the rate at which the federal government procures technology may be negatively affected following changes in presidential administrations and senior government officials. Therefore, period-to-period comparisons of our operating results may not be a good indication of our future performance. Our quarterly operating results may not meet the expectations of securities analysts or investors, which in turn may have an adverse effect on the market price of our common stock. Our quarterly operating results may also fluctuate due to impairment of goodwill charges required by recent changes in accounting standards.

 

We may lose money or generate less than anticipated profits if we do not accurately estimate the cost of an engagement which is conducted on a fixed-price basis.

 

We perform a portion of our engagements on a fixed-price basis. We derived 18.7% of our total revenue in FY2003 and 19.5% of our total revenue in FY2002 from fixed-price contracts. Fixed price contracts require us to price our contracts by predicting our expenditures in advance. In addition, some of our engagements obligate us to provide ongoing maintenance and other supporting or ancillary services on a fixed-price basis or with limitations on our ability to increase prices. Many of our engagements are also on a time-and-material basis. While these types of contracts are generally subject to less uncertainty than fixed-price contracts, to the extent that our actual labor costs are higher than the contract rates, our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated.

 

When making proposals for engagements on a fixed-price basis, we rely on our estimates of costs and timing for completing the projects. These estimates reflect our best judgment regarding our capability to complete the task efficiently. Any increased or unexpected costs or unanticipated delays in connection with the performance of fixed-price contracts, including delays caused by factors outside our control, could make these contracts less profitable or unprofitable. From time to time, unexpected costs and unanticipated delays have

 

24


Item 7.    Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition & Results of Operations (continued)

 

caused us to incur losses on fixed-price contracts, primarily in connection with state government clients. On rare occasions, these losses have been significant. In the event that we encounter such problems in the future, our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated.

 

Our earnings and margins may vary based on the mix of our contracts and programs.

 

At June 30, 2003, our backlog included both cost reimbursement and fixed-price contracts. Cost reimbursement contracts generally have lower profit margins than fixed-price contracts. Our earnings and margins may vary materially depending on the types of long-term government contracts undertaken, the costs incurred in their performance, the achievement of other performance objectives and the stage of performance at which the right to receive fees, particularly under incentive and award fee contracts, is finally determined.

 

Systems failures may disrupt our business and have an adverse effect on our results of operations.

 

Any systems failures, including network, software or hardware failures, whether caused by us, a third party service provider, unauthorized intruders and hackers, computer viruses, natural disasters, power shortages or terrorist attacks, could cause loss of data, interruptions or delays in our business or that of our clients. In addition, the failure or disruption of our mail, communications or utilities could cause us to interrupt or suspend our operations or otherwise harm our business. Our property and business interruption insurance may be inadequate to compensate us for all losses that may occur as a result of any system or operational failure or disruption and, as a result, our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated.

 

The systems and networks that we maintain for our clients, although highly redundant in their design, could also fail. If a system or network we maintain were to fail or experience service interruptions, we might experience loss of revenue or face claims for damages or contract termination. Our errors and omissions liability insurance may be inadequate to compensate us for all the damages that we might incur and, as a result, our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated.

 

We may have difficulty identifying and executing acquisitions on favorable terms and therefore may grow at slower than anticipated rates.

 

One of our key growth strategies has been to selectively pursue acquisitions. Through acquisitions, we have expanded our base of federal government clients, increased the range of solutions we offer to our clients and deepened our penetration of existing clients. We may encounter difficulty identifying and executing suitable acquisitions. Without acquisitions, we may not grow as rapidly as the market expects, which could cause our actual results to differ materially from those anticipated. We may encounter other risks in executing our acquisition strategy, including:

 

    increased competition for acquisitions may increase the costs of our acquisitions;

 

    our failure to discover material liabilities during the due diligence process, including the failure of prior owners of any acquired businesses or their employees to comply with applicable laws or regulations, such as the Federal Acquisition Regulation and health, safety and environmental laws, or their failure to fulfill their contractual obligations to the federal government or other customers; and

 

    acquisition financing may not be available on reasonable terms or at all.

 

Each of these types of risks could cause our actual results to differ materially from those anticipated.

 

We may have difficulty integrating the operations of any companies we acquire, which could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated.

 

The success of our acquisition strategy will depend upon our ability to continue to successfully integrate any businesses we may acquire in the future. The integration of these businesses into our operations may result in

 

25


Item 7.    Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition & Results of Operations (continued)

 

unforeseen operating difficulties, absorb significant management attention and require significant financial resources that would otherwise be available for the ongoing development of our business. These integration difficulties include the integration of personnel with disparate business backgrounds, the transition to new information systems, coordination of geographically dispersed organizations, loss of key employees of acquired companies, and reconciliation of different corporate cultures. For these or other reasons, we may be unable to retain key clients of acquired companies. Moreover, any acquired business may fail to generate the revenue or net income we expected or produce the efficiencies or cost-savings that we anticipated. Any of these outcomes could cause our actual results to differ materially from those anticipated.

 

If our subcontractors fail to perform their contractual obligations, our performance as a prime contractor and our ability to obtain future business could be materially and adversely impacted and our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated.

 

Our performance of government contracts may involve the issuance of subcontracts to other companies upon which we rely to perform all or a portion of the work we are obligated to deliver to our clients. A failure by one or more of our subcontractors to satisfactorily deliver on a timely basis the agreed-upon supplies and/or perform the agreed-upon services may materially and adversely impact our ability to perform our obligations as a prime contractor.

 

A subcontractor’s performance deficiency could result in the government terminating our contract for default. A default termination could expose us to liability for excess costs of reprocurement by the government and have a material adverse effect on our ability to compete for future contracts and task orders.

 

Depending upon the level of problem experienced, such problems with subcontractors could cause our actual results to differ materially from those anticipated.

 

Our business may be adversely affected if we cannot collect our receivables.

 

We depend on the collection of our receivables to generate cash flow, provide working capital, pay debt and continue our business operations. If the federal government, any of our other clients or any prime contractor for whom we are a subcontractor fails to pay or delays the payment of their outstanding invoices for any reason, our business and financial condition may be materially adversely affected. The government may fail to pay outstanding invoices for a number of reasons, including lack of appropriated funds or lack of an approved budget.

 

Some prime contractors for whom we are a subcontractor have significantly less financial resources than we do, which may increase the risk that we may not be paid in full or payment may be delayed.

 

If we experience difficulties collecting receivables it could cause our actual results to differ materially from those anticipated.

 

Our global networks and other business commitments require our employees to travel to potentially dangerous places, which may result in injury to key employees.

 

Our domestic business involves the maintenance of global networks and provision of other services that require us to dispatch employees to various countries around the world. These countries may be experiencing political upheaval or unrest, and in some cases war or terrorism. Certain senior level employees or executives are, on occasion, part of the teams deployed to provide services in these countries. As a result, it is possible that certain of our employees or executives will suffer injury or bodily harm in the course of these deployments. It is also possible that we will encounter unexpected costs in connection with the repatriation of our employees or executives for reasons beyond our control. These problems could cause our actual results to differ materially from those anticipated.

 

26


Item 7.    Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition & Results of Operations (continued)

 

Our failure to adequately protect our confidential information and proprietary rights may harm our competitive position.

 

Our success depends, in part, upon our ability to protect our proprietary information and other intellectual property. Although our employees are subject to confidentiality obligations, this protection may be inadequate to deter misappropriation of our confidential information. In addition, we may be unable to detect unauthorized use of our intellectual property in order to take appropriate steps to enforce our rights. If we are unable to prevent third parties from infringing or misappropriating our copyrights, trademarks or other proprietary information, our competitive position could be seriously harmed and our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated.

 

We face additional risks which could harm our business because we have international operations.

 

Our international operations consist of our U.K.-based business which conducts the majority of its business in the United Kingdom. Our international operations comprised approximately 4.8% of our revenue in FY2003 and 5.9% of our revenue in FY2002. Our U.K.-based operations are subject to risks associated with operating in a foreign country. These risks include fluctuations in the value of the British pound, longer payment cycles, changes in foreign tax laws and regulations and unexpected legislative, regulatory, economic or political changes.

 

Our U.K.-based operations are also subject to risks associated with operating a commercial, as opposed to a government contracting, business, including the effects of general economic conditions in the United Kingdom on the telecommunications, computer software and computer services sectors and the impact of more concentrated and intense competition for the reduced volume of work available in those sectors. Our revenue from this business grew only very slightly in FY2003 over revenue from such business in FY2002 largely as a result of our exposure to the U.K. telecom and information technology industries, which has been experiencing weakness, and lower revenue from other direct costs that we bill directly to clients. While we are marketing our services to clients in industries that are new to us, our efforts in that regard may be unsuccessful. Other factors that may adversely affect our international operations are a continued decline in the economy of the United Kingdom, difficulties relating to managing our business internationally, and multiple tax structures. Any of these factors could cause our actual results to differ materially from those anticipated.

The Consolidated Financial Statements of CACI International Inc and subsidiaries are provided in Section II of the Report.

 

Item 9.    Changes in and Disagreement with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure

That report, which can be accessed through the Company’s website at http://www.caci.com or the Securities and Exchange Commission website at http://www.sec.gov.

 

Item 9A.    Controls and Procedures

 

Within the 90 days prior to the filing date of this report, under the direction and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the Company carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and

procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-15. Based upon that evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective. Such controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Company’s reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act or otherwise is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms.

 

There have been no significant changes in our internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect internal controls subsequent to the date we carried out this evaluation.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

NOTE 1.    SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Business Activities

 

The Company is an international information systems and high technology services corporation. It delivers information technology and communications solutions through four areas of expertise or service offerings: systems integration, managed network services, knowledge management and engineering services. The Company provides these services in support of U.S. national defense, intelligence and civilian agencies, agencies of foreign governments, state and local governments, and commercial enterprises.

 

The Company’s operations are subject to certain risks and uncertainties including, among others, the dependence on contracts with federal government agencies, dependence on revenues derived from contracts awarded through competitive bidding, existence of contracts with fixed pricing, dependence on subcontractors to fulfill contractual obligations, dependence on key management personnel, ability to attract and retain qualified employees, ability to successfully integrate acquired companies, and current and potential competitors with greater resources.

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The consolidated financial statements include the statements of CACI International Inc and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”). All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company generates its revenue from three different types of contractual arrangements: cost-plus-fee contracts; time and materials contracts; and fixed price contracts. Revenue on cost-plus-fee contracts is recognized to the extent of costs incurred plus an estimate of the applicable fees earned. The Company considers fixed fees under cost-plus-fee contracts to be earned in proportion of the allowable costs incurred in performance of the contract. For cost-plus-fee contracts that include performance based fee incentives, the Company recognizes the relevant portion of the expected fee to be awarded by the customer at the time such fee can be reasonably estimated, based on factors such as the Company’s prior award experience and communications with the customer regarding performance. Revenue on time-and-material contracts is recognized to the extent of billable rates times hours delivered plus expenses incurred.

 

The Company has four basic categories of fixed price contracts; fixed unit price; fixed price-level of effort; fixed price-completion; and fixed price-license. Revenue on fixed unit price contracts, where specified units of output under service arrangements are delivered, is recognized as units are delivered based on the specified price per unit. Revenue on fixed unit price maintenance contracts is recognized ratably over the length of the service period. Revenue for fixed price level of effort contracts is recognized based upon the number of units of labor actually delivered multiplied by the agreed rate for each unit of labor.

 

A significant portion of the Company’s fixed price-completion contracts involve the design and development of complex, client systems. For these contracts that are within the scope of Statement of Position 81-1, Accounting for Performance of Construction-Type and Certain Production-Type Contracts (SOP 81-1), revenue is recognized on the percentage of completion method using costs incurred in relation to total estimated costs. For fixed price-completion contracts that are not within the scope of SOP 81-1, revenue is generally recognized ratably over the service period. The Company’s fixed price license agreements and related services contracts are primarily executed in its international operations. As the agreements to deliver software require

 

40


CACI INTERNATIONAL INC

 

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(continued)

 

significant production, modification or customization of software, revenue is recognized using the contract accounting guidance of SOP 81-1. For agreements to deliver data under license and related services, revenue is recognized as the data is delivered and services are performed. Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are recorded in the period such losses are determined.

 

The Company’s U.S. Government contracts (approximately 92.2% of total revenue in 2003) are subject to subsequent government audit of direct and indirect costs. The majority of such incurred cost audits have been completed through June 30, 2001. Management does not anticipate any material adjustment to the consolidated financial statements in subsequent periods for audits not yet completed.

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment is recorded at cost. Depreciation of equipment has been provided over the estimated useful life of the respective assets (ranging from three to seven years) using the straight-line method. Leasehold improvements are generally amortized using the straight-line method over the remaining lease term or the useful life of the improvements, whichever is shorter.

During 2003, the Company wrote off approximately $3.0 million of fully depreciated assets and the related accumulated depreciation.

 

Capitalized Software Costs

 

Costs incurred internally in creating a computer software product to be sold or licensed are charged to expense when incurred as research and development until technological feasibility has been established for the software. Technological feasibility is established upon completion of a detailed program design or, in its absence, completion of a working software version. Thereafter, all such software development costs are capitalized and subsequently reported at the lower of unamortized cost or estimated net realizable value. Capitalized costs are amortized based on current and future revenue for each product with annual minimum amortization equal to the straight-line amortization over the remaining estimated economic life of the product, which ranges from three to five years.

 

Goodwill

 

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) has issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. SFAS No. 142 requires that goodwill no longer be amortized against earnings, but instead reviewed periodically for impairment. The Company elected to adopt SFAS No. 142 effective July 1, 2001, and as a result, amortization of goodwill was discontinued. Annually, the Company performs a fair value analysis of its reporting units using valuation techniques prescribed in SFAS No. 142. Based on the analysis performed as of June 30, 2003 and 2002, the Company determined that there were

no indications of goodwill impairment. A reconciliation of previously reported net income and earnings per share with the amounts adjusted for the exclusion of goodwill amortization net of related income tax effects follows (in thousands).

Intangible assets are being amortized over periods ranging from 12 to 120 months based on their estimated useful lives. Amortization expense for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2003 and June 30, 2002 was approximately $2.8 million and $1.2 million, respectively. Future amortization expense related to intangible assets is expected to be $5.2 million, $4.9 million, $4.8 million, $4.6 million and $4.0 million for the fiscal years ending June 30, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007 and 2008 respectively, unless the Company acquires additional identifiable intangible assets in the future.

 

Income Taxes

 

Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes, as well as operating loss and tax credit carry forwards.

 

U.S. income taxes have not been provided for with respect to $33.3 million in undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries that have been permanently reinvested outside the United States. If such earnings were distributed to the United States, certain foreign tax credits would be available to reduce the associated tax liability.

CACI INTERNATIONAL INC

 

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(continued)

 

Currency Translation

 

The assets and liabilities of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries whose functional currency is other than the U.S. dollar are translated at the exchange rate in effect on the reporting date, and income and expenses are translated at the weighted average exchange rate during the period. The Company’s primary practice is to negotiate contracts in the same currency in which the predominant expenses are incurred, thereby mitigating the exposure to foreign currency fluctuations. The net effect of such translation gains and losses is not included in determining net income, but is accumulated as a separate component of shareholders’ equity. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are included in determining net income, but are insignificant. These costs are included as indirect costs and selling expenses within the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations.

 

Earnings Per Share

 

SFAS No. 128 Earnings Per Share requires dual presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share on the face of the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Basic earnings per share exclude dilution and are computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflect potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock. Diluted earnings per share include the incremental effect of stock options calculated using the treasury stock method. The chart below shows the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share for the years June 30, 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively:

Diluted earnings per share

   $ 1.52    $ 1.18    $ 0.97
    

  

  

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The carrying amounts of the Company’s accounts receivables, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate their fair value. The lines of credit have floating interest rates that vary with current indices and, as such, the recorded value approximates fair value.

 

Use of Estimates

 

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

Reclassifications

 

Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior years’ financial statements in order to conform to the current presentation.

 

New Accounting Pronouncements

 

On December 31, 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation-Transition and Disclosure. SFAS No. 148 amends SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, to provide alternative methods of transition to SFAS No. 123’s fair value method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. SFAS No. 148 also amends the disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 123, to require disclosure in the summary of significant accounting policies of the effects of an entity’s accounting policy with respect to stock-based employee compensation on reported net income and earnings per share in annual financial statements. While the statement does not amend SFAS No. 123 to require companies to account for employee stock options using the fair value method, the disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 148 are applicable to all companies with stock-based employee compensation, regardless of whether they account for that compensation using the fair value method of SFAS No. 123 or the intrinsic value of method of APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.

 

The Company currently accounts for stock options using the intrinsic value method in accordance with APB Opinion No. 25, as interpreted by FASB Interpretation No. 44, Accounting for Certain Transactions Involving Stock Compensation. Accordingly, no compensation cost has been recognized for the granting of stock options to our employees and directors for the years ended June 30, 2003, 2002 and 2001 respectively. If stock options granted during these years had been accounted for based on their fair value as determined under SFAS No. 123, the pro forma earnings would have been as follows:

The weighted average fair value of options granted during years ended June 30, 2003, 2002 and 2001 was $20.33, $10.00 and $4.12, respectively. The fair value of each option granted is estimated on the grant date using a fair-value option pricing model. These pro forma results may not be indicative of future results due to the potential grants vesting and other factors. The following significant assumptions were made in estimating fair value:

In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities, (SFAS No. 146) which requires that costs, including severance costs, associated with exit or disposal activities be recorded at their fair value when a liability has been incurred. Under previous guidance, certain exit costs, including severance costs, were accrued upon managements’ commitment to an exit plan, which is generally before an actual liability has been incurred. The Company does not believe that SFAS No. 146 will have a material effect on its financial statements.

 

In November 2002, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 45, Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others (the Interpretation). The Interpretation requires certain guarantees to be recorded at fair value, differing from current practice, which is generally to record a liability only when a loss is probable and reasonably estimable, as those terms are defined in FASB Statement No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies. The Interpretation also requires a guarantor to make significant new disclosures, even when the likelihood of making any payments under the guarantee is remote, which is another change from current practice. The initial recognition and measurement provisions of the Interpretation are applicable on a prospective basis to guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002. The Interpretation’s disclosure requirements became effective for financial statements of interim or annual periods ending after December 15, 2002. The Company does not believe it has entered into any guarantees that fall within the guidance of the Interpretation other than the subcontract agreement disclosed in Note 10 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

In November 2002, the Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) issued a final consensus on Issue No. 00-21, Accounting for Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables (“Issue 00-21”). Issue 00-21 provides guidance on how and when to recognize revenues from arrangements requiring delivery of more that one product or service. It also addresses how arrangement consideration should be measured and allocated to the separate units of accounting in an arrangement. To the extent that a deliverable is part of an arrangement that is within the scope of other existing higher-level authoritative literature, Issue 00-21 does not apply. Issue 00-21 is effective prospectively for arrangements entered into in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2003. The Company does not believe that this EITF issue will have a material effect on its results of operations and financial position.

 

In May 2003, the EITF reached a consensus on Issue No. 01-8, Determining Whether an Arrangement Contains a Lease (“Issue 01-8”). The FASB ratified this consensus in May 2003. Issue 01-8 provides guidance on how to identify a lease in an arrangement that also provides for the delivery of other goods or services by the seller (lessor), such as outsourcing arrangements. The provisions of Issue 01-8 apply to arrangements entered into on or after July 1, 2003, the beginning of the first fiscal period after June 15, 2003. The Company does not believe that this EITF issue will have a material effect on its results of operations and financial position.

NOTE 2.    CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS AND SHORT-TERM MARKETABLE SECURITIES

 

The Company considers all investments with an original maturity of three months or fewer on their trade date to be cash equivalents. The Company classifies investments with an original maturity of more than three months but less than twelve months on their trade date as short-term marketable securities. To date, marketable securities have been classified as available-for-sale and have been carried at fair value with any unrealized gains and losses reported as a separate component of comprehensive income. The fair value of marketable securities was determined based on quoted market prices at the reporting date for those instruments. The cost of securities sold is based on specific identification. Premiums and discounts are amortized over the period from acquisition to maturity and are included in investment income, along with interest and dividends. To date there have been no realized or unrealized gains or losses. The Company’s cash and cash equivalents and short-term marketable securities at June 30, 2003, and June 30, 2002, consisted of the following (cost approximated fair value):

NOTE 5.    NOTE PAYABLE

 

On February 4, 2002, the Company replaced its existing credit facility with a new five-year unsecured credit agreement which permits borrowings of up to $185 million with a sublimit of $75 million of borrowings each year for acquisitions. The new agreement permits similar borrowing options and interest rates as those offered by the prior agreement. The current applicable interest rate is at LIBOR plus a margin of 0.75%. In addition, the Company pays a fee on the unused portion of the facility. The margin rate and unused portion fee are determined quarterly based on leverage, net worth and fixed charge coverage ratios. In addition, the Company’s bank agreement has covenants that require that the Company operate within certain limits on these same ratios. The Company is currently in compliance with those covenants. Under this agreement, the Company had outstanding borrowings of $25 million at June 30, 2002. The $25 million was paid in full on January 8, 2003, and there were no subsequent borrowings against the credit facility. As of June 30, 2003, the entire $185 million credit line was available for use.

 

On January 8, 2001, the Company entered into a two year interest rate swap agreement with a notional amount of $25 million under which the Company paid a fixed interest rate of 5.15% plus the applicable spread and received the prevailing LIBOR interest rate, plus applicable spread over the two year term of the swap agreement without the exchange of the underlying notional amounts. On January 8, 2003, the two year term matured and the entire $25 million was paid in full. The Company elected not to renew or enter into any new swap agreements.

 

The note payable balance of $4.6 million is the result of various acquisitions. In connection with the acquisition of Acton Burnell, Inc., on October 15, 2002, the Company recorded a note payable with a principal amount of $3.0 million. The note bears a 1.75% annual interest rate. In addition, the Company has a $1.5 million note payable related to the December 2, 2000 acquisition of the Federal Systems Business of N.E.T. Federal, Inc. The note on N.E.T. Federal, Inc., is payable on June 30, 2004 and does not accrue interest.

The Company is currently under examination by the State of Indiana. The examination is for the period beginning June 30, 1991 and ending June 30, 2000 and focuses on whether the Company established a taxable presence in Indiana during the examination period. Management of the Company believes that it has not established a taxable presence and will contest the State’s conclusion vigorously. While the outcome of the examination is uncertain, the Company estimates the range of exposure to be between $0 and $1.5 million. The Company does not believe the outcome will have a material adverse effect on its financial statements.

NOTE 7.    STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN

 

In 1996, the Company’s shareholders approved an Employee Stock Incentive Plan (the “1996 Plan”), which replaced a 1986 Plan that expired. The 1996 Plan permits the award of incentive and non-qualified stock options and stock grants to officers, employees and directors of the Company. The 1996 Plan limited total awards and stock grants to 1,500,000 shares over the life of the 1996 Plan. In November 2000, the shareholders approved an amendment to add 550,000 more shares to the 1996 Plan. In December 2001, the Company declared a 100% stock dividend, the equivalent of a stock split on a two for one basis. Pursuant to its provisions, the 1996 Plan was adjusted to reflect the impact of such stock dividend. With respect to outstanding option grants, such adjustment was effected by doubling the number of options granted and reducing the exercise price by half. At their meeting in November 2002, the shareholders approved an increase of 1,850,000 shares to the 1996 plan, bringing the total shares available to 5,950,000. As adjusted for the stock dividend, options for 5,198,040 shares have been granted under the 1996 Plan through June 30, 2003. With certain exceptions, one-third of the shares granted in conjunction with any award under the 1996 Plan become exercisable each year over a three year period, beginning one year from the date of grant. Of the total shares granted, 956,526 have been forfeited by grantees.

 

Under the 1996 Plan, options lapse and are no longer exercisable if not exercised within ten years of the date of grant. Grantees whose CACI employment has been terminated have 60 days after their termination date to exercise options that are then exercisable or forfeit their right to the options. Options that are not yet exercisable as of the date of termination are forfeited by the terminating employee and become available for future grants under the plan.

 

All awards granted under the 1996 Plan to date have been in the form of non-qualified stock options. The exercise prices of all such grants have been set at the price of the stock on the date of grant. Accordingly, no compensation cost has been recognized for stock option grants as the Company accounts for its stock option grants using the guidance in APB No. 25.

NOTE 8.    EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

 

The Company maintains a defined contribution plan under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code, the CACI $MART PLAN. Employees can contribute up to 25% (subject to certain statutory limitations) of their total cash compensation. The Company provides matching contributions equal to 50% of the amount of the employee’s contribution, up to 6% of the employee’s total fiscal year cash compensation. In addition, the Company may also make discretionary profit sharing contributions to the plan. Employer contributions vest according to a schedule entitling full vesting after five years of employment. Employee contributions vest immediately. The CACI $MART PLAN is qualified under the Internal Revenue Code, as determined by the Internal Revenue Service.

 

The Company maintains a non-qualified, defined contribution plan, the CACI International Inc Group Executive Retirement Plan, which is available to certain executives. Executives at the vice president level and above may voluntarily defer up to 50% of their cash compensation in a plan year, thus deferring income taxes on the amount they contribute until they terminate their interest in the plan through retirement or termination of their employment. For executives who participate in the Plan, and whose annual compensation exceeds the statutory limit of the qualified plan (currently $200,000 per year), the Company contributes 5% of such excess to the participant’s account in the Group Executive Retirement Plan. Each participant is fully vested immediately in his voluntary deferrals. The Company contributions vest 20% per year over a five year period from the date of first participation in the Plan.

 

The total consolidated expenses for the Company’s contributions to the 401(k) plan and the Group Executive Retirement Plan for the years ended June 30, 2003, 2002 and 2001 were $8,441,000, $6,454,000 and $4,820,000, respectively. The Company funds the costs of the qualified plans as they accrue.

Other Contingencies

 

The Company is involved in various lawsuits, claims, and administrative proceedings arising in the normal course of business. Management is of the opinion that any liability or loss associated with such matters, either individually or in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s operations and liquidity.

 

The Company has entered into a subcontract agreement with a vendor to purchase a number of directional finding units to be ordered in connection with the performance of one of the Company’s contracts over a four year period ending in fiscal year 2006. The subject subcontract provides for unit price decreases as the number of units purchased under the subcontract increases. Based on the present status of contract performance, management believes that the Company will purchase a sufficient number of units over the subcontract term to allow it to realize the lowest unit cost available. Based upon that expectation, unit costs incurred to date have been recognized in “Other Direct Costs” at such lowest unit cost. Based on the number of units ordered to date and assuming that no other units are ordered under the subcontract, the Company’s maximum unit price exposure (the difference between the unit price that would be applicable to the number of units actually purchased as compared to the discount price at which the Company has recognized the purchases to date) is estimated to be approximately $350,000, which has not been recorded in the Company’s financial statements as of June 30, 2003.

Under the terms of the agreement, the Company will pay the balance of $3.0 million plus interest at the first anniversary date of the acquisition. This has been accrued for in the current portion of notes payable at June 30, 2003.

The Company is amortizing substantially all such identifiable intangible assets over a period of ten years. Acton Burnell, Inc. contributed revenue of $26.4 million for the period from October 16, 2002 to June 30, 2003.

The earn out payments have not been accrued at June 30, 2003 as the contingencies are not resolved. Approximately $18.6 million of the purchase price has been allocated to goodwill based primarily on the excess of the purchase price over the $12.3 million estimated fair value of net assets acquired and the $14.7 million value assigned to identifiable assets. The Company is amortizing substantially all such identifiable intangible assets over a period of one to eight years. PTG contributed revenue of $5.2 million for the period from May 15, 2003 to June 30, 2003.

Under the terms of the agreement, the Company will pay the balance of the consideration provided that RISys meets certain agreed upon performance targets for the 24 months following acquisition. Approximately $1.7 million of the initial purchase price has been allocated to goodwill based on the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net assets of $271,000. These net assets comprise identifiable intangible assets of $531,000 less $260,000 net liabilities assumed. The Company is amortizing all such identifiable intangible assets over periods of up to 10 years. RISys contributed revenue of $126,000 for the period from June 6, 2003 until June 30, 2003.

NOTE 12.    BUSINESS SEGMENT INFORMATION

 

The Company reports operating results and financial data in two segments: domestic operations and international operations. Domestic operations provide information technology and communications solutions through all four of the Company’s major service offerings: systems integration, managed network services, knowledge management and engineering services. Its customers are primarily U.S. federal agencies, however, it does serve a number of agencies of foreign governments and customers in the commercial and state and local sectors and places employees in locations around the world in support of these clients. International operations offer services to both commercial and government customers primarily through the Company’s systems integration line of business. The accounting policies of the operating segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies in Note 1 to the financial statements. The Company evaluates the performance of its operating segments based on income (loss) before income taxes. Summarized financial information concerning the Company’s reportable segments is shown in the following tables. The “Other” column includes the elimination of intersegment revenue and corporate related items. Corporate assets, consisting primarily of property and equipment, are reported in the “Other” column. The operating segments’ income (loss) and corporate related amounts total the amount presented as income before taxes in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Prior year’s segment information has been restated in order to provide for consistent presentation with the current year and the information related to the discontinued operations has been excluded from this presentation.

Although for purposes of promoting an understanding of the Company’s complex business, the four areas of service offerings, systems integration, managed network services, knowledge management and engineering services, are discussed, the Company does not manage its business nor allocate capital resources based upon those service offerings. Furthermore, the underlying accounting and forecasting systems are not designed to capture key financial information such as revenue, costs and capital expenditures by such service offerings because these offerings cut across all divisions of the operations. Therefore, it is impractical for the Company to report revenue by the four service offerings.

On January 6, 2002, the Company completed the sale of the net assets of its domestic Marketing Systems Group to Environmental Research Systems Institute, Inc’s subsidiary, ERSI Business Information Solutions, for $3.5 million. This resulted in a net after tax loss for the Company of $1.3 million. Included in the loss was a net after tax loss from discontinued operations of $284,000 for the period from October 31, 2001 to January 6, 2002. Revenue from discontinued operations was $1.9 million for the year ended June 30, 2002.

In 2001, the additions to the reserve of $1.3 million related to our Marketing System Group business both in the United Kingdom (UK) and the United States. The UK portion of this provision was $0.9 million and the U.S. portion was $0.4 million. Of the UK bad debt provision, $0.5 million related to a single contract, GTS/Equador. The Company had been contracted to provide an Interconnect Billing and Accounting System to GTS via a prime contractor, Equador Consulting. Due to issues over the specifications and late delivery, the end client claimed that the Company was in breach of contract. The Company settled with its prime contractor to avoid the costs of a lawsuit. The remaining UK provision applied to bad debt generated from the normal course of business. The U.S. portion of the provision did not relate to a particular contract but rather was derived from a pre-determined formula based on the aging of all receivables. This was consistent with the treatment applied in other years and reported in our filings until the Company sold the U.S. division of the Marketing Systems Group.

 

The $1.6 million of other charges came primarily from two areas. The Company reclassified an estimated reserve of $1.1 million maintained on various contract receivables that was originally recorded within accrued liabilities but should more properly have been classified as an allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company also acquired an allowance of $0.5 million on receivables from our acquisition of the Federal Services Business of N.E.T. Federal, Inc. in December 2000.

 

For the year ended June 30, 2003, the Company acquired allowances of $483,000 related to its domestic and international business acquisitions.

 

Our bad debt provision has had no impact on our revenue recognition policy over the past three years.

The execution, delivery and performance by Parent and CACI of this Agreement and the Related Agreements and the consummation by Parent and CACI of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby do not and will not (i) conflict with or result in a violation of any provision of the certificate of incorporation or by-laws or other organizational documents of Parent or CACI, or (ii) with or without the giving of notice or the lapse of time, or both, conflict with, or result in any violation or breach of or constitute a default under, or require the consent of any other party to, or result in any right to accelerate or the creation of any Lien pursuant to, or right of termination under, any provision of any note, mortgage, indenture, lease, license, agreement or other instrument, permit, concession, grant, franchise, judgment, order, decree, statute, law, ordinance, rule or regulation to which Parent or CACI is a party or by which either of them or any of their respective assets or properties may be bound or which is applicable to either of them or any of their respective assets or properties.

 

3.4. Proxy Statement. The information provided by Parent or CACI expressly in writing for inclusion in the Proxy Statement shall not, on the date the Proxy Statement is first mailed to Condor’s stockholders, at the time of the Condor Meeting and at the Effective Time, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not false or misleading; or omit to state any material fact necessary to correct any statement in any earlier communication by Parent or CACI with respect to the solicitation of proxies for the Condor Meeting that has become false or misleading. If at any time prior to the Effective Time any event relating to Parent, CACI or any of their respective

 

26


affiliates, officers or directors should be discovered by Parent or CACI that should be set forth in an amendment or a supplement to the Proxy Statement, Parent or CACI shall promptly inform Condor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Parent and CACI make no representation or warranty with respect to any information supplied by Condor that is contained in any of the foregoing documents.

4.2. Access and Information; Confidentiality

 

4.2.1. Each of Condor and its Subsidiaries shall afford to CACI and to its officers, employees, accountants, counsel and other authorized representatives (including lenders) reasonable access, upon 24 hours’ advance telephone notice, during regular business hours, throughout the period prior to the earlier of the Closing or the termination of this Agreement, if any, to its plants, properties, books and records, and those of its Subsidiaries, that relate, directly or indirectly, to the GSD, and shall use reasonable efforts to cause its representatives and independent public accountants to furnish to CACI such additional financial and operating data and other information, and those of its Subsidiaries, as to the business and properties of the GSD as CACI may from time to time reasonably request. Each of Condor and its Subsidiaries shall permit CACI to confirm with their respective suppliers the title to any Assets in such suppliers’ possession, and shall permit CACI to confirm with obligors under the Receivables the value and amount thereof.

 

4.2.2. Each party and its representatives will hold in strict confidence all documents and information concerning the other party and its Subsidiaries furnished in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Related Agreements (except to the extent that such information can be shown to have been (i) in the public domain through no action by the party in violation of this Section 4.2, (ii) in the party’s possession at the time of disclosure and not acquired by the party directly or indirectly from the other party on a confidential basis or (iii) disclosed by the other party to others on an unrestricted, non-confidential basis) and will not release or disclose any such documents or information to any other person and shall not use nor permit others to use such documents or information except in connection with this Agreement or the Related Agreements, and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby. In the event of the termination of this Agreement, each party shall return to the other party all documents, work papers and other material so obtained by it, or on its behalf, and all copies, digests, abstracts or other materials relating thereto, whether so obtained before or after the execution hereof, and will comply with the terms of the confidentiality provisions set forth herein. The foregoing confidentiality requirements shall, as of the execution of this Agreement, supersede any and all confidentiality or nondisclosure agreements then in effect between Parent or CACI and Condor.

 

30


4.2.3. After the date hereof, neither Condor nor any of its Subsidiaries, nor its or their representatives shall disclose any documents and information concerning the GSD to any person other than Parent, CACI and their respective representatives to a materially greater extent than its past practice, except to the extent permitted by this Agreement or required by law. After the Closing, Condor, its Subsidiaries and its and their representatives will hold in strict confidence all documents (including the Asset Documents) and information concerning the GSD (except to the extent that such information can be shown to have been (i) in the public domain through no action by Condor or any of its Subsidiaries in violation of this Section 4.2 or (ii) disclosed by Parent or CACI to others on an unrestricted, non-confidential basis) and, except to the extent required by law, will not, without the prior written consent of CACI, release or disclose any such documents or information to any other person and shall not use nor permit others to use such documents or information except for record keeping and evidentiary purposes.

 

4.3. Further Assurances. Subject to terms and conditions herein provided and to the fiduciary duty of each party’s board of directors and officers, each of the parties agrees to use its reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all action and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable under applicable laws and regulations to fulfill the conditions specified in Article V, consummate and make effective this Agreement and the Related Agreements and the other transactions contemplated hereby and thereby. In case at any time any further action, including the obtaining of waivers and consents under material contracts and leases, is necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement, the proper officers and directors of each party to this Agreement are hereby directed and authorized to use their reasonable best efforts to effectuate all required action. After the Closing, each party will provide to the other parties without charge reasonable assistance and inquiry access to its officers and employees for information appropriate to secure the respective benefits of this Agreement and the Related Agreements, including information required to prepare tax returns and progress reports and other documents related to assigned, subcontracted or novated contracts. To the extent that Condor lacks the corporate power or contractual authority to perform its covenants and obligations hereunder or under any of the Related Agreements, Condor shall cause its Subsidiaries to perform such covenants and obligations as if such Subsidiaries were parties to this Agreement and the Related Agreements and bound by such covenants and obligations. If any such covenant or obligation shall require the performance of any such Subsidiary, Condor shall not, without the prior written consent of Parent, authorize, permit or otherwise allow such Subsidiary to merge, consolidate, sell a substantial part of its assets, dissolve, liquidate, wind up or take any other action that would, in the reasonable judgment of Parent, impair its ability to perform such covenant or obligation.

 

4.4. Releases of Information. No party shall announce or disclose to any person (other than those employees, agents, advisors, representatives or lenders who have a “need to know” in order to help effectuate the transaction) the terms or provisions of this Agreement without the prior consent, in the case of an announcement or disclosure by Parent or CACI, of Condor or, in the case of an announcement or disclosure by Condor or any of its Subsidiaries, of Parent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) except as disclosure may be required by law (including disclosure required to be made in the Proxy Statement). CACI and Condor shall consult with each other before the issuance of any press release or other public announcement referring to this Agreement or the terms and conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby.

 

31


4.5. Restricted Activities and Transactions

 

4.5.1. Acquisition Proposals. From and after the date of this Agreement until the earlier of the Closing Date or the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Article VI hereof, but in any event at least sixty-five (65) days after the date of the Letter of Intent or such longer time as the parties agree upon, neither Condor nor any of its Subsidiaries nor any of their respective directors, officers, employees, or other representatives or agents, shall, directly or indirectly, solicit, initiate, or participate in discussions or negotiations with or otherwise cooperate in any way with, or provide any information to, any corporation, partnership, person, or other entity or group concerning any tender offer, exchange offer, merger, business combination, sale of substantial assets, sale of shares of capital stock, or similar transaction involving Condor (all such transactions being referred to herein as “Acquisition Proposals”).

 

4.5.2. Compliance with Fiduciary Duty. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 4.5 shall prohibit the board of directors of Condor from furnishing information to, or entering into discussions with, any person that makes a bona fide proposal or offer with respect to Condor that constitutes an Acquisition Proposal for Condor, if (a) the board of directors of Condor determines in good faith, following consultation with outside counsel, that the board’s fiduciary responsibilities under applicable law require that such information be provided or negotiations be held with the person presenting the Acquisition Proposal in order to avoid a breach of such fiduciary responsibilities, (b) prior to furnishing such information to, or entering into discussions or negotiations with such person, Condor keeps Parent informed on a timely basis of the status of such negotiations and all material terms and conditions thereof and promptly provides Parent with copies of any and all written inquiries or proposals relating thereto, and (c) such Acquisition Proposal was not obtained in violation of this Agreement.

 

4.5.3. Break-up Fee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that Condor at any time after the date of the letter of intent among the parties hereto and before the earlier of the Closing Date or the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Article VI hereof, accepts an Acquisition Proposal from any person or entity other than Parent or CACI, or Condor’s board of directors fails to recommend or withdraws or modifies its approval of this transaction, Condor shall pay to Parent upon the closing of the transaction contemplated by such Acquisition Proposal, the lesser of (a) the actual costs incurred by Parent and CACI to the date of receipt by Parent and CACI of written notice of such failure, withdrawal or modification of approval or (b) the sum of $250,000. Condor shall make such payment within ten (10) days of the closing of the transaction contemplated by the Acquisition Proposal. The payment of such amount by Condor shall be Parent’s and CACI’s sole and exclusive remedy for Condor’s breach of this Section 4.5.

 

4.5.4. Disposition of Other Businesses. Nothing in this Section 4.5 shall be deemed to preclude Condor or any of its affiliates, directors, officers, employees or other representatives or agents from soliciting, initiating or participating in discussions or negotiations with or entering into any agreement with any person relating to (a) the sale of any of Condor’s businesses or assets other than the GSD business, including the assets and agreements contemplated to be transferred hereunder to CACI (including any such assets held by any of Condor’s Subsidiaries), or (b) a transaction involving the sale of Condor as a whole, provided that such stock sale (1) is conditioned upon (and will be consummated subsequent to) the

 

32


consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and (2) does not materially delay or otherwise materially interfere with the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

 

4.6. Expenses. Each party hereto shall be responsible for its own costs and expenses in connection with this Agreement and the transaction governed hereby, including fees and disbursements of consultants, investment bankers and other financial advisors, counsel and accountants (collectively “Expenses”). Condor expressly agrees that such Expenses shall not be liabilities of the GSD acquired by CACI hereunder.

 

4.7. Employment of GSD Personnel. Subject to the closing of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, CACI shall offer employment to the employees of Condor or its Subsidiaries named on the Employee List, including the employees of Condor or its Subsidiaries listed on Schedule 4.7 (the “Key Employees”). Any offer of employment to a Key Employee shall be for employment at will with compensation and benefits (other than severance benefits, change-of-control payments, stock options and other forms of equity and equity-based compensation), in the aggregate, reasonably comparable to or better than the compensation and benefits, in the aggregate, provided to such Key Employee by Condor. Any offer of employment to a person other than a Key Employee shall be for employment at will at an annual salary not less than the salary of such employee set forth on the Employee List and with such other benefits as CACI shall provide to employees of CACI in positions that CACI reasonably deems comparable to the position that CACI expects such employee to have with CACI. Condor and its Subsidiaries agree that CACI may make offers of employment to any such employee of Condor or its Subsidiaries without breach of any right or expectation of Condor. Condor and its Subsidiaries further agree that, for a period of three (3) years after the Effective Time, neither Condor nor any of its Subsidiaries will, without the prior written consent of CACI, employ or offer employment in any capacity to any of the former employees of Condor or its Subsidiaries who become employees of CACI as contemplated by this paragraph, other than persons who leave CACI employment because their employment is terminated by CACI, whether with or without cause. For purposes of this Section 4.7 only, references to “CACI” are deemed to be references to “CACI or another Subsidiary of Parent.”

 

4.8. Benefit Plans

 

4.8.1. Full Credit for Service. All employees of Condor or its Subsidiaries who become employees of CACI as of, or within thirty (30) days after the Closing Date shall receive full credit for any service they performed for and on behalf of Condor or its Subsidiaries, or any predecessor company of Condor or its Subsidiaries, for purposes of eligibility to participate, accrual of benefits, and vesting schedules under any of CACI’s employee benefit plans or programs.

 

4.8.2. Condor 401(k) Plans. Condor and its Subsidiaries shall retain full responsibility for the continued administration or termination of their 401(k) plans.

33


4.9. Transition Services. Pursuant to a separate written agreement between CACI and Condor in form and substance reasonably acceptable to CACI and Condor and based, in part, on the term sheet attached hereto as Exhibit F (the “Term Sheet for Transition Services”), CACI and Condor will provide for transition services for a reasonable period with respect to accounting, payroll, and systems functions, call center support for the U.S. Department of Veterans’ Affairs, and other support functions now provided to the GSD by other divisions of Condor’s business in accordance with the terms of a written agreement attached hereto at Closing as Exhibit R (the “Transition Services Agreement”).

 

4.10. Notification of Certain Matters. At all times until the Effective Time, each party shall promptly notify the other in writing of the occurrence or failure to occur of any event that (a) would be likely to cause any representation or warranty made by such party in this Agreement to be untrue or inaccurate at, or at any time prior to, the Effective Time, or (b) will or may result in the failure to satisfy any of the conditions specified in Article V.

 

4.11. Indemnification. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 4.11:

 

4.11.1. Indemnification by Condor. Condor and its Subsidiaries (hereinafter sometimes referred to as the “Seller Indemnifying Parties”) hereby agree to indemnify Parent and CACI and their respective directors, officers, employees, affiliates, representatives, successors and assigns (collectively the “CACI Indemnified Parties”) from and against all losses in connection with or otherwise relating to any of the following: (a) any misrepresentation or inaccuracy in, or breach of any representation or warranty made by Condor or any of its Subsidiaries in this Agreement (other than Section 2.11), any Exhibits or Schedules hereto, any Related Agreement, or the certificates delivered pursuant to this Agreement, (b) any breach of any covenant, agreement or obligation of Condor or any of its Subsidiaries contained in this Agreement, any Exhibits or Schedules hereto, or any Related Agreement, and (c) the performance by Condor or any of its Subsidiaries of the Assigned Contracts before or after the Closing; and

 

4.11.2. Indemnification by CACI. Parent and CACI (collectively the “CACI Indemnifying Parties,” and together with the Seller Indemnifying Parties the “Indemnifying Parties”) hereby agree to indemnify Condor, its Subsidiaries, and its and their directors, officers, affiliates, representatives, successors and assigns (collectively the “Seller Indemnified Parties,” and together with the CACI Indemnified Parties the “Indemnified Parties”) from and against all losses in connection with or otherwise relating to any of the following: (a) any misrepresentation or inaccuracy in, or breach of, any representation or warranty made by Parent or CACI in this Agreement, any Exhibits or Schedules hereto, any Related Agreement, or the certificates delivered pursuant to this Agreement, (b) any breach of any covenant, agreement or obligation of Parent or CACI contained in this Agreement, any Exhibits or Schedules hereto, or any Related Agreement, and (c) the performance by CACI of the Assigned Contracts after the Closing; provided, however, that the indemnification pursuant to Section 4.11.2(c) shall not extend to any losses arising from or otherwise relating to the performance by Condor and its Subsidiaries of the Assigned Contracts.

 

4.11.3. Claims for Indemnification. Whenever any claim shall arise for indemnification hereunder, the Indemnified Party seeking indemnification shall promptly notify

 

34


the Indemnifying Party in writing of the claim and the facts believed to constitute the basis for such claim, all with reasonable specificity in light of the facts then known; provided, however, that failure to so notify the Indemnifying Party shall not discharge the Indemnifying Party from any of its liabilities and obligations hereunder except and to the extent that the failure prejudices the Indemnifying Party’s ability to raise a substantial defense to the claim and except to the extent of any liabilities or obligations caused by or arising out of such failure to notify. The Indemnified Party shall not settle or compromise any claim by a third party for which it is entitled to indemnification hereunder without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Indemnifying Party may settle any matter (in whole or in part) without the Indemnified Party’s prior consent, if such settlement includes a complete and unconditional release of the Indemnified Party.

 

4.11.4. Defense by Indemnifying Party. In connection with any claims giving rise to indemnity hereunder resulting from or arising out of any claim or legal proceeding by a person who is a third party (“Third-Party Claims”), the Indemnifying Party at its sole cost and expense may, upon written notice to the Indemnified Party, assume the defense of any such claim or legal proceeding; provided, however, that the Indemnified Party shall have the right to defend against such claim or legal proceedings at its expense and in such manner as it may deem appropriate, including settling such claim or legal proceedings on such terms as the Indemnified Party may deem appropriate, provided, however, that no such settlement shall be at the Indemnifying Party’s expense unless it is approved in advance by the Indemnifying Party. If the Indemnifying Party does not assume the defense of any such claim or legal proceeding resulting therefrom within 30 days after the date of receipt of the notice referred to in Section 4.11.3 above, (a) the Indemnified Party may defend against such claim or legal proceeding at the expense of the Indemnifying Party and in such manner as it may reasonably deem appropriate, including settling such claim or legal proceeding at the expense of the Indemnifying Party and on such terms as the Indemnified Party may deem appropriate, and (b) the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate in (but not control) the defense of such action, with its counsel and at its own expense. No settlement of any claim or legal proceeding by an Indemnified Party shall be conclusive as to the amount of the loss incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with such claim or legal proceeding.

 

4.11.5. Limitation of Liability. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Indemnifying Party shall have no liability to the Indemnified Party under this Section 4.11 until the aggregate amount of all losses claimed by the Indemnified Party exceeds $100,000; provided, that if the aggregate losses exceeds that amount, the Indemnified Party’s obligation shall extend to all losses. In no event shall Condor or any of its Subsidiaries be liable for any amount in excess of $5,000,000, except to the extent of losses arising from a fraudulent or knowing violation on the part of Condor or any of its Subsidiaries. No action or claim for indemnification under this Section 4.11 arising out of or resulting from a breach of representations and warranties contained herein shall be brought or made after the expiration of the second anniversary of the Closing Date.

 

4.11.6. Treatment of Indemnification Payments. All indemnification payments under this Section 4.11 shall be deemed adjustments to the Purchase Price.

 

35


4.11.7. Receivables. In the event that all Receivables as of the Closing Date are not collected in full within 180 days after the Closing Date, then, at the request of CACI, Condor shall pay CACI an amount equal to the Receivables not so collected, less the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts and subject to the limitations of Section 4.11.5. After receipt of such payment, CACI shall promptly remit to Condor any excess collections received by CACI with respect to the Receivables giving rise to such payment. CACI shall use commercially reasonable efforts, consistent with its usual practice, to collect such Receivables in the ordinary course of business.

 

4.11.8. Insurance Policy. Condor shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to support CACI’s procurement, at Condor’s cost, of an insurance policy (the “Insurance Policy”) naming CACI as the insured and the policyholder and covering losses arising from a breach of any representation or warranty made by Condor or any of its Subsidiaries herein. The Insurance Policy shall have a term of two years, shall have a policy limit of $5.0 million (provided that CACI, at its sole cost and expense, may pay the additional premium for an increased policy limit (if such increased limit is available)), shall have a deductible of no more than $500,000, shall not have a premium payable by Condor that is more than eight percent (8%) of the policy limit, shall expressly provide that the insurer is not subrogated to the rights of CACI and shall otherwise be in a form reasonably acceptable to CACI and Condor. In the event that the premium payable exceeds an amount equal to eight percent (8%) of the policy limit, CACI, at its sole discretion, may pay the excess portion of the premium payable in order to facilitate procurement of the Insurance Policy. The certificate of insurance for such policy will be substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit L. At or prior to the Closing, Condor shall make its premium payment for such policy, in full, in accordance with this Section 4.11.8.

 

4.12. Certain Tax Matters

 

4.12.1. Allocation of Purchase Price. Condor agrees that the Purchase Price and the liabilities of Condor and its Subsidiaries (plus other relevant items) will be allocated to the assets of Condor and its Subsidiaries for Tax purposes in a manner consistent with the fair market value of such assets, shown on Schedule 1.6, as mutually agreed to by CACI and Condor prior to Closing. Each of the parties hereto will file all Tax Returns (including amended returns and claims for refund) and information reports in a manner consistent with such allocation schedule, pursuant to the requirements of IRS Code, Section 1060.

 

4.12.2. Certain Taxes. All transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration and other such Taxes and fees (including any penalties and interest) incurred in connection with this Agreement, shall be paid by Condor and its Subsidiaries when due, and Condor and its Subsidiaries will, at its or their own expense, file all necessary Tax Returns and other documentation with respect to all such transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration and other Taxes and fees.

 

4.12.3. Payroll Tax Matters. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, and in addition to the indemnification provided in Section 4.11, Condor shall, at its own expense, assume and conduct the defense of any claim by a Tax authority in respect of employment, payroll, or similar withholding Taxes relating to (a) payments made by Condor prior to the Closing; (b) payroll periods of Condor ending prior to the Closing; and (c) Tax

 

36


Returns that Condor was required to file; provided, however, that the limitation of liability set forth in the first sentence of Section 4.11.5 of this Agreement shall not apply to losses incurred by the Indemnified Party in respect of such withholding tax matters, except that such losses shall apply towards such limitation.

 

4.13. Assignment and Assumption of Contracts

 

4.13.1. Assignment and Assumption of Executory Contracts. At the Closing, Condor and its Subsidiaries will assign to CACI, and CACI will assume all responsibilities of Condor and its Subsidiaries under, all executory contracts listed in Schedule 1.1 to which Condor or any of its Subsidiaries is a party and which may be assigned by Condor and its Subsidiaries to CACI.

 

4.13.2. Performance of Non-Assignable Contracts.

6.1 Exclusivity. From and after the date of this Agreement until the earlier of the Closing Date or the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Article 9 hereof, but in any event at least sixty (60) days after the date of the Letter of Intent, neither the Company nor the Major Stockholders will, directly or indirectly, through its or their respective affiliates, agents, officers and directors, directly or indirectly, solicit, initiate, or participate in discussions or negotiations or otherwise cooperate in any way with, or provide any information to, any corporation, partnership, person, or other entity or group concerning any tender offer, exchange offer, merger, business combination, sale of substantial assets, sale of shares of capital stock, or similar transaction involving the Company (all such transactions being referred to herein as “Acquisition Proposals”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Company at any time after the date of the Letter of Intent and before the earlier of the Closing Date or the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Article 9 hereof, accepts an Acquisition Proposal from any person or entity other than Parent, Parent shall be entitled, providing that Parent is not in a material breach of any of its obligations hereunder, upon demand submitted in a form of a notice to the Company (the “Demand Notice”) to the payment of the sum of $250,000. The Company shall make such payment within ten (10) days of the receipt of the Demand Notice.

 

6.2 Expenses.

 

6.2.1 General. Except as provided in this Section 6.2, each party hereto shall be responsible for its own costs and expenses in connection with the Merger, including fees and disbursements of consultants, brokers, finders, investment bankers and other financial advisors, counsel and accountants (“Expenses”).

 

6.2.2 Broker Fees. At the Closing, Federal shall pay $300,000 to Broker which amount shall be deducted from the First Payment due to the Stockholders at the Closing.

6.2.3 Uncovered Expenses. The Company and the Stockholders shall ensure that either: (i) any Expenses incurred by the Company or Stockholders are paid at or before the Closing from the aggregate Merger Price so that such Expenses do not continue to be or do not become the liability of the Company after the Closing or (ii) provision is made for any such Expenses on the Company’s books for payment after the Closing (it being understood that in such event the Net Assets on the Closing Balance Sheet shall be reduced by any such Expenses).

 

6.3 Indemnification Provisions.

 

6.3.1 Indemnification. Subject to all of the terms of this Section 6.3, from and after the Closing Date, Parent, Federal, the Surviving Corporation and each of their respective directors, officers, employees, Affiliates, representatives, successors and assigns (collectively “Parent Indemnified Parties”) shall be entitled to payment and reimbursement from the Stockholders, severally and not jointly, of the amount of Loss suffered, incurred or paid by any

 

31


Parent Indemnified Party, by reason of any breach of any representation or warranty made by the Company in Article 3 of this Agreement or the certificate delivered pursuant to Section 7.2.1 of this Agreement. Subject to all of the terms of this Section 6.3, from and after the Closing Date, the Stockholders and each of their respective legatees, heirs, and legal representatives (collectively the “Stockholder Indemnified Parties”) shall be entitled to payment and reimbursement from Parent, Federal and the Surviving Corporation of the amount of Loss suffered, incurred or paid by any Stockholder Indemnified Party by reason of any breach of any representation or warranty made by Parent or Federal in Article 4 of this Agreement or the certificate delivered pursuant to Section 7.3.1 of this Agreement, the breach or nonperformance of any covenant or obligation to be performed by Parent, Federal or the Surviving Corporation hereunder or under any agreement executed in connection herewith, or any matter arising out of the business of the Surviving Corporation after the Closing.

 

6.3.2 Claims for Indemnification. Upon obtaining knowledge of any facts, claim or demand which has given rise to, or could reasonably give rise to, a claim for indemnification hereunder (referred to herein as an “Indemnification Claim”), the party seeking indemnification (the “Indemnified Party”) shall promptly give written notice of such facts, claim or demand (“Notice of Claim”) to the party from whom indemnification is sought (the “Indemnifying Party”). So long as the Notice of Claim is given by the Indemnified Party in the Claims Period specified in Section 6.3.5, no failure or delay by the Indemnified Party in the giving of a Notice of Claim shall reduce or otherwise affect the Indemnified Party’s right to indemnification except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party has been prejudiced thereby.

 

6.3.3 Defense by Indemnifying Party. In the event of a claim or demand asserted by a third party (a “Third Party Claim”), the Indemnifying Party shall have the right, but not the obligation, exercisable by written notice to the Indemnified Party within 10 days of the date of the Notice of Claim concerning the commencement or assertion of any Third Party Claim, to jointly participate in the defense of such Third Party Claim, and, in the case of claims for which the maximum liability under such Third Party Claim is reasonably expected to be less than the available indemnification amount for the Indemnifying Party (after taking into account the amount of all other claims then outstanding for which the Indemnifying Party may be liable and any limitations contained in Section 6.3.4 hereof), to control the defense of such Third Party Claim. If the Indemnifying Party gives such notice of intent to defend, the Indemnifying Party shall assume the defense thereof as follows: (i) the Indemnifying Party will defend the Indemnified Party against the matter with counsel compensated by and chosen by Indemnifying Party, which choice of counsel is subject to the reasonable satisfaction of the Indemnified Party; (ii) the Indemnified Party may retain separate co-counsel at the sole cost and expense of Indemnified Party; (iii) the Indemnified Party will not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the matter without the written consent of the Indemnifying Party; and (iv) the Indemnifying Party will not consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to the matter, or enter into any settlement that does not include a provision whereby the plaintiff or claimant in the matter releases the Indemnified Party from all liability with respect thereto, without the written consent of the Indemnified Party. If, however, no Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party within 10 days after the Indemnified Party has given notice of the matter, that the Indemnifying Party is assuming the defense thereof, then the Indemnified Party shall defend against, or enter into any settlement with respect to the matter.

 

32


The Indemnified Party shall not settle such Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

 

6.3.4 Limitation on Liability for Indemnity. The Parent Indemnified Parties shall not be entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Section 6.3 until the aggregate amount of Losses suffered by the Parent Indemnified Parties exceeds $250,000 (the “Indemnity Deductible”) whereupon the Parent Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to indemnification hereunder for the aggregate amount of all of such Losses in excess of the Indemnity Deductible. The aggregate liability of the Stockholders for indemnification under this Section 6.3 shall not exceed $3,250,000 (the “Indemnity Cap”); provided that the several liability of each Stockholder shall be in proportion to, and not exceed, such Stockholder’s pro rata share of the Indemnity Cap based on the percentages listed in the Stockholder List. Subject to compliance with all of the provisions of Section 6.3, any claim for indemnification made by a Parent Indemnified Party within 12 months after the Closing Date which is the subject of a Determination, shall be satisfied first from any amounts owing to the Stockholders pursuant to Section 2.6.

 

6.3.5 Claims Period. Any claim for indemnification by any Parent Indemnified Party under this Section 6.3 must be asserted by written notice on or before the date that is 18 months after the Closing Date.

 

6.3.6 Losses Not to Include Amounts in Net Assets. No claims for indemnification shall be made by Parent, Federal or the Surviving Corporation with respect to any amounts that are reflected as liabilities or reserves on the Closing Balance Sheet.

 

6.3.7 Exclusive Remedy. From and after the Closing, except as provided in the Consulting Agreement, the sole recourse and exclusive remedy of Parent, Federal, Merger Sub, the Company and the Stockholders against each other arising out of this Agreement or any certificate delivered in connection with this Agreement, or otherwise arising from the transactions contemplated hereby, shall be to assert a claim for indemnification under the indemnification provisions of Section 6.3. Except for claims against the Stockholders arising under this Agreement, none of Parent, Federal or Merger Sub shall assert and shall cause the Surviving Corporation not to assert any claim against any Stockholder (in their capacity as a stockholder of the Company), for or with respect to any matter relating to the Company arising prior to the Closing, it being understood that the foregoing limitation does not apply to claims against any Stockholder in his/her capacity as an employee of the Company or under any other agreements between the Company and such Stockholder in his/her capacity as an employee of the Company (such as the agreements described in Section 3.18.3 above).

 

6.3.8 Express Waiver of Other Remedies. Without limiting the generality or effect of Section 6.3.7, as a material inducement to the other parties hereto entering into this Agreement, each party to this Agreement, from and after the Closing and except as provided in the Consulting Agreement, hereby (i) waives, and forever releases and discharges the other parties and their respective representatives from, by reason of or relating to the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, any claim or cause of action arising under this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby which it otherwise might assert (except for actual and willful fraud or as otherwise provided in Section 9.6 hereof), including without limitation under the common law or federal or state securities, trade

 

33


regulation, environmental or other laws, except for claims or causes of action for which contractual indemnification may be sought under and subject to the express terms and conditions of Section 6.3, (ii) agrees not to, and to cause its representatives controlled by it not to, directly or indirectly, institute, prosecute or aid in the prosecution of any claim, demand, cause of action, suit or other proceeding against any other party or representative thereof, which is the subject of clause (i) of this Section 6.3.8, and (iii) agrees that, regardless of the foregoing provisions, no party will have any liability or obligation in respect of any claim or cause of action arising under this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby that is or may be brought except in respect of Losses, and then only to the extent expressly provided in Section 6.3.

 

6.3.9 Insurance. Federal, Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall seek full recovery under all insurance policies covering any Loss to the same extent as they would if such Loss were not subject to indemnification hereunder, and Federal, Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall not terminate or cancel any insurance policies in effect for periods prior to the Closing. In the event that an insurance recovery is made by Federal, Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any of their Affiliates with respect to any Loss for which any such Person has been indemnified hereunder, then a refund equal to the aggregate amount of the recovery (net of all direct collection expenses) shall be made promptly to the Stockholders’ Representative (on behalf of the Stockholders).

 

6.3.10 Subrogation. To the extent that an Indemnifying Party has discharged any claim for indemnification hereunder, the Indemnifying Party shall be subrogated to all rights of the Indemnified Party against any Person to the extent of the Losses that relate to such claim. Any Indemnified Party shall, upon written request by the Indemnifying Party following the discharge of such claim, execute an instrument reasonably necessary to evidence such subrogation rights.

 

6.3.11 Merger Price. Any payments made as indemnification under Section 6.3 shall be considered adjustments to the Merger Price.

 

6.3.12 Effect of Notice. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 6.3, none of the Company, the Stockholders, Federal, Parent or the Merger Sub shall be deemed to have breached any representation, warranty, or covenant if (i) the Stockholders’ Representative shall have notified Federal, Parent or the Merger Sub or Federal, Parent or the Merger Sub shall have notified the Stockholders’ Representative, as the case may be, in writing, on or prior to the Closing Date, of the breach of, or inaccuracy in, or of any facts or circumstances constituting or resulting in the breach of, or inaccuracy in, such representation, warranty or covenant and (ii) the party or parties receiving such notice shall have waived in writing such breach or inaccuracy.

 

6.3.13 Overestimation of Loss. In the event an Indemnified Party provides to the other party a Notice of Claim which estimates the damages grossly in excess of the damages actually settled, adjudicated or arbitrated, as the case may be, the Indemnifying Party may assert its expenses so incurred in a claim against the Indemnified Party.

 

6.3.14 Certain Limitations. In no event will Losses include claims for consequential, punitive or incidental damages, including consequential damages consisting of business interruption or lost profits.

6.4 Disclosure Generally. If and to the extent any information required to be furnished in any Schedule or Updated Schedule is contained in this Agreement or in any other Schedule or Updated Schedule attached hereto, such information shall be deemed to be included in all Schedules or Updated Schedules, respectively, in which the information is required to be included to the extent such disclosure is reasonably apparent on its face. The inclusion of any information in any Schedule or Updated Schedule attached hereto shall not be deemed to be an admission or acknowledgement by the Company or the Stockholders, in and of itself, that such information is material to or outside the ordinary course of the business of the Company.

 

6.5 Disclaimer of Implied Warranties. It is the explicit intent and understanding of each party hereto that no party hereto or any of such party’s Affiliates, representatives or agents is making any representation or warranty whatsoever, oral or written, express or implied, other than those set forth in this Agreement, and neither party hereto is relying on any statement, representation or warranty, oral or written, express or implied, made by the other party hereto or such other party’s Affiliates, representatives or agents, except for the representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement.

6.6 Access and Information. Subject to existing confidentiality obligations and applicable law and privileges, the Company shall afford to Parent and to a reasonable number of its officers, employees, accountants, counsel and other authorized representatives reasonable access, upon reasonable advance telephone notice, during regular business hours, throughout the period prior to the earlier of the Closing Date or the termination of this Agreement pursuant to its terms, to its offices, properties, books and records, and shall use reasonable efforts to cause its representatives and independent public accountants to furnish to Parent such additional financial and operating data and other information as to its business, customers, vendors and properties as Parent may from time to time reasonably request. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all visits to any Company office will be coordinated and conducted so as to not be disruptive to the operations of the Company and to preserve the confidentiality of the transactions contemplated hereby. In addition, with the prior consent of the Company, Parent, Federal and Merger Sub shall be permitted to meet with the Company’s significant customers.

 

6.7 Public Disclosure. Except as otherwise required by law, any press release or other public disclosure of information regarding the proposed transaction (including the negotiations or the termination of such negotiations with respect to the Merger and the terms and existence of this Agreement) shall be developed by Parent, subject to the Company’s review. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 9.3, the Company, the Major Stockholders and Parent agree that each party’s non-disclosure obligations contained in Section 10 of the Letter of Intent shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with the terms thereof and hereof.

 

6.8 No Solicitation of Employees. Parent, Federal and Merger Sub agree that between the date of this Agreement and the Closing Date or the date two years after the date, if any, on which this Agreement is earlier terminated pursuant to its terms, whichever period is longer,

book and Tax income) shown on the face of the Closing Balance Sheet or the Final Closing Balance Sheet.

 

6.10.2 Tax Periods Beginning Before and Ending after the Closing Date. Federal shall prepare or cause to be prepared and file or cause to be filed any separate Tax Returns of the Company for Tax periods which begin before the Closing Date and end after the Closing Date. Federal shall permit the Stockholders’ Representative to review and comment on each such Tax Return and shall make such revisions to such Tax Returns as are reasonably requested by the Stockholders’ Representative. Subject to all of the limitations set forth in Section 6.3, Sellers shall pay to Federal within fifteen (15) days after the date on which Taxes are paid with respect to such periods an amount equal to the portion of such Taxes which relates to the portion of such Taxable period ending on the Closing Date to the extent such Taxes are not reflected in the reserve for Tax Liability (rather than any reserve for deferred Taxes established to reflect timing differences between book and Tax income) shown on the face of the Closing Balance Sheet or Final Closing Balance Sheet. For purposes of this Section, in the case of any Taxes that are imposed on a periodic basis and are payable for a Taxable period that includes (but does not end on) the Closing Date, the portion of such Tax which relates to the portion of such Taxable period ending on the Closing Date shall (x) in the case of any Taxes other than Taxes based upon or related to income or receipts, be deemed to be the amount of such Tax for the entire Taxable period multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days in the Taxable period ending on the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in the entire Taxable period, and (y) in the case of any Tax based upon or related to income or receipts be deemed equal to the amount which would be payable if the relevant Taxable period ended on the Closing Date. Any credits relating to a Taxable period that begins before and ends after the Closing Date shall be taken into account as though the relevant Taxable period ended on the Closing Date. All determinations necessary to give effect to the foregoing allocations shall be made in a manner consistent with prior practice of the Company.

 

6.10.3 Cooperation on Tax Matters.

 

(a) Federal, the Company and the Stockholders shall cooperate fully, as and to the extent reasonably requested by the other party, in connection with the filing of Tax Returns pursuant to this Section and any audit, litigation or other proceeding with respect to Taxes. Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the other party’s request) the provision of records and information which are reasonably relevant to any such audit, litigation or other proceeding and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. The Company and the Stockholders agree (A) to retain all books and records with respect to Tax matters pertinent to the Company relating to any taxable period beginning before the Closing Date until the expiration of the statute of limitations (and, to the extent notified by Federal or the Stockholders, any extensions thereof) of the respective taxable periods, and to abide by all record retention agreements entered into with any taxing authority, and (B) to give the other party reasonable written notice prior to transferring, destroying or discarding any such books and records and, if the other party so requests, the Company or the Stockholders, as the case may be, shall allow the other party to take possession of such books and records.

 

37


(b) Federal and the Stockholders further agree, upon request, to use their best efforts to obtain any certificate or other document from any governmental authority or any other Person as may be necessary to mitigate, reduce or eliminate any Tax that could be imposed (including, but not limited to, with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby).

 

(c) Federal and the Stockholders further agree, upon request, to provide the other party with all information that either party may be required to report pursuant to section 6043 of the Code and all Treasury Department Regulations promulgated thereunder.

 

6.10.4 Tax Sharing Agreements. All tax sharing agreements or similar agreements with respect to or involving the Company shall be terminated as of the Closing Date and, after the Closing Date, the Company shall not be bound thereby or have any liability thereunder.

 

6.10.5 Certain Taxes. All transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration and other such Taxes and fees (including any penalties and interest) incurred in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including any corporate-level transfer gains tax triggered by the sale of the Company stock, and any transfer or similar tax imposed by any governmental authority), shall be borne equally by Federal and the Stockholders. The parties hereto will jointly file all necessary Tax Returns and other documentation with respect to all such transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration and other Taxes and fees.

 

6.10.6 Tax Treatment of the Merger. The parties to this Agreement acknowledge that the Merger is intended to be treated for United States federal income tax purposes as the purchase by Federal, and the sale by each of the Stockholders, of all of the issued and outstanding shares of Company Common Stock. Each of the parties to this Agreement shall file all Tax Returns in a manner consistent with such treatment.

 

6.10.7 Section 338 Election. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Stockholders shall have no liability under any provision of this Section 6.10 in connection with any election made under Section 338 of the Code with respect to the transactions contemplated under this Agreement.

 

6.11 Notification. From the date hereof until the Closing Date, the Company shall promptly disclose to Parent, Federal and Merger Sub in writing any material variances from the representations and warranties contained in Article 3 promptly upon discovery thereof, in the form of “Updated Schedules” delivered to Parent, Federal and Merger Sub. From the date hereof until the Closing Date, Parent, Federal and Merger Sub shall promptly disclose to the Company and the Stockholders’ Representative in writing any material variances from Parent, Federal and Merger Sub representations and warranties contained in Article 4, and Parent, Federal and Merger Sub shall promptly disclose to the Stockholders’ Representative if any of Parent, Federal and Merger Sub obtains actual knowledge that any of the representations and warranties of the

 

38


Company in this Agreement and the Schedules hereto are not true and correct in all material respects, or if any of Parent, Federal and Merger Sub obtains actual knowledge of any material errors in, or omissions from, the Exhibits or Schedules to this Agreement, except that Parent, Federal and Merger Sub shall not be required to disclose anything that the Company has disclosed on the Updated Schedules.

 

6.12 Amendment of Charter Documents. For a period of six (6) years after the Closing Date, neither Parent nor Federal shall (and shall cause the Surviving Corporation not to) amend the corporate charter or by-laws of the Surviving Corporation, if the effect of doing so would be to reduce or narrow the scope of the Company’s obligations to indemnify its officers and directors who served in such capacities prior to the Closing Date or to reduce or narrow the scope of any exculpatory provision in favor of any such person. Parent acknowledges that the intent of this provision is to give such persons the benefits of indemnity and exculpation to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

 

6.13 Employee Matters. For a period of at least one year following the Closing, the employees of the Surviving Corporation shall be eligible to receive employee benefits that in the aggregate are substantially comparable to the employee benefits currently provided to them by the Company.

 

6.14 Payment of Bonuses to Company Employees. Parent acknowledges that the Company has accrued bonuses in the amount of approximately $298,500 for certain employees of the Company designated in a list to be provided by the Company to Parent at Closing, and Parent agrees that it will cause the Surviving Corporation to pay out all such bonuses accrued on the Closing Balance Sheet to such employees, to the extent not previously distributed, no later than one-hundred twenty (120) days following the Closing Date. In the event a listed employee is terminated by the Company (or an affiliate) without cause, Parent will cause the Surviving Corporation to pay the applicable bonus to such employee on the date of termination.

 

6.15 Books and Records. The Parent agrees that it will cause the Surviving Corporation to preserve all books and records of the Company received from the Stockholders, or held by the Surviving Corporation immediately after the Closing, and provide the Stockholders or their agents reasonable access to such books and records for a period of six (6) years following the Closing Date, or until such later date as preservation of and access to those books and records is no longer required by any governmental or similar body.

 

6.16 Stockholders’ Meeting. In order to consummate the Merger, the Company, acting through its board of directors shall in accordance with its charter and bylaws and applicable law: (i) duly call, give notice of and hold a meeting of its Stockholders as soon as practicable following the date hereof; and (ii) include in such notice the recommendation of its board of directors that the Stockholders vote in favor of the Agreement.

Article 9

OTHER PROVISIONS

 

9.1 Termination Events. This Agreement may be terminated and the Merger abandoned at any time prior to the Closing Date, provided however that upon any such termination the surviving obligations of the Parties under the Letter of Intent, including the obligations of confidentiality and non-solicitation, shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with the terms of the Letter of Intent:

 

(a) by mutual written consent of Parent and the Company;

 

(b) by Parent if there has been a breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement on the part of the Company or the Major Stockholders and such breach has not been cured within ten business days after written notice to the Company (provided, that neither Parent nor Federal is in material

 

43


breach of the terms of this Agreement, and provided further, that no cure period shall be required for a breach which by its nature cannot be cured) such that the conditions set forth in Section 7.2.1 or Section 7.2.2 hereof, as the case may be, will not be satisfied;

 

(c) by Parent, if the Company, its board of directors or the Major Stockholders shall have (i) withdrawn, modified or amended in any material respect the approval of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated herein, or (ii) taken any public position inconsistent with its approval or recommendation, including, without limitation, having failed (without the consent of Parent) after a reasonable period of time to reject or disapprove any Acquisition Proposal (or after a reasonable period of time to recommend to its shareholders such rejection or disapproval);

(e) by the Company, if the Company accepts an Acquisition Proposal for any reason, including pursuant to a good-faith determination by its Board of Directors, after consulting with counsel, that not to accept the Acquisition Proposal would constitute a breach of the Directors’ fiduciary duty under the CV; provided, however, that in that event the Company shall pay to Parent the amount pursuant to Section 6.1;

 

(f) by any party hereto if: (i) there shall be a final, non-appealable order of a federal or state court in effect preventing consummation of the Merger; (ii) there shall be any final action taken, or any statute, rule, regulation or order enacted, promulgated or issued or deemed applicable to the Merger by any Governmental Entity which would make consummation of the Merger illegal; or

 

(g) by any party hereto if the Merger shall not have been consummated by November 16, 2002 , provided that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 9.1(f) shall not be available to any party whose failure to fulfill any material obligation under this Agreement has been the cause of, or resulted in, the failure of the Closing Date to occur on or before such date.

 

9.2 Notices.

9.3 Entire Agreement. Unless otherwise herein specifically provided, this Agreement and the documents and instruments and other agreements among the parties hereto as contemplated by or referred to herein constitute the entire agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all other prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, including the Letter of Intent. Each party hereto acknowledges that, in entering this Agreement and completing the transactions contemplated hereby, such party is not relying on any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement not expressly stated in this Agreement or in the agreements among the parties contemplated by or referred to herein.

 

9.4 Assignability. This Agreement is not intended to confer upon any person other than the parties hereto any rights or remedies hereunder, except as otherwise expressly provided herein. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall be assigned or delegated, whether by operation of law or otherwise, without the written consent of all parties hereto.

 

9.5 Validity. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provisions of this Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provisions of this Agreement, each of which shall remain in full force and effect.

 

9.6 Specific Performance. The parties hereto acknowledge that damages alone may not adequately compensate a party for violation by another party of this Agreement. Accordingly, in addition to all other remedies that may be available hereunder or under applicable law, any party shall have the right to any equitable relief that may be appropriate to remedy a breach or threatened breach by any other party hereunder, including the right to enforce specifically the terms of this Agreement by obtaining injunctive relief in respect of any violation or non-performance hereof.

 

9.7 Governing Law. This Agreement shall take effect and shall be construed as a contract under the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia.

 

9.8 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, all of which together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

 

9.9 Jurisdiction. The parties hereto consent to personal jurisdiction in the Commonwealth of Virginia and agree that the exclusive venue and place of trial for the resolution of any disputes arising in connection with the interpretation or enforcement of this Agreement shall be either the federal or state court in the Commonwealth of Virginia.

 

9.10 Legal Representation. It is understood and agreed that the firm of Dickstein Shapiro Morin & Oshinsky LLP (“DSMO”) has represented the Stockholders in connection with the negotiation and execution of this Agreement and has not represented any interest of Parent, Federal, or Merger Sub. It is further understood that DSMO has represented and advised the Company in connection with this Agreement and in connection with other matters during the period before the Closing when the Company’s interest has been consistent with the interests of the Stockholders. In any dispute or proceeding arising under or in connection with this Agreement, including without limitation under Article VI, the Stockholders shall have the right,

 

46


at their election, to retain DSMO to represent them in that matter, and each of Parent, Federal and Merger Sub, for itself, for the Surviving Corporation and for their respective successors and assigns, hereby consents to any such representation in any such matter. Each of Parent, Federal, Merger Sub, for itself, for the Surviving Corporation and for their respective successors and assigns, hereby acknowledges and agrees that all communications between the Stockholders and their counsel, including without limitation DSMO, made in connection with the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery and closing under, or any dispute or proceeding arising under or in connection with, this Agreement, or any matter relating to any of the foregoing, are privileged communications between the Stockholders and such counsel; and none of Parent, Federal or the Surviving Corporation, nor any Person purporting to act on behalf of or through Parent, Federal or the Surviving Corporation, will seek to compel disclosure of the same by any process. Nothing in this section shall be construed as a waiver by or on behalf of the Company or the Surviving Corporation of any right to confidentiality, including any attorney-client privilege, with respect to communications made by or on behalf of the Company to DSMO in connection with DSMO’s engagement as counsel to the Company with respect to matters not related to this Agreement.

 

9.11 Amendment. Subject to Section 13.1-718(I) of the CV, the board of directors of each corporation party to the Merger may amend the Agreement at any time prior to issuance of the certificate of merger. Such amendment shall be made by written agreement.

For the purpose of securing the Stockholders’ obligations pursuant to Section 6.3, $1,500,000 (One Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars) of the total Purchase Price (the “Escrow Payment”) shall be delivered to an account (the “Escrow”) to be administered by Riggs Bank NA (the “Escrow Agent”) pursuant to an escrow agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit A (the “Escrow Agreement”).

 

2.3 Additional Actions. If, at any time after the Closing Date, any further action is necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement or to vest, perfect or confirm in Federal title to or ownership or possession of the Shares acquired pursuant to this Agreement, the Stockholders, as well as the officers and directors of ATS and Federal, are fully authorized in their name and in the name of their respective corporations or otherwise to take, and will take, all such lawful and necessary action to so vest, perfect or confirm in Federal title to or ownership of the Shares, so long as such action is consistent with this Agreement.

 

2.4 Stockholders’ Representative. The Stockholders hereby appoint Carlson as the true and lawful agent and attorney-in-fact (the “Stockholders’ Representative”) of the Stockholders with full power of substitution to act in the name, place and stead of the Stockholders with respect to the surrender of the stock certificates owned by the Stockholders to Federal in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement, and to act on behalf of the Stockholders in any litigation or arbitration involving this Agreement, act as the paying agent on behalf of the Stockholders, do or refrain from doing all such further acts and things, and execute all such documents as the Stockholders’ Representative shall deem necessary or appropriate in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including, without limitation, the power:

 

2.4.1 to act for the Stockholders with regard to matters pertaining to indemnification referred to in this Agreement, including the power to compromise any indemnity claim on behalf of the Stockholders and to transact matters of litigation;

The appointment of the Stockholders’ Representative shall be deemed coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable, and Parent, Federal and ATS may conclusively and absolutely rely, without inquiry, upon any action of the Stockholders’ Representative in all matters referred to herein.

 

If Carlson resigns, dies or is otherwise unable to serve as the Stockholders’ Representative, the successor Stockholders’ Representative shall be designated in writing by the Stockholders who held a majority of the ATS Common Stock immediately prior to the Closing.

 

If any individual Stockholders should die or become incapacitated, if any trust or estate should terminate or if any other such event should occur, any action taken by the Stockholders’ Representative pursuant to this Section 2.4 shall be as valid as if such death or incapacity, termination or other event had not occurred, regardless of whether or not the Stockholders’ Representative or the Surviving Corporation shall have received notice of such death, incapacity, termination or other event.

 

All notices required to be made or delivered by Parent, Federal or ATS to the Stockholders shall be made to the Stockholders’ Representative for the benefit of the Stockholders and shall discharge in full all notice requirements of Parent, Federal or the Surviving Corporation to the Stockholders with respect thereto. The Stockholders hereby confirm all that the Stockholders’ Representative shall do or cause to be done by virtue of her appointment as the Stockholders’ Representative of the Stockholders.

 

The Stockholders’ Representative shall act for the Stockholders on all of the matters set forth in this Agreement in the manner the Stockholders’ Representative believes to be in the best interest of the Stockholders and consistent with the obligations under this Agreement, but the Stockholders’ Representative shall not be responsible to the Stockholders for any loss or damages the Stockholders may suffer by the performance by the Stockholders’ Representative of her duties under this Agreement, other than loss or damage arising from willful violation of the law by the Stockholders’ Representative of her duties under this Agreement. The Stockholders’ Representative and her heirs and personal or legal representatives shall be held harmless by the Stockholders from, and indemnified against any loss or damages arising out of or in connection with the performance of her obligations in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, except for any of the foregoing arising out of the willful violation of the law by the Stockholders’ Representative of her duties hereunder. The foregoing indemnity shall survive the resignation or substitution of the Stockholders’ Representative.

 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Stockholders’ Representative shall have no liability or obligation to any Parent Indemnified Party otherwise than, and only to the extent of, her individual liability as a Stockholder as set forth in Section 6.3.

2.5.1 Preparation of Closing Balance Sheet. As soon as reasonably possible after the Closing Date (but not later than 60 days thereafter), Federal shall prepare or cause to be prepared and shall deliver to the Stockholders’ Representative a Closing Balance Sheet for ATS as of the opening of business on the Closing Date (the “Closing Balance Sheet”). The Closing

Balance Sheet shall be prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”).

 

2.5.2 Review of Closing Balance Sheet. The Stockholders’ Representative, upon receipt of the Closing Balance Sheet, shall (a) review the Closing Balance Sheet and (b) to the extent she may deem necessary, make reasonable inquiry of ATS, Federal and its accountants (if any are used), relating to the preparation of the Closing Balance Sheet. The Stockholders’ Representative and her employees and advisors shall have full access upon prior written notice and during normal business hours to the books, papers and records of ATS and its accountants (if any are used), relating to the preparation of the Closing Balance Sheet in connection with such inquiry and the preparation of the Objection thereto. The Closing Balance Sheet shall be binding and conclusive upon, and deemed accepted by, the Stockholders’ Representative on behalf of the Stockholders unless the Stockholders’ Representative shall have notified Federal in writing of any objections thereto (the “Objection”) within 30 days after receipt of the Closing Balance Sheet.

 

2.5.3 Disputes. In the event of the Objection, Federal shall have 20 days to review and respond to the Objection, and Federal and the Stockholders’ Representative shall attempt to resolve the differences underlying the Objection within 20 days following completion of Federal’s review of the Objection. Disputes between Federal and the Stockholders’ Representative which cannot be resolved by them within such 20-day period shall be referred no later than such 20th day for decision to a nationally-recognized independent public accounting firm mutually selected by the Stockholders’ Representative and Federal (which firm shall not be either of (a) the independent public accountants of Federal or (b) the independent public accountants used by ATS prior to the Closing Date) (the “Auditor”) who shall act as arbitrator and determine, based solely on presentations by the Stockholders’ Representative and Federal and only with respect to the remaining differences so submitted, whether and to what extent, if any, the Closing Balance Sheet requires adjustment. The Auditor shall deliver its written determination to Federal and the Stockholders’ Representative no later than the 30th day after the remaining differences underlying the Objection are referred to the Auditor, or such longer period of time as the Auditor determines is necessary. The Auditor’s determination shall be conclusive and binding upon the parties. The fees and disbursements of the Auditor shall be allocated equally between Federal and the Stockholders. Federal and the Stockholders shall make readily available to the Auditor all relevant information, books and records and any work papers relating to the Closing Balance Sheet and all other items reasonably requested by the Auditor. In no event may the Auditor’s resolution of any difference be for an amount which is outside the range of Federal’s and the Stockholders’ Representative’s disagreement.

 

2.5.4 Final Closing Balance Sheet. The Closing Balance Sheet shall become final and binding upon the parties upon the earlier of (a) the Stockholders’ Representative’s failure to object thereto within the period permitted under Section 2.5.2, (b) the agreement between Federal and the Stockholders’ Representative with respect thereto and (c) the decision by the Auditor with respect to any disputes under Section 2.5.3. The Closing Balance Sheet, as adjusted pursuant to the agreement of the parties or decision of the Auditor, when final and binding is referred to herein as the “Final Closing Balance Sheet.”

2.5.5 Adjustments to the Purchase Price. As soon as practicable (but not more than five business days) after the date on which the Final Closing Balance Sheet shall have been determined in accordance with this Section 2.4, (a) the Stockholders’ Representative, as paying agent, shall pay to Federal in immediately available funds in United States dollars the amount, if any, by which the Net Worth in the Final Closing Balance Sheet is less than $845,000, which shall constitute an immediate adjustment of the Purchase Price in such amount or (b) Federal shall pay to the Stockholders’ Representative, as paying agent, in immediately available funds in United States Dollars the amount, if any, by which the Net Worth in the Final Closing Balance Sheet is greater than $845,000, which shall constitute an immediate adjustment of the Purchase Price in such amount. Any payment to the Stockholders’ Representative pursuant to this section shall be reduced by an amount equal to 3%, which amount shall be paid by Federal to Broker.

3.2 Capital Stock.

 

3.2.1 Authorized Stock of ATS. The authorized capital stock of ATS consists of 1,000,000 shares of ATS Common Stock, of which 700,000 shares are issued and outstanding.

3.5 Financial Statements. ATS has previously furnished Parent with a copy of ATS’s balance sheet as of December 31, 2002 and ATS’s statements of operations, cash flows and changes in the stockholders’ equity for the year then ended. Such financial statements were reviewed by ATS’s Accountant.

3.6 Absence of Material Adverse Changes. Except as set forth on Schedule 3.6 hereto, since the date of the Letter of Intent, ATS has not suffered any ATS Material Adverse Effect, and there has not occurred or arisen any event, condition or state of facts of any character that could reasonably be expected to result in an ATS Material Adverse Effect.

3.7 Absence of Undisclosed Liabilities. Except as set forth on Schedule 3.7, ATS has no Liabilities that are not fully reflected or provided for on, or disclosed in the notes to, the balance sheets included in the ATS Financial Statements, except (a) Liabilities incurred in the ordinary course of business since the date of the ATS Balance Sheet, none of which individually or in the aggregate has had or could reasonably be expected to have an ATS Material Adverse Effect, (b) Liabilities permitted or contemplated by this Agreement, and (c) Liabilities expressly disclosed on the Schedules delivered hereunder.

 

3.8 Compliance with Applicable Law, Charter and By-Laws. ATS has all requisite licenses, permits and certificates from all Governmental Entities necessary to conduct its business as currently conducted, and to own, lease and operate its properties in the manner currently held and operated (collectively, “Permits”), except as set forth on Schedule 3.8 hereto and except for any Permits the absence of which, in the aggregate, do not and could not reasonably be expected to have an ATS Material Adverse Effect or prevent or materially delay the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby. All of such Permits are in full force and effect. ATS is in compliance in all material respects with all the terms and conditions related to such Permits. There are no proceedings in progress, pending or, to the Knowledge of ATS, threatened, which may result in revocation, cancellation, suspension, or any materially adverse modification of any of such Permits. To the Knowledge of ATS, the business of ATS is not being conducted in violation of any applicable law, statute, ordinance, regulation, rule, judgment, decree, order, Permit, concession, grant or other authorization of any Governmental Entity. ATS is not in default or violation of any provision of its charter documents or its by-laws.

Except for any claim, action, suit or proceeding set forth on Schedule 3.9 or Schedule 3.10 hereto, (a) there is no investigation by any Governmental Entity with respect to ATS pending or, to the Knowledge of ATS, threatened, nor has any Governmental Entity indicated to ATS an intention to conduct the same; (b) there is no claim, action, suit, arbitration or proceeding pending or, to the Knowledge of ATS, threatened against or involving ATS or any of its assets or properties, at law or in equity, or before any arbitrator or Governmental Entity, that, if adversely determined, either singly or in the aggregate, would have an ATS Material Adverse Effect or prevent or materially delay the consummation of the

 

13


transactions contemplated hereby; and (c) there are no judgments, decrees, injunctions or orders of any Governmental Entity or arbitrator outstanding against ATS.

 

3.10 Tax Matters.

 

3.10.1 Filing of Returns. ATS has filed all Tax Returns that it was required to file. All such Tax Returns were correct and complete in all respects. All Taxes owed by ATS (whether or not shown on any Tax Return) have been paid. Excluding any built-in gains tax, ATS is not currently the beneficiary of any extension of time within which to file any Tax Return. No claim has ever been made by an authority in a jurisdiction where ATS does not file Tax Returns that it is or may be subject to taxation by that jurisdiction. There are no Security Interests on any of the assets of ATS that arose in connection with any failure (or alleged failure) to pay any Tax.

 

3.10.2 Payment of Taxes. ATS has withheld and paid all Taxes required to have been withheld and paid in connection with amounts paid or owing to any employee, independent contractor, creditor, stockholder or other third party.

 

3.10.3 Assessments or Disputes. Neither Carlson nor any director or officer (or employee responsible for Tax matters) of ATS expects any authority to assess any additional Taxes for any period for which Tax Returns have been filed. There is no dispute or claim concerning any Tax Liability of ATS either (a) claimed or raised by any authority or (b) as to which Carlson or any of the directors and officers (and employees responsible for Tax matters) of ATS has knowledge based upon personal contact with any agent of such authority. Schedule 3.10 lists all federal, state, local, and foreign income Tax Returns filed with respect to ATS for taxable periods ended on or after April 30, 2000, indicates those Tax Returns that have been audited and indicates those Tax Returns that currently are the subject of audit. ATS has delivered or made available to Federal correct and complete copies of all federal income Tax Returns, examination reports, and statements of deficiencies assessed against or agreed to by ATS.

 

3.10.4 Waiver of Statute of Limitations. ATS has not waived any statute of limitations in respect of Taxes or agreed to any extension of time with respect to a Tax assessment or deficiency.

 

3.10.5 Tax Basis. Schedule 3.10.5 sets forth (a) the basis of ATS in its assets, (b) the value of each of ATS’s assets on the day it became an S corporation, (c) ATS’s adjusted tax basis in each such asset on the day it became an S corporation, and (d) the amount of Tax that will be imposed on ATS as a result of the Section 338(h)(10) Election (the “338(h)(10) Amount”).

 

14


3.10.6 Unpaid Taxes. ATS’s unpaid taxes (a) did not, as of the date of the ATS Balance Sheet, exceed the amount accrued for Tax liability (rather than any reserve for deferred Taxes established to reflect timing differences between book and Tax income) set forth on the ATS Balance Sheet (rather than in any notes thereto) and (c) do not exceed that amount accrued as adjusted for the passage of time through the Closing Date in accordance with the past custom and practice of ATS in filing its Tax Returns.

 

3.10.7 Unclaimed Property. ATS has no assets that may constitute unclaimed property under applicable law. ATS has complied in all material respects with all applicable unclaimed property laws. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, ATS has established and followed procedures to identify any unclaimed property and, to the extent required by applicable law, remit such unclaimed property to the applicable governmental authority. ATS’s records are adequate to permit a governmental agency or authority or other outside auditor to confirm the foregoing representations.

 

3.10.8 No Changes in Accounting, Closing Agreement, Installment Sale. ATS will not be required to include any item of income in, or exclude any item of deduction from, taxable income for any taxable period (or portion thereof) ending after the Closing Date as a result of any (a) change in method of accounting for a taxable period ending on or prior to the Closing Date under Code section 481(c) (or any corresponding or similar provision of state, local or foreign income Tax law); (b) ”closing agreement” as described in Code section 7121 (or any corresponding or similar provision of state, local or foreign income Tax law) executed on or prior to the Closing Date; (c) deferred intercompany gain or any excess loss account described in Treasury Regulations under Code section 1502 (or any corresponding or similar provision of state, local or foreign income Tax law); (d) installment sale or open transaction disposition made on or prior to the Closing Date; or (e) prepaid amount received on or prior to the Closing Date.

 

3.10.9 S Corporation. ATS (and any predecessor of ATS) has been a validly electing S corporation within the meaning of Code sections 1361 and 1362 at all times since May 1, 2001, and ATS will be an S corporation up to and including the Closing Date. Since May 1, 2001, ATS has had only one class of stock within the meaning of section 1361(b)(1)(D) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder, and each outstanding share of ATS Common Stock confers identical rights to distributions and liquidation proceeds, taking into account the corporate charter, articles of incorporation, bylaws, applicable state law, and binding agreements relating to distribution and liquidation proceeds.

 

3.11 Employee Benefit Plans.

 

3.11.1 List of Plans. Schedule 3.11 hereto contains a correct and complete list of all pension, profit sharing, retirement, deferred compensation, welfare, legal services, medical, dental or other employee benefit or health insurance plans, life insurance or other death benefit plans, disability, stock option, stock purchase, stock compensation, bonus, vacation pay, severance pay and other similar plans, programs or agreements, and every material written personnel policy, relating to any persons employed by ATS or in which any person employed by ATS is eligible to participate and which is currently maintained or that was maintained at any time by ATS or any ERISA Affiliate of ATS (collectively, the “ATS Plans”). ATS has delivered to Parent (a) accurate and complete copies of all ATS Plan documents and all other material

 

15


documents relating thereto, including (if applicable) all documents establishing or constituting any related trust, annuity contract, insurance contract or other funding instruments, and summary plan descriptions relating to said ATS Plans, (b) accurate and complete copies of the most recent financial statements and actuarial reports with respect to all ATS Plans for which financial statements or actuarial reports are required or have been prepared, and (c) accurate and complete copies of all annual reports and summary annual reports for all ATS Plans (for which annual reports are required). ATS has also delivered to Parent complete copies of other current plan summaries, employee booklets, personnel manuals and other material documents or written materials concerning the ATS Plans that are in possession of ATS as of the date hereof. ATS has no “defined benefit plans” as defined in Section 3(35) of ERISA. ATS has no current or contingent obligation to contribute to any multiemployer plan (as defined in Section 3(37) of ERISA).

 

3.11.2 ERISA. Neither ATS nor any ERISA Affiliate of ATS has incurred any “withdrawal liability” calculated under Section 4211 of ERISA and there has been no event or circumstance which would cause any of them to incur any such liability. No ERISA Title IV plan previously maintained by ATS or any ERISA Affiliate of ATS which was subject to ERISA has been terminated; no proceedings to terminate any such plan have been instituted within the meaning of Subtitle C of Title IV of ERISA; and no reportable event within the meaning of Section 4043 of said Subtitle C of Title IV of ERISA with respect to which the requirement to file a notice with the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation has not been waived has occurred with respect to any such ATS Plan, and no liability to the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation has been incurred by ATS or any ERISA Affiliate of ATS. Except as set forth on Schedule 3.11, with respect to all ATS Plans, ATS and ATS’s ERISA Affiliates are in material compliance with all requirements prescribed by all statutes, regulations, orders or rules currently in effect, and have in all material respects performed all obligations required to be performed by them. All returns, reports and disclosure statements required to be made under ERISA and the Code with respect to all ATS Plans have been timely filed or delivered. Neither ATS nor any ERISA Affiliate of ATS, nor any of their directors, officers, employees or agents, nor any trustee or administrator of any trust created under the ATS Plans, has engaged in or been a party to any “prohibited transaction” as defined in Section 4975 of the Code or Section 406 of ERISA which could subject ATS or any Affiliate of ATS, or any director or employee of any ATS Plan or any trust relating to any ATS Plan, or any party dealing with any ATS Plan or trust relating thereto to any tax or penalty on “prohibited transactions” imposed by Section 4975 of the Code. Except as set forth on Schedule 3.11, neither the ATS Plans nor any of the trusts created thereunder have incurred any “accumulated funding deficiency,” as such term is defined in Section 412 of the Code and regulations issued thereunder, whether or not waived. ATS has not at any time had an ERISA Affiliate.

 

3.11.3 Plan Determinations. Each ATS Plan intended to qualify under Section 401(a) of the Code has been determined by the Internal Revenue Service to so qualify, and the trusts created thereunder have been determined to be exempt from tax under Section 501(a) of the Code; copies of all determination letters have been delivered to Parent, and, to the Knowledge of ATS, nothing has occurred since the date of such determination letters which might cause the loss of such qualification or exemption, or result in the imposition of any excise tax or income tax on unrelated business income under the Code or ERISA with respect to any ATS Plan.

 

16


3.11.4 Funding. Except as set forth on Schedule 3.11:

 

(a) all contributions, premiums or other payments due or required to be made to ATS Plans as of the date hereof have been made as of the date hereof or are properly reflected on ATS Balance Sheet;

 

(b) there are no actions, liens, suits or claims (other than routine claims for benefits) pending or, to the Knowledge of ATS, threatened, with respect to any ATS Plan, nor is any ATS Plan the subject of any pending (or to the Knowledge of ATS, any threatened) investigation or audit by the Internal Revenue Service, Department of Labor or the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation;

 

(c) no event has occurred, and there exists no condition or set of circumstances, which presents a material risk of a partial termination (within the meaning of Section 411(d)(3) of the Code) of any ATS Plan; and

 

(d) with respect to any ATS Plan that is qualified under Section 401(k) of the Code, individually and in the aggregate, no event has occurred, and there exists no condition or set of circumstances in connection with which ATS could be subject to any liability (except liability for benefits claims and funding obligations payable in the ordinary course) that is reasonably likely to have an ATS Material Adverse Effect under ERISA, the Code or any other applicable law.

 

3.11.5 Certain Other Matters. Except as reserved for on the Closing Balance Sheet or the Final Closing Balance Sheet, ATS has no liability or potential liability in any form whatsoever, and ATS will not have liability or potential liability in any form whatsoever, with regard to any ATS Plan, as a result of the any failure to perform non-discrimination testing on an ATS Plan or any failure to amend an ATS Plan pursuant to the legislation commonly known as “GUST” or the legislation commonly known as “EGTRRA.” All employee contributions, including elective deferrals, to ATS’s 401(k) plan(s) have been segregated from ATS’s general assets and deposited into the trust(s) established pursuant to such 401(k) plan(s) in a timely manner in accordance with the “plan asset” regulations of the Department of Labor.

 

3.11.6 Welfare Plans. With respect to any ATS Plan that is an employee welfare benefit plan (within the meaning of Section 3(1) of ERISA) (a “Welfare Plan”) and except as set forth on Schedule 3.11, (a) each Welfare Plan for which contributions are claimed by ATS as deductions under any provision of the Code is in material compliance with all applicable requirements pertaining to such deduction, (b) with respect to any welfare benefit fund (within the meaning of Section 419 of the Code) related to a Welfare Plan, there is no disqualified benefit (within the meaning of Section 4976(b) of the Code) that would result in the imposition of a tax under Section 4976(a) of the Code, (c) any ATS Plan that is a group health plan (within the meaning of Section 4980B(g)(2) of the Code) complies, and in each and every case has complied, with all of the applicable material requirements of COBRA, the Family Medical Leave Act of 1993, the Health Insurance and Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, the Women’s Health and Cancer Rights Act of 1996, the Newborns’ and Mothers’ Health Protection Act of 1996, and any similar provisions of state law or foreign law applicable to employees of ATS or any ERISA Affiliate of ATS. None of the ATS Plans promises or provides retiree medical or

 

17


other retiree welfare benefits to any person except as required by applicable law, and neither ATS nor any ERISA Affiliate of ATS has represented, promised or contracted (whether in oral or written form) to provide such retiree benefits to any employee, former employee, director, consultant or other person, except to the extent required by statute. Except with respect to Health Maintenance Organizations, no ATS Plan or employment agreement provides health benefits that are not insured through an insurance contract. Each ATS Plan is amendable and terminable unilaterally by ATS at any time without liability to ATS as a result thereof and no ATS Plan, plan documentation or agreement, summary plan description or other written communication distributed generally to employees by its terms prohibits ATS from amending or terminating any such ATS Plan.

 

3.12 Employment-Related Matters.

 

3.12.1 Labor Relations. Except to the extent set forth on Schedule 3.13 hereto: (a) ATS is not a party to any collective bargaining agreement or other contract or agreement with any labor organization or other representative of employees of ATS; (b) there is no labor strike, dispute, slowdown, work stoppage or lockout that is pending or, to the Knowledge of ATS, threatened against or otherwise affecting ATS, and ATS has not experienced the same; (c) ATS has not closed any plant or facility, effectuated any layoffs of employees or implemented any early retirement or separation program at any time, nor has ATS planned or announced any such action or program for the future with respect to which ATS has any material liability; and (d) all salaries, wages, vacation pay, bonuses, commissions and other compensation due from ATS before the date hereof have been paid or accrued as of the date hereof.

 

3.12.2 Employee List. ATS has heretofore delivered to Parent a list (the “Employee List”) dated as of the date of this Agreement containing the name of each person employed by ATS and each such employee’s position, starting employment date and annual salary. The Employee List is correct and complete as of the date of the Employee List. No third party has asserted any claim or has any reasonable basis to assert any claim against ATS that either the continued employment by, or association with, ATS of any of the present officers or employees of, or consultants to, ATS contravenes any agreements or laws applicable to unfair competition, trade secrets or proprietary information.

Parent, Federal or any of their respective Subsidiaries. Subject to the terms of this Section 6.3, from and after the Closing Date, the Stockholders and each of their respective successors (collectively the “Stockholder Indemnified Parties”) shall be entitled to payment and reimbursement from Parent, Federal and ATS (the “Stockholder Indemnifying Parties”) of the amount of Loss suffered, incurred or paid by any Stockholder Indemnified Party by reason of any breach of any representation or warranty made by Parent or Federal in this Agreement, the breach or nonperformance of any covenant or obligation to be performed by Parent, Federal hereunder (or ATS hereunder after the Closing Date) or under any agreement executed in connection herewith, or any matter arising out of the business of ATS after the Closing.

 

6.3.1 Claims for Indemnification. Upon obtaining knowledge of any facts, claim or demand which has given rise to, or could reasonably give rise to, a claim for indemnification hereunder (referred to herein as an “Indemnification Claim”), the party seeking indemnification hereunder, the Parent Indemnified Party or the Stockholder Indemnified Party, as the case may be (the “Indemnified Party”), shall promptly give written notice of such facts, claim or demand (“Notice of Claim”) to the party from whom indemnification is sought, the Parent Indemnifying Party or the Stockholder Indemnified Party, as the case may be (the “Indemnifying Party”). So long as the Notice of Claim is given by the Indemnified Party in the Claims Period specified in Section 6.3.4, no failure or delay by the Indemnified Party in the giving of a Notice of Claim shall reduce or otherwise affect the Indemnified Party’s right to indemnification except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party has been prejudiced thereby.

 

6.3.2 Defense by Indemnifying Party. In the event of a claim or demand asserted by a third party (a “Third Party Claim”), the Indemnifying Party shall have the right, but not the obligation, exercisable by written notice to the Indemnified Party within 10 days of the date of the Notice of Claim concerning the commencement or assertion of any Third Party Claim, to participate in the defense of such Third Party Claim. If the Indemnifying Party gives such notice of intent to defend, the Indemnifying Party shall assume the defense thereof as follows: (a) the Indemnifying Party will defend the Indemnified Party against the matter with counsel compensated by and chosen by the Indemnifying Party, which choice of counsel shall be subject to the reasonable satisfaction of the Indemnified Party; (b) the Indemnified Party may retain separate co-counsel at the sole cost and expense of Indemnified Party; (c) the Indemnified Party will not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the matter without the written consent of the Indemnifying Party; and (d) the Indemnifying Party will not consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to the matter, or enter into any settlement that does not include a provision whereby the plaintiff or claimant in the matter releases the Indemnified Party from all liability with respect thereto, without the written consent of the Indemnified Party. If, however, (y) no Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party within 10 days after the Indemnified Party has given notice of the matter, that the Indemnifying Party is assuming the defense thereof, or (z) , the maximum liability under such Third Party Claim is greater than the available indemnification amount for the Indemnifying Party (after taking into account the amount of all other claims for which the Indemnifying Party may be or may be claimed to be liable and any limitations contained in Section 6.3.3 hereof), then the Indemnified Party shall defend against, or enter into any settlement with respect to the matter. The Indemnified Party shall not settle such Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

 

31


6.3.3 Limitation on Liability for Indemnity. The Parent Indemnified Parties shall not be entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Section 6.3 until the aggregate amount of all Losses suffered by the Parent Indemnified Parties exceed $150,000 (the “Parent Indemnity Deductible”) whereupon the Parent Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to indemnification hereunder for the aggregate amount of all of such Losses. The Parent Indemnity Deductible shall be determined without regard to any materiality qualification contained in any representation or warranty.

 

(b) The Stockholder Indemnified Parties shall not be entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Section 6.3 until the aggregate amount of all Losses, suffered by the Stockholder Indemnified Parties exceeds $150,000 (the “Stockholder Indemnity Deductible”) whereupon the Stockholder Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to indemnification hereunder for the aggregate amount of all of such Losses. The Stockholder Indemnity Deductible shall be determined without regard to any materiality qualification contained in any representation or warranty.

 

(c) The aggregate liability of the Seller Indemnifying Parties for indemnification under this Section 6.3 shall not exceed $1,500,000. The aggregate liability of the Parent Indemnifying Parties for indemnification under this Section 6.3 shall not exceed $1,500,000. Provided that Parent and Federal are not otherwise in default of their obligations under Section 2.2 above, then to the extent that the amount then held in the Escrow is sufficient, the amount that a Parent Indemnified Party is entitled receive in indemnification hereunder, or such lesser amount as is then held in the Escrow, shall be released from the Escrow and paid to such Parent Indemnified Party in partial (if the amount then held in the Escrow is less than the amount such Parent Indemnified Party is entitled receive in indemnification hereunder ) or full satisfaction of the Parent Indemnifying Parties’ obligation hereunder, as the case may be.

 

6.3.4 Claims Period. Any claim for indemnification under this Section 6.3 must be asserted by written notice on or before the date that is 24 months after the Closing Date.

 

6.4 Access and Information. ATS shall afford to Parent, Federal, and to a reasonable number of their respective officers, employees, accountants, counsel and other authorized representatives full and complete access, upon reasonable advance telephone notice, during regular business hours, throughout the period prior to the earlier of the Closing Date or the termination of this Agreement pursuant to its terms, to ATS’s offices, properties, books and records, and ATS shall use reasonable efforts to cause its representatives and independent public accountants to furnish to Parent such additional financial and operating data and other information as to its business, customers, vendors and properties as Parent may from time to time reasonably request. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all visits to any office of ATS will be coordinated and conducted so as to not be disruptive to the operations of ATS and to preserve the confidentiality of the transactions contemplated hereby. In connection with the diligence investigation contemplated by Section 7.2.6, Parent and Federal may employ the services of a third party to provide document management and database services. As one of the last matters of the diligence investigation contemplated by Section 7.2.6, Parent and Federal shall be permitted to meet with ATS’s significant customers, provided however, that Parent and Federal agree that no such customer meetings shall be held without Carlson’s advance written approval of the

 

32


meeting format, discussion items and timing, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. Parent and Federal also agree that the timing of access by Parent and Federal to ATS’s employees, in addition to Alligood, Carlson and Walp, shall be subject to Carlson’s prior written approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld.

 

6.5 Public Disclosure. Except as otherwise required by law, the content and timing of any press release or other public disclosure of information regarding the proposed transaction (including the negotiations with respect to the Transaction and the terms and existence of this Agreement) shall be subject to the mutual approval of Carlson and Parent, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld.

(b) by Parent if there has been a breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement on the part of ATS or any Stockholder and such breach has not been cured within ten business days after written notice to ATS (provided, that neither Parent nor Federal is in material breach of the terms of this Agreement, and provided further, that no cure period shall be required for a breach which by its nature cannot be cured) such that the conditions set forth in Section 7.2.1 or Section 7.2.2 hereof, as the case may be, will not be satisfied;

 

(c) by Parent, if ATS, its board of directors or any Stockholder shall have (i) withdrawn, modified or amended in any material respect the approval of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated herein, or (ii) taken any public position inconsistent with its approval or recommendation, including, without limitation, having failed (without the consent of Parent) after a reasonable period of time to reject or disapprove any Acquisition Proposal (or after a reasonable period of time to recommend to its shareholders such rejection or disapproval), and in that event ATS shall pay to Parent the amount specified in Section 6.1.2, provided that neither Parent nor Federal is in material breach of the terms of this Agreement;

 

(d) by ATS, if there has been a breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement on the part of Parent or Federal and such breach has not been cured within ten business days after written notice to Parent (provided, that ATS is not in material breach of the terms of this Agreement, and provided further, that no cure period shall be required for a breach which by its nature cannot be cured) such that the conditions set forth in Section 7.3.1 or Section 7.3.2 hereof, as the case may be, will not be satisfied, and in that event Parent shall pay to ATS the amount specified in Section 6.1.3, provided that neither ATS nor any Stockholder is in material breach of the terms of this Agreement;

 

41


(e) by ATS, if ATS accepts an Acquisition Proposal for any reason, including pursuant to a good-faith determination by its board of directors, after consulting with counsel, that not to accept the Acquisition Proposal would constitute a breach of the directors’ fiduciary duty under the law of the Commonwealth of Virginia; provided, however, that in that event ATS shall, providing that neither Parent nor Federal is in material breach of the terms of this Agreement, pay to Parent the amount pursuant to Section 6.1.2;

 

(f) by ATS, if Parent (i) notifies ATS pursuant to Section 6.8.2 that Parent and Federal are no longer interested in purchasing all of the Shares upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement or (ii) fails to confirm in writing pursuant to Section 6.8.2 that Parent then has no reason to conclude that the condition to Closing set forth in Section 7.2.6 will not be fulfilled at or prior to the Closing;

 

(g) by any party hereto if: (i) there shall be a final, non-appealable order of a federal or state court in effect preventing consummation of the Transaction; or (ii) there shall be any final action taken, or any statute, rule, regulation or order enacted, promulgated or issued or deemed applicable to the Transaction by any Governmental Entity which would make consummation of the Transaction illegal or which would prohibit Parent’s or Federal’s ownership or operation of all or a material portion of the stock or assets of ATS, or compel Parent or Federal to dispose of or hold separate all or a material portion of the business or assets of ATS or Parent or Federal as a result of the Transaction; or

 

(h) by any party hereto if the Transaction shall not have been consummated by March 31, 2003 , provided that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 9.1(h) shall not be available to any party whose failure to fulfill any material obligation under this Agreement has been the cause of, or resulted in, the failure of the Closing Date to occur on or before such date.

 

9.2 Notices. All notices and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed given if delivered by hand sent via a reputable nationwide courier service or mailed by registered or certified mail (return receipt requested) to the parties at the following addresses (or at such other address for a party as shall be specified by like notice) and shall be deemed given on the date on which so hand-delivered or on the third business day following the date on which so mailed or sent:

All of such Permits are in full force and effect. Premier is in compliance in all material respects with all the terms and conditions related to such Permits. There are no proceedings in progress, pending or, to the Knowledge of Premier, threatened, which may result in revocation, cancellation, suspension, or any materially adverse modification of any of such Permits. To the Knowledge of Premier, the business of Premier is not being conducted in violation of any applicable law, statute, ordinance, regulation, rule, judgment, decree, order, Permit, concession, grant or other authorization of any Governmental Entity, which violation, in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to have a Premier Material Adverse Effect or prevent or materially delay the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

Except for any claim, action, suit or proceeding set forth on Schedule 3.9 or Schedule 3.10 hereto, (a) Premier has received no notice that there is any investigation by any Governmental Entity with respect to Premier pending or, to the Knowledge of Premier, threatened, and no Governmental Entity has indicated to Premier an intention to conduct the same, which, if adversely determined, either singly or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to have a Premier Material Adverse Effect or materially delay the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby; (b) there is no claim, action, suit, arbitration or proceeding pending or, to the Knowledge of Premier, threatened against or involving Premier or any of its assets or properties, at law or in equity, or before any arbitrator or Governmental Entity, that, if adversely determined, either singly or in the aggregate, would have a Premier Material Adverse Effect or prevent or materially delay the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby; and (c) there are no judgments, decrees, injunctions or orders of any Governmental Entity or arbitrator outstanding against Premier.

 

3.10 Tax Matters.

 

3.10.1 Filing of Returns. Except as set forth on Schedule 3.10.1 Premier has filed all material Tax Returns that it was required to file. All such Tax Returns were correct and complete in all material respects. All Taxes owed by Premier (as shown on any such Tax Return) have been paid or have been adequately reserved for on the Premier Balance Sheet. Premier is not currently the beneficiary of any extension of time within which to file any Tax Return. No claim has ever been made by an authority in a jurisdiction where Premier does not

 

16


file Tax Returns that it is or may be subject to taxation by that jurisdiction. Premier has not received any notice that there are any Security Interests on any of the Premier Assets that arose in connection with any failure (or alleged failure) to pay any Tax. Schedule 3.10 lists all federal, state, local and foreign income Tax Returns filed with respect to Premier for taxable periods ended on or after December 31, 1999, and indicates those Tax Returns that have been audited and indicates those Tax Returns that currently are the subject of audit.

 

3.10.2 Payment of Taxes. Except as set forth on Schedule 3.10.2 Premier has accrued, withheld and/or paid all Taxes required to have been accrued, withheld and/or paid in connection with amounts paid or owing to any employee, independent contractor, creditor, stockholder or other third party.

 

3.10.3 Premier Business Affiliates. None of Parent, Federal or Acquisition Sub or Premier employees and Premier Business Affiliate employees will suffer any Loss due to the imposition of any tax, charge, penalty or the like imposed by the government of the Federal Republic of Germany or any subdivision thereof in connection with the employment of persons in the Federal Republic of Germany by Premier or any of its Affiliates prior to the Closing Date.

 

3.11 Employee Benefit Plans.

 

3.11.1 List of Plans. Schedule 3.11.1 hereto contains a correct and complete list of all pension, profit sharing, retirement, deferred compensation, welfare, legal services, medical, dental or other employee benefit or health insurance plans, life insurance or other death benefit plans, disability, stock option, stock purchase, stock compensation, bonus, vacation pay, severance pay and other similar plans, programs or agreements, and every material written personnel policy, relating to any persons employed by Premier or in which any person employed by Premier is eligible to participate and which is currently maintained or that was maintained at any time by Premier or any ERISA Affiliate of Premier (collectively, the “Premier Plans”), including without limitation any Premier Plan that is an employee welfare benefit plan (within the meaning of Section 3(1) of ERISA) (a “Welfare Plan”).

 

3.11.2 ERISA. Schedule 3.11.2 contains a complete list of all employee pension benefit plans (as defined in Section 3(2) of ERISA) which are intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code and exempt from tax under Section 501(a) of the Code (the “Pension Plans”). Each Pension Plan has been determined by the Internal Revenue Service to be so qualified, and the trust created thereunder has been determined to be exempt from tax under Section 501(a) of the Code; copies of all determination letters have been delivered to the Purchaser. Any such determination remains in effect and has not been revoked, and nothing has occurred since the date of such determination letters which might cause the loss of such qualification or exemption.

 

Neither Premier not any ERISA Affiliate has incurred any liability under Title IV of ERISA which has not been paid in full prior to the Closing. There has been no “accumulated funding deficiency” (whether or not waived) with respect to any Pension Plan ever maintained by Premier or any ERISA Affiliate and subject to Code Section 412 or ERISA Section 302. With respect to any Pension Plan maintained by Premier or any ERISA Affiliate and subject to Title IV of ERISA, there has been no (nor will be any as a result of the transaction contemplated

 

17


by this Agreement) (i) “reportable event,” within the meaning of ERISA Section 4043, or the regulations thereunder (for which notice the notice requirement is not waived under 29 C.F.R. Part 2615) and (ii) no event or condition which presents a material risk of plan termination or any other event that may cause Premier or any ERISA Affiliate to incur liability or have a lien imposed on its assets under Title IV of ERISA. No Pension Plan maintained by Premier or any ERISA Affiliate and subject to Title IV of ERISA has any “unfunded benefit liabilities” within the meaning of ERISA Section 4001(a)(18), as of the Closing Date, and, without any additional contributions being made to such Plan, the assets of such Plan are sufficient to satisfy all obligations of the Plan if the Plan were to terminate. Neither Premier nor any ERISA Affiliate currently maintains or has ever maintained a Multiemployer Plan.

 

3.12 Employment-Related Matters.

This list is attached on Schedule 3.12.2. The Employee List is correct and complete as of the date of the Employee List. No third party has asserted any claim or, to the Knowledge of Premier, has any reasonable basis to assert any claim against Premier that either the continued employment by, or association with, Premier of any of the present officers or employees of, or consultants to, Premier contravenes any agreements or laws applicable to unfair competition, trade secrets or proprietary information.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, except as set forth on Schedule 3.13 hereto, Premier has not received any notices, demands, requests for information, investigations pertaining to compliance with or liability under Environmental Law or Materials of Environmental Concern, nor, to the Knowledge of Premier, are any such notices, demands, requests for information or investigations threatened.

3.16.2 Premier Leases. Schedule 3.16 hereto lists all Premier Leases.

The Premier Leases grant leasehold estates free and clear of all Encumbrances (except Permitted Encumbrances) and no Encumbrances (except permitted Encumbrances) have been granted by or caused by the actions of Premier. The Premier Leases are in full force and effect and are binding and enforceable against each of the parties thereto in accordance with their respective terms subject to (a) bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, fraudulent conveyance, moratorium and other laws of general application affecting the rights and remedies of creditors and (b) general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).

Resolution of any disputes shall be in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.8.4.

 

6.13.2 Indefeasability of Earn-Out Payments. The obligation of Parent, Federal and Acquisition Sub under Section 2.4.4 hereof to make any ear-out payment upon reaching the targets provided therein shall not be affected by the death or disability of Bajwa, or the termination of any continuing relationship between Bajwa and Premier, Acquisition Sub, Federal and/or Parent for any reason. In the event that Parent, Federal or Acquisition Sub sell the DCSINT contract or the CASCOM contract which are the subject of the earn-out in Section 2.4.4 in a transaction other than the purchase of all the outstanding stock of Parent or substantially all the assets of Parent, within two (2) years of the Closing Date, Parent shall pay Bajwa all outstanding payments remaining under the earn-out with respect to the applicable contract.
