SRA International, Inc.
 
We are a leading provider of information technology services and solutions to U.S. federal government organizations in three principal markets: national security, health care and public health, and civil government. Our largest market, national security, includes the Department of Defense, the intelligence agencies, and other federal organizations with homeland security missions. We offer a broad range of services that spans the information technology life-cycle: strategic consulting; systems design, development, and integration; and outsourcing and operations management. In addition, to address recurring client needs, we have developed four business solutions: text and data mining; contingency and disaster response planning; information assurance; and enterprise systems management.
 
We have provided information technology services and solutions to federal government clients for nearly 24 years and have longstanding relationships with many of them. We have served clients within the Departments of the Army, Navy, and Air Force, the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the Office of the Secretary of Defense, the Department of the Treasury, and the Federal Emergency Management Agency for over 20 years. We currently serve over 300 government clients on over 600 active engagements, including clients in 11 of the 14 departments of the executive branch, all branches of the military services, the White House, and the judicial and legislative branches of the federal government. Our business is diversified, with no single engagement accounting for more than 5% of our revenues during fiscal 2001 or the six months ended December 31, 2001. For each of the last three fiscal years and the six months ended December 31, 2001, we have been the prime contractor on engagements representing over 94% of our total revenues.
 
We have increased revenues and been profitable every year since our inception in 1978. From fiscal 1996 to fiscal 2001, we increased our revenues at a compound annual growth rate of 14.7%. Our revenues for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2001 and for the six months ended December 31, 2001 were $312.5 million and $160.6 million, respectively. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2001, national security clients accounted for approximately 43% of our revenues; health care and public health clients accounted for approximately 29%; civil government clients accounted for approximately 21%; and commercial clients accounted for approximately 7%. As of December 31, 2001, our backlog was $970.5 million. In January 2002, we acquired The Marasco Newton Group Ltd., our first government services acquisition.
 
We believe our success is grounded on the core values that we have stressed since our inception: an ethic of honesty and service; quality work and customer satisfaction; and caring about our people. We strive to uphold these values in every action we take and regularly reinforce them in our recruiting process, training programs, proposals, company meetings, and internal communications. We have been chosen by Fortune magazine as one of the “100 Best Companies to Work For in America” for each of 2000, 2001, and 2002, which we believe reflects the pride our employees take in the culture fostered by our core values. We are committed to maintaining these values as a cornerstone of our business.
 
Market Opportunity
 
The federal government is the largest consumer of information technology services and solutions in the United States. According to INPUT, an independent federal government market research firm, the federal information technology market is expected to grow at an annual rate of 10.6% from $36.4 billion in federal fiscal

Table of Contents
year 2001 to $60.3 billion in federal fiscal year 2006. We believe that this growth will be driven by planned increases in national defense and homeland security programs, increased reliance on information technology outsourcing, increased federal public health spending, and demand for greater government efficiency and effectiveness. We believe that for information technology providers to win contract awards from the federal government they must possess strong and stable management, highly skilled personnel, demonstrated technological expertise, a deep knowledge of the government’s business processes, a strong record of past performance, and key positioning on many of the increasingly popular multiple-award contract vehicles, including General Services Administration, or GSA, schedule contracts, government-wide acquisitions contracts, or GWACs, and other indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity contracts.
 
Our Approach
 
We are a high-end information technology services and solutions provider focused on delivering results that create tangible value for our clients. We employ interdisciplinary teams to staff each of our engagements, which enables us to deliver services and solutions that combine comprehensive knowledge of our clients’ business processes with the necessary technical expertise. We attribute our success to five core strengths:
 
 
 
Strong, stable management and highly skilled personnel.    Our executive team includes the core group of senior executives that has built the company over the past two decades. Our 43 officers have an average tenure with our company of approximately 14 years. Our corporate culture fosters teamwork and excellence and has contributed to our being named in 2002 by Fortune magazine as one of the “100 Best Companies to Work For in America” for the third consecutive year. This has helped us recruit and retain highly skilled personnel. Our professional staff is highly educated, with approximately one-third holding advanced degrees. As of January 31, 2002, we had over 2,100 employees, approximately 50% of whom have federal government security clearances.
 
 
 
Knowledge of government clients’ business processes.    We have served many of our clients for over 20 years. As a result of these longstanding relationships, we have developed a deep knowledge of our clients’ business processes, which enables us to design solutions that address their strategic goals and integrate with their existing systems. We have also recruited strategic hires with significant government or technical experience who have added to our knowledge of our clients’ business processes and who have extended our expertise into new areas.
 
 
 
Technical expertise.    We invest in research and development in areas such as text mining, data mining, information assurance, and other emerging technologies in order to offer clients the most advanced technological solutions. Our consulting and systems integration business has received a capability maturity model, or CMM, level 3 rating under the standards established by the Software Engineering Institute. This rating reflects that we have mature, repeatable processes that we believe help to reduce risk, improve technical delivery, contain costs, and meet demanding schedules.
 
 
 
Proven record of past performance.    We have provided information technology services and solutions to the federal government for nearly 24 years and we are frequently recognized as a top performer by both client evaluations and industry publications. For competitively awarded engagements on which we were the incumbent we have a renewal rate of at least 95% for each of the last three fiscal years and the six months ended December 31, 2001.
 
 
 
Key positioning as a prime contractor.    We are currently a prime contractor on four of the federal government’s five largest information technology services GWACs. We hold two GSA schedule contracts and we are a prime contractor on more than 12 agency-specific indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity contracts. This broad contract portfolio gives us extensive reach as a preferred provider and enables us to deliver the full range of our services and solutions to any organization in the federal government. Serving as a prime contractor positions us to achieve better client relationships, more control and influence, clearer visibility into future opportunities, and enhanced profit margins.

Growth Strategy
 
Our objective is to continue to profitably grow our business as a leading provider of information technology services and solutions to a wide variety of federal governmental organizations. Our growth strategy includes the following:
 
 
 
Leverage our longstanding client relationships to cross-sell our full range of services. We are adept at penetrating, cross-selling to, and building out existing client accounts through our successful performance and comprehensive knowledge of their business processes, which has led to many long-term contract relationships.
 
 
 
Increase our client base. We intend to leverage our experience and broad contract portfolio to expand our client base in other high-growth areas of the federal information technology services market to include organizations in the federal government for which we have not historically worked.
 
 
 
Focus our applied research and development investments to enhance our core business. We intend to continue to invest in applied research and development initiatives to enhance the competitive position of our core business.
 
 
 
Pursue strategic acquisitions. To complement our internal growth, we may pursue strategic acquisitions that can cost-effectively add new clients, specific agency knowledge, or technological expertise to accelerate our access to existing or new markets.

Summary Historical and Pro Forma Financial Data
 
The following summarizes our historical and pro forma consolidated financial information. We derived the historical financial information for each of the five fiscal years ended June 30, 2001 from our audited consolidated financial statements.

We have presented statement of operations data for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2001 on a pro forma basis, giving effect to three transactions that occurred during fiscal 2001:
 
 
 
the formation of Mantas, Inc. as a separate company in May 2001,
 
 
 
the closure of our legal systems integration segment as of December 31, 2000, and
 
 
 
the sale of our minority interest in Mail2000, Inc. in February 2001.

on an actual basis;
 
 
 
on a pro forma basis to reflect our payment in February 2002 of approximately $22.3 million of deferred federal and state income taxes plus accrued interest and our use of $3.0 million of cash on hand and borrowings of $19.3 million under our credit facility to fund the tax payments, which is discussed in more detail under “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Commitments and Contingencies—Internal Revenue Service Audit Resolution;” and
 
 
 
on a pro forma as adjusted basis to adjust the pro forma balances to reflect the sale of              shares of class A common stock by us in this offering at an assumed initial public offering price of $             per share, the mid-point of the range set forth on the cover of this prospectus, our receipt of the estimated net proceeds of that sale, after deducting estimated underwriting discounts and estimated offering expenses, and our use of a portion of the net proceeds to repay outstanding borrowings under our credit facility.

You should carefully consider the risks described below before making an investment decision. Investing in our class A common stock involves a high degree of risk. Any of the following factors could harm our business and future results of operations and could result in a partial or complete loss of your investment.
 
Risks Related to Our Business
 
We depend on contracts with U.S. federal government agencies, particularly clients within the Department of Defense, for substantially all of our revenues, and if our relationships with these agencies were harmed, our business would be threatened.
 
Contracts funded by U.S. federal government agencies accounted for 85%, 88%, 93%, and 95% of our revenues for fiscal 1999, 2000, and 2001, and the six months ended December 31, 2001, respectively. Contracts funded by clients within the Department of Defense accounted for 41%, 43%, 47%, and 53% of our revenues for the same periods. We believe that federal government contracts will continue to be the source of substantially all of our revenues for the foreseeable future. For this reason, any issue that compromises our relationship with agencies of the federal government in general, or within the Department of Defense in particular, would cause serious harm to our business. Among the key factors in maintaining our relationships with federal government agencies and departments are our performance on individual contracts and delivery orders, the strength of our professional reputation, and the relationships of our key executives with client personnel. To the extent that our performance does not meet client expectations, or our reputation or relationships with one or more key clients are impaired, our revenues and operating results could be materially harmed.
 
Loss of our GSA schedule contracts or our position as a prime contractor on one or more of our GWACs or our other multiple-award contracts would impair our ability to win new business.
 
We believe that one of the key elements of our success is our position as the holder of two GSA schedule contracts, and as a prime contractor under four GWACs and more than 12 indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity contracts. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2001, revenue from GSA schedule contracts, GWACs, and other indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity contracts accounted for approximately 87% of our revenues from federal government clients. As these types of contracts have increased in importance in the last several years, we believe our position as a prime contractor on these contracts has become increasingly important to our ability to sell our services to federal government clients. If we were to lose our position on one or more of these contracts, we could lose revenues and our operating results could suffer.
 
GSA schedule contracts, GWACs, and other indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity contracts typically have a one- or two-year initial term with multiple options that are exercisable by our government clients to extend the contract for one or more years. For example, the initial term under our indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity contract with the Internal Revenue Service is scheduled to expire in May 2002. Although there are options to extend this contract for a number of years, we cannot assure you that our client will exercise these options.
 
We may not receive the full amount of our backlog, which could harm our business.
 
Our backlog was $970.5 million as of December 31, 2001, of which $160.9 million was funded. We expect to recognize revenue from approximately 13% of our total backlog during the second half of fiscal 2002. We define backlog to include both funded and unfunded orders for services under existing signed contracts, assuming the exercise of all options relating to those contracts that have been priced. Congress often appropriates funds for our clients on a yearly basis, even though their contract with us may call for performance that is expected to take a number of years. As a result, contracts typically are only partially funded at any point during their term, and all or some of the work to be performed under the contracts may remain unfunded unless and until Congress makes

subsequent appropriations and the procuring agency allocates funding to the contract. We define funded backlog to be the portion of backlog for which funding currently is appropriated and obligated to us under a contract or other authorization for payment signed by an authorized purchasing authority, less the amount of revenue we have previously recognized under the contract. We define unfunded backlog as the total value of signed contracts, less funding to date. Unfunded backlog includes all contract options that have been priced but not yet funded. Our estimate of the portion of the backlog as of December 31, 2001 from which we expect to recognize revenues in fiscal 2002 is likely to be inaccurate because the receipt and timing of any of these revenues is subject to various contingencies, many of which are beyond our control. In addition, we may never realize revenues from some of the engagements that are included in our backlog, and there is a higher degree of risk in this regard with respect to unfunded backlog. The actual accrual of revenues on engagements included in backlog may never occur or may change because a program schedule could change or the program could be canceled, or a contract could be reduced, modified, or terminated early. If we fail to realize revenues from engagements included in our backlog as of December 31, 2001, our revenues and operating results for our 2002 fiscal year as well as future reporting periods may be materially harmed.
 
The loss of a key executive could impair our relationships with government clients and disrupt the management of our business.
 
We believe that our success depends on the continued contributions of the members of our senior management. We rely on our executive officers and senior management to generate business and execute programs successfully. In addition, the relationships and reputation that many members of our senior management team have established and maintain with government personnel contribute to our ability to maintain good client relations and to identify new business opportunities. We do not have any employment agreements providing for a specific term of employment with any member of our senior management. The loss of any member of our senior management could impair our ability to identify and secure new contracts, to maintain good client relations, and otherwise to manage our business.
 
If we fail to attract and retain skilled employees, we might not be able to sustain our profit margins and revenue growth.
 
We must continue to hire significant numbers of highly qualified individuals who have advanced information technology and technical services skills and who work well with our clients in a government or defense-related environment. These employees are in great demand and are likely to remain a limited resource in the foreseeable future. If we are unable to recruit and retain a sufficient number of these employees, our ability to maintain and grow our business could be limited. If we encounter a tight labor market, as we did in the first half of fiscal 2001, we could be required to engage larger numbers of subcontractor personnel, which could cause our profit margins to suffer. In addition, some of our contracts contain provisions requiring us to commit to staff an engagement with personnel the client considers key to our successful performance under the contract. In the event we are unable to provide these key personnel or acceptable substitutions, the client may terminate the contract, and we may not be able to recover our costs.
 
If subcontractors on our prime contracts are able to secure positions as prime contractors, we may lose revenues.
 
For each of the past several years, as the GSA schedule contracts and GWACs have increasingly been used as contract vehicles, we have received substantial revenues from government clients relating to work performed by other information technology providers acting as subcontractors to us. In some cases, companies that have not held GSA schedule contracts or secured positions as prime contractors on GWACs have approached us in our capacity as a prime contractor, seeking to perform services as our subcontractor for a government client. Some of these providers that are currently acting as subcontractors to us may in the future secure positions as prime contractors upon renewal of the GSA schedule or a GWAC contract. If one or more of our current subcontractors are awarded prime contractor status in the future, it could reduce or eliminate our revenues for the work they were performing as subcontractors to us.

We may not be successful in identifying acquisition candidates; and if we undertake acquisitions, they could be expensive, increase our costs or liabilities, and disrupt our business.
 
One of our strategies is to pursue growth through acquisitions. While we do not currently have any commitments, agreements, or understandings to acquire any specific businesses or other material operations, we may consider acquisitions in the future. We have very limited acquisition experience to date. We may not be able to identify suitable acquisition candidates at prices that we consider appropriate or to finance acquisitions on terms that are satisfactory to us. If we do identify an appropriate acquisition candidate, we may not be able to successfully negotiate the terms of the acquisition, finance the acquisition or, if the acquisition occurs, integrate the acquired business into our existing business. Negotiations of potential acquisitions and the integration of acquired business operations could disrupt our business by diverting management attention away from day-to-day operations. Acquisitions of businesses or other material operations may require additional debt or equity financing, resulting in additional leverage or dilution of ownership. The difficulties of integration may be increased by the necessity of coordinating geographically dispersed organizations, integrating personnel with disparate business backgrounds and combining different corporate cultures. We also may not realize cost efficiencies or synergies that we anticipated when selecting our acquisition candidates. In addition, we may need to record write downs from future impairments of identified intangible assets and goodwill, which could reduce our future reported earnings. At times, acquisition candidates may have liabilities or adverse operating issues that we fail to discover through due diligence prior to the acquisition. Any costs, liabilities, or disruptions associated with any future acquisitions we may pursue could harm our operating results.
 
If we are unable to integrate The Marasco Newton Group Ltd. into our business successfully or to achieve the expected benefits of the acquisition, our revenues and operating results may be impaired.
 
In January 2002, we acquired The Marasco Newton Group Ltd. for its expertise in the environmental market, as well as for the opportunity to offer our services to the existing clients of Marasco Newton to increase our revenues. We have only recently begun our efforts to integrate the business and operations of Marasco Newton with our company, and these efforts may divert some of our management and financial resources away from our core business objectives. If we are unable to successfully integrate Marasco Newton, our revenues and operating results could suffer. In addition, we may not be successful in achieving the anticipated synergies from the acquisition, including expanding the current services provided to Marasco Newton’s existing clients.
 
We face intense competition from many competitors that have greater resources than we do, which could result in price reductions, reduced profitability, and loss of market share.
 
We operate in highly competitive markets and generally encounter intense competition to win contracts. If we are unable to successfully compete for new business, our revenue growth and operating margins may decline. Many of our competitors are larger and have greater financial, technical, marketing, and public relations resources, larger client bases, and greater brand or name recognition than we do. Such larger competitors include federal systems integrators such as Computer Sciences Corporation and Science Applications International Corporation, divisions of large defense contractors such as Lockheed Martin Corporation and Northrop Grumman Corporation, and consulting firms such as Accenture Ltd and KPMG Consulting, Inc. Our larger competitors may be able to compete more effectively for very large-scale government contracts. Our larger competitors also may be able to provide clients with different or greater capabilities or benefits than we can provide in areas such as technical qualifications, past performance on large-scale contracts, geographic presence, price, and the availability of key professional personnel. Our competitors also have established or may establish relationships among themselves or with third parties, including mergers and acquisitions, to increase their ability to address client needs. Accordingly, it is possible that new competitors or alliances among competitors may emerge.

We derive significant revenues from contracts awarded through a competitive bidding process, which can impose substantial costs upon us, and we will lose revenues if we fail to compete effectively.
 
We derive significant revenues from federal government contracts that are awarded through a competitive bidding process. We expect that most of the government business we seek in the foreseeable future will be awarded through competitive bidding. Competitive bidding imposes substantial costs and presents a number of risks, including:
 
 
 
the need to bid on engagements in advance of the completion of their design, which may result in unforeseen difficulties in executing the engagement and cost overruns;
 
 
 
the substantial cost and managerial time and effort that we spend to prepare bids and proposals for contracts that may not be awarded to us;
 
 
 
the need to accurately estimate the resources and cost structure that will be required to service any contract we are awarded; and
 
 
 
the expense and delay that may arise if our competitors protest or challenge contract awards made to us pursuant to competitive bidding, and the risk that any such protest or challenge could result in the resubmission of bids on modified specifications, or in termination, reduction, or modification of the awarded contract.
 
To the extent we engage in competitive bidding and are unable to win particular contracts, we not only incur substantial costs in the bidding process that would negatively affect our operating results, but we may be precluded from operating in the market for services that are provided under those contracts for a number of years. Even if we win a particular contract through competitive bidding, our profit margins may be depressed as a result of the costs incurred through the bidding process.
 
We may lose money on some contracts if we miscalculate the resources we need to perform under the contract.
 
We provide services to the federal government under three types of contracts: cost-plus, time-and-materials, and fixed-price. For fiscal 2001, we derived 62%, 23%, and 15% of our total revenues from cost-plus, time-and-materials, and fixed-price contracts, respectively. For fiscal 2000, the corresponding percentages were 54%, 29%, and 17%, respectively. Each of these types of contracts, to differing degrees, involves the risk that we could underestimate our cost of fulfilling the contract, which may reduce the profit we earn or lead to a financial loss on the contract.
 
 
 
Under cost-plus contracts, which are subject to a ceiling amount, we are reimbursed for allowable costs and paid a fee, which may be fixed or performance-based. However, if our costs exceed the ceiling or are not allowable under the terms of the contract or applicable regulations, we may not be able to recover those costs.
 
 
 
Under time-and-materials contracts, we are reimbursed for labor at negotiated hourly billing rates and for certain expenses, and we assume the risk that our costs of performance may exceed the negotiated hourly rates.
 
 
 
Under fixed-price contracts, we perform specific tasks for a fixed price. Compared to cost-plus contracts and time-and-materials contracts, fixed-price contracts involve greater financial risk because we bear the impact of cost overruns.
 
For all three contract types, we bear varying degrees of risk associated with the assumptions we use to formulate our pricing for the work. To the extent our working assumptions prove inaccurate, we may lose money on the contract, which would adversely affect our operating results.

10


Table of Contents
 
Our margins and operating results may suffer if cost-plus contracts increase in proportion to our total contract mix.
 
In general, cost-plus contracts are the least profitable of our contract types. Our government clients typically determine what type of contract that we enter into. Cost-plus contracts accounted for 54%, 62%, and 57% of our revenues for fiscal 2000, fiscal 2001, and the six months ended December 31, 2001, respectively. To the extent that we enter into more cost-plus contracts in proportion to our total contract mix, our margins and operating results may suffer.
 
If our subcontractors fail to perform their contractual obligations, our performance and reputation as a prime contractor and our ability to obtain future business could suffer.
 
As a prime contractor, we often rely significantly upon other companies as subcontractors to perform work we are obligated to deliver to our clients. A failure by one or more of our subcontractors to satisfactorily perform the agreed-upon services on a timely basis may compromise our ability to perform our obligations as a prime contractor. In some cases, we have limited involvement in the work performed by the subcontractor and may have exposure to problems incurred by the subcontractor. In extreme cases, performance deficiencies on the part of our subcontractors could result in a government client terminating our contract for default. A default termination could expose us to liability for the agency’s costs of reprocurement, damage our reputation, and hurt our ability to compete for future contracts.
 
Unfavorable government audit results could force us to adjust previously reported operating results and could subject us to a variety of penalties and sanctions.
 
The federal government audits and reviews our performance on contracts, pricing practices, cost structure, and compliance with applicable laws, regulations, and standards. Like most large government contractors, our contracts are audited and reviewed on a continual basis by federal agencies, including the Defense Contract Audit Agency. An audit of our work, including an audit of work performed by companies we have acquired or may acquire or subcontractors we have hired or may hire, could result in a substantial adjustment to our previously reported operating results. For example, any costs which were originally reimbursed could subsequently be disallowed. In this case, cash we have already collected may need to be refunded and operating margins may be reduced.
 
If a government audit uncovers improper or illegal activities, we may be subject to civil and criminal penalties and administrative sanctions, including termination of contracts, forfeiture of profits, suspension of payments, fines, and suspension or debarment from doing business with U.S. federal government agencies. In addition, we could suffer serious harm to our reputation if allegations of impropriety were made against us, whether or not true. Although audits have been completed on our incurred contract costs through fiscal 1999, audits for costs incurred or work performed after fiscal 1999 have not yet commenced. In addition, non-audit reviews by the government may still be conducted on all our government contracts.
 
If we were suspended or debarred from contracting with the federal government generally, or any specific agency, 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 revenues and operating results would be materially harmed.
 
If we experience systems and service failure, our reputation could be harmed and our clients could assert claims against us for damages or refunds.
 
We create, implement, and maintain information technology solutions that are often critical to our clients’ operations, including those of both our government and our commercial clients. We have experienced and may in the future experience some systems and service failures, schedule or delivery delays, and other problems in connection with our work. If our solutions, services, products, or other applications have significant defects or errors, are subject to delivery delays, or fail to meet our clients’ expectations, we may:
 
 
 
lose revenues due to adverse client reaction;

11


Table of Contents
 
 
 
be required to provide additional services to a client at no charge;
 
 
 
receive negative publicity, which could damage our reputation and adversely affect our ability to attract or retain clients; or
 
 
 
suffer claims for substantial damages against us.
 
In addition to any costs resulting from product or service warranties, contract performance, or required corrective action, these failures may result in increased costs or loss of revenues if clients postpone subsequently scheduled work or cancel or fail to renew contracts.
 
While many of our contracts limit our liability for consequential damages that may arise from negligence in rendering services to our clients, we cannot assure you that these contractual provisions will be legally sufficient to protect us if we are sued. In addition, our errors and omissions and product liability insurance coverage may not continue to be available on reasonable terms or in sufficient amounts to cover one or more large claims, or the insurer may disclaim coverage as to some types of future claims. The successful assertion of any large claim against us could seriously harm our business. Even if not successful, these claims could result in significant legal and other costs, may be a distraction to our management and may harm our reputation.
 
Our failure to obtain and maintain necessary security clearances may limit our ability to perform classified work for government clients, which could cause us to lose business.
 
Some government contracts require us to maintain facility security clearances, and require some of our employees to maintain individual security clearances. If our employees lose or are unable to timely obtain security clearances, or we lose a facility clearance, the government client can terminate the contract or decide not to renew it upon its expiration. As a result, to the extent we cannot obtain the required security clearances for our employees working on a particular contract, or we fail to obtain them on a timely basis, we may not derive the revenue anticipated from the contract, which, if not replaced with revenue from other contracts, could harm our operating results.
 
Security breaches in sensitive government systems could result in loss of clients and negative publicity.
 
Many of the systems we develop, install and maintain involve managing and protecting information involved in intelligence, national security, and other sensitive or classified government functions. A security breach in one of these systems could cause serious harm to our business, damage our reputation, and prevent us from being eligible for further work on sensitive or classified systems for federal government clients. We could incur losses from such a security breach that could exceed the policy limits under our errors and omissions and product liability insurance. Damage to our reputation or limitations on our eligibility for additional work resulting from a security breach in one of our systems could materially reduce our revenues.
 
Our quarterly operating results may fluctuate significantly as a result of factors outside of our control, which could cause the market price of our class A common stock to decline.
 
We expect our revenues and operating results to vary significantly from quarter to quarter. In addition, we cannot predict our future revenue or results of operations. As a consequence, our operating results may fall below the expectations of securities analysts and investors, which could cause the price of our class A common stock to decline. Factors that may affect our operating results include:
 
 
 
fluctuations in revenues earned on contracts;
 
 
 
commencement, completion, or termination of contracts during any particular quarter;
 
 
 
variable purchasing patterns under GSA schedule contracts, GWACs, and other indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity contracts;
 
 
 
additions and departures of key personnel;
 
 
 
strategic decisions by us or our competitors, such as acquisitions, divestitures, spin-offs, joint ventures, strategic investments, or changes in business strategy;

12


Table of Contents
 
 
contract mix and the extent of use of subcontractors;
 
 
 
changes in presidential administrations and senior federal government officials that affect the timing of technology procurement; and
 
 
 
changes in policy or budgetary measures that adversely affect government contracts in general.
 
Reductions in revenue in a particular quarter could lead to lower profitability in that quarter because a relatively large amount of our expenses are fixed in the short-term. We may incur significant operating expenses during the start-up and early stages of large contracts and may not receive corresponding payments in that same quarter. We may also incur significant or unanticipated expenses when contracts expire or are terminated or are not renewed. In addition, payments due to us from government agencies may be delayed due to billing cycles or as a result of failures of governmental budgets to gain Congressional and administration approval in a timely manner.
 
We depend on our intellectual property and our failure to protect it could enable competitors to market products and services with similar features that may reduce demand for our products.
 
Our success depends in part upon the internally developed technology, proprietary processes, and other intellectual property that we utilize to provide our services and incorporate in our products. If we are unable to protect our intellectual property, our competitors could market services or products similar to our services and products, which could reduce demand for our offerings. We may be unable to prevent unauthorized parties from attempting to copy or otherwise obtain and use our technology. Typically, under federal government contracts, our government clients may claim rights in the intellectual property we develop, making it impossible for us to prevent their future use of our intellectual property. Policing unauthorized use of our technology is difficult, and we may not be able to prevent misappropriation of our technology, particularly in foreign countries where the laws may not protect our intellectual property as fully as those in the United States. Others, including our employees, may circumvent the trade secrets and other intellectual property that we own. Although we require our employees to execute non-disclosure and intellectual property assignment agreements, these agreements may not be legally or practically sufficient to protect our rights. Litigation may be necessary to enforce our intellectual property rights, to protect our trade secrets and to determine the validity and scope of the proprietary rights of others. Any litigation could result in substantial costs and diversion of resources, with no assurance of success.
 
We may be harmed by intellectual property infringement claims.
 
We may become subject to claims from our employees or third parties who assert that software and other forms of intellectual property that we use in delivering services and business solutions to our clients infringe upon intellectual property rights of such employees or third parties. Our employees develop much of the software and other forms of intellectual property that we use to provide our services and business solutions to our clients, but we also license technology from other vendors. If our vendors, our employees, or third parties assert claims that we or our clients are infringing on their intellectual property, we could incur substantial costs to defend those claims. In addition, if any of these infringement claims are ultimately successful, we could be required to:
 
 
 
cease selling or using products or services that incorporate the challenged software or technology;
 
 
 
obtain a license or additional licenses from our vendors or other third parties; or
 
 
 
redesign our products and services that rely on the challenged software or technology.
 
Our employees may engage in misconduct or other improper activities, which could harm our business.
 
We are exposed to the risk that employee fraud or other misconduct could occur. Misconduct by employees could include intentional failures to comply with federal government procurement regulations, engaging in unauthorized activities, or falsifying time records. Employee misconduct could also involve the improper use of our clients’ sensitive or classified information, which could result in regulatory sanctions against us and serious harm to our reputation. It is not always possible to deter employee misconduct, and the precautions we take to

prevent and detect this activity may not be effective in controlling unknown or unmanaged risks or losses, which could harm our business.
 
Risks Related to Our Industry
 
A reduction in the U.S. defense budget could result in a substantial decrease in our revenues.
 
Contracts funded by clients within the Department of Defense accounted for 41%, 43%, and 47% of our total revenues for fiscal 1999, 2000 and 2001, respectively, and 53% of our total revenues for the six months ended December 31, 2001. A decline in overall U.S. military expenditures could cause a decrease in our revenues and profitability. The reduction in the U.S. defense budget during the early 1990s caused some defense-related government contractors to experience decreased sales, reduced operating margins and, in some cases, net losses. Current government spending levels may not be sustainable, and future levels of expenditures and authorizations for existing programs may decline, remain constant, or shift to agencies or programs in areas where we do not currently have contracts. A significant decline in government expenditures, or a shift in expenditures away from agencies or programs that we support, could cause a material decline in our revenues.
 
Changes in the spending policies or budget priorities of the federal government could cause us to lose revenues.
 
We derived 85%, 88%, and 93% of our total revenues for fiscal 1999, 2000, and 2001, respectively, and 95% of our total revenues for the six months ended December 31, 2001, from contracts funded by federal government agencies and departments. We believe that contracts with federal government agencies and departments will continue to be the primary source of our revenues for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, changes in federal government fiscal or spending policies could directly affect our financial performance. Among the factors that could harm our federal government contracting business are:
 
 
 
curtailment of the federal government’s use of technology services firms;
 
 
 
a significant decline in spending by the federal government, in general, or by specific departments or agencies in particular;
 
 
 
reductions in federal government programs or requirements;
 
 
 
the adoption of new laws or regulations that affect companies that provide services to the federal government;
 
 
 
delays in the payment of our invoices by government payment offices;
 
 
 
federal governmental shutdowns, such as the shutdown that occurred during the government’s 1996 fiscal year, and other potential delays in the government appropriations process; and
 
 
 
general economic and political conditions.
 
These or other factors could cause federal government agencies and departments to reduce their purchases under contracts, to exercise their right to terminate contracts, or not to exercise options to renew contracts, any of which could cause us to lose revenues. We have substantial contracts in place with many federal departments and agencies, and our continued performance under these contracts, or award of additional contracts from these agencies, could be materially harmed by federal government spending reductions or budget cutbacks at these departments or agencies.
 
Federal government contracts contain provisions giving government clients a variety of rights that are unfavorable to us, including the ability to terminate a contract at any time for convenience.
 
Federal government contracts contain provisions and are subject to laws and regulations that provide government clients with rights and remedies not typically found in commercial contracts. These rights and remedies allow government clients, among other things, to:
 
 
 
terminate existing contracts, with short notice, for convenience, as well as for default;

14


Table of Contents
 
 
 
reduce or modify contracts or subcontracts;
 
 
 
terminate our facility security clearances and thereby prevent us from receiving classified contracts;
 
 
 
cancel multi-year contracts and related orders if funds for contract performance for any subsequent year become unavailable;
 
 
 
decline to exercise an option to renew a multi-year contract;
 
 
 
claim rights in products, systems, and technology produced by us;
 
 
 
prohibit future procurement awards with a particular agency due to a finding of organizational conflict of interest based upon prior related work performed for the agency that would give a contractor an unfair advantage over competing contractors;
 
 
 
subject the award of GSA schedule contracts, GWACs, and other indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity contracts to protest by competitors, which may require the contracting federal agency or department to suspend our performance pending the outcome of the protest and may also result in a requirement to resubmit bids for the contract or in the termination, reduction, or modification of the awarded contract; and
 
 
 
suspend or debar us from doing business with the federal government or with a particular governmental agency.
 
If a government client terminates one of our contracts for convenience, we may recover only our incurred or committed costs, settlement expenses, and profit on work completed prior to the termination. If a federal government client were to unexpectedly terminate, cancel, or decline to exercise an option to renew with respect to one or more of our significant contracts or suspend or debar us from doing business with government agencies, our revenues and operating results would be materially harmed.
 
The adoption of new procurement laws or regulations could reduce the amount of services that are outsourced by the federal government and could cause us to lose revenues.
 
New legislation, procurement regulations, or union pressure could cause federal agencies to adopt restrictive procurement practices regarding the use of outside information technology providers. For example, the American Federation of Government Employees, the largest federal employee union, strongly endorses bills that are currently before Congress that may restrict the procedure by which services are outsourced to government contractors. This proposed legislation, the Truthfulness, Responsibility, and Accountability in Contracting Act, or TRAC, would effectively reduce the volume of services that are outsourced by the federal government. TRAC would provide for an internal review by an agency to determine the estimated cost for government employees to perform a task that is proposed for outsourcing. If the internal review shows that services could be delivered for a lower cost by government employees than the lowest bid offered through the price competition held in connection with the procurement process, the task may not be outsourced. If the TRAC legislation, or similar legislation, were to be enacted, it would likely reduce the amount of information technology services that could be outsourced by the federal government, which could materially reduce our revenues.
 
Our failure to comply with complex procurement laws and regulations could cause us to lose business and subject us to a variety of penalties.
 
We must comply with laws and regulations relating to the formation, administration, and performance of federal government contracts, which affect how we do business with our government clients and may impose added costs on our business. Among the most significant regulations are:
 
 
 
the Federal Acquisition Regulation, and agency regulations analogous or supplemental to the Federal Acquisition Regulation, which comprehensively regulate the formation, administration, and performance of government contracts;

15


Table of Contents
 
 
 
the Truth in Negotiations Act, which requires certification and disclosure of all cost and pricing data in connection with some contract negotiations;
 
 
 
the Cost Accounting Standards, which impose accounting requirements that govern our right to reimbursement under some cost-based government contracts; and
 
 
 
laws, regulations, and executive orders restricting the use and dissemination of information classified for national security purposes and the exportation of specified products and technical data.
 
If a government review or investigation uncovers improper or illegal activities, we may be subject to civil and criminal penalties and administrative sanctions, including termination of contracts, forfeiture of profits, suspension of payments, fines, and suspension or debarment from doing business with federal government agencies. The government may in the future reform its procurement practices or adopt new contracting rules and regulations, including cost accounting standards, that could be costly to satisfy or that could impair our ability to obtain new contracts. Any failure to comply with applicable laws and regulations could result in contract termination, price or fee reductions, or suspension or debarment from contracting with the federal government, each of which could lead to a material reduction in our revenues.
 
Risks Related to this Offering
 
There is no prior public market for our class A common stock, and our stock price could be volatile and could decline following this offering, resulting in a substantial loss on your investment.

In the past, securities class action litigation has often been instituted against companies following periods of volatility in their stock price. This type of litigation could result in substantial costs and divert our management’s attention and resources.
 
Our chief executive officer, whose interests may not be aligned with yours, will continue to control our company following this offering, which could result in actions of which you or other stockholders do not approve.
 
Immediately following the closing of this offering, Ernst Volgenau, our chief executive officer, will beneficially own 743,840 shares of class A common stock and 13,144,060 shares of class B common stock, representing             % of the combined voting power of our outstanding common stock after completion of this offering. As a group, our executive officers and directors will beneficially own an aggregate of 5,136,050 shares of class A common stock and 17,301,610 shares of class B common stock, representing approximately             % of the combined voting power of our outstanding common stock. As a result, these individuals acting together, or Dr. Volgenau acting alone, will be able to control the outcome of all matters that our stockholders vote upon, including the election of directors, amendments to our certificate of incorporation, and mergers or other business combinations. This concentration of ownership may also have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control of our company and could prevent stockholders from receiving a premium over the market price if a change in control is proposed.
 
A substantial number of shares will be eligible for sale in the near future, which could cause our class A common stock price to decline significantly.
 
If our stockholders sell, or the market perceives that our stockholders intend to sell, substantial amounts of our class A common stock in the public market following this offering, the market price of our class A common stock could decline significantly. These sales also might make it more difficult for us to sell equity or equity-related securities in the future at a time and price that we deem appropriate. Upon completion of this offering, we will have outstanding              shares of class A common stock, assuming no exercise of outstanding options. Of these shares, the              shares sold in this offering will be freely tradable,              additional shares of common stock will be available for sale in the public market 180 days after the date of this prospectus following the expiration of lock-up agreements between our stockholders and the underwriters, and              more shares will become available for sale in the public market on subsequent dates. Salomon Smith Barney, on behalf of the underwriters, may release these stockholders from their lock-up agreements with the underwriters at any time and without notice, which would allow for earlier sale of shares in the public market. As restrictions on resale end, the market price of our common stock could drop significantly if the holders of restricted shares sell them or are perceived by the market as intending to sell them.
 
Because our management will have broad discretion over the use of a substantial portion of the net proceeds from this offering, you may not agree with how we use them and the proceeds may not be invested successfully.
 
A substantial portion of the net proceeds from this offering has not been allocated for a particular purpose, and our management will have broad discretion as to the use of such offering proceeds. While we currently anticipate that we will use the unallocated portion of the net proceeds of this offering for general corporate purposes, including working capital and capital expenditures related to the expansion of our operations, our management may allocate the net proceeds among these purposes as it determines is necessary. In addition, market or other factors may require our management to allocate portions of the net proceeds for other purposes. Accordingly, you will be relying on the judgment of our management with regard to the use of a portion of the net proceeds from this offering, and you will not have the opportunity, as part of your investment decision, to assess whether the proceeds are being used appropriately. It is possible that the proceeds will be invested in a way that does not yield a favorable, or any, return for our company.

If you invest in this offering, you will experience immediate and substantial dilution.
 
We expect that the initial public offering price of our class A common stock will be substantially higher than the net tangible book value per share of the outstanding common stock. As a result, investors purchasing class A common stock in this offering will incur immediate and substantial dilution of $             per share in the net tangible book value of the class A common stock. This means that the investors who purchase shares:
 
 
 
will pay a price per share that substantially exceeds the per share value of our assets after subtracting our liabilities; and
 
 
 
will have contributed             % of the total amount of our equity funding since inception but will only own             % of the shares outstanding.
 
In addition, we have offered, and expect to continue to offer, a significant number of stock options to our employees. Options issued in the past have had per share exercise prices substantially below the initial public offering price per share. As of December 31, 2001, there were 9,782,768 shares of class A common stock issuable upon exercise of outstanding stock options. To the extent these outstanding options are ultimately exercised, there will be further dilution to investors in this offering.
 
Provisions of our charter documents and Delaware law may inhibit potential acquisition bids that you and other stockholders may consider favorable, and the market price of our class A common stock may be lower as a result.
 
There are provisions in our certificate of incorporation and by-laws that make it more difficult for a third party to acquire, or attempt to acquire, control of our company, even if a change in control was considered favorable by you and other stockholders. For example, our board of directors has the authority to issue up to 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock. The board of directors can fix the price, rights, preferences, privileges, and restrictions of the preferred stock without any further vote or action by our stockholders. The issuance of shares of preferred stock may delay or prevent a change in control transaction. As a result, the market price of our class A common stock and the voting and other rights of our stockholders may be adversely affected. This issuance of shares of preferred stock may result in the loss of voting control to other stockholders.
 
Our charter documents contain other provisions that could have an anti-takeover effect, including:
 
 
 
the high-vote nature of our class B common stock;
 
 
 
only one of the three classes of directors is elected each year;
 
 
 
stockholders have limited ability to remove directors without cause;
 
 
 
stockholders cannot take actions by written consent;
 
 
 
stockholders cannot call a special meeting of stockholders; and
 
 
 
stockholders must give advance notice to nominate directors or submit proposals for consideration at stockholder meetings.
 
In addition, we are subject to the anti-takeover provisions of Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, which regulates corporate acquisitions. These provisions could discourage potential acquisition proposals and could delay or prevent a change in control transaction. They could also have the effect of discouraging others from making tender offers for our class A common stock. These provisions may also prevent changes in our management.

Table of Contents
 
 
Some of the statements under “Summary,” “Risk Factors,” “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” “Business,” and elsewhere in this prospectus constitute forward-looking statements. These statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors that may cause our actual results, level of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify these statements by forward-looking words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “potential,” “should,” “will,” and “would” or similar words. You should read statements that contain these words carefully because they discuss our future expectations, contain projections of our future results of operations or of our financial position or state other forward-looking information. We believe that it is important to communicate our future expectations to our investors. However, there may be events in the future that we are not able to predict or control accurately. The factors listed above in the section captioned “Risk Factors,” as well as any cautionary language in this prospectus, provide examples of risks, uncertainties, and events that may cause our actual results to differ materially from the expectations we describe in our forward-looking statements. Before you invest in our class A common stock, you should be aware that the occurrence of the events described in these risk factors and elsewhere in this prospectus could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial position.
 
Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance, or achievements. You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which apply only as of the date of this prospectus.

We estimate that the net proceeds from our sale of the            shares of class A common stock to be sold by us in this offering will be approximately $            million, assuming an initial public offering price of $            per share, the mid-point of the range set forth on the cover of this prospectus, and after deducting estimated underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us. We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of class A common stock by the selling stockholders.
 
We expect to use a portion of the net proceeds of this offering to repay borrowings under our credit facility, which we used to fund our February 28, 2002 payment of deferred federal and state income taxes plus accrued interest, as discussed in more detail under “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Commitments and Contingencies—Internal Revenue Service Audit Resolution.” We borrowed $19.3 million for this purpose, which, together with accumulated interest, would total approximately $19.4 million at the time of the expected closing of this offering. These borrowings bear interest at LIBOR plus 1.45%, resulting in a rate of approximately 3.3% as of March 1, 2002.
 
We will use the remainder of the net proceeds from this offering for general corporate purposes, including working capital and capital expenditures. We may also use a portion of the net proceeds to acquire businesses, products, or technologies that are complementary to our business, however we currently have no specific acquisitions planned. Pending their use, we plan to invest the net proceeds in short-term, investment grade, interest-bearing securities.
 
 
We have never declared or paid any cash dividends on our common stock. We currently intend to retain all future earnings, if any, for use in the operation and expansion of our business. As a result, we do not anticipate paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Any future determination as to the declaration and payment of cash dividends will be at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend on then-existing conditions, business prospects, and any other factors our board of directors deems relevant.

on a pro forma as adjusted basis to adjust the pro forma balances to reflect the sale of          shares of class A common stock by us in this offering at an assumed initial public offering price of $         per share, the mid-point of the range set forth on the cover of this prospectus, our receipt of the estimated net proceeds of that sale, after deducting estimated underwriting discounts and estimated offering expenses, and our use of a portion of the net proceeds to repay outstanding borrowings under our credit facility.

You should read this table along with “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and our financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this prospectus. This table gives effect to a planned increase after December 31, 2001 in the number of authorized shares of class A common stock and class B common stock, which will be effected in an amendment to our certificate of incorporation that will be filed prior to the closing of this offering.

The outstanding share information excludes:
 
 
 
9,782,768 shares of class A common stock issuable on exercise of outstanding options as of December 31, 2001, at a weighted average exercise price of $3.18 per share; and
 
 
 
3,461,106 shares of class A common stock reserved as of December 31, 2001 for future issuance under our stock option plans.
 
After December 31, 2001 and through January 31, 2002, we issued additional options exercisable to purchase up to 3,500 shares of class A common stock at a weighted average exercise price of $5.97 per share, options to purchase 162,985 shares of class A common stock were exercised, and options to purchase 7,500 shares of class A common stock were cancelled. In addition, after December 31, 2001, we reserved an additional 6,000,000 shares of class A common stock for issuance under our new 2002 stock incentive plan.

Our net tangible book value as of December 31, 2001 was approximately $39.4 million, or $1.72 per share of common stock. Net tangible book value per share is determined by dividing our total tangible assets less total liabilities by the number of shares of class A and class B common stock outstanding.
 
After giving effect to our sale of            shares of class A common stock in this offering at an assumed initial public offering price of $            per share and our receipt of the net proceeds from that sale, after deducting estimated underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us, our adjusted net tangible book value as of December 31, 2001 would have been $            million, or $            per share. This represents an immediate increase in net tangible book value of $            per share to existing stockholders and an immediate dilution of $            per share to new investors purchasing shares of class A common stock in this offering. The following table illustrates this per share dilution:

The following table summarizes, as of December 31, 2001, the difference between the number of outstanding shares of class A and class B common stock purchased by our existing stockholders and new investors, the total consideration paid to us for these shares, and the average price per share paid by our existing stockholders and to be paid by new investors in this offering. This calculation is based on an assumed initial public offering price of $            per share before deducting estimated underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us.

The sale of the              shares of class A common stock to be sold by the selling stockholders in this offering will reduce the number of shares held by existing stockholders to             , or              % of the total shares outstanding, and will increase the number of shares held by new investors to             , or             % of the total shares outstanding. If the underwriters exercise their over-allotment option in full, the percentage of shares held by existing stockholders will further decrease to             , or             % of the total shares outstanding, and the number of shares held by new investors will further increase to             , or             % of the total shares outstanding.
 
The table does not give effect to the exercise of any stock options outstanding at December 31, 2001. As of December 31, 2001, there were options outstanding to purchase 9,782,768 shares of common stock at a weighted average exercise price of $3.18 per share. To the extent any of these options are exercised, there will be further dilution to new investors.

The pro forma statement of operations data for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2001 presented below gives effect to three transactions that occurred during fiscal 2001: the formation of Mantas, Inc. as a separate company in May 2001, the closure of our legal systems integration segment as of December 31, 2000, and the sale of our minority interest in Mail2000, Inc. in February 2001. For more information regarding each of these transactions, you should read “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and our financial statements and the related notes included in this prospectus.
 
We have prepared the pro forma statement of operations for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2001 to give effect to each of the transactions described above as if it had occurred on July 1, 2000. Since each of these transactions was completed during fiscal 2001, the impact of each is fully reflected in our historical results of operations for the six months ended December 31, 2001. As a result, no pro forma financial information is presented as of or for the six months ended December 31, 2001.
 
You should read this pro forma financial information in conjunction with our financial statements and the related notes included in this prospectus. The pro forma financial information is presented for informational purposes only and may not reflect our future results of operations or what our results of operations would have been had these transactions not occurred. The pro forma information presented below does not give effect to our borrowing under our credit facility to pay deferred federal and state income taxes in February 2002. For more information regarding this change and its impact on our financial condition, you should read “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Commitments and Contingencies—Internal Revenue Service Audit Resolution.”

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
You should read the following discussion and analysis in conjunction with our financial statements and the related notes and our unaudited pro forma financial information included elsewhere in this prospectus. This discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties, and assumptions. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including, but not limited to, those set forth under “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this prospectus.
 
Overview
 
We are a leading provider of information technology services and solutions to federal government clients in three principal markets: national security, health care and public health, and civil government. Since our founding in 1978, we have undertaken approximately 5,500 contract engagements and have derived substantially all of our revenues from services provided to federal government clients. We expect that federal government clients will continue to account for substantially all of our revenues for the foreseeable future. During each of our last three fiscal years and the six months ended December 31, 2001, we recognized more than 94% of our total revenues from contract engagements in which we acted as a prime contractor. Our contract base is well diversified among federal government clients, and we currently serve over 300 government clients on more than 600 active engagements. No single engagement accounted for more than 5% of our revenues during fiscal 2001 or the six months ended December 31, 2001. The Internal Revenue Service, our largest client group, accounted for approximately 11% of our revenues for the six months ended December 31, 2001. No other client or client group accounted for more than 10% of our revenues in fiscal 1999, 2000, or 2001 or the six months ended December 31, 2001.
 
Our backlog as of December 31, 2001 was $970.5 million, of which $160.9 million was funded, compared with $596.4 million and $143.7 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2000. We define our backlog to include both funded and unfunded orders for services under existing signed contracts, assuming the exercise of all options relating to those contracts that have been priced. We currently expect to recognize revenue in the second half of fiscal 2002 from approximately 13% of our total backlog as of December 31, 2001.
 
We have had three operating segments for financial reporting purposes. Our three reportable segments include the consulting and systems integration business, or C&SI, the emerging technologies business, or ET, and the legal systems integration business, or LSI.
 
 
 
The C&SI segment represents our core business and includes high-end consulting services and information technology solutions primarily for federal government clients. The C&SI segment focuses on our three principal markets: national security, health care and public health, and civil government.
 
 
 
The ET segment performs advanced technology research and development to keep us abreast of technological change, and to develop new technologies that enhance our information technology services and solutions. The ET segment manages and maintains our software product offerings, including Assentor and NetOwl. The ET segment also managed our Mantas service offerings until May 24, 2001, when we contributed them to Mantas, Inc., a separate company.
 
 
 
The LSI segment consists of our legal systems integration business, which we closed as of December 31, 2000. The legal systems integration business provided network and desktop integration services for large law firms. Increasingly, these law firms retained their own internal staff to perform this work and the nature of our services to these clients became commoditized. As a result, there were fewer engagements of the scale and margin potential to justify maintaining this business. Because we closed the LSI segment as of December 31, 2000, our financial statements covering periods after that date do not reflect any results from the LSI segment and will not in the future.

We have historically invested in applied research and development to develop new technologies that enhance our information technology services and solutions. Some of these investments have supported the C&SI segment, while others were independent initiatives and were reflected in the ET segment. Although we have developed software products in the course of these efforts, service revenues have accounted for substantially all of our revenues. For each of the last three fiscal years and for the six months ended December 31, 2001, 98% or more of our revenues were derived from services and the remainder was derived from software product licensing and related support and maintenance.
 
Some of our research and development investments have led to the formation of separate companies, including Mail2000, Inc., which provides software-based services to expedite the delivery of large volumes of mail, and Mantas, Inc., which provides services to the financial services industry to address anti-money laundering and other efforts. In February 2001, we sold our minority interest in Mail2000, Inc., recognizing a pre-tax gain of $11.8 million, including the reversal of the $900,000 accrual for probable losses under funding commitments we made to Mail2000, Inc. In May 2001, Mantas, which was previously one of our service offerings, was contributed to a separate company, Mantas, Inc., which we formed with funding and other contributions received from Safeguard Scientifics and the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc., or the NASD. We have retained a non-controlling equity interest in Mantas, Inc. Although we believe it is important to continue to invest in technology to enhance our information technology services and solutions, we plan to reduce our spending in the ET segment in the future compared to our historical levels as we sharpen our focus on our core C&SI business.
 
To reflect the impact of the Mantas, Inc. formation transaction, the closing of our legal systems integration business, and the sale of our minority interest in Mail2000, Inc., we have presented our results of operations for fiscal 2001 on a pro forma basis. Each of these transactions was completed in fiscal 2001 and, accordingly, our results of operations for the six months ended December 31, 2001 are not affected by these transactions.
 
In the future, we intend to focus on increasing our internal growth, and we may pursue strategic acquisitions that can cost-effectively add new clients, specific agency knowledge or technological expertise. In January 2002, we made our first government services acquisition, acquiring The Marasco Newton Group Ltd. for its expertise in the federal government environmental market. We also expect that this acquisition will enable us to sell our complete range of services and solutions to Marasco Newton’s client base. Although we will consolidate its financial results following the acquisition, we have not included Marasco Newton’s historical results in our pro forma presentation because their actual results of operations were not significant to our consolidated results of operations.
 
Revenues
 
Most of our revenues are generated on the basis of services provided to the federal government, either by our employees or by our subcontractors. To a lesser degree, the revenue we earn may include third-party hardware and software that we purchase and integrate when requested by the client as a part of the solutions that we provide to our clients.

Contract Types.    When contracting with our government clients, we enter into one of three basic types of contracts: cost-plus, time-and-materials, and fixed-price.
 
 
 
Cost-plus contracts.    Cost-plus contracts provide for reimbursement of allowable costs and the payment of a fee. Cost-plus fixed-fee contracts specify the contract fee in dollars. Cost-plus award-fee contracts provide for a base fee amount, plus an award fee that varies, within specified limits, based upon the client’s assessment of our performance as compared to contractual targets for factors such as cost, quality, schedule, and performance. The majority of our cost-plus contracts are fixed-fee.
 
 
 
Time-and-materials contracts.    Under a time-and-materials contract, we are paid a fixed hourly rate for direct labor hours expended and we are reimbursed for allowable materials and out-of-pocket expenses. To the extent our actual labor hour costs vary significantly from the negotiated hourly rates under a time-and-materials contract, we can generate more or less than the targeted amount of profit.
 
 
 
Fixed-price contracts.    Under a fixed-price contract, we agree to perform the specified work for a predetermined price. To the extent our actual costs vary from the estimates upon which the price was negotiated, we can generate more or less than the targeted amount of profit or even incur a loss. Some fixed-price contracts have a performance-based component, in which we can earn incentive payments or incur financial penalties based on our performance. We generally do not undertake complex, high-risk work under fixed-price terms.
 
Our historical contract mix, measured as a percentage of total revenues for each period, is summarized in the table below. Software license revenues are included in the fixed-price item below.

Critical Accounting Policies Relating to Revenue Recognition.    Our critical accounting policies primarily relate to revenue recognition and related cost estimation. We recognize revenue as services are provided pursuant to our contracts depending on the type of contract. Revenues on cost-plus contracts are recognized to the extent of costs actually incurred plus a proportionate amount of the fee earned. We consider fixed fees under cost-plus contracts to be earned in proportion to the allowable costs actually incurred in performance of the contract. Revenues on time-and-materials contracts are recognized based on the hours actually incurred at the negotiated contract billing rates, plus the costs of any allowable materials and out-of-pocket expenses. Revenues on fixed-price contracts are recognized using the percentage-of-completion method of contract accounting. We compute the percentage completed based on the percentage of costs incurred to date in relation to total estimated costs expected upon completion of the contract. We consider performance-based fees under any contract type to be earned only when we can demonstrate satisfaction of a specific performance goal or we receive contractual notification from a client that the fee has been earned.
 
Contract revenue recognition inherently involves estimation. Examples of estimates include the contemplated level of effort to accomplish the tasks under contract, the cost of the effort, and an ongoing assessment of our progress toward completing the contract. We utilize a number of management processes to monitor contract performance and revenue estimates, including monthly in-process reviews that cover, among other matters, outstanding action items, progress against schedule, effort and staffing, requirements stability, quality, risks and issues, subcontract management, cost, and commitments. From time to time, as part of our normal management processes, facts develop that require us to revise our estimated total costs or revenues expected. In most cases, these revisions relate to changes in the contractual scope of our work, and do not significantly impact the expected profit rate on a contract. To the extent that a revised estimate affects contract profit or revenue previously recognized, we record the cumulative effect of the revision in the period in which

29


Table of Contents
the facts requiring revisions become known. The full amount of anticipated losses on any type of contract are recognized in the period in which they become known. Historically, we have not experienced losses on contracts that have materially affected our results of operations or financial position.
 
We also grant software licenses to clients for the use of our proprietary software products. These revenues are reflected in the ET segment. We generally recognize license revenues upon shipment and delivery of the product, assuming no significant vendor obligations remain and that collection of the resulting receivable is probable. We also derive revenue from the support and maintenance of these software products. Support and maintenance fees are usually paid in advance by clients and typically cover a 12-month period. Support and maintenance fees are deferred and recognized ratably over the term of the support and maintenance period. From time to time, we may also provide integration services related to our software licensing and maintenance activities. Revenue for these services is recognized as the services are provided.
 
Cost of Services
 
Cost of services includes the direct costs to provide our services and business solutions to clients. The most significant of these costs are the salaries and wages, plus associated fringe benefits, of our employees directly serving clients. Cost of services also includes the cost of subcontractors and outside consultants, third-party materials, such as hardware or software, that we purchase and provide to the client as part of an integrated solution, and any other direct costs such as travel expenses incurred to support contract efforts.
 
Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses
 
Selling, general, and administrative expenses include the salaries and wages, plus associated fringe benefits, of our employees not performing work directly for clients. Among the functions covered by these costs are asset and facilities management, business development, research and development, contracts and legal, finance and accounting, executive and senior management, human resources, and information system support. Facilities-related costs are also included in selling, general, and administrative expenses. The portion of selling, general, and administrative expenses that relate to corporate support functions are allocated to segments based on the ratio of segment labor expenses to total labor, exclusive of corporate selling, general, and administrative labor. The total amount of corporate selling, general, and administrative expenses that was allocated to segments was $36.5 million, $36.9 million, and $37.2 million for fiscal 1999, 2000, and 2001, respectively; and $18.9 million and $16.7 million for the six months ended December 31, 2000 and 2001, respectively.
 
Stock-Based Compensation and 401(k) Contribution Expense
 
The stock-based compensation and 401(k) contribution expenses described in the following two paragraphs are included in selling, general, and administrative expenses and cost of services in the results of operations discussed below.
 
Stock-based compensation expense reflects expenses related to stock option grants for which pre-existing grant terms were modified or for which grants were issued below fair market value. Stock-based compensation expenses are included in selling, general, and administrative expenses. Stock-based compensation expense in fiscal 1999 was $112,000. For the six months ended December 31, 2001, the total amount of stock-based compensation was $1.2 million, with $823,000 recognized as current expense and $415,000 as deferred compensation expense, which will be recognized ratably over the four-year vesting period of the related stock options.
 
In addition to granting our employees options to acquire our common stock, we contribute cash and common stock to our 401(k) plan to match a portion of employee contributions. Our contribution expense was approximately $1.6 million, $2.4 million, and $2.8 million for fiscal 1999, 2000, and 2001, respectively, and $1.2 million and $2.0 million for the six months ended December 31, 2000 and 2001, respectively. Our expense for the six months ended December 31, 2001 was approximately $509,000 higher than expected since the value per share of the shares we contributed to the 401(k) plan was higher on the contribution date than when we made the original per-share determination. Our 401(k) contribution expense is a component of the fringe benefit expense included in cost of services and selling, general, and administrative expenses.

Table of Contents
 
Depreciation and Amortization
 
Depreciation and amortization includes depreciation of computers and other equipment, the amortization of software we use internally, the amortization of leasehold improvements and the amortization of computer software developed for sale to clients. All depreciation and amortization expenses are allocated to segments based on the ratio of segment labor expenses to total labor, exclusive of corporate selling, general, and administrative labor.
 
Other Expense
 
The Internal Revenue Service challenged our use of the cash receipts and disbursements method of accounting for income taxes in 1998 while auditing our fiscal 1996 tax return. Other expense reflects our historical provision for interest due on income taxes as a result of our use of this method. Through December 31, 2001, we accrued $2.6 million as a reserve toward this contingency for what we then estimated to be our probable interest payments on this liability. In February 2002, we settled this matter with the Internal Revenue Service and will record other income in the quarter ending March 31, 2002 for the reversal of approximately $1.8 million, representing the amount by which the reserve exceeds our interest payments.
 
Gains and Losses on Equity Method Investments
 
We use the equity method of accounting for investments in which we do not have a controlling interest but exercise significant influence. Under the equity method, investments are carried at cost and then are adjusted to reflect our portion of increases and decreases in the net assets of the investee. Our investment in Mail2000, Inc. was accounted for under the equity method until it was sold in February 2001. Our investment in Mantas, Inc. has been accounted for under the equity method since its formation in May 2001. We are required to recognize our proportionate interest in Mantas, Inc.’s losses to the extent we have a cost basis in the investment on our balance sheet. We have no cost basis in Mantas, Inc. because we did not previously capitalize our internal investments in the Mantas service offerings. Accordingly, we have not recognized any portion of Mantas, Inc.’s losses through December 31, 2001. The gains we recognized upon the sale of our minority interest in Mail2000, Inc. and the formation of Mantas, Inc. are also included in gains and losses on equity method investments.

Six Months Ended December 31, 2001 Compared to Six Months Ended December 31, 2000
 
Revenues
 
For the six months ended December 31, 2001, total revenues increased 7.6% to $160.6 million, from $149.2 million for the same period in the prior year. The C&SI segment revenues increased 14.9% to $158.1 million for the six months ended December 31, 2001, from $137.6 million for the same period in the prior year. Revenue growth in this segment resulted from new contract wins, including contracts with the National Guard Bureau, the Defense Threat Reduction Agency, the Office of the Secretary of Defense, and several contracts related to homeland security, as well as the expansion of services to existing clients. The ET segment revenues decreased 69.7% to $2.4 million for the six months ended December 31, 2001, from $8.0 million for the same period in the prior year. The $8.0 million of revenues for the six months ended December 31, 2000 included $4.9 million of revenues attributable to Mantas service offerings. Following the formation of Mantas, Inc. as a separate company in May 2001, we have not consolidated its revenues or expenses. For the six months ended December 31, 2001, substantially all revenues of the ET segment related to licensing and maintenance of our proprietary software. The LSI segment revenues were $3.5 million for the six months ended December 31, 2000. We did not recognize any revenues for the six months ended December 31, 2001 because we closed the LSI segment as of December 31, 2000.
 
Cost of Services
 
For the six months ended December 31, 2001, total cost of services increased 10.8% to $116.1 million, from $104.8 million for the same period in the prior year. As a percentage of total revenues, total cost of services increased to 72.3% for the six months ended December 31, 2001, from 70.3% for the same period in the prior year. The C&SI segment cost of services increased 14.8% to $114.5 million for the six months ended December 31, 2001, from $99.7 million for the same period in the prior year, corresponding to the growth in C&SI revenues. As a percentage of C&SI revenues, C&SI cost of services was unchanged at 72.4% for the six months ended December 31, 2000 and 2001. The ET segment cost of services declined 53.1% to $1.6 million for the six months ended December 31, 2001, from $3.5 million for the same period in the prior year, reflecting the formation of Mantas, Inc. as a separate company. As a percentage of ET revenues, ET cost of services increased to 67.6% for the six months ended December 31, 2001, from 43.6% for the same period in the prior year. This increase resulted from reduced client demand for our ET products and the fact that we did not reduce our staff proportionately during the period. Since December 31, 2001, this staff has been reduced in response to lower client demand. The LSI segment cost of services was $1.6 million for the six months ended December 31, 2000. We did not incur any LSI cost of services for the six months ended December 31, 2001 because we closed the LSI segment as of December 31, 2000.
 
Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses
 
For the six months ended December 31, 2001, total selling, general, and administrative expenses decreased 22.8% to $35.4 million, from $45.9 million for the same period in the prior year. As a percentage of total revenues, total selling, general, and administrative expenses decreased to 22.1% for the six months ended December 31, 2001, from 30.8% for the same period in the prior year. Total selling, general, and administrative expenses for the six months ended December 31, 2001 included stock-based compensation of $823,000; there were no stock-based compensation expenses for the same period in the prior year. The C&SI segment selling, general, and administrative expenses increased 1.0% to $30.1 million for the six months ended December 31, 2001, from $29.8 million for the same period in the prior year. As a percentage of C&SI revenues, C&SI selling, general, and administrative expenses decreased to 19.0% for the six months ended December 31, 2001, from 21.7% for the same period in the prior year. The ET segment selling, general, and administrative expenses declined 49.2% to $5.3 million for the six months ended December 31, 2001, from $10.5 million for the same period in the prior year, reflecting the formation of Mantas, Inc. as a separate company. As a percentage of ET revenues, ET selling, general, and administrative expenses increased to 219.0% for the six months ended December 31, 2001, from 130.5% for the same period in the prior year. This increase was due to reduced client

Table of Contents
demand for our ET products and the fact that we did not reduce our staff proportionately during the period. The LSI segment selling, general, and administrative expenses were $5.6 million for the six months ended December 31, 2000. We did not incur any LSI selling, general, and administrative expenses for the six months ended December 31, 2001 because we closed the LSI segment as of December 31, 2000.
 
Depreciation and Amortization
 
For the six months ended December 31, 2001, depreciation and amortization decreased by 8.7% to $3.6 million, from $4.0 million for the same period in the prior year, reflecting reduced capital spending.
 
Interest Expense, net
 
For the six months ended December 31, 2001, interest expense, net, decreased to $8,000, from $443,000 for the same period in the prior year. This decrease reflects reduced borrowings and increased cash balances resulting from improved operating income and lower days sales outstanding in accounts receivable.
 
Other Expense
 
Other expense reflects our provision for probable interest due on income taxes as a result of the Internal Revenue Service challenging our use of the cash method of accounting for income taxes. Other expense was $1.4 million for the six months ended December 31, 2000 and we did not provide for any other expense for the same period in 2001 as we believed that our $2.6 million accrual for probable losses was adequate.
 
Gains and Losses on Equity Method Investments
 
For the six months ended December 31, 2001, we recognized a gain of $373,000 when we received a portion of an escrow related to the sale of our minority interest in Mail2000, Inc. For the six months ended December 31, 2000, we reversed a $900,000 accrual for probable losses under funding commitments made by us to Mail2000, Inc. upon determination that our funding commitment would not be required.
 
Income Taxes
 
For the six months ended December 31, 2001, our effective income tax rate increased to 48.5%, from 42.2% for the same period in the prior year. This increase was due primarily to nondeductible stock-based compensation expenses for tax purposes in the six months ended December 31, 2001.
 
Year Ended June 30, 2001 Compared to Year Ended June 30, 2000
 
Revenues
 
For fiscal 2001, total revenues were largely unchanged at $312.5 million, compared to $312.0 million for fiscal 2000. The C&SI segment revenues increased 4.3% to $294.9 million for fiscal 2001, from $282.7 million for fiscal 2000. Fiscal 2000 C&SI revenues included $36.2 million of non-recurring revenue attributable to our response to client needs related to year 2000, or Y2K, conversion issues. Excluding the impact of this non-recurring revenue, C&SI revenues would have increased 19.6% to $294.9 million for fiscal 2001, from $246.5 million. This increase in C&SI revenue resulted from the expansion of services to existing key accounts, including the Internal Revenue Service, the Department of the Army, the General Accounting Office, and our work on the National Practitioner Data Bank. The ET segment revenues increased slightly to $14.2 million for fiscal 2001, from $14.1 million for fiscal 2000. The LSI segment revenues declined 77.1% to $3.5 million for fiscal 2001, from $15.2 million in fiscal 2000. This was due to declining LSI sales and the ultimate closing of the LSI segment as of December 31, 2000.
 
Cost of Services
 
For fiscal 2001, total cost of services increased 3.9% to $221.5 million, from $213.1 million for fiscal 2000. As a percentage of total revenues, total cost of services increased to 70.9% for fiscal 2001 from 68.3% for fiscal

2000. The C&SI segment cost of services increased 6.8% to $211.3 million for fiscal 2001, from $197.9 million for fiscal 2000. As a percentage of C&SI revenues, C&SI cost of services increased to 71.6% for fiscal 2001, from 70.0% for fiscal 2000. During the first half of fiscal 2001, we encountered an extremely tight labor market for information technology professionals and were not able to hire enough people to meet contract demands. This occurred at the same time that we were transferring a number of people to our ET segment initiatives. As a result, we utilized more subcontractors in order to meet contract obligations, and this increased our cost of services as a percentage of revenues, because subcontract work is not as profitable as work performed by our own employees. The ET segment cost of services increased 48.6% to $8.6 million for fiscal 2001, from $5.8 million for fiscal 2000. As a percentage of ET revenues, ET cost of services increased to 60.8% for fiscal 2001 from 41.2% for fiscal 2000. This increase was due to the scale up of our operations to support our Mantas service offerings to meet client requirements. The LSI segment cost of services declined 83.0% to $1.6 million for fiscal 2001, from $9.4 million for fiscal 2000, reflecting decreasing costs in response to declining LSI sales and the ultimate closing of the LSI business as of December 31, 2000. As a percentage of LSI revenues, LSI cost of services decreased to 45.8% for fiscal 2001, from 61.7% for fiscal 2000.
 
Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses
 
For fiscal 2001, total selling, general, and administrative expenses increased 10.1% to $85.0 million, from $77.2 million for fiscal 2000. As a percentage of total revenues, total selling, general, and administrative expenses increased to 27.2% for fiscal 2001, from 24.7% for fiscal 2000. The C&SI segment selling, general, and administrative expenses increased 3.8% to $60.4 million for fiscal 2001, from $58.2 million for fiscal 2000, corresponding to C&SI revenue growth. As a percentage of C&SI revenues, C&SI selling, general, and administrative expenses were largely unchanged at 20.5% for fiscal 2001 and 20.6% for fiscal 2000. The ET segment selling, general, and administrative expenses increased 100.8% to $19.0 million for fiscal 2001, from $9.4 million for fiscal 2000, reflecting increased costs related to the development and formation of Mantas, Inc. as a separate company. As a percentage of ET revenues, ET selling, general, and administrative expenses increased to 133.8% for fiscal 2001 from 67.2% for fiscal 2000. The LSI segment selling, general, and administrative expenses declined 41.2% to $5.6 million for fiscal 2001, from $9.6 million for fiscal 2000, reflecting the decline in business, offset in part by costs incurred to close the business. As a percentage of LSI revenues, LSI selling, general, and administrative expenses increased to 161.1% for fiscal 2001, from 62.7% for fiscal 2000.
 
Depreciation and Amortization
 
For fiscal 2001, depreciation and amortization increased 9.1% to $8.4 million, from $7.7 million for fiscal 2000, reflecting higher amortization of leasehold improvements and the depreciation of more purchased, rather than leased, personal computers.
 
Interest Expense, net
 
For fiscal 2001, interest expense, net, increased to $797,000 from $529,000 for fiscal 2000. This increase reflects increased borrowings that resulted from the declining operations and ultimate closure of our LSI segment as of December 31, 2000 and the funding of Mantas service offerings through May 24, 2001.
 
Other Expense
 
For fiscal 2001, other expense increased to $2.4 million from $209,000 for fiscal 2000, reflecting our view that the probable interest due increased as a result of the Internal Revenue Service continuing to challenge our use of the cash receipts and disbursements method of accounting for income taxes.

Gains and Losses on Equity Method Investments
 
In February 2001, we sold our interest in Mail2000, Inc. and recognized a pre-tax gain of $10.9 million. We also reversed a $900,000 accrual for probable losses under funding commitments we made to Mail2000, Inc.
 
On May 24, 2001, we established Mantas, Inc. as a separate company together with other third-party investors. In connection with this transaction, we exchanged the assets of our internal operating unit known as Mantas for a non-controlling equity interest in Mantas, Inc. Although the transaction was expected to occur on or about January 1, 2001, the closing was delayed to allow an additional strategic investor to participate. We elected to fund the Mantas operating unit’s ongoing operations from January 1, 2001 until the transaction closed, with the understanding that costs incurred by the Mantas operating unit from January 1, 2001 through the closing would be reimbursed to us by Mantas, Inc. when funded. Additionally, we agreed to pay Mantas, Inc. for revenues earned from the Mantas operating unit during this period once we collected these revenues. In connection with the closing, Mantas, Inc. reimbursed us for approximately $9.9 million attributable to costs we had funded and we paid Mantas, Inc. approximately $3.4 million attributable to revenue earned on Mantas contracts during the period from January 1, 2001 to May 24, 2001. This resulted in a net reimbursement to us of approximately $6.5 million, which we recognized as gain on equity method investments.
 
Income Taxes
 
For fiscal 2001, our effective tax rate increased to 42.2%, from 41.1% for fiscal 2000. This increase was due to higher term life insurance premiums that went into effect in fiscal 2001 and are not deductible for income tax purposes.
 
Year Ended June 30, 2000 Compared to Year Ended June 30, 1999
 
Revenues
 
For fiscal 2000, total revenues increased by 6.9% to $312.0 million, from $291.9 million for fiscal 1999. The C&SI segment revenues increased by 9.8% to $282.7 million for fiscal 2000, from $257.6 million for fiscal 1999. For fiscal 2000, non-recurring Y2K revenue declined to $36.2 million, from $62.0 million for fiscal 1999, as we successfully completed our Y2K efforts for clients. C&SI revenue, excluding the impact of the non-recurring Y2K revenue, increased 26.0% to $246.5 million for fiscal 2000, from $195.6 million for fiscal 1999. This increase in C&SI revenue was the result of winning new engagements in the C3I area, for which we established a new strategic business unit in fiscal 2000, and new work at the Internal Revenue Service. We also expanded our work at the General Accounting Office. The ET segment revenues declined 9.9% to $14.1 million for fiscal 2000, from $15.6 million for fiscal 1999, as we completed a significant data mining engagement for the NASD that was the precursor to the development of our Mantas service offerings. The LSI segment revenues declined 18.4% to $15.2 million for fiscal 2000, from $18.7 million for fiscal 1999. This decrease was the result of a general decline in our level of new business in the LSI segment.
 
Cost of Services
 
For fiscal 2000, total cost of services increased 8.3% to $213.1 million, from $196.9 million for fiscal 1999. As a percentage of total revenues, total cost of services increased to 68.3% for fiscal 2000 from 67.5% for fiscal 1999. The C&SI segment cost of services increased 10.5% to $197.9 million for fiscal 2000, from $179.1 million for fiscal 1999. This increase corresponded primarily to the growth in C&SI revenues. As a percentage of C&SI revenues, C&SI cost of services increased to 70.0% for fiscal 2000 from 69.5% for fiscal 1999. In fiscal 2000, we began to use more subcontractors in order to meet contract obligations, increasing our C&SI cost of services as a percentage of C&SI revenues, because subcontracted work is not as profitable as work performed by our own employees. The ET segment cost of services declined 10.6% to $5.8 million for fiscal 2000, from $6.5 million for fiscal 1999, reflecting the corresponding decline in ET revenues. As a percentage of ET revenues, ET cost of services decreased slightly to 41.2% for fiscal 2000 from 41.5% for fiscal 1999. The LSI segment cost of services declined 16.3% to $9.4 million for fiscal 2000, from $11.2 million for fiscal 1999. As a percentage of LSI revenues, LSI cost of services increased to 61.7% for fiscal 2000 from 60.2% for fiscal 1999, reflecting increased pricing pressure for LSI services.

Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses
 
For fiscal 2000, total selling, general, and administrative expenses increased 9.4% to $77.2 million, from $70.6 million for fiscal 1999. As a percentage of total revenues, total selling, general, and administrative expenses increased to 24.7% for fiscal 2000 from 24.2% for fiscal 1999. The C&SI segment selling, general, and administrative expenses increased 12.1% to $58.2 million for fiscal 2000, from $51.9 million for fiscal 1999. As a percentage of C&SI revenues, C&SI selling, general, and administrative expenses increased to 20.6% for fiscal 2000, from 20.2% for fiscal 1999. The ET segment selling, general, and administrative expenses decreased 7.9% to $9.4 million for fiscal 2000, from $10.3 million for fiscal 1999, reflecting a corresponding decline in ET revenues. As a percentage of ET revenues, ET selling, general, and administrative expenses increased to 67.2% for fiscal 2000, from 65.7% for fiscal 1999. The LSI segment selling, general, and administrative expenses increased 14.0% to $9.6 million for fiscal 2000, from $8.4 million for fiscal 1999. As a percentage of LSI revenues, LSI selling, general, and administrative expenses increased to 62.7% for fiscal 2000 from 44.9% for fiscal 1999, reflecting our increased selling and marketing efforts to address this business as it was beginning to decline.
 
Depreciation and Amortization
 
For fiscal 2000, depreciation and amortization declined 10.5% to $7.7 million, from $8.6 million for fiscal 1999, due to the amortization of capitalized software development costs in fiscal 1999.
 
Interest Expense, net
 
For fiscal 2000, interest expense, net, decreased 50.5% to $529,000, from $1.1 million for fiscal 1999. This decrease reflects reduced borrowings that resulted from lower working capital requirements in fiscal 2000. We had significant working capital requirements in fiscal 1999 related to a large Y2K contract.
 
Other Expense
 
Other expense was $209,000 for fiscal 2000 and we did not incur any other expense for fiscal 1999.
 
Gains and Losses on Equity Method Investments
 
In fiscal 2000, we guaranteed a letter of credit issued on behalf of Mail2000, Inc. and recorded a $900,000 loss accrual for what we then viewed as probable losses under the guarantee. Ultimately, the guarantee was not called.
 
Income Taxes
 
For fiscal 2000, our effective income tax rate decreased to 41.1%, from 41.5% for fiscal 1999. This decrease resulted from lower nondeductible expenses in fiscal 2000.
 
Seasonality
 
Our operating margin has typically been negatively affected in the quarter ending September 30 by generally lower staff utilization rates. These lower utilization rates are attributable both to summer vacations and to increased proposal activity in connection with the end of the federal fiscal year. We typically transition a number of professional staff temporarily off of billable engagements to support this increased proposal activity. This seasonality has not been transparent in our financial results for the periods presented in this prospectus, primarily because its effects have been offset by other factors. However, we expect to continue to experience this seasonality and our future periods may be materially affected by it.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
Our primary liquidity needs have historically been to finance the costs of operations pending the billing and collection of accounts receivable, to acquire capital assets, to invest in research and development, and to repurchase our stock from our employees. We have historically relied on cash flow from operations and

40


Table of Contents
borrowings under our credit facility for liquidity. We expect the combination of cash flows from operations and the available borrowing capacity on our credit facility to meet our normal operating liquidity and capital expenditure requirements for at least the next twelve months. Our operating cash flow is primarily affected by the overall profitability of our contracts, our ability to invoice and collect from our clients in a timely manner and our ability to manage our vendor payments. Our ability to borrow funds is generally related to the level of receivables we have due from clients and the amount of cash flow we generate from our operating activities.
 
Our cash and cash equivalents were $5.6 million as of December 31, 2001 and we had no outstanding balance under our credit facility as of that date. Our cash and cash equivalents were $9,000 and $8,000 as of June 30, 2000 and 2001, respectively, reflecting net borrowings as of the end of those periods. The reduction in borrowing and increase in the cash and cash equivalents balance between July 1, 2000 and December 31, 2001, is attributable primarily to improved receivables management, coupled with improving margins in our C&SI segment and greater focus on vendor management. Days sales outstanding have declined from about 120 for fiscal 2000, to 94 for the six months ended December 31, 2001. Accounts receivable represent our largest working capital requirement. We typically bill our clients monthly after services are rendered.
 
Cash Flow
 
Net cash provided by operating activities was $18.7 million for the six months ended December 31, 2001, an increase of $11.9 million from the six months ended December 31, 2000. This increase in operating cash flow was primarily attributable to improved profitability and improved collection of accounts receivable, offset by higher vendor payments. Net cash used by investing activities was $1.1 million for the six months ended December 31, 2001, a decline of $4.6 million from the six months ended December 31, 2000. This reduced level of capital spending was consistent with lower planned leasehold improvements and decreased spending on internal computer system implementation activities. Net cash used by financing activities was $12.1 million for the six months ended December 31, 2001, an increase of $11.0 million from the six months ended December 31, 2000. This change was attributable to lower net borrowing and increased treasury stock repurchases. Since 1992, we have offered stockholders the opportunity to periodically sell shares to us. The board of directors, with the aid of a third party appraisal firm, determined the fair market value of our class A common stock prior to our limited offer to repurchase. From July 1, 1999 through June 30, 2001, treasury stock transactions totaled $31.3 million, including stock repurchases and withholding of shares to satisfy tax liabilities. Amounts by period are reflected in our consolidated statements of equity and cash flows. We intend to discontinue our stock repurchase program upon the closing of this offering.
 
Net cash provided by operating activities was $9.8 million for fiscal 2001, a decrease of $15.1 million from fiscal 2000. This decrease in operating cash flow was primarily attributable to the loss from operations in fiscal 2001. Net cash provided by investing activities was $7.4 million for fiscal 2001, an increase of $19.3 million from fiscal 2000. This increase was due almost entirely to the sale of equity interests held in Mail2000, Inc. and gains recognized in connection with the formation of Mantas, Inc. Net cash used by financing activities was $17.2 million for fiscal 2001, an increase of $4.1 million from fiscal 2000. This increase was primarily due to increased treasury stock repurchases, offset partially by lower credit facility repayments.
 
Net cash provided by operating activities was $24.9 million for fiscal 2000, an increase of $8.5 million from fiscal 1999. This increase was primarily attributable to collections, offset in part by reduced deferred taxes. Net cash used by investing activities was $11.9 million for fiscal 2000, an increase of $1.3 million from fiscal 1999. Net cash used by financing activities was $13.1 million for fiscal 2000, an increase of $7.3 million from fiscal 1999. This increase was due to higher treasury stock repurchases and increased debt service.
 
Credit Facility
 
In August 2001, we entered into a $60 million credit facility that expires on December 31, 2003. The initial commitment under this facility is $40 million and we have the option, provided no event of default

41


Table of Contents
under the agreement exists, of increasing the amount committed in two increments of $10 million. We may use this facility for general corporate purposes including working capital financing, capital purchases, acquisitions, and stock repurchases. The agreement contains customary covenants and requires that specified financial ratios be maintained. The credit facility is unsecured as long as specified financial ratios are met, which as of December 31, 2001, was the case. We may elect to pay interest at either the prime rate of our bank or our bank’s LIBOR plus a margin, which is determined quarterly based on our debt-to-cash flow ratio. As of December 31, 2001, no borrowings or other commitments were outstanding under the revolving credit facility. On February 28, 2002, we paid approximately $22.3 million of previously deferred federal and state income taxes resulting from the resolution of the audit by the Internal Revenue Service of our federal income tax return for fiscal 1996, as described more fully below. We intend to use a portion of the net proceeds from this offering to repay any borrowings that result from these payments.
 
Capital Expenditures
 
Our capital expenditures were $10.6 million, $11.9 million, $10.5 million, and $1.4 million for fiscal 1999, 2000, 2001 and the six months ended December 31, 2001, respectively. During the last three fiscal years, we have refurbished most of our major facilities and implemented a number of new corporate computer systems. As a result, our actual capital purchases during these periods are higher than the level we expect for the remainder of fiscal 2002 and fiscal 2003. We currently expect to spend approximately $3 million on capital purchases for the second half of fiscal 2002 and $8 million for fiscal 2003.
 
Related Party Transactions
 
We have agreements with Ernst Volgenau, our chief executive officer, and William Brehm, our chairman of the board of directors, requiring us to maintain term life insurance policies on their lives through 2009, and to use the proceeds of such insurance to repurchase their shares of common stock upon their death. We pay annual premiums on these policies, which are fixed through 2009, equal to $456,800 for Dr. Volgenau and $211,660 for Mr. Brehm, which we will expense as incurred. You should read “Related Party Transactions–Life insurance policies and stock purchase agreements with chief executive officer and chairman” for more information about these agreements.
 
Since May 24, 2001, Mantas, Inc. has utilized services provided by us pursuant to agreements that are cancellable by Mantas, Inc. and us upon short notice. Mantas, Inc. reimburses us for the cost of these services. Mantas, Inc. leases space from us and receives other support services related to its occupancy. Our sublease income and amounts due for other support services provided were approximately $917,000 from May 24, 2001 through December 31, 2001. We also allow Mantas, Inc. to obtain travel and insurance-related services using our existing relationships with vendors. The total of these services received by Mantas, Inc. was approximately $754,000 from May 24, 2001 through December 31, 2001. Additionally, we provide labor services when requested by Mantas, Inc. to support its administrative and client support activities. Approximately $656,000 of these labor services were provided from May 24, 2001 through December 31, 2001. At December 31, 2001, amounts due from Mantas, Inc. for all services utilized were approximately $246,000, which amounts were subsequently paid by Mantas, Inc. to us.
 
Commitments and Contingencies
 
Internal Revenue Service Audit Resolution
 
On February 28, 2002, we settled all outstanding issues raised by the Internal Revenue Service with respect to an audit of our June 30, 1996 tax return. The primary issue related to our use of the cash receipts and disbursements method of accounting for income tax purposes. The Internal Revenue Service asserted that we did not qualify to use this method of accounting. While we disagreed with the Internal Revenue Service on this matter, in order to bring the matter to closure, we agreed to convert from the cash method to the accrual method effective July 1, 2000. As part of the settlement, the Internal Revenue Service accepted our use of the cash

Table of Contents
method for tax returns filed through June 30, 2000. The effect of this change requires that we pay deferred federal and state income taxes, plus interest accrued from September 24, 2001 to February 28, 2002. On February 28, 2002 we paid the federal portion of these taxes totaling $18.6 million, plus interest of $538,000. We also paid $3.2 million of state taxes, representing substantially all of the required additional state tax payments. We had previously established a reserve of approximately $2.6 million relating to the estimated probable interest on the tax liability. This reserve now exceeds the amount of the interest payments, and as a result we will reverse the excess reserve of approximately $1.8 million after making the remainder of the state tax and interest payments. This reversal will be reflected as other income in our statement of operations for the quarter ending March 31, 2002.
 
Government Contracting
 
Payments to us on cost-plus contracts are provisional and are subject to adjustment upon audit by the Defense Contract Audit Agency. Audits through June 30, 1999 have been completed. We do not expect audit adjustments resulting from audits for the years ended June 30, 2000 and 2001 or for the six months ended December 31, 2001 to have a material effect on our results of operations or financial position.

This table does not reflect the borrowings after December 31, 2001 under our credit facility discussed above or actual or potential payments in connection with the acquisition of The Marasco Newton Group Ltd. in January 2002 as discussed below.
 
Acquisitions
 
In January 2002, we acquired, by merger, all of the outstanding stock of The Marasco Newton Group Ltd. We made initial payments of approximately $6.2 million to Marasco Newton stockholders, and deposited another $1.0 million in escrow to secure indemnification obligations of Marasco Newton to us. In connection with the acquisition, we assumed debt of approximately $5.2 million which we expect to repay in March 2002. We may be required to pay up to approximately $9.1 million of additional purchase price in the future if Marasco Newton achieves specified operating results and additions to contract backlog. We are required to make these additional payments, if any, in two parts and they are expected to occur, if at all, between March 1, 2003 and June 30, 2003. Exclusive of any additional purchase price, we believe that approximately $5.0 million of the purchase price will be allocated to identifiable intangible assets and goodwill.
 
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
 
To the extent of our borrowings under our credit facility, we have some interest rate risk based on the loan’s variable interest rate. Based on our average credit facility balance in fiscal 1999, 2000, and 2001, a one percentage point increase in the average interest rate would have resulted in approximately $87,000, $23,000, and $70,000, respectively, of increased interest payments for those periods. For the six months ended December 31, 2001, our net interest expense was immaterial.

Historically, our investment positions have been relatively small and short-term in nature. We have typically made overnight investments using unsecured masternote investments of our primary bank.
 
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, issued SFAS No. 133, as amended by SFAS Nos. 137 and 138, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.” This statement establishes accounting and reporting standards requiring that every derivative instrument, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, be recorded on the balance sheet as either an asset or liability measured at its fair value. SFAS No. 133 requires that changes in the derivative’s fair value be recognized currently in earnings unless specific hedge accounting criteria are met. SFAS No. 133 is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. We engage in minimal derivative activity and the adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
 
In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141, “Business Combinations,” and SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangibles.” These statements were effective July 1, 2001 for us. Upon adoption, there was no impact on our results of operations or financial position. Future business combinations, if any, must now be accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. Goodwill that results from any business combination will no longer be subject to amortization. Rather, such goodwill will be subject to an impairment test to be conducted at least annually. We do not expect the adoption of this new standard will have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
 
In July 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 143, “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations.” SFAS No. 143 requires that the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation be recognized in the period in which it is incurred, if a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made. The associated asset retirement cost would be capitalized as part of the carrying amount of the long-lived asset. SFAS No. 143 will be effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002. We do not expect the adoption of this new standard will have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
 
In October 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,” which replaces SFAS No. 121. SFAS No. 144 requires that long-lived assets be measured at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell, whether reported in continuing operations or in discontinued operations. SFAS No. 144 also broadens the reporting of discontinued operations to include all components of an entity with operations that can be distinguished from the rest of the entity and that will be eliminated from the ongoing operations of the entity in a disposal transaction. The provisions of SFAS No. 144 are effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. We do not expect the adoption of this new standard will have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

Overview
 
We are a leading provider of information technology services and solutions to U.S. federal government organizations in three principal markets: national security, health care and public health, and civil government. Our largest market, national security, includes the Department of Defense, the intelligence agencies, and other federal organizations with homeland security missions. We offer a broad range of services that spans the information technology life-cycle: strategic consulting; systems design, development, and integration; and outsourcing and operations management. In addition, to address recurring client needs, we have developed four business solutions: text and data mining; contingency and disaster response planning; information assurance; and enterprise systems management. We combine a comprehensive knowledge of our clients’ business processes with the practical application of advanced information technology tools, techniques, and methods to create value-added solutions for our clients.
 
We have provided information technology services and solutions to federal government clients for nearly 24 years and have longstanding relationships with many of them. We have served clients within the Departments of the Army, Navy, and Air Force, the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the Office of the Secretary of Defense, the Department of the Treasury, and the Federal Emergency Management Agency for over 20 years. We currently serve over 300 government clients on over 600 active engagements. Our business is diversified, with no single engagement accounting for more than 5% of our revenues during fiscal 2001 or the six months ended December 31, 2001. Since our founding in 1978, we have been engaged on approximately 5,500 projects. For each of the last three fiscal years and the six months ended December 31, 2001, we have been the prime contractor on engagements representing over 94% of our total revenues.
 
Our executive team includes the core group of senior executives that has built the company over the past two decades. Our founder, president, and chief executive officer, Ernst Volgenau, our chairman, William K. Brehm, and our executive vice president and chief operating officer, Edward E. Legasey, have been with us in those capacities since our inception. Our 43 officers have an average tenure with our company of approximately 14 years. Our management team is supported by a high quality staff of over 2,100 people, of whom approximately 94% are professional staff. Our professional staff is highly educated, with approximately one-third possessing advanced degrees. In addition, over 50% of our employees hold federal government security clearances.
 
We have increased revenues and been profitable every year since our inception in 1978. From fiscal 1996 to fiscal 2001, we increased our revenues at a compound annual growth rate of 14.7%. Our revenues for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2001 and for the six months ended December 31, 2001 were $312.5 million and $160.6 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2001, our contract backlog was $970.5 million. In January 2002, we acquired The Marasco Newton Group Ltd., our first government services acquisition.
 
Industry Background
 
The federal government is the largest consumer of information technology services and solutions in the United States. According to INPUT, an independent federal government market research firm, the federal information technology market is expected to grow at an annual rate of 10.6% from $36.4 billion in federal fiscal year 2001 to $60.3 billion in federal fiscal year 2006. We believe that the federal government’s spending on information technology will continue to increase in the next several years, driven by increases in national defense and homeland security programs, increased reliance on information technology outsourcing, demand for greater government efficiency and effectiveness, increased federal public health spending, and the continuing impact of federal procurement reform.

Increased Spending on National Defense and Homeland Security
 
The terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 have intensified the federal government’s commitment to strengthen our country’s military, intelligence, and homeland security capabilities. Even before the attacks, the Bush administration’s June 2001 budget amendment increased the Department of Defense’s preliminary federal fiscal year 2002 budget approximately 11% over federal fiscal year 2001 to $329 billion, which was further increased to $332 billion following the terrorist attacks. The administration also recently requested $379 billion in defense appropriations for federal fiscal year 2003, an increase of approximately 14%. On September 18, 2001, the President signed into law a $40 billion emergency supplemental appropriations bill in response to the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001, in part to further enhance homeland security initiatives. The administration’s budget for fiscal 2002 provided an additional $13.6 billion for combatting terrorism and protecting critical infrastructure and its proposed budget for fiscal 2003 includes $37 billion for homeland defense, of which $8.3 billion is included in the Department of Defense’s budget.
 
We believe the focus on national security, homeland security, and intelligence will increase the need for information technology capable of supporting these functions. According to INPUT, budgets developed by Congress for information security capabilities such as security assessments, disaster recovery, intrusion detection, and military training, together with enhanced intelligence capabilities, such as sophisticated data analysis and military briefing capabilities, are expected to increase to $4.2 billion in the federal fiscal year 2003 budget, an increase of 56% over the federal fiscal year 2002 budget. For example, we believe intelligence agencies will increase demand for data and text mining solutions to enable them to extract, analyze, and present data gathered from the massive volumes of information available through open sources such as the Internet. This increased focus has also reinforced the need for interoperability among the many disparate information technology systems throughout the federal government. The new Office of Homeland Security and the intelligence agencies are increasingly interested in enterprise systems that enable better coordination and communication within and among agencies and departments.
 
Increased Reliance on Information Technology Outsourcing
 
According to INPUT, federal information technology outsourcing expenditures totaled $6.3 billion in 2001 and are expected to increase at a 15.9% compound annual growth rate to $13.2 billion by 2006. Outsourcing of information technology operations is becoming an increasingly attractive alternative for federal agencies that are striving to maintain their core functions with limited technical resources and a shrinking information technology workforce, while at the same time upgrading technology and standardizing and streamlining operations. We expect reductions in the federal information technology workforce to continue due to Congressional pressure for federal employment cuts and an increase in the number of retiring government information technology workers. In April 2001, the General Accounting Office estimated that approximately 31% of employees working in 24 federal agencies will be eligible to retire by 2006 and that approximately half of those eligible employees will retire by the end of 2006.
 
Demand for Greater Government Efficiency and Effectiveness
 
Budget-constrained federal government agencies are under increasing pressure to cut costs, while at the same time continuing to improve and upgrade their technological capabilities. In many cases, this has involved transitioning their existing, proprietary systems to emerging technologies that improve effectiveness, enhance productivity, and deliver new services. We believe these new services will be particularly important as government agencies respond to the necessity for interoperability among the information technology systems throughout the government and the demand for comprehensive electronic services to the public. The Government Paperwork Elimination Act requires all federal agencies to provide the public with electronic access to government services and documents by 2003 and to give the public the option of submitting government forms electronically.

Increased Federal Public Health Spending
 
Federal public health and health care management agencies are expected to increase their overall spending from $295 billion in federal fiscal year 2001 to $418 billion in federal fiscal year 2006, according to an April 2001 study by INPUT. We believe that overall increases in health spending will translate into increased spending for information technology in this sector because public health and health care management are increasingly information-based and focused on prediction and prevention as well as management of illness, which in turn demands better information systems. We believe that four major factors will contribute to the growth in federal health care spending in general and health-related information technology spending in particular. The first is the increased commitment to defend against the threat of bioterrorism following the events of September 11, 2001. Second, rapid advances in life sciences such as genomics and proteomics are creating vast amounts of data, which is increasing the demand for information technology services, including bioinformatics, data mining, and text mining. Third, demand is increasing for information technology solutions that discover and detect medical fraud. The fourth factor is the aging of the U.S. population, which is expected to increase the demand for health services from providers, payers, and insurers. These trends are already evidenced by the 15.7% growth in funding for the National Institutes of Health in federal fiscal year 2002 as compared to the prior year.
 
Continuing Impact of Federal Procurement Reform
 
Over the past several years, federal government agencies have adopted procurement processes that are more similar to typical commercial contract acquisition practices. Changes in the procurement process have streamlined the process of purchasing information technology services by reducing procurement time and acquisition costs. These changes provide increased flexibility and enable government entities to award contracts based on factors other than price alone, such as successful past performance and distinguishing corporate and technical capabilities.
 
There are currently two widely used contract methods in federal procurement: single award/defined statement of work contracts and indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity contracts, including GWACs and GSA schedule contracts:
 
 
 
Single award/defined statement of work contracts.    Under this contract method, which can take a year or more to complete, an agency solicits, qualifies, and then requests proposals from interested contractors. The agency then evaluates the bids and typically awards the contract to a single contractor for a specified service. Historically, single award/defined statement of work contracts were the most prevalent type of contract award used by federal government clients; however, the use of this type of contract has been declining for the past several years.
 
 
 
Indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity contracts.    Under this contract method, the federal government can form preferred provider relationships with one or more contractors that a sponsoring agency qualifies through a competitive process. The agency then issues specific delivery orders for work to those pre-selected prime contractors as required. Although indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity contracts are typically managed by a sponsoring agency, those designated as GWACs are available for use by virtually all the agencies of the federal government. Indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity contracts can have a single prime or multiple prime contractors. If there are multiple prime contractors, the award of delivery orders is usually determined through a competitive process.
 
Multiple award, indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity contracts generally require less time and result in lower contract procurement costs to the agency than the single award contracts. Two types of indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity contracts, GWACs and GSA schedule contracts, have increased in popularity in the last several years because of their increased speed, flexibility, and cost effectiveness. GSA schedule contracts and GWACs may be used by virtually any federal agency.

Market Opportunity
 
The federal government’s demand for information technology services is expected to increase as a result of planned increases in spending for national defense, homeland security, and public health; increased reliance on outsourced information technology programs; and demand for greater government efficiency and effectiveness. We believe that for information technology providers to win contract awards from the federal government they must possess strong and stable management, highly skilled personnel, demonstrated technological expertise, a deep knowledge of the government’s business processes, a strong record of past performance, and key positioning on many of the increasingly popular multiple award contract vehicles such as GSA schedule contracts, GWACs and other indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity contracts.
 
Our Approach
 
We are a high-end information technology services and solutions provider focused on delivering results that create tangible value for our clients. We maintain the comprehensive information technology skills required to support the entire life-cycle of our clients’ systems, from strategic planning to operational support. We employ interdisciplinary teams to staff our engagements, which enables us to deliver services and solutions that combine our comprehensive knowledge of our clients’ business processes with the necessary technical expertise. Depending on client needs, we may integrate commercially available products with existing systems or develop a comprehensive solution that involves designing, integrating, maintaining, and upgrading a custom-built system.
 
To maximize our ability to deliver consistent results that successfully meet client needs, we have developed a proprietary project management and technical execution methodology, which we call ELITE. We train our project managers and technical leaders using this methodology, which emphasizes using mature, repeatable processes that reduce risk and maximize successful project completion. As a result, our consulting and systems integration business, including all its business units, has received a capability maturity model, or CMM, level 3 rating under the standards established by the Software Engineering Institute. This rating reflects that we have mature, repeatable processes that we believe help to reduce risk, improve technical delivery, contain costs, and meet demanding schedules. Often the federal government requires a CMM level 3 rating as a qualification to bid on complex software development and systems integration projects.
 
We believe we are able to execute our approach successfully as a result of five core strengths:
 
Strong, Stable Management and Highly Skilled Personnel
 
Our executive team includes the core group of senior executives that has built our company over the past two decades. Our 43 officers have an average tenure with our company of approximately 14 years, providing extensive industry experience and strong continuity of management. Several members of our management team are former senior military officers or government officials who have deep knowledge of the federal government and its information technology needs. Our corporate culture fosters teamwork and excellence which has contributed to our being named in 2002 by Fortune magazine as one of the “100 Best Companies to Work For in America” for the third consecutive year. This in turn has enhanced our ability to recruit and retain highly skilled personnel. Our professional staff is highly educated, with approximately one-third holding advanced degrees.
 
Knowledge of Government Clients’ Business Processes
 
We have served clients within the Departments of the Army, Navy, and Air Force, the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the Office of the Secretary of Defense, the Department of the Treasury, and the Federal Emergency Management Agency for over 20 years. As a result of these longstanding relationships, we have developed a deep knowledge of our clients’ business processes, which enables us to design solutions that address their strategic goals and integrate with their existing systems. We have also recruited strategic hires with significant governmental or technical experience who have added to our knowledge of our clients’ business processes and who have extended our expertise into new areas.

Technical Expertise
 
We invest in research and development in areas such as text mining, data mining, information assurance, and other emerging technologies in order to offer clients the most up-to-date technological solutions. We use our proprietary intellectual property, including our ELITE life-cycle methodology, to provide value-added solutions for our clients.
 
Proven Record of Past Performance
 
We have provided information technology services and solutions to the federal government for nearly 24 years and have longstanding relationships with many of our clients. In order to promote high quality results and client satisfaction, we emphasize long-term assignment of required staff and consistently review our project performance. On competitively awarded engagements on which we were the incumbent, we have a renewal rate of at least 95% for each of the last three fiscal years and for the six months ended December 31, 2001. We calculate our contract renewal rate based on the number of engagements that come up for recompetition during the period and the number of those recompetitions that we win.
 
Key Positioning as a Prime Contractor
 
We are currently a prime contractor on four of the federal government’s five largest information technology services GWACs: Millennia, Millennia Lite, CIO-SP2i, and ITOP II. We hold two GSA schedule contracts and we are a prime contractor on more than 12 agency-specific indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity contracts. In addition, Marasco Newton holds two additional GSA schedule contracts. This broad contract portfolio gives us extensive reach as a preferred provider and enables us to deliver the full range of our services and solutions to any organization in the federal government. Serving as a prime contractor positions us to achieve better client relationships, more control and influence, clearer visibility into future opportunities, and enhanced profit margins.
 
Growth Strategy
 
Our objective is to continue to profitably grow our business as a leading provider of information technology services and solutions to a wide variety of federal government organizations. Our growth strategy includes the following:
 
Leverage Our Longstanding Client Relationships to Cross-Sell Our Full Range of Services
 
We plan to continue expanding the scope of the services we provide to our existing clients. We are adept at penetrating, cross-selling to, and building-out existing client accounts through our successful performance and comprehensive knowledge of their business, which has led to many long-term contract relationships. For example, we increased the scope of our work with the Internal Revenue Service from a $1 million per year strategic consulting engagement in the early 1980s, to multiple engagements with $25.9 million of revenues in fiscal 2001 under the Internal Revenue Service’s TIPSS and TIPSS-2 contracts. We are currently providing enterprise systems management, fraud detection, systems integration, and information assurance support on 13 active engagements with the Internal Revenue Service. We believe our high level of client satisfaction and deep knowledge of our clients’ business processes enhance our ability to cross-sell additional services.
 
Increase Our Client Base
 
We believe that the federal government’s increasing reliance on outsourcing and the increased emphasis on national security and homeland security, coupled with the changes in procurement reform, have significantly increased our market opportunity. We have a longstanding heritage of supporting the federal government in the areas of contingency and disaster response planning; information assurance; critical infrastructure protection; and command and control, communications, and intelligence. We intend to leverage this broad experience to expand our client base to include organizations in the federal government for which we have not historically worked. We believe our ability to win new clients is enhanced by our position as a prime contractor on four of the five largest information technology services GWACs. These contracts enable us to sell our services and solutions to virtually any federal government agency. In addition, we intend to continue strategic hiring to expand the breadth of our expertise into new areas of the federal government or new technologies. We have used strategic hires as a cost-effective way to build-out client accounts, to establish new competencies, and to penetrate new markets.

Focus Our Applied Research and Development Investments to Enhance Our Core Business
 
We intend to continue to invest in applied research and development initiatives to enhance our competitive position within our core C&SI business. For example, we have recently employed proprietary intellectual property developed through these initiatives in engagements relating to multimedia data fusion used for preparing daily intelligence briefings for senior government executives, text extraction for multiple languages, aircraft incident discovery and correlation, bioterrorism detection, and gene expression analysis.
 
Pursue Strategic Acquisitions
 
To complement our internal growth, we may pursue strategic acquisitions that can cost-effectively add new clients, specific agency knowledge, or technological expertise to accelerate our access to existing or new markets. In January 2002, we acquired The Marasco Newton Group Ltd. for its expertise in the federal government environmental market, including its role as a prime contractor on the Superfund and Brownfields programs at the Environmental Protection Agency. We also expect that this acquisition will facilitate our ability to sell our complete range of services and solutions to Marasco Newton’s client base in the federal environmental market.

Our Business Solutions
 
We have developed four business solutions that focus on specific business requirements that are common to many of our clients. These business solutions apply to clients within each of our target markets. Our core business solutions include data and text mining applications, contingency and disaster response planning, information assurance, and enterprise systems management. These business solutions consist of repeatable tools, techniques, and methods that reflect the specific competencies we have gained from significant experience in these areas. Our current business solutions are enhanced through our focus on applied research and development in the areas of natural language processing and information security. In anticipation of future client needs, we are performing research and development on emerging technologies such as wireless applications, genetic algorithms, and proximity networking that may enhance existing business solutions or may lead to new business solutions.
 
Text and Data Mining.    We offer clients a variety of software applications to help solve the general problem of information overload and to find valuable information that is hidden in vast amounts of textual information and data. Our clients in this area include intelligence agencies, Wall Street firms, stock exchanges, and large on-line publishers, such as LexisNexis, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc. We have developed software applications for analyzing unstructured text, such as newspapers, e-mail, web pages, and reports, and we have extensive specialized expertise in natural language processing. For over a decade, we have created and deployed software applications to automatically analyze text in English and in foreign languages. For example, we have applied our text extraction technology to help a major commercial airline analyze and extract critical safety information from unstructured text contained in pilot incident reports. We have also developed, integrated, and installed our Assentor e-mail surveillance application for more than 80 clients, collectively supporting more than 130,000 users in the financial services industry.
 
In addition to our text mining solutions, we offer data mining solutions that enable our clients to sort through growing collections of data located in databases, spreadsheets, e-mail, and documents to analyze patterns or identify pre-defined conditions. We apply data mining to both government and commercial markets, in engagements that range from fundamental research to applications development. For example, at the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, we are analyzing Medicare claims for detection of known schemes of fraudulent activity and the discovery of new patterns of activity that may also indicate fraud, waste, or abuse. We also have developed and deployed data mining models for the Air Force Surgeon General to aid in the early detection of the outbreak of infectious diseases, including those resulting from bioterrorism.
 
Contingency and Disaster Response Planning.    For nearly two decades, we have helped clients prepare for, respond to, and recover from natural and technological disasters. We provide a full spectrum of solutions including planning, training, simulated exercises, and automated support systems to help our clients prepare for events that could adversely affect their operations. We work closely with our clients to assess site-specific threats, determine essential functions that cannot be interrupted, and define the activities needed to sustain them. We also design and implement programs to train client personnel for their emergency activities and design and conduct periodic exercises to validate plans, procedures, responsibilities and resources, as well as to reinforce training. For example, we developed continuity-of-operations plans for major Department of Defense organizations, including clients within the Departments of the Army, Navy, and Air Force; the Defense Information Systems Agency; and the Office of the Secretary of Defense.
 
Information Assurance.    We have a comprehensive information assurance program that helps our clients counter information security threats. Information systems, including computer systems, databases, and networks, are a crucial part of virtually every organization’s critical infrastructure and we provide a broad range of solutions to enhance our clients’ systems, network availability, and security. We provide our clients security engineering, vulnerability assessments, penetration testing, intrusion detection and response systems, encryption services, security awareness training, and backup and recovery planning. For example, we are providing a wide range of information assurance support to the Department of the Interior. Our tasks include developing a robust

National Security
 
We view the national security market as consisting of two distinct components: C3I and defense information systems.
 
Command and Control, Communications, and Intelligence.    National security organizations, including all branches of the military, must maintain positive command and control of their forces and resources. This requires secure, redundant, and survivable communications and the integrated information systems and facilities, or command centers, required to monitor status, assess alternatives, and execute plans. We are one of the leading information technology service providers in the development and integration of command and control systems and decision support systems for the Department of Defense. Clients for whom we have designed, engineered, and implemented national security command centers include the National Military Command Center, National Military Joint Intelligence Center, Army Operations Center, Air Force Operations Group, the Pentagon, and the White House. Our work includes facility design, architecture development, network engineering, transition planning, integration, and installation. We also help military and other government departments and agencies with homeland security missions strengthen defenses against emerging unconventional threats to the United States, such as terrorist acts, weapons of mass destruction, assaults on critical infrastructures, and cyber-based attacks. We apply advanced technology to support clients within the intelligence community with solutions in foreign language text understanding, information extraction, data mining, natural language processing, network engineering, and information assurance.
 
The following two examples are representative of our C3I engagements.

Existing Contract Profile
 
Contract Types
 
We currently have over 600 active contract engagements, each employing one of three types of price structures: cost-plus, time-and-materials, and fixed-price.
 
Cost-plus contracts.    Cost-plus contracts provide for reimbursement of allowable costs and the payment of a fee, which is our profit. Cost-plus fixed-fee contracts specify the contract fee in dollars. Cost-plus award-fee contracts provide for a base fee amount, plus an award fee that varies, within specified limits, based upon the client’s assessment of our performance as compared to contractual targets for factors such as cost, quality, schedule, and performance. The majority of our cost-plus contracts are fixed-fee.
 
Time-and-materials contracts.    Under a time-and-materials contract, we are paid a fixed hourly rate for each direct labor hour expended and we are reimbursed for allowable materials and out-of-pocket expenses. To the extent our actual labor hour costs vary significantly from the negotiated hourly rates under a time-and-materials contract, we can generate more or less than the targeted amount of profit.
 
Fixed-price contracts.    Under a fixed-price contract, we agree to perform the specified work for a pre-determined price. To the extent our actual costs vary from the estimates upon which the price was negotiated, we can generate more or less than the targeted amount of profit or even incur a loss. Some fixed-price contracts have a performance-based component, in which we can earn incentive payments or incur financial penalties based on our performance. We generally do not undertake complex, high-risk work under fixed-price terms.
 
Our historical contract mix, measured as a percentage of total revenues for each period, is summarized in the table below. Software license revenues are included in fixed-price contracts below.

Government Wide Acquisition Contracts and GSA Schedule Contracts
 
We are a leading supplier of information technology services and solutions to federal government clients under GWACs and are currently a prime contractor on four of the five largest information technology services GWACs, measured by the aggregate dollar amount of delivery order awards as of December 31, 2001. We also hold two GSA schedule contracts: Schedule 70 and MOBIS. With the acquisition of Marasco Newton, we have added two additional GSA schedule contracts: Environmental Advisory Services and Marketing and Media Services. GWACs and GSA schedule contracts are becoming increasingly popular contract award methods, offering more flexible, cost-effective, and rapid procurement processes.
 
We have used these contracts to capture a significant amount of business. For example, as of December 31, 2001, on CIO-SP we had been awarded 183 delivery orders with an aggregate contract value of $271.5 million, making us the top prime contractor among the 20 CIO-SP prime contractors with respect to the number and dollar value of delivery orders won. Similarly, in the short time since the successor CIO-SP2i GWAC was awarded on December 19, 2000, we have won 36 of the 45 delivery orders that we have bid with an aggregate contract value of $283.8 million. As of February 22, 2002, we were first among the 48 prime contractors holding a CIO-SP2i contract with respect to the dollar value of delivery orders won.

Backlog
 
As of December 31, 2001, our backlog was $970.5 million, of which $160.9 million was funded. As of December 31, 2000, our backlog was $596.4 million, of which $143.7 million was funded. We define backlog to
include funded and unfunded orders for services under existing signed contracts, assuming the exercise of all options relating to those contracts that have been priced. We currently expect that approximately 13% of our total backlog as of December 31, 2001 will be recognized as revenues in the second half of fiscal 2002.
 
We define funded backlog to be the portion of backlog for which funding currently is appropriated and obligated to us under a contract or other authorization for payment signed by an authorized purchasing authority, less the amount of revenue we have previously recognized.

58


Table of Contents
 
We define unfunded backlog as the total value of signed contracts, less funding to date. Unfunded backlog includes all contract options that have been priced but not yet funded. Unfunded backlog does not take contract ceiling value into consideration, nor does it include any estimate of future potential delivery orders that might be awarded under indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity, GWAC or GSA schedule multiple award contract vehicles.
 
We cannot assure you that we will recognize any revenues from our backlog. The federal government has the prerogative to cancel any contract or delivery order at any time. Most of our contracts and delivery orders have cancellation terms that would permit us to recover all or a portion of our incurred costs and potential fees in such cases. Backlog varies considerably from time to time as current contracts or delivery orders are executed and new contracts or delivery orders under existing contracts are won.
 
Subcontractors
 
When we act as a prime contractor, as we typically do, we derive revenue either through our own work or through the efforts of our subcontractors. As part of the contract bidding process, we may enter into teaming agreements with subcontractors to enhance our ability to bid on large, complex engagements or to more completely address a particular client’s requirements. Teaming agreements and subcontracting relationships are useful because they permit us as a prime contractor to compete more effectively on a wider range of projects. In addition, we may engage a subcontractor to perform a discrete task on a project or a subcontractor may approach us because of our position as a prime contractor. When we are a prime contractor on an engagement, we are ultimately responsible for the overall engagement as well as the performance of our subcontractors.
 
Applied Research and Development and Intellectual Property
 
We have historically undertaken applied research and development initiatives to enhance our competitive position. We believe that the development of intellectual property is a significant factor in our success. For example, in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2001, we employed technologies that we have developed in engagements relating to text mining, data mining, gene expression analysis, intrusion detection, and multimedia data fusion. We have also successfully leveraged our intellectual property to create new companies targeted at commercial markets.
 
We perform research and development efforts largely in the area of natural language processing, applied text mining, data mining, information security, and other emerging technologies. We also leverage our intellectual property by integrating it into component technologies and vertical applications. We have recognized software licensing revenues from several applications that we have developed. Examples include:

Table of Contents
 
Some of our research and development investments have led to the formation of separate companies, including Mail2000, Inc., which provides software-based services to expedite the delivery of large volumes of mail, and Mantas, Inc., which provides services to the financial services industry to address anti-money laundering and other efforts. In February 2001, we sold our minority interest in Mail2000, recognizing a pre-tax gain of $11.8 million, including the reversal of the $900,000 accrual for probable losses under funding commitments we made to Mail2000, Inc. In May 2001, Mantas, which was previously one of our service offerings, was contributed to a separate company, Mantas, Inc., which we formed with funding and other contributions received from Safeguard Scientifics and the NASD. We have retained a non-controlling equity interest in Mantas, Inc.
 
We rely upon a combination of nondisclosure and other contractual arrangements and copyright, trademark, patent, and trade secret laws to protect our proprietary rights. We also enter into confidentiality and intellectual property agreements with all of our employees that require them to disclose any inventions created during employment, that convey all rights to inventions to us, and that restrict the distribution of proprietary information.
 
Clients
 
Our federal government clients typically exercise independent contracting authority, and even offices or divisions within an agency or department may directly, or through a prime contractor, use our services as a separate client so long as that client has independent decision-making and contracting authority within its organization. We consider each office or division within an agency or department, which directly or through a prime contractor, engages us, to be a separate client. Under the TIPSS-2 contract with the Internal Revenue Service, program managers throughout the Internal Revenue Service are able to purchase a wide range of our solutions. The Internal Revenue Service, our largest client group, accounted for approximately 11% of our revenues for the six months ended December 31, 2001. No other client or client group accounted for more than 10% of our revenues in fiscal 1999, 2000, or 2001 or the six months ended December 31, 2000 or 2001.
 
In our fiscal year ended June 30, 2001, federal government clients accounted for 93% of our revenues, with the remaining 7% attributable to commercial clients. In our fiscal year ended June 30, 2001, we derived 43% of our revenues from national security clients, 29% from health care and public health clients, 21% from civilian agencies and departments, and the remaining 7% from commercial clients. Since our inception in 1978, we have been engaged on approximately 5,500 projects. We currently support 11 of the 14 federal departments in the executive branch, all branches of the military services, the White House, and the judicial and legislative branches of the federal government. No single client engagement accounted for more than 5% of our revenue for fiscal 2001 or the six months ended December 31, 2001.

Sales and Marketing
 
We have a highly disciplined sales and marketing process that relies upon the business units addressing each of our target markets to further penetrate their existing accounts and our centralized federal sales and marketing organization to win new competitive procurements. Primary responsibility for selling additional services to existing clients, including client account build-out and capture of follow-on work, rests with our business units. Recognizing the importance of client account management, we assign entrepreneurial managers and executives to oversee our major accounts.
 
Primary responsibility for identifying, qualifying, bidding, and winning new competitive procurements, either for new clients or for large strategic new programs within existing clients, rests with our centralized federal sales and marketing organization. We have approximately 30 experienced sales and marketing professionals that perform client development, corporate communications, procurement support, pricing, and proposal development. Our sales and marketing organization works closely with their counterparts in our business units as we compete to win new business.

61


Table of Contents
 
Competition
 
We compete to win single award contracts and multiple award contracts, such as GWACs and GSA schedule contracts. After we have won a multiple award contract, we then compete for individual delivery orders under the contract. For example, GSA schedule contracts and prime contractor positions on GWACs are typically awarded to multiple contractors. A multiple award contract will list both the providers and the labor categories of products and services that can be performed under the contract. An individual agency that desires to obtain a service typically invites approved providers to compete based on technological expertise, resources, price, or some other basis. Because each of these contracts may provide for hundreds of delivery orders, the primary competition for this business is for delivery orders.
 
We compete with a variety of competitors in each of our three target markets and we encounter many of the same competitors in each market. These competitors include:
 
 
 
Federal systems integrators such as Affiliated Computer Services, Inc., American Management Systems, Incorporated, Anteon International Corporation, BoozŸAllen & Hamilton Inc., CACI International Inc., Computer Sciences Corporation, Electronic Data Systems Corporation, Science Applications International Corporation, Unisys Corporation, and Veridian Corporation;
 
 
 
Divisions of large defense contractors such as Lockheed Martin Corporation, Northrop Grumman Corporation, Raytheon Company, and TRW Inc.;
 
 
 
Consulting firms such as Accenture Ltd, KPMG Consulting, Inc., and PwC Consulting; and
 
 
 
Other smaller and specialized government information technology contractors.
 
Employees and Corporate Culture
 
Our success as an information technology services and solutions company is highly dependent on our employees. We believe we have been successful in developing a culture that enables our employees to succeed. We emphasize three essential attributes—an ethic of honesty and service, quality work and client satisfaction, and caring about our people. We reinforce these principles regularly in our recruiting process, training programs, proposals, company meetings, and internal communications. Our active recruiting effort is aligned with our strategic business units and relies heavily on employee referrals in addition to a variety of other recruiting methods. Our primary source of our new recruits is employee referrals, which accounted for approximately one-third of our new hires over the past five years. We have found these referrals to be a reliable source of excellent employees. As a result of our continued focus on our employees, we have been chosen by Fortune magazine as one of the “100 Best Companies to Work for in America” for each of 2000, 2001, and 2002.
 
As of January 31, 2002, we had over 2,100 employees. Approximately 50% of our employees have federal government security clearances. Approximately 94% of our employees are information technology and other professionals or managers and about 6% are administrative managers or support specialists. Our professional staff is highly educated, with approximately one-third holding advanced degrees. None of our employees is represented by collective bargaining agreements and we consider our relations with our employees to be good.
 
Facilities
 
We lease our office facilities and we do not own any facilities or real estate. We have leased our corporate headquarters at 4300 Fair Lakes Court in Fairfax, Virginia 22033 since 1991. Currently the two buildings comprising our headquarters are leased under separate leases with the same landlord. Both of our headquarters’ leases expire on December 31, 2015. We also lease facilities in Arlington, Falls Church, and Newport News, Virginia; Baltimore, Linthicum, New Carrollton, and Rockville, Maryland; Atlanta, Georgia; Durham, North Carolina; San Antonio, Texas; San Diego, California; Fairview Heights, Illinois; and Bremerton, Washington. In addition, we have employees who work on engagements at other smaller operating locations around the United States.

Legal Proceedings
 
From time to time, we are involved in various legal proceedings concerning matters arising in the ordinary course of business. We currently believe that any ultimate liability arising out of these proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position or results of operations.

The potential realizable value is calculated based on the term of the option at the time of grant. Assumed rates of stock price appreciation of 5% and 10% are prescribed by rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission and do not represent our prediction of our stock price performance. The potential realizable values at 5% and 10% appreciation are calculated by assuming that the exercise price on the date of grant appreciates at the indicated rate for the entire term of the option and that the option is exercised at the exercise price and sold on the last day of its term at the appreciated price.

There was no public trading market for our common stock as of June 30, 2001. Accordingly, as permitted by the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, we have calculated the value of unexercised in-the-money options at fiscal year-end on the basis of the fair market value of our common stock as of June 30, 2001 of $5.00 per share, as determined by the board of directors, less the aggregate exercise price.

Stock and Benefit Plans
 
1985 Key Employee Incentive Plan
 
Our original incentive plan provided for the grant of various types of stock awards, including incentive stock options intended to qualify under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code and nonqualified options. As of January 31, 2002, options to purchase 2,843,525 shares of class A common stock were outstanding under the 1985 plan. Following this offering, our board of directors has provided that no additional grants will be made under the 1985 plan.
 
1994 Stock Option Plan
 
Our 1994 stock option plan provided for the grant of incentive stock options intended to qualify under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code and nonqualified options. As of January 31, 2002, options to purchase 6,772,258 shares of class A common stock were outstanding under the 1994 plan. Following this offering, our board of directors has provided that no additional grants will be made under the 1994 plan.
 
2002 Stock Incentive Plan
 
Our 2002 stock incentive plan was adopted by our board of directors in March 2002 and approved by our stockholders in March 2002. Up to 6,000,000 shares of our class A common stock, subject to adjustment in the event of stock splits and other similar events, were reserved for issuance under the 2002 plan. To date, we have not granted any options under the 2002 plan. Pursuant to the terms of the 2002 plan, the number of shares authorized for issuance under the 2002 plan will automatically increase at the beginning of each fiscal year by a number equal to the lesser of (i) 3% of the outstanding shares of our class A common stock and class B common stock then outstanding, (ii) an amount determined by the board of directors, and (iii) 2,000,000 shares of class A common stock. The 2002 plan provides that no participant may be granted awards in excess of 500,000 shares of class A common stock in any calendar year.
 
The 2002 plan provides for the grant of incentive stock options intended to qualify under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code, nonqualified stock options, restricted stock awards and other stock-based awards.
 
Our officers, employees, directors, outside consultants and advisors and those of our subsidiaries are eligible to receive awards under the 2002 plan. Under present law, however, incentive stock options may only be granted to employees.
 
Optionees receive the right to purchase a specified number of shares of our common stock at a specified option price, subject to the terms and conditions of the option grant. We may grant options at an exercise price less than, equal to or greater than the fair market value of our common stock on the date of the grant. Under present law, incentive stock options and options intended to qualify as performance-based compensation under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code may not be granted at an exercise price less than the fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant, or less than 110% of the fair market value in the case of incentive stock options granted to optionees holding more than 10% of our voting power. The 2002 plan permits our board of directors to determine how optionees may pay the exercise price of their options, including by cash, check or in connection with a “cashless exercise” through a broker, by surrender of shares of common stock to us, or by any combination of the permitted forms of payment.
 
Our board of directors has authority to administer the 2002 plan. Our board of directors has the authority to adopt, amend and repeal the administrative rules, guidelines and practices relating to the 2002 plan and to interpret its provisions. It may delegate authority under the 2002 plan to one or more of our executive officers. Our board of directors has authorized the compensation committee to administer the 2002 plan, including the granting of options to our executive officers. Subject to any applicable limitations contained in the 2002 plan, our board of directors, our compensation committee or any other committee or executive officer to whom our board of directors delegates authority, as the case may be, selects the recipients of awards and determines:
 
 
 
the number of shares of common stock covered by options and the dates upon which such options become exercisable;

68


Table of Contents
 
 
 
the exercise price of options;
 
 
 
the duration of options; and
 
 
 
the number of shares of common stock subject to any restricted stock or other stock-based awards and the terms and conditions of such awards, including the conditions for repurchase, issue price, and repurchase price.
 
In the event of a merger, liquidation, or other acquisition event, all outstanding options or other stock-based awards under the 2002 plan may be assumed or substituted for by the acquiror. If the options are not assumed or substituted for by the acquiror, all unexercised options will become exercisable in full as of a specified period of time before the event and will terminate immediately prior to the event.
 
No award may be granted under the 2002 plan after March 2012, but the vesting and effectiveness of awards granted before those dates may extend beyond those date. Our board of directors may at any time amend, suspend, or terminate the 2002 plan.
 
401(k) Plan
 
We adopted an employee savings and retirement plan qualified under Section 401 of the Internal Revenue Code and covering all of our employees. Pursuant to the 401(k) plan, employees may elect to reduce their current compensation by up to the statutorily prescribed annual limit and have the amount of such reduction contributed to the 401(k) plan. We make matching contributions to the 401(k) plan, and may make discretionary and extra contributions in amounts determined annually by our board of directors. We contributed shares of class A common stock and cash to our 401(k) plan totaling approximately 124,750 shares of class A common stock and $794,305 in fiscal 1999, 156,405 shares of class A common stock and $1,221,177 in fiscal 2000, and 162,393 shares of class A common stock and $1,410,842 in fiscal 2001.
 
Deferred Compensation Plan for Key Employees
 
Some of our key employees are eligible to defer a specified percentage of their cash compensation by having it contributed to a nonqualified deferred compensation plan. Eligible employees may defer up to 25% of annual base salary and up to 50% of annual performance bonuses. We fund deferred contribution liabilities by making cash contributions to a trust at the time the salary or bonus being deferred would otherwise be payable to the employee. Employees can direct that these amounts be invested in a variety of third-party financial instruments. Gains or losses on amounts held in the trust are fully allocable to plan participants.

Repurchase of shares from senior executives and charities
 
We are party to an agreement with Dr. Volgenau, Mr. Brehm, Mr. Legasey, and two former executives who no longer own any shares of our common stock, that obligates us to purchase up to $200,000 in any calendar year of the common stock of each of Dr. Volgenau and Mr. Brehm and up to $75,000 in any calendar year of the common stock of Mr. Legasey. The purchase price per share for these purchases is the fair market value of the stock, as determined from time to time by our board of directors. These annual purchase requirements can be increased upon the agreement of Dr. Volgenau and Mr. Brehm. This agreement will be terminated upon the closing of this offering.
 
We have also maintained an informal internal repurchase program in which our stockholders, including our executive officers, are periodically offered the opportunity to sell shares of common stock to us. The purchase price per share in this program is the fair market value of the common stock as determined from time to time by our board of directors. We intend to discontinue this repurchase program after the closing of this offering.
 
The table below sets forth the dates, number of shares and price per share of each repurchase from our executive officers, directors and 5% stockholders since July 1, 1998. All repurchases were of class A common stock.

Life insurance policies and stock purchase agreements with chief executive officer and chairman
 
Pursuant to stock purchase agreements with each of Dr. Volgenau and Mr. Brehm, we are obligated to use the proceeds of term life insurance that we maintain on their respective lives to repurchase their respective shares of common stock upon their death. We have a similar informal arrangement with Mr. Legasey. The purchase price per share for these purchases is the fair market value of the stock, as most recently determined by our board of directors. The agreement has not in the past obligated us to maintain any specified level of insurance. From July 1, 1998 to June 2000, we maintained policies having a value of $40,000,000 on the life of Dr. Volgenau with aggregate annual premiums of $209,675 and a policy having a value of $20,000,000 on the life of Mr. Brehm with an annual premium of $156,275. These policies were cancelled when the current policies were purchased. Since June 2000, we have maintained policies having an aggregate value of $80,000,000 on the life of Dr. Volgenau, with aggregate annual premiums of $456,800; a policy having a value of $20,000,000 on the life of Mr. Brehm, with an annual premium of $211,660; and a policy having a value of $10,000,000 on the life of Mr. Legasey, with a premium of $17,600 per year. We are the sole beneficiary of each of these policies. These premiums are fixed until 2009.
We have recently amended the purchase agreements to provide that we will be obligated following this offering to maintain these life insurance policies through 2009. We have also agreed that, should these policies cease to be available before 2009, we will purchase and maintain life insurance policies providing the maximum coverage for the remainder of that period that can be purchased with the same overall annual premiums.
 
Option grants to non-employee directors and executive officers
 
Since July 1, 1998, we have granted options to purchase shares of our class A common stock at prices ranging from $4.63 to $5.97 to our executive officers and non-employee directors as set forth below pursuant to our 1994 stock option plan. These options all vest 25% per year over four years.

Policy on Future Transactions
 
For all future transactions, our board has adopted a policy that all transactions between our company and our officers, directors, principal stockholders and their affiliates must (i) be approved by a majority of the disinterested members of our board and (ii) be on terms no less favorable to us than could be obtained from unaffiliated third parties. In addition, any loans to our officers, directors, and other affiliates must be for bona fide business purposes only.

The following table sets forth certain information regarding beneficial ownership of our common stock as of January 31, 2002, by:
 
 
 
each person who beneficially owns more than 5% of the outstanding shares of our common stock;
 
 
 
each of our stockholders selling shares in this offering;
 
 
 
each of our directors;
 
 
 
each of our executive officers; and
 
 
 
all of our directors and executive officers as a group.
 
The percentages shown are based on 5,953,353 shares of class A common stock and 17,301,610 shares of class B common stock outstanding as of January 31, 2002 and              shares of class A common stock outstanding after this offering, including the              shares that are being offered for sale by us in this offering. Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and includes voting and investment power with respect to shares. The number of shares beneficially owned by a person includes shares subject to options held by that person that are currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days of January 31, 2002. The shares issuable under those options are treated as if they were outstanding for computing the percentage ownership of the person holding those options but are not treated as if they were outstanding for the purposes of computing the percentage ownership of any other person. Unless otherwise indicated below, to our knowledge, all persons named in the table have sole voting and investment power with respect to their shares of common stock, except to the extent authority is shared by spouses under applicable law.
 
Unless otherwise indicated, the address of each person owning more than 5% of the outstanding shares of common stock is c/o SRA International, Inc., 4300 Fair Lakes Court, Fairfax, VA 22033.

After completion of this offering, our authorized capital stock will consist of 300,000,000 shares of class A common stock, $0.004 par value per share, and 90,000,000 shares of class B common stock, $0.004 par value per share, and 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $0.20 par value per share. The following is a summary of the material features of our capital stock. For more detail, please see our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated by–laws to be effective after the completion of this offering, filed as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part.
 
Common Stock
 
As of January 31, 2002, there were 5,953,353 shares of class A common stock outstanding held by 89 stockholders of record and 17,301,610 shares of class B common stock outstanding held by two stockholders of record. Based upon the number of shares outstanding as of that date, and giving effect to the issuance of the shares of class A common stock offered by us in this offering, there will be              shares of class A common stock and 17,301,610 shares of class B common stock outstanding upon the completion of this offering. All of our class B common stock is beneficially held by Dr. Volgenau and Mr. Brehm.
 
Our common stock is divided into two classes, class A common stock and class B common stock. Holders of class A common stock and class B common stock have identical rights, except that holders of class A common stock are entitled to one vote per share held of record and holders of class B common stock are entitled to ten votes per share held of record on all matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders. The holders of class A common stock and the holders of class B common stock do not have cumulative voting rights. Directors are elected by a plurality of the votes of the shares present in person or by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote in such election. Subject to preferences that may be applicable to any outstanding preferred stock, holders of class A common stock and class B common stock are entitled to receive ratably such dividends, if any, as may be declared by the board of directors out of funds legally available to pay dividends. Upon our liquidation, dissolution, or winding up, the holders of class A common stock and class B common stock are entitled to receive ratably all assets after the payment of our liabilities, subject to the prior rights of any outstanding preferred stock. Holders of class A common stock and class B common stock have no preemptive, subscription, redemption, or conversion rights. They are not entitled to the benefit of any sinking fund. The outstanding shares of common stock are, and the shares of class A common stock offered by us in this offering will be, when issued and paid for, validly issued, fully paid, and nonassessable. The rights, powers, preferences, and privileges of holders of class A common stock and class B common stock are subject to the rights of the holders of shares of any series of preferred stock which we may designate and issue in the future.
 
Shares of class B common stock will convert automatically into a like number of shares of class A common stock as follows:
 
 
 
Upon the occurrence of any of the following events with respect to the original holder of such class B common stock, either Dr. Volgenau or Mr. Brehm as the case may be, all of the class B common stock originally held by him will automatically convert into class A common stock:
 
 
 
his death;
 
 
 
his being judicially declared legally incompetent or the appointment of a conservator, receiver, custodian, or guardian to supervise or control his financial affairs;
 
 
 
the later to occur of his having reached age 80 and his retirement from all positions with our company; or
 
 
 
the later to occur of his having reached the age of 80 and his ceasing to be affiliated with our company in any capacity as a result of a permanent physical disability.
 
 
 
In addition, any shares of class B common stock that are transferred after this offering will automatically convert into shares of class A common stock, except that either original holder of class B common stock may:

74


Table of Contents
 
 
 
transfer shares to a trust organized for the benefit of members of his family or for charitable purposes if he continues to control the trust after the transfer, subject to the shares later being automatically converted if an event described above occurs with respect to the original stockholder;
 
 
 
transfer shares to the other original holder; or
 
 
 
pledge shares to secure a bona fide loan, subject to the shares later being automatically converted if the pledgee forecloses on the shares.
 
Once converted to class A common stock, the class B common stock will be cancelled and not reissued. None of either the class A common stock or the class B common stock may be subdivided or combined unless the shares of the other class are subdivided or combined in the same proportion. The class B common stock is not being registered as part of this offering and currently we have no plans to do so in the future.
 
We may not make any dividend or distribution to any holder of either class of common stock unless simultaneously with such dividend or distribution we make the same dividend or distribution with respect to each outstanding share of the other class of common stock. In the case of a dividend or other distribution payable in shares of a class of common stock, including distributions pursuant to stock splits or divisions of common stock, only shares of class A common stock may be distributed with respect to class A common stock and only shares of class B common stock may be distributed with respect to class B common stock. Whenever a dividend or distribution, including distributions pursuant to stock splits or divisions of the common stock, is payable in shares of a class of common stock, the number of shares of each class of common stock payable per shares of such class of common stock shall be equal in number.
 
In the event of a merger or consolidation of our company with or into another entity (whether or not our company is the surviving entity), the holders of class A common stock shall be entitled to receive the same per-share consideration as the per-share consideration, if any, received by any holder of the class B common stock in such merger or consolidation.
 
No additional shares of class B common stock may be issued after this offering except in connection with a stock split or stock dividend on the class B common stock in which the class A common stock is similarly split or receives a similar dividend.
 
At present, there is no established trading market for the class A common stock. We intend to file an application to list our shares of the class A common stock on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “SRX.”
 
Preferred Stock
 
On the completion of this offering, the board of directors will be authorized, subject to any limitations prescribed by law, without further stockholder approval, to issue up to an aggregate of 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock. The preferred stock may be issued in one or more series and on one or more occasions. Each series of preferred stock shall have such number of shares, designations, preferences, voting powers, qualifications, and special or relative rights or privileges as the board of directors may determine. These rights and privileges may include, among others, dividend rights, voting rights, redemption provisions, liquidation preferences, conversion rights, and preemptive rights.
 
The issuance of preferred stock, while providing desirable flexibility in connection with possible acquisitions and other corporate purposes, could adversely affect the voting power or other rights of the holders of class A common stock. In addition, the issuance of preferred stock could make it more difficult for a third party to acquire us, or discourage a third party from attempting to acquire us.
 
Anti-Takeover Effects of Provisions of Delaware Law and Our Charter and By–Laws
 
We are subject to the provisions of Section 203 of the General Corporation Law of Delaware. Section 203 prohibits a publicly held Delaware corporation from engaging in a business combination with an interested

75


Table of Contents
stockholder for a period of three years after the date of the transaction in which the person became an interested stockholder, unless the business combination is approved in a prescribed manner. A business combination includes mergers, consolidations, asset sales, and other transactions involving SRA and an interested stockholder. In general, an interested stockholder is a person who, together with affiliates and associates, owns, or within three years did own, 15% or more of the corporation’s voting stock.
 
Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated by–laws to be effective upon the completion of this offering provide:
 
 
 
that the board of directors be divided into three classes, as nearly equal in size as possible, with staggered three–year terms;
 
 
 
that directors may be removed only for cause by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 75% of the combined voting power of the outstanding shares of our capital stock entitled to vote; and
 
 
 
that any vacancy on the board of directors, however occurring, including a vacancy resulting from an enlargement of the board, may only be filled by vote of a majority of the directors then in office.
 
The classification of the board of directors and the limitations on the removal of directors and filling of vacancies could have the effect of making it more difficult for a third party to acquire us, which could have the effect of discouraging a third party from attempting to do so.
 
Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated by–laws will also provide that:
 
 
 
any action required or permitted to be taken by the stockholders at an annual meeting or special meeting of stockholders may only be taken if it is properly brought before such meeting and class A common stockholders may not take action by written consent in lieu of a meeting;
 
 
 
special meetings of the stockholders may only be called by the chairman of the board of directors, the president, or by the board of directors; and
 
 
 
in order for any matter to be considered properly brought before a meeting, a stockholder must comply with requirements regarding advance notice to us.
 
These provisions could delay until the next stockholders’ meeting stockholder actions which are favored by the holders of a majority of our outstanding voting securities. These provisions may also discourage another person or entity from making a tender offer for our common stock, because such person or entity, even if it acquired a majority of our outstanding voting securities, would be able to take action as a stockholder (such as electing new directors or approving a merger) only at a duly called stockholders meeting, and not by written consent.
 
Delaware’s corporation law provides generally that the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares entitled to vote on any matter is required to amend a corporation’s certificate of incorporation or by-laws, unless a corporation’s certificate of incorporation or by-laws, as the case may be, requires a greater percentage. Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation requires the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 75% of the combined voting power of the outstanding shares of our capital stock entitled to vote to amend or repeal any of the foregoing provisions of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation. Generally, our amended and restated by-laws may be amended or repealed by a majority vote of the board of directors or the holders of a majority of the shares of our capital stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote. To amend our amended and restated by-laws regarding special meetings of stockholders, written actions of stockholders in lieu of a meeting, and the election, removal and classification of members of the board of directors requires the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 67% of the combined voting power of the outstanding shares of our capital stock entitled to vote. The stockholder vote would be in addition to any separate class vote that might in the future be required pursuant to the terms of any series preferred stock that might be outstanding at the time any such amendments are submitted to stockholders.

Limitation of Liability and Indemnification
 
Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that our directors and officers will be indemnified by us to the fullest extent authorized by Delaware law. This indemnification would cover all expenses and liabilities reasonably incurred in connection with their services for or on behalf of us. In addition, our amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that our directors will not be personally liable for monetary damages to us for breaches of their fiduciary duty as directors, unless they violated their duty of loyalty to us or our stockholders, acted in bad faith, knowingly or intentionally violated the law, authorized illegal dividends or redemptions, or derived an improper personal benefit from their action as directors.

Upon completion of this offering, we will have              shares of class A common stock and 17,301,610 shares of class B common stock outstanding assuming no exercise of outstanding options. Each share of class B common stock is convertible at any time, at the option of the holder, into one share of class A common stock. Each share of class B common stock shall convert automatically into one share of class A common stock upon transfer, with limited exceptions. Of these shares, the              shares to be sold in this offering will be freely tradable without restriction or further registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, except that any shares purchased by our affiliates, as that term is defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act, may generally only be sold in compliance with the limitations of Rule 144 described below.

In general, under Rule 144, a person, including an affiliate, who has beneficially owned shares for at least one year is entitled to sell, within any three-month period, a number of such shares that does not exceed the greater of (1) one percent of the then outstanding shares of common stock, or approximately              shares immediately after this offering, or (2) the average weekly trading volume in the common stock in the over-the-counter market during the four calendar weeks preceding the date on which notice of such sale is filed, provided specified requirements concerning availability of public information, manner of sale, and notice of sale have been satisfied. In addition, our affiliates must comply with the restrictions and requirements of Rule 144, other than the one-year holding period requirement, in order to sell shares of common stock which are not restricted securities.
 
Under Rule 144(k), a person who is not an affiliate and has not been an affiliate for at least three months prior to the sale and who has beneficially owned shares for at least two years may resell these shares without compliance with the foregoing requirements. In meeting the one-and two-year holding periods described above, a holder of shares can include the holding periods of a prior owner who was not an affiliate. The one-and two-year holding periods described above do not begin to run until the full purchase price or other consideration is paid by the person acquiring the shares from the issuer or an affiliate. Rule 701 provides that currently outstanding shares of common stock acquired under our employee compensation plans may be resold beginning 90 days after the date of this prospectus (1) by persons, other than affiliates, subject only to the manner of sale provisions of Rule 144, and (2) by affiliates under Rule 144 without compliance with its one-year minimum holding period, subject to certain limitations.
 
Stock Options
 
As of January 31, 2002, approximately 6,015,805 shares of class A common stock were issuable pursuant to vested options or pursuant to other rights granted under our stock option plans, of which approximately              shares are not subject to lock-up agreements with the underwriters.
 
We intend to file a registration statement on Form S-8 under the Securities Act following the date of this prospectus, to register up to 15,615,783 shares of class A common stock issuable under our stock plans, including the 9,615,783 shares of class A common stock subject to outstanding options as of January 31, 2002. This registration statement is expected to become effective upon filing.

The underwriting agreement provides that the obligations of the underwriters to purchase the shares included in this offering are subject to approval of legal matters by counsel and to other conditions. The underwriters are obligated to purchase all the shares, other than those covered by the over-allotment option described below, if they purchase any of the shares.
 
The underwriters propose to offer some of the shares directly to the public at the public offering price set forth on the cover page of this prospectus and some of the shares to dealers at the public offering price less a concession not to exceed $             per share. The underwriters may allow, and dealers may reallow, a concession not to exceed $             per share on sales to other dealers. If all of the shares are not sold at the initial offering price, the representatives may change the public offering price and the other selling terms. The representatives have advised us and the selling stockholders that the underwriters do not intend to confirm any sales to any accounts over which they exercise discretionary authority.
 
Some of our stockholders have granted to the underwriters an option, exercisable for 30 days from the date of this prospectus, to purchase up to              additional shares of class A common stock at the public offering price less the underwriting discount. The underwriters may exercise the option solely for the purpose of covering over-allotments, if any, in connection with this offering. To the extent the option is exercised, each underwriter must purchase a number of additional shares approximately proportionate to that underwriter’s initial purchase commitment.
 
We, our officers and directors, the selling stockholders, and some of our other stockholders have agreed that, for a period of 180 days from the date of this prospectus, we and they will not, without the prior written consent of Salomon Smith Barney, dispose of or hedge any shares of our class A common stock or any securities convertible into or exchangeable for our class A common stock, including our class B common stock. Salomon Smith Barney in its sole discretion may release any of the securities subject to these lock-up agreements at any time without notice.
 
At our request, the underwriters have reserved up to 5% of the shares of class A common stock for sale at the initial public offering price to persons who are directors, officers or employees, or who are otherwise associated with us through a directed share program. The number of shares of class A common stock available for sale to the general public will be reduced by the number of directed shares purchased by participants in the program. Any directed shares not purchased will be offered by the underwriters to the general public on the same basis as all other shares of class A common stock offered. We have agreed to indemnify the underwriters against certain liabilities and expenses, including liabilities under the Securities Act, in connection with the sales of the directed shares.

Prior to this offering, there has been no public market for our class A common stock. Consequently, the initial public offering price for the shares will be determined by negotiations among us, the selling stockholders and the representatives. Among the factors considered in determining the initial public offering price will be our record of operations, our current financial condition, our future prospects, our markets, the economic conditions in and future prospects for the industry in which we compete, our management, and currently prevailing general conditions in the equity securities markets, including current market valuations of publicly traded companies considered comparable to our company. We cannot assure you, however, that the prices at which the shares will sell in the public market after this offering will not be lower than the initial public offering price or that an active trading market in our class A common stock will develop and continue after this offering.
 
We will apply to have our class A common stock listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “SRX.” The underwriters have undertaken to sell shares of class A common stock to a minimum of 2,000 beneficial owners in lots of 100 or more shares to meet the New York Stock Exchange distribution requirements for trading.
 
The following table shows the underwriting discounts and commissions that we and the selling stockholders are to pay to the underwriters in connection with this offering. These amounts are shown assuming both no exercise and full exercise of the underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares of class A common stock.

In connection with the offering, Salomon Smith Barney on behalf of the underwriters, may purchase and sell shares of class A common stock in the open market. These transactions may include short sales, syndicate covering transactions, and stabilizing transactions. Short sales involve syndicate sales of class A common stock in excess of the number of shares to be purchased by the underwriters in the offering, which creates a syndicate short position. “Covered” short sales are sales of shares made in an amount up to the number of shares represented by the underwriters’ over-allotment option. In determining the source of shares to close out the covered syndicate short position, the underwriters will consider, among other things, the price of shares available for purchase in the open market as compared to the price at which they may purchase shares through the over-allotment option. Transactions to close out the covered syndicate short involve either purchases of the class A common stock in the open market after the distribution has been completed or the exercise of the over-allotment option. The underwriters may also make “naked” short sales of shares in excess of the over-allotment option. The underwriters must close out any naked short position by purchasing shares of class A common stock in the open market. A naked short position is more likely to be created if the underwriters are concerned that there may be downward pressure on the price of the shares in the open market after pricing that could adversely affect investors who purchase in the offering. Stabilizing transactions consist of bids for or purchases of shares in the open market while the offering is in progress.
 
The underwriters also may impose a penalty bid. Penalty bids permit the underwriters to reclaim a selling concession from a syndicate member when Salomon Smith Barney repurchases shares originally sold by that syndicate member in order to cover syndicate short positions or make stabilizing purchases.
 
Any of these activities may have the effect of preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of the class A common stock. They may also cause the price of the class A common stock to be higher than the price that would otherwise exist in the open market in the absence of these transactions. The underwriters may conduct these transactions on the New York Stock Exchange or in the over-the-counter market, or otherwise. If the underwriters commence any of these transactions, they may discontinue them at any time.

We estimate that our total expenses of this offering will be $             .
 
The underwriters may, from time to time, engage in transactions with and perform services for us in the ordinary course of their business.
 
A prospectus in electronic format may be made available on the websites maintained by one or more of the underwriters. The representatives may agree to allocate a number of shares to underwriters for sale to their online brokerage account holders. The representatives will allocate shares to underwriters that may make Internet distributions on the same basis as other allocations. In addition, shares may be sold by the underwriters to securities dealers who resell shares to online brokerage account holders.
 
We and the selling stockholders have agreed to indemnify the underwriters against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, or to contribute to payments the underwriters may be required to make because of any of those liabilities.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
 
To SRA International, Inc.:
 
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of SRA International, Inc. (a Delaware corporation), and Subsidiaries as of June 30, 2000 and 2001, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended June 30, 2001. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.
 
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of SRA International, Inc., and Subsidiaries as of June 30, 2000 and 2001, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended June 30, 2001, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
(Information as of December 31, 2001 and for the six months ended December 31, 2000
and 2001 is Unaudited)

 
1.    Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:
 
Principles of Consolidation
 
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of SRA International, Inc. (a Delaware corporation), and its wholly owned subsidiaries (SRA or the Company). All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. Investments in other companies in which the Company exerts significant influence but does not have a controlling interest are accounted for using the equity method of accounting.
 
Nature of Business
 
SRA is a leading provider of information technology services and solutions primarily to a wide variety of federal government clients in three principal markets: national security, health care and public health, and civil government. Since SRA’s founding in 1978, the Company has derived substantially all of its revenues from services provided to federal government clients, and SRA expects that services provided to federal government clients will continue to account for substantially all of its revenues.
 
Revenues from contracts funded by the federal government were 85 percent, 88 percent, and 93 percent of total revenues for the years ended June 30, 1999, 2000, and 2001, respectively, and 90 percent and 95 percent of total revenues for the six months ended December 31, 2000 and 2001, respectively. Revenues from contracts funded by the Department of Defense accounted for 41 percent, 43 percent, and 47 percent for the years ended June 30, 1999, 2000, and 2001, respectively, and 44 percent and 53 percent for the six months ended December 31, 2000 and 2001, respectively. Revenues from contracts funded by the Internal Revenue Service accounted for 11 percent of total revenues for the six months ended December 31, 2001. The Company had one contract in 1999 that individually represented more than 10 percent of consolidated revenues. This contract generated revenues of approximately $41,610,000 in 1999. No single contract represented more than 10 percent of revenues in any other period presented.
 
Interim Financial Information (Unaudited)
 
The interim financial information as of December 31, 2001 and for the six months ended December 31, 2000 and 2001, has been prepared by the Company without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and includes in the opinion of management all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of interim period results. The results of operations for the six months ended December 31, 2001 are not necessarily indicative of the results that could be expected for the full fiscal year 2002.
 
Accounting Estimates
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions in determining the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. See the Revenue Recognition section of this Note and Notes 2, 3, 7, 8, 9, and 10 for additional information on certain estimates included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Actual results may differ from estimates.

Revenue Recognition
 
Contract Accounting
 
SRA recognizes revenue as services are provided pursuant to its contracts depending on the type of contract. Revenues on cost-plus contracts are recognized to the extent of costs actually incurred plus a proportionate amount of the fee earned. SRA considers performance-based fees under cost-plus contracts to be earned only once the Company can demonstrate satisfaction of a specific performance goal or receives contractual notification from a client that such fee has been earned. SRA considers fixed fees under cost-plus contracts to be earned in proportion to the allowable costs actually incurred in performance of the contract. Revenues on time-and-materials contracts are recognized based on hours actually incurred at the negotiated contract billing rates, plus the costs of any allowable materials and out-of-pocket expenses. Revenues on fixed-price contracts are recognized using the percentage-of-completion method of contract accounting. The Company computes the percentage completed based on the percentage of costs incurred to date in relation to total estimated costs expected upon completion of the contract. Contract revenue recognition inherently involves estimation. Examples of estimates include the contemplated level of effort to accomplish the tasks under contract, the cost of the effort, and an ongoing assessment of progress toward completing the contract. The Company utilizes a number of management processes to monitor contract performance and revenue estimates, including monthly in-process reviews that cover, among other matters, outstanding action items, progress against schedule, effort and staffing, requirements stability, quality, risks and issues, subcontract management, costs, and commitments. From time to time, as part of the normal management processes, facts develop that require revisions to estimated total costs or revenues expected. The cumulative effect of any such revisions are recorded in the period in which the facts requiring revisions become known. The full amount of anticipated losses on any type of contract are recognized in the period in which they become known.
 
Disputes may arise in the normal course of the Company’s business on projects when the Company is contesting with customers for collection of funds because of events such as delays, changes in contract specifications, and questions of cost allowability or collectibility. Such disputes, whether claims or unapproved change orders in the process of negotiation, are recorded at the lesser of their estimated net realizable value or actual costs incurred, and only when realization is probable and can be reliably estimated. Claims against the Company are recognized where loss is considered probable and reasonably estimatable in amount.
 
Unbilled accounts receivable are stated at the lower of actual cost incurred plus accrued profits or net estimated realizable value of incurred costs, reduced by billings to date. It is the Company’s policy to provide reserves for the collectibility of accounts receivable when it is determined that it is probable that the Company will not collect all amounts due and the amount of the reserve requirements can be reasonably estimated.

Software Licensing and Related Activities
 
The Company grants software licenses to clients for the use of proprietary software products. License revenues are generally recognized upon shipment and delivery of the product, assuming no significant vendor obligations remain and that collection of the resulting receivable is probable. Revenues from software licenses were approximately $3,523,000, $4,316,000, and $3,527,000 for the years ended June 30, 1999, 2000, and 2001, respectively, and $1,927,000 and $637,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2000 and 2001, respectively. Pursuant to the terms of the individual license agreements, certain clients may have the option to return software products for a refund of the license fee plus certain other fees paid to the Company during the installation of the software. Refundable amounts are deferred and not recognized as revenue by the Company until the refund period ends. Revenues from implementation and other consulting services not subject to refund are recognized as the services are performed. The Company also derives revenue from the support and maintenance of its software products. Support and maintenance fees are usually paid in advance by clients and typically cover a 12-month period. Support and maintenance fees are deferred and recognized ratably over the term of the support and maintenance period. Revenues from support and maintenance fees were approximately $714,000, $1,424,000, and $1,957,000 for the years ended June 30, 1999, 2000, and 2001, respectively, and $961,000 and $1,183,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2000 and 2001, respectively.
 
Research and Development Costs
 
Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Total research and developments costs, which are included in selling, general, and administrative expenses, were $1,460,000, $1,278,000, and $2,947,000 for the years ended June 30, 1999, 2000, and 2001, respectively, and $1,191,000 and $1,256,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2000 and 2001, respectively.
 
Capitalized Software Development Costs
 
Software development costs for products are capitalized subsequent to the establishment of technological feasibility, as evidenced by detailed program designs, a product design, or a working model of the software product. Capitalization ceases when the products are available for general release to clients. Annual amortization is the greater of the amount computed using the ratio that current gross revenues for a product bear to total expected gross revenues for that product, or the amount computed using the straight-line method over the

estimated economic lives of the products (generally not to exceed three years). Amortization expense of approximately $2,872,000, $433,000, and $348,000 was recorded for the years ended June 30, 1999, 2000, and 2001, respectively, and $202,000 and $91,000 was recorded for the six months ended December 31, 2000 and 2001, respectively.
 
Internal-Use Computer Software
 
The Company capitalizes costs incurred to license and implement software for internal-use in accordance with Statement of Position 98-1, “Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use.” Such costs are amortized over periods ranging from three to five years. Internal-use software costs capitalized were $0, $165,000, and $2,262,000 for the years ended June 30, 1999, 2000, and 2001, respectively, and $1,132,000 and $540,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2000 and 2001, respectively.
 
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
 
Whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of long-lived assets, and other intangibles, may not be fully recoverable, the Company evaluates the probability that future undiscounted net cash flows, without interest charges, will be less than the carrying amount of the assets. If any impairment were indicated as a result of this review, the Company would recognize a loss based on the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the estimated discounted future cash flows.
 
Income Taxes
 
The Company utilizes the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax bases of existing assets and liabilities, less valuation allowances, if required. Enacted statutory tax rates are used to compute the tax consequences of these temporary differences. Historically, the Company’s deferred income taxes have resulted primarily from differences in the timing of income and expense recognition because the Company used the accrual method of accounting for financial reporting and the cash method of accounting for income tax reporting. In February 2002, the Company adopted the accrual method of accounting for income tax reporting. See Note 8 for additional disclosure with respect to this change in accounting method for income tax reporting purposes.
 
Employee Stock Options
 
Stock options granted to employees are accounted for using the intrinsic value method. Under this method, compensation cost is the excess, if any, of the fair value of the Company’s stock at grant date or other measurement date over the amount an employee must pay to acquire the stock. Income tax benefits attributable to nonqualified stock options exercised are credited to additional paid-in capital.
 
Deferred Compensation Plan
 
Certain employees of the Company are eligible to defer a specified percentage of their cash compensation by having it contributed to a nonqualified deferred compensation plan. Eligible employees may defer up to 25 percent of annual base salary and up to 50 percent of annual performance bonuses. The Company funds its

deferred compensation liabilities by making cash contributions to a Rabbi Trust at the time the salary or bonus being deferred would otherwise be payable to the employee. Gains or losses on amounts held in the Rabbi Trust are fully allocable to plan participants. As a result, there is no net impact on the Company’s results of operations, and the liability to plan participants is fully funded at all times.
 
Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
 
Property and Equipment
 
Property and equipment, including major additions or improvements thereto, are recorded at cost and depreciated over their estimated useful lives ranging from three to seven years using the straight-line method. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lesser of the lease term or the asset’s estimated useful life, but typically not exceeding seven years, using the straight-line method. Depreciation and amortization expense related to property and equipment, including capitalized internal-use computer software, was $5,720,000, $7,258,000, and $8,045,000, for the years ended June 30, 1999, 2000, and 2001, respectively, and $3,763,000 and $3,531,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2000 and 2001, respectively.
 
Concentration of Credit Risk and Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to credit risk consist primarily of cash equivalents and accounts receivable. The Company believes that concentrations of credit risk with respect to cash equivalents are limited due to the high credit quality and overnight nature of these investments. The Company believes that concentrations of credit risk with respect to accounts receivable are limited as they are primarily federal government receivables. At June 30, 2000 and 2001, and at December 31, 2001, the Company’s carrying value of financial instruments approximated fair value.
 
Earnings Per Share
 
Basic earnings per share (EPS) is computed by dividing reported net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted EPS considers the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock. The difference between basic and diluted weighted-average common equivalent shares with respect to the Company’s EPS calculation is due entirely to the assumed exercise of stock options. Since the six months ended December 31, 2000 reflect a net loss, basic and diluted earnings per share are calculated based on the same weighted-average number of shares outstanding.
 
New Accounting Pronouncements
 
In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, issued SFAS No. 133, as amended by SFAS Nos. 137 and 138, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.” This statement establishes accounting and reporting standards requiring that every derivative instrument, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, be recorded on the balance sheet as either an asset or liability

F-12

SRA INTERNATIONAL, INC., AND SUBSIDIARIES

measured at its fair value. SFAS No. 133 requires that changes in the derivative’s fair value be recognized currently in earnings unless specific hedge accounting criteria are met. SFAS No. 133 is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. The Company engages in minimal derivative activity and therefore adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
 
In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141, “Business Combinations,” and SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangibles.” These statements were effective July 1, 2001 for the Company. Upon adoption, there was no impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial position. Future business combinations (see Note 12) must now be accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. Goodwill that results from any business combination will no longer be subject to amortization. Rather, such goodwill will be subject to an impairment test conducted at least annually. The adoption of this new standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
 
In July 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 143, “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations.” SFAS No. 143 requires that the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation be recognized in the period in which it is incurred, if a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made. The associated asset retirement cost would be capitalized as part of the carrying amount of the long-lived asset. SFAS No. 143 will be effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002. The adoption of this new standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
 
In October 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,” which replaces SFAS No. 121. SFAS No. 144 requires that long-lived assets be measured at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell, whether reported in continuing operations or in discontinued operations. SFAS No. 144 also broadens the reporting of discontinued operations to include all components of an entity with operations that can be distinguished from the rest of the entity and that will be eliminated from the ongoing operations of the entity in a disposal transaction. The provisions of SFAS No. 144 are effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. The adoption of this new standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

Consistent with industry practice, certain receivables related to long-term contracts and programs are classified as current, although a portion of these amounts is not expected to be realized within one year. Unbilled accounts receivable at June 30, 2001 and December 31, 2001, are expected to be collected within one year except for approximately $2.8 million and $3.1 million, respectively. This amount generally relates to a portion of retainages and indirect rates incurred and charged to cost-plus contracts in excess of provisional billing rates. These amounts will be billable upon completion of the government’s audit of the indirect rates for those years in which the related contracts were in process.

In August 2001, the Company entered into a $60 million credit facility (the New Agreement) that expires on December 31, 2003. The initial commitment under this facility is $40 million and the Company has the option, provided no event of default under the New Agreement exists, of increasing the amount committed in two increments of $10 million. The Company may use this facility for general corporate purposes including working capital financing, capital purchases, acquisitions, and stock repurchases. Amounts that can be outstanding on the facility are limited to a borrowing base tied to the Company’s accounts receivable balances. The borrowing base exceeded the $40 million commitment at December 31, 2001. The New Agreement contains customary covenants and requires that specified financial ratios be maintained. The financial ratios include a maximum debt-to-cash-flow ratio, a minimum cash-flow-to-fixed-charge-coverage ratio, and a maximum debt-to-equity threshold. The New Agreement is unsecured as long as specified financial ratios are met, which as of December 31, 2001, was the case. The Company may elect to pay interest at either the prime rate of its bank or its bank’s London interbank offered rate (LIBOR) index plus a margin that is determined quarterly based on the Company’s debt-to-cash flow ratio.
 
On February 28, 2002, the Company made income tax payments of approximately $22.3 million upon the Company’s change to the accrual method of accounting for income tax reporting purposes (see Note 8). A substantial portion of these payments resulted in borrowings under our credit facility.
 
The outstanding revolving line of credit balance and the equipment loan balance under the Company’s old credit facility (the Old Agreement) were transferred to the New Agreement concurrent with closing. The term loan (the Term Loan) entered into under the Old Agreement remains in place, subject to the general terms and conditions of the New Agreement. The Term Loan interest rate is fixed at 6.89 percent, is payable in quarterly installments of $400,000, and matures on July 1, 2003.
 
The average revolving line of credit interest rate was 6.3 percent, 6.3 percent, and 7.0 percent for the years ended June 30, 1999, 2000, and 2001, respectively, and 7.7 percent and 4.9 percent for the six months ended December 31, 2000 and 2001, respectively. Total interest expense under all credit facilities was $1,208,000, $703,000, and $879,000 for the years ended June 30, 1999, 2000, and 2001, respectively, and $466,000 and $150,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2000 and 2001, respectively. The maximum revolving line of credit balance was $21,554,000, $10,847,000, and $20,365,000 for the years ended June 30, 1999, 2000, and 2001, respectively, and $14,546,000 and $12,620,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2000 and 2001,

respectively. The average monthly revolving line of credit balance outstanding was approximately $8,723,000, $2,256,000, and $7,003,000 for the years ended June 30, 1999, 2000, and 2001, respectively, and $6,708,000 and $1,567,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2000 and 2001, respectively.

6.    Benefit Plan:
 
The Company maintains a defined contribution plan, the SRA International, Inc. 401(k) Savings Plan (the Plan). All regular and full-time employees are generally eligible to participate. The board of directors of SRA may elect to make matching contributions to the Plan. The Company’s matching contribution expense was approximately $1,610,000, $2,350,000, and $2,768,000 for the years ended June 30, 1999, 2000, and 2001, respectively, and $1,153,000 and $2,041,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2000 and 2001, respectively, including the value of the stock described in the next paragraph. The matching contribution expense for the six months ended December 31, 2001 was approximately $509,000 higher than expected because the value per share of the shares contributed by the Company to the Plan was higher on the contribution date than when the original per-share determination was made.
 
Plan participants may elect to receive all the matching contributions in cash; otherwise 50 percent of the matching contributions are made in the form of Company stock. Matching contributions are earned by participants on the basis of their calendar year contributions to the Plan. The Company makes the matching contributions, including the transfer of Class A common stock, each January for participant contributions made during the previous calendar year. The Company contributed 124,750, 156,405, and 162,393 shares of Class A common stock to the Plan during the years ended June 30, 1999, 2000, and 2001, respectively.
 
7.    Stockholders’ Equity and Stock Options:
 
Preferred Stock
 
The Company is authorized to issue 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $0.20 par value per share, the terms and conditions of which are determined by the board of directors at each issuance. No preferred stock has been issued as of December 31, 2001.
 
Common Stock
 
Holders of Class A common stock are entitled to dividends per share in an amount equal to dividends per share declared and paid on Class B common stock. Holders of both classes of common stock vote as a single class, with each share of Class A common stock having one vote per share and each share of Class B common stock having ten votes per share. Holders of both classes of common stock would share ratably in the net assets of the Company upon its liquidation or dissolution.

Treasury Stock
 
The Company has purchased common stock in each of the periods presented in the accompanying financial statements. These treasury stock transactions reflect the Company’s historical practice of purchasing up to a specified number of shares approved by the board of directors at the then fair market value. The Company retains an independent valuation firm to assist the board of directors in assessing the fair value of the stock. Only shares held by stockholders for more than six months are eligible to be purchased by the Company under this limited stock repurchase plan. Additionally, the Company’s stock options allow employees to have shares withheld to pay their minimum tax withholding due upon exercise of nonqualified stock options.
 
Stock Options
 
The Company maintains a key employee incentive plan that was approved by the Company’s stockholders in November, 1994. All options granted by the Company since November 1994 have been granted under this plan. Under the terms of the plan, options to purchase Class A common stock or Class B common stock may be granted by the board of directors to key employees. The option price per share is determined by the board of directors and generally will be no less than the fair value of the stock on the date of grant of the option. The Company retains an independent valuation firm to assist the board of directors in assessing the fair value of the stock. Each option is exercisable within periods and in increments determined by the board of directors. A total of 25,000,000 shares of Class A common stock have been made available for issuance of options. This number may be adjusted at the discretion of the board of directors. Additionally, if an employee exercises his or her option to purchase common stock, the Company has a right of repurchase at fair value upon termination of employment and a fair value right of first refusal in the event an employee offers to sell his or her stock to another party. These rights will cease upon the Company becoming publicly-traded and are designed such that under no circumstances would the Company be required to repurchase shares held by an employee for less than six months.
 
The Company recognized compensatory stock option expense of $112,000 and $823,000 on stock options issued below fair market value or upon modification of option terms in the year ended June 30, 1999 and in the six months ended December 31, 2001, respectively. Options to purchase 164,000 shares of Class A common stock with an exercise price of $5.97 were granted in December 2001. Deferred compensation of $415,000 as of December 31, 2001 will be expensed over the four-year vesting period of the related options. In 2002, the Company adopted the SRA International, Inc. 2002 Stock Incentive Plan. Up to 6,000,000 shares of class A common stock were reserved for issuance under the 2002 plan. The 2002 plan provides for the grant of incentive stock options, non-statutory stock options, restricted stock, and other stock-based awards. The 2002 plan is administered by the board of directors or a committee of the board of directors, which shall determine the number of shares covered by options, the exercise price, the vesting period, and the duration of such option grants. The board of directors also has the authority under the 2002 plan to determine the number of shares of common stock subject to any restricted stock or other stock-based awards and the terms and conditions of such awards. The 2002 plan expires in March 2012. No awards have been granted under the 2002 plan.

The Company has 10-year and 15-year options. For disclosure purposes, the fair value of each option is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes (Minimum Value) option-pricing model. The following weighted-average assumptions were used for option grants during the years ended June 30, 1999, 2000, and 2001, and the six months ended December 31, 2000 and 2001, respectively: dividend yield of 0 percent (as the Company has not paid dividends in the past), expected volatility of 0 percent (as the Company has been privately held), expected average lives of 6 years, 6 years, 5 years, 5 years, and 5 years (based on the Company’s experience), and risk-free interest rates of 6.0 percent, 6.1 percent, 5.4 percent, 5.1 percent and 5.0 percent. The weighted-average fair value of the stock options granted for the years ended June 30, 1999, 2000, and 2001, was $1.28, $1.60, and $1.19, respectively. The weighted-average fair value of the stock options granted for the six months ended December 31, 2000 and 2001, was $1.28, and $3.64, respectively.
 
Using the Black-Scholes model, the total value of the options granted for the years ended June 30, 1999, 2000, and 2001, was $3,169,000, $4,139,000, and $1,185,000, respectively, and for the six months ended December 31, 2000 and 2001, was $34,000 and $652,000, respectively, which would be amortized over a four-year vesting period. Had compensation cost for the Company’s stock-based compensation plans been determined based on the fair value method of accounting, the Company’s pro forma net income (loss) would have been $7,048,000, $4,671,000, and $4,586,000, for the years ended June 30, 1999, 2000, and 2001, respectively, and $(4,980,000) and $1,879,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2000 and 2001, respectively. The basic earnings (loss) per share would have been $0.30, $0.20, and $0.20, for the years ended June 30, 1999, 2000, and 2001, respectively, and $(0.22) and 0.08 for the six months ended December 31, 2000 and 2001, respectively. Diluted earnings (loss) per share would have been $0.24, $0.16, and $0.16, for the years ended June 30, 1999, 2000, and 2001, respectively, and $(0.22) and 0.07 for the six months ended December 31, 2000 and 2001, respectively.
 
Class B Purchase Agreements
 
The Company retains term life insurance policies on the lives of certain executives. Expenses recognized under these policies were $366,000, $382,000, and $651,000 for the years ended June 30, 1999, 2000, and 2001, respectively, and $313,000 and $311,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2000 and 2001. Upon death, the Company will use any proceeds to redeem shares of common stock held by the estate of the decedent at the fair market value determined by the board of directors. The Company has not been obligated to maintain any specified level of insurance. The Company expects to amend the agreements with the executives, and will be obligated to maintain these life insurance policies through 2009. Shares not redeemed with the insurance proceeds may, at the Company’s option, be redeemed by the Company to the extent permitted by the Company’s then available borrowing capacity, applicable law, and the Company’s contractual restrictions.

SRA INTERNATIONAL, INC., AND SUBSIDIARIES
 
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)
 
(Information as of December 31, 2001 and for the six months ended December 31, 2000
and 2001 is Unaudited)

 
On February 28, 2002, SRA executed a Closing Agreement and Final Determination with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) that settled all outstanding issues raised by the IRS with respect to an audit of the Company’s June 30, 1996 tax return. The primary issue related to the Company’s use of the cash receipts and disbursements method of accounting for income tax purposes. The IRS asserted that the Company did not qualify to use this method of accounting. While the Company disagreed with the IRS on this matter, in order to bring the matter to closure, SRA agreed to convert from the cash method to the accrual method effective July 1, 2000. As part of the settlement, the IRS accepted the Company’s use of the cash method for tax returns filed through June 30, 2000. The effect of this change requires that the Company pay deferred federal and state income taxes, plus interest accrued from September 24, 2001 to February 28, 2002. On February 28, 2002, the Company paid the federal portion of these taxes totaling $18.6 million, plus interest of $538,000. The Company also paid $3.2 million of state taxes representing substantially all of the required additional state tax payments.
 
The conversion to the accrual method of reporting taxable income results in the recognition of additional deferred income tax assets. Had the Company adopted the accrual method as of December 31, 2001, net deferred income taxes and income taxes payable would have compared to actual results as follows (unaudited, in thousands):

Amounts paid to the IRS upon settlement exceed pro forma income taxes payable due to interest and temporary differences.
 
SRA had previously established a reserve of approximately $2.6 million (see Note 3) relating to the estimated probable interest on the tax liability. The provision for this accrual is reflected in other expense in the statement of operations. This reserve now exceeds the amount of actual and estimated interest payments, and as a result the Company will reverse the excess reserve of approximately $1.8 million after making the remainder of the state tax and interest payments. This reversal will be reflected in other income in the statement of operations in the quarter ending March 31, 2002.
 
9.    Commitments and Contingencies:
 
Government Contracting
 
Payments to the Company on cost-plus contracts are provisional and are subject to adjustment upon audit by the Defense Contract Audit Agency. Audits through June 30, 1999 have been completed. In the opinion of management, audit adjustments resulting from audits for the years ended June 30, 2000 and 2001 and for the six months ended December 31, 2001 are not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
 
Additionally, federal government contracts, by their terms, generally can be terminated at any time by the federal government, without cause, for the convenience of the federal government. If a federal government contract is so terminated, SRA would be entitled to receive compensation for the services provided and costs incurred through the time of termination, plus a negotiated amount of profit. Federal government contractors who fail to comply with applicable government procurement-related statutes and regulations may be subject to potential contract termination, suspension and debarment from contracting with the government, or other remedies.

Leases for certain office space entitle the Company to rent abatements pursuant to its lease agreements. The rent abatements are amortized as reductions in rent expense over the term of the affected leases. Certain lease commitments will be subject to adjustment based on changes in the Consumer Price Index.
 
Litigation
 
The Company is involved in various legal proceedings concerning matters arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company currently believes that any ultimate liability arising out of these proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
 
10.    Gain on Investments:
 
In February 2001, the Company recognized a pre-tax gain of $11,776,000 on the sale of its minority interest in Mail2000, Inc. Approximately $900,000 of this gain related to amounts previously accrued by the Company for probable losses under funding commitments by the Company to Mail2000, Inc. The Company deferred recognition of contingent gains attributable to the portion of its sales proceeds that were deposited in escrow to

cover certain contingencies. In the six months ended December 31, 2001, an additional pre-tax gain of $373,000 was recognized when the Company received its portion of proceeds from the settlement of the first of two issues for which funds were escrowed. Additionally, the Company indemnified the purchasers of Mail2000, Inc. against certain possible future losses, the amount of which, if any, is generally limited to 50 percent of the proceeds received by the Company. To date, no losses indemnified by the Company have been asserted by the purchasers and management believes that the probability of loss pursuant to the indemnification is remote.
 
On May 24, 2001, the Company, together with two third party investors, formed Mantas, Inc. (Mantas). The Company transferred people, contracts, and intellectual property rights to Mantas that had no net book value to the Company. The Company holds a non-controlling equity interest in Mantas. The results of Mantas service offerings through May 24, 2001 are included in the Company’s consolidated results of operations. After May 24, 2001, the Company accounted for its investment in Mantas, Inc. using the equity method of accounting. The May 24, 2001 transaction was expected to occur on or about January 1, 2001, however, the closing was delayed and the Company elected to fund Mantas’ ongoing operations with the understanding that costs incurred by Mantas from January 1, 2001 through closing would be reimbursed by Mantas, when funded. The Company also agreed to pay Mantas for revenues recognized from January 1, 2001 until the transaction closed. Subsequent to May 24, 2001, Mantas reimbursed the Company for approximately $9.9 million attributable to costs paid by the Company and the Company paid Mantas approximately $3.4 million attributable to revenue earned by the Company on Mantas contracts. This results in a net reimbursement to the Company of approximately $6.5 million.
 
Since May 24, 2001 (Closing), Mantas has utilized certain services provided by the Company. Mantas reimburses the Company for the cost of such services. Mantas leases space from the Company and receives other support services related to its occupancy. Sublease income and amounts due for other support services provided were approximately $917,000 from Closing through December 31, 2001. The Company also allows Mantas to obtain certain travel and insurance-related services utilizing the Company's existing relationships with vendors. The total of such services received by Mantas was approximately $754,000 from Closing through December 31, 2001. Additionally, the Company provides labor services when requested by Mantas to support its administrative and client support activities. Approximately $656,000 of such labor services were provided from Closing through December 31, 2001. At December 31, 2001, amounts due from Mantas for all services utilized were approximately $246,000, which amounts were subsequently paid by Mantas to the Company.
 
The Company has also made certain performance guarantees to Mantas customers. Management believes that the Company’s potential for loss under these commitments is remote.
 
11.    Segment Reporting:
 
Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker, or decision making group, in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. SRA reports three operating segments – Consulting & Systems Integration (C&SI), Emerging Technologies (ET), and Legal Systems Integration (LSI). The C&SI segment focuses on the Company’s three principal markets: national security, health care and public heath, and civil government. The ET segment performs advanced technology research and development and manages and maintains the Company’s proprietary software product offerings. The LSI segment consists of the Company’s prior legal systems integration business, that was closed as of December 31, 2000. The portion of selling, general, and administrative expenses that relate to corporate support functions are allocated to segments

based on the ratio of segment labor expense to total labor expense, exclusive of corporate selling, general, and administrative labor expense. The total amount of corporate selling, general, and administrative expense allocated to segments was $36.5 million, $36.9 million, and $37.2 million for the years ended June 30, 1999, 2000, and 2001, respectively, and $18.9 million and $16.7 million for the six months ended December 31, 2000 and 2001, respectively. The Company only tracks accounts receivable by segment. No other assets are specifically assigned to a segment.

12.    Subsequent Event:
 
In January 2002, the Company acquired, by merger, all of the outstanding stock of The Marasco Newton Group, Ltd. (Marasco Newton). An initial payment of approximately $6.2 million was made to Marasco Newton stockholders, with another $1.0 million deposited in escrow to secure indemnification obligations of Marasco Newton. Management believes that approximately $5.0 million of the initial payment will be allocated to identifiable intangibles and goodwill. In connection with the acquisition, the Company assumed debt of approximately $5.2 million. Approximately $9.1 million of additional purchase price may become due to Marasco Newton stockholders in the future if Marasco Newton achieves specified operating results and additions to contract backlog. These additional payments, if any, are expected to be made in two parts between March 1, 2003 and June 30, 2003. Had the Company acquired Marasco Newton at July 1, 2000, its actual results of operations would not have been significant to the Company’s consolidated results of operations.

Item 14.     Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
 
Article SEVENTH of the Registrant’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Restated Certificate”) provides that, except to the extent prohibited by the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”), the Registrant’s directors shall not be personally liable to the Registrant or its stockholders for monetary damages for any breach of fiduciary duty as directors of the Registrant. Under the DGCL, the directors have a fiduciary duty to the Registrant which is not eliminated by this provision of the Restated Certificate and, in appropriate circumstances, equitable remedies such as injunctive or other forms of nonmonetary relief will remain available. In addition, each director will continue to be subject to liability under the DGCL for breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to the Registrant, for acts or omissions which are found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be not in good faith or involving intentional misconduct, for knowing violations of law, for actions leading to improper personal benefit to the director, and for payment of dividends or approval of stock repurchases or redemptions that are prohibited by the DGCL. This provision also does not affect the directors’ responsibilities under any other laws, such as the federal securities laws or state or federal environmental laws. The Registrant has obtained liability insurance for its officers and directors.
 
Article EIGHTH of the Registrant’s Restated Certificate provides that the Registrant shall indemnify (a) each person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the Registrant), by reason of the fact that such person is or was, or has agreed to become, a director or officer of the Registrant, or is or was serving, or has agreed to serve, at the request of the Registrant, as a director, officer, partner, employee or trustee of, or in a similar capacity with, another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise (all such persons being referred to hereafter as an “Indemnitee”), or by reason of any action alleged to have been taken or omitted in such capacity, against all expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person or on such person’s behalf in connection with such action, suit or proceeding and any appeal therefrom, if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the

best interests of the Registrant, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had not reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful and (b) any Indemnitee who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the Registrant to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he is or was, or has agreed to become, a director or officer of the Registrant, or is or was serving, or has agreed to serve, at the request of the Registrant, as a director, officer, partner, employee or trustee of, or in a similar capacity with, another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise (including any employee benefit plan), or by reason of any action alleged to have been taken or omitted in such capacity, against all expenses (including attorneys’ fees) and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him or on his behalf in connection with such action, suit or proceeding and any appeal therefrom, if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Registrant, except that no indemnification shall be made with respect to any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the Registrant, unless a court determines that, despite such adjudication but in view of all of the circumstances, he is entitled to indemnification of such expenses (including attorneys’ fees) which the court deems proper. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that an Indemnitee has been successful, on the merits or otherwise, including, without limitation, the dismissal of an action without prejudice, he will be indemnified by the Registrant against all expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred in connection therewith. Expenses shall be advanced to an Indemnitee at his request, provided that he undertakes to repay the amount advanced if it is ultimately determined that he is not entitled to indemnification for such expenses.
 
Indemnification is required to be made unless the Registrant determines that the applicable standard of conduct required for indemnification has not been met. In the event of a determination by the Registrant that the director or officer did not meet the applicable standard of conduct required for indemnification, or if the Registrant fails to make an indemnification payment within 60 days after such payment is claimed by such person, such person is permitted to petition the court to make an independent determination as to whether such person is entitled to indemnification. As a condition precedent to the right of indemnification, the director or officer must give the Registrant notice of the action for which indemnity is sought and the Registrant has the right to participate in such action or assume the defense thereof.
 
Article EIGHTH of the Registrant’s Restated Certificate further provides that the indemnification provided therein is not exclusive.
 
The Registrant has purchased directors’ and officers’ liability insurance that would indemnify its directors and officers against damages arising out of certain kinds of claims that might be made against them based on their negligent acts or omissions while acting in their capacity as such.
 
The Underwriting Agreement provides that the Underwriters are obligated, under certain circumstances, to indemnify directors, officers and controlling persons of the Company against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). Reference is made to the form of Underwriting Agreement to be filed as Exhibit 1.1 hereto.
 
At present, there is no pending litigation or proceeding involving any director, officer, employee or agent as to which indemnification will be required or permitted under the Restated Certificate. The Registrant is not aware of any threatened litigation or proceeding that may result in a claim for such indemnification.
 
Item 15.    Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities.
 
Since March 1, 1999, the Registrant has issued the following securities that were not registered under the Securities Act as summarized below.
 
Since March 1, 1999, the Registrant has issued options to purchase a total of 5,680,730 shares of its class A common stock at exercise prices ranging from $4.01 to $5.97 per share to employees and directors pursuant to the Registrant’s 1994 Stock Option Plan. From March 1, 1999 to March 1, 2002, optionees have exercised

4,626,210 options at a weighted-average exercise price of $0.71.
 
No underwriters were involved in the foregoing sales of securities. Such sales were made in reliance upon an exemption from the registration provisions of the Securities Act set forth in Section 4(2) thereof relative to sales by an issuer not involving any public offering or the rules and regulations thereunder or Rule 701 of the Securities Act. The purchasers in each case represented their intention to acquire the securities for investment only and not with a view to the distribution thereof. Appropriate legends were affixed to the stock certificates issued in such transactions. All of the foregoing securities are deemed restricted securities for the purposes of the Securities Act.
 
Since March 1, 1999, the Registrant has issued 545,113 shares of its class A common stock to its 401(k) plan through matching contributions and discretionary and extra contributions as determined by its board of directors. These issuances were not sales within the meaning of the Securities Act.

Item 17.    Undertakings.
 
The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes to provide to the underwriters at the closing specified in the underwriting agreement, certificates in such denominations and registered in such names as required by the underwriters to permit prompt delivery to each purchaser.
 
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the Delaware General Corporation Law, the Restated Certificate of the Registrant, the underwriting agreement, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered hereunder, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
 
The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that:
 
 
(1)
 
For purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this Registration Statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the Registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4), or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this Registration Statement as of the time it was declared effective.
 
 
(2)
 
For purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall be deemed to be a new Registration Statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

To SRA International, Inc.:
 
We have audited, in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States, the financial statements of SRA International, Inc. included in this registration statement and have issued our report thereon dated February 28, 2002. Our audit was made for the purposes of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole. This schedule is the responsibility of the Company’s management and is presented for purposes of complying with the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and is not part of the basic financial statements. This schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, fairly states in all material respects the financial data required to be set forth in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.
