SYS AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
 
1. Basis of Financial Statement Preparation and Significant Accounting Policies:

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial information of SYS and its subsidiaries (SYS or the Company) should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes to consolidated financial statements contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2006 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The accompanying unaudited condensed financial information includes all subsidiaries on a consolidated basis and all normal recurring adjustments which are considered necessary by the Company's management for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. However, these results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full fiscal year. All of the Company’s operations are primarily conducted in the United States.

The Company’s fiscal year is from July 1 through June 30.  The Company uses the 5-4-4 weeks per period method for each quarter; periods one (July) and twelve (June) may vary slightly in the actual number of days due to the beginning and end of each fiscal year.

Use of Estimates:
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States (US GAAP) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. In the future, the Company may realize actual results that differ from the current reported estimates.  The Company’s significant estimates include those related to revenues and customer billings, recovery of indirect costs, allowance for doubtful accounts, valuation of long-lived assets including identifiable intangibles and goodwill, accounting for income taxes including any related valuation allowance, contingencies, and share-based compensation.
 
Indirect Expense Rate Variance:
 
For interim reporting purposes, SYS applies overhead and selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of direct contract costs based on annual budgeted indirect expense rates. To the extent actual expenses for an interim period are greater than the budgeted rates, the variance is deferred if management believes it is probable that the variance will be absorbed by future contract activity. This probability assessment includes projecting whether future indirect costs will be sufficiently less than the annual budgeted rates or can be absorbed by seeking increased billing rates applied on cost-plus-fee contracts. At the end of each interim reporting period, management assesses the recoverability of any amount deferred to determine if any portion should be charged to expense. In assessing the recoverability of variances deferred, management takes into consideration estimates of the amount of direct labor and other direct costs to be incurred in future interim periods, the feasibility of modifications for provisional billing rates, and the likelihood that an approved increase in provisional billing rates can be passed along to a customer. Variances are charged to expense in the periods in which it is determined that such amounts are not probable of recovery. As of March 30, 2007, the favorable rate variance totaled $.2 million.

Reclassifications:

Certain amounts in the prior period financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current period financial statement presentation. In particular, allocable overhead costs that were previously reported for the three and nine month period ended March 31, 2006 as costs of revenues were reclassified to selling, general and administrative expenses in the amount of $0.3 million and $0.6 million, respectively, for the three and nine month periods and to research, engineering and development expenses in the amount of $0.2 million and $0.3 million, respectively, for the three and nine month periods. Additionally, $0.2 million of cash flows related to the Company’s Employee Stock Purchase Plan previously classified as financing activities for the nine months ended March 31, 2006 were reclassified to operating activities. The Company believes these reclassifications were immaterial to the overall presentation of the accompanying financial statements.

2. New Accounting Pronouncements:

In July 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48 (FIN No. 48), “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes”, which prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement process for recording in the financial statements uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Additionally, FIN No. 48 provides guidance on the recognition, classification, accounting in interim periods and disclosure requirements for uncertain tax positions. The accounting provisions of FIN No. 48 will be effective July 1, 2007 and the Company is in the process of determining the effect, if any, the adoption of FIN No. 48 will have on its financial condition or results of operations.

In September 2006, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 157 (SFAS 157), “Fair Value Measurements”. SFAS 157 proscribes a single definition of fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The accounting provisions of SFAS 157 will be effective for the Company beginning July 1, 2008. The Company does not believe the adoption of SFAS 157 will have a material impact on its financial condition or results of operations.

In September 2006, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108 (SAB 108). SAB 108 addresses how the effects of prior year uncorrected misstatements should be considered when quantifying misstatements in current year financial statements. SAB 108 requires companies to quantify misstatements using a balance sheet and income statement approach and to evaluate whether either approach results in quantifying an error that is material in light of relevant quantitative and qualitative factors. When the effect of initial adoption is material, companies will record the effect as a cumulative effect adjustment to beginning of year retained earnings. SAB 108 will be effective for the Company beginning July 1, 2007. The Company is in the process of determining whether the initial adoption will have a material impact on its financial statements.

3. Share-Based Compensation:

The Company has two stock plans that provide or have provided for the grant to employees of stock options, permit the grant of non-statutory share-based awards to paid consultants, and provide for the automatic grant of non-statutory share-based awards to outside directors. The plans may have options with terms of no more than ten years. The maximum terms of the options granted under these plans have been seven years with a maximum vesting of five years. The Company also has an employee stock purchase plan (ESPP) for employees to purchase its common stock at a discount. The ESPP provides for enrollment on the first day of a six-month period in which the employees can elect payroll deductions for the purchase of the Company’s common stock. The exercise date of the ESPP is the last day of the six month period and the purchase price is 85% of the fair market value of a share of common stock on the enrollment or exercise date, whichever is lower.

The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment” (“SFAS 123R”), effective July 1, 2005 using a modified prospective application, as permitted under SFAS 123R. Under the modified-prospective-transition method, share-based compensation expense recognized during the three and nine months ended March 30, 2007 and March 31, 2006 includes stock options granted prior to, but not yet vested as of July 1, 2005, based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the original provisions of SFAS No. 123 and the following items based on the grant date values estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 123R: (a) stock options granted after June 30, 2005, (b) ESPP with offering periods commencing subsequent to June 30, 2005 and (c) stock issued to employees of the Company.

Maturities of principal balances of convertible notes are: Fiscal 2007 - $0.2 million and 2009 - $3.1 million.

Related parties consist of directors, officers and employees of the Company and their affiliates that are holders of the notes payable.

On December 31, 2006, approximately $1.5 million of outstanding convertible notes matured. Note holders converted approximately $1.1 million of the convertible notes into 511,380 shares of common stock and approximately $0.4 million was paid in cash.

Approximately $0.4 million of outstanding convertible notes maturing on March 31, 2007 were paid in cash on March 30, 2007.

The Company has a bank line of credit facility which provides for borrowings of up to $4.0 million. This facility expires on December 28, 2008.

This credit facility, as it relates to any balances outstanding on the line of credit, contains financial and other covenants, and is collateralized by substantially all of the assets of the Company. Borrowings pursuant to the line of credit bear interest at the bank’s prime rate plus 0.25% (8.50% as of March 30, 2007). As of March 30, 2007, the Company had approximately $1.7 million of borrowings outstanding under this line of credit. On September 27, 2006, the Company and the lender amended the terms of the credit facility to eliminate the minimum quarterly net income covenant, the current assets to current liabilities covenant, the ratio of Senior debt to EBITDA covenant, and modified the tangible effective net worth covenant and cash flow coverage ratio covenant. As of March 30, 2007, the Company was in compliance with the covenants of the credit facility.

The credit facility allows the Company to use, under a Sub Facility, up to $2.0 million of the credit facility for permitted acquisition purposes and $750,000 for minority investment purposes.  Borrowings under the sub-facility bear interest at the bank’s prime rate plus 0.50% (8.75% as of March 30, 2007). The Company is subject to certain restrictions on the permitted acquisitions and minority investments and in some cases must receive the lender’s consent prior to using the facility for such purposes.

If the Sub Facility is used for permitted acquisitions or minority investments, such borrowings must be repaid over 48 months. During fiscal 2006, in connection with the purchase of RBIS, the Company utilized $1.0 million of the line of credit for payment of a portion of the purchase consideration. In accordance with the terms of the credit facility, the $1.0 million was converted to a term note effective June 10, 2006. The term note is payable in monthly installments of $20,833 plus interest for the fiscal years 2007 through 2010, with payments beginning in October, 2006. As of March 30, 2007, approximately $0.8 million was outstanding under the term note, of which approximately $0.25 million was classified as a current liability. A total of $0.25 million of principal amounts of this note are due annually in fiscal years 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010. The outstanding balance related to the Sub Facility reduces the maximum borrowings available under the line of credit. As a result, as of March 30, 2007, the maximum borrowing under the line of credit was $3.2 million and the remaining available borrowing capacity on the line of credit was approximately $1.5 million.

9. Net Loss Per Share:
 
Basic net income (loss) per common share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) applicable to common stock by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. The calculation of diluted net income (loss) per common share is similar to that of basic net income (loss) per common share, except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if all potentially dilutive common shares, principally those issuable upon the conversion of notes payable and the exercise of stock options and warrants, were issued during the period.

For the three and nine months ended March 30, 2007, a total of 1.8 million and 1.3 million shares related to stock options, convertible notes and the ESPP were excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS because they were anti-dilutive. For the three and nine months ended March 31, 2006, a total of 2.6 million and 2.8 million shares, respectively, related to stock options, warrants and convertible notes were excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS because they were anti-dilutive.
 
10. Income Tax:

The income tax benefit was $0.2 million and $0.5 million respectively for the three and nine month periods ended March 30, 2007 as compared to $0.6 million and $0.1 million, respectively, in the same periods in fiscal 2006. Our effective tax rate was 13.3% and 23.5%, respectively, for the three and nine months ended March 30, 2007 as compared to 30.5% and 10.9% in the same periods for fiscal 2006. Our effective tax rate is directly affected by share-based compensation expenses related to SFAS 123R, which are not deductible for tax purposes, but which are considered in estimating the annual effective tax rate as well as our forecast of annual income before taxes. These factors can lead to large fluctuations in the estimated effective tax rate from quarter to quarter.
The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) is currently examining the Company’s federal income tax return for the year ended June 30, 2004. The Company expects the IRS examination to be completed in fiscal 2008. At this time, there is insufficient information to quantify any possible changes or adjustments that may result from the IRS examination. While any adjustments resulting from this examination could affect our federal income tax returns, we do not believe that adjustments, if any, will have a material adverse effect on their financial condition or results of operations. Additionally, if the IRS exam results in an assessment that increases our tax obligation for the period under exam, the assessment may also include penalties and interest.
11. Legal Matters:

Periodically, the Company is involved in legal actions in the normal course of business, including audits and investigations by various governmental agencies that result from our work as a governmental contractor. There are currently no such legal matters outstanding.

12. Segment Information:

The Company reports operating results and financial data for two reporting segments: Defense Solutions Group (DSG) and Public Safety, Security and Industrial Systems Group (PSSIG). DSG provides engineering, technical, and financial and management services primarily to U.S. Government customers. Revenues in the PSSIG include products and equipment sales, software, engineering and installation services for industrial and commercial customers as well as government customers.

Effective July 1, 2006 certain business activities that were managed and reported under the DSG were moved into the PSSIG and are now managed and reported within that business group. The activities consisted principally of training related services and certain software services-based contracts that are inter-related with other activities in the PSSIG. Prior year amounts have been reclassified to reflect the inclusion of these activities in the PSSIG.

For the nine months ended March 30, 2007, the Company’s revenues were derived primarily from engineering and technical services, but also included product sales that represented approximately 7.5% of consolidated revenues. For the nine months ended March 31, 2006, the Company’s revenues were derived primarily from engineering and technical services with approximately 4.9% from product sales. The Company’s operations are primarily located in the U.S.

Sales to the government agencies, including both defense and non-defense agencies, and sales as a subcontractor as well as direct sales, aggregated approximately $48.4 million, or 88.8% of consolidated revenues in the nine months ended March 30, 2007. No single contract or individual customer accounted for more than 10% of total revenue for the three and nine months ended March 30, 2007 and March 31, 2006, respectively.

13. Acquisitions:

Merger with Ai Metrix

On October 17, 2006, the Company acquired all the outstanding common stock of Ai Metrix in a stock transaction for approximately $6.5 million, inclusive of approximately $0.5 million of transaction costs. The Company has included the financial results of Ai Metrix in its consolidated financial statements beginning October 17, 2006. Ai Metrix is a Reston, Virginia-based provider of innovative network management solutions. The merger furthers one of SYS’s goals of broadening its customer base for both commercial and governmental entities as well as broadening its existing product base.

In connection with the merger, the Company issued approximately 3.1 million shares of common stock, of which approximately 2.2 million were issued directly to Ai Metrix shareholders and 0.9 million shares were issued to an escrow agent for future contingencies and potential additional earn-out consideration, which are more fully described below. Additionally, the Company paid approximately $57,000 in cash, of which approximately $16,000 was paid to an escrow agent for future contingencies, which are more fully described below.

Consideration issued to escrow agent
In accordance with the merger agreement, the Company issued approximately 0.9 million shares and paid approximately $16,000 in cash to an escrow agent. Of the 0.9 million shares issued, 0.3 million shares are being held for any possible indemnity claims and 0.6 million shares are being held for potential additional earn-out or claw-back consideration, which is more fully described below. Of the $16,000 in cash, approximately $6,000 is being held for any possible indemnity claims and $10,000 is being held for potential earn-out or claw back consideration, which is more fully described below.

Purchase price
The purchase price of approximately $6.5 million is preliminary and is subject to change. The purchase price was calculated by using the Company’s average closing stock price two days before and including the day of the transaction multiplied by 2.5 million shares (2.2 million shares issued directly to Ai Metrix shareholders and 0.3 million shares issued to an escrow agent for indemnity) and includes $0.5 million in direct acquisition costs and $41,000 of cash paid directly to Ai Metrix shareholders. The 0.3 million shares issued to an escrow agent for any possible indemnity claims are being included in the calculation of the purchase price because management believes the nature of the representations and warranties that are covered by the indemnity are non-subjective and the issuance of these shares can be determined beyond a reasonable doubt.

14

Earn-out/Clawback
Additional consideration may be earned and the purchase price may be increased if Ai Metrix generates earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) in excess of $2.5 million for the measurement period beginning on the closing date of the transaction and ending on December 31, 2007. For each dollar of EBITDA generated in excess of $2.5 million, the Company will issue to the Ai Metrix shareholders one additional share of SYS common stock, up to a maximum of 1.9 million shares. If Ai Metrix generates EBITDA of less than $1.5 million during the measurement period, the total purchase price will be reduced, and the Company will receive back one share of its common stock or one dollar of cash, for each dollar of EBITDA less than $1.5 million, up to a maximum of the 0.6 million shares and $10,000 cash that is held by the escrow agent.

Purchase price allocation
The acquisition is being accounted for under the purchase method of accounting in accordance with SFAS 141. Under the purchase method of accounting, the total estimated purchase price is allocated to the net tangible and intangible assets of Ai Metrix acquired in connection with the merger, based on their estimated fair values as of the effective date of the merger. The preliminary allocation of the purchase price was based upon a preliminary valuation and our estimates and assumptions are subject to change. Management believes that the preliminary allocation of the purchase price is reasonable, however, in some cases the final allocation may change. The area of the purchase price allocation that has not yet been finalized relates to deferred taxes. The Company expects to finalize the purchase price allocation during the remainder of fiscal 2007.

RBIS

On April 2, 2006, the Company acquired all of the outstanding shares of Reality Based IT Services, Ltd. (“RBIS”), a privately held, Laurel, Maryland-based provider of information systems consulting addressing information security issues for the U.S. Department of Defense. Pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement (SPA), part of the purchase consideration was escrowed to, among other things, provide recourse to SYS for any breach of the representations and warranties made by the shareholder of RBIS in the SPA. The Escrow Agreement required the release of any remaining escrow balances as of April 2, 2007 unless any indemnity claims have been made by the Company. As of April 2, 2007 the balance remaining in escrow consists of $180,000 cash and 125,408 of SYS stock. On March 29, 2007, the Company filed an indemnity claim citing breaches by the former RBIS shareholder of representations and warranties set forth in the SPA. The former RBIS shareholder rejected the claims of the Company and has elected to pursue arbitration in accordance with the SPA. Given the early stage of the proceedings and the inherent uncertainties of dispute resolution, it is not possible at this time to predict the outcome of this proceeding.

Overview

SYS and its subsidiaries provide information connectivity solutions that capture, analyze and present real-time information to customers in the Department of Defense (DoD), Department of Homeland Security (DHS), other government agencies and commercial companies.  Using interoperable communications software, sensors, digital video broadcast and surveillance technologies, wireless networks, network management, decision-support tools and Net-Centric technologies, our technical experts enhance complex decision-making. Founded in 1966, SYS is headquartered in San Diego and has principal offices in California and Virginia.

We deliver our solutions through two reportable segments, the Defense Solutions Group (DSG) and the Public Safety, Security and Industrial Systems Group (PSSIG). The DSG focuses on engineering, technical and management services to Federal Government agencies. The PSSIG focuses on providing ‘right-time” situation status and mission execution support solutions for both commercial and government customers. We also provide solution lifecycle support with program, financial, test and logistical services, including classroom and online training.

Events, Trends and Uncertainties

Management currently considers the following events, trends and uncertainties to be important to understanding the financial condition and operating performance of SYS.

·  
Contract Type. Federal Government contracting practices tend to run in cycles. The preferred form of contracting varies and ranges from large contracts with multiple subcontractors and wide areas of work scope to small contracts with more specific areas of scope. Unless the Government has a very specific requirement, most of this work is done on an Indefinite-Delivery, Indefinite-Quantity type of contract. In general, the Government is now trending towards issuing large Multiple Award Contracts (“MAC”) where multiple winners continue to compete on a task by task basis. This trend was reinforced through the SeaPort-Enhanced MAC contract that has become a key contracting component for Naval Sea Air Command (NAVSEA) and SYS was awarded one such MAC contract. All tasks awarded under the SeaPort-Enhanced MAC type contracts are competitively bid among all eligible MAC holders. In addition, the cost plus nature of these tasks reduces performance risks but lowers the opportunity to make larger fees.

 
The task awards are frequently awarded on a cost reimbursable basis, cover a broader spectrum of activity and in general favor large businesses. SYS has been awarded a SeaPort-Enhanced contract which offers opportunity for SYS to bid on areas in which it might not otherwise have an opportunity to bid. On the other hand, if the scope of the task is too large, it may exceed SYS’ ability to respond. Despite the desire of upper level Government management to convert these contracts to fixed price contracts this is not usually achieved due to a lack of well defined specifications of the work to be performed. Thus, increasingly SYS is competing with larger companies for cost reimbursable contract opportunities that do not effectively consider innovation in the pricing evaluation and favor larger businesses doing business as usual where they may have a competitive pricing advantage and the advantage of performing on a larger scope of work. Reduction of this risk will depend on SYS’ ability to convince the Government that they can get better products at a better value by issuing more focused tasks versus large generic tasks.

 
In addition, SYS will pursue time and materials or fixed price contracts where SYS can be more agile and creative with process, technology, expertise, and management functions to provide a solution and to reduce the price for the customer.

Our gross margins (revenues less contract costs) are affected by the mix of contract types (cost reimbursement, fixed-price or time and materials) as well as the mix of prime contracts versus subcontracts. Further, with the inclusion of products based companies such as Logic, cVideo and Ai Metrix, our gross margins will be affected by the cost and availability of materials and components, product mix and other fixed and variable costs. Significant portions of our contracts are time and materials and cost reimbursement contracts. Subject to contract limits, we are reimbursed for labor hours at negotiated hourly billing rates and other direct expenses under time and materials contracts and reimbursed for all actual costs, plus a fee, or profit, under reimbursement contracts. The financial risks under these contracts are generally lower than those associated with other types of contracts, and margins are also typically lower than those on fixed-price contracts. The U.S. Government also has awarded us fixed-price contracts. Such contracts carry higher financial risks because we must deliver the products, systems or contract services at a cost below the fixed contract value in order to earn a profit.

The following table shows our revenues from each of these types of contracts as a percentage of our total contracts based revenues for the three and nine months ended March 30, 2007 and March 31, 2006:

We have derived a majority of our revenues from U.S. Government contracts under which we act as a prime contractor. We also provide services indirectly as a subcontractor. We intend to focus on the percentage of our business as a prime contractor because the direct customer relationship provides an opportunity for higher margins and longer term revenue streams.  At March 30, 2007, our mix of contracts consists of approximately 60% prime contracts and 40% subcontracts compared to a mix of 60% prime contracts and 40% subcontracts at March 31, 2006.

Total backlog as of March 30, 2007 was $34.7 million, of which $27.5 million was funded and $7.2 million had been ordered, but not yet funded. Total backlog as of March 31, 2006 was $33.0 million, of which $17.0 million was funded and $16.0 million had been ordered, but not yet funded.

All of our U.S. Government contracts are subject to audit and various cost controls and include standard provisions for termination for the convenience of the U.S. Government. Multi-year U.S. Government contracts and related orders are subject to cancellation if funds for contract performance for any subsequent year become unavailable.

·  
Iraq and Other Crises. The U.S. Government is currently prosecuting a major war effort in Iraq and a major global war on terrorism including troops in Afghanistan and other countries. The products and services that SYS offers in information connectivity, sensor networking, and command and control provide solutions to the real-time information and communications challenges faced in the efforts to address these crises.

However, defense firms and industry experts are concerned that money spent on Iraq is taking away from funding for these transformational technology solutions. At the same time, defense firms face concerns that existing programs could be cut or significantly slowed down or that their funding could be reallocated to other programs or directly to funding for Iraq.

Further, the funding for research and development or purchase of products to assist in dealing with future disasters often suffers while the rescue and rebuilding are in process. Our ability to generate decision support tools which will help in the response to future crises may be recognized, but there may not be funding to purchase our products and services and to provide funds to rebuild in disaster areas.


·  
Revenue Mix. Our business areas that encompass general administrative support in program management, financial management, base operations, and logistics have been in a continuous slow decline for the past five years while during this same period our C4ISR (command, control, communication, computer, intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance) business has steadily grown. More recently we’ve achieved growth in our technical program development and assessment, enterprise architecture, and training solutions business. At the same time, there have been decreases in some of our software development activities in certain Net-Centric programs where the programs have migrated from initial software development activities to deployment by larger systems integrators. We anticipate that this trend will continue as the DoD continues to implement their focus on enhanced information technology and communications systems, data acquisition and real time situational awareness. This may result in a decrease in the DSG revenues on a comparable basis. At the same time, we anticipate that revenues in the PSSIG business will grow as we add to or expand existing product offerings.

·  
Strategy. Our business growth strategy is focused on continuing to develop our core strengths in C4ISR, information technology, and systems integration while adding products and capabilities that will allow us to grow our markets in these areas as well as expand into other markets, including commercial and industrial markets. We intend to accomplish this growth strategy through acquisitions and through productizing capabilities and solutions developed through our engineering services. We believe that this strategy will enable us to diversify our revenue sources, compete for larger DoD programs and ultimately grow our operating margins, especially through the inclusion of products.

·  
Product Development and Sales and Marketing Expenses. During the past twelve months we have significantly increased our research and development and sales and marketing activities associated with acquired products-based businesses and with newly developing product lines. We plan to continue investing in such activities for the foreseeable future.

Revenues.  For the three months ended March 30, 2007, revenues were $19.1 million, up $5.7 million or 42.4% compared to the same period in fiscal 2006. The increase included approximately $2.7 million contributed from acquisitions and $4.0 million from increases in training, software engineering services and engineering and program management services which were partially offset by decreases of ($1.0) million in certain software development activities within our Net-Centric programs. For the nine months ended March 30, 2007 revenues were $54.5 million, up $15.6 million or 40.1% compared to the same period in fiscal 2006. The increase included approximately $10.5 million contributed from acquisitions and $8.4 million from increases in training, software engineering services and engineering and program management services which were partially offset by decreases of ($3.3) million in certain software development activities within our Net-Centric programs.

Acquisition related revenues in the three and nine month periods were primarily attributable to the additions of Ai Metrix and RBIS, Ltd., both of which were completed subsequent to the prior year third quarter. Additional acquisition related revenues were generated from our acquisitions of Web tech, Logic and cVideo.

Revenues by reportable segment for the three and nine months ended March 30, 2007 and March 31, 2006 were as follows (in thousands):

Effective July 1, 2006 certain business activities that were managed and reported under the DSG were moved into the PSSIG and are now managed and reported within that business group. The activities consisted principally of training related services and certain software services based contracts that are inter-related with other activities in the PSSIG. Prior period amounts have been reclassified to reflect the inclusion of these activities in the PSSIG.

The growth in the DSG is attributable to the acquisition of RBIS, which added revenues of $1.6 million and $5.7 million, respectively, for the three and nine months ended March 30, 2007, and increases of $1.3 million and $3.1 million, respectively, for the three and nine months ended March 30, 2007 in revenues from training, software engineering services and engineering and program management services. These increases were partially offset by decreases of ($1.0) million and ($3.3) million, respectively, in certain software development activities within our Net-Centric programs for the three and nine months ended March 30, 2007.

The growth in the PSSIG for the three and nine months ended March 30, 2007 is attributable to i) growth from the acquisitions of Ai Metrix, WebTech cVideo and Logic Innovations, which together added incremental revenues of $1.1 million and $4.8 million, respectively, in the three and nine months ended March 30, 2007 and ii) growth in training related services of $2.7 and $5.3 million, respectively, for the three and nine months ended March 30, 2007.
Costs of revenue.  Costs of revenue for services includes all direct costs such as labor, materials and subcontractor costs.  Costs of revenue for services also includes indirect overhead costs such as facilities, indirect labor, fringe benefits and other discretionary costs which are pooled and allocated to contracts on a pro rata basis. Generally, changes in direct costs for services are correlated to changes in revenue as resources are consumed in the production of that revenue. Costs of revenue for products includes the direct costs and manufacturing indirect expenses associated with manufacturing our products.

As a percentage of revenue, costs of revenue were 77.7% for the three months ended March 30, 2007 compared to 85.1% for the same period in fiscal 2006 resulting in gross margins of 22.3% and 14.9%, respectively. For the nine months ended March 30, 2007, costs of revenue were 77.3% as compared to 81.0% for the same period in fiscal 2006 resulting in gross margins of 22.7% and 19.0%, respectively. The increase in gross margins for the three and nine months ended March 30, 2007 was the result of (i) increased product sales that carry a higher gross margin than do our services, (ii) the effect of the adjustment in the prior year’s third quarter to expense indirect expense rate variances that had been deferred through March 31, 2006, which lowered the gross margin, and (iii) the effect of the purchase price allocation for Logic which resulted in a step-up in the cost of goods sold by Logic during the third quarter of the prior year..

Selling, general and administrative expenses.  Selling, general and administrative expenses (SG&A) include labor, fringe benefits, sales and marketing, bid and proposal (B&P) and other indirect costs. SG&A expenses increased $1.4 million or 48.2%, to $4.3 million in the three months ended March 30, 2007 compared to the same period in fiscal 2006. SG&A expenses increased $4.9 million or 83.1% to $10.9 million in the nine months ended March 30, 2007 as compared to the same period in fiscal 2006. Increases in SG&A during the three and nine months ended March 30, 2007 as compared to the same period in fiscal 2006 are attributable to the SG&A of the acquisitions and also continue to be driven by (i) increased spending for sales and marketing efforts, (ii) increased spending for our infrastructure support, (iii) increased amortization expense attributable to acquisitions, (iv) increased bad debt expense related to a certain customer (nine month period only) and (v) increased facility and other professional related expenses. We anticipate that this level of SG&A expenditures will be slightly lower in the fourth quarter based on cost reductions that have already taken place. 

19

Research, engineering and development expenses. Research, engineering and development (R&D) expenses include burdened labor and material costs to develop new products as well as maintaining and enhancing our existing product capabilities. R&D expenses increased $0.1 million or 14.4%, to $1.1 million in the three months ended March 30, 2007 compared to the same period in fiscal 2006. R&D expenses increased $1.1 million or 53.5% to $3.1 million in the nine months ended March 30, 2007 as compared to the same period in fiscal 2006. The increase in these expenses is primarily attributable to research and development as well as sustaining engineering related to Vigilys, Ai Metrix, Logic Innovations and the cVideo product lines. We anticipate that this level of R&D expenditures will be slightly lower in the fourth quarter based on cost reductions that have already taken place. 

Loss from operations.  The Company incurred a loss from operations of ($1.1) million in the three months ended March 30, 2007 as compared to a loss from operations of ($1.8) million in the same period in fiscal 2006 and a loss from operations of ($1.5) million in the nine months ended March 30, 2007 as compared to a loss from operations of ($0.5) million in the same period in fiscal 2006. This decrease in income from operations is primarily due to the increased spending for SG&A and R&D.

Loss from operations for the three and nine months ended March 30, 2007 includes share-based compensation expense of approximately $0.1 million and $0.3 million, respectively, as compared to $0.1 million and $0.4 million, respectively for the same periods in fiscal 2006. These expenses include non-cash expenses associated with stock options granted to employees, the employee stock purchase plan and, in the nine month period of fiscal 2006, non-cash expenses related to an employee stock purchase agreement. The recognition of these share-based compensation expenses is in accordance with SFAS No. 123R, which was adopted as of the beginning of the fiscal 2006.

Other (income) expense. Other (income) expense includes interest expense on our outstanding convertible notes and borrowings made under our credit facility and interest and other income. Other expense was $0.1 million and $0.4 million, respectively, for the three and nine months ended March 30, 2007 as compared to $0.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively, in the same periods in fiscal 2006. The increase in other expense in the nine months ending March 30, 2007 compared to the same period in fiscal 2006 is due primarily to a net increase in interest expense related to the issuance of approximately $3.1 million in convertible notes in February 2006 and interest on our term note issued in connection with the RBIS acquisition in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2006 partially offset by the decrease in interest expense resulting from the conversion of convertible notes during fiscal 2006 and 2007.

Income tax (benefit) provision. The income tax (benefit) provision was ($0.2) million and ($0.5) million, respectively, for the three and nine months ended March 30, 2007 as compared to ($0.6) million and ($0.1) million, respectively, for the same periods in fiscal 2006. Our effective tax rate was 13.3% and 23.5% for the three and nine months ended March 30, 2007, respectively, as compared to 30.5% and 10.9%, respectively, in the same periods in fiscal 2006. Our effective tax rate is directly affected by share-based compensation expenses related to SFAS 123R, which are not deductible for tax purposes, but which are considered in estimating the annual effective tax rate as well as our forecast of annual income before taxes. These factors can lead to large fluctuations in the estimated effective tax rate from quarter to quarter.

The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) is currently examining the Company’s federal income tax return for the year ended June 30, 2004. The Company expects the IRS examination to be completed in fiscal 2008. At this time, there is insufficient information to quantify any possible changes or adjustments that may result from the IRS examination. While any adjustments resulting from this examination could affect our federal income tax returns, we do not believe that adjustments, if any, will have a material adverse effect on their financial condition or results of operations. Additionally, if the IRS exam results in an assessment that increases our tax obligation for the period under exam, the assessment may also include penalties and interest.
Liquidity and Capital Resources

Historically, we have financed our operations and met our capital expenditure requirements through cash flows provided from operations, long-term borrowings (including the sale of convertible notes), sales of equity securities and the use of our line of credit. The significant components of our working capital are liquid assets such as cash, trade accounts receivable, inventories and income taxes receivable, reduced by accounts payable, accrued expenses, line of credit, the current portion of our term note, the current portion of our convertible notes payable, the current portion of our deferred tax liabilities and deferred revenue. Working capital was $7.8 million at March 30, 2007 compared to $7.3 million at June 30, 2006.

Cash flows from operating activities. Cash flows from operating activities increased $0.2 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2007 compared to the same period in fiscal 2006.

Cash flows from investing activities. Cash flows used in investing activities was $0.5 million for the first nine months of fiscal year 2007 as compared to $5.2 million in the same period of fiscal 2006. Cash paid for acquisitions decreased $4.7 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2007 compared to the same period in fiscal 2006. Additionally, we received $0.1 million in proceeds on the liquidation of an investment in the first nine months of fiscal 2006.

Cash flows from financing activities. Cash flows from financing activities decreased $8.1 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2007 compared to the same period in fiscal 2006. The decrease was due primarily to a decrease of $6.2 million of proceeds related to the issuance of convertible notes and common stock issued in the private placement, a decrease of $0.7 million in proceeds related to stock option and warrant exercises and an increase of approximately $0.9 million in payments of notes payable and other borrowings.

As of March 30, 2007, we had convertible notes payable totaling $3.3 million consisting of $0.2 million issued in connection with the Antin acquisition and $3.1 million issued in conjunction with the private placement in February 2006. A total of $0.2 million of the convertible notes mature in the remainder of fiscal 2007.

On December 31, 2006, approximately $1.5 million of outstanding convertible notes from a 2004 financing matured. Note holders converted approximately $1.2 million of the convertible notes into 511,380 shares of common stock at a conversion price of $2.20 per share and approximately $0.3 million was paid in cash.

Approximately $0.4 million of outstanding convertible notes from the acquisition of Polexis in 2004 maturing on March 31, 2007 were paid in cash on March 30, 2007. These notes had a conversion price of $2.32 per share.

One of our regular sources of liquidity is our revolving line of credit facility with Comerica for $4.0 million, which expires on December 28, 2008.

Our revolving line of credit had an outstanding balance of $1.7 million at March 30, 2007. The Company’s $4.0 million revolving line of credit facility allows SYS to use (i) the full $4.0 million for working capital purposes or (ii) under a Sub Facility, up to $2.0 million of the credit facility for permitted acquisition purposes and $750,000 for minority investment purposes. The line of credit is subject to certain restrictions on permitted acquisitions and minority investments, and in some cases, we must receive the lender’s consent prior to using the facility for such purposes. If used for permitted acquisitions or minority investments, these advances must be repaid over 48 months.

20

During fiscal 2006, in connection with the purchase of RBIS, we utilized $1.0 million of this line for payment of a portion of the purchase consideration. In accordance with the terms of the credit facility, the $1.0 million was converted to a term note effective June 10, 2006. The term note is payable in monthly installments of $20,833 plus interest for fiscal years 2007 through 2010, with payments beginning October, 2006. The balance of the term note as of March 30, 2007 was $0.8 million, of which $0.25 million was classified as a current liability. A total of $0.25 million of principal amounts of this note are due in fiscal years 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010. The outstanding balance related to the Sub Facility reduces the maximum borrowings available under the line of credit. As a result, as of March 30, 2007, the maximum borrowing under the line of credit was $3.2 million and the remaining available borrowing capacity on the line of credit was approximately $1.5 million.

On September 27, 2006, SYS and the lender agreed to amend the terms of the line of credit to eliminate the minimum quarterly net income covenant, current assets to current liabilities covenant and ratio of senior debt to EBITDA covenant and modify the tangible effective net worth covenant and cash flow coverage ratio covenant.

We have the option of being charged prime plus 0.25% or LIBOR plus 300 basis points on the credit facility and prime plus 0.50% or LIBOR plus 325 basis points on the sub facility subject to minimum advance amounts and duration under the LIBOR option. The loan is collateralized by all of our assets including accounts receivable. Borrowings are limited to 80% of our billed accounts receivable that are less than 90 days old.

Management believes that SYS will have sufficient cash flow from operations and funds available under the revolving credit agreement to finance its operating and capital requirements for at least the next twelve months.

Long-term liquidity and continued acquisition related growth will depend on our ability to manage cash, raise cash through debt and equity financing transactions and regain profitability. We may seek to raise additional capital from time to time as market conditions permit and subject to Board approval. Our recent losses may impact our ability to raise capital.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements



The foregoing discussion of our financial condition and results of operations is based on the consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-Q, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, sales and expenses, and the related disclosures of contingencies. We base these estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
 
During the nine months ended March 30, 2007, there were no significant changes to the critical accounting policies we disclosed in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2006.

For interim reporting purposes, SYS applies overhead and selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of direct contract costs based on annual budgeted indirect expense rates. To the extent actual expenses for an interim period are greater than the budgeted rates, the variance is deferred if management believes it is probable that the variance will be absorbed by future contract activity. This probability assessment includes projecting whether future indirect costs will be sufficiently less than the annual budgeted rates or can be absorbed by seeking increased billing rates applied on cost-plus-fee contracts. At the end of each interim reporting period, management assesses the recoverability of any amount deferred to determine if any portion should be charged to expense. In assessing the recoverability of variances deferred, management takes into consideration estimates of the amount of direct labor and other direct costs to be incurred in future interim periods, the feasibility of modifications for provisional billing rates, and the likelihood that an approved increase in provisional billing rates can be passed along to a customer. Variances are charged to expense in the periods in which it is determined that such amounts are not probable of recovery. As of March 30, 2007, the favorable rate variance totaled $.2 million.

ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Our exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to our investment income and interest expense. As of March 30, 2007 our cash was primarily invested in a money market interest bearing account. A hypothetical 10% adverse change in the average interest rate on our money market cash investments would have had no material effect on our results of operations or cash flows for the three and nine months ended March 30, 2007. We currently do not utilize any derivative financial instruments to hedge interest rate risks.

We have interest rate risk in that borrowings under our line of credit and term note are based on variable market interest rates. As of March 30, 2007, we had $1.7 million of variable rate debt outstanding under our credit facility and $0.8 million outstanding under a term note.  Presently, the revolving credit line bears interest at a rate of prime plus 0.25% and the term note bears interest at a rate of prime plus 0.50%. A hypothetical 10% increase in the weighted average interest rate on our combined line of credit and term note would not have had a material impact to our results of operations or cash flows for the three and nine months ended March 30, 2007.

Our privately issued convertible notes have fixed interest rates of 10%, but have exposure to changes in the debt’s fair value. We believe that the fair value of our total outstanding convertible notes is approximately $2.0 million based on the conversion prices of the notes and the closing price of our common stock on March 30, 2007.

ITEM 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 30, 2007. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 30, 2007, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

Limitations on the Effectiveness of Internal Controls
Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives, and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting during our most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Item 1A. Risk Factors
 
Other than the items listed below, no material changes to our risk factors as reported on our Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2006:

We are currently under audit by the Internal Revenue Service, and the results of the audit could materially impact our financial statements and liquid assets. 

The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) is currently examining the Company’s federal income tax return for the year ended June 30, 2004. The Company expects the IRS examination to be completed in fiscal 2008. At this time, there is insufficient information to quantify any possible changes or adjustments that may result from the IRS examination. While any adjustments resulting from this examination could affect our federal income tax returns, we do not believe that adjustments, if any, will have a material adverse effect on their financial condition or results of operations. Additionally, if the IRS exam results in an assessment that increases our tax obligation for the period under exam, the assessment may also include penalties and interest.

There are a large number of shares that are available for future sale, and the sale of these shares may depress the market price of our common stock.
 
As of March 30, 2007, we had issued 19,443,666 shares of common stock. Up to 2,206,950 shares of common stock were issuable upon the exercise of employee stock options at prices ranging from $1.23 to $4.90 per share, 78,400 shares were issuable upon the conversion of the convertible note payable from the Antin acquisition at $2.50 per share, 868,056 shares were issuable upon the conversion of convertible notes from the February 2006 Offering at $3.60 per share, 313,401 shares were issuable upon the exercise of warrants issued in connection with the May 27, 2005 Offering at $2.50 per share, 50,000 shares were issuable upon the exercise of warrants issued in connection with the acquisition of the Lomasoft technology at $3.85 per share, 110,000 shares were issuable upon the exercise of warrants issued in connection with various transactions at $4.00 per share,  20,000 shares were issuable upon the exercise of warrants issued for services rendered to SmallCap Corporate Advisors, LLC at $2.44 per share and up to 3,619,363 shares contingently issuable under earn-out provisions in various acquisition transactions. Shares issued upon any conversion of our outstanding convertible notes or upon the exercise of outstanding options and warrants could adversely affect the market price of our common stock.
 
Future sales of our common stock by existing shareholders under Rule 144 could decrease the trading price of our common stock. 
 
As of March 30, 2007, a total of 9,754,247 shares of our outstanding common stock were “restricted securities” and could be sold in the public markets only in compliance with Rule 144 adopted under the Securities Act of 1933 or other applicable exemptions from registration. Rule 144 provides that a person holding restricted securities for a period of one year may thereafter sell, in brokerage transactions, an amount not exceeding in any three-month period the greater of either (i) 1% of the issuer’s outstanding common stock or (ii) the average weekly trading volume in the securities during a period of four calendar weeks immediately preceding the sale. Persons who are not affiliated with the issuer and who have held their restricted securities for at least two years are not subject to the volume limitation. Possible or actual sales of our common stock by present shareholders under Rule 144 could have a depressive effect on the price of our common stock.
 
Our directors, executive officers and affiliated persons beneficially own a significant amount of our stock, and their interests could conflict with yours.
 
As of March 30, 2007, our directors, executive officers and affiliated persons beneficially own approximately 31.9% of our common stock, including stock options exercisable within 60 days of March 30, 2007. As a result, our executive officers, directors and affiliated persons will have a significant ability to:
 
·  
Elect or defeat the election of our directors;
·  
amend or prevent amendment of our articles of incorporation or bylaws;
·  
effect or prevent a merger; sale of assets or other corporate transactions; and
·  
control the outcome of any other matters submitted to the shareholders for vote.

As a result of their ownership and positions, our directors, executive officers, and affiliated persons, collectively, are able to significantly influence all matters requiring shareholder approval, including the election of directors and approval of significant corporate transactions. In addition, sales of significant amounts of shares held by our directors and executive officers and affiliated persons, or the prospect of these sales, could adversely affect the market price of our common stock. Management’s stock ownership may discourage a potential acquirer from making a tender offer or otherwise attempting to obtain control of us, which in turn could reduce our stock price or prevent our shareholders from realizing a premium over our stock price.

23

There are risks associated with our planned growth, such as a possible inability to manage our growth.
 
We plan to grow our revenues and profits by adding to our existing customer base through organic growth and by the acquisition of other government services and government or commercial technology related companies. Over the past five years we have hired senior management personnel capable of establishing new business units within SYS. Rapid expansion through internal growth has required additional capital resources. We plan to continue this approach to building our business. There can be no assurances that such an approach will result in profitability in the future.
 
We believe that we can also grow through the acquisition of other government services companies and government or commercial technology related companies that have product offerings which may be sold to both commercial and government customers. The acquisition of other companies and growing those businesses is uncertain and contains a variety of business risks, including: integration, cultural differences, the retention of key personnel, competition, protection of intellectual property, industry changes and others. It also includes the risk that the parties to a transaction may have disputes that arise subsequent to the acquisition, which could lead to arbitration or other legal proceedings. We intend to attempt to expand our operations through the acquisition of other companies. Acquisitions and attempted acquisitions may place a strain on our limited personnel, financial and other resources. Our ability to manage this growth, should it occur, will require expansion of our capabilities and personnel. We may not be able to find qualified personnel to fill additional positions or be able to successfully manage a larger organization. Further, we intend to finance these transactions through a combination of cash and/or equity and debt financing transactions. Our ability to use our stock as an acquisition currency may be limited because the trading volume in our stock has been low, our stock price has been volatile, and our stock may not maintain a price sufficient to support transactions without excessive dilution.
