DYNCORP INTERNATIONAL INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1—Basis of Presentation and Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
DynCorp International Inc., through its subsidiaries, is a leading provider of specialized, mission-critical professional and support services for the U.S. military, non-military U.S. governmental agencies and foreign governments. Our specific global expertise is in law enforcement training and support, security services, base and logistics operations, construction management, aviation services and operations and linguist services. References herein to “DynCorp International”, the “Company”, “we”, “our”, or “us” refer to DynCorp International Inc. and its subsidiaries unless otherwise stated or indicated by the context.
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and our domestic and foreign subsidiaries. These consolidated financial statements have been prepared, without audit, pursuant to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. However, we believe that all disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto included in the Company’s fiscal 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on June 11, 2009.
We report our results on a 52/53 week fiscal year with the fiscal year ending on the Friday closest to March 31 of such year (April 2, 2010 for fiscal year 2010 which is a 52 week fiscal year). The three months ended January 1, 2010 was a 13-week period from October 3, 2009 to January 1, 2010. The three months ended January 2, 2009 was a 13-week period from October 4, 2008 to January 2, 2009. The nine months ended January 1, 2010 was a 39-week period from April 4, 2009 to January 1, 2010. The nine months ended January 2, 2009 was a 40-week period from March 29, 2008 to January 2, 2009.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary to fairly present our financial position at January 1, 2010 and April 3, 2009, the results of operations for the three and nine months ended January 1, 2010 and January 2, 2009, and cash flows for the nine months ended January 1, 2010 and January 2, 2009, have been included. The results of operations for the three months and the nine months ended January 1, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year or for any future periods. We use estimates and assumptions required for preparation of the financial statements. The estimates are primarily based on historical experience and business knowledge and are revised as circumstances change. However, actual results could differ from the estimates.
As a result of the implementation of the noncontrolling interest rules in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board Codification (“ASC”) 810 — Consolidation, certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. This includes moving the $10.7 million noncontrolling interests balance (previously “minority interest”) as of April 3, 2009 out of the mezzanine section of the balance sheet and into the equity section. Such reclassifications have no impact on previously reported net income attributable to DynCorp International Inc.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of both our domestic and foreign subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. Generally, investments in which we own a 20% to 50% ownership interest are accounted for by the equity method. These investments are in business entities in which we do not have control, but have the ability to exercise significant influence over operating and financial policies and are not the primary beneficiary as defined in ASC 810 — Consolidation. We have no investments in business entities of less than 20%.

Noncontrolling Interests
We hold various ownership interests in a number of joint ventures as disclosed in Note 1 to our fiscal 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on June 11, 2009. We are required by GAAP to consolidate certain joint ventures for which we do not hold a 100% interest. We record the impact of our joint venture partners’ interests in these consolidated joint ventures as noncontrolling interests. Noncontrolling interests is presented on the face of the income statement as an increase or reduction in arriving at net income attributable to DynCorp International Inc. Noncontrolling interests on the balance sheet is located in the equity section.
Restricted Cash
Restricted cash represents cash restricted by certain contracts in which advance payments are not available for use except to pay specified costs and vendors for work performed on the specific contract and cash restricted and invested as collateral as required by our letters of credit. Changes in restricted cash related to our contracts are included as operating activities whereas changes in restricted cash for funds invested as collateral are included as investing activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows.
Property and Equipment
Depreciation expense was $0.9 million and $0.8 million for the three months ended January 1, 2010 and January 2, 2009, including certain depreciation amounts classified as Cost of services. Depreciation expense was $2.9 million and $2.3 million for the nine months ended January 1, 2010 and January 2, 2009, respectively, including certain depreciation amounts classified as Cost of services. Accumulated depreciation was $10.1 million and $8.6 million at January 1, 2010 and April 3, 2009, respectively.
Accounting Policies
There have been no material changes to our other significant accounting policies not disclosed above.
Accounting Developments
Pronouncements Implemented
In December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements”, which is an amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51. Certain portions of this statement were incorporated into the Accounting Standards Codifications (“ASC”) 810 — Consolidation. ASC 810 covers several areas including (i) defining the way the noncontrolling interests should be presented in the financial statements and notes, (ii) clarifying that all transactions between a parent and subsidiary are to be accounted for as equity transactions if the parent retains its controlling financial interest in the subsidiary and (iii) requiring that a parent recognize a gain or loss in net income when a subsidiary is deconsolidated. This statement is effective for the fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008. We adopted this statement in the first quarter of fiscal year 2010, which changed our presentation of noncontrolling interests on our consolidated statements of income, consolidated balance sheets, consolidated statements of cash flows and consolidated statements of shareholders’ equity. We have applied the newly codified noncontrolling interest rules in ASC 810 retrospectively to the presentation of our balance sheets, statements of income, statements of cash flows and statements of equity.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), “Business Combinations” (“SFAS No. 141(R)”). This statement replaces FASB Statement No. 141, “Business Combinations.” Certain portions of this statement were incorporated into the ASC 805 — Business Combinations. This topic area retains the fundamental requirements in SFAS No. 141 that the acquisition method of accounting (which SFAS No. 141 called the purchase method) be used for all business combinations and for an acquirer to be identified for each business combination. ASC 805 defines the acquirer as the entity that obtains control of one or more businesses in the business combination and establishes the acquisition date as the date that the acquirer achieves control. Additionally, ASC 805 requires an acquirer to recognize the assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interests in the acquiree at the acquisition date, measured at their fair values as of that date, with limited exceptions specified in the statement. Furthermore, ASC 805 also requires acquisition related costs to be expensed as incurred. ASC 805 was adopted in the first quarter of fiscal year 2010.
In December 2007, the FASB ratified EITF 07-1, “Accounting for Collaborative Arrangements”. Certain portions of this statement were incorporated into the ASC 808 — Collaborative Arrangements. ASC 808 provides guidance for determining if a collaborative arrangement exists and establishes procedures for reporting revenue and costs generated from transactions with third parties, as well as between the parties within the collaborative arrangement, and provides guidance for financial statement disclosures of collaborative arrangements. ASC 808 became effective for us in the first quarter of fiscal year 2010. The adoption of ASC 808 did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial position or results of operations. We have included additional disclosure on a collaborative arrangement in Note 12.
In April 2008, the FASB issued Staff Position No. 142-3, “Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets” (“FSP No. 142-3”). Certain portions of this statement were incorporated into both ASC 350 — Intangibles as well as ASC 275 — Risks and Uncertainties. This guidance amends the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” (“SFAS No. 142”). The applicable portions of the ASC are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. We have applied the newly codified rules for any applicable events and transactions in fiscal year 2010.
In June 2008, the FASB issued FSP EITF 03-6-1, “Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating Securities.” Certain portions of this statement were incorporated into ASC — 260 Earnings Per Share. The codification provides that unvested share-based payment awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents (whether paid or unpaid) are participating securities and shall be included in the computation of earnings per share pursuant to the two-class method. The FSP is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those years. The adoption of the newly codified rules in ASC 260 did not have a material impact on basic or diluted earnings per share.
In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP FAS 141(R)-1 “Accounting for Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed in a Business Combination that Arise from Contingencies” (“FSP FAS 141(R)-1”). Certain portions of this statement were incorporated into ASC 805 — Business Combinations. This clarifies guidance pertaining to contingencies. The updated guidance states that an acquirer shall recognize at fair value, at the acquisition date, an asset acquired or a liability assumed in a business combination that arises from a contingency if the acquisition-date fair value of that asset or liability can be determined during the measurement period. If the acquisition-date fair value of an asset acquired or a liability assumed in a business combination that arises from a contingency cannot be determined during the measurement period, an asset or a liability shall be recognized at the acquisition date if both of the following criteria are met which are (i) information available before the end of the measurement period indicates that it is probable that an asset existed or that a liability had been incurred at the acquisition date and (ii) the amount of the asset or liability can be reasonably estimated. We adopted this recently codified guidance in ASC 805 in connection with our acquisition of Phoenix Consulting Group, Inc. (“Phoenix”), as further described in Note 15.

In May 2009, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Standards No. 165 “Subsequent Events (as amended)” (“SFAS No. 165”), which provides guidance on management’s assessment of subsequent events. Certain portions of this statement were incorporated into the ASC — 855 Subsequent Events. The new guidance clarifies that management must evaluate, as of each reporting period, events or transactions that occur after the balance sheet date through the date that the financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. Management must perform its assessment for both interim and annual financial reporting periods. ASC 855 requires management to disclose, in addition to the disclosures in the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Auditing Standards (“AU”) 560, the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated and whether that is the date on which the financial statements were issued or were available to be issued. ASC 855 is effective prospectively for interim or annual financial periods ending after June 15, 2009. We have adopted this guidance through enhanced disclosures for any applicable events and transactions as further described in Note 16.
In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 168, “FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles” (“SFAS No. 168”). Certain portions of this statement were incorporated into ASC 105 — Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. This standard is effective for financial statements for interim or annual reporting periods ending after September 15, 2009. ASC 105 replaced SFAS No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“SFAS No. 162”), and establishes only two levels of GAAP, authoritative and non-authoritative. The codification is the source of authoritative, nongovernmental GAAP, except for rules and interpretive releases of the SEC, which are sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. All other non-grandfathered, non-SEC accounting literature not included in the codification became non-authoritative. As the codification was not intended to change or alter existing GAAP, it did not have any impact on our consolidated financial statements.
Pronouncements Not Yet Implemented
In June 2009, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Standards No. 167, “Amendments to FASB Interpretation 46(R)” (“SFAS No. 167”) SFAS No. 167 was converted to Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 17 (“ASU-17”) and has been incorporated into ASC 810 — Consolidation once effective. This statement amends the guidance for (i) determining whether an entity is a variable interest entity (“VIE”), (ii) the determination of the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity, (iii) requires ongoing reassessments of whether an enterprise is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity and (iv) changes the disclosure requirements in FIN 46(R)-8. This statement is effective as of our first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009, for interim periods within that first annual reporting period, and for interim and annual reporting periods thereafter. We are currently evaluating the potential impact of the adoption of this new guidance to our financial statements.
In October 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2009-013, “Revenue Recognition Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements” (“ASU-13”). This update (i) removes the objective-and-reliable-evidence-of-fair-value criterion from the separation criteria used to determine whether an arrangement involving multiple deliverables contains more than one unit of accounting, (ii) replaces references to “fair value” with “selling price” to distinguish from the fair value measurements required under the Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures guidance, (iii) provides a hierarchy that entities must use to estimate the selling price, (iv) eliminates the use of the residual method for allocation, and (v) expands the ongoing disclosure requirements. The amendments in this update will be effective prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010 and early adoption is permitted. Management is currently evaluating the effect that adoption of this update will have on the company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations.
Note 2—Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share are based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings per share are based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and the effect of all dilutive common stock equivalents during each period.
As discussed in Note 1, we adopted ASC 260 during fiscal year 2010. Under ASC 260, common stock equivalents that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents are considered participating securities and, therefore, are included in the computation of basic earnings per share pursuant to the two-class method. As of January 1, 2010, we did not have any common stock equivalents that contained non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents.

Table of Contents

As of the period ended January 1, 2010, our only common stock equivalents were restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and performance stock units (“PSUs”). Our RSUs and PSUs may be dilutive and included in diluted earnings per share calculations or anti-dilutive and excluded from such calculations. For the periods ended January 1, 2010 and January 2, 2009, we had no anti-dilutive units. The following table reconciles the numerators and denominators used in the computations of basic and diluted earnings per share:

Note 3—Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
As announced on April 6, 2009, we changed from reporting financial results on the three segments utilized in fiscal year 2009 to reporting three new segments beginning with fiscal year 2010. The three prior operating segments were International Security Services (“ISS”), Logistics and Construction Management (“LCM”) and Maintenance and Technical Support (“MTSS”). Under the new organizational alignment, our three segments are Global Stabilization and Development Solutions (“GSDS”), Global Platform Support Solutions (“GPSS”) and Global Linguist Solutions (“GLS”).
The goodwill carrying value was reallocated to the three new operating segments using a relative fair value approach based on the new reporting unit structure. The GLS segment has no goodwill carrying value as this distinct service line came into existence after the legacy goodwill carrying value was established. The change in presentation of our goodwill balance by operating segment from April 3, 2009 to January 1, 2010 is included in the following table as well as additional goodwill obtained as a result of the acquisition of Phoenix. See Note 15 for additional information regarding the Phoenix acquisition.

All of the contracts that made up the ISS and LCM operating segments were realigned into the GSDS operating segment except for GLS, which became a unique operating segment and the Specialty Aviation & Counter Drug strategic business area (“SBA”), which was realigned into the GPSS operating segment. In addition to the Specialty Aviation & Counter Drug SBA, all legacy MTSS programs were realigned into the GPSS operating segment.

For the three and nine months ended January 1, 2010 our effective tax rate was 28.0% and 31.2%, respectively, as compared to 31.1% and 31.4% for the three and nine months ended January 2, 2009, respectively. The reduction in the effective tax rate below the U.S. marginal federal statutory rate of 35% was primarily due to the impact of our reduced outlook for the fiscal year combined with the impact of our consolidated joint ventures such as GLS and DIFZ. These joint ventures are consolidated for financial reporting purposes; but, are considered unconsolidated entities for U.S. income tax purposes.
As of January 1, 2010 and April 3, 2009, we have $13.0 million and $6.1 million, respectively, of total unrecognized tax benefits. The amount of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would affect the effective tax rate was $2.1 million and $0.1 million for January 1, 2010 and April 3, 2009, respectively.
It is reasonably possible that in the next 12 months the gross amount of unrecognized tax benefits will increase by $0.5 million. However, we do not expect any material changes to our effective tax rate as a result.
We recognize interest accrued related to uncertain tax positions in interest expense and penalties in income tax expense in our unaudited Consolidated Statements of Income, which is consistent with the recognition of these items in prior periods. We have recorded a liability of approximately $0.7 million and $0.2 million for the payment of interest and penalties as of January 1, 2010 and April 3, 2009, respectively.
We file income tax returns in U.S. federal and state jurisdictions and in various foreign jurisdictions. The statute of limitations is open for federal and state examinations for our fiscal year 2005 forward and, with few exceptions, foreign income tax examinations for the calendar year 2005 forward.

Unbilled receivables at January 1, 2010 and April 3, 2009 include $59.3 million and $30.7 million, respectively, related to costs incurred on projects for which we have been requested by the customer to begin work under a new contract or extend work under an existing contract, and for which formal contracts or contract modifications have not been executed at the end of the respective periods. These amounts include $5.3 million related to contract claims at January 1, 2010 and April 3, 2009. The balance of unbilled receivables consists of costs and fees billable immediately on contract completion or other specified events, the majority of which is expected to be billed and collected within one year.

For a full description of our indebtedness, see Note 7, Long-Term Debt, to the consolidated financial statements in our fiscal 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on June 11, 2009.
Senior Secured Credit Facility
We are required, under certain circumstances as defined in our credit agreement, to use a percentage of excess cash generated from operations to reduce the outstanding principal of the term loans in the following year. Such payments are due near the end of the first quarter of the following fiscal year. We paid $23.4 million under the excess cash flow requirement in June 2009 stemming from our fiscal year 2009 results. This payment was lower than the $30.5 million estimate in our fiscal year 2009 annual report as several members of our banking syndicate waived their excess cash flow principal payment option. The excess cash flow measurement is an annual requirement of the credit agreement and, as a result, we cannot predict with certainty the excess cash flow that will be generated, if any, for the results related to the fiscal year ending April 2, 2010.
At January 1, 2010, availability under the revolving credit facility for additional borrowings was approximately $170.6 million (which gives effect to approximately $29.4 million of outstanding letters of credit, which reduced our availability by that amount). The credit agreement requires an unused line fee equal to 0.38% per annum, payable quarterly in arrears, for the unused portion of the revolving credit facility. The fair value of our borrowings under our senior secured credit facility approximates 98.8% of the carrying amount based on market quotes as of January 1, 2010.
9.5% Senior Subordinated Notes
Under the indenture, we can redeem the senior subordinated notes, in whole or in part, at defined redemption prices plus accrued interest as of the redemption date. Our Board of Directors approved a plan in fiscal year 2009, which allowed for up to $25.0 million in repurchases for a combination of common stock and/or senior subordinated notes per fiscal year during fiscal years 2009 and 2010. In June 2009, our Board of Directors added a requirement that stock repurchases could only occur if the price was less than or equal to $14.00 per share.
In the first quarter of fiscal year 2010, we purchased 54,900 shares for $0.7 million at an average price of $12.93 per share. We also repurchased $10.3 million in face value of our senior subordinated notes for $10.0 million, including applicable fees. In the second quarter of fiscal year 2010, we repurchased $14.5 million in face value of our senior subordinated notes for $14.3 million including applicable fees. The repurchases, when including the impact of the discount and deferred financing fees, produced an overall loss of $0.1 million as of the nine months ended January 1, 2010. These repurchases utilized approximately 100% of the $25.0 million, leaving no availability for additional repurchases during the current fiscal year.

The fair value of the senior subordinated notes is based on their quoted market value. As of January 1, 2010, the quoted market value of the senior subordinated notes was approximately 102.9% of stated value.
Note 7— Interest Rate Derivatives
At January 1, 2010, our derivative instruments consisted of two interest rate swap agreements. The $168.6 million derivative is designated as a cash flow hedge that effectively fixes the interest rate on the applicable notional amount of our variable rate debt. The $31.4 million swap derivative no longer qualifies for hedge accounting as it continues to be fully dedesignated as of January 1, 2010.

Plus applicable margin (2.5% at January 1, 2010).
During the three and nine months ended January 1, 2010, we paid $2.4 million and $6.5 million in net settlements and incurred $2.0 million of expenses, which was recorded to interest expense, and incurred $6.3 million of expenses, of which $5.8 million was recorded to interest expense and $0.5 million was recorded to other (loss)/income, respectively.
During the three and nine months ended January 2, 2009, we paid $0.9 million and $4.0 million in net settlements and incurred $1.0 million of expenses, which was recorded to interest expense, and incurred $4.0 million in expenses of which $3.6 million was recorded to interest expense and $0.4 million was recorded to other (loss)/income, respectively.
Amounts are reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income into earnings as net cash settlements occur, changes from quarterly derivative valuations are updated, new circumstances dictate the disqualification of hedge accounting and adjustments for cumulative ineffectiveness are recorded.

As of January 1, 2010, we estimate that approximately $3.1 million of losses associated with the interest rate swap related to $168.6 million of notional debt included in accumulated other comprehensive income will be reclassified into earnings over the remaining life of the derivative which expires in May 2010. The other interest rate swap does not qualify for hedge accounting and has been marked to market, which generated a $0.6 million liability at January 1, 2010. See Note 14 for fair value disclosures associated with these hedges.
Note 8—Commitments and Contingencies
Commitments
We have operating leases for the use of real estate and certain property and equipment which are non-cancelable, cancelable only by the payment of penalties or cancelable upon one month’s notice. All lease payments are based on the lapse of time but include, in some cases, payments for insurance, maintenance and property taxes. There are no purchase options on operating leases at favorable terms, but most leases have one or more renewal options. Certain leases on real estate are subject to annual escalations for increases in base rents, utilities and property taxes. Lease rental expense amounted to $12.3 million and $15.1 million for the three months ended January 1, 2010 and January 2, 2009, respectively, and $37.6 million and $38.8 million for the nine months ended January 1, 2010 and January 2, 2009, respectively.

General Legal Matters
We are involved in various lawsuits and claims that have arisen in the normal course of business. In most cases, we have denied, or believe we have a basis to deny any liability. Related to these matters, we have recorded a reserve of approximately $21.1 million as of January 1, 2010. While it is not possible to predict with certainty the outcome of litigation and other matters discussed below, we believe that liabilities in excess of those recorded, if any, arising from such matters would not have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, consolidated financial condition or liquidity over the long-term.
As previously disclosed, we identified certain payments made on our behalf by two subcontractors to expedite the issuance of a limited number of visas and licenses from a foreign government’s agencies that may raise compliance issues under the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. We retained outside counsel to investigate these payments. In November 2009, we voluntarily brought these matters to the attention of the U.S. Department of Justice and the SEC. We are cooperating with the government’s review of these matters. We are also continuing our evaluation of our internal policies and procedures. We cannot predict the ultimate consequences of these matters at this time, nor can we reasonably estimate the potential liability, if any, related to these matters. However, based on the facts currently known, we do not believe that these matters will have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flow. We have not recorded any reserves with respect to these matters.
Pending litigation and claims
On May 14, 2008, a jury in the Eastern District of Virginia found against us in a case brought by a former subcontractor, Worldwide Network Services (“WWNS”), on two Department of State (“DoS”) contracts, in which WWNS alleged racial discrimination, tortuous interference and certain other claims. The jury awarded WWNS approximately $15.7 million in compensatory and punitive damages and awarded us approximately $0.2 million on a counterclaim. In addition to the jury award, the court awarded WWNS approximately $3.0 million in connection with certain contract claims. On September 22, 2008, WWNS was awarded approximately $1.8 million in attorneys’ fees. On February 2, 2009, we filed an appeal with respect to this matter. On September 22, 2009, the Court of Appeals heard oral arguments. We are awaiting the courts determination. As of January 1, 2010, we believe we have adequate reserves recorded for this matter.
On December 4, 2006, December 29, 2006, March 14, 2007 and April 24, 2007, four lawsuits were served, seeking unspecified monetary damages against DynCorp International LLC and several of its former affiliates in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida, concerning the spraying of narcotic plant crops along the Colombian border adjacent to Ecuador. Three of the lawsuits, filed on behalf of the Provinces of Esmeraldas, Sucumbíos, and Carchi in Ecuador, allege violations of Ecuadorian law, international law, and statutory and common law tort violations, including negligence, trespass, and nuisance. The fourth lawsuit, filed on behalf of citizens of the Ecuadorian provinces of Esmeraldas and Sucumbíos, alleges personal injury, various counts of negligence, trespass, battery, assault, intentional infliction of emotional distress, violations of the Alien Tort Claims Act and various violations of international law. The four lawsuits were consolidated, and based on our motion granted by the court, the case was subsequently transferred to the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. On March 26, 2008, a First Amended Consolidated Complaint was filed that identified 3,266 individual plaintiffs. As of January 12, 2010, 1,256 of the plaintiffs have been dismissed by court orders. The amended complaint does not demand any specific monetary damages; however, a court decision against us, although we believe to be remote, could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition. The aerial spraying operations were and continue to be managed by us under a DoS contract in cooperation with the Colombian government. The DoS contract provides indemnification to us against third-party liabilities arising out of the contract, subject to available funding. The DoS has reimbursed us for all legal expenses to date.
A lawsuit filed on September 11, 2001, and amended on March 24, 2008, seeking unspecified damages on behalf of twenty-six residents of the Sucumbíos Province in Ecuador, was brought against our operating company and several of its former affiliates in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. The action alleges violations of the laws of nations and United States treaties, negligence, emotional distress, nuisance, battery, trespass, strict liability, and medical monitoring arising from the spraying of herbicides near the Ecuador-Colombia border in connection with the performance of the DoS, International Narcotics and Law Enforcement contract for the eradication of narcotic plant crops in Colombia. As of January 12, 2010, fifteen of the plaintiffs have been dismissed by court order. The terms of the DoS contract provide that the DoS will indemnify our operating company against third-party liabilities arising out of the contract, subject to available funding. The DoS has reimbursed us for all legal expenses to date. We are also entitled to indemnification by Computer Sciences Corporation in connection with this lawsuit, subject to certain limitations. Additionally, any damage award would have to be apportioned between the other defendants and our operating company. We believe that the likelihood of an unfavorable judgment in this matter is remote and that, even if that were to occur, the judgment is unlikely to result in a material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition as a result of the third party indemnification and apportionment of damages described above.

Arising out of the litigation described in the preceding two paragraphs, on September 22, 2008, we filed a separate lawsuit against our aviation insurance carriers seeking defense and coverage of the referenced claims. On November 9, 2009, the court granted our Partial Motion for Summary Judgment regarding the duty to defend. The carriers filed a motion for reargument, which has been fully briefed and is pending judgment. In a related action, the carriers filed a lawsuit against us on February 5, 2009, seeking rescission of certain aviation insurance policies based on an alleged misrepresentation by us concerning the existence of certain of the lawsuits relating to the eradication of narcotic plant crops. Since we filed an answer to the complaint, there has not been any significant activity.
U.S. Government Investigations
We also are occasionally the subject of investigations by various agencies of the U.S. government. Such investigations, whether related to our U.S. government contracts or conducted for other reasons, could result in administrative, civil or criminal liabilities, including repayments, fines or penalties being imposed upon us, or could lead to suspension or debarment from future U.S. government contracting.
On January 30, 2007, the Special Inspector General for Iraq Reconstruction (“SIGIR”) issued a report on one of our task orders concerning the Iraqi Police Training Program. Among other items, the report raises questions about our work to establish a residential camp in Baghdad to house training personnel. Specifically, the SIGIR report recommends that the DoS seek reimbursement of $4.2 million paid by the DoS to us for work that the SIGIR maintains was not contractually authorized. In addition, the SIGIR report recommends that the DoS request the Defense Contract Audit Agency (“DCAA”) to review two of our invoices totaling $19.1 million. On June 28, 2007, we received a letter from the DoS contracting officer requesting our repayment of approximately $4.0 million for work performed under this task order, which the letter claims was unauthorized. We responded to the DoS contracting officer in letters dated July 7, 2007 and September 4, 2007, explaining that the work for which we were paid by DoS was appropriately performed and denying DoS’ request for repayment of approximately $4.0 million. By letter dated April 30, 2008, the DoS contracting officer responded to our July 7, 2007 and September 4, 2007 correspondence by taking exception to the explanation set forth in our letters and reasserting the DoS’ request for a refund of approximately $4.0 million. On May 8, 2008, we replied to the DoS letter dated April 30, 2008 and provided additional support for our position.
On September 17, 2008, the U.S. Department of State Office of Inspector General (“OIG”) served us with a records subpoena for the production of documents relating to our Civilian Police Program in Iraq. Among other items, the subpoena seeks documents relating to our business dealings with a former subcontractor, Corporate Bank. We have been cooperating with the OIG’s investigation. In October 2009, we were notified by the Department of Justice that this investigation is being done in connection with a qui tam litigation brought by a private individual on behalf of the U.S. government. The subject matter of this litigation is still under seal; therefore, we cannot assess its effects on our operating performance.
U.S. Government Audits
Our contracts are regularly audited by the DCAA and other government agencies. These agencies review our contract performance, cost structure and compliance with applicable laws, regulations and standards. The DCAA also reviews the adequacy of, and our compliance with, our internal control systems and policies, including our purchasing, property, estimating, compensation and management information systems. Any costs found to be improperly allocated to a specific contract will not be reimbursed. In addition, government contract payments received by us for allowable direct and indirect costs are subject to adjustment after audit by government auditors and repayment to the government if the payments exceed allowable costs as defined in the government contracts.
The Defense Contract Management Agency (“DCMA”) formally notified us of non-compliance with Cost Accounting Standard 403, Allocation of Home Office Expenses to Segments, on April 11, 2007. We issued a response to the DCMA on April 26, 2007 with a proposed solution to resolve the area of non-compliance, which related to the allocation of corporate general and administrative costs between our divisions. On August 13, 2007, the DCMA notified us that additional information would be necessary to justify the proposed solution. We issued responses on September 17, 2007, April 28, 2008 and September 10, 2009 and the matter is pending resolution. Based on facts currently known, we do not believe the matters described in this and the preceding paragraph will have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition.

We are currently under audit by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) for employment taxes covering the calendar years 2005 through 2007. In the course of the audit process, the IRS has questioned our treatment of exempting from U.S. employment taxes all U.S. residents working abroad for a foreign subsidiary. While we believe our treatment with respect to employment taxes, for these employees, was appropriate, a negative outcome on this matter could result in a potential liability, including penalties, of approximately $113.8 million related to these calendar years.
Contract Matters
During the first quarter of fiscal year 2009 we terminated for cause a contract to build the Akwa Ibom International Airport for the State of Akwa Ibom in Nigeria. Consequently, we terminated certain subcontracts and purchase orders the customer advised us it did not want to assume. Based on our experience with this particular Nigerian state government customer, we believe it is likely the customer will challenge our termination of the contract for cause and initiate legal action against us. Our termination of certain subcontracts not assumed by the customer, including our actions to recover against advance payment and performance guarantees established by the subcontractors for our benefit is being challenged in certain instances. Although we believe our right to terminate this contract and such subcontracts was justified and permissible under the terms of the contracts, and we intend to rigorously contest any claims brought against us arising out of such terminations, if courts were to conclude that we were not entitled to terminate one or more of the contracts and damages were assessed against us, such damages could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition.
Note 9—Equity-Based Compensation
As of January 1, 2010, we have outstanding equity-based compensation through the grant of Class B interests in DIV Holding LLC, the largest holder of our common stock and have granted restricted stock units and performance stock units under our 2007 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “2007 Plan”). All of our equity-based compensation is accounted for under ASC 718 – Compensation-Stock Compensation. Under this method, we recorded equity-based compensation expense of $0.3 million and $1.2 million for the three months ended January 1, 2010 and January 2, 2009, respectively, and $2.5 million and $2.4 million for the nine months ended January 1, 2010 and January 2, 2009, respectively.
Class B Equity
During the nine months ended January 1, 2010, we had no new grants but had forfeiture events in both the first quarter and third quarter of fiscal year 2010. Consequently, the fiscal year to date expense recognized for Class B activity was the result of the quarterly amortization from the graded vesting schedule, partially offset by the impact of the forfeited class B interests.
A summary of Class B activity during the first nine months of fiscal year 2010 is as follows:

Restricted Stock Units and Performance Stock Units
Our RSUs vest based on the passage of time and our PSUs vest based on the achievement of performance criteria. During the first nine months of fiscal year 2010, we granted 607,050 RSUs and PSUs, including 12,500 RSUs issued to our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) as a result of fiscal year 2009 performance, with one third vesting on his employment anniversary date in fiscal year 2010, fiscal year 2011 and fiscal year 2012.
During the nine months ended January 1, 2010, 88,045 units vested. We settled 33,826 units with treasury shares and 32,524 units with cash. These settlements were made net of payroll tax withholding. As of January 1, 2010, 21,695 units were vested but unsettled.
We recognize compensation expense related to the RSUs and PSUs on a graded schedule over the requisite service period, net of estimated forfeitures. Compensation expense related to RSUs and PSUs was $0.4 million and $2.3 million for the three months and nine months ended January 1, 2010, respectively, and $0.7 million and $1.8 million for the three and nine months ended January 2, 2009, respectively.
Additionally, all RSUs and PSUs have been determined to be liability awards; therefore, the fair value of the RSUs and PSUs are re-measured at each financial reporting date as long as they remain liability awards. The estimated fair value of the RSUs and PSUs as of January 1, 2010, was approximately $13.5 million, excluding the impact of estimated future forfeitures, based on the closing market price of our stock on the grant date and was approximately $11.5 million, excluding the impact of estimated future forfeitures, based on the closing market price of our stock on January 1, 2010. Of these amounts, approximately $8.5 million is yet to be recognized as expense.
Specific to our PSUs, the estimated fair value is also impacted by our estimated probability of achieving the associated performance criteria. As of January 1, 2010, we estimated a 100% probability of achieving the PSU targets.
A summary of the combined RSU and PSU activity during the nine months of fiscal year 2010 is as follows:
                 
            Weighted  
    Outstanding     Average

During the nine months ended January 1, 2010, one of our consolidated joint ventures, DIFZ, in which we have a 50% ownership interest, established a 2009 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “DIFZ Plan”). Under the DIFZ Plan, the joint venture can issue equity based awards to its employees. Although these awards are only paid in cash, the value of these awards is tied to our common stock. As such, these awards qualify as equity-based compensation under ASC 718. As of the nine months ended January 1, 2010, the liabilities and expenses associated with the DIFZ Plan were not material.

Note 11—Related Parties, Joint Ventures and Variable Interest Entities
Management Fee
We pay Veritas Capital an annual management fee of $0.3 million plus expenses to provide us with general business management, financial, strategic and consulting services. We paid $0.1 million and $0.4 million to Veritas Capital for the three and nine months ended January 1, 2010, respectively and paid $0.1 million and $0.4 million for the three and nine months ended January 2, 2009, respectively.
Joint Ventures
Amounts due from our unconsolidated joint ventures totaled $7.8 million and $2.5 million as of January 1, 2010 and April 3, 2009, respectively. These receivables are a result of items purchased and services rendered by us on behalf of our unconsolidated joint ventures. We have assessed these receivables as having minimal collection risk based on our historic experience with these joint ventures and our inherent influence through our ownership interest. The change in these receivables from April 3, 2009 to January 1, 2010 resulted in a use of operating cash for the nine months ended January 1, 2010 of approximately $5.3 million. The related revenue associated with our unconsolidated joint ventures totaled $0.3 million and $2.9 million for the three and nine months ended January 1, 2010, respectively, and $2.1 million and $16.1 million for the three and nine months ended January 2, 2009, respectively. Additionally, we earned $1.3 million and $3.9 million in equity method income in the three and nine months ended January 1, 2010, respectively, and $1.3 million and $4.0 million in the three and nine months ended January 2, 2009, respectively.
As a result of the sale of 50% of our ownership interest in DIFZ in fiscal year 2009, we currently hold three promissory notes from our joint venture partner which had an aggregate initial value of $9.7 million as a result of the sales price. The notes are included in Prepaid expenses and other current assets and in Other assets on our consolidated balance sheet for the short and long-term portions, respectively. As of January 1, 2010, the loan balance outstanding was $8.4 million, reflecting the initial value plus accrued interest, less payments against the promissory notes.
Variable Interest Entities
Our population of variable interest entities, associated primary beneficiary assessments, and our joint venture ownership percentages have not changed from the information disclosed in our fiscal year 2009 Annual Report. Additionally, Veritas Capital, the majority owner of DIV Holding, continues to be the majority owner of McNeil Technologies, our GLS partner. In the aggregate, our maximum exposure to losses as a result of our investment in VIEs consists of our $8.2 million investment in unconsolidated subsidiaries, $7.8 million in receivables from our joint ventures, working capital funding to GLS as well as contingent liabilities that were neither probable nor reasonably estimable as of January 1, 2010. While the amount of funding we provide to GLS can vary significantly due to timing of payments to vendors and collections from its customer, the average balance over the prior 12 months was approximately $22.9 million.

Table of Contents

GLS assets and liabilities were $136.6 million and $103.3 million at January 1, 2010, respectively, as compared to $150.5 million and $129.6 million at April 3, 2009, respectively. Additionally, GLS revenue was $177.5 million and $574.2 million for the three and nine months ended January 1, 2010, respectively, as compared to $199.0 million and $518.7 million for the three and nine months ended January 2, 2009, respectively.
DIFZ assets and liabilities were $60.0 million and $56.9 million, respectively, as of January 1, 2010, as compared to $38.0 million and $36.5 million at April 3, 2009, respectively. Additionally, DIFZ revenue was $105.8 million and $299.7 million for the three and nine months ended January 1, 2010, respectively; as compared to $28.2 million and $96.5 million for the three and nine months ended January 2, 2009, respectively. DIFZ revenue and costs are eliminated in consolidation.
Note 12—Collaborative Arrangement
We participate in a collaborative arrangement with two of our partners on the Logistics Civil Augmentation Program (“LOGCAP IV”). The purpose of this arrangement is to share some of the risks and rewards associated with this contract. We receive working capital contributions to mitigate the risks associated with the timing of cash inflows and outflows. We also share in the profits.
We account for this collaborative arrangement under ASC 808 — Collaborative Arrangements. We record revenue gross as the prime contractor. The cash inflows, outflows, as well as expenses incurred impact cost of services in the period realized or incurred. We shared total profits of $1.9 million and $2.6 million from this collaborative arrangement for the three and nine months ended January 1, 2010, respectively. We shared total losses of $1.5 million and $2.6 million from this collaborative for the three and nine months January 2, 2009, respectively.
In December 2009, we removed one of our collaborative partners (see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Notable Events for the nine months ended January 1, 2010), which increased our LOGCAP IV profit sharing percentage from 40% to 70%.
Note 13—Segment Information
As discussed in Note 3, we have a new organizational realignment which resulted in three new operating segments. The purpose of the realignment is to support our transition, as we become an integrated global enterprise, by more closely aligning our organization with our strategic markets and continuing to streamline our infrastructure to facilitate growth. We believe this new structure better reflects our market focus and better positions us to achieve our goal of becoming the leading global government services provider and a high-performing integrated global enterprise.
The three segments are as follows:
Global Stabilization and Development Solutions, or GSDS segment provides a diverse collection of outsourced services, primarily to government agencies worldwide. GSDS consists of the International Civilian Police Program (“CivPol”) SBA, the Security & Mentoring SBA, the LOGCAP IV SBA, the Operations SBA, the Infrastructure SBA and the Intelligence and Training Solutions SBA.
Global Platform Support Solutions, or GPSS segment provides a wide range of technical, engineering, logistics and maintenance support services primarily to government agencies worldwide. Additionally, GPSS provides services including drug eradication and host nation pilot and crew training. GPSS consists of the Aviation Life Cycle Support SBA, the Domestic Aviation Operations and Support SBA, the Field Service Operations SBA, the International Aviation Operations & Support SBA, the International Narcotics and Law Enforcement (“INL Air Wing”) SBA and the Land Systems SBA.
Global Linguist Solutions, or GLS segment provides rapid recruitment, deployment and on-site management of in-theatre interpreters and translators to the U.S. military for a wide range of foreign languages. GLS consists of the linguist service line SBA.

Note 14—Fair Value of Financial Assets and Liabilities
ASC 820 – Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. These tiers include:
   
Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets;
 
   
Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable; and
 
   
Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions.
As of January 1, 2010, we held certain assets and liabilities that are required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis. These included cash equivalents (including restricted cash), interest rate derivatives and contingent earn-out consideration from our acquisition of Phoenix. Cash equivalents consist of petty cash, cash in-bank and short-term, highly liquid, income-producing investments with original maturities of 90 days or less. Our interest rate derivatives, as further described in Note 7, consist of interest rate swap contracts. The fair values of the interest rate swap contracts are determined based on inputs that are readily available in public markets or can be derived from information available in publicly quoted markets. Therefore, we have categorized these interest rate swap contracts as Level 2. We have consistently applied these valuation techniques in all periods presented. The contingent earn-out consideration, as discussed in Note 15, relates to the consideration to be paid to the selling shareholders of Phoenix. The fair value of the contingent consideration arrangement was determined using the weighted fiscal year 2010 forecasts discounted based on our weighted average cost of capital. As the valuation is based on internal models with inputs that are not observable, we have categorized the contingent earn-out consideration as Level 3.
Our assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis subject to the disclosure requirements of ASC 820 at January 1, 2010, were as follows:

Note 15—Acquisition
On October 18, 2009, we acquired 100% of the outstanding shares of Phoenix, a leading provider of intelligence training, consultative and augmentation services to a wide range of U.S. government organizations. This acquisition is consistent with our goal of accelerating growth, expanding service offerings and penetrating new segments. It extends our ability to deliver compelling services to the intelligence community and national security clients. The Company funded the purchase price with cash on hand.
Phoenix has been incorporated into the GSDS operating segment as its own strategic business area representing a new service offering for the Company. Revenue since the acquisition totaled $5.2 million through January 1, 2010. The associated operating income has been immaterial.
The purchase price is comprised of the following three elements:
         
    Purchase  
(Amounts in thousands)   Elements  
Cash paid for acquisition at closing
  $ 38,573  
Final working capital adjustment paid during the third quarter of fiscal year 2010

Fair value of contingent earn-out consideration payable in fiscal year 2011
    2,707  
 
     
Total purchase price
  $ 42,374  
 
     
The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination pursuant to ASC 805 — Business Combinations. In accordance with ASC 805, the purchase price has been allocated to assets and liabilities based on their estimated fair value at the acquisition date. The following table represents the allocation of the purchase price to the acquired assets and liabilities and resulting goodwill (in thousands):

Earn-out consideration liability
    3,379  
Other liabilities assumed
    6,537  
 
     
Goodwill
  $ 28,176  
 
     
Management determined the purchase price allocations for the acquisition based on estimates of the fair values of the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed. We utilized recognized valuation techniques, including the income approach and cost approach for intangible assets and the cost approach for tangible assets.
The carrying amount of receivables approximates fair value as the acquired receivables are short-term in nature and have high probability of collection. There were no significant receivables determined to be uncollectable as of the date of the acquisition. Given that Phoenix only served the U.S. government, we believe the impact of any uncollected receivables would be immaterial to our consolidated financial statements.
The purchase price includes $4.4 million held in escrow for indemnification liabilities (as defined by the stock purchase agreement) of the seller, $3.4 million of which (less any amounts applied to claims) is expected to be released in March 2011. The final $1.0 million will be released in September 2013 (less any amount applied to claims). The seller’s indemnification obligations are not capped at the amount of the escrow. In accordance with the indemnification obligations set forth in the purchase agreement, we recorded an indemnification asset of $2.5 million related to an uncertain income tax position and a payroll tax liability.

Table of Contents

Acquired intangible assets of $12.4 million consisted of customer relationships, non-compete agreements, training materials, software, and trade name. The amortization period for these intangible assets ranges from two to ten years. We recorded $0.3 in amortization during the three months ended January 1, 2009 covering the period of October 19, 2009 through January 1, 2010. The major classes of intangible assets are as follows:
                 
    Weighted Average        
(Amounts in thousands)   Useful Life     Amount  
Customer relationships
    7.5     $ 2,827

Tradename
    5       381  
 
             
 
          $ 12,352  
 
             
The goodwill arising from the acquisition consists largely of expectations that Phoenix extends our ability to deliver compelling services to national security clients and the intelligence community, which is consistent with our goal of accelerating growth, expanding service offerings and penetrating new segments. In addition, the acquisition is expected to strengthen the Company as a leading provider of specialized mission-critical services to civilian and military government agencies worldwide. The goodwill recognized is not deductible for tax purposes.
We recognized $0.7 million of acquisition related costs that were expensed in the second quarter in fiscal year 2010 and are included in selling, general and administrative expenses in our consolidated statements of income for the nine months ended January 1, 2010.
The Phoenix stock purchase agreement provides for earn-out payments ranging from a minimum of zero to a maximum of $5.0 million contingent upon the achievement of certain revenue and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization targets for the calendar year ending December 31, 2010. The fair value of the contingent consideration arrangement was determined to be $3.4 million using the weighted fiscal year 2010 forecasts discounted based on our weighted average cost of capital. Subsequent changes in the fair value of the contingent earn-out liability will be recorded in earnings.
In addition to the purchase price, we agreed with the seller to pay $7.5 million into an escrow account for retention bonuses for key Phoenix employees. The retention bonuses will be paid upon completion of the individual retention periods ranging from March 2011 to October 2012. Additionally, termination without cause, termination by reason of death or disability or resignation for good reason will result in an accelerated retention payment. Alternatively, if the employee resigns or is terminated for cause prior to completion of the retention period he/she forfeits either all or a portion of their retention bonus. One retention employee was terminated without cause in the third quarter of fiscal year 2010 which triggered a $1.7 million payment and related expense. The remainder of the deferred compensation expense will be amortized from periods ranging from 17 to 36 months after the acquisition date, the requisite vesting periods. The remaining $5.8 million is expected to be paid in March 2011.
Note 16—Subsequent Events
We evaluated subsequent events that occurred after the period end date through February 8, 2010. We concluded that no subsequent events have occurred that require recognition on our financial statements for the three months or the nine months ended January 1, 2010. However, we determined that the acquisition of Casals & Associates, Inc. (“Casals”) on January 22, 2010 merited additional disclosure.
On January 22, 2010, we acquired 100% of the stock of Casals, a private company that helps to achieve U.S. foreign policy and international development priorities assisting in the development of stable and democratic governments, implementing anti-corruption initiatives and aiding the growth of democratic public and civil institutions.

Table of Contents

The total purchase price for Casals consists of a base purchase price of approximately $5.9 million plus or minus a post-closing net working capital adjustment. The base purchase price, which was paid at the closing, was funded with cash on hand. Through the post-closing net working capital adjustment, we will either pay or receive proceeds based on the final determination of net working capital at closing to the extent that the amount thereof is greater or less than estimated net working capital at closing.
The base purchase price and the contingent consideration exclude (i) up to $1.5 million of contingent consideration to retain certain key employees that may be payable through fiscal year 2011 and (ii) acquisition related costs of approximately $0.5 million, which will be included in selling, general and administrative expenses.
The acquisition will be accounted for as a business purchase pursuant to ASC 805 — Business Combinations. In accordance with ASC 805, the purchase price will be allocated to assets and liabilities based on their estimated fair value at the acquisition date. The fair value of the contingent consideration at the acquisition date will be included in the purchase price allocation.
The goodwill arising from the acquisition consists largely of expectations that the addition of Casals extends our ability to deliver compelling services to the international development community. The goodwill recognized is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.
Casals will be incorporated into the GSDS operating segment. The assets, liabilities, and results of operations of Casals are not expected to be material to our consolidated financial position or results or operations.

CURRENT OPERATING CONDITIONS AND OUTLOOK
There have been no material changes to the Company’s industry outlook, economic conditions, or internal strategy from those disclosed in the Company’s Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 3, 2009.
Notable Events for the nine months ended January 1, 2010
   
The LOGCAP IV task order in southern Afghanistan with an estimated value of approximately $600 million was awarded in July 2009 and ramp-up activities began in September 2009.
 
   
In September 2009, we were awarded a contract by the U.S. Air Force to provide aircraft maintenance support at Sheppard Air Force Base. The value of the contract is $31.2 million for the base period, and a potential maximum value of $230 million over seven years, if all options are exercised. Operations started ramping up in October 2009.
 
   
We were awarded a WPPS task order that was originally expected to ramp-up in the second quarter of fiscal year 2010, but due to changes in customer requirements was delayed. Most of the services are now being delivered under the INL Air Wing program, which commenced in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2010.
 
   
During the second quarter, we purchased helicopters in support of our new WPPS air services task order. Given the availability of customer assets to support this program, we mutually agreed to a task order modification under which the customer will now supply its own helicopters. As a result, we plan to utilize all but three of the purchased helicopter assets on another program. We have sold one and plan to sell the remaining two helicopters that we do not intend to use in other programs.
 
   
During the nine months ended January 1, 2010, we continued to encounter cost overruns in our Afghanistan construction projects, within our infrastructure service offering, due to significant challenges including the deteriorating security environment and issues with getting equipment through customs in Afghanistan. The nine months ended January 1, 2010 results included a loss on Afghanistan construction of $10.0 million, including $0.8 million related to the third fiscal quarter. We expect that our firm fixed-price Afghanistan construction contracts will continue to operate at a loss or at margins approaching zero over the contract terms. Accordingly, we do not expect to bid on any similar firm fixed-price contracts without revised terms and conditions.

On the GLS program, we completed negotiations with the customer to modify our largest task order to include a ceiling for recoverable cost of $752 million, resulting in a cumulative reduction to revenue of approximately $6.0 million during the nine months ended January 1, 2010. In connection with these negotiations, our customer exercised another option under the task order covering a period from December 2009 to June 2010.
 
   
We purchased Phoenix Consulting Group, Inc. on October 19, 2009. See Note 15 - Acquisition for additional information concerning this acquisition.
 
   
We have historically participated in a collaborative arrangement with two other partners on LOGCAP IV. In November 2009, a U.S. grand jury indicted one of our collaborative partners, Agility, on charges of fraud and conspiracy alleging that it overcharged the U.S. Army on $8.5 billion worth of contracts to provide food to soldiers in Iraq, Kuwait and Jordan. Although Agility is associated with our LOGCAP IV collaborative arrangement, these allegations were in no way related to the work performed under LOGCAP IV. Effective December 16, 2009 we removed Agility as a collaborative partner on the LOGCAP IV contract and terminated the work under existing task orders. We have transitioned Agility’s responsibilities on our current task orders with no adverse affect to us.
 
   
On December 16, 2009, we filed a pre-award protest with the Government Accountability Office (“GAO”) concerning the planned procurement of training and mentoring of police and government personnel in Afghanistan by the DoD through task orders issued by the U.S. Army Space and Missile Defense Command Counter-Narcoterrorism Technology Program Office (“CNTPO”). Under a CNTPO contract vehicle, we would be unable to bid on future CivPol task orders in Afghanistan. As we are the incumbent contractor currently performing the work, we believe it is in the customer’s best interest to allow us to bid on such work. We expect to learn the result of our bid protest in March  2010.
CONTRACT TYPES
Our business is performed under fixed-price, time-and-materials or cost-reimbursement contracts. Each contract type is described below.
   
Fixed-Price Type Contracts: In a fixed-price contract, the price is not subject to adjustment based on costs incurred, which can favorably or adversely impact our profitability depending upon our execution in performing the contracted service. Fixed-price contracts received by us include firm fixed-price, fixed-price with economic adjustment, and fixed-price incentive.
 
   
Time-and-Materials Type Contracts: A time-and-materials type contract provides for acquiring supplies or services on the basis of direct labor hours at fixed hourly/daily rates plus materials at cost.
 
   
Cost-Reimbursement Type Contracts: Cost-reimbursement type contracts provide for payment of allowable incurred costs, to the extent prescribed in the contract, plus a fixed-fee, award-fee or incentive-fee. Award-fees or incentive-fees are generally based upon various objective and subjective criteria, such as aircraft mission capability rates and meeting cost targets.
Any of these three types of contracts discussed above may be executed under an indefinite order indefinite quantity (“IDIQ”) contract, which are often awarded to multiple contractors. An IDIQ contract does not represent a firm order for services. Our CivPol, Field Teams, and LOGCAP IV programs are three examples of IDIQ contracts.

The following table sets forth our approximate fiscal year revenue recognized per our contract mix as of the dates indicated:
                                 
    Three Months Ended     Nine months Ended  
    January 1, 2010     January 2, 2009     January 1, 2010     January 2, 2009  
 
                               
Fixed-Price
    26.6 %     23.6 %     26.4 %     27.6 %
Time-and-Materials
    14.8 %     23.1 %     17.7 %     24.4 %
Cost-Reimbursement
    58.6 %     53.3 %     55.9 %     48.0 %
 
                       
Total
    100 %     100 %     100 %     100 %
 
                       
Over the last year, we have seen an increase in our revenue attributable to cost-reimbursable contracts with corresponding decreases to fixed-price and time-and-materials contracts. This was primarily due to changes from fixed-price to cost-reimbursable task orders on our CivPol program as well as the impact of our largest cost-reimbursable contracts, LOGCAP IV and INSCOM, together making up a greater percentage of our consolidated revenue in fiscal year 2010 compared to fiscal year 2009.
BACKLOG
We track backlog in order to assess our current business development effectiveness and to assist us in forecasting our future business needs and financial performance. Our backlog consists of funded and unfunded amounts under contracts. Funded backlog is equal to the amounts actually appropriated by a customer for payment of goods and services less actual revenue recognized as of the measurement date under that appropriation. Unfunded backlog is the actual dollar value of unexercised, priced contract options, and the unfunded portion of exercised contract options. Most of our U.S. government contracts allow the customer the option to extend the period of performance of a contract for a period of one or more years. These priced options may or may not be exercised at the sole discretion of the customer. It has been our experience that the customer has typically exercised contract options.
Firm funding for our contracts is usually made for one year at a time, with the remainder of the contract period consisting of a series of one-year options. Option periods are subject to the availability of funding for contract performance. The U.S. government is legally prohibited from ordering work under a contract in the absence of funding. Our historical experience has been that the government has typically funded the option periods of our contracts.
The following table sets forth our backlog as of the dates indicated (dollars in millions):
                 
    January 1, 2010     April 3, 2009  
 
               
Funded Backlog
  $ 1,686     $ 1,431  
Unfunded Backlog
    4,451       4,867  
 
           
Total Backlog
  $ 6,137     $ 6,298  
 
           
Total backlog as of January 1, 2010 was $6.1 billion, as compared to $6.3 billion as of April 3, 2009, primarily due to progress on the INSCOM contract partially offset by new task orders under LOGCAP IV and our new award providing aircraft maintenance support at Sheppard Air Force Base. As of January 1, 2010 and April 3, 2009, total backlog related to GLS was $2.5 billion and $3.1 billion, respectively. Additionally, total backlog related to LOGCAP IV was $0.4 billion at January 1, 2010 and included in the table above.
ESTIMATED REMAINING CONTRACT VALUE
Our estimated remaining contract value represents total backlog plus management’s estimate of future revenue under IDIQ contracts for task or delivery orders that have not been awarded. Future revenue represents management’s estimate of revenue that will be recognized from future task or delivery orders through the end of the term of such IDIQ contracts and is based on our experience under such IDIQ contracts and our estimates as to future performance. Although we believe our estimates are reasonable, there can be no assurance that our existing contracts will result in actual revenue in any particular period or at all. Our estimated remaining contract value could vary or even change significantly depending upon various factors including government policies, government budgets and appropriations, the accuracy of our estimates of work to be performed under time-and-material contracts and whether we successfully compete with any multiple bidders in IDIQ contracts. As of January 1, 2010 and April 3, 2009, our estimated remaining contract value was $9.9 billion and $8.4 billion, respectively, due to an increase in our estimated IDIQ contract revenue partially offset by a decline in backlog.

Revenue — Revenue for the three and nine months ended January 1, 2010 increased by $122.6 million, or 15.5%, and $233.2 million, or 10.2%, respectively, as compared with revenue for the three and nine months ended January 2, 2009. From a three month perspective, revenue increased primarily due to the ramp-up of the LOGCAP IV program, partially offset by decreases in our Field Teams and CivPol programs. From a nine month perspective, the increase was primarily driven by the ramp-up of the LOGCAP IV program and the benefit of a full nine months of revenue from the Intelligence and Security Command (“INSCOM”) contract, including award fees, as compared to the INSCOM ramp-up period which occurred during the first quarter of fiscal year 2009. Our acquisition of Phoenix also contributed to our revenue growth for both the three and nine months ended January 1, 2010.
Cost of services — Costs of services are comprised of direct labor, direct material, subcontractor costs, other direct costs and overhead. Other direct costs include travel, supplies and other miscellaneous costs. Costs of services for the three and nine months ended January 1, 2010 increased by $118.5 million, or 16.8%, and $210.0 million, or 10.3%, respectively, as compared with the three and nine months ended January 2, 2009. As a percentage of revenue, costs of services increased to 89.9% and 89.2% for the three and nine months ended January 1, 2010, respectively, as compared with 88.9% and 89.1% for the three and nine months ended January 2, 2009, respectively. This increase was primarily driven by lower margins on our Field Teams and CivPol programs, an increase in revenue from cost-reimbursable type contracts as compared to fixed-priced contracts and the impact of the fee sharing arrangement with our collaborative partners on the LOGCAP IV program. Partially offsetting this cost increase was effective cost management efforts on certain programs in our GPSS segment, higher award fees on the INSCOM contract that had no corresponding costs, and lower losses associated with Afghanistan construction.
Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) — SG&A primarily relates to functions such as management, legal, financial accounting, contracts and administration, human resources, management information systems, purchasing and business development. SG&A expenses for the three and nine months ended January 1, 2010 increased by $5.8 million, or 22.1%, and $6.7 million, or 8.4%, respectively, as compared to the three and nine months ended January 2, 2009. As a percentage of revenue, SG&A expenses were 3.5% for the three months ended January 1, 2010 as compared to 3.3% for the three months ended January 2, 2009. SG&A expenses for the period were impacted by severance costs incurred during the third quarter of fiscal year 2010, costs associated with our acquisition strategy, and higher business development costs incurred in support of our growth. As a percentage of revenue, SG&A expenses were 3.5% for the nine months ended January 1, 2010 and January 2, 2009, primarily due to factors resulting in higher SG&A expenses above offset by our former CEO’s severance package incurred in the first quarter of fiscal year 2009.
Depreciation and amortization — Depreciation and amortization for the three and nine months ended January 1, 2010 increased by $0.5 million, or 5.0%, and $0.3 million, or 1.0%, respectively, as compared to the three and nine months ended January 2, 2009. This increase was primarily due to incremental depreciation and amortization associated with our technology transformation initiative, which began to ramp-up during the second quarter of fiscal year 2010. This investment to modernize and upgrade our IT systems will enable more efficient and effective utilization of IT applications, provide better redundancy and reliability, integrate systems that were previously disconnected and support future growth. Also impacting the increase was the amortization of the intangible assets we acquired in our purchase of Phoenix.
Interest expense — Interest expense for the three and nine months ended January 1, 2010 decreased by $1.7 million, or 10.9%, and $2.5 million, or 5.6%, respectively, as compared with the three and nine months ended January 2, 2009. The interest expense incurred relates to our credit facility, senior subordinated notes, and amortization of deferred financing fees. The decrease in interest expense was primarily due to a lower principal balance stemming from the excess cash flow principal payment on the credit facility and repurchases of senior subordinated notes that occurred in fiscal year 2010. Also impacting the decrease was one less week of interest expense during the nine months ended January 1, 2010 as compared to the nine months ended January 2, 2009.
Income tax expense — Our effective tax rate decreased to 28% and 31.2% for the three and nine months ended January 1, 2010, respectively, as compared with 31.1% and 31.4% for the three and nine months ended January 2, 2009, respectively. Our effective tax rate was impacted by our reduced full year outlook and the tax treatment of our GLS and DIFZ joint ventures, which are not consolidated for tax purposes but are instead taxed as partnerships under the Internal Revenue Code.

Revenue — Revenue of $426.6 million for the three months ended January 1, 2010 increased $161.4 million, or 60.8%, as compared with the three months ended January 2, 2009. The increase was primarily the result of the following:
Security & Training: Revenue of $179.2 million increased $3.2 million, or 1.8%, primarily as a result of a scope increase in our WPPS security services task order in Iraq and a new WPPS security services task order in Pakistan. Also contributing to the increase was our new Multinational Security Transition Command-Iraq (“MNSTC-I”) program which launched after January 2, 2009 and scope increases on our CivPol program in Afghanistan. Partially offsetting the revenue generated by these programs was the decline in our revenue earned under CivPol program in Iraq. We expect this downward trend in Iraq to continue into the fourth quarter. In terms of the training mission going forward in Afghanistan, the DoD will oversee the operations and is attempting to transition the contract vehicle for the police training from a DoS contract to a DoD contract, under which we are not a contract party. We have filed a pre-award protest with the GAO concerning the transition and related planned procurement of training and mentoring of police and government personnel in Afghanistan in order to allow us to continue bidding on this work post-transition. While the time table for a potential contract transition is not clear, we believe that our current task order, which has been extended to July 2010, may be extended, pending the outcome of the protest. If our bid protest is granted, we will be able to compete to provide the services under the new contract vehicle; however, if our bid protest is unsuccessful, we will be unable to service the DoD contract in fiscal year 2011, which is likely to adversely affect our operating performance.
Contingency Support and Operations: Revenue of $226.3 million increased $161.1 million or 246.8%, primarily due to increases on our LOGCAP IV program. We expect future growth in this service offering to be primarily driven by the recently awarded Afghanistan South task order on our LOGCAP IV program that carries an annual revenue potential of approximately $600 million. Although we have started work on this program, due to the timing of the award and transition period, we do not expect to achieve, in fiscal year 2010, the full fiscal year revenue implied by the annual revenue potential of this program.
Infrastructure: Revenue of $15.9 million decreased by $8.1 million, or 33.8%, primarily due to the impact of our Afghanistan construction projects. We do not expect to bid on any similar fixed-price contracts in Afghanistan without revised terms and conditions. This may impact future revenue in this segment by limiting the construction opportunities available to us.
Intelligence Training and Solutions: Revenue of $5.2 million for the three months ended January 1, 2010 represents a partial quarter since the acquisition of Phoenix closed on October 19, 2009. We anticipate future increases in revenue as we look to leverage our investment in this new SBA through the pursuit of new contracts.
Operating Income — Operating income of $13.4 million for the three months ended January 1, 2010 decreased $5.6 million as compared with the three months ended January 2, 2009. This decrease was primarily due to a decline in operating income on our CivPol program resulting from scope reductions in Iraq which we expect to continue into the fourth quarter, and the shift from fixed price task orders to cost plus task orders in both Iraq and Afghanistan. Also contributing to the decline was the impact of acquisition related retention bonus, contingent compensation and intangible amortization expenses associated with our acquisition of Phoenix. Partially offsetting the decline was operating income stemming from the continued ramp-up of LOGCAP IV operations. Going forward, we expect LOGCAP IV to become more profitable as a result of the change in our collaborative partners, as discussed in Note 12 of this Quarterly Report.

Revenue — Revenue of $310.7 million for the three months ended January 1, 2010 decreased $19.1 million, or 5.8%, as compared with the three months ended January 2, 2009. The decrease primarily resulted from the following:
Aviation: Revenue of $274.6 million decreased $15.3 million, or 5.3%, for the three months ended January 1, 2010, as compared to the three months ended January 2, 2009. The decrease was primarily driven by declines in our Field Service Operations (“FSO”) programs of $30.9 million. FSO revenue declined due to the completion of several CFT task orders, for which we did not win the re-competes due to additional competitors in this service space bidding what we believe to be at zero margin or negative margin levels. While this current competitive environment has put downward pressure on fiscal year 2010 revenue, we do not believe the current situation is sustainable and will not limit our long-term opportunities under the CFT program. These declines were partially offset by an increase in services on our INL Air Wing program in Afghanistan, the ramp-up of the Sheppard Air Force base program and the WPPS aviation services contract. We also expect continued growth driven by our WPPS task order win to provide aircraft maintenance and air transportation services that is expected to ramp-up during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2010.
Land Systems: Revenue of $36.1 million decreased $3.8 million, or 9.6%, for the three months ended January 1, 2010, as compared to the three months ended January 2, 2009, primarily due to the wind-down of the Army Prepositioned Stocks (“APS-3”) program which has transitioned to a competitor as well as a reduction in services on the GMC program. Partially offsetting was the impact of MRAP revenue of $26.4 million which was up $3.2 million as compared to the three months ended January 2, 2009 due to an increase in services.
Operating Income — Operating income of $24.1 million for the three months ended January 1, 2010 increased by $1.5 million, or 6.7%, as compared with the three months ended January 2, 2009. This was primarily attributable to better cost management in several key aviation programs such as our LCCS & INL Air Wing programs as well as increased revenue on the high margin MRAP program. Partially offsetting this increase was lower gross profit of $4.6 million on our FSO programs resulting from increased competition and completion of task orders. Although we expect our MRAP program to continue to have strong margins in fiscal year 2011, we expect lower gross profit on our MRAP program starting in fiscal year 2011 reflecting an adjusted rate structure on the next option period.
Global Linguist Solutions
Revenue — Revenue of $177.5 million decreased $21.5 million, or 10.8%, for the three months ended January 1, 2010, as compared to the three months ended January 2, 2009. The decrease is primarily attributable to a reduction in the number of linguists supporting troops in Iraq, a result of the troop draw-down in that country. This decline was offset by improved award fee performance as compared to the comparable period in fiscal year 2009. We expect revenue to decline in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2010, due to further reductions in linguist counts.
Operating Income — Operating income of $11.9 million increased $2.0 million for the three months ended January 1, 2010, as compared to the three months ended January 2, 2009. This increase was primarily attributable to higher comparative award fees primarily due to performance on the contract, offset by lower overall revenue. Operating income earned by GLS benefits net income attributable to DynCorp International Inc. by our 51% ownership of the joint venture.

Revenue — Revenue of $1,047.2 million for the nine months ended January 1, 2010 increased $248.4 million, or 31.1%, as compared with the nine months ended January 2, 2009. The increase was primarily the result of the following:
Security & Training: Revenue of $552.8 million increased $21.5 million, or 4.0%, primarily as a result of a scope increase in our WPPS security services task order in Iraq and a new WPPS security services task order in Pakistan. Also contributing to the increase was our new MNSTC-I program which launched after January 2, 2009. Partially offsetting this increase was a decline in our CivPol program as a result of reductions in equipment purchases. In terms of the training mission going forward in Afghanistan, we believe that operational oversight may transition to the DoD to a contract under which we are not a contract party. See our discussion above in the three months ended January 1, 2010 for further details regarding this transition.
Contingency Support and Operations: Revenue of $427.8 million increased $253.3 million or 145.1%, primarily due to increases from the Kuwait task orders and ramp-up of our southern Afghanistan task orders on our LOGCAP IV program. We expect future growth in this service offering to be primarily driven by the recently awarded Afghanistan task order on our LOGCAP IV program that carries an annual revenue potential of approximately $600 million. Although we have started work on this program, due to the timing of the award and transition period, we do not expect to achieve in fiscal year 2010 the full fiscal year revenue implied by the annual revenue potential of this program.
Infrastructure: Revenue of $61.4 million decreased by $31.6 million, or 33.9%, primarily due to the wind-down of a large construction project in Afghanistan combined with the termination of an airport construction contract in Africa, which occurred in the first quarter of fiscal year 2009. These declines were offset in part by increases from two separate Afghanistan construction projects that commenced after the beginning of fiscal year 2009. We do not expect to bid on any similar fixed-price contracts in Afghanistan without revised terms and conditions. This may impact future revenue in this segment by limiting the construction opportunities available to us.
Intelligence Training and Solutions: Revenue of $5.2 million for the three months ended January 1, 2010 represents a partial quarter since the acquisition of Phoenix closed on October 19, 2009. We anticipate future increases in revenue as we look to leverage our investment in this new SBA through the pursuit of new contracts.
Operating Income — Operating income of $49.6 million for the nine months ended January 1, 2010 increased $6.6 million, or 15.4%, as compared with the nine months ended January 2, 2009. Prior period results were negatively affected by large losses on our Afghanistan construction programs. Also contributing to the increase was an expansion in services on both our WPPS programs in Iraq and Pakistan and our MNSTC-I program, and non-recurring revenue of $5.8 million on our WPPS program. Partially offsetting this increase was lower profitability in our CivPol program as a result of the final close out of several firm fixed price task orders in the second quarter of fiscal year 2009.

Revenue — Revenue of $898.9 million for the nine months ended January 1, 2010 decreased $76.0 million, or 7.8%, as compared with the nine months ended January 2, 2009. The decrease primarily resulted from the following:
Aviation: Revenue of $789.5 million decreased $75.0 million, or 8.7%, for the nine months ended January 1, 2010, as compared to the nine months ended January 2, 2009. The decrease was primarily driven by declines in FSO programs of $75.5 million and the International Narcotics and Law Enforcement (“INL”) Air Wing program of $27.4 million. FSO revenue declined due to the completion of several CFT task orders, for which we did not win the re-competes due to additional competitors in this service space. While this is putting downward pressure on fiscal year 2010 revenue, we do not believe this will limit our long-term opportunities under the CFT program. The revenue decline in INL Air Wing revenue was driven by non-recurring equipment sales and construction work in both Camp Alvarado and Camp Valdes in Afghanistan performed in fiscal year 2009. These declines were partially offset by additional services including a new task order as a subcontractor to provide aircraft maintenance to support the Afghanistan air force through our CNTPO program. We also expect continued growth driven by a recent WPPS task order win to provide aircraft maintenance and air transportation services that is expected to ramp-up by the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2010.
Land Systems: Revenue of $109.4 million decreased $1.0 million, or 0.9%, for the nine months ended January 1, 2010, as compared to the nine months ended January 2, 2009, primarily due to scope decreases on our GMC program, the wind-down of the APS-3 program, and non-recurring threat systems management work. Partially offsetting this was increased services associated with the MRAP contract, which generated $76.1 million of revenue for the nine months ended January 1, 2010 as compared to $58.6 for the nine months ended January 2, 2009.
Operating Income — Operating income of $69.8 million for the nine months ended January 1, 2010 increased $3.2 million, or 4.8%, as compared with the nine months ended January 2, 2009. The increase was primarily driven by better cost management in several key aviation programs including our Life Cycle Contractor Support & INL Air Wing programs as well as increased services under our MRAP program. This was partially offset due to lower gross profit on our FSO programs due to the loss of several CFT task orders and lower margins on some existing CFT task orders, which was a result of additional competitors in this service space. Also negatively impacting operating income was adjustments to the estimated contract value on the GMC program. Although we expect our MRAP program to continue to be profitable in fiscal year 2011, we expect lower gross profit on our MRAP program starting in fiscal year 2011, reflecting an adjusted rate structure on the next option period.
Global Linguist Solutions
Revenue of $574.2 million increased $55.5 million, or 10.7%, for the nine months ended January 1, 2010, as compared to the nine months ended January 2, 2009. GLS revenue benefited from higher award fees as a result of improved performance, a higher number of linguists as compared to the first nine months of fiscal year 2009 and a full nine months of performance during the nine months of fiscal year 2010 as compared to fiscal year 2009 in which GLS was transitioning the contract from the prior provider.
Operating income of $35.0 million increased $6.4 million, or 22.5% for the nine months ended January 1, 2010, as compared to the nine months ended January 2, 2009. This increase was primarily due to a full nine months of performance during the first nine months of fiscal year 2010 as compared to fiscal year 2009 in which GLS was transitioning the contract from the prior provider. The increase was also supported by higher award fees earned during the period, partially offset by the impact of the modification on the INSCOM contract. Operating income earned by GLS benefits net income attributable to DynCorp International Inc. by our 51% ownership of the joint venture.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Cash generated by operations and borrowings available under our credit facility are our primary sources of short-term liquidity. Based on our current level of operations, we believe our cash flow from operations and our available borrowings under our credit facility will be adequate to meet our liquidity needs for the foreseeable future. However, we cannot be assured that our business will generate sufficient cash flow from operations, or that future borrowings will be available to us under our credit facility in an amount sufficient to enable us to repay our indebtedness, including the senior subordinated notes, or to fund our other liquidity needs.
In the first nine months of fiscal year 2010, we purchased approximately $43.1 million in helicopter assets of which $2.8 million have been sold or impaired and $3.5 million were classified as available for sale and included in inventory. The remainder were classified as fixed assets and included in Property and equipment, net. These helicopter assets were originally purchased in support of a new program in our GPSS operating segment. Given availability of customer assets to support this program, we mutually agreed to a task order modification under which the customer will now supply its own helicopters. As a result, we plan to utilize the purchased helicopter assets on another program.

Table of Contents

We expect the following three areas of our business to require significant cash outlays during the remainder of fiscal year 2010: (i) the expansion of the LOGCAP IV contract; (ii) the potential for one or more acquisitions and (iii) noncontrolling interest payments to our joint venture partners. Our win of the LOGCAP IV task order in southern Afghanistan and the potential to win additional sizeable task orders later this fiscal year will produce demands for liquidity to fund growth on this program. We expect cash contributions from our LOGCAP IV collaborative partner and timely cash collections on the project to support the liquidity needed on this program. In December 2009, we removed one of our collaborative partners reducing the potential contributions to fund the program but increasing our share of profits and retention of cash generated on the program.
During the third quarter of fiscal year 2010, we paid approximately $47.1 million from cash on hand to acquire Phoenix and fund related compensation arrangements. Aside from the maximum of $5 million of contingent consideration and compensation which may be payable in fiscal year 2011, we do not foresee the need to make significant capital investments into Phoenix and expect Phoenix to generate positive operating cash flows.
After the close of our fiscal third quarter, we paid approximately $5.9 million on January 22, 2010 from cash on hand to acquire Casals. Through a post-closing net working capital adjustment, we will either pay or receive proceeds based on the final determination of net working capital at closing to the extent that the amount thereof is greater or less than estimated net working capital at closing. We do not expect such adjustment to have a significant impact on our liquidity.
As we continue our acquisition strategy, we may need to borrow to fund larger acquisitions or multiple acquisitions.
Cash Flow Analysis
                 
    Nine months Ended  
(Dollars in thousands)   January 1, 2010     January 2, 2009  
Net Cash provided by operating activities
  $ 15,579     $ 70,195  
Net Cash used in investing activities
    (77,290 )     (22,070 )
Net Cash (used in) provided by financing activities
    (71,429 )     17,076  
Cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended January 1, 2010 was $15.6 million, as compared to $70.2 million for the nine months ended January 2, 2009. Cash generated from operations in the nine months ended January 1, 2010 benefited from the combination of our continued profitable revenue growth but declined from the nine months ended January 2, 2009 due to changes in net working capital. The change in net working capital was primarily due to increases in accounts receivable and restricted cash. The increase in accounts receivable was due to an increase in revenue and an increase in Days Sales Outstanding (“DSO”), a key metric utilized by management to monitor collection efforts on accounts receivable, which was 76 days at the end of the third quarter of fiscal year 2010, compared to 69 days at the end of the third quarter of fiscal year 2009, above our expectation of high 60s to low 70s on an ongoing basis. This increase in DSO is from longer review cycles for our DoS invoices as well as a contractual payment term change on the CFT contract. This increase is expected to be temporary and not affect our ability to collect receivables.
Cash used in investing activities was $77.3 million for the nine months ended January 1, 2010 as compared to $22.1 million for the nine months ended January 2, 2009. The cash used by investing activities during the nine months ended January 1, 2010 was primarily due to the acquisition of Phoenix, and purchase of helicopter assets.
Cash used in financing activities was $71.4 million for the nine months ended January 1, 2010, as compared to cash provided of $17.1 million for the nine months ended January 2, 2009. The cash used by financing activities during the nine months ended January 1, 2010 was primarily due to the excess cash flow principal repayment on our senior secured credit facility, the repurchases of a portion of our senior subordinated notes and payments of noncontrolling interest dividends.
Financing
As of January 1, 2010, no outstanding balance existed on the revolver facility, and $176.6 million was outstanding under the term loan facility. Our available borrowing capacity under the revolving facility totaled $170.6 million at January 1, 2010, which gives effect to $29.4 million of outstanding letters of credit. Borrowings under the revolver facility totaled $51.5 million, during the nine months ended January 1, 2010, as part of our cash management strategy. The weighted-average interest rate for the nine months ended January 1, 2010 for our borrowings under the credit facility was 3.2% excluding the impact of our interest rate swaps.

During April 2007 we entered into interest rate swap agreements to hedge our exposure to interest rate increases related to our credit facility. These agreements are more fully described in Note 7 to our consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report.
We are required, under certain circumstances as defined in our credit agreement, to use a percentage of excess cash generated from operations to reduce the outstanding principal of the term loans in the following year. Such payments are due near the end of the first quarter of the following fiscal year. We paid $23.4 million in June 2009 to satisfy our fiscal year 2009 requirement. The excess cash flow measurement is an annual requirement of the credit agreement.
In the nine months ended January 1, 2010, we repurchased $24.3 million of our senior subordinated notes. As of January 1, 2010, $375.4 million of principal was outstanding under our senior subordinated notes. Our senior subordinated notes mature February 2013. Interest accrues on our senior subordinated notes and is payable semi-annually.
Debt Covenants and Other Matters
Our credit facility and senior subordinated notes contain various financial covenants, including minimum levels of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”), minimum interest and fixed charge coverage ratios, and maximum capital expenditures and total leverage ratio. Non-financial covenants restrict our ability to dispose of assets; incur additional indebtedness; prepay other indebtedness or amend certain debt instruments; pay dividends; create liens on assets; enter into sale and leaseback transactions; make investments, loans or advances; issue certain equity instruments; make acquisitions; engage in mergers or consolidations or engage in certain transactions with affiliates; and otherwise restrict certain corporate activities. We were in compliance with the various financial and non-financial covenants set forth in our debt instruments at January 1, 2010.
Our credit facility and senior subordinated notes contain specific covenant requirements which may limit our ability to make acquisitions or require us to obtain debt holder approval to do so. We may also be limited by our debt agreements as to the cumulative size of our acquisitions, the type of businesses we may purchase and the forecasted effects on our overall financial statements.
OFF BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
As of January 1, 2010, we did not have any off balance sheet arrangements as defined under SEC rules. We recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities at fair value in our consolidated balance sheets. Refer to Note 7 of our consolidated financial statements for additional disclosure on derivatives and Note 11 for additional disclosure on variable interest entities.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations are based on our consolidated financial statements and related footnotes contained within this Quarterly Report. Our more critical accounting policies used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements were discussed in our 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 3, 2009, filed with the SEC on June 11, 2009. There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates from the information provided in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 3, 2009.
The process of preparing financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the use of estimates and assumptions to determine certain of the assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses. These estimates and assumptions are based upon what we believe is the best information available at the time of the estimates or assumptions. The estimates and assumptions could change materially as conditions within and beyond our control change. Accordingly, actual results could differ materially from those estimates.
Based on an assessment of our accounting policies and the underlying judgments and uncertainties affecting the application of those policies, we believe that our consolidated financial statements provide a meaningful and fair perspective of our consolidated financial condition and results of operations.

Interim Goodwill Assessment
We evaluate goodwill for impairment annually and when an event occurs or circumstances change to suggest that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Our annual testing date is at the fiscal end of February of each fiscal year. We test goodwill for impairment by first comparing the book value of net assets to the fair value of the reporting units. If the fair value is less than the book value, we record impairment, if any, to the extent that the estimated fair value of goodwill is less than the carrying value.
We estimate a portion of the fair value of our reporting units under the income approach by utilizing a discounted cash flow model based on several factors including balance sheet carrying values, historical results, our most recent forecasts, and other relevant quantitative and qualitative information. We discount the related cash flow forecasts using the weighted-average cost of capital method at the date of evaluation. We also use the market approach to estimate the remaining portion of our reporting unit valuation. This technique utilizes comparative market multiples in the valuation estimate. We have historically applied a 50%/50% weighting to each approach. While the income approach has the advantage of utilizing more company specific information, the market approach has the advantage of capturing market based transaction pricing. Significant changes in these forecasts, the discount rate selected, or the weighting of the income and market approach could affect the estimated fair value of one or more of our reporting units and could result in a goodwill impairment charge in a future period.
The combined estimated fair value of all of our reporting units from the weighted total of the market approach and income approach often results in a premium over our market capitalization, commonly referred to as a control premium. The calculated control premium percentage is evaluated and compared to an estimated acceptable midpoint percentage. In the event that the calculated control premium is above this maximum, a portion of the excess control premium is allocated to reduce the fair value of each reporting unit in order to further access whether any reporting units have incurred goodwill impairment. Assessing the acceptable control premium percentage requires judgment and is impacted by external factors such as observed control premiums from comparable transactions derived from the prices paid on recent publically disclosed acquisitions in our industry.
In determining whether an interim triggering event has occurred, management monitors (i) the actual performance of the business relative to the fair value assumptions used during our annual goodwill impairment test, (ii) significant changes to future expectations (iii) and our market capitalization, which is based on our average stock price and average common shares over a recent timeframe. During the nine months ended January 1, 2010, we did not identify any triggering events which would require an update to our annual impairment test.    
ACCOUNTING DEVELOPMENTS
We have presented the information about accounting pronouncements not yet implemented in Note 1 to our consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
There have been no material changes in market risk from the information provided in Part II, Item 7A, “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 3, 2009, filed with the SEC on June 11, 2009.
ITEM 4.  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms. In addition, the disclosure controls and procedures ensure that information required to be disclosed is accumulated and communicated to management, including the chief executive officer (“CEO”) and chief financial officer (“CFO”), allowing timely decisions regarding required disclosure. As of the last fiscal quarter covered by this report, based on an evaluation carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the CEO and CFO, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15(d)-15(e) under the Exchange Act of 1934), the CEO and CFO have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that have occurred during the three months ended January 1, 2010 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
PART II — OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL MATTERS
Information related to various commitments and contingencies is described in Note 8 to the consolidated financial statements.
As previously disclosed, we identified certain payments made on our behalf by two subcontractors to expedite the issuance of a limited number of visas and licenses from a foreign government’s agencies that may raise compliance issues under the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. We retained outside counsel to investigate these payments.  In November 2009, we voluntarily brought these matters to the attention of the U.S. Department of Justice and the SEC. We are cooperating with the government’s review of these matters. We are also continuing our evaluation of our internal policies and procedures. We cannot predict the ultimate consequences of these matters at this time, nor can we reasonably estimate the potential liability, if any, related to these matters. However, based on the facts currently known, we do not believe that these matters will have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flow. We have not recorded any reserves with respect to these matters.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
There have been no material changes in risk factors, except as noted below, from those described in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 3, 2009, filed with the SEC on June 11, 2009.
If we fail to integrate the businesses we acquire or successfully manage the acquisition process, our business operations may be disrupted, stockholder value may be diluted, management attention may be diverted and our results of operations may be harmed.
We have recently acquired two complementary businesses. Additonally, our business strategy contemplates pursuing additional strategic acquisitions of complementary businesses and service lines. Acquistion transactions require substantial management resources and may disrupt our business and divert our management from other responsibilities. Acquisitions are accompanied by other risks, including:
   
the difficulty of integrating the operations and personnel of the acquired companies;
   
the inability of our management to maximize our financial and strategic position by the successful incorporation of acquired personnel into our service offerings;
   
we may not realize anticipated synergies or financial growth;
   
we may assume material liabilities that were not identified during due diligence, including potential regulatory penalties resulting from the acquisition target’s previous activities;
   
difficulty maintaining uniform standards, controls, procedures and policies, with respect to accounting matters and otherwise;
   
the potential loss of key employees of acquired companies;
   
the impairment of relationships with employees and customers as a result of changes in management and operational structure; and
   
acquisitions may require us to invest significant amounts of cash resulting in dilution of stockholder value.
Any inability to successfully integrate the operations and personnel associated with an acquired business and/or service line may harm our business and results of operation.
