PART I
ITEM 1.   BUSINESS
Overview
Founded in 1983, GTSI Corp. is a Delaware corporation with nearly three decades of experience in selling information technology (“IT”) products and solutions to U.S. Federal, state and local governments and to prime contractors that are working directly on government contracts. We use the terms “GTSI,” “Company,” “we,” “our,” and “us” to refer to GTSI Corp. and its subsidiaries. During this period, our customers have come to rely on GTSI to translate business challenges into practical technology solutions for today’s governments. “GTSI” is a registered service mark of GTSI Corp. All other trademarks and service marks are proprietary to their respective owners.
We offer a competitive mix of logistical and procurement support to the U.S. Federal Government, state and local governments, and prime contractors. Our total sales were $667 million, $762 million and $821 million for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The approximate percentage of our sales by customer type for the years ended December 31 was:
                         
    2010     2009     2008  
Federal Government
    67 %     72 %     70 %
Prime Contractors
    29 %     23 %     23 %
State and Local Governments
    4 %     5 %     7 %
 
                 
Total
    100 %     100 %     100 %
Additional information related to net income, total assets, significant customers and long-lived assets is provided in the consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes to the consolidated financial statements appearing in Part II, Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K (this “Form 10-K”).
The IT solutions we offer to our customers are enterprise product-based, with many including a service component. Enterprise product-based components are identified and purchased by government procurement officers under standard government contracts, ranging from single agency contracts to those that are available to the entire U.S. Federal Government or state government contracts such as U.S. Communities. We are well positioned to fulfill the requirement of having an appropriate contract vehicle as we hold a contract portfolio that includes nearly four dozen such contracts, including many major Federal agency-specific contracts.
To fulfill product demand, we maintain an ISO 9001:2008-registered Integration and Distribution Center containing approximately 142,000 square-feet in Northern Virginia, adjacent to Washington Dulles International Airport. We leverage our Integration and Distribution Center and logistics expertise to offer a wide variety of managed fulfillment and value added services such as:
    Hardware integration
    Customer image propagation
    Automated system diagnostics and data capture

    Complex configurations, burn in, and testing of a variety of IT solutions
    Inventory management and delivery services to support customer project schedules
To help our customers acquire, manage and refresh their technology in a strategic and application-appropriate manner, GTSI has created a financial services capability to manage the entire technology lifecycle. GTSI offers lease arrangements to allow government agencies to acquire technology on an evenly distributed operating expense basis, rather than on the much more budget-sensitive and discontinuous capital expense basis. This is especially important to agencies with budget planning requirements that cover several future years and technology needs that cannot be accurately planned on the same timeline. It also helps agencies keep their information management resources focused on the flow and security of agency information, rather than ownership of the technology itself.
Administrative Agreement with the U.S. Small Business Administration
On October 1, 2010, GTSI received notice from the Small Business Administration (“SBA”) that GTSI had been temporarily suspended from any future Federal Government contracting. On October 19, 2010, GTSI entered into an administrative agreement with the SBA (the “SBA Agreement”) pursuant to which the SBA lifted the suspension it had imposed on GTSI. Pursuant to the SBA Agreement, GTSI agreed that it will not obtain or attempt to obtain any new Federal Government contracts, subcontracts or any business, which in any capacity, whether directly or indirectly is intended to benefit small businesses, including task orders and options on existing contracts. For a further discussion regarding the SBA Agreement see Item 3 “Legal Proceedings.”
Business Strategy
GTSI is committed to providing information technology solutions and services to government customers. We believe there are opportunities to increase profitability of our existing business by growing our financial and professional services revenue, and by expanding our relatively low market share within the growing government IT market.
GTSI continues to evolve as a provider of value-added enterprise information technology solutions that include both professional services and products to government and prime contractor customers. We have successfully provided consulting and technical assistance in support of complex and multi-vendor solutions as a prime contractor as well as a subcontractor. While larger sales transactions represent a small percentage of our total transactions, they represent the majority of our margin and profits. We are continuing our strategy of increasing the focus on larger, more profitable transactions, while improving processes to make the delivery of the smaller transactions more profitable. Specifically, we plan to:
Continue Focusing on the Government IT Market
Because of our exclusive focus on government, GTSI has developed the expertise and established the partner and customer relationships necessary to be a leader in this market. As a result, our marketing activities combined with sales activity have been effective at reaching and servicing our government customers at all levels to include chief information officers, procurement and contracting officers, information resource managers, as well as systems integrators, value-added resellers and prime contractors.
Leverage Technology Lifecycle Management (“TLM”)
GTSI provides TLM services for our government customers. TLM involves most aspects of the technology management process, including assessing and identifying technology needs, acquisition of those technologies, integration and implementation, ongoing services, asset disposal and financial services. We believe this model represents a distinctive advantage to our customers. Coupled with support services, technology refresh, and asset disposal, we offer our customers cost effective methods to manage technology infrastructure.

Retain and Obtain Government Contracts and Utilize Flexible Contract Vehicles
GTSI holds a wide range of government contracts, including multi-million dollar, multiyear contract vehicles with the U.S. Department of Defense (“DoD”) and several Federal Civilian agencies, as well as multiple award schedules and blanket purchasing agreements with DoD, Federal Civilian agencies, state and local agencies. In addition, we also serve as a subcontractor, providing products and services to other companies holding government contracts. GTSI intends to continue identifying and pursuing contract vehicles that best leverage our broad selection of solutions, services, integration and distribution capabilities and partner relationships.
Continue to expand our Solution and Services
GTSI continues to develop and deliver information technology solutions that include products from OEM partners in the areas of Client End-Points, Networking, Data Center and Security. GTSI will continue to enable said solutions through consulting, integration, delivery and support services.
Provide a High-Quality Centralized Source for Procuring IT Products and Services
In addition to offering a comprehensive line of computer hardware, software and peripheral products, GTSI offers pre- and post-sales technical support and assistance in the selection, configuration, installation and maintenance of the products and systems that we sell. We offer a wide range of IT solutions and products plus the convenience, flexibility and cost savings of obtaining infrastructure technology solutions from a centralized source. As we interact with our customers, we focus on providing high quality customer services associated with the order, delivery, installation and repair of the products we sell. In addition to our heritage product offerings, we also have capabilities to meet our customer’s needs with regard to data centers, networks, client devices and physical security.
Customers
Federal Government & Prime Contractors
GTSI has been dedicated to the Federal, state and local government marketplaces since our inception in 1983. Historically, more than 20% of our revenue comes from prime contractors. Our most significant subcontracts are with companies such as Raytheon Company, General Dynamics, SAIC, Northrop Grumman and Lockheed Martin. Our top customer relationships include the U.S. Department of Army, U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, Department of Homeland Security, Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation. While GTSI derives the majority of its sales from DOD and Federal Civilian sectors; we are also focused on continuing to grow our positions in the state and local and U.S. Intelligence marketplaces. The breakout of our U.S. Federal Government sales is approximated below:
                         
    2010     2009     2008  
Department of Defense
    30 %     38 %     43 %
Civilian Agencies and Departments
    40 %     37 %     32 %
Prime Contractors
    30 %     25 %     25 %
 
                 
Total
    100 %     100 %     100 %
State and Local
GTSI’s sales in the state and local government market are generated mostly from county and city agencies. Cities and counties are faced with maintaining government services, including urban security and safety, that improve the quality of life for constituents. With reduced budgets and workforce, agencies are forced to re-examine core competencies and outsource labor to maximize the efficiencies provided by advancing technology. Automating processes and achieving operational efficiency are essential to cutting costs and addressing budget constraints. The U.S. Communities Program provides a contract vehicle that enables GTSI to address customer requirements, offer a needs assessment, procure best-of-breed technologies and be responsible for the delivery.

Because Federal funds are available to state and local governments for protection against terrorist and criminal threats, we plan to grow our state and local business by focusing our Physical Security practice on education, city infrastructure, maritime ports and airports. In addition, our Mobile Evidence Capture (“MEC”) practice focuses on law enforcement and public safety. MEC enables digital in-car video evidence to be captured, transmitted, stored and retrieved without human manipulation to quickly and effectively comply with prosecution processes. Much like Physical Security solutions, MEC is moving from analog to digital, leveraging GTSI technical resources, competencies in security, wireless, networking and storage while using existing processes for project management and services implementation.
Contracts
GTSI achieves its sales through Federal, state and local government contracts and open market procurements. Our contracts with the U.S. Federal Government include a General Services Administration (“GSA”) Schedule contract, indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity (“IDIQ”) contracts, blanket purchase agreements (“BPAs”), task order contracts and multi-agency contracts (“MACs”).
We typically pursue formal government bids for IDIQ contracts and BPAs. Many of these bids are awarded on the basis of “best value” to the government which, depending on the bid, can be a combination of price, management and technical expertise, past performance on other government contracts and other factors. We seek to use our professional services and other delivery capabilities, vendor relationships, purchasing power, supply chain management and procurement expertise to compete successfully on Federal government bid opportunities. These procurements may involve millions of dollars in total sales, span multiple years and provide a purchasing vehicle for many government agencies. Items offered under our contracts include IT hardware and software as well as program/project management services, technical/engineering services, life-cycle maintenance, training and other IT services.
The majority of our contracts allow GTSI to deliver comprehensive, enterprise-wide solutions that include both products and professional services. GTSI has established a team of experienced program managers to increase the size and scope of our program/project portfolio and manage programs of increasing complexity.
General Services Administration
GTSI holds a GSA designated Schedule 70 contract for the sale of IT products and services. Schedule 70 contracts are multi-award schedule contracts managed by the GSA Center for IT Schedule Programs. In 2002, the U.S. Federal Government exercised the first of three five-year options to extend the GTSI contract through March 31, 2007. This schedule has since been extended eight times through March 31, 2011 while GTSI is negotiating with the government for the acceptance of our proposal for a new award. As a result of GTSI’s past performance in our Services sector, we received an award with increased labor rates on the existing Schedule 70 contract, as well as expansion of new labor categories that appropriately define our business.
GSA contracts provide government agencies, prime contractors, and state and local governments with an efficient and cost-effective means for buying commercial IT products and services. GSA purchasers may place unlimited orders for products under GSA contracts.
Our GSA contract contains price reduction clauses requiring that we pass on to government customers certain reduced prices we may receive from our vendors, but prohibits us from passing on price increases that exceed 10% for a period of one year. To mitigate the potentially adverse impact of any such price increase, we work with most of our GSA contract vendors to provide us with supply and price protection.
Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity(“IDIQ”)
GTSI holds a number of IDIQ contracts, through which the government establishes a purchasing vehicle and/or allocates funds for future purchases, without specifying purchase dates or quantity. IDIQ contracts offer greater flexibility than GSA contracts because they typically permit products and services to be added quickly. There are three types of IDIQ contracts: government-wide acquisition contracts (“GWAC”), multi-agency contracts and single agency contracts. A GWAC is a task-order or delivery-order contract for information technology established by a single Federal agency for government-wide use upon approval by the Office of Management and Budget, while MACs accept orders from the same agency, and from other agencies under the authority of the Economy Act.

Blanket Purchase Agreements
Individual GSA ordering agencies may enter into GSA-authorized BPAs with GSA contract holders. BPAs are similar to second-tier contracts under a contractor’s GSA contract. BPAs enable agencies to obtain better pricing based on volume ordering, and specialized services to address specific agency needs or preferences. BPAs also serve to decrease an agency’s acquisition costs by streamlining the ordering process.
GTSI maintains several Federal Supply Schedule BPAs that are authorized under our GSA Schedule 70 contract. GSA authorized BPAs incorporate many terms, conditions and products offered on GSA Schedule contracts, often at prices lower than those available on the GSA Schedules. We normally enter into separate agreements with vendors to offer reduced BPA prices to the government. Our BPAs are agency specific and allow us to increase our focus on specific products and services that are designed to satisfy the requirements of individual customers.
Task Order Contracts
GTSI has also entered into a number of task order contracts with Federal Government agencies. Task order contracts specify the period of performance, including the number of option periods, and specify the quantity and scope of products and services the Federal agency will acquire under the contract. After award of the master contract, the Federal agency will issue individual task orders, as needed, to address specific defined requirements. Task orders typically include a statement of work (“SOW”) and/or a bill of materials (“BOM”) that define the services or products the contractor will be obligated to deliver.
State and Local
State and local contracting vehicles generally fall into two categories: individual competitive procurements for specific IT solutions or state and locally based IDIQ contracts. State and local procurements typically require formal responses from a prospective bidder. Compliance is required with each state’s code of procurement regulations to successfully market and sell to the state. GTSI currently maintains several state and local IT contracts, regularly submits written bids to state and local governments and is on a number of state and local government bid lists.
In 2009, GTSI was re-awarded the U.S. Communities (“USC”) contract for a four-year term with a two to three-year extension option. U.S. Communities is a pre-competed National cooperative purchasing agreement available to cities, counties, special districts (airport, water, etc.), state agencies, K-12 schools, higher education, and large non-profits such as hospitals and clinics in all 50 U.S. states. Our USC contract is our primary vehicle for the state and local sales organization. Entering our eighth year with the U.S. Communities Contract, we have established programmatic relationships with customers to offer the operational efficiencies that the U.S. Communities contract can allow, with GTSI providing professional services to ensure project delivery, enabling our customer to focus on their constituent business objectives.
In addition, GSA provides access to state and local government agencies to utilize GSA Schedules. Multi-state contracts enable individual states to utilize the buying power of multiple states to reduce costs based on volume purchasing.
The solutions sold under the USC contract utilize competitive labor rates for professional services on a firm-fixed- price or time-and-material basis. Volume discounts are available to public agencies and are offered on a case-by-case basis depending on agency commitment and buying power. With solutions such as Physical Security, Data Center Virtualization and Modernization, and MEC as a focus, USC allows us to maintain compliance with funding milestones, act as the project manager, and provide the delivery engineering and project management services to achieve customer acceptance and mission compliance.

Open Market
While open market is not a contract vehicle, GTSI has processes and procedures to utilize open-market pricing, separate and apart from GSA Schedules, IDIQs and BPAs. We also sell enterprise products and services to government-serving prime contractors, including systems integrators through open market procurements. Certain contract vehicles allow a small percentage of open market pricing to be included to supplement those products and services that are under contract.
Solutions, Services and Products
GTSI monitors and evaluates existing and emerging technologies and trends to help ensure that we offer our customers the most appropriate technology for their applications. GTSI provides its customers IT infrastructure solutions and services customized to their specific needs.
Technology Lifecycle Management (“TLM”)
GTSI’s TLM methodology combines professional and financial services with strong industry partnerships into a comprehensive framework for managing each phase of IT infrastructure lifecycle. TLM has three core elements: planning of the entire process of IT Infrastructure Optimization, in which we identify and assess, acquire, implement and integrate, support, refresh and disposal before acquisition; ongoing Program Management of the infrastructure lifecycle elements; and separating the acquisition necessities of IT Infrastructure Optimization from realities of three-year budget cycles and narrowly defined budget line items. By planning for each phase with a long term approach, funding and management of IT programs can be more effectively aligned with mission goals and realization of benefits. GTSI TLM helps customers reduce total cost of ownership and risk, while increasing flexibility and efficiencies.
Solutions
In 2010, we continued to align our solutions with the IT infrastructure needs and requirements of our customers in the areas of Client End-Points, Networking, Data Center and Security. GTSI embraced the evolving government requirements in IT Infrastructure such as collaboration, virtualization and security and developed innovative approaches to Desktop & Server Virtualization, Unified Communications and Physical Security. GTSI enables solutions through combining products from our OEM partners with the financial, consulting, integration, delivery and support services to include:
    Client, including Desktop Virtualization and Thin Client
    Networking, including Unified Communications and Visual Information Systems
    Data Center, including Server Virtualization, Power & Cooling, and Disaster Recovery
    Security — Cyber and Physical
Services
GTSI Services provide our government customers with the resources to design, configure, implement and support state-of-the art IT products and solutions; and facilitates the Technology Lifecycle Management method of managing scalable, IT infrastructure as a service. Our services ensure that the products we deliver are interoperable, efficient, support the customer environment, and protect customers’ investments. The Services strategy supports our government contracts, company sales and partner efforts for growth in the market. We believe that providing these services along with industry-leading manufacturer products helps differentiate GTSI from its competitors.
GTSI Services is comprised of four main areas — Professional Services, Integration Services, Support Services and Financial Services.

Table of Contents

Professional Services
The Professional Services team includes solutions architects, technical engineers, security consultants and project managers. Skilled engineers possess the technical certifications that align with GTSI’s manufacturing partners that allow us to implement customer solutions. This team also maintains pertinent professional certifications, such as Information Technology Infrastructure Library and Certified Information Systems Security Professional and security cleared resources to ensure that GTSI is able to provide services across all government agencies. Project Managers lead engagements using Project Management Body of Knowledge best practices. They hold Project Management Institute professional certifications and are skilled in managing projects using Earned Value Management standards.
GTSI’s Professional Services start with site surveys and assessments, through to infrastructure design, implementation, and ongoing support. Expertise areas include network infrastructure, data management, enterprise computing, cyber security, physical security, and enterprise software. We use industry best practices to create standard tools and procedures to deliver successful engagements to optimize performance. GTSI leverages resource experience, knowledge and past performance, with the use of the Plan, Design, Implement, Operate (“PDIO”) methodology for repeatable, predictable, and efficient delivery and execution.
Integration Services
Integration Services provides engineering, integration, asset management, and logistical support for complex assembly of hardware and software. Industry and professionally certified experts operate in our own ISO 9001:2008 Integration and Distribution Center to upgrade, install, test and configure systems to agency standards. Each project is assigned a dedicated manager to oversee logistics support and fulfillment of services to streamline deployment, reduce downtime and manage costs. GTSI integration engineers and consultants have proven experience in leading integration platforms. Our knowledge of our government customers, coupled with strong industry and technology expertise, help mitigate the risks involved in integrating new IT technologies.
GTSI’s Asset Management technology provides comprehensive asset management systems that inventory, track and securely dispose of an organization’s assets. Our solution includes Radio Frequency Identification (“RFID”), Unique Identification (“UID”), and Real-Time Location System (“RTLS”) capabilities. GTSI has a scalable asset management solution to enable an agency to track inventory, monitor asset location, manage software libraries, schedule maintenance, track financial information, and be alerted to high priority events or changes. This solution helps agencies meet compliance and regulatory standards. Asset Disposal services provide agencies with a method to eliminate unnecessary equipment in a safe, cost effective manner that is in compliance with DOD standards, and includes certificates of destruction.
Support Services
GTSI’s proactive approach to the sustainability of the IT infrastructure is reinforced by its Support Services offerings to help customers increase productivity and extend the life of IT assets. GTSI Support Services help overcome day-to-day technology challenges and allow agencies to stay focused on key mission objectives. Our portfolio of renewable, post-implementation services ensures rapid problem resolution and a reduction in total cost of ownership through decreased downtime and proactive support. These capabilities include replacement of parts, multi-vendor first-call and onsite support, online monitoring of support status, and software updates.
We believe two additional significant capabilities provide a competitive differentiator and help customers maintain technology infrastructures: Support Service Center and SupportNet. Support Service Center offers dedicated representative, first call support for single or multi-vendor requirements 24 x 7 via phone or web portal, where customers may also track incident management reports. SupportNet provides customers a secure portal with warranty and maintenance data for multi-vendor inventories. It allows customers a comprehensive view to manage, aggregate and co-terminate support contracts.

Financial Services
GTSI Financial Services helps customers gain quicker access to the technology that meets their needs. GTSI Financial Services provides flexible financing options for the entire technology lifecycle and such options may be a better fit for an agency’s operating and maintenance budget than a capital expenditure.
Products
GTSI has strategic relationships with hardware and software industry-leading OEMs. GTSI includes their products in the solutions provided to our customers. For example, GTSI includes leading hardware servers and virtualization software in virtualization solutions, security, routers and switches for voice and data network modernization, and rugged digital cameras and sensors for physical security solutions.

Strategic Partner Relationships
GTSI maintains strong relationships with a core set of strategic partners. These partners are industry leaders and are established in the government market. Our strategic partners include: Cisco, Microsoft, Oracle, Hewlett Packard, Panasonic, Net App, Dell, Citrix and Hitachi.
Additionally, we establish and grow alliances with specialized technology companies that complement our core partners which then address our customer needs for their solutions environment.
GTSI offers our partners several advantages in the government market by providing:
    A superior ability to design, procure, install, operate, and refresh solutions through our infrastructure as a service business model
    A gateway to the complex government market through a significant number of diverse contract vehicles
    Access to government customers through GTSI’s proactive sales force providing solutions, services and products
    Lower cost overhead associated with government contractor compliance and procurement regulations
Our vendor agreements vary, but typically they permit us to purchase products for combining with integration and professional services for transactions with government customers. Very few of our agreements require us to purchase any specified quantity of product. GTSI usually requires our partners to provide us with supply and price protection for the duration of specifically signed government contracts. Other than supply agreements under certain government contracts, our vendor agreements are typically terminable by GTSI or the vendor on short notice, at will or immediately upon default by either party, and may contain limitations on vendor liability. These vendor agreements also generally permit GTSI to return previous product purchases at no charge within certain time limits for a restocking fee or in exchange for the vendor’s other products.

Our strategic partners may provide us with various forms of marketing and sales financial assistance, including sales incentives, market development funds, cooperative advertising and sales events. Partners may also provide sell-through and other sales incentives in connection with certain product promotions.
Inventory Management
We purchase products for resale both directly from manufacturers and indirectly through distributors and resellers. During 2010, we purchased approximately 65% of the products we sold directly from manufacturers and the remaining amount from distributors and resellers. Products are shipped to our customers both from our ISO 9001:2008 Integration and Distribution Center and directly by our suppliers. The receiving, inventory and shipping processes in our Integration and Distribution Center are highly automated. Products are systemically tracked while in the facility through the use of handheld scanners that are used to capture product information and status triggered by receipt, transfer and shipment. Our shipping process captures product model numbers and serial numbers via bar code scan and ties them directly to order and carrier information. We ship products with a wide variety of carriers, using automation that selects the best carrier based on customer location, size of shipment, and desired service levels. We are able to negotiate favorable rates with many carriers, including FedEx and UPS.
We perform a comprehensive physical inventory each January and supplement that with regularly scheduled, system-controlled cycle counts throughout the year. Our cycle count schedule is constructed to result in complete inventory coverage approximately every two months.
We have a RFID tagging solution that enables us to apply RFID labels to case and pallet-load shipments that satisfy DoD Gen-2 requirements.
Marketing and Sales
GTSI’s strategic marketing initiatives continue to focus on positioning the Company’s value as a systems integrator, with substantial solutions and services capabilities. In 2010, GTSI used tradeshows, advertising, seminars and webinars as primary marketing tools to reach key audiences. In early 2010, GTSI launched a redesigned corporate website (www.gtsi.com), as a key positioning tool and a vehicle for educating government executives on the latest trends in IT. The website in particular focuses on the IT technology areas of Virtualization, Cloud Computing and Physical Security, where GTSI has deep expertise and capability.
GTSI continues to utilize its technology-centric Customer Briefing Center and Solutions Lab to demonstrate the Company’s growing capabilities and best practices for addressing the key challenges faced by government IT decision makers. The marketing and branding efforts reaffirm the Company’s belief that it has the resources and expertise to deliver best business practices, engineering skills and financial options that combine myriad benefits into a single delivery source of leading-edge information technology to governments.
Our sales organization is focused on understanding the current and emerging requirements of our customers, and demonstrating how the Company delivers comprehensive solutions that encompass the products and services that meet those needs. The efforts continue to provide coverage that supports existing customers, while at the same time advancing initiatives that focus on new accounts and new solution offerings to potential customers.
Competition
The government IT market is highly competitive with a wide variety of technology and service players. As the Federal, state and local governments continue to face budget shortfalls, competition will be more intense. GTSI’s competitors include traditional hardware and software manufacturers and resellers, mid-tier systems integrators, and IT infrastructure solutions and service providers.

We believe that the principal competitive factors in the government IT market include:
    Past performance within the government market
    Expertise in government procurement processes where standardized contracts exist and where recommended changes will be implemented
    Existing customer and partner relationships for which there is traditionally a high barrier to entry
    Technical expertise
    Logistical capability
    Customer service and support
The growing trend in government to consolidate and reduce operational costs as well as the current economic environment, is likely to increase the needs of government agencies to extend the lifecycle of their existing legacy systems to deliver mission-critical services. Flexible styles of IT infrastructure service, such as infrastructure as a service (“IaaS”), software as a service (“SaaS”) and cloud computing will become more and more established. An emphasis on data center consolidation and use of “green” IT will contribute to the competitive nature of this market. Government agencies need guidance developing migration strategies and technology solution maps to extract more from their existing infrastructure while working toward managed services environments.
With our agility and deep IT infrastructure expertise, as well as our long-term customer relationships, we are well-positioned to help our customers migrate, implement and operate new infrastructure environments. To enhance our strategic position in the government infrastructure services market, we are investing in our services and solutions offerings as well as training and certification programs for our engineering and technical staff.
Backlog
We identify an order as backlog as soon as we receive and accept a written customer purchase order. Backlog fluctuates significantly from quarter to quarter because of the seasonality of the U.S. Federal Government ordering patterns and changes in inventory availability of various products. Our backlog includes hardware and software orders that have not shipped or delivered (“unshipped backlog”) as well as orders that have shipped or delivered but cannot be recognized as revenue at the end of the reporting period, since title passes normally to our customers when the orders reach the destination. Backlog also includes services that have not been performed. Total backlog, as of December 31, 2010, excluding leasing revenue, was $123.2 million compared to $144.9 million as of December 31, 2009. Unshipped backlog as of December 31, 2010 was approximately $104.3 million, compared to $127.8 million as of December 31, 2009.
Employees
At February 18, 2011 we had 433 employees, including 235 in sales, marketing and professional services; 65 in operations; and 133 in finance, IT, contracts and legal, and other support functions. None of our employees are represented by a labor union and we have not experienced any labor-related work stoppages.
Since the Company entered into the SBA Agreement on October 19, 2010 the number of Company employees has decreased from approximately 532 to 433 as of February 18, 2011.

ITEM 1A.   RISK FACTORS
There are many factors that affect our business and results of operations, some of which are beyond our control. The following is a description of some important factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from those in forward-looking statements and from historical trends.
Compliance with GTSI’s administrative agreement with the U.S. Small Business Administration (the “SBA Agreement”) and the outcome of the Federal Government investigations thereunder may have a material adverse effect on the Company.
The Company’s compliance with the SBA Agreement and the outcome of the continuing related Federal Government investigations of GTSI, which could result in administrative, civil and criminal penalties, may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and operating performance. For a further discussion regarding the SBA Agreement see Item 3 “Legal Proceedings.” Compliance with the SBA Agreement may result in the modification and termination of GTSI’s various small business contracts. As a result of the SBA Agreement, certain GTSI multiyear financing agreements were modified or terminated, which resulted in a $4.6 million write-off of net financing receivables. In addition, some other multiyear financing agreements were restructured to become due within the next 12 months, resulting in a $22.0 million decrease in accounts receivable and long-term receivables along with a corresponding $22.0 million decrease in accrued liabilities and other liabilities. The Company’s failure to generate additional sales or reduce operating costs to offset for lost sales due to the restrictions in the SBA Agreement and the costs of complying with the SBA Agreement may have a material adverse effect on our financial performance.
We may be adversely affected by increased governmental and regulatory scrutiny or negative publicity.
Governmental scrutiny from regulators and law enforcement agencies with respect to our business practices, our past actions and other matters has increased materially in the past year. The current political and public sentiment regarding our involvement with small businesses has resulted in a significant amount of adverse press coverage. Press coverage and other public statements that assert some form of wrongdoing, regardless of any factual basis may result in investigation by regulators, legislators and law enforcement officials or in lawsuits. Responding to these investigations and lawsuits, regardless of the ultimate outcome of the proceeding, is time consuming, expensive and may divert our senior management’s time and effort from our business. Adverse publicity, governmental scrutiny and legal and enforcement proceedings can also have a negative impact on our reputation and on the morale and performance of our Company.
GTSI’s continuing disputes with EyakTek and its other members may have a material adverse effect on our financial performance.
As discussed in Item 3 “Legal Proceedings,” EyakTek’s request for voluntary early graduation from the SBA’s Section 8 (a) BD Program was approved, effective May 10, 2010. EyakTek’s Operating Agreement provides that EyakTek shall dissolve and commence winding up and liquidating upon its graduation from the Section 8(a) BD Program, unless EyakTek’s members by an affirmative vote of at least 65% of the membership interests decide to continue EyakTek’s business operations. While GTSI has not voted its 37% EyakTek membership interests to continue EyakTek’s business operations, such operations have continued since EyakTek’s graduation from the Section 8(a) BD Program.
In September 2010, GTSI filed a complaint in the Chancery Court of Delaware against EyakTek, certain EyakTek directors and officers (“Individual Defendants”) and EyakTek’s other members (“Member Defendants”) alleging that the defendants had breached EyakTek’s Operating Agreement by taking certain actions without GTSI’s approval that is required under the Operating Agreement, including actions leading to the making of an unsolicited offer to acquire GTSI and the continuation of the business operations of EyakTek after its graduation from the SBA’s 8(a) BD Program.

Table of Contents

In September 2010, EyakTek and the other defendants filed an arbitration demand with the American Arbitration Association asserting that GTSI’s claims in the Delaware Chancery Court are subject to arbitration under EyekTek’s Operating Agreement. The arbitration demand also asserts that GTSI’s filing of the Delaware complaint violated EyakTek’s Operating Agreement and constituted a breach of fiduciary duty and the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing that GTSI allegedly owes to EyakTek as a member of EyakTek. The arbitration demand seeks declaratory relief, damages, and attorneys’ fees against GTSI.
GTSI filed a motion in the Chancery Court to dismiss or stay the above-referenced arbitration. EyakTek, the Member Defendants and Individual Defendants filed a motion to dismiss or stay GTSI’s lawsuit. The Delaware Chancery Court heard the motions in November 2010 and subsequently, based primarily on its interpretation of the arbitration provisions of EyakTek’s Operating Agreement, determined that the arbitrator and not the court must decide whether the matter is to proceed in court or in arbitration. Thus, the court granted the defendants’ request to stay GTSI’s lawsuit.
Thereafter, GTSI submitted to the above-referenced arbitrator claims against and request for relief from EyakTek, the Member Defendants and Individual Defendants similar to GTSI’s above-referenced claims and request for relief denied by the Delaware Chancery Court. In addition, GTSI requested the arbitrator to enforce the above-referenced provision of EyakTek’s Operating Agreement requiring the dissolution of EyakTek because of its graduation from Section 8(a) BD Program.
While the outcome of these continuing disputes with EyakTek, the Member Defendants and Individual Defendants is currently unknown, such outcome may include a buyout of GTSI’s ownership in EyakTek, the dissolution of EyakTek, the continuation of EyakTek under its current Operating Agreement or under a modified Operating Agreement or some other alternative agreed upon by the various parties involved or ruled by the arbitrator. GTSI’s sale of its EyakTek interest or EyakTek’s dissolution would result in GTSI having no future equity income from EyakTek as reported in GTSI’s Consolidated Statements of Operations. In the past, including for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, EyakTek’s equity income has had a material positive impact on GTSI’s financial performance. We believe that GTSI’s continuing disputes with EyakTek, the Member Defendants and Individual Defendants may have a material adverse affect on our financial performance.
We believe that EyakTek’s future financial performance may be adversely affected by recent developments including EyakTek’s graduation from the SBA’s Section 8(a) BD Program, the SBA suspension of EyakTek’s subsidiary EG Solutions, LLC from Federal Government contracting and possible increased Federal Government scrutiny regarding Alaska native corporations.
Effective May 2010, EyakTek’s request for voluntary early graduation from the SBA’s Section 8(a) BD Program was approved. On November 18, 2010, EyakTek’s wholly owned subsidiary EG Solutions, LLC, received notice from the SBA that EGS was suspended from receiving any future Federal Government contracting. Government scrutiny from regulators and law enforcement agencies, along with media attention, has increased within the past year regarding Alaska native corporations. The Eyak Corporation, an Alaska native corporation, owns 51% of EyakTek. We believe that these recent developments may have an adverse affect in the future on EyakTek’s financial performance.
We depend heavily on Federal Government contracts. A delay in the Federal budget process or a Federal Government shutdown may adversely affect our sales and gross margins, operating results and cash flows.
For the year ended December 31, 2010, we derived approximately 96% of our sales from the Federal Government or from prime contractors under Federal Government contracts. We expect to continue to derive most of our sales from work performed under Federal Government contracts. Those contracts are conditioned upon the continuing availability of Congressional appropriations. Congress usually appropriates funds on a fiscal year basis even though contract performance may extend over many years.
The programs in which we participate must compete with other Federal Government programs and policies for consideration during the budget and appropriation process. Concerns about increased deficit spending, along with continued economic challenges, continue to place pressure on Federal customer budgets. While we believe that our programs are well aligned with national defense and other priorities, shifts in domestic spending and tax policy, changes in security, defense, and intelligence priorities, the affordability of our products and services, general economic conditions and developments, and other factors may affect a decision to fund or the level of funding for existing or proposed programs.

Table of Contents

In years when the Federal Government does not complete its budget process before the end of its fiscal year (September 30), Federal Government operations typically are funded through a continuing resolution that authorizes agencies of the Federal Government to continue to operate, but does not authorize new spending initiatives. When the Federal Government operates under a continuing resolution, delays can occur in the procurement of products and services. The Federal Government is currently operating under a continuing resolution that is effective through March 18, 2011, and its budget for 2011 has not been finalized. While this historically has not had a material effect on our business, if the Federal budget process results in a Federal Government shutdown, the continuing resolution be prolonged further or extended through the entire government fiscal year, it may have a material adverse affect on our financial performance.
We rely on a small number of large transactions for significant portions of our sales and gross margins, and our operating results and cash flows may decline significantly if we fail to secure additional large transactions.
We rely on the Federal Government to provide a substantial portion of our sales either directly or through prime contractors with which we work. We have derived, and believe that we will continue to derive, a significant portion of our sales from a limited number of projects and transactions with the Federal Government. For the year ended December 31, 2010, approximately 96% of our sales came from the Federal Government or from prime contractors under Federal Government contracts. The completion or cancellation of a large project or a significant reduction in scope may significantly reduce our sales and gross margins. In addition, if we fail to secure an equal number of large transactions in the future, our results may be negatively impacted. Any dispute, failure to exercise an extension, or contract not renewed as a result of a re-compete may have a material adverse impact on our future operating results and gross margins.
If the Company is unable to attract and retain key management and sales personnel, it might not be able to find suitable replacements on a timely basis, and the Company’s business may be disrupted.
The Company’s success is largely dependent upon the continued service of a relatively small group of experienced and knowledgeable key executive, management and sales personnel. Since the Company entered into the SBA Agreement on October 19, 2010, the number of our employees has decreased from approximately 532 to 433 as of February 18, 2011. In addition, the Company believes that there is, and will continue to be, intense competition for qualified personnel in our industry, and there is no assurance that the Company will be able to attract or retain the personnel necessary for the management and development of its business. Turnover, particularly among senior management, can also create distractions as the Company searches for replacement personnel, which may result in significant recruiting, relocation, training and other costs, and can cause operational inefficiencies as replacement personnel become familiar with the Company’s business and operations. In addition, manpower in certain areas may be constrained, which may lead to disruptions over time. The loss or unavailability of one or more of the Company’s executive officers or the inability to attract or retain key management and sales employees currently or in the future may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.
We continue to shift our business model from a reseller of products to a high-end solutions provider and this new model has certain risks, including increased competition, which may impact future results.
We continue to evolve our business from one which resells commodity IT products to one which provides value-added solutions to our government customers. A number of risks are inherent in this strategy. We may not be able to maintain a workforce that has the technical skills to provide more complex technology to customers. Services and solutions require different internal accounting, tracking, and project management procedures, and there is no assurance we will be able implement and maintain those necessary procedures. We are now competing against organizations which have greater experience and past performance in selling solutions to government customers. Some of these competitors also have significantly greater financial, technical and marketing resources, generate greater sales and have greater name recognition than we do. Additionally, our efforts spent on evolving to a high-end solutions business model may detract from operating results.

Table of Contents

We believe our ability to continue to compete also depends in part on a number of competitive factors, including:
    Expertise in government procurement processes where standardized contracts exist
    Existing customer and vendor relationships (for which there is traditionally a high barrier to entry)
    Technical expertise
    Logistical capability
    The ability of our clients or competitors to hire and retain project managers and other senior technical staff
    The price at which others offer comparable technical solutions
    The extent of our competitors’ responsiveness to client needs
If we are unable to compete effectively we may experience operating losses and our market share may decline, adversely affecting our results of operations and financial condition. We also will need to continue to develop additional internal technical capabilities to identify, develop, market and sell more complex solutions, and there is no assurance we will be successful in these endeavors.
Any issue that compromises our relationship with Federal Government agencies would cause serious harm to our business.
Our sales are highly dependent on the Federal Government’s demand for IT products. Direct and indirect sales to numerous Federal Government agencies and departments accounted for 96%, 95% and 93% of our sales in 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively. We believe that Federal Government contracts will continue to be a source of the majority of our sales for the foreseeable future. For this reason, any issue that compromises our relationship with Federal Government agencies would cause serious harm to our business. A material decline in overall sales to the Federal Government as a whole, or to certain key agencies thereof, may have a materially adverse effect on our results of operations. Among the key factors in maintaining our relationships with Federal Government agencies are:
    Our performance on individual contracts and delivery orders
    The strength of our professional reputation
    The relationships of our key executives with customer personnel
    Our compliance with complex procurement laws and regulations related to the formation, administration and performance of Federal Government contracts
To the extent that our performance does not meet customer expectations, or our reputation or relationships deteriorate, this would cause a negative effect on our sales, profitability and cash flow. Noncompliance with government procurement regulations or contract provisions may result in substantial monetary fines or damages, suspension or debarment from doing business with the Federal Government, and civil or criminal liability.
Substantially, all of our government contracts are terminable at any time at the government’s convenience or upon default. If a government customer terminates one of our contracts for convenience, we may recover, at most, only our incurred or committed costs, settlement expense, and profit on work completed prior to the termination. Upon termination of a government contract for default, the government reserves the right to recover the excess costs of procuring the specified goods and services from a different contractor although GTSI would reserve the right to appeal. The effect of unexpected contract terminations would negatively impact our financial results.

Table of Contents

Adverse changes in Federal Government fiscal spending may have a negative effect on our sales, gross margin, and cash flow.
Changes in Federal Government spending policies or budget priorities may directly affect our financial performance. Among the factors that may materially harm our business are:
    A significant decline in spending by the Federal Government in general or by specific departments or agencies in particular
    Changes in the structure, composition and/or buying patterns of the Federal Government
    The adoption of new laws or regulations changing procurement practices
    Delays in the payment of our invoices by government payment offices
These or other factors may cause Federal Government agencies and departments to reduce their purchases under contracts, to exercise their right to terminate contracts, or not to exercise options to renew contracts, any of which would cause us to lose future revenue.
If we fail to comply with our Amended Credit Agreement, we may not be able to continue to operate our business.
The affirmative, negative and financial covenants of our Amended Credit Agreement impose certain operating restrictions and financial and reporting covenants on us. These restrictions and conditions may affect our ability to operate our business and may limit our ability to take advantage of potential business opportunities as they arise. The financial covenants require us, among other things, to:
    Maintain Tangible Net Worth not less than or equal to $45 million as of the end of each fiscal month
    Maintain Ratio of Total Liabilities to Tangible Net Worth not greater than 5.25 to 1.00 as of the end of each fiscal month
    Maintain Current Ratio not less than (i) 1.20 to 1.00 as of the last business day of the fiscal months of January, February, March, April, May, June, October, November and December and (ii) 1.15 to 1.00 as of the last business day of the fiscal months of July, August and September.
    Maintain minimum Total Debt Service Coverage Ratio of 1.25 to 1.00 as of the end of each fiscal month
The Company was in compliance with all financial covenants as set forth in the Amended Credit Agreement as of December 31, 2010.
While the Company believes that we will remain in compliance with all of the financial and reporting covenants in the Amended Credit Agreement, there can be no assurance that we will continue to do so. A breach of any of the covenants or restrictions in the Amended Credit Agreement may result in an event of default under the Amended Credit Agreement. Such a default may result in our lenders discontinuing lending or declaring all outstanding borrowings, including our inventory financing, to be due and payable. If any of these events occur, we would need to find additional or alternative financing, if available, to refinance any such accelerated obligations. There can be no assurance that such financing would be available.
Our business may be negatively affected by current global economic and credit conditions.
Our Amended Credit Agreement is provided by a syndication of several financial institutions that share the committed financing under the Amended Credit Agreement. Economic and credit market conditions have presented banks and financial institutions with significant challenges, which has led a number of such entities to seek capital from the U.S. Federal Government. Although we monitor the ability of the financial institutions within the syndication to fulfill their counterparty responsibilities, future market conditions may affect the ability of one or more of these financial institutions to provide the financing that has been committed under the Amended Credit Agreement. The inability to access our Amended Credit Agreement could have a material, adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and liquidity.

Infrastructure failures may have a material adverse effect on our business.
We are highly dependent on our infrastructure to process orders, track inventory, ship products in a timely manner, prepare invoices to our customers, recognize revenue and otherwise carry on our business in the ordinary course. In 2008, GTSI launched a large upgrade to the enterprise systems to gain advantage of features provided by the software vendor as well as utilize new architecture tools for supply chain fulfillment. As of December 31, 2010, GTSI continued to enjoy stabilized systems, but we cannot be assured that possible failures will not occur in the future. GTSI continues to plan for risk mitigation should a minor infrastructure disruption occur and as such will enforce operational continuity plans which are from time to time updated as needed.
Any material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting may have a material adverse effect on our business and a negative impact on our stock price.
A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Any evaluation of the effectiveness of controls is subject to risks that those internal controls may become inadequate in future periods because of changes in business conditions, changes in accounting practice or policy, or that the degree of compliance with the revised policies or procedures deteriorates. Our ability to maintain effective internal controls over all processes depends on our continued success at hiring and preserving adequate resources for ensuring that the accounting for all areas of the business complies with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Changes in accounting standards and subjective assumptions, estimates and judgments by management related to complex accounting matters may significantly affect our financial results.
Generally accepted accounting principles and related accounting pronouncements, implementation guidelines and interpretations with regard to a wide range of matters that are relevant to our business, including but not limited to, revenue recognition, stock-based compensation, receivables, inventories, self-insurance, income taxes and litigation, are highly complex and involve many subjective assumptions, estimates and judgments by our management. Changes in these rules or their interpretation or changes in underlying assumptions, estimates or judgments by our management may significantly change our reported or expected financial performance.
If we fail to align costs with our sales levels, net losses may result in future years.
Our profitability is a function of our ability to generate sales, improve our efficiency, and control costs. We plan our operating expense levels based primarily on forecasted sales levels. These expenses and the impact of long-term commitments are relatively fixed in the short-term. A short fall in sales may lead to operating results being below expectations because we may not be able to quickly reduce our fixed expenses in response to short term business changes. In addition any reductions in workforce may have significant risks, including decreases in employee morale and the failure to meet operational targets due to the loss of employees.
If we are unable to control our costs or generate sales to cover the costs required to run our business, net losses may result in future years and our business may be adversely affected.

Our quarterly sales, operating results and cash flows are volatile, which makes our future financial results difficult to forecast.
Our sales, operating results and cash flows have been, and are expected to continue to be, subject to significant fluctuations from quarter to quarter due to a number of factors including:
    The seasonality of our business due to the Federal Government’s buying and funding patterns
    Fluctuations in our gross margins due to variations in the mix of products sold and excess or obsolete inventory charges
    The number, size and scope of orders from our customers
    Demand for our services generated by strategic partnerships and certain prime contractors
    Availability of price protection, purchase discounts and rebate programs from vendors
    Contractual terms and degree of completion of projects
    Changes in our sales cycles as we move towards solution selling
Our recent level of product gross margins may not be sustainable. In addition, changes in services gross margin may result from various factors such as changes in the mix between technical support services and advanced services, as well as the timing of service contract initiations and renewals. As a consequence, sales volumes and operating results for future periods are difficult to predict and, therefore, prior results are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected in future periods.
Because we sometimes work with third parties, any failure by these third parties to satisfactorily perform their obligations may hurt our reputation, operating results and competitiveness.
We offer certain of our services to our customers through various third-party service providers engaged to perform these services on our behalf. In addition, we outsource parts of our operations to third-parties and may continue to explore opportunities to outsource others. In these engagements, we may engage subcontractors or we may act as subcontractor to the prime contractor of an engagement. If these third parties fail to maintain adequate levels of support, do not provide high quality services or cease or reduce operations, our business, operations, customer relations and sales may be negatively impacted and we may be required to pursue replacement third-party relationships, which we may not be able to obtain on as favorable terms or at all. In addition, the inability to negotiate terms of a contract with a third party, the refusal or inability of these third parties to permit continued use of their services by us, or the termination by the client or prime contractor of our services or the services of a key subcontractor would harm our operating results.
Our dependence on certain strategic partners (vendors) makes us vulnerable to the extent we rely on them.
We rely on a concentrated number of strategic partners for the majority of our hardware, software and related services needs. The terms of agreements with our vendors vary, but typically permit us to purchase products and services, that may be combined with integration and professional services for transactions with our government customers. Our vendor agreements are typically terminable by GTSI or the vendor on short notice, at will or immediately upon default by either party. If we can no longer obtain our hardware and software needs from our major suppliers due to mergers, acquisitions or consolidation within the marketplace, material changes in their partner programs, their refusal to continue to supply to us on reasonable terms or at all, and we cannot find suitable replacement suppliers, it may have a material adverse impact on our future operating results and gross margins.

Any potential future acquisitions, strategic investments or mergers may subject us to significant risks, any of which may harm our business.
Our long-term strategy may include identifying and acquiring, investing in or merging with suitable candidates on acceptable terms. In particular, over time, we may acquire, make investments in, or merge with providers of product offerings that complement our business. Currently, our financing agreement prohibits any acquisitions without our lender’s prior consent. Acquisitions would involve a number of risks and present financial, managerial and operational challenges, including:
    Diversion of management attention from running our existing business
    Possible additional material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting
    Increased expenses including legal, administrative and compensation expenses related to newly hired employees
    Increased costs to integrate the technology, personnel, customer base and business practices of the acquired company with our own
    Potential exposure to material liabilities not discovered in the due diligence process
    Potential adverse effects on our reported operating results due to possible write-down of goodwill and other intangible assets associated with acquisitions
    Acquisition financing may not be available on reasonable terms or at all
Any acquired business, technology, service or product may significantly under-perform relative to our expectations, and we may not achieve the benefits we expect from our acquisitions. For all these reasons, our pursuit of an acquisition, investment or merger may cause our actual results to differ materially from those anticipated.
Any potential future new lines of business may subject us to significant risks, any of which may harm our business.
Our long-term strategy may include new lines of business within the Federal and commercial business arena. Any new lines of business would involve a number of risks and may present financial, managerial and operational challenges. The results may significantly under-perform relative to our expectations, and we may not achieve the benefits we expect, which may have a material short term adverse impact on our future operating results and gross margins.
The risks discussed above are not the only risks we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently believe to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or results of operations in the future.
ITEM 1B.   UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS
None.
ITEM 2.   PROPERTIES
GTSI’s primary business is conducted from its corporate headquarters complex and distribution center located in Northern Virginia. We do not own any real property. In December 2007, GTSI executed a new 10-year lease for a new corporate headquarters in Herndon, Virginia and moved into the approximately 104,000 square-foot facility in November 2008. In June 2008, GTSI relocated its datacenter to a separate location owned and operated by a third party. The 42-month agreement, which includes options for additional years, calls for the hosting and providing power services for a company installed datacenter. GTSI’s primary distribution and integration operations are located in a facility of approximately 142,000 square feet in Chantilly under a lease expiring in December 2011.
Our corporate headquarters is a multi-tenant facility located in Herndon, Virginia, approximately five miles from our distribution and integration center directly on the Route 28 corridor, across from Dulles International Airport. The facility has an efficient space plan that incorporates a number of resources that enhances our business development such as a Client Solutions Center, upgraded testing labs and meeting spaces to enable our employees to take advantage of a number of amenities that are provided to the tenants of the facility. GTSI has a number of lease options for current and future space commitments under its 10-year term lease.
We believe the facilities we are retaining are in good condition and suitable to meet our current needs for the conduct of our business. For additional information regarding our obligations under leases, see Note 15 of the consolidated financial statements in Part II, Item 8 of this Form 10-K.

ITEM 3.   LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
On October 1, 2010, GTSI received notice from the SBA that GTSI was temporarily suspended from any future Federal Government contracting. The suspension notice cited that it was based on alleged evidence of the commission of fraud or a criminal offense in connection with GTSI obtaining, attempting to obtain and performing certain subcontracts with small businesses in 2007 and a lack of business integrity or business honesty that seriously or directly affected the present responsibility of GTSI as a government contractor. On October 19, 2010, GTSI entered into an administrative agreement with the SBA (the “SBA Agreement”) pursuant to which the SBA lifted the temporary federal contract suspension it had imposed on GTSI. As a result, GTSI is, subject to the SBA Agreement, engaged in its business with most of its existing clients and pursuing new Federal Government contracts.
Pursuant to the SBA Agreement, GTSI agreed that it will not obtain or attempt to obtain any new Federal Government contracts, subcontracts or any business, which in any capacity, whether directly or indirectly is intended to benefit small businesses, including task orders and options on existing contracts. This includes benefits in circumstances involving small businesses serving as prime contractors, joint ventures with small businesses and participating in the SBA’s mentor-protégé program. As also required by the SBA Agreement, GTSI has retained Debarment Solutions Institute, LLC, a SBA-approved monitor, to report regularly to the SBA on GTSI’s compliance with the SBA Agreement and applicable Federal Government contracting laws and regulations. The SBA Agreement will terminate on the earlier of (a) October 19, 2013, (b) the 90th day after the SBA’s Office of Inspector General’s notification of the completion of its continuing investigation of GTSI, or (c) the notification date of any proposed debarment of GTSI by the SBA.
In connection with the SBA Agreement, GTSI accepted the voluntary resignations of Scott Friedlander as Chief Executive Officer, President and a Director of GTSI, and Charles DeLeon as a Senior Vice President and General Counsel of GTSI, both effective as of October 26, 2010. In connection with their voluntary resignations the Company entered into separation agreements with Messrs. Friedlander and DeLeon. GTSI also suspended three other employees, who subsequently resigned. GTSI has conducted a review of its business ethics program that covers all employees and created a position and designated an employee as GTSI’s ethics officer who is responsible for managing GTSI’s business ethics program. At least once each year, GTSI will conduct an internal audit of its business practices, procedures, policies and internal controls for compliance with the SBA Agreement, GTSI’s code of business ethics and the special requirements regarding government contracting and report the results of such audit to the SBA and Debarment Solutions Institute, LLC.
The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Virginia is reviewing the same subject matter that led to the SBA temporary suspension of GTSI from Federal Government contracting and the resulting SBA Agreement. GTSI has provided information in response to that inquiry.
GTSI will continue to cooperate with the continuing investigations of GTSI’s conduct as a subcontractor for certain small businesses. The continuing investigations of GTSI by the Federal Government may result in administrative, civil or criminal penalties, including a recommendation that may adversely affect or terminate GTSI’s ability to serve as a government contractor.
EyakTek Arbitration and Certain Related Matters
By letter dated May 24, 2010 the SBA advised EyakTek that its request for a voluntary early graduation from the SBA’s Business Development Program under Section 8(a) of the Small Business Act (“Section 8(a) BD Program”) was approved, effective May 10, 2010. EyakTek’s Operating Agreement provides that EyakTek shall dissolve and commence winding up and liquidating upon its graduation from the Section 8(a) BD Program, unless EyakTek’s members by an affirmative vote of at least 65% of the membership interests decide to continue EyakTek’s business operations. While GTSI has not voted its 37% EyakTek membership interests to continue EyakTek’s business operations, such operations have continued since EyakTek’s graduation from the Section 8(a) BD Program.

In September 2010, GTSI filed a complaint in the Chancery Court of Delaware against EyakTek; two of EyakTek’s three owner/members—The Eyak Corporation (“Eyak Corp.”), which owns 51% of EyakTek, and Global Technology LLC, which owns 12% of EyakTek, (collectively, the “Member Defendants”); and several of EyakTek’s directors and officers (the “Individual Defendants”). GTSI is the third member of EyakTek, as noted above GTSI owns 37% of EyakTek. GTSI’s complaint alleged that EyakTek and the Member Defendants had breached EyakTek’s Operating Agreement by taking certain actions without GTSI’s approval, which is required under the Operating Agreement, including actions leading to the making of an unsolicited offer to acquire GTSI and the continuation of the business operations of EyakTek after its graduation from the Section 8(a) BD Program. The complaint further alleged that the Individual Defendants had breached their fiduciary duties and the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing by allowing EyakTek to take these actions. The complaint requested declaratory and injunctive relief, plus attorneys’ fees, against all of the defendants. On November 3, 2010, GTSI filed an amended complaint in the Chancery Court, which clarified the nature of relief sought and added an additional claim for breach of EyakTek’s Operating Agreement based upon EyakTek’s refusal to recognize GTSI’s designated director to EyakTek’s board of directors, among other matters.
In September 2010, EyakTek, the Member Defendants and Individual Defendants filed an arbitration demand with the American Arbitration Association asserting that GTSI’s claims in the Delaware Chancery Court are subject to arbitration under EyakTek’s Operating Agreement. The arbitration demand also asserted that GTSI’s filing of the Delaware complaint violated EyakTek’s Operating Agreement and constituted a breach of fiduciary duty and the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing that GTSI allegedly owes to EyakTek as an EyakTek member. The arbitration demand seeks declaratory relief, damages, and attorneys’ fees against GTSI.
GTSI filed a motion in the Delaware Chancery Court to dismiss or stay the above-referenced arbitration. EyakTek, the Member Defendants and Individual Defendants filed a motion to dismiss or stay GTSI’s lawsuit. The Delaware Chancery Court heard both sets of motions in November 2010 and subsequently, based primarily on its interpretation of the arbitration provision of EyakTek’s Operating Agreement, determined that the arbitrator and not the court must decide whether the matter is to proceed in court or in arbitration. Thus, the court granted the defendants’ request to stay GTSI’s lawsuit. GTSI’s appeal of such decision was not successful.
Thereafter, GTSI submitted before the above-referenced arbitrator claims against and request for relief from EyakTek, the Member Defendants and Individual Defendants similar to GTSI’s above-referenced claims and request for relief denied by the Delaware Chancery Court. In addition, GTSI requested the arbitrator to enforce the above-referenced provisions of EyakTek’s Operating Agreement requiring the dissolution of EyakTek because of its graduation from Section 8(a) BD Program. While the outcome of these continuing disputes with EyakTek, the Member Defendants and Individual Defendants is currently unknown, such outcome may include a buyout of GTSI’s ownership in EyakTek, the dissolution of EyakTek, the continuation of EyakTek under its current Operating Agreement or under a modified Operating Agreement or some other alternative agreed upon by the various parties involved or ruled by the arbitrator.
By letter dated November 1, 2010, Eyak Corp., through the same counsel that represents EyakTek, advised GTSI that Eyak Corp. was the owner of 100 shares of GTSI’s common stock, and as a GTSI stockholder Eyak Corp. was demanding that GTSI investigate and take actions on matters set forth in the letter, including matters that were the subject of GTSI’s claims before the Delaware Chancery Court. Eyak Corp. alleged that GTSI’s failure to approve the continuation of EyakTek’s business operations constitutes a breach of fiduciary duties by GTSI’s directors and officers and demands that they cure this breach by approving the continuation of EyakTek’s business operations. Eyak Corp. also demanded that, if the alleged breach is not cured, GTSI investigate its prior disclosure related to GTSI’s disputes and litigation with EyakTek, make appropriate disclosures, including to the SBA and GTSI’s lenders, and investigate GTSI’s financial statements and account balances in respect of GTSI’s 37% interest in EyakTek. Further, Eyak Corp. demanded that GTSI bring action against GTSI’s employees, officers and directors responsible for the foregoing alleged actions to recover damages for GTSI. GTSI’s board of directors and a special committee of the Board are investigating this matter and will take such action as they deem necessary or appropriate and in the best interest of GTSI and its stockholders, in accordance with Delaware law.
Law Firm Investigations
According to a number of public announcements, several law firms are investigating, on behalf of purchasers of GTSI common stock, potential violations of the federal securities laws by GTSI with a focus on whether statements regarding GTSI’s business, prospects and operations were materially false and misleading when they were made. These press releases also stated the investigations were based on the SBA accusations that GTSI obtained government contracts not available to GTSI due to its size. The press releases also encouraged any person who invested in GTSI common stock between January 1, 2007 and October 1, 2010 to contact the law firms.

Other Matters
In addition to the matters discussed above, we have, in the normal course of business, certain claims, including legal proceedings, against us and against other parties. We believe the resolution of these other claims that we have in the normal course of our business will not have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial position. However, the results of any legal proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty. Further, from time-to-time, agencies of the Federal Government, including the SBA and the U.S. Attorney’s Office as discussed above, investigate whether our operations are being conducted in accordance with applicable regulatory requirements. Federal Government investigations of us, whether relating to government contracts or conducted for other reasons, may result in administrative, civil or criminal liabilities, including repayments, fines or penalties being imposed upon us, or may lead to suspension or debarment from future Federal Government contracting. Federal Government investigations often take years to complete.

Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities
On June 8, 2009, GTSI’s Board of Directors (“the Board”) authorized a program for periodic purchases of GTSI common stock through May 27, 2011 for an aggregate purchase price not to exceed $5 million, replacing GTSI’s stock repurchase program announced in December 2008. In connection with the SBA Agreement, GTSI Corp. entered into the Amended Credit Agreement with its lenders, dated October 19, 2010, which prohibits GTSI from purchasing any of its common stock.

ITEM 6.   SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA
The following selected financial data is qualified in its entirety by reference to, and should be read in conjunction with, the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in this Form 10-K. The statement of operations data set forth below for the three years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008 and the balance sheet data as of December 31, 2010 and 2009 has been derived from GTSI’s audited consolidated financial statements that are included in Part II, Item 8 of this Form 10-K. The statement of operations data for the year ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 and the balance sheet data as of December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006 is derived from audited consolidated financial statements of GTSI that are not included herein.
In reviewing the statement of operations data for the five years ended December 31, 2010, 2009, 2008, 2007 and 2006 and the balance sheet data as of December 31, 2010, 2009, 2008, 2007 and 2006 the following material items should be considered. Loss from operations, net loss and loss per share for the year ended December 31, 2010, our net income and earnings per share for the year ended December 31, 2008, and our loss from operations, net loss and loss per share for the year ended December 31, 2006 were materially affected by certain items, which affects the comparability of the information presented with other years’ results. Loss from operations for the year ended December 31, 2010 included charges of $4.6 million to cost of sales and $3.0 million of Selling, General and Administrative (“SG&A”) expenses related to the SBA Agreement as discussed in Note 15 to GTSI’s consolidated financial statements. Income tax benefit for the year ended December 31, 2008 included the reversal of the tax valuation allowance of $4.6 million. Cost of sales for the year ended December 31, 2006 included the positive effects of the de-recognition of aged accrued payables of $5.8 million; a change in estimate of vendor rebates of $1.1 million; and a change in estimate of vendor payable amounts of $4.0 million. As a result of these items, loss from operations and net loss for the year ended December 31, 2006 was $10.9 million lower. All notes referenced are in Item 8 of this Form 10-K. Our historical results are not necessarily indicative of our results for any future period.

ITEM 7.   MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion and analysis is provided to increase the understanding of, and should be read in conjunction with, our audited consolidated financial statements and notes included in Part II, Item 8 of this Form 10-K. Historical results and percentage relationships among any amounts in the consolidated financial statements are not necessarily indicative of trends in operating results for any future period. We use the terms “GTSI,” “Company,” “we,” “our,” and “us” to refer to GTSI Corp. and its subsidiaries.
Overview
GTSI has more than 27 years of experience in selling IT products and solutions primarily to U.S. Federal, state and local governments and to prime contractors who are working directly on government contracts. We believe our key differentiators to be our strong brand among government customers, extensive contract portfolio, close relationships with wide variety of vendors, and a technology lifecycle management approach.
The IT solutions we offer to our customers have a strong product component, along with a services component on many solutions. We connect IT’s leading vendors, products and services inside the core technology areas most critical to government success by partnering with global IT leaders such as Cisco, Microsoft, Oracle, Hewlett Packard, Panasonic, Net App, Dell, Citrix and Hitachi. GTSI has strong strategic relationships with hardware and software industry leading OEMs and includes these products in the solutions we provide to our customers.
GTSI continues to develop and deliver information technology solutions that include products from OEM partners in the areas of Client End-Points, Networking, Data Center and Security. GTSI will continue to enable said solutions through consulting, integration, delivery and support services.
To help our customers acquire, manage and refresh this technology in a strategic and application-appropriate manner, GTSI has created a mix of professional and financial services capable of managing and funding the entire technology lifecycle. Additionally, GTSI offers leasing arrangements to allow government agencies to acquire access to technology on an evenly distributed operating expense basis, rather than on the much more budget-sensitive and discontinuous capital expense basis. We believe this model represents a distinctive advantage to our customers.
Summarized below are some of the possible material trends, demands, commitments, events and uncertainties currently facing the Company:
    On October 1, 2010, GTSI received a notice from the Small Business Administration (“SBA”) that the SBA was temporarily suspending GTSI from any future Federal Government contracting. On October 19, 2010, GTSI entered into an administrative agreement with the SBA lifting the temporary suspension (the “SBA Agreement”). In addition, GTSI entered into an Amended Credit Agreement, dated October 19, 2010, with its lenders. See our Note 15 “Commitments and Contingencies” in Item 8 and “Legal Proceedings” included in Item 3, for a discussion of these matters. While we are continuing to work to minimize the impact on our future business, the temporary suspension and SBA Agreement reduced sales and gross margin during the fourth quarter of 2010. During the three months ended December 31, 2010, the Company recorded $4.6 million of lease write-offs as a result of the SBA Agreement and incurred additional SG&A expenses of approximately $1.4 million, $0.7 million and $0.9 million related to severance, legal, and monitoring and other expenses, respectively, in connection with the SBA Agreement. If the Company is unable to generate additional sales, mitigate impacted opportunities and reduce operating costs to offset for lost sales activity and added administrative costs related to the restrictions under the SBA Agreement it may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition in future periods. The Company expects to incur additional SG&A expenses during the year ended December 31, 2011 related to legal, professional and monitoring and other expenses in connection with the SBA Agreement.

    Resolution of our continuing disputes with EyakTek and its other members may have a material adverse effect on our financial performance, as discussed in Item 3 “Legal Proceedings.” While the outcome of these continuing disputes with EyakTek and its other members is currently unknown, possible outcomes may include a buyout of our equity interests in EyakTek, the dissolution of EyakTek, the continuation of EyakTek under its current Operating Agreement or under a modified Operating Agreement or some other alternative agreed upon by the various parties involved or ruled by the arbitrator. The sale of our equity interest in EyakTek or EyakTek’s dissolution would result in GTSI having no future equity income from EyakTek as reported in GTSI’s Consolidated Statements of Operations. In the past, including for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, EyakTek’s equity income has had a material positive impact on GTSI’s financial performance. We believe that GTSI’s continuing disputes with EyakTek and its other members may have a material adverse affect on our financial performance. During the year ended December 31, 2010, the Company incurred legal fees of approximately $0.7 million related to the various EyakTek legal matters and will continue to incur legal expenses until a resolution is reached.
    We depend heavily on Federal Government contracts. The Federal Government is currently operating under a continuing resolution that is effective through March 18, 2011, and its budget for 2011 has not been finalized. A delay in the Federal Government budget process or a Federal Government shutdown may adversely affect our sales and gross margins, operating results and cash flows.
    In the near term, we face some uncertainties due to the current business environment. We have continued to experience a longer contracting process with DOD agencies, which is one of our traditionally stronger markets. This delay, along with an overall decrease in Federal Government IT spending may have a negative impact on our financial condition, operating performance, revenue, income or liquidity.
    A shift of expenditures away from programs that we support may cause Federal Government agencies to reduce their purchases under contracts, to exercise their right to terminate contracts at any time without penalty or to decide not to exercise options to renew contracts.
    With the Sun/Oracle merger and the continued consolidation within the OEM market place, we are likely to see continued pricing pressure from our partners in the market place.
The Company’s financial results for the year ended December 31, 2010 were negatively impacted by various government agencies spending trends, continued consolidation within the OEM market place, competitive pricing pressures and weak sales activity in certain pockets of the hardware and software commodity segments, especially within the DOD agencies.
During the year ended December 31, 2010, the Company reviewed its various divisions and departments and whether to increase or decrease personnel as may be appropriate to support its operations. The Company, which had 615 employees as of February 26, 2010, had 532 employees at October 19, 2010 and 433 employees as of February 18, 2011. The reduction of 83 employees from February 26, 2010 to October 19, 2010, included 52 hires, 68 involuntary separations and 67 voluntary separations. Since October 19, 2010, the reduction of 99 employees included 16 hires, 26 involuntary separations and 89 voluntary separations. During the three months ended December 31, 2010, the higher than expected rate of voluntary separations of employees has resulted in some key openings within our sales organization and other positions within our organization. We are actively recruiting for these positions to help minimize any impact on future revenue and results of operations. For the years ended December 31, 2010, and 2009, the Company recorded severance related costs, which are included in SG&A expenses, of $2.3 million and $0.6 million, respectively.
As discussed in more detail below:
    Our sales decreased approximately $95.2 million, or 12.5%, from 2009 to 2010;
    Gross margin decreased $21.1 million and gross margin as a percentage of sales decreased 1.2 percentage points from 2009 to 2010;
 
    In 2010, SG&A expenses decreased approximately $10.5 million however SG&A expenses as a percentage of sales increased 0.2 of a percentage point from 2009 to 2010;
    Our net loss for the year ended December 31, 2010 was $0.9 million;
    Cash used in operations totaled $3.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2010;

Our business experiences significant fluctuations in our quarterly sales, operating income (loss) and net income (loss) as a result of the buying patterns of the Federal Government, our primary customer. In 2008, our results were positively affected by the reversal of the tax valuation allowance of $4.6 million, which was recorded as an income tax benefit and increased our net income by $4.6 million or an increase of $0.47 per share. For additional details, see the further MD&A discussion below.
We continue to evolve as a provider of value-added infrastructure solutions that include both products and services to our government and system integrator customers. We continue to identify and eliminate certain redundancies within the Company and have terminated activities that have failed to yield adequate profitability. While the larger IT infrastructure solutions sales transactions represent a small percentage of our total transactions, they represent the majority of our margin and profits. Going forward, we will continue to focus on these larger, more profitable transactions, and drive processes and changes to make the delivery of the smaller transactions more profitable. In addition, we will continue to take other actions to become a profitable company.
Critical Accounting Estimates and Policies
The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. Critical accounting estimates are defined as those that are reflective of significant judgments and uncertainties, and potentially result in materially different results under different assumptions and conditions. We have included below our policies that are both important to our financial condition and operating results, and require management’s most subjective and complex judgments in determining the underlying estimates and assumptions.
The following list of critical accounting estimates and policies is not intended to be a comprehensive list of all of our accounting policies. Our significant accounting policies are more fully described in Note 1 to our consolidated financial statements in Item 8 of this Form 10-K. Accounting policies and estimates that management believes are most important to our financial condition and require management’s significant judgments and estimates pertain to revenue recognition, transfer of receivables, valuation of inventory, capitalized internal use software, accounts payable and income taxes. We have discussed the application of these critical accounting estimates and policies with the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors.
Revenue Recognition
We recognize revenue when persuasive evidence of a sale arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, the sales price is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured. The majority of our sales relates to physical products and is generally recognized when title and risk of loss to the products sold passes to the customer. Based on our standard shipping terms, title generally passes upon the customer’s receipt of the products. This requires us to analyze sales near the end of reporting periods to estimate the amount of products in transit to the customer that cannot be recognized as revenue. Many of our sales of physical products are shipped to our customers directly from our vendor partners. The accurate recording of revenue for these transactions relies upon the accuracy of shipment dates we receive from our vendors and is subject to additional estimates and judgments by management.
In accordance with FASB ASC 985-25, Software Revenue Recognition, the Company recognizes software related revenue from re-selling third party software licenses that do not require significant production, modification or customization, when persuasive evidence of a sale arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, the sales price is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured.

As discussed in Note 1 “New Accounting Pronouncements,” in Item 8, effective January 1, 2011 the Company adopted on a prospective basis for all new or materially modified arrangements entered into on or after January 1, 2011, the new accounting guidance for multiple-deliverable revenue arrangements and the new guidance related to the scope of existing software revenue recognition guidance. The guidance does not generally change the units of accounting for the Company’s revenue transactions. Most of the Company’s products and services qualify as separate units of accounting. The Company is still evaluating the impact from this adoption and does not expect that it will have a material impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements.
The Company enters into revenue arrangements that may consist of multiple deliverables of its products and services based on the needs of its clients. These arrangements may include any combination of hardware, software, services and/or financing.
When a customer order contains multiple items such as hardware, software and services which are delivered at varying times, the Company determines whether the delivered items can be considered separate units of accounting as prescribed under FASB ASC 605-25, Revenue Recognition, Multiple-Element Arrangements (“ASC 605-25”). ASC 605-25 states that delivered items should be considered separate units of accounting if delivered items have value to the customer on a standalone basis and if delivery of undelivered items is probable and substantially in GTSI’s control.
Generally, the Company is able to establish fair value for all elements of the arrangement. In these instances, revenue is recognized on each element separately. However, if the delivered items do not have stand alone value to the customer without additional services provided, the Company recognizes revenue on the contract as a single unit of accounting, based on either the completed-contract or proportional-performance methods as described below. The Company has allocated revenue from multiple-element arrangements to the multiple elements based on the relative fair value of each element, which was generally based on the relative sales price of each element when sold separately.
We also offer lease and other financing arrangements to customers to acquire technology. These arrangements typically have terms from two to four years and are generally accounted for as sales-type leases under FASB ASC 840, Leases.
Certain of our service and solution agreements require the evaluation of pattern of performance. Revenues on professional service contracts are generally recognized using the proportional-performance basis of accounting. For some professional services engagements the completed-performance method is used when there are customer-specified subjective acceptance criteria.
At the time of sale, we record an estimate for product returns based on historical experience. Management reviews the assumptions regarding the lag time and volume of sales returns at least on a quarterly basis, and changes in the estimates are recorded in the period in which they occur.
In accordance with FASB ASC 605-50, Revenue Recognition, Customer Payments and Incentives, we record vendor rebates received under our vendor incentive programs pursuant to a binding arrangement as a reduction of cost of sales based on a systematic and rational allocation that results in progress by the Company toward earning the rebate provided the amounts are probable and reasonably estimable. If the rebate is not probable and reasonably estimable, it is recognized as the milestones are achieved.
Financing Receivables
We enter into complex agreements with our customers to provide IT solutions with payment terms generally spread over a two to four-year period. Usually we monetize these future revenue streams by selling such receivables to third party financial institutions. We have master service agreements with multiple lenders each with varying terms. These agreements, as well as the individual transaction agreements, require significant analysis to determine whether the transfer of the receivable should be accounted for as a sale or a secured borrowing with pledge of collateral based on FASB ASC 860, Transfers and Servicing, criteria that requires GTSI to effectively surrender control over the asset. The technical accounting and legal requirements involved are complex and subject to interpretation. Significant judgment is required to determine if we have effectively surrendered control over the asset. If certain criteria are met and control is surrendered, the transaction is recorded as financing revenue and associated expenses as cost of sales. If the transfer does not meet the criteria for a sale, the transaction is reported as a secured borrowing with pledge of collateral. The collateral remains on our balance sheet and revenues and cost of sales are recognized over the term of the agreement.

Stock-Based Compensation
Effective January 1, 2006, we adopted FASB ASC 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation, which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all share-based payments on estimated fair values. We adopted this standard using the modified-prospective transition method.
Inventory
Our inventory is stated at the lower of average cost or market value. We reduce the value of our inventory for excess and obsolete inventory based on assumptions about future demand and market conditions. Our estimates of future product demand may prove to be inaccurate, in which case we may have understated or overstated the provision required for excess or obsolete inventory. In the future, if there were a higher incidence of inventory obsolescence because of rapidly changing technology and customer requirements, we would be required to increase our expense to write-down inventory to market value and our gross margin may be adversely affected.
Capitalized Internal Use Software
Significant judgment is required to determine what expenditures qualify for capitalization of internal use software. Subsequent additions, modifications or upgrades to internal-use software are capitalized only to the extent that they allow the software to perform a task that it previously did not perform. Capitalized internal use software is required to be tested for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amount may not be recoverable. If the carrying value exceeds the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the asset, an impairment charge is recognized for the amount by which the carrying value exceeds fair market value.
Accounts Payable
We purchase significant amounts of inventory each year and record an estimate of the payable based on the purchases as of the balance sheet date. For products shipped directly from our vendors to our customers, management makes estimates regarding the payable for shipped goods. As invoices are received, we record adjustments for actual prices paid. Changes in our estimate of the payable balance may be caused by changes in price between the order date and the receipt date related to volume discounts, changes in market rates, or special pricing promotions offered by our vendors.
Bids and Proposals
We amortize costs that are directly related to the acquisition of a long-term contract and that would have not been incurred but for the acquisition of that contract (incremental direct acquisition costs). As long-term contracts are awarded the related up-front incentive costs, which are specific incremental costs associated with the acquisition of long-term contracts, are recorded as prepaid/deferred assets and amortized over the term of the contract or five years, whichever is shorter.
Income Taxes
Determining our effective tax rate, provision for tax expense, deferred tax assets and liabilities and the related valuation allowance involves judgments and estimates. Deferred income taxes result from temporary differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and the basis reported in our consolidated financial statements. Deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the difference between financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted rates expected to be in effect during the year in which the differences reverse. Valuation allowances are provided against assets, including net operating losses, if it is anticipated that the asset is not more likely than not to be realized through future taxable earnings or implementation of tax planning strategies. We record reserves for uncertain tax positions, which management believes are adequate. As of December 31, 2010, management believes it is more likely than not that the net deferred tax assets will be realized and no valuation allowance is required. In 2008, management concluded that it is more likely than not that the net deferred tax assets would be realized and released the full valuation allowance of $4.6 million based on our 2008 pre-tax book income of approximately $6.0 million and management’s projections of future profitability. Our effective tax rate in a given period may be impacted if we determine the allowance is or is not required, or if we were required to pay amounts in excess of established reserves. See Note 13 of the consolidated financial statements in Item 8 of this Form 10-K.

Product revenue includes the sale of hardware, software and license maintenance on the related software. Product revenue decreased $84.7 million, or 12.5%, from $678.0 million in 2009 to $593.3 million in 2010. Product revenue as a percent of total revenue was 89.0% in 2009 and 2010. During the year ended December 31, 2010, the Company was impacted by an overall decrease in hardware and software revenue due to various government agencies spending trends, the weak economy, weak sales activity in certain pockets of the hardware and software commodity segments, and several large software orders during 2009. The Company was also impacted during the three months ended December 31, 2010, by the temporary suspension and the SBA Agreement, which resulted in lost product deals the Company believed would have been awarded to GTSI. Overall product revenue was down 12.5%, with hardware revenue declining 6.6% and software revenue decreasing 28.6% for 2010 as compared to 2009. Hardware sales decreased $32.5 million, from $495.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2009 to $463.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2010. In particular, hardware sales during the year ended December 31, 2010 to the Army, Navy and Department of Justice decreased by approximately $47 million, $14 million and $17 million, respectively; whereas hardware sales to our system integrators increased approximately $39 million. Software sales decreased $52.1 million, from $182.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2009 to $130.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2010, partially due to decreased software sales to the Marines and Intelligence Agencies of approximately $16 million and $11 million, respectively, during the year ended December 31, 2010.
Service revenue includes the sale of professional services, resold third-party service products, hardware warranties and maintenance on hardware; as detailed in Note 1, we net revenues where we are not the primary obligor, we netted approximately $160.5 million and $131.7 million in 2009 and 2010, respectively. Sales decreased $4.5 million, or 8.1%, from $55.6 million in 2009 to $51.1 million in 2010. Service revenue as a percent of total revenue increased from 7.3% in 2009 to 7.7% in 2010. Professional service revenue decreased $4.4 million from $39.5 million in 2009 to $35.1 million in 2010, mainly due to a reduction of projects in 2010.
Financing revenue consists of lease related transactions and includes the sale of leases that are properly securitized having met the sale criteria under FASB ASC 860, Transfers and Servicing (“ASC 860”), the annuity streams of in-house leases and leases that are not securitized or have not met the sale criteria under ASC 860 and the sale of previously leased equipment. Financing revenue decreased $6.0 million, or 21.3%, from $28.3 million in 2009 to $22.3 million in 2010; due to lower sales of new leases that were properly securitized under ASC 860. Leases sold that were properly securitized decreased $4.3 million, from $22.3 million in 2009 to $18.0 million in 2010.
Although we offer our customers access to products from hundreds of vendors (2010 vs 2009 comparison based on 2010 top vendor sales), 53.0% of our total sales in 2010 were products from our top five vendors, Cisco was our top vendor in 2010 with sales of $138.4 million. Sales from our top five vendors decreased by $59.3 million, or 14.4%; and as a percent of total sales the top five vendors decreased 1.1 percentage points to 53.0% in 2010 from 54.1% in 2009. Sales from Cisco and Dell increased by $6.5 million and $10.1 million, respectively year over year. Sales of Microsoft, Oracle and Hewlett-Packard decreased by $57.1 million, $16.3 million and $2.4 million, respectively year over year.
Gross Margin
Total gross margin, consisting of product, service and financing revenue, decreased $21.2 million, or 20.9%, from $101.5 million in 2009 to $80.3 million in 2010. As a percentage of total sales, gross margin decreased 1.2 percentage points from 13.3% in 2009 to 12.1% in 2010. The gross margin activity of each of the three product lines are discussed below.
Product gross margin decreased $9.2 million, or 13.8%, from $66.7 million in 2009 to $57.5 million in 2010. During the year ended December 31, 2010, the Company’s gross margin was impacted by various government agencies spending trends, an overall decrease in hardware and software revenue, weak sales activity with two of our largest DOD customers, continued pricing pressures from Oracle and our other partners, and several large software orders that closed during the first six months of 2009. The Company was also impacted during the three months ended December 31, 2010, by the temporary suspension and the SBA Agreement, which resulted in lost product deals the Company believed would have been awarded to GTSI. Product gross margin as a percentage of sales decreased 0.1 of a percentage point from 9.8% in 2009 to 9.7% in 2010, as the Company continued to see pricing pressures from our partners.
Service gross margin decreased $5.2 million, or 23.2%, from $22.4 million in 2009 to $17.2 million in 2010, due to the decreases in margin for professional and third party services. Service gross margin as a percentage of sales decreased 6.5 percentage points to 33.7% for 2010 from 40.2% in 2009. These gross margin decreases were driven by lower revenue and gross margin in delivery and support services during the year ended 2010 as compared to 2009.

Table of Contents

Gross margin from financing activities decreased $6.8 million, or 54.8%, from $12.4 million in 2009 to $5.6 million in 2010, due to the write-off of financing receivables, a decrease in the sale of leases that are properly securitized and lower annuity streams of in-house leases. As a result of the SBA Agreement certain multiyear financing agreements were exited which resulted in a $4.6 million write-off of financing receivables. Financing gross margin as a percentage of sales decreased 18.7 percentage points from 43.9% in 2009 to 25.2% in 2010 because of the write-off of financing receivables in 2010.
Selling, General & Administrative Expenses (“SG&A”)
SG&A expenses for 2010 decreased $10.5 million, or 10.7% as compared to the prior year. SG&A expenses as a percentage of sales increased to 13.1% for 2010 from 12.9% in 2009. The decrease in SG&A expenses was mainly due to lower personnel related costs of $9.9 million attributed to lower margins resulting in a $5.1 million reduction of incentive and commission compensation expense and lower salary and related costs of $6.5 million due to lower headcount in 2010 as compared to prior the year; partially offset by $1.7 million higher severance related costs during the year ended December 31, 2010. Other changes in SG&A expenses included an increase of consulting expense of $1.0 million, an increase of legal fees of $0.7 million and a decrease of travel expenses of $0.6 million during the year ended December 31, 2010. During the three months ended December 31, 2010, the Company incurred additional SG&A expenses of approximately $1.4 million, $0.7 million and $0.9 million related to severance, legal and monitoring and other expenses in connection with the SBA Agreement. In addition, during the year ended December 31, 2010, the Company incurred approximately $0.7 million of legal expenses in connection with the various EyakTek legal matters.
Interest and Other Income, Net
Interest and other income, net, for 2010 was $7.5 million as compared to $6.3 million in the prior year, an increase of $1.2 million. The improvement in interest and other income, net, was due to lower expenses related to the Credit Agreement and Amended Credit Agreement along with deferred financing costs written off in 2009; partially offset by a $0.3 million reduction in equity income. During the second quarter of 2009 the old Credit Facility was terminated and the related unamortized deferred financing costs of $1.5 million were written-off to interest expense. Equity income from affiliates related to our equity investment in EyakTek decreased by $0.3 million in 2010 compared with prior year. There were no borrowings under the Credit Facility, Credit Agreement or Amended Credit Agreement since March 2009.
Income Taxes
For the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, GTSI had income before income taxes of $0.2 million and $9.7, respectively.
The effective income tax rate was 648.6% and 43.5% for the year ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The increase in the tax rate from 2009 to 2010 was due to non-deductible stock expense in 2010 of $3.5 million that did not occur in the same period of 2009: partially offset by an income tax benefit of less than $0.3 million that was recorded related to an adjustment to a true-up for the filing of the 2009 tax returns. Excluding the effects of non-deductible stock expense and the benefit related to the true-up for the filing of the 2009 tax returns, the effective tax rate would have been 40.0% for the year ended December 31, 2010.

Year Ended December 31, 2009 Compared with Year Ended December 31, 2008
Sales
Total sales, consisting of product, service and financing revenue, decreased $59.3 million, or 7.2%, from $821.2 million in 2008, to $761.9 million in 2009. The sales activity of each of the three product lines are discussed below.
Product revenue includes the sale of hardware, software and license maintenance on the related software. Product revenue decreased $67.4 million, or 9.0%, from $745.4 million in 2008 to $678.0 million in 2009. Product revenue as a percent of total revenue decreased 1.8 percentage points from 90.8% in 2008 to 89.0% in 2009. The decrease in product revenue is the result of lower hardware sales during the six months ended December 31, 2009. Overall product revenue was down 9.0%, with hardware revenue declining 15.4% and software revenue growing 14.2% for 2009 as compared to 2008. The majority of the hardware revenue decline resulted during the six months ended December 31, 2009 as compared to the same period in 2008, as the Company was impacted by the ongoing weak economy, delays in contracts being awarded and competitive pricing pressure.
Service revenue includes the sale of professional services, resold third-party service products, hardware warranties and maintenance on hardware; as detailed in Note 1, we net revenues where we are not the primary obligor, we netted approximately $124.8 million and $160.5 million in 2008 and 2009, respectively. Sales decreased $0.9 million, or 1.6%, from $56.5 million in 2008 to $55.6 million in 2009. Service revenue as a percent of total revenue increased from 6.9% in 2008 to 7.3% in 2009. Professional service revenue increased $0.3 million from $39.2 million in 2008 to $39.5 million in 2009, whereas integration and support service revenue declined in 2009 as compared to 2008.
Financing revenue consists of lease related transactions and includes the sale of leases that are properly securitized having met the sale criteria under FASB ASC 860, Transfers and Servicing (“ASC 860”), the annuity streams of in-house leases and leases that are not securitized or have not met the sale criteria under ASC 860 and the sale of previously leased equipment. Financing revenue increased $9.0 million, or 46.8%, from $19.3 million in 2008 to $28.3 million in 2009; due to higher sales of new leases that were properly securitized under ASC 860. Leases sold that were properly securitized increased $11.3 million, from $11.0 million in 2008 to $22.3 million in 2009.
Although we offer our customers access to products from hundreds of vendors (2009 vs 2008 comparison based on 2009 top vendor sales), 54.1% of our total sales in 2009 were products from our top five vendors, Cisco was our top vendor in 2009 with sales of $131.9 million. Sales from our top five vendors increased by $12.9 million, or 3.2%; and as a percent of total sales the top five vendors increased 5.5 percentage points to 54.1% in 2009 from 48.6% in 2008. The higher percentage of sales with our top five vendors reflects our continued focused vendor strategy.
Sales from Cisco, Sun Microsystems and Microsoft increased by $10.9 million, $12.6 million and $13.1 million, respectively, year over year. Sales of Dell and Hewlett-Packard decreased by $5.0 million and $18.7 million, respectively, year over year. Our sixth largest vendor in 2009 was Panasonic with sales of $48.9 million in 2009, compared to $55.4 million in 2008.
Gross Margin
Total gross margin, consisting of product, service and financing revenue, decreased $5.9 million, or 5.5%, from $107.4 million in 2008 to $101.5 million in 2009. As a percentage of total sales, gross margin increased 0.2 of a percentage point from 13.1% in 2008 to 13.3% in 2009. The gross margin activity of each of the three product lines are discussed below.
Product gross margin decreased $4.9 million, or 6.8%, from $71.5 million in 2008 to $66.7 million in 2009. The lower product sales in 2009 were slightly offset by a higher product gross margin in 2009 compared to 2008, as the Company was impacted by the ongoing weak economy, delays in contracts being awarded and competitive pricing pressure. Product gross margin as a percentage of sales increased 0.2 of a percentage point from 9.6% in 2008 to 9.8% in 2009, as the Company continued its focus on our strategic partners.
Service gross margin decreased $2.6 million, or 10.4%, from $25.0 million in 2008 to $22.4 million in 2009, due to the decreases in margin for professional and third party services. Service gross margin as a percentage of sales decreased 4.0 percentage points to 40.2% for 2009 from 44.2% in 2008. These gross margin decreases were mainly the result of lower margins in professional services.
Gross margin from financing activities increased $1.5 million, or 14.2%, from $10.9 million in 2008 to $12.4 million in 2009, due to the increase in the sale of leases that are properly securitized; partially offset lower annuity streams of in-house leases along with current credit conditions in the financial markets that have negatively impacted the gross margin on the sale of leases that were properly securitized in 2009. Financing gross margin as a percentage of sales decreased 12.5 percentage points from 56.4% in 2008 to 43.9% in 2009.

Selling, General & Administrative Expenses (“SG&A”)
SG&A expenses for 2009 decreased $5.7 million, or 5.5% as compared to the prior year. SG&A expenses as a percentage of sales increased to 12.9% for 2009 from 12.6% in 2008. The decrease in SG&A expenses was mostly due to lower personnel related costs of $4.5 million attributed to lower margins resulting in a $3.1 million reduction of incentive and commission compensation expense, lower consulting related costs of $0.9 million and lower credit card fees of $0.9 million; partially offset by higher facility related costs of $0.7 million related to our new corporate headquarters.
Interest and Other Income, Net
Interest and other income, net, for 2009 was $6.3 million compared to $2.5 million in the prior year, an increase of $3.8 million. Equity income related to our equity investments in Eyak Technology, LLC increased $3.4 million in 2009 compared with prior year due to much higher sales in 2009. Interest and other income increased $0.2 million as compared with prior year due to higher purchase discounts in 2009. Interest and other income in 2009 includes a legal settlement gain and a legal settlement loss that totaled $0.1 million of other income, net. Interest expense was $0.3 million lower in 2009 due to lower interest expense of $0.7 million; partially offset by the write-off in the second quarter of 2009 of unamortized deferred financing costs related to the terminated Credit Facility. There were no borrowings under the Credit Facility or Credit Agreement since March 2009.
Income Taxes
In 2009, we recorded a tax provision of $4.2 million, based on an effective tax rate of 43.5%, as compared to a tax benefit of $1.8 million in 2008. The tax benefit recorded during 2008 was due to the reversal of the tax valuation allowance of $4.6 million, partially offset by income tax expense of $2.8 million, primarily attributable to income from continuing operations.
Seasonal Fluctuations
We have historically experienced and expect to continue to experience significant seasonal fluctuations in our operations as a result of the U.S. Federal Government buying and funding patterns. The unpredictability of the factors affecting such seasonality makes our annual and quarterly financial results difficult to predict and subject to significant fluctuation. While sales to the Federal Government are usually weaker in the first and second quarter and stronger in the third and fourth quarter, our SG&A expenses are more level throughout the year. As such, first and second quarter earnings are typically well below those of the third and fourth quarters. Our stock price may be adversely affected if any such financial results fail to meet the financial community’s expectations.

Table of Contents

During 2010, our cash balance decreased $3.8 million from our December 31, 2009 balance. The non-interest bearing floor plan loans under the Credit Agreement or Amended Credit Agreement, which are classified as Accounts Payable — floor plan on our consolidated balance sheets, are included as a financing activity on our consolidated statements of cash flows.
Cash used in operating activities for 2010 was $3.2 million, an increase of $1.5 million compared to last year. The 2010 increase was primarily due to a $58.9 million decrease in accounts payable for the year ended 2010; partially offset by a $54.7 million decrease in accounts receivable and $1.7 million decrease in other current assets. As a result of the SBA Agreement, certain multiyear financing agreements were modified or terminated, which resulted in a $4.6 million write-off of financing receivables. In addition, some other multiyear financing agreements were restructured to become due within the next 12 months, resulting in a $22.0 million decrease in accounts receivable and long-term receivables along with a corresponding $22.0 million decrease in accrued liabilities and other liabilities. There was no cash impact from these adjustments during the year ended December 31, 2010. Cash used in operating activities for 2009 was $1.7 million, a decrease of $10.6 million compared to 2008. The 2009 decrease was primarily due to a $18.9 million increase in accounts receivable for the year ended 2009; partially offset by a $6.2 million increase in accounts payable, $6.0 million decrease in deferred costs and $3.7 million decrease in other current assets.
Cash used in investing activities for 2010 was $0.3 million, a decrease of $1.0 million as compared to 2009. This decrease was mainly due to higher purchases of assets in 2009 related to GTSI’s Enterprise Management System.
Cash used in financing activities for 2010 was $0.4 million, a change of $11.3 million as compared with cash provided by financing activities of $10.9 million for 2009. The change was due to $34.9 million of floor plan loans in 2009 related to the Credit Agreement as compared to $0.3 million in 2010; partially offset by net repayments under the Credit Facility of $22.4 million during 2009 and common stock purchases of $1.0 million during 2010 as compared to $2.3 million of net share settlements for 2009.
Credit Facility, Credit Agreement and Amended Credit Agreement
In 2006, the Company entered into a $135 million credit agreement with a group of lenders (the “Credit Facility”). This Credit Facility was terminated on May 27, 2009 and the related unamortized deferred financing costs of $1.5 million were written-off.
On May 27, 2009, we entered into a $135 million credit agreement with Castle Pines Capital LLC (“CPC”) and other lenders (the “Credit Agreement”). The Credit Agreement provides a “vendor and distributor program” under which we receive financing for inventory purchases from several of our largest CPC approved vendors with extended payment terms.
On October 1, 2010, GTSI received a notice from the SBA that GTSI was temporarily suspended from any future Federal Government contracting. On October 19, 2010, GTSI entered into the SBA Agreement, which among other things, terminated GTSI’s temporary suspension from Federal Government contracting.
In connection with the SBA Agreement, GTSI entered into the Amended Credit Agreement, dated as of October 19, 2010, with its lenders to amend the Credit Agreement by reducing the total facility limit from an aggregate principal amount of $135 million to $100 million and the aggregate revolving loan facility limit from $60 million to $45 million (“Amended Credit Agreement”). The Amended Credit Agreement, which matures on May 27, 2011, carries an interest rate indexed at 1-Month LIBOR plus 300 basis points for revolving loan advances and 1-Month LIBOR plus 350 basis points for floor plan loans. Borrowing under the Amended Credit Agreement at any time is limited to the lesser of (a) $100 million or (b) a collateral-based borrowing base (eligible accounts receivable and inventory balances) less outstanding obligations relating to any borrowings, floor plan loans and stand-by letters of credits. Further, the Amended Credit Agreement prohibits GTSI from purchasing any of its common stock.

  $ 49,875  
 
     
As of December 31, 2010, the Company had no outstanding loan balance (other than non-interest bearing floor plan loans) under the Amended Credit Agreement and as reflected above, available credit thereunder of $49.9 million.
The Amended Credit Agreement contains customary covenants limiting our ability to, among other things (a) incur debt; (b) make guarantees or grant or suffer liens; (c) repurchase our common stock, (d) make certain restricted payments (including cash dividends), purchase other businesses or investments; (e) enter into transactions with affiliates; (f) dissolve, change names, merge or enter into certain other material agreement regarding changes to the corporate entities; (g) acquire real estate; and (h) enter into sales and leaseback transactions.
The financial covenants of the Amended Credit Agreement require us, among other restrictions, to:
    Maintain Tangible Net Worth not less than or equal to $45 million as of the end of each fiscal month
    Maintain Ratio of Total Liabilities to Tangible Net Worth not greater than 5.25 to 1.00 as of the end of each fiscal month
    Maintain Current Ratio not less than (i) 1.20 to 1.00 as of the last business day of the fiscal months of January, February, March, April, May, June, October, November and December and (ii) 1.15 to 1.00 as of the last business day of the fiscal months of July, August and September
    Maintain minimum Total Debt Service Coverage Ratio of 1.25 to 1.00 as of the end of each fiscal month
The Amended Credit Agreement provides, as did the Credit Agreement, that the existence of a material proceeding against the Company or the Company’s failure to be in compliance with all material laws constitutes an event of default under the agreement. Furthermore, the Amended Credit Agreement contains information covenants requiring the Company to provide the lenders certain information. The Company was in compliance with all financial and informational covenants as set forth in the Amended Credit Agreement as of December 31, 2010. If the Company fails to comply with any material provision or covenant of our Amended Credit Agreement, it would be required to seek a waiver or amendment of covenants.
The Company currently relies on its Amended Credit Agreement as its primary vehicle to finance its operations. See Note 18 “Subsequent Events” for discussion of the extension from May 27, 2011 to May 27, 2012 of the maturity date of the Amended Credit Agreement in respect of CPC’s 74.08% of the total loan commitment thereunder.
The Company defers loan financing costs and recognizes these costs throughout the term of the loans. The Company deferred $0.1 million of loan financing costs related to the Credit Agreement during the second quarter of 2009. Deferred financing costs as of December 31, 2010 and 2009 were less than $0.1 million and $0.1 million, respectively.
Capital Resources and Requirements
Our ongoing capital requirements depend on a variety of factors, including the extent to which we are able to fund the cash needs of our business from operations. During 2010 and 2009, we relied upon our cash provided by operating activities, vendor credit, inventory financing and the availability under the Credit Agreement and Amended Credit Agreement to fund our operations. We anticipate continuing to rely upon these sources to finance our operating cash needs and we believe that such funds should be sufficient to satisfy our anticipated cash requirements throughout 2011. See Note 18 “Subsequent Events” for discussion of the extension from May 27, 2011 to May 27, 2012 of the maturity date of the Amended Credit Agreement in respect of CPC’s 74.08% of the total loan commitment thereunder.

While the Company believes that we will remain in compliance with all of the financial and reporting covenants under the Amended Credit Agreement, there can be no assurance that we will do so. A breach of any of the covenants or restrictions in the Amended Credit Agreement may result in an event of default under the Amended Credit Agreement. Such a default may result in the lenders discontinuing lending or declaring all outstanding borrowings to be due and payable. If any of these events occur, we would need to find additional or alternative financing, if available, to refinance any such accelerated obligations. There can be no assurance that such financing would be available.
As of December 31, 2010, GTSI had no outstanding finance lease debt as compared to $0.8 million as of December 31, 2009.
During 2010 and 2009, we made capital expenditures of $0.3 million and $1.3 million, respectively. In 2009, the expenditures were mainly related to GEMS enhancements.

(a)   This amount includes current liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet for FASB ASC 840, Income Taxes. The Company is not able to reasonably estimate the timing of the future payments.
At December 31, 2010, GTSI has change in control agreements with 10 executives and key employees and severance agreements with six executives. These arrangements provide for payments of as much as 15 months of total target compensation and continuation of benefits upon the occurrence of specified events. As of December 31, 2010, no accruals have been recorded for these agreements.
As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company provided a letter of credit in the amount of $2.4 million for the office space lease signed in December 2007.
As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company had an outstanding letter of credit in the amount of $2.7 million to guarantee the performance by the Company of its obligations under customer contracts.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements (as defined in Regulations S-K, Item 303, paragraph (a)(4)(ii)) that have or are reasonably likely to have a material current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, sales or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

ITEM 7A.   QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
GTSI had a $135 million Credit Facility indexed at the Prime Rate plus margin as of December 31, 2008. The Company terminated the Credit Facility on May 27, 2009 and entered into the $135 million Credit Agreement, which includes inventory financing. The Credit Agreement provides a “vendor and distributor program” under which we receive financing for inventory purchases from several of our largest CPC approved vendors with extended payment terms. The Credit Agreement carries an interest rate indexed at 1-Month LIBOR plus 300 basis points for revolving loan advances and 1-Month LIBOR plus 350 basis points for floor plan loans.
On October 19, 2010, GTSI entered into the Amended Credit Agreement to amend the Credit Agreement by reducing the total facility limit from an aggregate principal amount of $135 million to $100 million and the aggregate revolving loan facility limit from $60 million to $45 million.
This Amended Credit Agreement exposes us to market risk from changes in interest rates. For purposes of specific risk analysis, we use sensitivity analysis to determine the effects that market risk exposures may have.
Our results of operations may be affected by changes in interest rates due to the impact those changes may have on borrowings under our Amended Credit Agreement. If interest rates increase, our debt service obligations on the variable rate indebtedness would increase even though the amount borrowed remained the same, which would require more cash to service our indebtedness. As of December 31, 2010, the Company had no outstanding loan balance (other than non-interest bearing floor plan loans) and an available credit of $49.9 million. As of December 31, 2009, the Company had no outstanding loan balance (other than non-interest bearing floor plan loans) and an available credit of $82.9 million.

ITEM 8.   FINANCIAL STATEMENTS & SUPPLEMENTARY DATA
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To Board of Directors and Stockholders
  of GTSI Corp.:
In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and the related consolidated statements of operations, of changes in stockholders’ equity, and of cash flows present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of GTSI Corp. and its subsidiaries at December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2010 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. In addition, in our opinion, the financial statement schedule listed in the index appearing under item 15(a)(2) presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein when read in conjunction with the related consolidated financial statements. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and on the financial statement schedule based on our audits. We did not audit the financial statements of Eyak Technology, LLC, an investment accounted for under the equity method, for which GTSI Corp. reflected in other assets of $10.6 million and $8.0 million as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, and reflected income from affiliate of $7.9 million, $8.3 million, and $4.9 million reflected for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The financial statements of Eyak Technology, LLC were audited by other auditors whose report thereon has been furnished to us, and our opinion on the financial statements expressed herein, insofar as it relates to the amounts included for Eyak Technology, LLC, is based solely on the report of the other auditors. We conducted our audits of these statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

We have audited the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets of Eyak Technology, LLC and Subsidiary as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the related Consolidated Statements of Income, Members’ Equity, and Cash Flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2010. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Eyak Technology, LLC and Subsidiary as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2010 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

GTSI CORP.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the Years Ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008
1. NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
A. Nature of Business
GTSI Corp. (collectively with its subsidiaries, “GTSI” or the “Company”) is an IT hardware and solutions provider, focusing on U.S. Federal, state, and local government customers and to prime contractors which are working directly on government contracts. GTSI addresses government technology challenges by providing IT products and solutions, a powerful collection of contracts, dedicated teams of certified professionals, flexible financing options, and ISO 9001:2008 registered global integration and distribution.
To help customers acquire, manage and refresh their technology in a strategic and application-appropriate manner, GTSI has created a mix of hardware, professional and financial services capable of managing and funding the entire technology lifecycle. The Company offers leasing arrangements to allow government agencies to acquire access to technology on an evenly distributed operating expense basis, rather than on the more budget-sensitive and discontinuous capital expense basis. Additionally, GTSI markets and sells products, primarily computer hardware and software, and solutions through its website, www.GTSI.com, providing a convenient, customized shopping experience to meet the unique and changing needs of its customers.
B. Risks and Uncertainties
There are many factors that affect the Company’s business and results of operations and many of such factors are beyond our control, including reliance on a small number of transactions for a significant portion of our sales and gross margins, increased competition, adverse changes in U.S. Federal Government spending, and infrastructure failures that may adversely affect our ability to process orders, track inventory and ship products in a timely manner.
The Company’s compliance with the administrative agreement entered into with the U.S. Small Business Administration (the “SBA Agreement”) and the outcome of the continuing related Federal Government investigations of GTSI, which may result in administrative, civil and criminal penalties, may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and operating performance. Also, the Company’s failure to generate additional sales or reduce operating costs to offset for lost sales due to the restrictions in the SBA Agreement and the administrative costs related to complying with the SBA Agreement may have a material adverse effect on our financial performance.
In May 2009 the Company terminated the Credit Facility and entered into a new $135 million credit agreement with Castle Pines Capital LLC (“CPC”) and other lenders (the “Credit Agreement”). The Credit Agreement provides a “vendor and distributor program” under which we receive financing for inventory purchases from several of our largest CPC approved vendors with extended payment terms. In connection with the SBA Agreement, GTSI entered into an Amended Credit Agreement, dated October 19, 2010, with CPC and other lenders to amend and restate the Credit Agreement (the “Amended Credit Agreement”). The Amended Credit Agreement carries an interest rate indexed at 1-Month LIBOR plus 300 basis points for revolving loan advances and 1-Month LIBOR plus 350 basis points for floor plan loans. The Company relies on the Amended Credit Agreement as the primary vehicle to finance operations. The Amended Credit Agreement imposes financial and informational covenants on the Company. The Company was in compliance with all financial and informational covenants as set forth in the Amended Credit Agreement as of December 31, 2010. See Note 18 “Subsequent Events” for discussion of the extension from May 27, 2011 to May 27, 2012 of the maturity date of the Amended Credit Agreement in respect of CPC’s 74.08% of the total loan commitment thereunder.
While the Company believes that we will remain in compliance with all of the financial and information covenants under the Amended Credit Agreement, there can be no assurance that we will do so. A breach of any of the covenants or restrictions in the Amended Credit Agreement may result in an event of default under the Amended Credit Agreement. Such a default may result in the lenders discontinuing lending or declaring all outstanding borrowings, including inventory financing, to be due and payable. If any of these events occur, we would need to find additional or alternative financing, if available, to refinance any such accelerated obligations. There can be no assurance that such financing would be available.

Table of Contents

C. Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of GTSI and its wholly owned subsidiaries, GTSI Financial Services, Inc., GTSI Professional Services, Inc. and Technology Logistics, Inc. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Investments in entities which the Company does not control but has the ability to exercise significant influence over are accounted for using the equity method of accounting.
D. Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at year end, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from those estimates. Management’s estimates and assumptions are evaluated on an ongoing basis and are based on historical experience, current conditions and available information. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include valuation allowances for receivables and deferred tax assets, accrual of warranties, proportional performance estimates related to open professional service contracts, recoverability of capitalized internal use software, market value of inventory, accruals of liabilities and the fair value of stock options. Cost of sales in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations is based on the direct cost method.
E. New Accounting Pronouncements
In October 2009, the FASB issued amendments to the accounting and disclosure for revenue recognition. These amendments, effective for fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010, modify the criteria for recognizing revenue in multiple element arrangements and the scope of what constitutes a non-software deliverable. The guidance relates to the determination of when the individual deliverables included in a multiple-element arrangement may be treated as separate units of accounting and modifies the manner in which the transaction consideration is allocated across the individual deliverables. Also, the guidance expands the disclosure requirements for revenue arrangements with multiple deliverables. This guidance removes tangible products from the scope of the software revenue guidance if the products contain both software and non-software components that function together to deliver a product’s essential functionality and provides guidance on determining whether software deliverables in an arrangement that includes a tangible product are within the scope of the software revenue guidance. The guidance must be applied as of the beginning of each reporting entity’s first annual reporting period that begins after June 15, 2010, and may be applied retrospectively for all periods presented or prospectively to arrangements entered into or materially modified after the adoption date.
Effective January 1, 2011 the Company adopted on a prospective basis for all new or materially modified arrangements entered into on or after January 1, 2011, the new accounting guidance for multiple-deliverable revenue arrangements and the new guidance related to the scope of existing software revenue recognition guidance. The guidance does not generally change the units of accounting for the Company’s revenue transactions. Most of the Company’s products and services qualify as separate units of accounting. The new guidance changes the level of evidence of standalone selling price required to separate deliverables in a multiple deliverable revenue arrangement by allowing a company to make its best estimate of the selling price (“ESP”) of deliverables when more objective evidence of selling price is not available and eliminates the use of the residual method. The guidance applies to multiple deliverable revenue arrangements that are not accounted for under other accounting pronouncements and retains the use of vendor specific objective evidence of selling price (“VSOE”) if available and third-party evidence of selling price (“TPE”), when VSOE is unavailable. The Company is still evaluating the impact from this adoption and does not expect that it will have a material impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements.
F. Revenue Recognition
GTSI recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of a sale arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, the sales price is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured in accordance with FASB ASC 605-10, Revenue Recognition, Overall (“ASC 605-10”).
The Company recognizes software revenue pursuant to the requirements of FASB ASC 985-25, Software Revenue Recognition (“ASC 985-25”). In accordance with ASC 985-25, the Company recognizes software related revenue from re-selling third party software licenses that do not require significant production, modification or customization, when persuasive evidence of a sale arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, the sales price is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured.

The Company enters into revenue arrangements that may consist of multiple deliverables of its products and services based on the needs of its clients. These arrangements may include any combination of hardware, software, services and/or financing.
The new guidance changes the level of evidence of standalone selling price required to separate deliverables in a multiple deliverable revenue arrangement by allowing a company to make its best estimate of the selling price (“ESP”) of deliverables when more objective evidence of selling price is not available and eliminates the use of the residual method. The guidance applies to multiple deliverable revenue arrangements that are not accounted for under other accounting pronouncements and retains the use of vendor specific objective evidence of selling price (“VSOE”) if available and third-party evidence of selling price (“TPE”), when VSOE is unavailable.
When a customer order contains multiple items such as hardware, software and services which are delivered at varying times, the Company determines whether the delivered items can be considered separate units of accounting as prescribed under FASB ASC 605-25, Revenue Recognition, Multiple-Element Arrangements (“ASC 605-25”). ASC 605-25 states that delivered items should be considered separate units of accounting if delivered items have value to the customer on a standalone basis and if delivery of undelivered items is probable and substantially in GTSI’s control.
Generally, the Company is able to establish fair value for all elements of the arrangement. In these instances, revenue is recognized on each element separately. However, if the delivered items do not have stand alone value to the customer without additional services provided, the Company recognizes revenue on the contract as a single unit of accounting, based on either the completed-contract or proportional-performance methods as described below. The Company allocated revenue from multiple-element arrangements to the multiple elements based on the relative fair value of each element, which was generally based on the relative sales price of each element when sold separately.
In most cases, revenue from hardware and software product sales is recognized when title passes to the customer. Based upon the Company’s standard shipping terms, FOB destination, title passes upon delivery of the products to the customer. However, occasionally GTSI’s customers will request bill-and-hold transactions in situations where the customer does not have space available to receive products or is not able to immediately take possession of products for other reasons, in which case GTSI will store the purchased equipment in its distribution center. Under ASC 605-10, the Company only recognizes revenue for bill-and-hold transactions when the goods are complete and ready for shipment, title and risk of loss have passed to the customer, management receives a written request from the customer for bill-and-hold treatment, and the ordered goods are segregated in GTSI’s warehouse from other inventory and cannot be used to fulfill other customer orders.
Revenue is recognized on service contracts using either the completed-performance or proportional-performance method depending on the terms of the service agreement. When there are acceptance provisions based on customer-specified subjective criteria, the completed-performance method is used. For contracts where the services performed in the last series of acts is very significant, in relation to the entire contract, performance is not deemed to have occurred until the final act is completed. Once customer acceptance has been received, or the last significant act is performed, revenue is recognized. The Company uses the proportional-performance method when a service contract specifies a number of acts to be performed and the Company has the ability to determine the pattern in which service is provided to the customer.
In many contracts, billing terms are agreed upon based on performance milestones such as the execution of a contract, the customer’s acceptance of the equipment and/or vendor for products, the partial or complete delivery of products and/or the completion of specified services. Payments received before delivery has occurred or services have been rendered are recorded as deferred revenue until the revenue recognition criteria are met. Deferred revenue from extended warranty contracts is recognized over the terms of the extended warranty.
The Company sells products to certain customers under sales-type lease arrangements for terms typically ranging from two to four years. The Company accounts for its sales-type leases according to the provisions of FASB ASC 840, Leases (“ASC 840”), and, accordingly, recognizes current and long-term lease receivables, net of unearned income, on the accompanying balance sheets. The present value of all payments is recorded as sales and the related cost of the equipment is charged to cost of sales. The associated interest is recorded over the term of the lease using the effective interest method.

In many cases, GTSI transfers these receivables to various unrelated financing companies and accounts for the transfers in accordance with FASB ASC 860, Transfers and Servicing (“ASC 860”). The transfer of receivables in which GTSI surrenders control is accounted for as a sale. To surrender control, the assets must be isolated from the Company, the transferee has the right to pledge or exchange the receivables and GTSI must not have an agreement that entitles and obligates the Company to repurchase the receivables or the ability to unilaterally cause the holder to return specific assets. If the transfer of receivables does not meet the criteria for a sale under ASC 860, the transfer is accounted for as a secured borrowing with a pledge of collateral. As a result, the Company has recorded certain transferred receivables and secured borrowings, within accounts receivable and long-term financing receivables, and as financed lease debt on the balance sheet.
The Company may also enter into sales arrangements with customers where the Company performs as an agent or broker without assuming the risks and rewards of ownership of the goods and services. The Company recognizes revenue from these transactions on a net basis in accordance with FASB ASC 605-45, Revenue Recognition, Principal Agent Considerations (“ASC 605-45”). The Company sells services performed by third parties, such as maintenance contracts, and recognizes revenue on a net basis at the time of sale.
GTSI offers rights of return to its customers on the products it sells. In accordance with FASB ASC 605-15, Revenue Recognition, Product (“ASC 605-15”), the Company records a sales return allowance based on historical trends in product return rates. The allowance for future sales returns as of December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009 was $0.6 million and $0.7 million, respectively, and was recorded as a reduction of accounts receivable, net. The estimated cost of sales of $0.6 million and $0.6 million related to these sales were also deferred and recorded on the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively, as deferred costs.
In accordance with FASB ASC 605-50, Revenue Recognition, Customer Payments and Incentives (“ASC 605-50”), the Company records cash received from a vendor as a reduction of inventory and a subsequent reduction in cost of sales, unless the cash is a reimbursement of a specific, identifiable, incremental cost related to selling the vendor’s product or the vendor receives, or will receive, an identifiable benefit in exchange for the cash.
We record vendor rebates received under its vendor incentive programs pursuant to a binding arrangement as a reduction of cost of sales based on a systematic and rational allocation that results in progress by the Company toward earning the rebate provided the amounts are probable and reasonably estimable. If the rebate is not probable and reasonably estimable, it is recognized as the milestones are achieved. In accordance with FASB ASC 605-45, Revenue Recognition, Principal Agent Considerations (“ASC 605-45”), the Company records freight billed to customers as sales and the related shipping costs as cost of sales.
In accordance with ASC 605-45, the Company collects and remits sales and property taxes on products and services that it purchases and sells under its contracts with customers, and reports such amounts under the net method in its consolidated statements of operations.
We capitalize and amortize costs that are directly related to the acquisition of a long-term contract and that would have not been incurred but for the acquisition of that contract (incremental direct acquisition costs). As long-term contracts are awarded the related up-front incentive costs, which are specific incremental costs associated with the acquisition of long-term contracts, are recorded as prepaid/deferred assets and amortized over the term of the contract or five years, whichever is shorter as a component of selling, general and administrative expenses.
G. Cash
Cash consists of all cash balances held in bank accounts at the end of the year. The Company places its temporary cash investments with high credit quality financial institutions. At times such investments may be in excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) insurance limit. Management monitors balances in excess of insured limits and believes they do not represent a significant credit risk to the Company.

H. Concentration of Credit Risk
Accounts receivable principally represents amounts collectible from the U.S. Federal, state and local governments and prime contractors that are working directly on government contracts. The Company periodically performs credit evaluations of its non-governmental customers and generally does not require collateral. As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, trade accounts receivable from the U.S. Federal Government were $64.3 million or 61.6% and $103.9 million or 73.4%, respectively. The Department of Defense accounted for 29.8% and 36.9% of total trade accounts receivable as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. One Federal agency and one prime contractor accounted for 12.2% and 10.7%, respectively, of total trade accounts receivable as of December 31, 2010. No other single U.S. Federal Government department, agency or prime contractor accounted for 10% or more of accounts receivable. Credit losses have been insignificant.
I. Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
The Company’s accounts receivable balances are net of an estimated allowance for doubtful accounts. The allowance for doubtful accounts is based on a specific identification of probable losses and an analysis of historical trade receivable write-offs. These estimates may differ from actual collection experience and are subject to adjustment. Therefore, the valuation reserve is re-evaluated quarterly and adjusted as information about the ultimate collectability of accounts receivable becomes available.
J. Software Development Costs
The Company capitalizes the cost of internally developed software that has a useful life in excess of one year in accordance with FASB ASC 350-40, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other Internal-Use Software (“ASC 350-40”). These costs consist of the fees paid to consultants and the salaries of employees working on such software development to customize it to the Company’s needs as well as any third party hardware/software purchases specific to development. Costs incurred in connection with the development of upgrades or enhancements that result in additional functionality are also capitalized and amortized over the useful life of the software once the enhancements are implemented. Software maintenance and training costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred.
K. Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
Long-lived assets, consisting primarily of furniture, equipment and capitalized internal use software costs, are tested for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amount may not be recoverable in accordance with FASB ASC 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment, (“ASC 360”). Recoverability of long-lived assets is assessed by a comparison of the carrying amount to the estimated future net cash flows expected to result from the use of the assets and their eventual disposition. If estimated undiscounted future net cash flows are less than the carrying amount, the asset is considered impaired and a loss would be recognized based on the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the asset.
L. Accounts Payable
The Company purchases significant amounts of inventory each year and records an estimate of the payable based on the purchases as of the balance sheet date. As invoices are received, the Company records adjustments for actual prices paid.
M. Stock-based Compensation
On January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions of FASB ASC 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation, (“ASC 718”), using the modified-prospective transition method. Under this method, compensation cost recognized in the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008 includes: (a) compensation cost for all share-based payments granted prior to, but not yet vested as of January 1, 2006, based on the grant date fair value estimated and (b) compensation cost for all share-based payments granted subsequent to January 1, 2006, based on the grant-date fair value estimated.
Stock-based compensation expense for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009, 2008 was $1.7 million, $2.4 million and $2.9 million, respectively. ASC 718 requires the cash flows from the tax benefits resulting from tax deductions in excess of the compensation cost recognized for those share based awards (“tax windfalls”) to be classified as financing cash flows. For the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, the tax impact from stock based compensation was a tax benefit of $0.7 million, $0.8 million and $1.1 million, respectively.

N. Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with FASB ASC 740, Income Taxes, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. ASC 740 requires that a valuation allowance be established when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of a deferred tax asset will not be realized. For the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, a tax provision of $1.1 million and $4.2 million, respectively, was recorded.
O. Advertising
The costs of advertising are expensed as incurred.
P. Fair Value of Financial Instruments
At December 31, 2010 and 2009, the recorded values of financial instruments such as trade receivables, accounts payable and Credit Facility borrowings approximated their fair values based on the short-term maturities of these instruments. As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company believes the carrying amount of its current and long-term lease receivables and financed lease debt approximate their fair value.
Q. Equity Investments
Investments in joint ventures and entities over which the Company exercises significant influence but not control are accounted for using the equity method as prescribed by FASB ASC 323-30, Investments — Equity Method and Joint Ventures, Partnerships, Joint Ventures, and Limited Liability Entities, (“ASC 323-30”). Under this method of accounting, which generally applies to investments that represent a 20% to 50% ownership of the equity securities of the entities, the Company’s share of the net earnings or losses of the affiliated entities is included in other income and expenses.
R. Comprehensive Income
For the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively, the Company had no components to adjust Net Income to reportable Comprehensive Income.
2. Accounts Receivable

4. Lease and Finance Receivables
The Company leases computer hardware to customers generally under sales-type leases, which are classified as lease receivables in the accompanying audited Consolidated Balance Sheets, in accordance with FASB ASC 840 Leases. In connection with those leases, the Company may sell related services, software and maintenance to its customers, which are classified as finance receivables in the accompanying audited Consolidated Balance Sheets. The terms of the receivables from the sale of these related services are often similar to the terms of the leases of computer hardware; that is, receivables are interest bearing and are often due over a period of time that corresponds with the terms of the leased computer hardware.
The Company recognized revenue of $68.2 million, $99.5 million and $85.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively, from sales-type leases and related transactions. As of December 31, 2010, the Company had current and long-term outstanding lease and finance receivables of $29.1 million, compared with $63.3 million as of December 31, 2009.
As a result of the SBA Agreement, certain multiyear financing agreements were modified or terminated, which resulted in a $4.6 million write-off of net financing receivables. In addition, some other multiyear financing agreements were restructured to become due within the next 12 months, resulting in a $22.0 million decrease in accounts receivable and long-term receivables along with a corresponding $22.0 million decrease in accrued liabilities and other liabilities.

5. Transferred Receivables and Financed Lease Debt
The Company transferred gross financing receivables of $58.1 million and $69.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, to third parties that meet the sale criteria under FASB ASC 860, Transfers and Servicing. In exchange, for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company received cash of $55.1 million and $64.5 million and recorded a profit on the sales of $5.5 million and $6.5 million, respectively. The receivables are transferred non-recourse to third parties who accept all credit, interest, and termination risk from the underlying issuer. Continuing involvement with the transferred assets is limited only to billing and remitting payments on behalf of some third parties at the specific direction of the third parties.
6. Inventory
Inventory (composed of finished goods) is valued at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using the average cost method. The Company writes down its inventory for obsolete or excess inventory based on assumptions about future demand and market conditions. For the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, there were no significant charges recorded for obsolete or excess inventory.
7. Depreciable Assets
Depreciable assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization are calculated using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives. Furniture and equipment useful lives range from three to ten years. Purchased and developed computer software for internal use, including the GTSI Enterprise Resource Management System (“GEMS”), are amortized over expected lives ranging from three to seven years. The useful life for leasehold improvements is the lesser of the term of the lease or the life of the improvement, which range from three to ten years. Costs for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense when incurred. Depreciable assets consist of the following as of December 31 (in thousands):
                 
    2010     2009  
Office furniture and equipment
  $ 7,469     $ 7,421  
Purchased software for internal use
    2,262       2,250  
Internally developed software
    16,693       16,730  
Leasehold improvements
    1,377       1,268  
 
           
 
    27,801       27,669

    (20,349 )     (16,709 )
 
           
Depreciable assets, net
  $ 7,452     $ 10,960  
 
           
Depreciation expense, including amortization of capitalized software development costs, was $3.8 million, $3.9 million and $3.4 million for the years ended 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Amortization of software costs was $2.9 million in 2010, $2.8 million in 2009 and $2.6 million in 2008. During 2010 and 2009, the Company capitalized $0.3 million and $0.9 million, respectively, of development costs related to GEMS. In addition, during both 2010 and 2009, the Company capitalized less than $0.1 million of purchased software for internal use. The total net book value of capitalized software development costs was $4.8 million and $7.6 million as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
For years ended December 31, 2010 and 2008, the Company had an impairment loss, related to internally developed software, of $0.2 million and $0.1 million, respectively, under FASB ASC 360, Property, Plant & Equipment. There were no indicators of impairment under FASB ASC 360 during 2009.
There were no significant retirements or disposals of fully depreciated assets and related accumulated depreciation during 2010. During 2009, the Company retired or disposed or a total of $15.1 million of depreciable assets and $15.1 million of related accumulated depreciation.

8. Credit Facility, Credit Agreement and Amended Credit Agreement
In 2006, the Company entered into a $135 million credit agreement with a group of lenders (the “Credit Facility”). This Credit Facility was terminated on May 27, 2009 and the related unamortized deferred financing costs of $1.5 million were written-off.
On May 27, 2009, we entered into a $135 million credit agreement with Castle Pines Capital LLC (“CPC”) and other lenders (the “Credit Agreement”). The Credit Agreement provides a “vendor and distributor program” under which we receive financing for inventory purchases from several of our largest CPC approved vendors with extended payment terms.
On October 1, 2010, GTSI received a notice from the SBA that GTSI was temporarily suspended from any future Federal Government contracting. On October 19, 2010, GTSI entered into the SBA Agreement, which among other things, terminated GTSI’s temporary suspension from Federal Government contracting.
In connection with the SBA Agreement, GTSI entered into the Amended Credit Agreement, dated as of October 19, 2010, with its lenders to amend the Credit Agreement by reducing the total facility limit from an aggregate principal amount of $135 million to $100 million and the aggregate revolving loan facility limit from $60 million to $45 million. The Amended Credit Agreement carries an interest rate indexed at 1-Month LIBOR plus 300 basis points for revolving loan advances and 1-Month LIBOR plus 350 basis points for floor plan loans. Borrowing under the Amended Credit Agreement at any time is limited to the lesser of (a) $100 million or (b) a collateral-based borrowing base (eligible accounts receivable and inventory balances) less outstanding obligations relating to any borrowings, floor plan loans and stand-by letters of credits. Further, the Amended Credit Agreement prohibits GTSI from purchasing any of its common stock.
As of December 31, 2010, borrowing capacity and availability under the Amended Credit Agreement was as follows (in thousands):
         
Total Amended and Restated Agreement
  $ 100,000  
Borrowing base limitation
    (9,839 )
 
     
Total borrowing capacity
    90,161  
Less: interest-bearing borrowings
     
Less: non-interest bearing advances (floor plan loans)
    (35,172 )
Less: letters of credit
    (5,114 )
 
     
Total unused availability
  $ 49,875  
 
     
As of December 31, 2010, the Company had no outstanding loan balance (other than non-interest bearing floor plan loans) under the Amended Credit Agreement and as reflected above, available credit thereunder of $49.9 million.
The Amended Credit Agreement contains customary covenants limiting our ability to, among other things (a) incur debt; (b) make guarantees or grant or suffer liens; (c) repurchase our common stock, (d) make certain restricted payments (including cash dividends), purchase other businesses or investments; (e) enter into transactions with affiliates; (f) dissolve, change names, merge or enter into certain other material agreement regarding changes to the corporate entities; (g) acquire real estate; and (h) enter into sales and leaseback transactions.
The financial covenants of the Amended Credit Agreement require us, among other restrictions, to:
    Maintain Tangible Net Worth not less than or equal to $45 million as of the end of each fiscal month
    Maintain Ratio of Total Liabilities to Tangible Net Worth not greater than 5.25 to 1.00 as of the end of each fiscal month
    Maintain Current Ratio not less than (i) 1.20 to 1.00 as of the last business day of the fiscal months of January, February, March, April, May, June, October, November and December and (ii) 1.15 to 1.00 as of the last business day of the fiscal months of July, August and September
    Maintain minimum Total Debt Service Coverage Ratio of 1.25 to 1.00 as of the end of each fiscal month

Table of Contents

The Amended Credit Agreement provides, as did the Credit Agreement, that the existence of a material proceeding against the Company or the Company’s failure to be in compliance with all material laws constitutes an event of default under the agreement. Furthermore, the Amended Credit Agreement contains information covenants requiring the Company to provide the lenders certain information. The Company was in compliance with all financial and informational covenants as set forth in the Amended Credit Agreement as of December 31, 2010. If the Company fails to comply with any material provision or covenant of our Amended Credit Agreement, it would be required to seek a waiver or amendment of covenants.
The Company currently relies on its Amended Credit Agreement as its primary vehicle to finance its operations. See Note 18 “Subsequent Events” for discussion of the extension from May 27, 2011 to May 27, 2012 of the maturity date of the Amended Credit Agreement in respect of CPC’s 74.08% of the total loan commitment thereunder.
The Company defers loan financing costs and recognizes these costs throughout the term of the loans. The Company deferred $0.1 million of loan financing costs related to the Credit Agreement during the second quarter of 2009. Deferred financing costs as of December 31, 2010 and 2009 were less than $0.1 million and $0.1 million, respectively.

10. Stockholders’ Equity
Purchase of Capital Stock
On June 8, 2009, the Board authorized a program for periodic purchases of common stock through May 27, 2011 for an aggregate purchase price not to exceed $5 million, replacing the stock repurchase program announced in December 2008.
In 2010, under its repurchase program, the Company purchased 154,377 shares of its common stock through the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and throughout the year acquired 20,816 shares of its common stock related to net share settlements to cover tax withholdings. Under the Amended Credit Agreement the Company is prohibited from purchasing its common stock. In 2009, under its repurchase program, the Company purchased 122,329 shares of its common stock throughout the year and in April 2009, the Company purchased 316,861 shares from one seller in a private transaction. In addition, the Company acquired 23,905 shares of its common stock related to net share settlements to cover tax withholdings. The Company did not purchase any of its common stock in 2008, except for 24,041 shares acquired through net share settlements to cover tax withholdings.
Stock-Based Compensation
Stock Incentive Plans
The Company has one stockholder approved combination incentive and non-statutory stock incentive plan, which is named the Amended and Restated 2007 Stock Incentive Plan (“2007 Plan”). The 2007 Plan provides for the granting of options to employees and non-employee directors to purchase up to 4,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. The 2007 Plan also permits the grant of restricted stock and restricted stock units to its employees and non-employee directors as well as stock appreciation rights (“SARs”).
Under the 2007 Plan, options have a term of up to ten years, generally vest over four years and option prices are required to be at not less than 100% of the fair market value of the Company’s common stock at the date of grant and, except in the case of non-employee directors, must be approved by the Board of Directors or its Compensation Committee. The vesting period for restricted stock and restricted stock units is determined by the Compensation Committee on an individual award basis. GTSI recognizes stock-based compensation expense for these graded vesting awards on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for the entire award, which is equal to the vesting period specified in the option agreement.

Table of Contents

Valuation Assumptions
The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using a Black-Scholes-Merton option valuation model that uses the assumptions noted in the following table. Expected volatilities are based on the historical volatility of GTSI’s stock over the historical period of time equal to the expected term of the options. The Company uses historical data to estimate option exercises, employee terminations and award forfeitures within the valuation model. The expected term of options granted has been determined based on historical exercise behavior and represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury rates at the time of grant that approximates the expected term of the option. The expected dividend assumption is zero as the Company is currently restricted under its Amended Credit Agreement from issuing dividends on its common stock and it does not expect to declare a dividend in the foreseeable future. The fair value of the Company’s stock based option awards to employees was based on the following weighted-average assumptions for the years ended December 31:
                         
    2010     2009     2008  
Expected volatility
    51.0 %     51.0 %     48.3 %

Restricted Shares
In 2010, the Company issued restricted stock grants of 26,664 shares of the Company’s common stock to the non-employee Board members, which will vest in April 2011, and no shares of restricted stock to employees. During 2009, the Company issued restricted stock grants of 26,664 shares of the Company’s common stock to the non-employee Board members, which vested in April 2010, as well as 36,539 shares of restricted stock to employees, scheduled to vest in equal installments over a period of five years from the grant date. During 2008, the Company issued restricted stock grants of 26,664 shares of the Company’s common stock to the non-employee Board members, which vested in April 2009, as well as 17,821 shares of restricted stock to employees that will vest in equal installments over a period of five years from the grant date. Compensation is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period of the grants. During 2010, 2009 and 2008, $0.6 million, $0.8 million and $1.1 million, respectively, was recorded as stock compensation expense for restricted stock.
Holders of non-vested restricted stock have similar dividend and voting rights as common stockholders.

During 2009, approximately 361,795 stock option and SAR awards and 101,035 restricted stock awards vested.
Employee Stock Purchase Plan
Under GTSI’s Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”), eligible employees may elect to set aside, through payroll deduction, up to 15% of their compensation to purchase Company common stock at 85% of the fair market value of shares of common stock on the last day of the offering period. The maximum number of shares that an eligible employee may purchase during any offering period is equal to 5% of such employee’s compensation for the 12 calendar-month period prior to the commencement of an offering period divided by 95% of the fair market value of a share of common stock on the first day of the offering period. The ESPP is implemented through one offering during each six-month period beginning January 1 and July 1. Prior to July 1, 2008, the ESPP purchase price was 95% of the fair market value of a share of common stock on the last day of the offering period. No other material changes were made to the plan. The Company uses its treasury shares to fulfill the obligation of both the employee withholding and the discount.

The weighted average fair market value of shares under the ESPP was $4.40 in 2010, $4.37 in 2009 and $5.69 in 2008. GTSI has reserved 1,600,000 shares of common stock for the ESPP, of which 490,536 were available for future issuance as of December 31, 2010.
Stockholder Rights Plan
On September 13, 2010, the Company’s Board of Directors adopted a stockholder rights plan (the “Rights Plan”). The Rights Plan is set forth in the Rights Agreement dated as of September 14, 2010 (the “Rights Agreement”) between the Company and American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC (the “Rights Agent”). In connection with the Rights Plan, the Company declared a dividend of one preferred share purchase right (individually, a “Right” and collectively, the “Rights”) for each share of outstanding common stock of the Company at the close of business on September 24, 2010. If the Rights become exercisable, each Right will entitle the registered holder thereof, until September 12, 2011 (or the earlier redemption, exchange or termination of the Rights), to purchase from the Company one one-thousandth (1/1000th) of a share of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock, par value $0.25 per share (the “Preferred Stock”), of the Company, at a price of $20.00 per one one-thousandth (1/1000th) of a share of Preferred Stock, subject to certain anti-dilution adjustments.
The Rights are not immediately exercisable. The Rights will initially trade only with the Company’s common stock to which they are attached, and generally become exercisable only if a person or group becomes an Acquiring Person (as defined in the Rights Agreement) by accumulating beneficial ownership (as defined in the Rights Agreement) of 20% or more of the Company’s outstanding common stock. If a person becomes an Acquiring Person, the holders of each Right (other than an Acquiring Person) are entitled, after the tenth business day, to purchase shares of the Company’s preferred stock at the exercise price of the Right, which is initially $20.00 per Right. The Rights Agreement provides that a person or group currently owning 20% or more of the Company’s outstanding common stock will not be deemed to be an Acquiring Person if the person or group does not subsequently accumulate an additional 1% of the Company’s outstanding common stock through open market purchases, expansion of the group or other means. The Rights, which only become exercisable after a person becomes an Acquiring Person, have no objective value at this time. If the Rights become exercisable, any objective determinable value of the Rights would be accounted for with a charge to retained earnings and a credit to paid-in capital.
At any time prior to a person becoming an Acquiring Person, the Company’s Board of Directors may cause the Company to redeem the Rights in whole, but not in part, at a price of $0.01 per Right. The Rights will expire on September 12, 2011 (unless earlier redeemed, exchanged or terminated).
11. Related Party Transactions
In 2002, GTSI made a $0.4 million investment in Eyak Technology, LLC (“EyakTek”), and assumed a 37% ownership of EyakTek. GTSI is also entitled to have a designee on EyakTek’s Board of Directors under EyakTek’s operating agreement. See Note 15 “Commitments and Contingencies” for discussion of the Company’s legal proceedings regarding EyakTek and certain related matters. GTSI’s investment in EyakTek is accounted for under the equity method and adjusted for earnings or losses as reported in the financial statements of EyakTek and dividends received from EyakTek. At December 31, 2010 and 2009, the investment balance for EyakTek was $10.6 million and $8.0 million, respectively, and equity in earnings was $7.9 million and $8.3 million, respectively. The Company recognized sales to EyakTek of $47.6 million, $21.9 million, and $23.2 million during 2010, 2009 and 2008 and receivables have been recorded by the Company totaling $10.6 million and $14.7 million as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. GTSI also receives a fee from EyakTek based on sales from products sold at cost by GTSI to EyakTek and fees recognized by the Company during 2010, 2009 and 2008 are $0.2 million, $0.3 million and $1.4 million, respectively, which are included in sales in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. The amounts due are included in accounts receivable totaling $0.1 million and $0.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

12. (Loss) Earnings Per Share
Basic (loss) earnings per share are calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average shares outstanding during the period, which includes shares of restricted stock that are fully vested. Diluted (loss) earnings per share are computed similarly to basic (loss) earnings per share, except that the weighted average shares outstanding are increased to include equivalents, when their effect is dilutive. In periods of net loss, all potentially dilutive shares are considered anti-dilutive and are excluded from the calculation.

Tax Uncertainties
Effective January 1, 2007, the Company adopted the provisions of FASB ASC 740, Income Taxes, (“ASC 740”), which applies to all tax positions related to income taxes subject to ASC 740. ASC 740 requires a new evaluation process for all tax positions taken. ASC 740 clarifies accounting for income taxes by prescribing a minimum probability threshold that a tax position must meet before a financial statement benefit is recognized. If the probability for sustaining a tax position is greater than 50%, then the tax position is warranted and recognition should be at the highest amount which would be expected to be realized upon ultimate settlement.
GTSI is subject to U.S. Federal income tax as well as income tax of multiple states and local jurisdictions. The consolidated U.S. Federal income tax return is closed for all tax years up to and including 2005 and the statute of limitations is closed through 2003. Currently, no state income tax returns are under examination.
The Company’s tax reserves relate to state nexus issues and the state impact of IRS audit adjustments for the 2003 through 2005 tax years. With each year the Company’s tax exposure rolls forward with incremental increases expected based on continued accrual of interest. The Company’s tax liability for unrecognized tax benefits are as follows as of December 31 (in thousands):
                         
    2010     2009     2008  
Balance at beginning of the year
  $ 157     $ 197     $ 236  
Additions for prior year tax positions
    20       5       (21 )
Reductions for settlements
          (2 )     (2 )
Lapses in statute of limitations
    (70 )     (43 )     (16 )
 
                 
Balance at end of the year
  $ 107     $ 157     $ 197  
 
                 
GTSI’s practice is to recognize interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense. The Company had less than $0.1 million accrued for interest and less than $0.1 million accrued for penalties as of December 31, 2010. The Company has less than $0.1 million accrued for interest and less than $0.1 million accrued for penalties as of December 31, 2009. During the year, accrued interest and accrued penalties both decreased by less than $0.1 million due primarily to the settlement and payment of assessed liabilities. Interest will continue to accrue on certain issues in 2011 and beyond.
It is not anticipated that any increase or decrease during the next 12 months in the amount of unrecognized tax benefits will be material. Further, it is anticipated that the effective tax rate impact of any unrecognized tax benefits will be immaterial.

14. 401(k) Plan
GTSI maintains the Employees’ 401(k) Investment Plan (the “401(k) Plan”), a savings and investment plan intended to be qualified under Section 401 of the Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”). All Company employees who are at least 21 years of age are eligible to participate. The 401(k) Plan is voluntary and allows participating employees to make pretax contributions, subject to limitations under IRC, of a percentage (not to exceed 30%) of their total compensation. New hires are automatically enrolled in the 401(k) Plan at a 3% deferral rate unless the new hire opts out or selects to increase or decrease their deferral percentage. Employee contributions are fully vested at all times. GTSI contributions vest at 20% over five years. GTSI matches employee contributions 50% of the first five percent of eligible pay. In 2010, 2009 and 2008, the Company contributed approximately $1.0 million, $1.2 million and $1.1 million to the Plan, respectively.
15. Commitments and Contingencies
Product Warranties
GTSI offers extended warranties on certain products which are generally covered for three or five years beyond the warranty provided by the manufacturer. Products under extended warranty require repair or replacement of defective parts at no cost to the customer. The Company records warranty liabilities at the time of sale for the estimated costs that may be incurred under its extended warranty contracts. The following table summarizes the activity related to product warranty liabilities for the years ended December 31 (in thousands):

The Company conducts its operations from leased real properties, which include offices and a warehouse. These obligations expire at various dates between 2011 and 2019. In December 2007, the Company executed a lease for a new corporate headquarters. The Company relocated to its new location in November 2008, which has a number of lease options for current and future space commitments under its 10-year term. This lease expires in 2019. Most of the leases contain renewal options at inception, some of which have been exercised, as well as escalation clauses, which are recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. No leases contain purchase options or restrictions of the Company’s activities concerning dividends, additional debt, or further leasing. Rent expense for 2010, 2009 and 2008 was approximately $4.7 million, $4.9 million and $3.2 million, respectively.

Legal Proceedings
Contingencies
On October 1, 2010, GTSI received notice from the SBA that GTSI was temporarily suspended from any future Federal Government contracting. The suspension notice cited that it was based on alleged evidence of the commission of fraud or a criminal offense in connection with GTSI obtaining, attempting to obtain and performing certain subcontracts with small businesses in 2007 and a lack of business integrity or business honesty that seriously or directly affected the present responsibility of GTSI as a government contractor. On October 19, 2010, GTSI entered into an administrative agreement with the SBA (the “SBA Agreement”) pursuant to which the SBA lifted the temporary federal contract suspension it had imposed on GTSI. As a result, GTSI is, subject to the SBA Agreement, engaged in its business with most of its existing clients and pursuing new Federal Government contracts.
Pursuant to the SBA Agreement, GTSI agreed that it will not obtain or attempt to obtain any new Federal Government contracts, subcontracts or any business, which in any capacity, whether directly or indirectly is intended to benefit small businesses, including task orders and options on existing contracts. This includes benefits in circumstances involving small businesses serving as prime contractors, joint ventures with small businesses and participating in the SBA’s mentor-protégé program. As also required by the SBA Agreement, GTSI has retained Debarment Solutions Institute, LLC, a SBA-approved monitor, to report regularly to the SBA on GTSI’s compliance with the SBA Agreement and applicable Federal Government contracting laws and regulations. The SBA Agreement will terminate on the earlier of (a) October 19, 2013, (b) the 90th day after the SBA’s Office of Inspector General’s notification of the completion of its continuing investigation of GTSI, or (c) the notification date of any proposed debarment of GTSI by the SBA.
In connection with the SBA Agreement, GTSI accepted the voluntary resignations of its Chief Executive Officer, and a Senior Vice President and General Counsel of GTSI, both effective as of October 26, 2010. In connection with their voluntary resignations the Company entered into separation agreements with the resigning officers. GTSI also suspended three other employees, who subsequently resigned. GTSI has conducted a review of its business ethics program that covers all employees and created a position and designated an employee as GTSI’s ethics officer, who is responsible for managing GTSI’s business ethics program. At least once each year, GTSI will conduct an internal audit of its business practices, procedures, policies and internal controls for compliance with the SBA Agreement, GTSI’s code of business ethics and the special requirements regarding government contracting and report the results of such audit to the SBA and Debarment Solutions Institute, LLC.

The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Virginia is reviewing the same subject matter that led to the SBA temporary suspension of GTSI from Federal Government contracting and the resulting SBA Agreement. GTSI has provided information in response to that inquiry.
GTSI will continue to cooperate with the continuing investigations of GTSI’s conduct as a subcontractor for certain small businesses. The continuing investigations of GTSI by the Federal Government may result in administrative, civil or criminal penalties, including a recommendation that may adversely affect or terminate GTSI’s ability to serve as a government contractor.
According to a number of public announcements, several law firms are investigating, on behalf of purchasers of the GTSI common stock, potential violations of the federal securities laws by GTSI with a focus on whether statements regarding GTSI’s business, prospects and operations were materially false and misleading when they were made. These press releases also stated the investigations were based on the SBA accusations that GTSI obtained government contracts not available to GTSI due to its size. The press releases also encouraged any person who invested in GTSI common stock between January 1, 2007 and October 1, 2010 to contact the law firms.
Legal Proceedings
By letter dated May 24, 2010 the SBA advised EyakTek that its request for a voluntary early graduation from the SBA’s Business Development Program under Section 8(a) of the Small Business Act (“Section 8(a) BD Program”) was approved, effective May 10, 2010. EyakTek’s Operating Agreement provides that EyakTek shall dissolve and commence winding up and liquidating upon its graduation from the Section 8(a) BD Program, unless EyakTek’s members by an affirmative vote of at least 65% of the membership interests decide to continue EyakTek’s business operations. While GTSI has not voted its 37% EyakTek membership interests to continue EyakTek’s business operations, such operations have continued since EyakTek’s graduation from the Section 8(a) BD Program.
In September 2010, GTSI filed a complaint in the Chancery Court of Delaware against EyakTek; two of EyakTek’s three owner/members—The Eyak Corporation (“Eyak Corp.”), which owns 51% of EyakTek, and Global Technology LLC, which owns 12% of EyakTek, (collectively, the “Member Defendants”); and several of EyakTek’s directors and officers (the “Individual Defendants”). GTSI is the third member of EyakTek, as noted above GTSI owns 37% of EyakTek. GTSI’s complaint alleged that EyakTek and the Member Defendants had breached EyakTek’s Operating Agreement by taking certain actions without GTSI’s approval, which is required under the Operating Agreement, including actions leading to the making of an unsolicited offer to acquire GTSI and the continuation of the business operations of EyakTek after its graduation from the Section 8(a) BD Program. The complaint further alleged that the Individual Defendants had breached their fiduciary duties and the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing by allowing EyakTek to take these actions. The complaint requested declaratory and injunctive relief, plus attorneys’ fees, against all of the defendants. On November 3, 2010, GTSI filed an amended complaint in the Chancery Court, which clarified the nature of relief sought and added an additional claim for breach of EyakTek’s Operating Agreement based upon EyakTek’s refusal to recognize GTSI’s designated director to EyakTek’s board of directors, among other matters.
In September 2010, EyakTek, the Member Defendants and Individual Defendants filed an arbitration demand with the American Arbitration Association asserting that GTSI’s claims in the Delaware Chancery Court are subject to arbitration under EyakTek’s Operating Agreement. The arbitration demand also asserted that GTSI’s filing of the Delaware complaint violated EyakTek’s Operating Agreement and constituted a breach of fiduciary duty and the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing that GTSI allegedly owes to EyakTek as an EyakTek member. The arbitration demand seeks declaratory relief, damages, and attorneys’ fees against GTSI.
GTSI filed a motion in the Delaware Chancery Court to dismiss or stay the above-referenced arbitration. EyakTek, the Member Defendants and Individual Defendants filed a motion to dismiss or stay GTSI’s lawsuit. The Delaware Chancery Court heard both sets of motions in November 2010 and subsequently, based primarily on its interpretation of the arbitration provision of EyakTek’s Operating Agreement, determined that the arbitrator and not the court must decide whether the matter is to proceed in court or in arbitration. Thus, the court granted the defendants’ request to stay GTSI’s lawsuit. GTSI’s appeal of such decision was not successful.

Table of Contents

Thereafter, GTSI submitted before the above-referenced arbitrator claims against and request for relief from EyakTek, the Member Defendants and Individual Defendants similar to GTSI’s above-referenced claims and request for relief denied by the Delaware Chancery Court. In addition, GTSI requested the arbitrator to enforce the above-referenced provisions of EyakTek’s Operating Agreement requiring the dissolution of EyakTek because of its graduation from Section 8(a) BD Program. While the outcome of these continuing disputes with EyakTek, the Member Defendants and Individual Defendants is currently unknown, such outcome may include a buyout of GTSI’s ownership in EyakTek, the dissolution of EyakTek, the continuation of EyakTek under its current Operating Agreement or under a modified Operating Agreement or some other alternative agreed upon by the various parties involved or ruled by the arbitrator.
By letter dated November 1, 2010, Eyak Corp., through the same counsel that represents EyakTek, advised GTSI that Eyak Corp. was the owner of 100 shares of GTSI’s common stock, and as a GTSI stockholder Eyak Corp. was demanding that GTSI investigate and take actions on matters set forth in the letter, including matters that were the subject of GTSI’s claims before the Delaware Chancery Court. Eyak Corp. alleged that GTSI’s failure to approve the continuation of EyakTek’s business operations constitutes a breach of fiduciary duties by GTSI’s directors and officers and demands that they cure this breach by approving the continuation of EyakTek’s business operations. Eyak Corp. also demanded that, if the alleged breach is not cured, GTSI investigate its prior disclosure related to GTSI’s disputes and litigation with EyakTek, make appropriate disclosures, including to the SBA and GTSI’s lenders, and investigate GTSI’s financial statements and account balances in respect of GTSI’s 37% interest in EyakTek. Further, Eyak Corp. demanded that GTSI bring action against GTSI’s employees, officers and directors responsible for the foregoing alleged actions to recover damages for GTSI. GTSI’s board of directors and a special committee of the Board are investigating this matter and will take such action as they deem necessary or appropriate and in the best interest of GTSI and its stockholders, in accordance with Delaware law.
In addition to the matters discussed above, we have, in the normal course of business, certain claims, including legal proceedings, against us and against other parties. We believe the resolution of these other claims that we have in the normal course of our business will not have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial position. However, the results of any legal proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty. Further, from time-to-time, agencies of the Federal Government, including the SBA and the U.S. Attorney’s Office as discussed above, investigate whether our operations are being conducted in accordance with applicable regulatory requirements. Federal Government investigations of us, whether relating to government contracts or conducted for other reasons, may result in administrative, civil or criminal liabilities, including repayments, fines or penalties being imposed upon us, or may lead to suspension or debarment from future Federal Government contracting. Federal Government investigations often take years to complete.

18. Subsequent Events
Credit Agreement Extension
On February 24, 2011, GTSI entered into an agreement with CPC and Wells Fargo Capital Finance, LLC., extending from May 27, 2011 to May 27, 2012 the maturity date of CPC’s 74.08% pro-rata share of the total loan commitment under the Amended Credit Agreement. GTSI and CPC are currently in discussions with other lenders to participate in the Amended Credit Agreement in respect of a 25.92% pro-rata share of the total loan commitment thereunder until May 27, 2012. If no other lenders agree to participate in the Amended Credit Agreement, the total facility limit would be reduced from an aggregate principal amount of $100 million to $74.08 million and the aggregate revolving loan facility limit would be reduced from $45 million to $33.34 million.
