The Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) had challenged the deferral of income for tax reporting purposes related to unbilled receivables including the applicability of a Letter Ruling issued by the IRS to the Company in January 1976 which granted to the Company deferred tax treatment of the unbilled receivables.  This issue was elevated to the IRS National Office for determination.  On October 23, 2008, the Company received a notification of ruling from the IRS National Office.  This ruling provided clarification regarding the IRS position relating to revenue recognition for tax purposes regarding its unbilled receivables.  During September 2009, the IRS completed its examination of the Company’s tax returns for 2004 through 2007 and issued a Revenue Agent Report (“RAR”), which reduced the deferral of income for tax reporting purposes.  As a result the Company reclassified

approximately $1 million from deferred to current taxes payable.  The RAR also included an assessment of interest of $0.5 million. The Company has filed a protest letter with the IRS to appeal the assessment.  The Company believes the appeal will be successful and has made no provision for the interest associated with the assessment.

NOTE 6. FINANCING ARRANGEMENTS

The Company’s outstanding debt at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010 was $20.0 million and $22.0 million, respectively, which consisted of an outstanding balance under a term loan.  The interest rate of the term loan at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010 was 1.80% and 1.79%, respectively, based on the 90-day LIBOR rate option that was in effect on those respective dates.  At March 31, 2011, the remaining available balance to borrow against the revolver was $24.4 million.

At March 31, 2011, the Company was in compliance with its loan covenants.

NOTE 7. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Company has an interest rate swap agreement with a notional amount representing half of the outstanding term loan principal.  Under this agreement, the Company receives a floating rate based on the 90-day LIBOR rate and pays a fixed rate of 3.60% (both excluding the applicable margin of 1.50%) on the outstanding notional amount.

The Company recorded a liability to recognize the fair value of the swap which has been accounted for as a component of the accumulated other comprehensive loss as the swap qualifies for hedge accounting.  The fair value effect on the financial statements from derivative instruments designated as a cash flow hedge is as follows:

The following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for these items, as well as the general classification of such items:

Investments Held in Rabbi Trusts — The investments include exchange-traded equity securities and mutual funds. Fair values for these investments were based on quoted prices in active markets and were therefore classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

Interest Rate Swap — The derivative is a receive-variable, pay-fixed interest rate swap based on the LIBOR rate and is designated as a cash flow hedge. Fair value was based on a model-driven valuation using the LIBOR rate, which was observable at commonly quoted intervals for the full term of the swap. Therefore, our interest rate swap was classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

The carrying values of other cash and cash equivalents, contract receivables and accounts payable approximate fair value because of the short-term nature of these instruments.  The carrying value of debt also approximates fair value because the interest rate is variable.

NOTE 11. EARNINGS PER SHARE

For the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, basic earnings per share are computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Unexercised stock options and unvested restricted shares are excluded from this calculation but are included in the diluted earnings per share calculation using the treasury stock method so long as their effect is not anti-dilutive.

For the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, diluted earnings per share are determined by using the weighted average number of common and dilutive common equivalent shares outstanding during the period.  Due to the anti-dilutive effect, approximately 86,500 and 63,000 options to purchase common stock were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2011.

NOTE 13. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

As a defense contractor, the Company is subject to many levels of audit and review from various government agencies, including the Defense Contract Audit Agency, various inspectors general, the Defense Criminal Investigation Service, the Government Accountability Office, the Department of Justice and Congressional committees. Both related to and unrelated to its defense industry involvement, the Company is, from time to time, involved in audits, lawsuits, claims, administrative proceedings and investigations. The Company accrues for liabilities associated with these activities when it becomes probable that future expenditures will be made and such expenditures can be reasonably estimated. Except as noted below, the Company does not presently believe it is reasonably likely that any of these matters would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial position, results of operations or cash flows. The Company’s evaluation of the likelihood of expenditures related to these matters is subject to change in future periods, depending on then current events and circumstances, which could have material adverse effects on the Company’s business, financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

On June 28, 2005, a class action employee suit was filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts alleging violations of the Fair Labor Standards Act and certain provisions of Massachusetts General Laws. In July 2010, the Company and the plaintiffs agreed upon principle terms of settlement, the cost of which was accrued on the balance sheet as of June 30, 2010. In October 2010, the Company received an executed settlement agreement by the plaintiffs. The Federal District Court for the First Circuit reviewed the settlement and on March 4, 2011 approved the settlement. The Federal Court thirty day appeal period for challenges to the settlement expired on April 4, 2011, with no appeals filed. The parties will proceed to implement the terms of the class action settlement.

OVERVIEW

Dynamics Research Corporation, headquartered in Andover, Massachusetts, is a leading provider of innovative management consulting, engineering, and information technology services and solutions to federal and state governments.

Our go-to-market strategy is sharply focused within each of four dimensions:

 
·
Solutions.  We deliver high-value differentiated solutions to our clients.  Our five areas of differentiated expertise are business transformation, information technology, training and performance support, management services and engineering services.  We believe our solutions align well with the needs of our government customers today through improved efficiencies and effectiveness, procurement reform, transformational and technology based changes, and ongoing, changing security threats.

 
·
Markets and Customers.  We target markets, which based on long-term market force drivers, have sustained government projected demand for services.  We select customers from the spectrum of federal government departments and agencies in our target growth markets with needs that well match the solutions we provide.  Currently our target growth markets include homeland security, healthcare, cyber security, intelligence and financial/regulatory reform.  In 2010, approximately 60% of our revenue was derived from clients in these markets and selected high growth areas of defense such as unmanned aerial systems and force readiness and training. Our 2010 revenue derived from these markets grew 12% over 2009.

 
·
Prime Government and Agency-Wide Contracts.  We hold an enviable portfolio of government and agency-wide multiple award schedule ID/IQ task order contracts.  Today, these types of contracts are the federal government’s preferred means of procurement for services.

 
·
Acquisitions.  We use acquisitions, funded through both operationally generated cash and leverage, to strengthen our position in our target growth markets.

Revenues

We reported total revenue of $69.5 million and $68.6 million in the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Total revenues for the first quarter of 2011 represent an increase of $0.9 million, or 1.4%, from the same period in 2010.

Revenues were earned from the following sectors:

Total revenue

(1)
Total revenue from federal agencies does not add due to rounding.

The increase in our revenues from federal agencies in the first quarter of 2011 was primarily due to contracts awarded to us in 2010 in our healthcare and intelligence target growth markets.

Revenues from state and local government agencies declined in the first quarter of 2011 compared to the same period in 2010 due to the deployment of the State of Tennessee child welfare system contract in September 2010.  Revenue from our State of Tennessee contract in the first quarter of 2011 was $0.2 million compared to $2.4 million in the same period of 2010.

Revenues by contract type as a percentage of revenues were as follows:

Backlog and Bookings

Our backlog position was as follows:

March 31,

December 31,

Backlog:
           
Funded

Unfunded
    268.3       267.4  
Total backlog
  $ 385.1     $ 400.9  
 

We expect that substantially all of our funded backlog at March 31, 2011 will generate revenue during the subsequent twelve month period. The funded backlog generally is subject to possible termination at the convenience of the contracting party. Contracts are typically funded on an annual basis or incrementally for shorter time periods. The funded backlog as of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010 covered approximately 5.0 months and 5.7 months of revenue, respectively. Funded bookings were $59.0 million and $46.6 million in the three-month period ended March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2010, respectively, and generated a book-to-bill ratio of approximately 0.8 to 1 and 0.7 to 1 for each respective period.

Gross Profit

Total gross profit was $10.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, resulting in a gross margin of 15.5% and 15.7% for the first quarter of 2011 and 2010, respectively.  The decrease in the gross margin was primarily a result of an increased portion of our revenue being derived from the use of subcontracted services.

Selling, general and administrative expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $5.7 million and $6.0 million in the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percent of total revenue in the first quarter of 2011 and 2010 were 8.2% and 8.7%, respectively. The decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses in the first quarter of 2011was due to lower provisions for doubtful accounts and a decline in indirect labor, partially offset by an increase in professional fees.

Amortization of intangible assets

Amortization expense was $0.4 million the first quarter of 2011 and 2010.  The remaining amortization expense for the current fiscal year is expected to be approximately $0.8 million.

Interest expense, net

We incurred net interest expense of $0.3 million and $0.4 million in the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.  The decrease in interest expense in the first quarter of 2011 compared to the same period in 2010 was due to a lower outstanding term loan balance and lower average interest rate.

Other income (expense), net

Other income (expense) consists of our portion of earnings and losses in HMRTech, gains and losses realized from our deferred compensation plan and results from other non-operating transactions, all of which were immaterial to our results.

Income tax provision (benefit)

We recorded income tax provisions of $1.9 million and $1.4 million in the first quarter of 2011 and 2010, respectively.  The effective income tax rate was 40.7% and 34.1% in the first quarter of 2011 and 2010, respectively.  We recorded a refund of $0.3 million in the first quarter of 2010 related to 2003 tax deductions.  Absent the refund, the Company’s effective tax rate in the first quarter of 2010 was 40.2%.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The following discussion analyzes liquidity and capital resources by operating, investing and financing activities as presented in our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Our principal sources of liquidity are cash flows from operations and borrowings from our revolving credit facility.


Our results of operations, cash flows and financial condition are subject to trends, events and uncertainties, including demands for capital to support growth, economic conditions, government payment practices and contractual matters. Our need for access to funds is dependent on future operating results, our growth and acquisition activity and external conditions.

We have evaluated our future liquidity needs, both from a short-term and long-term basis.  We believe we have sufficient funds to meet our working capital and capital expenditure needs for the short-term. Cash on hand plus cash generated from operations along with cash available under our credit lines are expected to be sufficient in 2011 to service debt, finance capital expenditures, pay federal and state income taxes and fund the pension plan, if necessary. To provide for long-term liquidity, we believe we can generate substantial positive cash flow, as well as obtain additional capital, if necessary, from the use of subordinated debt or equity. In the event that our current capital resources are not sufficient to fund requirements, we believe our access to additional capital resources would be sufficient to meet our needs.

We believe that selective acquisitions are an important component of our growth strategy. We may acquire, from time to time, businesses or contracts that are aligned with our core capabilities and which complement our customer base. We will continue to consider acquisition opportunities that align with our strategic objectives, along with the possibility of utilizing our credit facility as a source of financing.

At March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, we had cash and cash equivalents aggregating $18.6 million and $30.2 million, respectively.

Operating activities

Net cash used in operating activities from continuing operations totaled $9.5 million in the first quarter of 2011 compared to net cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations $13.1 million in the first quarter of 2010. The cash used in operating activities in the first quarter of 2011 was primarily attributable to the increase of net contract receivables.
 
Net contract receivables were $58.0 million and $48.4 million at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.  Billed receivables and unbilled receivables increased $4.9 million and $4.7 million, respectively, in the first quarter of 2011. Contract receivable days sales outstanding (“DSO”) was 75 days at March 31, 2011 compared to 62 days at December 31, 2010.  Federal business DSO, which excludes the effect of our state contracts, was 66 days at March 31, 2011 compared to 55 days at December 31, 2010. The increase in contract receivables and DSO was a result of funding delays related to the continuing resolution and delayed billing rate approval, which was received in February and impacted our ability to invoice and collect the corresponding receivables on cost type contracts.

Our net deferred tax liability was $2.7 million and $1.8 million at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.  The increase in the deferred tax liability was primarily due to the increase in unbilled receivables and adjustments for pension liabilities and deferred compensation plans.  During the first quarter of 2011, we received a net refund of $0.1 million in income taxes and currently anticipate net income tax payments of $6.9 million in the remaining three quarters of 2011.

The IRS has challenged the deferral of income for tax reporting purposes related to unbilled receivables including the applicability of a Letter Ruling issued by the IRS to DRC in January 1976 which granted us deferred tax treatment of the unbilled receivables.  This issue was elevated to the IRS National Office for determination.  On October 23, 2008, we received a notification of ruling from the IRS National Office.  This ruling provided clarification regarding the IRS position relating to revenue recognition for tax purposes regarding our unbilled receivables.  During September 2009, the IRS completed its examination of our tax returns for 2004 through 2007 and issued a Revenue Agent Report, which reduced the deferral of income for tax reporting purposes.  As a result we reclassified approximately $1 million from deferred to current taxes payable.  The IRS report also included an assessment of interest of $0.5 million. We have filed a protest with the IRS to appeal the assessment.  We believe the appeal will be successful and have therefore made no provision for the interest associated with the assessment.
 

Share-based compensation was $0.2 million in the first quarter of 2011 and 2010.  As of March 31, 2011 the total unrecognized compensation related to restricted stock awards was $0.9 million to be recognized over 2.2 years, and the unrecognized compensation expense related to stock option awards was $0.2 million which is expected to be amortized over approximately 2.3 years.

Non-cash amortization expense of our acquired intangible assets was $0.4 million in both the first quarters of 2011 and 2010.  We anticipate that non-cash expense for the amortization of intangible assets will remain at a comparable quarterly level for the second quarter of 2011 and will decrease by approximately $0.1 million in each of the remaining quarters of 2011.

During the first quarter of 2011, we contributed $3.5 million to fund the pension plan and anticipate pension expense to be approximately $0.2 million in 2011.

Investing activities

The net cash used in investing activities from continuing operations of $0.3 million and $2.3 million in the first quarter of 2011 and 2010, respectively, primarily comprised of investing of capital expenditures. Capital expenditures for the first quarter of 2010 were primarily used for expenditures related to the relocation of our headquarter facilities.  We anticipate capital expenditures to be approximately $3 million in 2011.

Financing activities

In December 2010, DRC’s board of directors authorized a share repurchase program, which allows us to buy back up to 700,000 shares of our common stock through June 6, 2011.  During the first quarter of 2011, we repurchased 20,728 shares at a weighted average price of $14.97.  The timing, price and amount of any repurchase has been and will be determined by management based on its evaluation of market conditions and other factors.  These repurchases may be made through the open market, including block purchases, or in private negotiated transactions, or otherwise.  The buyback will be funded through available cash balances and or borrowings, and may be suspended or discontinued at any time.  At March 31, 2011, there were 638,872 shares available to be repurchased under the program.

Our term loan requires quarterly repayments of $2.0 million and we expect operating cash flows to be sufficient to fund these repayments.  Our swap agreement effectively fixes our interest rate on an initial notional amount of $20.0 million of the term loan principal at 5.10% (3.60% swap fixed rate plus the current margin of 1.50%) throughout the term of the credit facility.  At March 31, 2011, the borrowing capacity available under our revolver was $24.4 million.

At March 31, 2011, we were in compliance with our loan covenants.  Our most stringent financial covenant is the fixed charge coverage ratio.  This covenant requires us to maintain a ratio of adjusted consolidated EBITDA to adjusted consolidated interest expense of not less than 1.25 to 1.00.  This fixed charge coverage ratio is tested on a quarterly basis and is measured on a trailing four fiscal quarter basis.

We believe we have access to additional capital resources, from the use of subordinated debt or equity, as alternate sources of funding.  We are confident that our current resources are sufficient and we believe the possibility of needing additional financing resources for the continuation of current operations is remote.

Net cash used in financing activities was $1.7 million and $3.8 million in the first quarter of 2011 and 2010, respectively. The amount of cash used in both periods primarily represented payments under our term loan of $2.0 million.  During the first quarter of 2010 we also made net repayments of an additional $2.0 million on our revolver.
 

The outstanding balance of our term loan during the first quarter of 2011 and 2010 was $22.0 million and $30.0 million, respectively.  The average interest rate of our term loan and swap agreement in the first quarters of 2011 and 2010 was 3.44% and 3.93%, respectively. The average daily borrowing on our revolver for the first quarter of 2010 was $3.9 million at an interest rate of 3.25%.


We are subject to interest rate risk associated with our term loan and revolver, where interest payments are tied to either the LIBOR or prime rate. We entered into an interest rate swap agreement to mitigate the floating interest rate on half of our outstanding term loan. On March 31, 2011, the interest rate on our outstanding term loan of $20 million was 1.80%. The swap agreement effectively fixes the interest rate on half of our outstanding term loan at 5.10%, which includes the current applicable margin of 1.50%. The blended interest rate on our term loan and swap agreement was 3.45% at March 31, 2011.  At any time, a sharp rise in interest rates could have an adverse effect on net interest expense as reported in our Consolidated Statements of Operations. Our potential loss over one year that would result in a hypothetical and instantaneous increase of one full percentage point in the interest rate on half of our term loan would increase annual interest expense by approximately $0.2 million.

In addition, historically our investment positions have been relatively small and short-term in nature.  We typically invest excess cash in money market accounts with original maturities of three months or less with no exposure to market interest rates. We have no significant exposure to foreign currency fluctuations.


The Company’s principal executive officer (“CEO”) and principal financial officer (“CFO”) evaluated, together with other members of senior management, the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of March 31, 2011; and, based on this review, the Company’s CEO and CFO concluded that, as of March 31, 2011, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by it in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (i) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the Company’s CEO and CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

There has been no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)) during the quarterly period ended March 31, 2011 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
 

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION


As a defense contractor, we are subject to many levels of audit and review from various government agencies, including the Defense Contract Audit Agency, various inspectors general, the Defense Criminal Investigation Service, the Government Accountability Office, the Department of Justice and Congressional committees. Both related to and unrelated to our defense industry involvement, we are, from time to time, involved in audits, lawsuits, claims, administrative proceedings and investigations. We accrue for liabilities associated with these activities when it becomes probable that future expenditures will be made and such expenditures can be reasonably estimated.

We are a party to litigation referenced in Note 13 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Form 10-Q. Except as noted therein we do not presently believe it is reasonably likely that any of these matters would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Our evaluation of the likelihood of expenditures related to these matters is subject to change in future periods, depending on then current events and circumstances, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position, results of operations and cash flows.


For information regarding factors that could affect our results of operations, financial condition and liquidity, refer to the section titled “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A of our 2010 Form 10-K. There have been no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in our most recent Form 10-K.


The following table sets forth all purchases made by us or on our behalf by any "affiliated purchaser," as defined in Rule 10b-18(a)(3) under the Exchange Act, of shares of our common stock during each month in the first quarter of 2011.
