VERSAR, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
 
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION
 
The condensed consolidated financial statements of Versar, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (“Versar” or the “Company”) contained in this report are unaudited, but reflect all normal recurring adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for the fair presentation of the results of the interim periods reflected. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) have been omitted pursuant to applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Therefore, these condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10–K for the fiscal year ended July 1, 2016, filed with the SEC on March 28, 2017. The results of operations for the three- and nine- month periods reported herein are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the full fiscal year. The fiscal year-end balance sheet data included in this report was derived from audited financial statements. The Company’s fiscal year is based upon a 52 - 53 week calendar, and ends in most cases on the last Friday of the fiscal period. The three-month period ended March 31, 2017 and April 1, 2016 each included 13 weeks. Fiscal 2017 will include 52 weeks and fiscal 2016 included 53 weeks. The extra week occurred in the period ended December 30, 2016. Therefore, for comparative purposes, the year to date numbers presented will include an additional week of results for fiscal 2016.
 
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
In September 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2015-16 – Business Combinations (Topic 805)Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments: (“ASU 2015-16”), which replaces the requirement that an acquirer in a business combination account for measurement period adjustments retrospectively with a requirement that an acquirer recognize adjustments to the provisional amounts that are identified during the measurement period in the reporting period in which the adjustment amounts are determined. ASU 2015-16 requires that the acquirer record, in the same period’s financial statements, the effect on earnings of changes in depreciation, amortization, or other income effects, if any, as a result of the change to the provisional amounts, calculated as if the accounting had been completed at the acquisition date. For public business entities, ASU 2015-16 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The guidance is to be applied prospectively to adjustments to provisional amounts that occur after the effective date of the guidance, with earlier application permitted for financial statements that have not been issued. The Company will adopt the guidance for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2017 and does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
 
In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (“ASU 2016-02”), which requires the recognition of lease rights and obligations as assets and liabilities on the balance sheet. Previously, lessees were not required to recognize on the balance sheet assets and liabilities arising from operating leases. The ASU also requires disclosure of key information about leasing arrangements. ASU 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, using the modified retrospective method of adoption, with early adoption permitted. We have not yet determined the effect of the adoption of ASU 2016-02 on our consolidated financial statements nor have we selected a transition date.
 
In May 2014, the FASB issued Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) (“ASU 2014-09”). ASU 2014-09 provides a single comprehensive revenue recognition framework and supersedes almost all existing revenue recognition guidance. Included in the new principles-based revenue recognition model are changes to the basis for deciding on the timing for revenue recognition. In addition, the standard expands and improves revenue disclosures. In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of Effective Date, to amend ASU 2014-09 to defer the effective date of the new revenue recognition standard. As a result, ASU 2014-09 is effective for the Company for fiscal 2018 and can be adopted either retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented or as a cumulative effect adjustment as of the date of adoption.
 
In March 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. ASU 2016-08, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net) (“ASU 2016-08”) to amend ASU 2014-09, clarifying the implementation guidance on principal versus agent considerations in the new revenue recognition standard. Specifically, ASU 2016-08 clarifies how an entity should identify the unit of accounting (i.e., the specified good or service) for the principal versus agent evaluation and how it should apply the control principle to certain types of arrangements.
 
In April 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. (“ASU 2016-10”), Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing ASU 2016-10 to amend ASU 2014-09, reducing the complexity when applying the guidance for identifying performance obligations and improving the operability and understandability of the license implementation guidance.
 
In May 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. (“ASU 2016-12”), Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients. The improvements address completed contracts and contract modifications at transition, noncash consideration, the presentation of sales taxes and other taxes collected from customers, and assessment of collectability when determining whether a transaction represents a valid contract. Specifically, ASU 2016-12 clarifies how an entity should evaluate the collectability threshold and when an entity can recognize nonrefundable consideration received as revenue if an arrangement does not meet the standard’s contract criteria. The pronouncement is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company is evaluating the adoption of ASU 2014-09 and the impact all the foregoing Topic 606 amendments will have on its consolidated financial statements.
 
In August 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-15, Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern, which requires management to assess a company’s ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related footnote disclosures in certain circumstances. Under the new standard, disclosures are required when conditions give rise to substantial doubt about a company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year from the financial statement issuance date. The Company adopted the guidance for first quarter of fiscal 2017 and management assessed the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. After considering the Company’s historical negative cash flow from operating activities, recurring losses and accumulated deficit management concluded that there is substantial doubt about the entities ability to continue as a going concern. Certain disclosures were added to comply with the disclosure requirements of the ASU.
 
In January 2017, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2017-04, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. These amendments eliminate Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. The annual, or interim, goodwill impairment test is performed by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An impairment charge should be recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value; however, the loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. In addition, income tax effects from any tax deductible goodwill on the carrying amount of the reporting unit should be considered when measuring the goodwill impairment loss, if applicable. The Company will adopt the guidance for fourth quarter of fiscal 2017 and does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
 
NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERN
 
The accompanying financial statements and notes have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has generated recurring losses, is operating with constrained operating cash flows under its loan agreement with its secured lender, and further losses are anticipated in the future. Management evaluated the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and determined that the Company is dependent upon its ability to generate profitable operations and/or raise additional capital through equity or debt financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities when they come due.
 
The Company intends to continue funding its business operations and its working capital needs and is aggressively seeking alternate financing that could include private placements financing, and obtaining additional term loans or borrowings from other financial institutions, until such time profitable operations can be achieved. As much as management believes that this plan provides an opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern, there are no written agreements in place for such funding or issuance of securities and there can be no assurance that sufficient funding will be available in the future. These and other factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
 
These financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts, or amounts and classification of liabilities that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTE 4 – ACQUISITION
 
On September 30, 2015, the Company completed the acquisition of a specialized federal security integration business from Johnson Controls, Inc., which is now known as Versar Security Systems (VSS). This group is headquartered in Germantown, Maryland and generated approximately $34 million in trailing twelve month revenues prior to the acquisition date from key long term customers such as the FAA and Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). The results of operations of VSS have been included in the Company’s consolidated results from the date of acquisition.
 
VSS expands the Company’s service offerings to include higher margin classified construction, enables Versar to generate more work with existing clients and positions the Company to more effectively compete for new opportunities. At closing, the Company paid a cash purchase price of $10.5 million. In addition, the Company agreed to pay contingent consideration of up to a maximum of $3.2 million (undiscounted including probability weighing of future cash flows) based on the occurrence of certain events within the earn out period of three years from September 30, 2015. This remaining unpaid anticipated contingent consideration is recognized as consideration and as a liability, of which $1.6 million is presented within other current liabilities and $1.2 million is presented within other long-term liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2017. The potential undiscounted amount of all future payments that the Company could be required to make under the contingent consideration agreement ranges from $0 to a maximum payout of $3.2 million, with the amount recorded being the most probable.
 
The final purchase price allocation in the table below reflects the Company’s estimate of the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the September 30, 2015 acquisition date. Goodwill was allocated to the ECM segment. Goodwill represents the value in excess of fair market value that the Company paid to acquire VSS. The allocation of intangibles has been completed by an independent third party and recorded on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as of July 1, 2016.

Unbilled receivables represent amounts earned that have not yet been billed and other amounts that can be invoiced upon completion of fixed-price contract milestones, attainment of certain contract objectives, or completion of federal and state governments’ incurred cost audits. Management anticipates that such unbilled receivables will be substantially billed and collected in fiscal 2017; therefore, they have been presented as current assets in accordance with industry practice. In January 2017, Versar billed and collected $7.5 million for the contract to do work at Dover Air Force Base (DAFB) based on resolution with the client on a contract modification. As part of concentration risk, management continues to assess the impact of having the Performance-Based Remediation (PBR) contracts within the ESG segment representing a significant portion of the outstanding receivable balance.

NOTE 9 – ABANDONED LEASED FACILITIES
 
In March 2016, the Company abandoned its field office facilities in Mount Pleasant, SC and Lynchburg, VA, both within the ESG segment. Although the Company remains obligated under the terms of these leases for the rent and other costs associated with these leases, the Company made the decision to cease using these spaces on April 1, 2016, and has no foreseeable plans to occupy them in the future. Therefore, the Company recorded a charge to selling, general and administrative expenses of approximately $0.4 million to recognize the costs of exiting these spaces. The liability is equal to the total amount of rent and other direct costs for the period of time the space is expected to remain unoccupied plus the present value of the amount by which the rent paid by the Company to the landlord exceeds any rent paid to the Company by a tenant under a sublease over the remainder of the lease terms, which expire in April 2019 for Mount Pleasant, SC, and June 2020 for Lynchburg, VA. The Company also recognized $0.1 million of costs in the quarter ending April 1, 2016 for the associated leasehold improvements related to the Lynchburg, VA office.
 
In June 2016, the Company abandoned its field office facilities in San Antonio, TX within the ECM segment. Although the Company remains obligated under the terms of the lease for the rent and other costs associated with the lease, the Company made the decision to cease using this space on July 1, 2016, and has no foreseeable plans to occupy it in the future. Therefore, the Company recorded a charge to selling, general and administrative expenses of approximately $0.2 million in the quarter ending July 1, 2016 to recognize the costs of exiting this space. The liability is equal to the total amount of rent and other direct costs for the period of time the space is expected to remain unoccupied plus the present value of the amount by which the rent paid by the Company to the landlord exceeds any rent paid to the Company by a tenant under a sublease over the remainder of the lease terms, which expires in February 2019. The Company also recognized $0.2 million of costs in the quarter ending July 1, 2016 for the associated leasehold improvements related to the San Antonio, TX office.
 
The Company entered into subleases for its locations in San Antonio, TX (September 2016) and Mount Pleasant, SC (April 2017). Both of these subleases will continue for the duration of the respective underlying leases.

NOTE 10 – DEBT
 
Notes Payable
 
As part of the purchase price for J.M. Waller Associates, Inc. (JMWA) in July 2014, the Company agreed to pay to the three JMWA stockholders over time an aggregate principal balance of $6.0 million, which is payable quarterly over a four and a half-year period with interest accruing at a rate of 5% per year. Accrued interest is recorded in the consolidated balance sheet. As of March 31, 2017, the outstanding principal balance owed to the JMWA stockholders was $3.5 million.
 
On October 3, 2016 the Company did not make the quarterly principal payments to the three individuals who were the former owners of JMWA. However, the Company continued to make monthly interest payments through the end of calendar year 2016 at an increased interest rate (seven percent per annum, rather than five percent per annum). On November 21, 2016, two of the former JMWA shareholders filed an action against the Company in Fairfax County District Court, Virginia for failure to make such payments and to enforce their rights to such payments. The Company is aggressively defending this lawsuit. During the second quarter of fiscal 2017, the Company moved the long term portion of the debt to short term notes payable for a total of $3.5 million. In January 2017, the Company stopped making the interest only payments to two of the former owners and continues to make the monthly interest only payment at seven percent per annum to one former owner.
 
On September 30, 2015, the Company, together with certain of its domestic subsidiaries acting as guarantors (the Guarantors), entered into a Loan Agreement with the Bank of America, N.A. (the Lender) for a revolving credit facility in the amount of $25.0 million, $14.6 million of which was drawn on the date of closing, and a term facility in the amount of $5.0 million, which was fully drawn on the date of closing.
 
The maturity date of the revolving credit facility is September 30, 2018 and the maturity date of the term facility was originally March 31, 2017 (the latter was subsequently changed to September 30, 2017 by Amendment). The principal amount of the term facility amortizes in quarterly installments equal to $0.8 million with no penalty for prepayment. Interest accrues on the revolving credit facility and the term facility at a rate per year equal to the LIBOR Daily Floating Rate (as defined in the Loan Agreement) plus 1.95% and was payable in arrears on December 31, 2015 and on the last day of each quarter thereafter. The Loan Amendment increased the current interest on the revolving credit facility to the LIBOR Daily floating rate plus 5%. Obligations under the Loan Agreement are guaranteed unconditionally and on a joint and several basis by the Guarantors and secured by substantially all of the assets of Versar and the Guarantors. The Loan Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants and during fiscal 2016 contained financial covenants related to the maintenance of a Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio, Consolidated Senior Leverage Ratio, Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio and a Consolidated Asset Coverage Ratio. On December 9, 2016 Versar, together with the Guarantors, entered into an Amendment to the Loan Agreement with the Lender removing these covenants and adding a covenant requiring Versar to maintain certain minimum quarterly consolidated EBITDA amounts.
 
As of March 31, 2017, the Company’s outstanding principal debt balance not including amounts due on the revolving line of credit was $4.5 million comprised of the term loan balance under the Loan Agreement of $1.0 million, and the JMWA Note balance of $3.5 million. The following maturity schedule presents all outstanding term debt as March 31, 2017.

Line of Credit
 
As noted above, the Company had a $25.0 million revolving line of credit facility pursuant to the Loan Agreement with the Lender. The revolving credit facility is scheduled to mature on September 30, 2018. The Company had $14.9 million outstanding under its line of credit for the fiscal year ended July 1, 2016. On December 9, 2016 Versar, together with the Guarantors, entered into an First Amendment and Waiver (the Amendment) to the Loan Agreement among other things, reducing the maximum permitted under the revolving line of credit facility to $13.0 million. The Loan Amendment increased the current interest on the revolving credit facility to the LIBOR Daily floating rate plus 5%. The Company had $5.9 million outstanding under its line of credit as of March 31, 2017.
 
The Company adopted ASU No. 2015-13 to simplify the presentation of debt issuance costs for the fiscal year ended July 1, 2016. $0.2 million of remaining unamortized cost associated with the Loan Agreement as of July 1, 2016 is therefore no longer presented as a separate asset - deferred charge on the consolidated balance sheet, and instead reclassified as a direct deduction from the carrying value of the line of credit.
 
 
 
 
 
 
Debt Covenants
 
During the third and fourth quarters of fiscal 2016, following discussion with the Lender, the Company determined that it was not in compliance with the Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio covenant for the fiscal quarters ended January 1, 2016 and April 1, 2016, and the Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio covenant, Consolidated Senior Leverage Ratio covenant and the Asset Coverage Ratio covenant for the fiscal quarter ended April 1, 2016, which defaults continued as of July 1, 2016. Each failure to comply with these covenants constituted a default under the Loan Agreement. On May 12, 2016, the Company, the Guarantors and the Lender entered into a Forbearance Agreement pursuant to which the Lender agreed to forbear from exercising any and all rights or remedies available to it under the Loan Agreement and applicable law related to these defaults for a period ending on the earliest to occur of: (a) a breach by the Company of any obligation or covenant under the Forbearance Agreement, (b) any other default or event of default under the Loan Agreement or (c) June 1, 2016 (the Forbearance Period).
 
The Forbearance Period was subsequently extended by additional Forbearance Agreements between the Company and the Lender, through December 9, 2016. During the Forbearance Period, the Company was allowed to borrow funds pursuant to the terms of the Loan Agreement, consistent with current Company needs as set forth in a required 13-week cash flow forecast and subject to certain caps on revolving borrowings initially of $15.5 million and reducing to $13.0 million. In addition, the Forbearance Agreements provided that from and after June 30, 2016 outstanding amounts under the credit facility will bear interest at the default interest rate equal to the LIBOR Daily Floating Rate (as defined in the Loan Agreement) plus 3.95%, required that the Company provide a 13 week cash flow forecast updated on a weekly basis to the Lender, and waives any provisions prohibiting the financing of insurance premiums for policies covering the period of July 1, 2016 to June 30, 2017 in the ordinary course of the Company’s business and in amounts consistent with past practices. On December 9, 2016, Versar, together with the Guarantors, entered into an Amendment to the Loan Agreement, eliminating the events of default. The Lender has engaged an advisor to review the Company’s financial condition on the Lender’s behalf, and pursuant to the Forbearance Agreements and the Amendment, the Company must pursue alternative sources of funding for its ongoing business operations.
 
Additionally, the Lender required that the Company provide it with 10 year warrants for the purchase of 10% of the fully diluted common stock of the Company (or 1,095,222 shares) with an exercise price of $.01 per share containing customary provisions for warrants issued by public companies and which may be exercised at any time after the earlier of an Event of Default under the Loan Agreement or August 30, 2017. The Amendment also required the payment of an amendment fee of $0.3 million, which was originally to be paid on the earlier of August 30, 2017 or demand upon an Event of Default, but was prepaid by the Company in December 2016.  If all obligations under the Loan Agreement are paid in full prior to August 30, 2017 and no Event of Default has occurred before such time, the Lender will return all warrants, unexercised, and the Lender will waive and forgive (or repay to the Company) the amendment fee of $0.3 million. The value of the warrant, $1,544,263, was as deferred and amortized as additional interest expense over the term of the Loan Agreement, as amended. The value was calculated using the Black-Scholes model with the following assumptions:
 
Expected volatility
  277%
Expected life (in years)
  5
Risk-free interest rate
  1.15%
Expected dividend yield
  0.00%
 
On March 31, 2017, the Company failed its  minimum quarterly consolidated EBITDA covenant set forth in the Amendment to the Loan Agreement, which constitutes an Event of Default under the Loan Agreement. On May 8, 2017, the Lender and the Company entered into a Second Amendment and Waiver pursuant to which the Lender provided a one-time waiver to this Event of Default effective as of May 5, 2017 in exchange for an amendment fee of $15,000.  As a result of this waiver, the warrants remain outstanding, but unexercisable, and the amendment fee may still be waived and forgiven subject to no further Events of Default and repayment of all obligations under the Loan Agreement prior to August 30, 2017.
 
If the Company is unable to raise additional financing, the Company will need to adjust its operational plans so that the Company can continue to operate with its existing cash resources. The actual amount of funds that the Company will need will be determined by many factors, some of which are beyond its control and the Company may need funds sooner than currently anticipated.

NOTE 11 – NET INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE
 
Basic net income per common share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per common share also includes common stock equivalents outstanding during the period, if dilutive. The Company’s common stock equivalent shares consist of shares to be issued under outstanding stock options and unvested restricted stock units.

NOTE 12 – SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION
 
Restricted Stock Unit Activity
 
In November 2010, the stockholders approved the Versar, Inc. 2010 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2010 Plan”), under which the Company may grant incentive awards to directors, officers, and employees of the Company and its affiliates and to service providers to the Company and its affiliates. One million shares of Versar common stock were reserved for issuance under the 2010 Plan. The 2010 Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. Through March 31, 2017, a total of 667,103 restricted stock units have been issued under the 2010 Plan and there are 335,897 shares remaining available for future issuance of awards (including restricted stock units) under the 2010 Plan.
 
Share-based compensation expense relating to all outstanding restricted stock unit awards totaled approximately $37,000 and $217,000 for the three months and nine months ended March 31, 2017, respectively. These expenses were included in direct costs of services and overhead and SG&A expenses in the Company?s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
 
NOTE 13 – INCOME TAXES
 
The effective tax rates were approximately 0% and 37.5% for the first nine months of fiscal 2017 and 2016, respectively.
 
NOTE 14 – NYSE MKT LLC COMPLIANCE
 
On April 6, 2017, the Company received a letter from the NYSE MKT (the Exchange) in which the Exchange determined that the Company was not in compliance with Section 1003(a)(i) of the Exchange’s Company Guide because the Company’s stockholder’s equity reported for the fiscal year ended July 1, 2016 was below $2.0 million and it has reported net losses in two of its three most recent fiscal years. The Exchange also informed the Company that it must submit a plan to the Exchange by May 6, 2017 identifying the actions the Company has taken, or will take, to regain compliance with the Company Guide by October 6, 2018. If the Company fails to submit a plan, or if the Exchange does not accept the submitted plan, delisting proceedings will commence. Furthermore, if the plan is accepted, but the Company is not in compliance with the Company Guide by October 6, 2018, or if the Company does not make progress consistent with the plan, the Exchange may initiate delisting proceedings. In addition, the letter provided the Company an early warning regarding potential noncompliance with Section 1003(a)(iv) of the Company Guide, due to uncertainty regarding the Company’s ability to generate sufficient cash flows and liquidity to fund operations. This uncertainty raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. On May 8, 2017, the Company submitted its plan to the Exchange.
 
 
 
 
 
 
NOTE 15 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
 
Effective April 15, 2017 the U.S. Army Reserve 88th Regional Support Command (RSC) executed the first option period for an additional 12 months for its staff augmentation contract. Management expects that its continuation of the work under this contract extension to operate at a loss and intends to record a charge of $1.3 million during its fiscal fourth quarter of 2017. The base contract performance period for this contract was awarded in September 2016 and ends April 15, 2017.
 
On April 4, 2017, the Company sold its PPS subsidiary for a cash value of $214,042.50. The Company is entitled to additional cash payments for PPS in a total of up to £400,000 contingent on PPS’ attainment of certain performance thresholds agreed upon with the buyer of PPS.

Financial Trends
 
Our business performance is affected by the overall level of U.S. Government spending and the alignment of our offerings and capabilities with the budget priorities of the U.S. Government. Adverse changes in fiscal and economic conditions, such as the manner in which spending reductions are implemented, including sequestration, future government shutdowns, regulatory changes and issues related to the nation’s debt ceiling, could have a material adverse effect on our business.
 
In such a challenging economic environment, our focus is on those opportunities where the U.S. Government continue to place substantial funding and which clearly align with Versar’s capabilities. These opportunities include construction management, security system integration, remediation, and hazardous materials management. We also continue to focus on areas that we believe offer attractive enough returns to our clients, such as construction type services both in the U. S. and internationally, improvements in energy efficiency, and assisting with facility upgrades. We continue to see a decline in some of our PSG contract positions largely due to the continued shift to more contract solicitations being targeted at small business and similar such set-aside companies. If we cannot expand our relationships with such set-aside firms and increase our ability to capture more of this work, this may result in a material impact on future periods. Overall, our pipeline remains robust, but longer timelines for contract awards and project start dates have slowed the transition from pipeline to backlog, which directly impacts the start of revenue generating projects.
 
We believe that Versar has the expertise to identify and respond to the challenges raised by the issues we face and that we are positioned in the coming year to address these concerns. Our business is segregated based on the nature of the work, business processes, customer bases and the business environment in which each of the segments operates.
 
Versar remains committed to our customers, shareholders, employees and partners. Versar will continue to provide technical expertise to our primarily federal customers. We will focus on international construction management in austere environments, security solutions, ongoing investments in military base efficiencies and renovation, compliance and environmental remediation. To reiterate our long-term strategy to reflect our new reality, the following elements are driving our strategy:
 
1.
Re-Establish Financial Stability and Grow Shareholder Value. Versar is now current with our financial reporting requirements with the Exchange and SEC. While we continue to seek a long-term financial solution, we are exploring all strategic options. We are committed to conservatively managing our resources to ensure maximum shareholder value and re-establish our financial stability.
 
2.
Profitably Execute Current Backlog. Our front-line project managers and employees will continue to control costs and streamline processes to profitably execute our current backlog. In addition, our support staff will redouble their efforts to support our front-line employees efficiently and effectively serve our customers. We are committed to innovatively transform our business processes to be as efficient and cost-effective as possible.
 
3.
Grow Our Pipeline. We are aggressively mining existing IDIQ contract vehicles to increase our win rate. While we reduced back-office staff in our Business Development group, we remain committed to growing our pipeline and backlog by carefully managing our proposal efforts from identification through award to maximize our business development investments.
 
4.
Retain and Attract the Best People. Our employees are critical to the execution of our strategy and we are committed to attracting and retaining the employees required to achieve all the elements of our strategy.
 
For the three months ended March 31, 2017, the Company operated at a financial loss. We continue to experience delays in contract awards, as well as delays in funding values for work which has been previously awarded. The Company made certain cost cutting measures during fiscal 2016 and 2017. The results of these cost savings will continue into future periods. Included in third quarter were approximately $0.3 million of costs related to the requirements of the Loan Amendment, and additional costs associated with the retention of the CRO. Going forward, we will continue to aggressively manage our controllable costs as needed based on the performance of the Company.
 
On March 31, 2017, the Company failed its  minimum quarterly consolidated EBITDA covenant set forth in the Amendment to the Loan Agreement, which constitutes an Event of Default under the Loan Agreement. On May 8, 2017, the Lender and the Company entered into a Second Amendment and Waiver pursuant to which the Lender provided a one-time waiver to this Event of Default effective as of May 5, 2017 in exchange for an amendment fee of $15,000.  As a result of this waiver, the warrants remain outstanding, but unexercisable, and the amendment fee may still be waived and forgiven subject to no further Events of Default and repayment of all obligations under the Loan Agreement prior to August 30, 2017.
 
 
 
 
 
For the three months ended April 1, 2016, Management identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting. The weakness arose because the Company did not maintain sufficient resources to provide the appropriate level of accounting knowledge and experience regarding certain complex, non-routine transactions and technical accounting matters and we lacked adequate controls regarding training in the relevant accounting guidance, review and documentation of such transactions, such as identifying the triggering factors for an impairment analysis, in accordance with GAAP. A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies in internal controls over financial reporting that results in a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. To address this weakness, the Company has developed a remediation plan under which it has retained, an independent accounting firm to provide expert advice to identify and account for non-routine, complex transactions and facilitate resolution of such issues. While the Company has developed and is implementing these substantive procedures, the material weakness will not be considered remediated until these improvements have been fully implemented, tested and are operating effectively for an adequate period of time. We cannot assure you that our efforts to fully remediate this internal control weakness will be successful. If we are not able to properly remediate the identified material weakness, we may not be able to identify errors in our financial statements on a timely basis, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. (See ITEM 4 - Controls and Procedures).

Three Months Ended March 31, 2017 compared to the Three Months Ended April 1, 2016
 
Gross revenue for the third quarter of fiscal 2017 was $25.3 million, a decrease of 31% compared to $36.5 million during the third quarter of the last fiscal year. This decrease is driven by lower revenue year over year on the DAFB project, down $6.5 million, PBR projects, down $2.2 million and VSS projects, was $2.1 million. In total, these three drivers accounted for a revenue decline of approximately $10.8 million. The DAFB project, as reported in previous periodic reports and earnings calls, was scheduled to scale back significantly from fiscal 2016 to fiscal 2017. In anticipation of that, we aggressively sought and have won higher margin work, such as our successful new initiative to obtain Petroleum, Oils and Lubricants (POL) work at various Air Force installations. The decline in the PBR program was also anticipated, as we moved into the later stages of an eight-year program. The program is currently scheduled to be completed in 2020. VSS suffered a delay in new orders caused in part, by the lack of a reseller agreement with Johnson Controls, Inc. (JCI) for critical equipment. A reseller agreement was signed in the beginning of the third quarter of fiscal 2017 and we expect increased new orders in subsequent quarters.
 
To offset some of those revenue decreases, we experienced contract revenue growth such as the contributions of approximately $1.6 million from the Andrews Air Force Base project, and work overseas in Iraq and Kuwait, all within the ECM segment. Within ESG, shoreline stabilization projects contributed $ 1.1 million and within PSG, staff augmentation services related to the 88th RSC project contributed $1.9 million.
 
Purchased services and materials for the third quarter of fiscal 2017 was $12.2 million, a decrease of 43% compared to $21.4 million during the third quarter of the last fiscal year. In general, as gross revenue declines on projects where Versar acts as the general contractor, such as the DAFB project, purchased services and materials will decline as well.
 
Direct costs of services and overhead for the third quarter of fiscal year 2017 were $11.1 million, a decrease of 22% compared to $14.4 million during the third quarter of the last fiscal year. Part of this decrease is a result of cost cutting measures within the PSG segment.
 
 
 
 
 
Gross profit for the third quarter of fiscal 2017 was $2.0 million, compared to a gross profit of $0.8 million during the third quarter of the previous fiscal year. Overall gross profit margin increased from 2% to 8%. VSS contributed gross profit of $1.0 million, off-set by the decline in our Title II work in Iraq and Afghanistan within the ECM segment and reduced gross profit from the decrease in gross profit for the DAFB project of $0.2 million. The margins on the DAFB project are lower than on other projects because it is a construction project for which we are the prime contractor. Versar sub-contracted much of the work, while earning a minor fee. However, as a result of the full integration of VSS, we expect to see increased margins from the additional projects in that technical service line and anticipate that such higher margins will off-set some of the margin compression resulting from the DAFB project. In addition, as the DAFB project progresses and becomes a smaller percentage of our overall revenue mix and as ESG’s recent project wins which we anticipate will have higher margins begin to ramp up, we expect to see margins improve.
 
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the third quarter of fiscal 2017 increased to 11% of gross revenue from 8% of gross revenue when compared to the third quarter of last fiscal year. Although increasing as a percentage of gross revenue, SG&A expenses remained consistent with the third quarter of last fiscal year in absolute dollars. Included in third quarter SG&A expenses were approximately $0.3 million related to the requirements of the amendment of the Loan Agreement. This includes costs associated with the addition of a Chief Restructuring Officer and the costs of the Lender's outside auditors and associated costs. Despite this additional expense, the Company continued to control indirect costs during the quarter, including a renegotiation of its office lease in Springfield, Virginia and rent savings from the consolidation of ESG and VSS offices in Germantown, Maryland.
 
Loss before income taxes, for the third quarter of fiscal 2017 was $1.5 million, compared to loss before income taxes, of $22.2 million for the third quarter of the last fiscal year. In the third quarter of fiscal 2016, the Company recorded $18.9 million in goodwill and intangible impairment charges. The loss is also attributable to the decline in revenue and gross profit.
 
Nine Months Ended March 31, 2017 compared to the Nine Months Ended April 1, 2016
 
Gross revenue for the first nine months of fiscal 2017 was $85.1 million, a decrease of 34% compared to $128.7 million during the first nine months of the last fiscal year. This decrease is driven by lower revenue year over year on the DAFB project, down $26.1 million, PBR projects, down $6.1 million, VSS projects, was $4.1 million, and a number of projects within ESG ending, down $2.8 million. In total, these four drivers accounted for a revenue decline of approximately $39.1 million. The DAFB project, as reported in previous periodic reports and earnings calls, was scheduled to scale back significantly from fiscal 2016 to fiscal 2017. In anticipation of that, we aggressively sought higher margin projects, such as the successful new initiative in POL work. The decline in the PBR program was also anticipated, as we moved into the later stages of an eight-year program. The program is scheduled to be completed in 2020. VSS suffered a delay in new orders caused in part, by the lack of a reseller agreement with JCI for critical equipment. As mentioned above, the reseller agreement was signed in the beginning of the third quarter of fiscal 2017 and we expect increased new orders in subsequent quarters.
 
To offset some of those revenue decrease drivers, we experienced contract revenue growth, such as the contributions of approximately $1.4 million in our Fort Belvoir project, $0.9 million from the Hanscom project, and $0.2 million of new construction management projects in Iraq and Kuwait, all within ECM. Within ESG, the shoreline stabilization projects contributed $2.9 million and PSG contributed $4.3 million for various staff augmentation services, including the recently awarded project with the 88th RSC, at $3.9 million.
 
Purchased services and materials for the first nine months of fiscal 2017 was $44.5 million, a decrease of 45% compared to $80.5 million during the first nine months of the last fiscal year. As gross revenue declines on projects where Versar acts as the general contractor, such as the DAFB project, purchased services and materials decline as well. Additionally, we experienced a one-time charge of $0.6 million for additional costs incurred to complete a fixed price project with the 88th RSC within our PSG segment.
 
Direct costs of services and overhead for the first nine months of fiscal 2017 were $34.8 million, a decrease of 16% compared to $41.5 million during the first nine months of the last fiscal year.
 
Gross profit for the first nine months of fiscal 2017 was $5.9 million, compared to a gross profit of $6.8 million during the first nine months of the previous fiscal year. Overall, gross profit increased from 5% to 7%. The increase in gross profit was largely attributable to the shift in the revenue mix. The margins on the DAFB project are lower than on other projects because it is a construction project for which we are the prime contractor. Versar sub-contracted much of the work, while earning a minor fee. However, as a result of the full integration of VSS, which has higher margins than the DAFB project, we expect to see increased overall margins from the additional number of projects in that technical service line and anticipate that such higher margins will off-set some of the margin compression resulting from the DAFB project. VSS contributed gross profit of $2.7 million, offset by the decrease in gross profit for the DAFB project of $0.4 million. In addition, as the DAFB project winds down and becomes a smaller percentage of our overall revenue mix and as ESG’s recent project wins (which we anticipate will have higher margins) begin to ramp up, we expect to see margins improve.
 
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the first nine months of fiscal 2017 increased to 11% of gross revenue from 7% of gross revenue. Although increasing as a percentage of revenue, when compared to the first nine months of last fiscal year, while SG&A expenses remained flat in absolute dollars. Included in nine months of SG&A expenses were approximately $0.9 million related to the requirements of the Loan Amendment which did not occur during the third quarter of the previous fiscal year. This includes costs associated with the retention of the CRO, and the costs of the Lender's outside auditors and fees associated with the Amendment. In addition, the Company paid for two fiscal 2017 audits totaling $0.7 million, of which $0.4 million were duplicate costs. Legal fees for the first nine months increased $0.6 million from fiscal 2016 due to various disputes and related matters that arose during the first nine months. Despite these additional expenses, the Company continued to control indirect costs during the quarter, including rent savings from consolidating ESG and VSS offices in Germantown, Maryland and renegotiating the Company's Springfield, Virginia office lease.
 
Loss, before income taxes, for the first nine months of fiscal 2017 was $4.2 million, compared to loss before income taxes, of $21.8 million for the first nine months of the last fiscal year. In the third quarter of fiscal 2016, the Company recorded $18.9 million in goodwill and intangible impairment charges. This loss is also attributable to the decline in revenue and gross profit as discussed above.
 
 
 
 
 
 
Backlog
 
We report “funded” backlog, which represents orders for goods and services for which firm contractual commitments have been received. As of March 31, 2017, funded backlog was approximately $151.5 million, an increase of 11% compared to approximately $136.0 million of backlog at the end of fiscal 2016. The increase in backlog was attributable to an improved contract awards environment.

 Three Months Ended March 31, 2017 compared to the Three Months Ended April 1, 2016
 
Gross revenue for the third quarter of fiscal 2017 was $12.4 million, a decrease of 48% compared to $24.0 million during the third quarter of fiscal 2016. The principal drivers of this decrease are the $6.6 million in lower revenues associated with the DAFB project, $2.1 million related to the lack of reseller agreement with JCI to purchase critical equipment within VSS and $0.3 million in work related to the Company’s subsidiary, PPS, which was divested in April 2017.
 
In addition, purchased services declined on multiple contracts, which lowered revenue from the comparative quarter. The Andrews Air Force Base project contributed approximately $1.6 million and work overseas in Iraq and Kuwait contributed approximately $3.5 million.
 
Gross profit was $0.6 million over the period, compared to a gross profit of $0.9 million during the third quarter of the last fiscal year. During the third quarter of fiscal 2017, overall profit margins increased from 4% to 5%. VSS contributed gross profit of $1.0 million as a result of changes in subcontractors used for the installation of equipment, off-set by the decline in our Title II work in Iraq and Afghanistan. We also incurred costs for several projects that will be recovered via negotiations for Requests for Equitable Adjustments (REA). Additionally, we experienced a decline in gross profit for the DAFB project as we negotiate with the client for contract modifications.
 
Nine Months Ended March 31, 2017 compared to the Nine Months Ended April 1, 2016
 
Gross revenue for the first nine months of fiscal 2017 was $47.5 million, a decrease of 45% compared to $85.9 million during the first nine months of the last fiscal year. The drivers of this decrease are the $26.1 million in lower revenues associated with the DAFB project, and $2.1 million related to the decrease in work at Mountain Home Air Force Base project, $2.7 million at the Laughlin Air Force Base Centralized Aircraft Support System project and $0.9 million in work related to our subsidiary, PPS, which was sold in April 2017.
 
The Hanscom project contributed revenues of $0.9 million, new Iraq and Kuwait construction management projects contributed revenues of $0.2 million, and $1.4 million on our Ft. Belvoir project.
 
Gross profit was $2.6 million over this period, compared to a gross profit of $3.9 million during the first nine months of the last fiscal year. During the first nine months of fiscal 2017, overall profit margins increased from 5% to  6%. VSS contributed gross profit of $2.7 million as a result of changes in subcontractors used for the installation of equipment, off-set by the reduced gross profit from the decrease in gross profit for the DAFB project of $0.4 million. We completed the work on Homestead project in the prior fiscal year and did not incur additional losses for the nine months ended March 31, 2017. We incurred costs on several projects which will be recovered via negotiations for an REA. The Company also experienced a decrease in gross profit from the continued wind-down in our Title II work in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2017 compared to the Three Months Ended April 1, 2016
 
Gross revenue for the third quarter of fiscal 2017 was $8.7 million, a increase of 5% compared to $8.3 million during the third quarter of the last fiscal year. This increase in revenue was due to a contract award for a commercial client $0.5 million, weather-related services for $0.4 million and increases in the shoreline projects of $1.1 million offset by the revenue decrease associated with the PBR program. The decline in PBR revenue is consistent with the expected program profile of the remaining period of performance through fiscal 2020. The PBR contract revenues also saw some timing impact due to work shifting to later quarters at a number of site locations.
 
Gross profit for the third quarter of fiscal 2017 was $0.9 million, compared to $0.2 million in the third quarter of the last fiscal year. During the third quarter of fiscal 2017, overall profit margins have increased from 3% to 10%. Related to cost savings initiatives implemented in fiscal 2016.
 
Nine Months Ended March 31, 2017 compared to the Nine Months Ended April 1, 2016
 
Gross revenue for the first nine months of fiscal 2017 was $24.8 million, a decrease of 14% compared to $28.8 million during the first nine months of the last fiscal year. This decrease in revenue was due to the completion of the significant contract at Ft. Irwin, the contract ending of numerous smaller size projects totaling $2.81 million and the revenue decrease associated with the PBR program. The decline in PBR revenue is consistent with the expected program profile of the remaining PBR period of performance through fiscal 2020. The PBR contract revenues also saw some timing impact due to work shifting to later quarters at a number of site locations. The revenue decline was partially offset by a contract award for $0.5 million from a commercial client, performance of weather-related services for $1.0 million, and increases in the shoreline stabilization projects of $2.9 million.
 
Gross profit for the first nine months of fiscal 2017 was $2.3 million, compared to $2.5 million in the first nine months of the last fiscal year. During the first nine months of fiscal 2017, overall profit margins have increased approximately one percentage point from 8.6% to 9.4%. This is a result of a mix shift in current project work towards higher gross profit projects. As a percentage of revenue, purchased services has declined and as work on the PBR program has declined.

 Three Months Ended March 31, 2017 compared to the Three Months Ended April 1, 2016
 
Gross revenue for the third quarter of fiscal 2017 was essentially flat at $4.2 million from the third quarter of the last fiscal year. Revenue increases in the Facilities Management Unit work of $0.1 million, Army Stationing and Installation Plan (ASIP) project of $0.1 million, and the staff augmentation services contract related to the 88th RSC project of $1.9 million have offset the decline in revenue due to the loss of several task orders in PSG’s historical business line. The segment continues to experience a decline in contract positions largely due to the continued shift by the U.S. Government to targeted solicitations to businesses that qualify for small business and similar set-aside programs.
 
Gross profit for the third quarter of fiscal 2017 was $0.4 million, compared to gross profit loss of $0.3 million in the third quarter of the last fiscal year. The improvement is a result of cost cutting measures in non-project related costs initiated during fiscal 2016.
 
Nine Months Ended March 31, 2017 compared to the Nine Months Ended April 1, 2016
 
Gross revenue for the first nine months of fiscal 2017 was $12.8 million, a decrease of 9% compared to $14.1 million during the first nine months of the last fiscal year. This decrease was due in part to a decrease in revenue from PSG’s historical business line as a result of the loss of several task orders. This decrease was partially offset by an increase in our Facilities Management Unit, ASIP project, and new project award for the 88th RSC staff augmentation project. The segment continues to experience a net decline in contract positions largely due to the continued shift by the U.S. Government to targeted solicitations to businesses that qualify for small business and similar set-aside programs.
 
Gross profit for the first nine months of fiscal 2017 was $0.9 million, compared to gross profit of $0.4 million in the first nine months of the last fiscal year, largely due to cost cutting measures in non-project related costs initiated during fiscal 2016. Additionally, we experienced a one-time charge of $0.6 million for additional costs to complete a fixed price project with the 88th RSC project. Overall, gross margin improved to 7% for the first nine months of the current fiscal year, compared to 3% for the prior fiscal year.
 
 
 

Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
On September 30, 2015, the Company, together with the Guarantors, entered into a loan with the Lender as the lender and letter of credit issuer for a revolving credit facility in the amount of $25.0 million and a term facility in the amount of $5.0 million.
 
The maturity date of the revolving credit facility is September 30, 2018 and the maturity date of the term facility was originally March 31, 2017 (the latter changed to September 30, 2017 by Amendment). The principal amount of the term facility amortizes in quarterly installments equal to $0.8 million with no penalty for prepayment. Interest initially accrued on the revolving credit facility and the term facility at a rate per year equal to the LIBOR Daily Floating Rate (as defined in the Loan Agreement) plus 1.95% and was payable in arrears on December 31, 2015 and on the last day of each quarter thereafter. Obligations under the Loan Agreement are guaranteed unconditionally and on a joint and several basis by the Guarantors and secured by substantially all of the assets of Versar and the Guarantors. The Loan Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants and during fiscal 2016 contained financial covenants related to the maintenance of a Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio, Consolidated Senior Leverage Ratio, Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio and Consolidated Asset Coverage Ratio.
 
During the third and fourth quarters of fiscal 2016, following discussion with the Lender, the Company determined that it was not in compliance with one or more of the Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio, Consolidated Senior Leverage Ratio, and Asset Coverage Ratio Covenants for the fiscal quarters ended January 1, 2016, April 1, 2016, and July 1, 2016. Each failure to comply with these covenants constituted a default under the Loan Agreement. On May 12, 2016, the Company, the Guarantors, and the Lender entered into a forbearance agreement pursuant to which the Lender agreed to forbear from exercising any and all rights or remedies available to it under the Loan Agreement and applicable law related to these defaults for a period ending on the earliest to occur of: (a) a breach by the Company of any obligation or covenant under the forbearance agreement, (b) any other default or event of default under the Loan Agreement or (c) June 1, 2016 (the Forbearance Period). Subsequently, the Company and the Lender entered into additional forbearance agreements to extend the Forbearance Period through December 9, 2016, and to allow the Company to borrow funds pursuant to the terms of the Loan Agreement, consistent with current Company needs as set forth in a 13-week cash flow forecast and subject to certain caps on revolving borrowings initially of $15.5 million and reducing to $13.0 million. In addition, from and after June 30, 2016, outstanding amounts under the credit facility bore interest at the default interest rate equal to the LIBOR Daily Floating Rate (as defined in the Loan Agreement) plus 3.95%. The Company is required to provide a 13-week cash flow forecast updated on a weekly basis to the Lender, and the Lender waived any provisions prohibiting the financing of insurance premiums for policies covering the period of July 1, 2016 to June 30, 2017 in the ordinary course of the Company’s business and in amounts consistent with past practices. The Lender has engaged an advisor to review the Company’s financial condition on the Lender’s behalf, and pursuant to the Forbearance Agreements and the Amendment, the Company must pursue alternative sources of funding for its ongoing business operations.
 
As of March 31, 2017 the available balance on the Company’s revolving credit facility was approximately $7.1 million.
 
On December 9, 2016 (the Closing Date), Versar, together with the Guarantors, entered into a First Amendment and Waiver to the Loan Agreement.
 
Under the Amendment, the Lender waived all existing events of default, and reduced the revolving facility to $13,000,000 from $25,000,000. The interest rate on borrowings under the revolving facility and the term facility will accrue at the LIBOR Daily Floating Rate plus 5.00% from LIBOR plus 1.87%. The Amendment added a covenant requiring Versar to maintain certain minimum quarterly consolidated EBITDA amounts. The Amendment also eliminated the Loan Agreement covenants requiring maintenance of a required consolidated total leverage ratio, consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio, consolidated senior leverage ratio and asset coverage ratio.
 
 
 
 
In addition to the foregoing, and subject to certain conditions regarding the use of cash collateral and other cash received to satisfy outstanding obligations under the Loan Agreement, the Amendment suspended all amortization payments under the term facility such that the entire amount of the term facility shall be due and payable on September 30, 2017. The original maturity date under the Loan Agreement was March 31, 2017. As consideration for the Amendment and the waiver of the existing events of default, Versar agreed to pay an amendment fee of .5% of the aggregate principal amount of the term facility outstanding as of November 30, 2016 plus the commitments under the revolving facility in effect as of the same date, which fee is due and payable on the earlier of a subsequent event of default or August 30, 2017. The Company paid $0.3 million in amendment fees in December 2016.
 
Finally, the Amendment continued the requirement for Versar to retain a CRO and recognized Versar’s ongoing efforts to work with the Lender and continued the requirements to engage a strategic financial advisor to assist with the structuring and consummation of a transaction, the purpose of which is the replacement or repayment in full of all obligations under the Loan Agreement.
 
On March 31, 2017, the Company failed its  minimum quarterly consolidated EBITDA covenant set forth in the Amendment to the Loan Agreement, which constitutes an Event of Default under the Loan Agreement. On May 8, 2017, the Lender and the Company entered into a Second Amendment and Waiver pursuant to which the Lender provided a one-time waiver to this Event of Default effective as of May 5, 2017 in exchange for an amendment fee of $15,000.  As a result of this waiver, the warrants remain outstanding, but unexercisable, and the amendment fee may still be waived and forgiven subject to no further Events of Default and repayment of all obligations under the Loan Agreement prior to August 30, 2017.
 
Our working capital as of March 31, 2017 was negative $8.5 million, compared to negative working capital at July 1, 2016 of $2.2 million. Our current ratio at March 31, 2017 was 0.77 compared to 0.96 at July 1, 2016. Our expected capital requirements for the full 2017 fiscal year is approximately $0.5 million, which will be funded through existing working capital. All payments related to the contingent consideration related to the VSS purchase (See Note 4 – Acquisition), over the next two years will also be funded through existing working capital.
 
The Company made certain cost cutting measures during fiscal 2016 and 2017 so that we could continue to operate within existing cash resources. We believe that our cash balance of $1.0 million at the end of March 31, 2017, our anticipated cash flows from ongoing operations and the funds available from our line of credit facility, will be sufficient to meet our working capital and liquidity needs during fiscal 2017. Going forward, the Company will continue to aggressively manage our cash flows and costs as needed based on the performance of the Company. Additionally, our surety broker has informed the Company that bonding for new work may be limited due to our accumulated deficit. The surety broker has requested that for all new bonds issued: i) a portion of the required bonds for future work be placed in a collateral account, and ii) establish a funds control account for each new project. A funds control account essentially eliminates the payment risk for the surety. The surety establishes a separate bank account in the Company’s name, oversees all of the payment disbursements from the Company, and delivers checks from each payment for the Company to distribute to their vendors working on the project. The surety essentially becomes the Company’s accounts payable back office. We continue to work with our surety broker and bonding companies to find ways to issue bonds.  As we commit to obtaining new financing our bonding capacity’s availability is also expected to increase.

ITEM 3 - Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk
 
We have not entered into any transactions using derivative financial instruments or derivative commodity instruments and we believe that our exposure to interest rate risk and other relevant market risk is not material.
 
ITEM 4 - Controls and Procedures
 
As of the last day of the period covered by this report, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-15. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that certain of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are not effective, as of such date, to ensure that required information will be disclosed on a timely basis in its reports under the Exchange Act as a result of the material weakness in internal control over financial reporting identified as discussed below.
 
Further, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are not effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed in reports filed by us under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, in a manner to allow timely decisions regarding the required disclosure.
 
There were no changes in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31, 2017 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
