NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
1. Basis of Presentation:
SRA International, Inc., a Virginia corporation, or SRA or the Company, was acquired on July 20, 2011 by private equity investment funds, or the PEP Funds, sponsored by Providence Equity Partners L.L.C., or Providence, collectively referred to as the Transaction. SRA is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sterling Parent LLC, or Sterling Parent, which is wholly-owned by Sterling Holdco Inc., or Sterling Holdco, or collectively, the Parent. The Parent was formed by the PEP Funds for the purpose of the Transaction.
Due to the change in control on July 20, 2011, the Company’s assets and liabilities were recorded at fair value. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are presented as Predecessor or Successor, to indicate whether they relate to the period preceding the Transaction or the period succeeding the Transaction, respectively.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of SRA and its wholly-owned subsidiaries and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or GAAP. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the annual financial statements, which are also prepared in accordance with GAAP, have been omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations. The Company believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.
In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments and reclassifications that are necessary for fair presentation of the periods presented. The results for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012 included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 17, 2012.
Nature of Business
The Company provides technology and strategic consulting services and solutions primarily to U.S. government clients. The Company provides services, systems, and solutions that enable mission performance, improve efficiency of operations, and/or reduce operating costs. The Company has a portfolio of clients and is organized around them into four business groups: Civil, Defense, Health, and Intelligence, Homeland Security and Law Enforcement.
Operating segments are components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker in allocating resources and in assessing performance. Due to the similarities in the types of customers, services and overall economic characteristics of the Company’s four business groups, the Company aggregates all of its operations into one reportable segment.
The Company derives a substantial portion of its revenue from services provided as a prime contractor or subcontractor on engagements with various agencies of the U.S. government. These contracts represented approximately 98% of the Company’s revenue for all periods presented. The Company considers individual agencies that may fall under a larger department as separate customers. No customer accounted for 10% or more of the Company’s revenue for any of the periods presented.
Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market in an orderly transaction between marketplace participants. Various valuation approaches can be used to determine fair value, each requiring different valuation inputs. The following hierarchy classifies the inputs used to determine fair value into three levels:
• | Level 1 – Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets |
• | Level 2 – Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets |
• | Level 3 – Valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable |

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
(Continued)
The Company’s financial instruments include cash, trade and note receivables, equity investments, vendor payables and debt, as well as derivative financial instruments to manage risk related to its debt. As of June 30, 2012 and March 31, 2013, the carrying value of cash, trade receivables, note receivables, equity investments, and vendor payables approximated their fair value. See Note 7 for a discussion of the fair value of the Company’s debt. See Note 8 for a discussion of the fair value of the Company’s derivative financial instruments.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, issued Accounting Standards Update 2013-02, or ASU 2013-02, an update to Comprehensive Income. This update requires the presentation and disclosure of reclassification adjustments out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income, or AOCI, in a single note or on the face of the financial statements. This update is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2012, or the Company’s fiscal 2014. The adoption of this ASU will not have an impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flow.
2. Acquisition of MorganFranklin Corporation’s National Security Solutions Division
On December 16, 2012, the Company completed an asset purchase of MorganFranklin Corporation’s National Security Solutions division, or NSS, for approximately $34.2 million. The acquisition was financed with borrowings under the Company’s revolving credit facility and cash on hand. The purchase price is subject to adjustment based on a determination of the final net working capital as of the acquisition date. NSS specializes in providing high-end command, control, communications, computer, intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance, or C4ISR, intelligence analysis and cyber security services and solutions.
The preliminary purchase price allocation resulted in goodwill of $20.3 million and identified intangible assets of $10.0 million. The goodwill and identified intangible assets are deductible for income tax purposes. The identified intangible assets consist of customer relationships which will be amortized over estimated useful lives of 10 years. The purchase price allocation is preliminary and subject to adjustment within the measurement period, which ends no later than one year from the date of the acquisition. The Company expects to complete the purchase price allocation upon resolution of the post-closing working capital adjustment.
3. Discontinued Operations/Divestitures:
The Company’s discontinued operations in fiscal 2012 consisted of Era Systems LLC, or Era, and Global Clinical Development, or GCD. The Company has not reported any discontinued operations in fiscal 2013.
Era Systems LLC (formerly Era Systems Corporation)
On November 21, 2011, the Company sold the foreign air traffic management and military and security component of its Era business for approximately $13.3 million in cash. The Company incurred $2.8 million of costs to dispose of the business, including severance. As the carrying value of Era was adjusted to the fair value less costs to sell in Transaction purchase accounting, the transaction did not result in any gain or loss on sale for financial reporting purposes. The Company agreed to certain customary indemnification obligations subject to limitations. The general indemnification period expired in November 2012; however, fraud and tax indemnifications last longer.
The results of operations for the Era business are included in discontinued operations. For the three months ended March 31, 2012, the period from July 1, 2011 through July 20, 2011 and the period from July 21, 2011 through March 31, 2012, Era contributed net losses of $0.2 million, $1.3 million and $4.6 million, respectively. As of June 30, 2012, less than $0.1 million of net assets remained related to Era. As of March 31, 2013, no net assets remained related to Era.
Global Clinical Development
On September 30, 2011, the Company sold its contract research organization, GCD. This transaction did not result in any gain or loss on sale for financial reporting purposes as the carrying value of GCD was adjusted to the fair value less costs to sell in the Transaction purchase price allocation. The general indemnification period expired in September 2012; however, fraud and tax indemnifications last longer.
The results of operations for the GCD business are included in discontinued operations. For the three months ended March 31, 2012, the period from July 1, 2011 through July 20, 2011 and the period from July 21, 2011 through March 31, 2012, GCD contributed a net loss of $0.1 million, net income of $0.2 million and a net loss of $0.1 million, respectively. As of June 30, 2012, approximately $0.2 million of net assets remained related to GCD. As of March 31, 2013, no net assets remained related to GCD.

4. Stock-Based Compensation:
The Sterling Holdco Board of Directors adopted a stock incentive plan in February 2012, amended in December 2012, or the 2012 Plan, that authorizes the issuance of up to 61,262 shares of common stock of Sterling Holdco in the form of options. Under the 2012 Plan, key employees, non-employee directors and consultants of the Company may be granted a combination of service and performance options. The performance options are considered market-based for accounting purposes. The Company utilizes the Black-Scholes-Merton model to value the service options and the binomial lattice model to value the performance options.
The service options generally vest in five equal installments subject to the option holder’s continued employment or service with the Company. The performance options vest at the time of a change in control based upon the cash return to the PEP Funds from its investment in the Company. The service and performance options expire ten years from the date of grant.

The Company recognized stock-based compensation expense related to the stock options and restricted stock of $0.6 million and $0.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and March 31, 2013, respectively, and $0.6 million and $2.5 million for the period from July 21, 2011 through March 31, 2012 and the nine months ended March 31, 2013, respectively. The tax benefit recognized for stock-based compensation cost was $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and March 31, 2013, and $0.2 million and $0.9 million for the period from July 21, 2011 through March 31, 2012 and the nine months ended March 31, 2013, respectively. The total amount of unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested stock-based compensation arrangements was $9.8 million as of March 31, 2013 and is expected to be amortized over a weighted average of 3.6 years. The compensation expense will be recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period.

7. Debt:
On July 20, 2011, in connection with the Transaction, the Company (i) entered into senior secured credit facilities, consisting of an $875.0 million Term Loan B Facility and a $100.0 million Revolver, or the Credit Agreement, and (ii) issued $400.0 million aggregate principal amount of 11% Senior Notes. The Term Loan B Facility was issued at a discount of $8.75 million.
At June 30, 2012 and March 31, 2013, debt consisted of the following (in thousands):
June 30, | March 31, | |||||||
2012 | 2013 | |||||||
Secured Term Loan B Facility | $ | 735,000 | $ | 715,000 | ||||

Current portion of long-term debt | - | - | ||||||
Long-term debt | $ | 1,127,521 | $ | 1,108,371 |
As of March 31, 2013, the fair value of the Company’s debt approximated carrying value.
The senior secured credit facilities and the indenture governing the Senior Notes issued in connection with the Transaction limit the Company’s ability to incur certain additional indebtedness, pay dividends or make other distributions or repurchase capital stock, make certain investments, enter into certain types of transactions with affiliates, use assets as security in other transactions, and sell certain assets.
The Company is required to meet a net senior secured leverage ratio, or NSSLR, covenant quarterly if any revolving loan, swing-line loan or letter of credit is outstanding on the last day of the quarter. The Company had no outstanding debt, letters of credit or borrowings under its Revolver as of June 30, 2012 and March 31, 2013. If the Company had any borrowings on its Revolver, it would have been required to maintain a NSSLR of less than or equal to 5.75x as of March 31, 2013. The NSSLR requirement decreases over time to 4.5x as of June 30, 2016. The ratio is calculated as the consolidated net secured indebtedness as of the last day of the quarter (defined as the consolidated net debt secured by any lien minus any cash and permitted investments) to the preceding four quarters’ consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the Credit Agreement). The Company’s NSSLR was 3.6x as of June 30, 2012 and 3.4x as of March 31, 2013. As of March 31, 2013, the Company was in compliance with all of its covenants.

Senior Secured Credit Facilities
Borrowings under the senior secured credit facilities bear interest at a rate equal to an applicable margin plus London Interbank Offered Rate, or LIBOR, with a 1.25% floor, or, at the Company’s option, an applicable margin plus an alternative base rate determined by reference to the higher of the prime rate or the federal funds rate plus 0.5%, with a 2.25% floor. In addition to paying interest on outstanding principal under the senior secured credit facilities, the Company pays a per annum commitment fee on undrawn amounts under the revolving credit facility and customary administrative fees. The senior secured credit facilities are guaranteed by the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries and by Sterling Parent. The Term Loan B Facility matures in July 2018 and the Revolver matures in July 2016.
In addition, the senior secured credit facilities require the Company to prepay outstanding term loans, subject to certain exceptions, in the case of excess cash flow, or ECF, and in the event of certain asset sales, condemnation events and issuances of debt. The Company is required to make annual payments equal to 75% of ECF, with a reduction to 50% based upon achievement of a net senior secured leverage ratio of less than 3.5x, 25% if less than 2.75x and zero if less than 2.0x. Any required ECF payments are due on October 15 each year. The Company repaid $140.0 million of its Term Loan B Facility in fiscal 2012, which satisfied all of the Company’s required quarterly principal payments and required ECF principal payments for fiscal 2012. The Company has repaid $20.0 million of its Term Loan B Facility in fiscal 2013. The Company does not believe any additional fiscal 2013 ECF payments will be required on its Term Loan B Facility.
The $8.75 million Term Loan B Facility original issue discount is being amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method and added to the recorded debt amount over the seven year term of the loan. During the three months ended March 31, 2012 and for the period from July 21, 2011 through March 31, 2012, $0.3 million and $0.9 million, respectively, of the original issue discount, were amortized and reflected in interest expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. During the three and nine months ended March 31, 2013, $0.2 million and $0.9 million, respectively, of the original issue discount were amortized and reflected in interest expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
Costs incurred in connection with the issuance of the debt are amortized using the effective interest method over the life of the related debt and accelerated to the extent that any payment is made. During the three months ended March 31, 2012 and March 31, 2013, $1.6 million and $1.4 million, respectively, of debt issuance costs were amortized and reflected in interest expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. During the period from July 21, 2011 through March 31, 2012 and the nine months ended March 31, 2013, $4.4 million of debt issuance costs were amortized and reflected in interest expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Due to the payments in the first quarter, the Company accelerated a proportional amount of the amortization of the debt issuance costs and original issue discount totaling $0.1 million for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2013, and approximately $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and the period from July 21, 2011 through March 31, 2012.
For the three and nine months ended March 31, 2013, interest accrued at an average rate of 6.5% for the senior secured credit facilities. Interest payments of $0.2 million and $24.5 million were made in the three and nine months ended March 31, 2013, respectively, including $0.2 million and $0.5 million, of commitment fees for the same periods. Accrued interest was $11.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and was subsequently paid in April.
Senior Notes due 2019
The Senior Notes due 2019 are guaranteed by all of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries. The guarantees are full and unconditional and joint and several. Each of the subsidiary guarantors are 100% owned by the Company and have no independent assets or operations.
Interest on the Senior Notes is payable semi-annually. The Senior Notes are redeemable in whole or in part, at the option of the Company, at varying redemption prices that generally include premiums. In addition, until October 1, 2014, the Company may, at its option redeem up to 35% of the then outstanding aggregate principal amount of the Senior Notes with the net cash proceeds from certain equity offerings at a redemption price equal to 111% of the aggregate principal amount thereof.
As of June 30, 2012 and March 31, 2013, interest accrued at an average rate of 11.0% for the Senior Notes. The Company paid $30.7 million of interest related to the Senior Notes in the three months ended March 31, 2012 and for the period from July 21, 2011 through March 31, 2012. The Company paid $22.0 million of interest related to the Senior Notes in the nine months ended March 31, 2013. Accrued interest was $22.0 million for the six month period ended March 31, 2013 and was subsequently paid in April.

8. Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities:
Hedge of Interest Rate Risk
Risk Management Objective of Using Derivatives
The Company utilizes derivative financial instruments to manage interest rate risk related to its Term Loan B Facility.
Cash Flow Hedges of Interest Rate Risk
The Company’s objectives in using interest rate derivatives are to add stability to interest expense and to manage its exposure to interest rate movements. To accomplish this objective, the Company uses interest rate swaps as part of its interest rate risk management strategy. During the Successor periods, such derivatives were used to hedge the variable cash flows associated with existing variable-rate debt. As of June 30, 2012 and March 31, 2013, the Company had outstanding interest rate derivatives with an initial combined notional value of $725.0 million and $650.0 million, respectively, which were designated as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk. The interest rate swap derivatives decrease over time to a notional value of $475.0 million upon maturity in July 2016.
The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges is recorded in AOCI, net of taxes, and is subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period that the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings. The ineffective portion of the change in fair value of the derivatives is recognized directly in earnings. Amounts reported in AOCI related to derivatives will be reclassified to interest expense as interest payments are made on the Company’s variable-rate debt. During the next twelve months, the Company estimates that approximately $3.8 million will be reclassified from AOCI into interest expense.
Fair Values of Derivative Instruments on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets
The fair value of the Company’s derivative financial instruments, determined using Level 2 inputs (see Note 1), was $19.8 million and $21.8 million as of June 30, 2012 and March 31, 2013, respectively. The current portion is included in accounts payable and accrued expenses and the long-term portion is included in other long-term liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
The Company utilizes a third-party pricing service to assist with determining the fair values for its interest rate swaps. The Company performs procedures to corroborate the values provided by the pricing service including regular discussions to understand the pricing service’s methodology and a review of the service provider’s Statement on Standards for Attestation Engagements No. 16, or SSAE 16, report.

Credit Risk-Related Contingent Features
The Company has agreements with each of its interest rate swap counterparties that contain a provision providing that the Company could be declared in default on its derivative obligations if payment of the underlying indebtedness is accelerated by the lender due to the Company's default on the indebtedness.
As of June 30, 2012 and March 31, 2013, the fair value of the interest rate swaps in a net liability position, which includes accrued interest but excludes any adjustment for nonperformance risk related to these agreements, was $23.3 million and $24.8 million, respectively. If the Company had breached any of the provisions of the agreements at March 31, 2013, it could have been required to settle its obligations under the agreements at an estimated termination value equal to the fair value of $24.8 million. As of March 31, 2013, the Company had not breached any of the provisions or posted any collateral related to these agreements.
9. Commitments and Contingencies:
Government Contracting
The Company is subject to investigations and reviews relating to compliance with various laws and regulations. U.S. Government agencies, including the Defense Contract Audit Agency, or DCAA, and the Defense Contract Management Agency, or DCMA, routinely audit and review a contractor’s performance on government contracts; accounting, estimating, and other management internal control systems; indirect rates and pricing practices; and compliance with applicable contracting and procurement laws, regulations and standards, including U.S. Government Cost Accounting Standards.
The Company’s receipt of adverse audit findings or the failure to obtain an “adequate” determination of its various accounting, estimating, and other management internal control systems from the responsible U.S. Government agency could significantly and adversely affect its business, including its ability to bid on new contracts and its competitive position in the bidding process. The government also may decrement billings until cited deficiencies are corrected and a follow-up review has been performed by DCAA confirming corrective actions are adequate.
The DCAA has not completed audits of the Company’s incurred cost submissions for fiscal 2007 and subsequent fiscal years. DCAA’s more aggressive interpretations could result in a higher percentage of questioned costs than experienced in the past. The Company has recorded financial results subsequent to fiscal 2006 based upon costs that the Company believes will be approved upon final audit or review. DCAA is currently in the final stages of completing a review of the Company’s accounting system and its audit of incurred costs for fiscal 2007. If these audits result in adverse findings that exceed the Company’s estimates, it may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Litigation
The Company is subject to investigations, audits and reviews relating to compliance with various laws and regulations with respect to its role as a contractor to agencies and departments of the U.S. Government, state, local, and foreign governments, and otherwise in connection with performing services in countries outside of the United States. Such matters can lead to criminal, civil or administrative proceedings and the Company could be faced with penalties, fines, payments or compensatory damages. Adverse findings could also have a material adverse effect on the Company because of its reliance on government contracts. The Company is subject to periodic audits by state, local, and foreign governments for taxes other than income taxes. The Company is also involved in various claims, arbitrations and lawsuits arising in the normal conduct of its business, including but not limited to bid protests, various employment litigation matters, contractual disputes and charges before administrative agencies. Although the Company can give no assurance, based upon its evaluation and taking into account the advice of legal counsel, the Company does not believe that the outcome of any such matter would likely have a material adverse effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
On April 7, 2011, the Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority, or SEPTA, filed a lawsuit in the Court of Chancery of Delaware (captioned S.E. Pa. Trans. Auth. v. Volgenau, et. al, Case No. 6354 (Del. Ch.)) purportedly on behalf of itself and other stockholders of the Company against the Company, the Board of Directors, Providence, Sterling Holdco Inc., or Sterling Holdco, Sterling Merger Inc., a Delaware corporation, or Merger Sub, and Sterling Parent Inc., a Delaware corporation, or Parent. On April 29, 2011, SEPTA filed an amended complaint and filed a second amended complaint on June 23, 2011, both of which also named the PEP Funds. The second amended complaint alleges, among other things, (1) that the Board breached its fiduciary duties by, among other things, failing to take steps to maximize the value of the merger consideration to its public stockholders and conveying substantial payments to existing officers of the Company, Providence, Sterling Holdco, Parent and Merger Sub at the unfair expense of the public stockholders and by failing to make certain disclosures, (2) that Dr. Ernst Volgenau breached his duty of loyalty and entire fairness in planning, structuring, and timing the merger to benefit himself as well as Providence, Sterling Holdco, Parent and Merger Sub, and that Dr. Stanton Sloane breached his duty of loyalty and entire fairness by using his position as chief executive officer to encourage and facilitate the buyout, (3) that Providence, the PEP Funds, Sterling Holdco, Parent and Merger Sub aided and abetted these purported breaches of fiduciary duties, and (4) that Dr. Volgenau’s rolling over of a portion of his shares for equity in the new Company violated the Company’s charter. The second amended complaint seeks to rescind the Transaction or recover money damages on behalf of the Company’s stockholders caused by the alleged breaches of fiduciary duties. On December 23, 2011, defendants answered the second amended complaint, and discovery is underway. Pending before the court are: (1) the Company’s motion for judgment on the pleadings with respect to SEPTA’s claim that Dr. Volgenau’s rollover violated the Company’s charter; and (2) defendants three separate motions for summary judgment filed on December 21, 2012. Plaintiff’s answer to the Company’s motion for summary judgment was filed on January 29, 2013. The court heard oral arguments to the pending motions for summary judgment on April 4, 2013, and depending on the disposition of these motions, trial is scheduled for August 2013.

On April 25, 2011, Andrei Sinioukov filed a lawsuit in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia (captioned Sinioukov v. SRA Int’l, Inc., et al, Civil Action No. 1:11-cv-447 (E.D. Va. filed Apr. 25, 2011)), purportedly on behalf of himself and other stockholders of the Company, against the Company, the Board of Directors, Providence, Parent and Merger Sub. The complaint alleges, among other things, (1) that the Board breached its fiduciary duties by, among other things, failing to take steps to maximize the value of the merger consideration to the Company’s public stockholders and providing inadequate proxy disclosures, (2) that the Company and Providence aided and abetted these purported breaches of fiduciary duties, and (3) that the Board and Providence made inadequate proxy disclosures under section 14(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and that they are liable under a derivative section 20 (a) control person theory).
On May 20, 2011, the Eastern District of Virginia granted defendants’ motion to stay the Sinioukov case in favor of the substantially identical SEPTA lawsuit pending in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware. On July 14, 2011, the Eastern District of Virginia denied the Sinioukov plaintiff’s motion to lift the stay imposed by the court on May 20, 2011 and refused to enjoin the special meeting of stockholders of the Company in respect of the Transaction from proceeding.
The Company and its Board of Directors believe that the above lawsuits are without merit and intend to defend them vigorously.
10. Facility Exit Costs:
During fiscal 2012, the Company initiated activities to consolidate and exit certain underutilized leased facilities as well as sublease excess space. The Company exited underutilized office space in several of its leased facilities. The Company recognized a total facility exit charge of $4.4 million during fiscal 2012, which was included in selling, general and administrative expenses on the condensed consolidated statement of operations. Of this total, approximately $4.2 million related to remaining lease commitments and was net of estimated sublease income. Future lease payments will continue to be made through the end of the lease terms, with the latest expiring in fiscal 2016.
In fiscal 2013, the Company initiated activities to consolidate and exit additional underutilized leased facilities. The Company recognized a facility exit charge of $2.7 million and $4.0 million during the three and nine months ended March 31, 2013, respectively, which was included in selling, general and administrative expenses on the condensed consolidated statement of operations; future lease payments will continue to be made through the end of the lease terms, with the latest expiring in fiscal 2025.
In determining the fair value of the facility exit charge, the Company made estimates related to potential sublease income and future exit costs. If the actual amounts differ from the Company’s estimates, the amount of the facility exit charge could be impacted.
The following is a summary of the accrued facility exit charge (in thousands). The current portion is included in accounts payable and accrued expenses and the long-term portion is included in other long-term liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

11. Related Party Transactions:
In accordance with the Transaction, Providence provides the Company with advisory, consulting, and other services for which the Company pays Providence an annual management fee. In addition to the management fee, the Company is responsible for expenses incurred by Providence in connection with its performance of oversight services. The Company incurred $0.4 million and $0.7 million in management fees and expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and March 31, 2013, respectively, and $1.2 million and $2.1 million for the period from July 21, 2011 through March 31, 2012 and the nine months ended March 31, 2013, respectively.
As of June 30, 2012, a Providence affiliate owned $11.7 million of the Company’s Term Loan B Facility. As of March 31, 2013, the Providence affiliate had sold all of its interest in the Company’s Term Loan B Facility. Interest payments of approximately $0.4 million and less than $0.1 million were made for this portion of the Term Loan B Facility during the three months ended March 31, 2012 and March 31, 2013, respectively, and $0.7 million and $0.4 million for the period from July 21, 2011 through March 31, 2012 and the nine months ended March 31, 2013, respectively.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The discussion and analysis that follows is organized to:
· | provide an overview of our business; |
· | describe selected key metrics evaluated by management; |
· | explain the year-over-year trends in our results of operations; |
· | describe our liquidity and capital resources; and |
· | explain our critical accounting policies and estimates. |
Readers who are not familiar with our company or the financial statements of federal government information technology, or IT, service providers should closely review the "Description of Critical Accounting Estimates," and the "Description of Statement of Operations Items," sections included in our annual report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 17, 2012. These sections provide background information that can help readers understand and analyze our financial information.
Overview
We are a leading provider of technology and strategic consulting services and solutions primarily to U.S. federal government organizations. Founded in 1978, we are dedicated to solving complex problems for our clients by providing IT services, systems and solutions that enable mission performance, improve efficiency of operations or reduce operating costs. Our service offerings include systems design, development and integration; cyber security and information assurance; outsourcing and managed services and strategic consulting. We currently serve more than 250 federal government organizations, across national security, civil government and health markets, many of which we have served for over 20 years. Together, these organizations represent approximately 98% of our revenue for all periods presented. For the twelve months ended March 31, 2013 our revenue was $1,565.8 million and Adjusted EBITDA, as calculated in accordance with our credit agreement, was $200.7 million. For a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to loss from continuing operations, see the section entitled “Items Affecting the Comparability of our Operating Results.”
On March 31, 2011, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with affiliates of Providence Equity Partners L.L.C., or Providence, and on July 20, 2011 we became an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Sterling Holdco Inc., or Sterling Holdco, which is controlled by the PEP Funds, which we refer to as the Transaction. The PEP Funds refer collectively to Providence Equity Partners VI LP, or PEP Fund VI, and Providence Equity Partners VI-A LP, or PEP Fund VI-A, each an affiliate of Providence.
Presentation
The accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations and cash flows are presented for the Predecessor and the Successor, which relate to the period from July 1, 2011 to July 20, 2011 and all periods preceding July 1, 2011 (preceding the Transaction) and the period from July 21, 2011 to March 31, 2012 and all periods succeeding July 21, 2011 (succeeding the Transaction), respectively.
Forward-Looking Statements
Some of the statements under “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and elsewhere in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify these statements by forward-looking words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “potential,” “should,” “will,” and “would” or similar words. You should read statements that contain these words carefully because they discuss our future expectations, contain projections of our future results of operations or of our financial position, or state other forward-looking information. We believe that it is important to communicate our future expectations to our investors. However, there may be events in the future that we are not able to predict accurately or control. The factors listed in the “Risk Factors” section of our annual report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, on August 17, 2012 and in our quarterly report on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on November 7, 2012, as well as any cautionary language in Part II. Item 1A. in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, provide some, but not all possible examples of risks, uncertainties and events that may cause our actual results to differ materially from the expectations we describe in our forward-looking statements.
16 |
Factors or risks that could cause our actual results to differ materially from the results we anticipate include, but are not limited to:
· | reduced spending levels and changing budget priorities of our largest customer, the United States federal government, which accounts for approximately 98% of our revenue; |
· | failure of our customer to fund a contract or exercise options to extend contracts, or our inability to successfully execute awarded contracts; |
· | automatic across-the-board spending cuts to civil and defense programs as a result of the sequester; |
· | limitations as a result of our substantial indebtedness which could adversely affect our financial health, operational flexibility and strategic plans; |
· | failure to generate cash sufficient to pay the principal of, interest on, or other amounts due on our debt; |
· | failure to comply with complex laws and regulations, including but not limited to, the False Claims Act, the Federal Acquisition Regulation, the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement and the U.S. Government Cost Accounting Standards; |
· | possible delays or overturning of our government contract awards due to bid protests, loss of contract revenue or diminished opportunities based on the existence of organizational conflicts of interest or failure to perform by other companies on which we depend to deliver products and services; |
· | security threats, attacks or other disruptions on our information infrastructure, and failure to comply with complex network security and data privacy legal and contractual obligations or to protect sensitive information; |
· | inability or failure to adequately protect our proprietary information or intellectual property rights or violation of third party intellectual rights; |
· | potential for significant economic or personal liabilities resulting from failures, errors, delays or defects associated with products, services and systems we supply; |
· | adverse changes in federal government practices; |
· | pricing pressure on new work, reduced profitability or loss of market share due to intense competition and commoditization of services we offer; |
· | adverse results of audits and investigations conducted by the Defense Contract Audit Agency or any of the Inspectors General for various agencies with which we contract, including, without limitation, any determination that our purchasing, property, estimating, cost accounting, labor, billing, compensation, management information systems or contractor internal control systems are deficient; |
· | difficulties accurately estimating contract costs and contract performance requirements; |
· | possible impairment of goodwill and trade names as a result of budget pressures and reduced U.S. federal government spending; |
· | challenges attracting and retaining key personnel or high-quality employees, particularly those with security clearances; |
· | failure to manage acquisitions or divestitures successfully, including identifying, evaluating, and valuing acquisition targets, integrating acquired companies, losses associated with divestitures, and the inability to effect divestitures at attractive prices and on a desired timeline; |
· | possible future losses that exceed our insurance coverage; |
· | pending litigation and any resulting expenses, payments or sanctions, including but not limited to penalties, compensatory damages or suspension or debarment from future government contracting; and |
· | the effect of our acquisition by entities affiliated with Providence on our business relationships, operating results and business generally. |
Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements. You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which apply only as of the date of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. Subsequent events and developments may cause our views to change. While we may elect to update these forward-looking statements at some point in the future, we specifically disclaim any obligation to do so.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We have prepared our discussion of the results of operations by comparing the mathematical combination of the Successor and Predecessor period in the nine months ended March 31, 2012 to the results of operations for the nine months ended March 31, 2013. Although the combination of the Predecessor income statement for the period from July 1, 2011 to July 20, 2011 with the Successor income statement for the period from July 21, 2011 to March 31, 2012 does not comply with generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, we believe that it provides a meaningful method of comparison. We have also prepared our discussion of all operating metrics based on the combination of Successor and Predecessor results in the nine months ended March 31, 2012 compared to the Successor results in the nine months ended March 31, 2013. We believe this combination of results for the Predecessor entity and Successor entity periods facilitates an investor’s understanding of our results of operations and changes in our results of operations by making the two periods more comparable. This combination should not be used in isolation or substituted for the separate Predecessor entity and Successor entity results, nor do the combined results reflect our Predecessor results on a comparative or pro forma basis.
Adjusted EBITDA and gross contribution presented in this section are supplemental measures that are not required by, or presented in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP measures are not measurements of our financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as alternatives to revenue, net income, operating income, or any other performance measure derived in accordance with GAAP. In addition, our calculations of these non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to that of other companies. We believe these measure are frequently used by securities analysts, investors, and other interested parties in the evaluation of high-yield issuers, many of which present Adjusted EBITDA and gross contribution when reporting their results. These non-GAAP measures have limitations as analytical tools and you should not consider them in isolation, or as substitutes for analysis of our operating results as reported under GAAP.
Business Environment and Outlook
We generate approximately 98% of our revenue from services provided as a prime contractor or subcontractor on engagements with various agencies of the U.S. federal government. Accordingly, our business performance is affected by the overall level of U.S. federal government spending. The U.S. federal government continues to face fiscal and economic challenges, which have created increasing pressure to examine and reduce spending across all federal agencies.
The Budget Control Act of 2011, or the Act, committed the U.S. federal government to significantly reduce the federal deficit over ten years. The Act established caps on discretionary spending through 2021 and it also contained a sequester mechanism that imposed automatic spending cuts of $1.2 trillion split between defense and non-defense programs over a nine-year period. The sequester, which took effect on March 1, 2013, imposed $85 billion of automatic budget cuts in government fiscal year 2013. Although the Office of Management and Budget recently issued guidance on the implementation of the sequester, the impact the sequester will have on contractors supporting the U.S. federal government remains uncertain.
On March 26, 2013, the President signed into law the Consolidated and Further Continuing Appropriations Act, 2013, or the 2013 Act, which funds discretionary programs through the end of the U.S. federal government’s fiscal year, or September 30, 2013. Additionally, the 2013 Act included specific appropriations for certain government agencies, including the Department of Defense and the Department of Homeland Security, and implemented $85 billion of sequester cuts. Agencies and departments not covered by these specific appropriations continue to operate under a continuing resolution. During a continuing resolution, funding on existing contracts is generally limited to prior government fiscal year levels and new programs are not funded until an appropriations bill or its equivalent is enacted.
U.S. federal government spending is under pressure and the environment has adversely impacted our fiscal 2013 financial performance. The budget uncertainty has delayed contract awards and increased competition and pricing pressures leading to margin erosion. There has also been an increase in bid protests causing further delay of contract awards.
18 |
Despite the uncertainties affecting the government contracting industry, we believe we are positioned to gain market share and achieve long-term growth. We expect the federal government to make continued investments in areas such as cyber security, operating efficiency, C4ISR, and health care system modernization, and to continue supporting the intelligence community as well as special forces capabilities. We have made additional investments of over $20 million in business development, capture and proposal activities since fiscal 2011, while reducing our overall selling, general and administrative, or SG&A, costs through reductions in our indirect labor force, consolidation and reconfiguration of underutilized office space, and reduction of fringe benefits.
Recent Contract Developments
In October, we were informed that we did not win the re-compete for the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, or the FDIC contract. Shortly thereafter we protested the award to a competitor and the government took corrective action. We submitted a new proposal to the government in March 2013 and are awaiting an award decision. The existing contract is funded through the end of fiscal 2013. The FDIC contract accounted for approximately $76 million, or 7%, of revenue and approximately $11 million, or 4%, of gross contribution, or revenue less cost of services, in the nine months ended March 31, 2013.
Discontinued Operations
During fiscal 2011, we made the decision to divest our Era Systems, or Era, and Global Clinical Development, or GCD, businesses. We sold the airport operations solutions, or AOS, component of Era in the second quarter of fiscal 2011 and Era’s foreign air traffic management and military and security component in the second quarter of fiscal 2012. We also sold the GCD business in the first quarter of fiscal 2012. In connection with the sale transactions, we agreed to certain customary indemnification obligations. The general indemnification periods have expired, however, fraud and tax indemnifications last longer.
The Era and GCD businesses are presented as discontinued operations. All financial data contained herein are from continuing operations unless otherwise specified.
Key Metrics
We manage and assess the performance of our business by evaluating a variety of metrics. Selected key metrics are discussed below.
Contract Backlog
Our future growth is dependent upon the strength of our target markets, our ability to identify opportunities, and our ability to successfully bid and win new contracts. New contract awards or bookings generally represent the amount of revenue expected to be earned in the future from funded and unfunded contract awards received during the period. Ceiling increases are as a result of upward contract adjustments under existing contracts and increases in scope. De-obligations are related to downward contract adjustments by the customer or contract backlog that was not realized on contracts that have ended. “De-obligation” refers to the removal from backlog of amounts previously awarded by a customer resulting from either (i) a formal contract modification issued by the customer reducing, or de-obligating, the total contract value, or (ii) the expiration of the period of performance without an extension issued by the customer which would be necessary for us to continue working under the contract. In the latter case we remove the remaining contract value from backlog even though the contract value is not formally de-obligated by the customer.

A key measure of our business growth is the ratio of gross contracts awarded compared to the revenue recorded in the same period, or book-to-bill ratio. Our goal is for the level of business awards to exceed the revenue booked in order to drive future revenue growth. Our book-to-bill ratio, calculated using gross contract orders, was 0.58:1, 1.23:1 and 1.08:1 in the three, nine and the twelve months ended March 31, 2013, respectively. Our book-to-bill ratio continues to be adversely impacted by the challenging market environment including declining budgets, budget uncertainties, an increased number of protested contracts, and heightened competition. Despite the environment, we do not believe we are opportunity constrained and have grown our pipeline and increased the total value of proposals submitted. The total value of proposals submitted in the nine months ended March 31, 2013 was $4.5 billion, which is an increase of 85% over the comparable period of the prior year. Submittals include the total value of bids submitted for prime funded opportunities, including both new and re-compete contracts. Submittals do not include values of bids submitted for indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity, or IDIQ, contracts, or bids submitted as a subcontractor. As a result of this activity, we had approximately $2.6 billion of proposals awaiting award decision at March 31, 2013.
We define backlog to include funded and unfunded orders for services under existing signed contracts, assuming the exercise of all options relating to those contracts, less the amount of revenue we have previously recognized under those contracts. Backlog includes all contract options that have been priced but not yet funded. Backlog also includes the contract value under single award ID/IQ contracts against which we expect future task orders to be issued without competition.
Backlog does not take contract ceiling value into consideration under multiple award contracts, nor does it include any estimate of future potential delivery orders that might be awarded under multiple award ID/IQ vehicles, government-wide acquisition contracts, or GWACs, or General Services Administration, or GSA, schedule contracts. We define funded backlog to be the portion of backlog for which funding currently is appropriated and obligated to us under a contract or other authorization for payment signed by an authorized purchasing authority. Backlog can vary considerably from time to time as current contracts or delivery orders are executed and new contracts or delivery orders under existing contracts are won.

Our total backlog of $3.6 billion as of March 31, 2013 included approximately $55.5 million of contract backlog obtained through the acquisition of NSS. Our backlog includes orders under contracts that, in some cases, extend for several years, with the latest expiring during calendar year 2017. Congress often appropriates funds for our clients on a yearly basis, even though the corresponding contract with us may call for performance that is expected to take a number of years. As a result, contracts typically are only partially funded at any point during their term with further funding dependent on Congress making subsequent appropriations and the procuring agency allocating funding to the contract. The U.S. government may cancel any contract at any time. Most of our contracts have cancellation terms that would permit us to recover all or a portion of our incurred costs, termination costs, and potentially fees for work performed.
As of March 31, 2013, we expect to recognize approximately 24% of our backlog as revenue within the next twelve months.
Contract Mix
When contracting with our clients, we enter into one of three basic types of contracts: cost-plus-fee, time-and-materials, and fixed-price.
· | Cost-plus-fee contracts. Cost-plus-fee contracts provide for reimbursement of allowable costs and the payment of a fee, which is our profit. In addition, some cost-plus-fee contracts provide for an award fee or incentive fee for meeting the requirements of the contract. |
· | Time-and-materials contracts. Time-and-materials contracts provide for a fixed hourly rate for each direct labor hour expended plus reimbursement of allowable material costs and out-of-pocket expenses. |
· | Fixed-price contracts. Fixed-price contracts provide for a pre-determined fixed price for specified products and/or services. Fixed-price-level-of-effort contracts are similar to time-and-materials contracts except they require a specified level of effort over a stated period of time. To the extent our actual costs vary from the estimates upon which the price of the fixed-price contract was negotiated, we will generate more or less than the anticipated amount of profit or could incur a loss. |
20 |
Each of these contract types has unique characteristics. From time to time, contracts may be issued that are a combination or hybrid of contract types. Cost-plus-fee contracts generally subject us to lower risk. They also can include award fees or incentive fees under which the customer may make additional payments based on our performance. However, not all costs are reimbursed under these types of contracts, and the government carefully reviews the costs we charge. In addition, negotiated base fees are generally lower than projected profits on fixed-price or time-and-materials contracts, consistent with our lower risk. Under time-and-materials contracts, including our fixed-price-level-of effort contracts, we are also generally subject to lower risk; however, our profit may vary if actual labor hour costs vary significantly from the negotiated rates. Fixed-price contracts typically involve the highest risk and, as a result, typically have higher fee levels. However, fixed-price contracts require that we absorb cost overruns, should they occur.
The following table summarizes our historical contract mix, measured as a percentage of total revenue, for the periods indicated.
Three months ended March 31, 2012 | Three months ended March 31, 2013 | |||||||

Time-and-materials | 36 | % | 35 | % | ||||
Fixed-price (a) | 32 | % | 35 | % |
(a) | Includes approximately 4% of the revenue earned on fixed-price-level-of-effort contracts in fiscal 2013 and fiscal 2012. |
Labor Utilization
Because most of our revenue and profit is derived from services delivered by our employees, our ability to hire new employees and retain and deploy them is critical to our success. We define direct labor utilization as the ratio of labor expense recorded on customer engagements to total labor expense. We include every working employee in the computation and exclude leave taken, such as vacation time. As of March 31, 2013, we had approximately 5,800 employees. Direct labor utilization was 80.3% and 80.0% for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2013, respectively, compared to 78.9% and 79.1% in the same periods of the prior year. Labor incurred in the performance of our contracts is included in cost of services and all other labor costs incurred are included in selling, general and administrative expenses.
Days Sales Outstanding
Days sales outstanding, or DSO, is a measure of how efficiently we manage the billing and collection of accounts receivable, our most significant working capital requirement. We calculate DSO by dividing accounts receivable at the end of each quarter, net of billings in excess of revenue, by revenue per day for the period. Revenue per day for a quarter is determined by dividing total revenue by 90 days, adjusted for partial periods related to any acquisitions and divestitures. DSO decreased to 60 days as of March 31, 2013 from 63 days as of December 31, 2012.
Seasonality
Certain aspects of our operations are influenced by the federal government’s October-to-September fiscal year. The timing of contract awards, the availability of funding from the customer and the incurrence of contract costs are the primary drivers of our revenue recognition and may all be affected by the government’s fiscal year. Additionally, our quarterly results are impacted by the number of working days in a given quarter. There are generally fewer working days for our employees to generate revenue in the first and second quarters of our fiscal year because our employees usually take relatively more leave for vacations and holidays, which leads to lower revenue and profitability in those quarters. Additionally, we typically give annual raises to our employees at the beginning of our first quarter on July 1, while the billing rates on our time-and-materials contracts typically escalate gradually, causing the profitability on these contracts to decline in the first quarter, and increase over the course of our fiscal year.

Items Affecting the Comparability of Our Operating Results
We define Adjusted EBITDA as GAAP income (loss) from continuing operations plus (i) provisions for (benefit from) income taxes, (ii) net interest (income) expense, (iii) depreciation and amortization of property and equipment, and (iv) amortization of intangible assets, or EBITDA, adjusted to exclude certain items, such as stock compensation expense, Transaction costs and other items that do not relate directly to our ongoing operations or which are noncash in nature. Adjusted EBITDA, or Consolidated EBITDA as is defined in the credit agreement, as presented in the table below is used to determine our compliance with certain covenants contained in our credit agreement. We also use Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental measure in the evaluation of our business because it provides a meaningful measure of operational performance by eliminating the effects of period-to-period changes in taxes and interest expense, among other things.
The following items affect the comparability of our income (loss) from continuing operations period-over-period, and therefore, have been adjusted in arriving at Adjusted EBITDA:

· | Transaction costs for accelerated stock compensation expense, accounting, investment banking, legal, severance, and other services related to the Transaction. |
· | The acquisition of NSS in December 2012. In calculating Adjusted EBITDA, we add the estimated EBITDA impact of acquisitions as if the businesses had been acquired on the first day of the respective period in which an adjustment is recorded. There was no EBITDA impact for the divestures of Era and GCD as they were reported in discontinued operations. |
· | Cost savings adjustments representing the EBITDA impact of an indirect reduction in force implemented in fiscal 2011 and exiting underutilized space in certain of our leased facilities in fiscal 2012 and 2013. The cost savings adjustment in fiscal 2013 represents the estimated EBITDA impact of actions taken to exit underutilized space. Cost savings is a defined EBITDA adjustment under our credit agreement for the amount of quantifiable run-rate cost savings for actions taken or expected to be taken within 12 months of the reporting date as if they had been realized on the first day of the relevant period. |
The impact of these items on our loss from continuing operations is shown in the table below. We present Adjusted EBITDA as an additional measure of our core business performance period over period. Adjustments to loss from continuing operations result in a non-GAAP measure, however, we believe adjustment of the items above is useful as they are considered outside the normal course of our operations and obscure the comparability of performance period–over-period.
Adjusted EBITDA decreased in the three, nine and twelve months ended March 31, 2013 compared to the three, nine and twelve months ended March 31, 2012 due primarily to a decline in direct labor services partially offset by reductions in SG&A expenses.

Results of Operations
Revenue
Revenue decreased 5.3% to $376.3 million in the three months ended March 31, 2013 from $397.2 million in the three months ended March 31, 2012. Revenue in the nine months ended March 31, 2013 decreased 8.7% to $1,142.8 million from $1,252.3 million in the combined nine months ended March 31, 2012. The decline in revenue for the three months was due to a decline in labor services. The decline in revenue for the nine months was due, in part, to lower materials and other reimbursable costs, which decreased approximately $46.1 million in the nine months ended March 31, 2013, with the remainder of the decrease due to a decline in labor services. The decline in labor services was primarily due to the competitive market environment, funding reductions on some of our existing programs, and the continued delay of contract awards.

Total cost of services | $ | 950,679 | $ | 865,556 |
Cost of services as a percentage of revenue varies from period to period depending on the mix of direct labor, subcontractor labor, and materials and other reimbursable costs. In periods where we have more materials and other reimbursable content, our costs of services as a percentage of revenue will be higher. We seek to optimize our labor content in performance of our contracts since we typically generate greater gross margin from our labor services, particularly from services that our employees provide, compared with other reimbursable items.
Cost of services decreased in the three and nine months ended March 31, 2013 compared to the same periods in the prior year primarily due to a decline in labor services. Additionally, the decrease in the nine months ended March 31, 2013 was due to a decrease in materials and other reimbursable costs.
SG&A expenses decreased by $8.1 million and $14.8 million in the three and nine months ended March 31, 2013, respectively, compared to the same periods in the prior year. Our SG&A expenses were impacted by stock compensation expense, severance charges to reduce our indirect labor force, officer compensation and other non-recurring costs, which are all discussed in greater detail in the section titled “Items Affecting the Comparability of Our Operating Results.” Excluding these items, SG&A expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2013 were approximately $52.9 million and $44.1 million, respectively. Excluding these items, SG&A expenses for the nine months ended March 31, 2012 and 2013 were approximately $155.0 million and $138.6 million, respectively. The decrease in SG&A expenses is primarily a result of continued actions taken to align our indirect costs with our volume of business and maintain a competitive cost position in this challenging market environment.
Depreciation and amortization of property and equipment did not materially change in the periods presented. The carrying value of our property, equipment and leasehold improvements did not change as a result of the Transaction.
Amortization of intangible assets decreased in the three and nine months ended March 31, 2013 as compared to the three and nine months ended March 31, 2012 as amortization is recorded on an accelerated basis based on the expected benefits of the assets.
Transaction costs of $0.1 million and $68.4 million in the three and combined nine months ended March 31, 2012 consisted of accounting, investment banking, legal, acceleration of stock compensation and other costs incurred in connection with our acquisition by private equity investments funds sponsored by Providence.

Interest expense for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2013 includes amortization of original issue discount and debt issuance costs of $1.6 million and $5.3 million, respectively with $1.9 million and $5.3 million in the same periods of the prior year, respectively.

Income Taxes
The effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2013 was a tax benefit of 77.9% and 44.8%, respectively, which is higher than the statutory income tax rate primarily due to retroactive reinstatement of the federal research and development credit to January 1, 2012 and revisions to certain estimates of non-deductible costs in our fiscal 2012 income tax return. The effective tax rate for the period from July 1, 2011 through July 20, 2011 was a tax benefit of 29.6% and was impacted by the non-deductible Transaction costs incurred in the period. The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and the period from July 21, 2011 through March 31, 2012 was a tax benefit of 37.3% and 36.1%, respectively, which was adversely impacted by the limits on deductible interest expense for state income tax purposes. We expect our effective tax rate for future periods to be approximately 40%.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our primary capital needs are to finance the costs of operations, pending the billing and collection of accounts receivable. Our working capital (current assets of continuing operations minus current liabilities of continuing operations) as of March 31, 2013 was $90.4 million compared to $100.5 million as of June 30, 2012. As of March 31, 2013, our total unrestricted cash was $41.8 million and our total outstanding debt was $1.1 billion. Our working capital declined due to a decrease in accounts receivable due primarily to strong cash collections, partially offset by the timing of vendor payments.

Cash Flow
Accounts receivable represent our largest working capital requirement. We bill the majority of our clients monthly after services are rendered. Our operating cash flow is primarily affected by the overall profitability of our contracts, our ability to invoice and collect from our clients in a timely manner and the timing of vendor and tax payments.
Net cash provided by operating activities was $40.1 million in the combined nine months ended March 31, 2012 compared to $99.3 million in the nine months ended March 31, 2013. The increase in cash provided by operating activities in the nine months ended March 31, 2013 was primarily due to higher customer collections and timing of interest payments, whereby the quarterly Term Loan B Facility and semi-annual Notes interest was paid before March 31 in the prior year but subsequent to March 31 in the current year. The combined nine months ended March 31, 2012 included payment of Transaction costs partially offset by collection of a federal income tax refund.
Net cash used in investing activities in connection with the Transaction was $1.7 billion in the combined nine months ended March 31, 2012. In the nine months ended March 31, 2013, we used $34.2 million to acquire NSS and $7.0 million for capital expenditures.
Net cash provided by financing activities was $1.5 billion in the combined nine months ended March 31, 2012. The net cash provided by financing activities in the combined nine months ended March 31, 2012 relates to the Transaction including $1.3 billion of debt incurred and $394.0 million of equity contributions by the PEP Funds. During the nine months ended March 31, 2013, we repaid $20.0 million of our debt.
Indebtedness
Our Term Loan B Facility requires quarterly installment payments of approximately $2.2 million per quarter commencing on December 31, 2011. In addition, we are required to make annual payments equal to 75% of excess cash flow, or ECF, (as defined in the credit agreement), with a reduction to 50% based upon achievement of a net senior secured leverage ratio of less than 3.5x, 25% if less than 2.75x and zero if less than 2.0x. Any required ECF payments are due on October 15 each year. We repaid $140.0 million of our Term Loan B Facility in fiscal 2012, which satisfied all of the required quarterly principal payments for the term of the loan and satisfied our required ECF principal payments for fiscal 2012. We repaid $20.0 million of our Term Loan B Facility in fiscal 2013 and do not believe any additional fiscal 2013 ECF payments will be required.
27 |
The $400.0 million of Notes bear interest at a rate of 11% per annum and mature on October 19, 2019. Interest on the Notes is payable semi-annually. The Notes are redeemable in whole or in part, at our option, at varying redemption prices that generally include premiums. In addition, until October 1, 2014, we may, at our option redeem up to 35% of the then outstanding aggregate principal amount of the Notes with the net cash proceeds from certain equity offerings at a redemption price equal to 111% of the aggregate principal amount thereof.
The Senior Secured Credit Facilities and the Notes are guaranteed by all of our wholly-owned subsidiaries. The Senior Secured Credit Facilities are also guaranteed by Sterling Parent. The guarantees are full and unconditional and joint and several. Each of our subsidiary guarantors are 100% owned and have no independent assets or operations.
As of March 31, 2013, we had no outstanding letters of credit or borrowings under our Revolver.
We are required to meet a net senior secured leverage ratio, or NSSLR, covenant quarterly if any revolving loan, swing-line loan or letter of credit is outstanding on the last day of the quarter. The ratio is calculated as the consolidated net secured indebtedness as of the last day of the quarter (defined as consolidated net secured debt less any cash and permitted investments) to the preceding four quarters’ consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the Credit Agreement). The required ratio decreases over time from less than or equal to 5.75x as of March 31, 2013 to less than or equal to 4.5x as of June 30, 2016. As of March 31, 2013, our net senior secured leverage ratio was 3.4x. We were in compliance with all of our covenants as of March 31, 2013.
Capital Requirements
We believe the capital resources available to us under the Revolver portion of our Senior Secured Credit Facilities and cash from our operations are adequate to fund our normal working capital needs as well as our capital expenditure requirements, which are expected to be less than 0.8% of revenue, for at least the next twelve months.
Income Taxes
The Transaction accelerated the recognition of expense for stock options and restricted stock, creating a tax deduction of approximately $80.0 million in fiscal 2012. As a result of this stock compensation deduction, as well as Transaction costs and tax-deductible interest expense, we do not expect to make any material U.S. federal income tax payments until December 15, 2013.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of March 31, 2013, other than operating leases, we had no material off-balance sheet arrangements, including retained or contingent interests in assets transferred to unconsolidated entities; derivative instruments indexed to our stock and classified in stockholder’s equity on the condensed consolidated balance sheet; or variable interests in entities that provide us with financing, liquidity, market risk or credit risk support or engage with us in leasing, hedging or research and development services. We no longer utilize forward contracts to offset foreign currency exchange rate risk as our foreign operations, Era and GCD, were sold in fiscal 2012. We utilize interest rate derivatives to add stability to interest expense and to manage our exposure to interest rate movements.
For further discussion of our derivative instruments and hedging activities see Item 3 below and Note 8 to our condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the period ended March 31, 2013 included in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q.
Description of Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of our financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses, as well as the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. These estimates are based on our historical experience and various other factors that are deemed reasonable at the time the estimates are made. Actual results may differ significantly from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We re-evaluate these estimates quarterly and test goodwill and trade names for impairment at least annually during the fourth quarter as of April 1. The budget pressures and uncertainty around U.S. federal government spending may result in impairment of our goodwill and trade names. We believe the critical accounting policies requiring significant estimates and judgments are revenue recognition, accounting for acquisitions, including the identification of intangible assets and the ongoing impairment assessments of goodwill and intangible assets, accounting for stock compensation expense and income taxes. If any of these estimates or judgments proves to be inaccurate, our results could be materially affected in the future.
28 |
For a full discussion of our critical accounting policies, refer to the "Description of Critical Accounting Estimates" section included in our annual report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 17, 2012.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, issued Accounting Standards Update 2013-02, or ASU 2013-02, an update to Comprehensive Income. This update requires the presentation and disclosure of reclassification adjustments out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income, or AOCI, in a single note or on the face of the financial statements. This update is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2012, or our fiscal 2014. The adoption of this ASU will not impact our financial position, results of operations or cash flow.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
We are subject to market risk, primarily relating to potential losses arising from adverse changes in interest rates. For a further discussion of market risks we may encounter, refer to our “Risk Factors” section included in our Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 17, 2012.
Interest Rate Risk
Borrowings under our senior secured credit facilities are at variable interest rates and expose us to interest rate risk. However, we manage our exposure to interest rate movements through the use of interest rate swap agreements. As of March 31, 2013 we had fixed the interest rate on all but $65.0 million of our outstanding Term Loan B Facility. Borrowings under our Term Loan B Facility bear interest at a rate equal to an applicable margin plus London Interbank Offered Rate, or LIBOR, with a 1.25% floor, or, at our option, an applicable margin plus an alternative base rate determined by reference to the higher of the prime rate or the federal funds rate plus 0.5%, with a 2.25% floor. The three-month LIBOR was 0.28% at March 31, 2013. A hypothetical 1% increase in LIBOR over the 1.25% floor could increase our annual interest expense and related cash flows by approximately $0.6 million based on the unhedged portion of our senior secured credit facilities outstanding as of March 31, 2013.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of March 31, 2013, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, respectively), management evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15 of the Exchange Act. Based upon this evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective, as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, such that the information relating to us that is required to be disclosed in our reports filed with the SEC (i) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Change in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
No change in our internal control over financial reporting occurred during the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2013 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
