2. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements of DRS Technologies, Inc., its wholly-owned subsidiaries and a partnership of which DRS owns an 80% controlling interest (hereinafter, DRS or the Company) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. In the opinion of the Company, the interim consolidated financial information provided herein reflects all adjustments (consisting of normal and recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the Companys consolidated financial position as of June 30, 2006, the results of its operations for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, and its cash flows for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2006 and 2005. The results of operations for the three-month period ended June 30, 2006 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. Certain fiscal 2006 amounts have been reclassified to conform to the fiscal 2007 presentation. These interim Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006, included in the Companys filing on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2006.

The Company is in the process of obtaining a third-party valuation of certain assets and liabilities, including acquired intangible assets and finalizing its own internal assessment of the purchase price allocation; thus, the preliminary allocation of purchase price will change, and such change could be material. Our preliminary purchase price allocation as of June 30, 2006 has not changed materially from the allocation included in Note 2 to the Companys consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006. The Company anticipates completing the purchase price allocation in the third quarter of fiscal 2007.
4. Share-Based Compensation
Adoption of SFAS 123R In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment (SFAS 123R). SFAS 123R replaces SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, (SFAS No. 123) and supercedes Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees (APB No. 25). SFAS 123R addresses the accounting for transactions in which an enterprise receives employee services in exchange for (a) equity instruments of the enterprise or (b) liabilities that are based on the fair value of the enterprises equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of such equity instruments. SFAS 123R requires companies to recognize compensation cost in an amount equal to the fair value of share-based awards expected to vest.
On April 1, 2006, we adopted SFAS 123R using the modified prospective method. Under this method, we are required to record compensation cost for the unvested portion of previously granted awards that were outstanding as of April 1, 2006. Results for prior periods have not been restated. We previously accounted for share-based compensation under the recognition and measurement principle of APB No. 25 and related interpretations. Prior to SFAS 123R adoption, no share-based compensation cost was reflected in net income for stock options, as stock options granted had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of the grant. Also, prior to the SFAS 123R adoption, compensation cost for restricted stock and restricted stock units (collectively non-vested stock) was
5
DRS TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)
(Unaudited)
recorded based on the closing market value on the last trading day prior to the date of grant. Compensation cost for non-vested stock was charged to unamortized stock compensation in Stockholders equity and amortized to expense over the requisite vesting periods. With the adoption of SFAS 123R on April 1, 2006, unamortized stock compensation relating to previous grants of non-vested stock of $7.2 million was credited to additional paid-in capital. Additionally, prior to the adoption of SFAS 123R, the Company presented all tax benefits of deductions resulting from the exercise of stock options as operating cash flows in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. SFAS 123R requires excess tax benefits (i.e., the tax benefit recognized upon exercise of stock options in excess of the benefit recognized as compensation cost for those options) to be classified as financing cash flows in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. Pursuant to SFAS 123R, tax benefits resulting from the exercise of stock options, which have been presented as operating cash flows prior to the adoption of SFAS 123R are not reclassified to financing activities, but rather continue to be presented as operating cash flows.
The adoption of SFAS 123R resulted in a non-cash credit to other income (expense), net for the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle of $0.2 million related to the recognition of estimated forfeitures on non-vested stock. The cumulative effect credit is immaterial for purposes of separate presentation on the Consolidated Statement of Earnings.
As a result of the application of SFAS 123R in the three months ended June 30, 2006, we recorded share-based costs related to stock options and non-vested stock of $2.6 million. Such amount was recognized in the consolidated financial statements as follows:
Amounts recognized in the financial statements for equity-based compensation are as follows:

As a result of applying SFAS 123R, the Companys earnings before income taxes and net earnings for the three months ended June 30, 2006 were $1.8 million and $1.1 million lower, respectively, than if it had continued to account for share-based compensation under APB No. 25. Basic and diluted earnings per share for the three months ended June 30, 2006 would have been $0.57 per share and $0.55 per share, respectively, if the Company had not adopted SFAS 123R, compared to reported amounts of $0.54 per basic share and $0.52 per diluted share.
Prior Period Pro Forma Information Prior to April 1, 2006, the Company applied the intrinsic-value-based method of accounting prescribed by APB 25, and its related interpretations. Compensation expense for stock options granted to an employee or director was recognized in earnings based on the excess, if any, of the quoted market price of DRS common stock at the date of grant, or other measurement date, over the amount an employee or director must pay to acquire the common stock. When the exercise price of the option granted to an employee or director equaled or exceeded the quoted market price of DRS common stock at the date of grant, the Company did not recognize compensation

expense. Compensation cost for nonvested stock was recorded based on the market value of DRS common stock on the date of grant.
The table below compares the as reported net earnings and earnings per share to the pro forma net earnings and earnings per share for the three months ended June 30, 2005, that the Company would have reported if it had elected to recognize compensation expense in accordance with the fair value-based method of accounting of SFAS No. 123. For purposes of determining the pro forma effects of SFAS No. 123, the estimated fair value of options granted was calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing valuation model. Option forfeitures were accounted for as they occurred and no amount of stock option expense were capitalized into inventory or other assets, but instead were considered period expenses.

Share-based Compensation Plans On August 7, 1996, the stockholders approved the 1996 Omnibus Plan (1996 Plan). Under the terms of the Omnibus Plan, which expired on June 16, 2006, options could be granted to key employees, directors and consultants of the Company. The 1996 Plan initially was limited to 500,000 shares of DRS common stock and was ultimately increased, with stockholder approval, to 5,875,000 shares of DRS common stock. Awards under the 1996 Plan were the discretion of the Executive Compensation Committee and could be made in the form of incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock and restricted stock units, phantom stock, stock bonuses and other awards. The Company has historically utilized newly issued shares of DRS common stock to satisfy its equity-based compensation awards.
On August 3, 2006, the stockholders approved the 2006 Omnibus Plan which has similar terms to that of the 1996 Omnibus Plan. The 2006 Omnibus Plan provides for the issuance of up to a maximum of 4.0 million shares of DRS common stock.
Stock Options Unless the Executive Compensation Committee expressly provides otherwise, options granted under the Omnibus Plan have a contractual term of ten years and generally are not exercisable prior to one year after the date of grant, with 25% of the options granted exercisable on each of the first four anniversaries of the date of grant. On July 6, 2005, the Company granted 209,500 stock options that fully vested on March 31, 2006. In accordance with the July 6, 2005 stock option grant, recipients are required to hold any shares acquired upon exercise of the options prior to March 31, 2008 (net of any shares sold or withheld to pay the exercise price and any applicable statutory minimum federal, state and

local tax requirements) for a period of one year following the date of exercise. The Companys decision to modify its traditional vesting terms for the July 6, 2005 stock option grant was made pursuant to managements ongoing evaluation of the Companys overall incentive compensation strategy, including the type of future share-based compensation awards. As a part of the evaluation, management considered the amount of compensation expense that would otherwise have been recognized in the Companys results of operations in future periods under SFAS 123R. The July 6, 2005 stock option grant had a $4.8 million impact on the Companys pro forma pre-tax compensation expense.
During fiscal 1999, the Board of Directors issued options to purchase 250,000 shares of DRS common stock with vesting terms similar to awards issued under the 1996 Plan at exercise prices in excess of the market price on the date of grant. The options expire in fiscal 2009.
The stock options exercised during fiscal 2000 included 50,000 shares, which are being held by the Company in book entry form. Book entry shares are not considered issued or outstanding and are excluded from the tables below. However, these shares are included in the Companys diluted earnings per share calculations for the three months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005.
The table summarizes information regarding the Companys stock option activity and amounts as of and for the three months ended June 30, 2006.

(1) Represents outstanding options reduced by expected forfeitures.
The aggregate intrinsic value, disclosed in the table above, represents the difference between DRSs closing stock price on the last trading day of the first quarter (June 30, 2006) and the exercise price, multiplied by the number of in-the-money stock options outstanding.
The total intrinsic value of stock options exercised, based on the difference between DRSs stock price at the time of exercise and the related exercise price, was $0.6 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2007 and $8.2 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2006. Total compensation expense related to stock options was $1.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006. At June 30, 2006, unrecognized compensation costs related to stock options was $13.7 million ($8.3 million after income taxes), which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average remaining period of 2.7 years.

The estimated weighted average grant date fair value of each stock option awarded was $49.91 for the three months ended June 30, 2006 and there were no options granted for the three months ended June 30, 2005.
Stock Option Fair Value Estimation Assumptions For purposes of estimating the fair value provisions of SFAS 123R, the Company estimates the fair value of its stock options at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing valuation model. The Companys valuation model is impacted by DRSs stock price as well as weighted average assumptions for a number of subjective variables described below.
· Expected Holding Period The expected holding period of stock options granted represents the period of time that stock options granted are expected to be outstanding until they are exercised, cancelled or forfeited. The Company uses historical data to estimate stock option exercise data and employee terminations within the valuation model.
· Expected Volatility Expected volatility is based on historical daily volatility of DRS common stock over the expected holding period.
· Expected Dividend Yield Expected dividend yield is based on DRSs expected payments.
· Risk-Free Interest Rate The risk-free interest rates for stock options are based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant for maturities similar to the expected holding period of the stock options.
· Forfeiture Rate The forfeiture rate is based on the historical forfeiture experience and prospective analysis of different pools of employees. We monitor share option exercise and employee termination patterns of each pool to estimate forfeiture rates within the valuation model.
Changes in assumptions can materially impact the estimated fair value of stock options. The weighted average assumptions used in the valuation model are presented in the table below.

Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units Restricted stock awards are granted to certain employees, as permitted under the 1996 Plan in the name of the employee, who has all the rights of a stockholder, subject to certain restrictions. The restricted stock cliff vests three years from the date of grant. Restricted stock units are granted in the name of the employee; however, the participant has no rights as a stockholder. These restricted stock units are redeemed for DRS common stock once a three-year cliff vesting period has been satisfied. The cost of the grants, as determined by the market prices of the common stock at the grant dates, is recognized over the vesting periods.
Compensation cost for non-vested stock for the three months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 was $0.8 million and $0.2 million, respectively. As of June 30, 2006, total unrecognized compensation costs related to non-vested stock awards was $18.1 million and that amount is expected to be recognized over a weighted average remaining period of 2.1 years.

Inventoried contract costs for the Companys businesses that are primarily government contractors include certain general and administrative (G&A) costs, including internal research and development costs (IRAD) and bid and proposal costs (B&P). G&A, IRAD and B&P costs are allowable, indirect contract costs under U.S. government regulations. The Company allocates these costs to government contracts and accounts for them as product costs at the majority of the Companys operating units, not as period expenses.
The table below presents a summary of G&A, IRAD and B&P costs included in inventoried contract costs and changes to them, including amounts used in the determination of costs and expenses. The cost data in the table below does not include the G&A, IRAD and B&P costs for the Companys lines of businesses that are not primarily contracted with the U.S. government, such costs are expensed as incurred.

The weighted average interest rate on the Companys term loan borrowings was 6.7% as of June 30, 2006 (6.3% as of March 31, 2006). The weighted average interest rate under the revolving line of credit borrowings was 7.5% at June 30, 2006 (6.2% as of March 31, 2006).
From time to time, the Company enters into standby letters-of-credit and bank guarantee agreements with financial institutions and customers, primarily relating to the guarantee of its future performance on certain contracts to provide products and services and to secure advance payments it has received from its customers. As of June 30, 2006, $47.5 million was contingently payable under letters of credit and bank guarantees. Of this amount, approximately $0.9 million and $0.4 million in letters of credit and bank guarantees, respectively, as of June 30, 2006, were issued under a previous credit agreement and by a bank agreement for the Companys U.K. subsidiary, respectively, and are not considered when determining the availability under the Companys revolving line of credit. At June 30, 2006, the Company had $224.8 million of availability under its revolving line of credit.
On March 29, 2006, DRS Technologies Canada Company (DRS Canada) established a five-year senior secured term loan for approximately $9.9 million (C$11.5 million), maturing on April 1, 2011. The weighted average interest rate on the term loan was 6.0% as of June 30, 2006 (5.5% as of March 31, 2006). The carrying value of the Canadian term loan increased $0.5 million during the three months ended June 30, 2006, as a result of the strengthening of the Canadian dollar compared to the U.S. dollar during that period.
Accrued interest expense at June 30, 2006 and March 31, 2006 was $29.6 million and $27.3 million, respectively.
The Companys indebtedness is more fully described in Note 8 to the Companys Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended March 31, 2006.
9. Earnings per Share
Basic earnings per share (EPS) is computed by dividing net earnings by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period. The computation of diluted earnings per share includes the effect of shares from the assumed exercise of dilutive stock options, restricted stock and restricted stock units. The following table presents the components of basic and diluted earnings per share:

At June 30, 2006 there were 22,500 options that were excluded from the diluted EPS calculation because their inclusion would have had an antidilutive effect on EPS. At June 30, 2005, all outstanding options are included in the diluted EPS calculation. For the three months ended June 30, 2006, DRSs 2% Convertible Senior Notes had no impact on EPS because the average stock price during the period was below $59.70 per share, and the convertible notes, if converted, would require only cash at settlement.

14. Cash Dividends on DRS Common Stock
On May 12, 2006, the Board of Directors declared a $0.03 per common share cash dividend, which was paid on June 30, 2006 to stockholders of record as of June 15, 2006. Cash dividends of $0.03 per common share were paid in each quarter of fiscal 2006. On August 3, 2006, the Board of Directors declared a $0.03 per common share cash dividend, payable on September 29, 2006 to stockholders of record as of September 15, 2006.
15. Contingencies and Related Party Transactions
Contingencies The Company is party to various legal actions and claims arising in the ordinary course of its business. In the Companys opinion, the Company has adequate legal defenses for each of the actions and claims.
Various legal actions, claims, assessments and other contingencies arising in the normal course of the Companys business, including certain matters described below, are pending against the Company and certain of its subsidiaries. These matters are subject to many uncertainties, and it is possible that some of these matters could be ultimately decided, resolved or settled adversely. The Company has recorded accruals totaling $4.4 million and $4.3 million at June 30, 2006 and March 31, 2006, respectively, for losses related to those matters that it considers to be probable and that can be reasonably estimated (certain legal and environmental matters are discussed in detail below). Although the ultimate amount of liability at June 30, 2006 that may result from those matters for which the Company has recorded accruals is not ascertainable, the Company believes that any amounts exceeding the Companys recorded accruals should not materially affect the Companys financial condition or liquidity. It is possible, however, that the ultimate resolution of those matters could result in a material adverse effect on the Companys results of operations for a particular reporting period.
Some environmental laws, such as the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980 (also known as CERCLA or the Superfund law) and similar state statutes, can impose liability for the entire cost of the clean up of contaminated sites upon any of the current or former site owners or operators (or upon parties who send waste to these sites), regardless of the lawfulness of the original activities that led to the contamination. In July 2000, prior to its acquisition by IDT, and prior to DRSs acquisition of IDT, Tech-Sym Corporation received a Section 104(e) Request for Information from the National Park Service (NPS), pursuant to CERCLA, regarding a site known as the Orphan Mine site in the Grand Canyon National Park, Arizona, which is the subject of an NPS investigation regarding the presence of residual radioactive materials and contamination. A corporation of which Tech-Sym is an alleged successor operated this uranium mine from 1956 to 1967. In 1962, the land was sold to the U.S. government and the alleged predecessor of Tech-Sym was given a 25-year mining lease. In 1967, the mining rights were transferred to a third party by a trustee in bankruptcy, and the Company believes that the mine was operated by such third party until approximately 1969. The Company understands that there are other companies in the chain of title to the mining rights subsequent to Tech-Syms alleged predecessor, and, accordingly, that there are other potentially responsible parties (PRPs) for the environmental conditions at the site, including the U.S. government as owner, operator and arranger at the site. During its period of ownership, IDT retained a technical consultant in connection with this matter, who conducted a limited, preliminary review of site conditions and communicated with the NPS regarding actions that may be required at the site by all of the PRPs. On February 6, 2005, the NPS sent the
17
DRS TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)
(Unaudited)
Company an Engineering Evaluation/Cost Analysis Work Plan (the NPS EE/CA) under CERCLA (the CERCLA Letter) with regards to Operable Unit 1 of the Orphan Mine site. In the Companys view, the NPS EE/CA included additional clean up not covered by CERCLA. The CERCLA Letter also requested (a) payment of $0.5 million for costs incurred by the NPS related to the Orphan Mine, and (b) a good faith offer to conduct the response activity outlined by the NPS and to reimburse the NPS for future costs. The NPS advised that a similar letter has been sent to another PRP. The Company initiated discussions with the other PRP and with NPS, and engaged a technical consultant to evaluate the existing documentation and the site in depth. As a result, on September 29, 2005, the technical consultant submitted to the NPS, on behalf of the Company and the other PRP, an alternative Engineering Evaluation/Cost Analysis Work Plan (the alternative EE/CA) with regards to Operating Units 1 and 2 of the Orphan Mine Site.
On December 6, 2005, the PRPs and NPS met to discuss the alternative EE/CA. The meeting focused on the technical merits of the alternative EE/CA and certain differences between the alternative EE/CA and the NPS EE/CA provided with the CERCLA Letter. The differences included an alternative sampling technique and the inclusion of Operable Unit 2 (the lower mine area) in the alternative EE/CA. Since that meeting in late 2005, the parties have also discussed certain legal issues relating to the process for implementing an alternative EE/CA and entering into a settlement agreement that would memorialize the parties intent. The potential liability associated with implementation of the EE/CA can change substantially due to such factors as additional information on the nature or extent of contamination, methods of remediation that might be recommended or required, changes in the apportionment of costs among the responsible parties and other actions by governmental agencies or private parties.
In connection with the ESSI acquisition, the Company has been made aware of certain legal actions, claims, assessments and other contingencies, certain of which are described below.
In December 2004, ESSI was notified by the Enforcement Division of the SEC of the issuance of a formal order directing a private investigation captioned In the Matter of Engineered Support Systems, Inc. and was notified that the SEC had issued subpoenas to various individuals associated with ESSI to produce certain documents. The SEC staff also requested that ESSI produce certain documents in connection with the investigation. The subpoenas related to trading in ESSI stock around ESSIs earnings releases in 2003 and to the adequacy of certain disclosures made by ESSI regarding related-party transactions in 2002 and 2003 involving insurance policies placed by ESSI through an insurance brokerage firm in which an ESSI director was a principal at the time of the transactions.
On or about September 23, 2005, the SEC staff advised ESSIs counsel that it had issued a subpoena directed to ESSI and expanded its investigation to include ESSIs disclosure of a November 2004 stop work order relating to ESSIs Deployable Power Generation and Distribution Systems (DPGDS) program for the U.S. Air Force, and relating to trading in ESSI stock by certain individuals associated with ESSI.
In connection with the foregoing SEC investigation, ESSI and certain of its directors and officers have provided information and/or testimony to the SEC. On November 14, 2005, ESSI was informed by the Enforcement Division that one of ESSIs former directors and officers, and subsequently a consultant to ESSI, had been issued a so-called Wells notice informing him that the staff of the SEC was considering recommending that the SEC bring a civil injunctive action against him in connection with the SECs investigation into trading in ESSI common stock in 2003. A Wells notice provides prospective defendants with an opportunity to respond to the SEC staff members before the staff makes a formal recommendation
18
DRS TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)
(Unaudited)
on whether the SEC should pursue disciplinary action against them. ESSI, itself, has not received a Wells notice and continues to cooperate with the investigation.
In January 2006, ESSI was informed that the Office of the U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Missouri was initiating an investigation into ESSIs disclosure of the DPGDS stop-work order and into trading in ESSI stock by ESSI insiders which preceded such disclosure. The U.S. Attorneys office advised ESSI that although it considered it to be a subject of its investigation, ESSI was not a target. In connection with this investigation, the U.S. Attorneys office issued ESSI a subpoena requesting specified information, which ESSI continues to furnish.
In May 2006, the Company was advised that the Enforcement Division of the SEC and the U.S. Attorneys office had each expanded its investigation to include possible backdating of the timing of option grants at ESSI prior to the time ESSI was acquired by DRS. As a part of its investigation, the SEC has issued subpoenas to certain officers and employees of ESSI to provide testimony and produce certain documents. Although ESSI continues to be a subject of the U.S. Attorneys offices investigation, the U.S. Attorneys office has advised the Company that ESSI is not a target. Because the events being investigated occurred prior to the time of the Companys acquisition of ESSI, the U.S. Attorneys office has further advised the Company that it considers DRS to be a witness, not a subject or target of its investigation.
The Company is committed to full cooperation with regard to the foregoing investigations. The Company is unable to determine at this time either the timing of the SEC or U.S. Attorneys office investigations or the impact, if any, which the investigations could have on the Company. A finding that ESSI had backdated option grants could result in the tax authorities disallowing all or part of related compensation deductions taken on ESSIs previous income tax returns.
Related Party Transactions The Company currently leases a building in Oakland, New Jersey, owned by LDR Realty Co., a partnership that was wholly owned in equal amounts by David E. Gross, DRSs cofounder and the former President and Chief Technical Officer, and the late Leonard Newman, DRSs cofounder, the former Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer, and Secretary and the father of Mark S. Newman, the Companys current Chairman of the Board, President and Chief Executive Officer. The lease agreement with a monthly rental of $21.2 thousand expires on April 30, 2007. Following Leonard Newmans death in November 1998, Mrs. Ruth Newman, the wife of Leonard Newman and the mother of Mark S. Newman, succeeded to Leonard Newmans interest in LDR Realty Co.
Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP, a law firm to which a member of our Board is of counsel, provided legal services to the Company during the three months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005. Fees paid to Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP for the three months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 were $2.4 million and less than $0.1 million, respectively.
16. Guarantor and Non-Guarantor Financial Statements
As presented in Note 8, Debt, the Company has $350.0 million 65¤8% Senior Notes, $550.0 million 67¤8% Senior Subordinated Notes, $250.0 million 75¤8% Senior Subordinated Notes and $345.0 million 2% Convertible Senior Notes outstanding (collectively, the Notes). The Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, by the Companys wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries (the Guarantor Subsidiaries). The foreign subsidiaries and certain domestic subsidiaries of DRS (the Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries) do not guarantee the Notes.

DRS TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)
(Unaudited)
17. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 155, Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instrumentsan amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140 (SFAS No. 155). SFAS No. 155 permits a fair value remeasurement for any hybrid financial instrument that contains an embedded derivative that would otherwise require bifurcation. This accounting standard will be effective for the Company beginning April 1, 2007. SFAS No. 155 is not expected to have an impact on the Companys financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In July of 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation (FIN) No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109. FIN 48 prescribes a comprehensive model for how a company should recognize, measure, present, and disclose in its financial statements uncertain tax positions that the company has taken or expects to take on a tax return. FIN 48 states that a tax benefit from an uncertain position may be recognized only if it is more likely than not that the position is sustainable, based on its technical merits. The tax benefit of a qualifying position is the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement with a taxing authority having full knowledge of all relevant information. The Company currently recognizes a tax position if it is probable of being sustained. FIN 48 is effective beginning April 1, 2007 for DRS. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that adopting FIN 48 will have on its operations and financial condition.

Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
We begin the Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (MD&A) of DRS Technologies, Inc. and subsidiaries, and a partnership of which DRS owns an 80% controlling interest (hereinafter, we, us, our, the Company or DRS) with a discussion of acquisition activity and a company overview, followed by summaries of defense industry considerations and other business considerations to provide context for understanding our business. This is followed by a discussion of the critical accounting estimates that we believe are important to understanding the assumptions and judgments incorporated in our reported financial results, which we discuss under Results of Operations. We then provide an analysis of cash flows and discuss our financial commitments under Liquidity and Capital Resources and Contractual Obligations, respectively. This MD&A should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes contained herein and in our March 31, 2006 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
The following discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements, within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, that are based on managements beliefs and assumptions, current expectations, estimates and projections. Such statements, including statements relating to the Companys expectations for future financial performance, are not considered historical facts and are considered forward-looking statements under the federal securities laws. These statements may contain words such as believes, anticipates, plans, expects, intends, estimates or similar expressions. These statements are not guarantees of our future performance and are subject to risks, uncertainties and other important factors that could cause our actual performance or achievements to differ materially from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements and include, without limitation: the effect of our acquisition strategy on future operating results, including our ability to effectively integrate acquired companies into our existing operations; the uncertainty of acceptance of new products and successful bidding for new contracts; the effect of technological changes or obsolescence relating to our products and services; and the effects of government regulation or shifts in government priorities (including changes in priorities in response to the war on terrorism and to homeland security), as they may relate to our products and services; and other risks or uncertainties detailed in the Companys Securities and Exchange Commission filings. Given these uncertainties, you should not rely on forward-looking statements. The Company undertakes no obligations to update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
On January 31, 2006 we completed our acquisition of Engineered Support Systems, Inc. (ESSI) for $1.93 billion in cash and DRS common stock. In the transaction, a wholly-owned subsidiary of DRS was merged with ESSI, forming our third operating segmentthe Sustainment Systems & Services (S3) Group. ESSI, formerly headquartered in St. Louis, Missouri, is a supplier of integrated military electronics, support equipment and technical services focused on advanced sustainment and logistics support solutions for all branches of the U.S. armed services, major prime defense contractors, certain international militaries, homeland security forces and selected government and intelligence agencies. ESSI also produces specialized equipment and systems for commercial and industrial applications. The addition of ESSI is expected to contribute a significant base of systems, products and services focused on military force sustainment, technical and logistics support, integrated military electronics and field support equipment.
On June 27, 2005, we acquired WalkAbout Computer Systems, Inc. (WalkAbout) in a stock purchase transaction for approximately $13.8 million in cash, with additional consideration payable of up to $5.0 million upon achievement of certain revenue targets for a period of two and a half years. WalkAbout, located in West Palm Beach, Florida, is a manufacturer of several lines of rugged, mobile tablet PCs,
28
serving industrial, municipal, military and government markets. We believe that the acquisition of WalkAbout has enhanced our position in the tactical computer systems business by broadening our product offerings. WalkAbout is being managed as part of our Command, Control, Communications, Computers and Intelligence (C4I) Group.
On April 15, 2005, we acquired Codem Systems, Inc. (Codem) in a stock purchase transaction for approximately $31.6 million in cash, with additional consideration payable of up to $5.0 million upon achievement of certain annual bookings targets for a period of three years. Codem, located in Merrimack, New Hampshire, is a provider of signals intelligence (SIGINT) systems, network interface modules and high-performance antenna control systems. Management believes that the addition of Codem has enhanced our existing intelligence product base. Codem is being managed as part of our C4I Group.
DRS is a supplier of defense electronic products, systems and military support services. We provide high technology products, services and support to all branches of the U.S. military, major aerospace and defense prime contractors, government intelligence agencies, international military forces and industrial markets. We operate in three principal operating segments, on the basis of products and services offered. Each operating segment is comprised of separate and distinct businesses. Our operating segments are: the Command, Control, Communications, Computers and Intelligence (C4I) Group, the Surveillance and Reconnaissance (SR) Group, and the Sustainment Systems & Services Group (S3). All other operations, primarily our Corporate Headquarters are grouped in Other.
The C4I Group is comprised of the following business areas: Command, Control and Communications (C3), which includes naval display systems, ship communications systems, radar systems, technical support, electronic manufacturing and system integration services and secure voice and data communications; Power Systems, which includes naval and industrial power generation, conversion, propulsion, distribution and control systems; Intelligence Technologies, which includes signals intelligence, communications intelligence, data collection, processing and dissemination equipment; and Tactical Systems, which includes battle management tactical computer systems and peripherals product lines.
The SR Group is comprised of the following business areas: Reconnaissance, Surveillance & Target Acquisition (RSTA), which develops and produces electro-optical sighting, targeting and weapon sensor systems, aircraft weapons alignment systems and image intensification (I2) night vision, combat identification and laser aimers/illuminator products, and provides electronic manufacturing services; Training & Control Systems, which develops and produces air combat training, electronic warfare and network systems, high-speed digital data and imaging systems, unmanned vehicles and mission and flight recorders; and Test & Energy Management, which develops and produces electronic test, diagnostics and vehicle electronics.
The S3 Group is comprised of the following business areas: Sustainment Systems, which designs, engineers and manufactures integrated military electronics and other military support equipment, primarily for the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) as well as related heat transfer and air handling equipment and power generation and distribution equipment for domestic commercial and industrial users; and Support Services, which provides engineering services, logistics and training services, advanced technology services, asset protection systems and services, telecommunication systems integration and information technology services, and vehicle armor kits for military, humanitarian, disaster recovery and emergency responder applications.
On April 1, 2006, DRS Technical Services, Inc. (TSI), an operating unit of the C4I Group, was consolidated into an operating unit of the S3 Group to achieve certain operating synergies. For the three months ended June 30, 2005 the operating unit recorded $5.2 million and $0.3 million in revenues and operating income, respectively, and $10.6 million of assets, which was considered immaterial for purposes
29
of restating prior year goodwill balances and segment information for both the C4I Group and the S3 Group.
Defense Industry Considerations and Business Strategy
The substantial majority of our revenue is generated pursuant to written contractual arrangements to design, develop, manufacture and/or modify complex products and to provide related engineering, technical and other services according to the specifications of the buyers (customers). Our primary end-use customer is the DoD. Our other customers include certain U.S. government intelligence agencies, foreign governments, commercial customers and other U.S. federal, state and local government agencies.
We believe markets for defense and related advanced technology systems and services for fiscal 2007 and beyond will continue to be affected by the global war on terrorism, through the continued need for military missions and efforts in Iraq and Afghanistan. The war on terrorism has focused greater attention on homeland security and better communication and interplay among local, state and federal government agencies and U.S. military services. We believe the United States overall defense posture continues to move toward a more joint-capabilities-based structure, which creates the ability for a more flexible response with greater force mobility, stronger space capabilities, enhanced missile defense, and improved information systems capability and security.
We believe DoD budgets have experienced increased focus on command, control, communications, computers, intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (C4ISR), precision guided weapons, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), network-centric communications, Special Operations Forces (SOF) and missile defense. In addition, we believe the DoD philosophy has focused on a transformation strategy that balances modernization and recapitalization (or upgrading existing platforms), while enhancing readiness and joint operations. As a result, we believe defense budget program allocations continue to favor advanced information technologies related to command, control, communications, and computers, (C4) and Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR). Furthermore, the DoDs emphasis on system interoperability, force multipliers and providing battlefield commanders with real-time data is increasing the electronic content of nearly all major military procurement and research programs.
Our strategy is designed to capitalize on the breadth of our technology and extensive expertise in order to meet the evolving needs of our customers. We intend to expand our share of existing programs and participate in new programs by leveraging the strong relationships that we have developed with the DoD, several other U.S. government agencies and all of the major U.S. defense prime contractors. We plan to continue to align our research and development, manufacturing and new business efforts to complement our customers requirements and to provide state-of-the-art products and services. We plan to maintain a diversified and broad business mix with limited reliance on any single program. We also intend to expand our technical services and support offerings to the DoD, thus diversifying our business beyond the historical investment accounts and into Operations and Maintenance funded activities.
A significant component of our strategy has been to enhance our existing product base through selective acquisitions that add new products and technologies in areas that complement our present business base. We intend to continue acquiring select publicly and privately held companies, as well as defense businesses of larger companies that (i) exhibit significant market position(s) in their business areas, (ii) offer products that complement and/or expand our product offerings, and (iii) display growing revenues and positive operating income and cash flow prospects.
As a government contractor, we are subject to U.S. government oversight. The government may ask about and investigate our business practices and audit our compliance with applicable rules and regulations. Depending on the results of those audits and investigations, the government could make
30
claims against us. Under government procurement regulations and practices, an indictment of a government contractor could result in that contractor being fined and/or suspended from being able to bid on, or be awarded, new government contracts for a period of time. A conviction could result in debarment for a specific period of time. Similar government oversight exists in most other countries where we conduct business.
We are party to various legal actions and claims arising in the ordinary course of our business. We believe we have adequate legal defenses for each of the actions and claims, and we believe that their ultimate disposition will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity (see Part II. Other Information, Item 1. Legal Proceedings).
Our sales to international customers involve additional risks, such as exposure to currency fluctuations and changes in foreign economic and political environments. International transactions frequently involve increased financial and legal risks arising from stringent contractual terms and conditions, and widely differing legal systems, customs and practices in foreign countries. We expect that international sales, as a percentage of our overall sales, may increase in future years as a result of, among other factors, our growth strategy and continuing changes in the defense industry.
Our future operating results depend on our ability to successfully compete in a highly competitive industry that is characterized by rapid technological change and to find and effectively integrate acquired companies into our existing operations. Continuation of our recent revenue growth rate depends primarily on our ability to identify and acquire suitable acquisition targets. We continue to participate successfully in the defense industry consolidation through strategic business acquisitions and by streamlining our existing operations; however, we cannot guarantee that we will have sufficient funds available to us to continue investing in business acquisitions.
Our consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Preparing consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. These estimates and assumptions are affected by the application of our accounting policies. Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in our March 31, 2006 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Except for the change in our accounting for share-based payments described below, there were no significant changes in the Companys critical accounting policies during the three months ended June 30, 2006. Critical accounting policies are those that require application of managements most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effects of matters that are inherently uncertain and may change in subsequent periods. Critical accounting policies for us include revenue recognition on contracts and contract estimates, valuation of goodwill and acquired intangible assets, pension plan and postretirement benefit plan obligations, accounting for income taxes, share-based payments and other management estimates.
Share-Based CompensationAs of April 1, 2006 we adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment (SFAS 123R), as interpreted by SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107 which requires that the cost resulting from all share-based payment transactions be recognized in the financial statements at their fair values. We adopted SFAS 123R using the modified prospective application method under which the provisions of SFAS 123R apply to new awards and to awards modified, repurchased, or cancelled after the adoption date. Under the fair value recognition provisions of this statement, share-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the value of the award and is recognized as expense over the vesting period. Determining the fair value of share-based awards at the grant date requires judgment, including estimating our stock price
31
volatility and employee stock option exercise behaviors. Our expected volatility is based upon the historical volatility of our stock. The expected life of share-based awards is based on observed historical exercise patterns for different groups of employees and directors. As share-based compensation expense recognized in the consolidated statement of earnings is based on awards ultimately expected to vest, the amount of expense has been reduced for estimated forfeitures. SFAS 123R requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. Forfeitures were estimated based on historical experience.
Our operating cycle is long-term and involves various types of production and service contracts and varying production delivery schedules. Accordingly, operating results of a particular period, or year-to-year comparisons of recorded revenues and earnings, may not be indicative of future operating results. Members of our senior management team regularly review key performance metrics and the status of operating initiatives within our business. These key performance indicators are primarily revenues, operating income and bookings. We review this information on a monthly basis through extensive operating segment reviews which include, among other operating issues, detailed discussions related to significant programs, proposed investments in new business opportunities or property, plant, and equipment and integration and cost reduction efforts. The following table presents a summary comparison of the key performance metrics, other significant financial metrics and significant liquidity metrics monitored by senior management of the Company.

Three-Month Period Ended June 30, 2006, Compared with the Three-Month Period Ended June 30, 2005
Revenues and operating income Consolidated revenues and operating income for the three-month period ended June 30, 2006 increased $291.8 million and $29.9 million, respectively, to $630.3 million and $65.0 million, respectively, as compared with the corresponding period in the prior year. The increase in revenues was largely driven by our January 31, 2006, acquisition of ESSI, as well as our June 27, 2005 acquisition of WalkAbout which contributed combined incremental (current quarter over corresponding prior-year quarter) revenues of $243.0 million. Also contributing to higher revenues were increased volume from embedded diagnostics, engineering and development for a certain naval infrared search and track program, and increased shipments of uncooled thermal weapons sights. Partially offsetting the overall increase in revenues were decreased shipments of combat display workstations, airborne electro-optical sighting systems and surveillance tuners.
32
The growth in operating income in the first quarter of fiscal 2007, as compared with the corresponding prior year period, was due primarily to the overall increase in revenues, as well as favorable margins from a nuclear control panel program and rugged computers for the U.K. Ministry of Defence. Partially offsetting the overall increase in operating income were lower margins realized from our intelligence businesses and on certain rugged computer systems being sold in the final year of a multi-year contract at prices lower than previously. Our acquisitions of ESSI and WalkAbout contributed $24.5 million of combined incremental operating income for the three-month period ended June 30, 2006. See Operating Segments discussion below for additional information.
As described in Note 4 to our unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements, we adopted SFAS 123R effective April 1, 2006 using the modified prospective method. As a result of the application of SFAS 123R in the three months ended June 30, 2006, we recorded share-based costs related to stock options and non-vested stock of $2.6 million, $1.8 million of which was charged to operating income. At June 30, 2006, there was $13.7 million of unrecognized compensation costs related to stock options, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average remaining period of 2.7 years. As of June 30, 2006, total unrecognized compensation costs related to non-vested stock awards was $18.1 million and that amount is expected to be recognized over a weighted average remaining period of 2.1 years.
As a result of applying SFAS 123R, our earnings before income taxes and net earnings for the three months ended June 30, 2006 were $1.8 million and $1.1 million lower, respectively, than if we had continued to account for share-based compensation under Accounting Principles Bulletin (APB) No. 25. Basic and diluted earnings per share for the three months ended June 30, 2006 would have been $0.57 per share and $0.55 per share, respectively, if we had not adopted SFAS 123R, compared to reported amounts of $0.54 per basic and $0.52 per diluted share.
Bookings We define bookings as the value of contract awards and orders received from the U.S. government, for which the U.S. government has appropriated funds, plus the value of contract awards and orders received from customers other than the U.S. government. Bookings for the three-month period ended June 30, 2006 increased $261.6 million, versus the same period in the prior year, to $782.1 million. The primary drivers of the increase were our acquisitions of ESSI and WalkAbout which contributed $279.0 million of combined incremental bookings to the three months ended June 30, 2006.
Interest and related expenses Interest and related expenses increased $17.7 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2006 as compared with the same period in the prior year, to $29.9 million. The increase in interest and related expenses is primarily the result of an increase in our borrowings outstanding for the three-months ended June 30, 2006, as compared with the corresponding period in the prior-year. Our average borrowings increased due to our January 31, 2006 issuance of $350 million of 65¤8% senior notes, $250 million issuance of 75¤8% senior subordinated notes, $300 million 2% senior convertible notes and the February 8, 2006 exercise of an overalloment option for an additional $45 million 2% senior convertible notes. In addition there was approximately $129.0 million outstanding against our revolving line of credit at June 30, 2006 (see Liquidity and Capital Resources below). We had no borrowings outstanding under our revolving credit facility at June 30, 2005.
Income taxes The provision for income taxes for the three-months ended June 30, 2006, reflected an effective income tax rate of approximately 38.9%, as compared with 42.0% in the same period last year. Our effective tax rate declined primarily due to the ESSI acquisition as well as a favorable tax adjustment of approximately $0.4 million recorded during the three months ended June 30, 2006. We anticipate that our effective income tax rate for the year ended March 31, 2007, will approximate 40.0%.

Three-Month Period Ended June 30, 2006, Compared with the Three-Month Period Ended June 30, 2005
C4I Group Revenues increased $3.5 million, or 1.8%, to $194.0 million for the three-months ended June 30, 2006, as compared with the corresponding prior-year period. Operating income increased $0.4 million, or 2.3%, to $19.9 million. The increase in revenue was principally attributable to higher engineering and development revenue from a naval infrared search and track program, increased volume for border security surveillance systems, power conversion equipment for the U.S. Navy and increased volume from a cable reset and refurbishment program. Our acquisition of WalkAbout contributed incremental (current quarter over corresponding prior-year quarter) revenues of $5.3 million to the three-months ended June 30, 2006. Largely offsetting our increases in revenues were decreased shipments of combat display workstations and surveillance tuners.
The increase in operating income for the three-months ended June 30, 2006, as compared to the corresponding period in the prior year, was driven primarily by the overall increase in revenues, as well as favorable margins on a certain nuclear control cabinet program and $0.2 million in incremental operating income from WalkAbout. Partially offsetting our overall higher operating income were lower margins in our intelligence businesses and on certain rugged computer systems being sold in the final phase of a multi-year contract at prices lower than previously.
SR Group Revenues increased $45.0 million, or 30.4%, to $193.0 million for the three-months ended June 30, 2006, as compared with the corresponding prior-year period. Operating income increased $5.0 million, or 31.4%, to $20.7 million. The increase in revenues was primarily attributable to increased demand for embedded diagnostics, increased shipments of uncooled thermal weapons sights and higher sales volume from air combat training systems and ground-based target acquisition and missile control subsystems. Partially offsetting the overall increase in revenues were lower volume from airborne electro-optical sighting systems products and services, unmanned threat emitter systems and infrared assemblies for an anti-tank missile system.
34
The increase in operating income for the three-months ended June 30, 2006, as compared with the corresponding period in the prior year was largely due to higher overall revenues.
S3 Group The S3 Group, which consists of the operating units acquired from our acquisition of ESSI on January 31, 2006, recorded revenues of $243.3 million and operating income of $24.7 million. The primary revenue and operating income drivers in the group were demand for equipment and services provided under the Rapid Response (R2) program, add-on commercial vehicle armor kits, heavy equipment transport refurbishment for the U.S. Army and mobile power generation and distribution equipment for the U.S. Air Force.
Other The operating loss in Other consists of certain non-allocable general and administrative expenses at DRS corporate.

Operating activities During the three months ended June 30, 2006, we used $25.9 million of operating cash flow, $11.4 million more than the $14.5 million of operating cash flow used in the same period in the prior year. Net earnings increased $7.2 million to $21.3 million. Non-cash adjustments to reconcile net earnings to cash flows from operating activities increased $12.6 million over the corresponding prior fiscal period, driven primarily by increased depreciation of fixed assets and amortization of the intangible assets related to our acquisition of ESSI, and increased share-based compensation due to the adoption of SFAS 123R.
Changes in assets and liabilities, net of effects from business combinations, used $71.8 million in cash for the three months ended June 30, 2006. Accounts payable used $30.9 million of cash during the period as payments required to build inventories exceeded related purchases. Accounts receivable used $20.9 million of cash as net billings exceeded collections. Inventories used $11.3 million of cash as inventories increased in certain of our electro-optical infrared sighting and targeting businesses, offset, in part, by decreased inventories within certain tactical computing businesses. Accrued expenses and other current liabilities used $11.6 million of cash. Net increases in both customer advances and net prepaid expenses and other current assets generated $9.6 million and used $6.3 million in cash, respectively.
Investing activities We paid $13.1 million for capital improvements during the three-months ended June 30, 2006, as compared with $6.3 million in the corresponding prior-year period. We expect our capital expenditures to be in the range of $50.0 million to $60.0 million in fiscal 2007, as we continue to upgrade our facilities and integrate recent acquisitions into our existing businesses. Payments pursuant to business combinations, net of cash acquired, totaled $7.7 million driven by $7.1 million of additional consideration paid to satisfy an earn-out obligation related to our acquisition of DKD, Inc. (now operating as a component of DRS Sensors & Targeting Systems, Inc.), and $0.6 million in ESSI acquisition-related payments.
Financing activities For the three months ended June 30, 2006, financing activities generated $89.4 million in cash. Net borrowings on our revolving line of credit were $89.0 million. We also received $0.9 million from the exercise of stock options and paid $1.2 million in cash dividends.
Simultaneously with the closing of our acquisition of ESSI, on January 31, 2006 we entered into an amended and restated credit facility for up to an aggregate amount of $675.0 million with a syndicate of lenders (the Credit Facility), replacing our previously existing credit facility. The Credit Facility consists of
35
a $400.0 million senior secured revolving line of credit and a $275.0 million senior secured term loan. We are permitted, on no more than two occasions, to increase the aggregate amount of the Credit Facility by up to $250.0 million, subject to certain restrictions. Any increase in the aggregate amount of the Credit Facility may be borrowed in the form of either additional term loans or available amounts under the revolving line of credit. The Credit Facility is guaranteed by substantially all of DRSs domestic subsidiaries. In addition, it is collateralized by liens on substantially all of the assets of our subsidiary guarantors and certain of DRSs other subsidiaries assets and by a pledge of a portion of certain of our non-guarantor subsidiaries capital stock.
From time to time, we enter into standby letters-of-credit and bank guarantee agreements with financial institutions and customers, primarily relating to the guarantee of its future performance on certain contracts to provide products and services and to secure advance payments we have received from our customers. As of June 30, 2006, $47.5 million was contingently payable under letters of credit and bank guarantees. Of this amount, approximately $0.9 million and $0.4 million in letters of credit and bank guarantees, respectively, as of June 30, 2006, were issued under a previous credit agreement and by a bank agreement for our U.K. subsidiary, respectively, and are not considered when determining the availability under our revolving line of credit. At June 30, 2006 approximately $38.3 million and $0.4 million in letters of credit and bank guarantees, respectively, are due within one year. At June 30, 2006, we had $224.8 million of availability under our revolving line of credit.
On March 29, 2006, DRS Technologies Canada Company (DRS Canada) established a five-year senior secured term loan for approximately $9.9 million (C$11.5 million), maturing on April 1, 2011. The proceeds of the loan were utilized to permit repatriation of certain amounts from Canada to the U.S. which were subject to more favorable tax treatment under the Jobs Act. The debt is collateralized by the assets of DRS Canada and guaranteed by DRS Technologies, Inc. We are subject to the same financial covenants under the DRS Canada loan, as we are under the Credit Facility, and DRS Canada is subject to other non-financial covenants that are similar to those described for the Credit Facility.
On October 30, 2003, we issued $350.0 million aggregate principal amount of 67¤8% senior subordinated notes, due November 1, 2013 (the October 2003 Notes). The net proceeds of the October 2003 Notes, together with a portion of our available cash and initial borrowings under the then existing credit facility, were used to fund the acquisition of Integrated Defense Technologies, Inc. (IDT), repay certain of DRSs and IDTs outstanding indebtedness, and pay related fees and expenses. The October 2003 Notes were issued under an indenture with The Bank of New York. Subject to a number of exceptions, the indenture restricts our ability and the ability of our subsidiaries to incur more debt, pay dividends and make distributions, make certain investments, repurchase stock, create liens, enter into transactions with affiliates, enter into sale lease-back transactions, merge or consolidate, and transfer or sell assets. The October 2003 Notes are unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, by DRSs current and future wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries. The foreign subsidiaries and certain domestic subsidiaries of DRS do not guarantee the October 2003 Notes.
On December 23, 2004, we issued an additional $200.0 million aggregate principal amount of 67¤8% senior subordinated notes, due November 2013 (December 2004 Notes). The December 2004 Notes were offered as additional debt securities under the Companys indenture with the Bank of New York with identical terms and the same guarantors as the October 2003 Notes.
On January 31, 2006, in connection with the acquisition of ESSI, we issued $900.0 million of new debt securities, including $350.0 million aggregate principal amount of 65¤8% senior notes due 2016, $250.0 million aggregate principal amount of 75¤8% senior subordinated notes due 2018 (collectively called the January 2006 Notes) and $300.0 million aggregate principal amount of 2.0% convertible senior notes due 2026 (Convertible Notes). On February 8, 2006, we sold an additional $45.0 million of Convertible Notes pursuant to an overallotment option exercised by the initial purchasers of the Convertible Notes. The net proceeds of the January 2006 Notes and the Convertible Notes, together with a portion of the
36
Companys available cash and initial borrowings under the Credit Facility, were used to fund the ESSI acquisition, repay certain of ESSIs outstanding indebtedness, and pay related fees and expenses. The January 2006 Notes are unsecured. The 75¤8% senior subordinated notes rank behind the Credit Facility, the 65¤8% senior notes and the Convertible Notes, other than trade payables and is pari passu with the 67¤8% senior subordinated notes.
The January 2006 Notes were issued under indentures with The Bank of New York. Subject to a number of exceptions, the indentures restrict our ability and the ability of our subsidiaries to incur more debt, pay dividends and make distributions, make certain investments, repurchase stock, create liens, enter into transactions with affiliates, enter into sale lease-back transactions, merge or consolidate, and transfer or sell assets. The January 2006 Notes are unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, by certain of our existing and future domestic subsidiaries.
Accrued interest expense at June 30, 2006 and March 31, 2006 was approximately $29.6 million and $27.3 million, respectively.
Based upon our anticipated level of future operations, we believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents balances and our cash generated from operating activities, together with available borrowings under our amended and restated senior secured credit facility, will be adequate to meet our anticipated requirements for working capital, capital expenditures, commitments, research and development expenditures, contingent purchase prices, program and other discretionary investments, and interest and principal payments for the foreseeable future. There can be no assurance, however, that our business will continue to generate cash flow at current levels. If we are unable to generate sufficient cash flow from operations to service our debt, we may be required to sell assets, reduce capital expenditures, refinance all or a portion of our existing debt or obtain additional financing. Our ability to make scheduled principal payments or to pay interest on or to refinance our indebtedness depends on our future performance and financial results, which, to a certain extent, are subject to general conditions in or affecting the defense industry and to general economic, political, financial, competitive, legislative and regulatory factors beyond our control. There can be no assurance that sufficient funds will be available to enable us to service our indebtedness, make necessary capital expenditures or to make discretionary investments.
Equity On May 12, 2006, the Board of Directors declared a $0.03 per common share cash dividend, which was paid on June 30, 2006 to stockholders of record as of June 15, 2006. On August 3, 2006, the Board of Directors declared a $0.03 per common share cash dividend, payable on September 29, 2006 to stockholders of record as of September 15, 2006.
Free Cash Flow Free cash flow represents net cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures. Free cash flow for the three-month period ended June 30, 2006 was a deficit of $39.0 million, or $18.1 million less than the deficit of $20.9 million of free cash flow in the corresponding period in the prior year. See Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures below for additional discussion and information.
EBITDA Earnings before net interest and related expenses (primarily the amortization and write-off of debt premium and issuance costs), income taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) for the three-month period ended June 30, 2006 was $83.6 million, or $38.7 million greater than the $44.9 million of EBITDA in the corresponding period in the prior year. See Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures below for additional discussion and information.
Off-Balance Sheet Financing Arrangements We have not entered into any off-balance sheet financing arrangements.
Contractual Obligations Our contractual obligations and commitments principally include obligations associated with our outstanding indebtedness, future minimum operating lease obligations, acquisition earn-outs and purchase obligations. The disclosures relating to our contractual obligations in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2006 have not materially changed since we filed that report.
37
Backlog Funded backlog represents products or services that our customers have committed by contract to purchase from us. Due to the general nature of defense procurement and contracting, the operating cycle for our military business typically has been long term. Military backlog currently consists of various production and engineering development contracts with varying delivery schedules and project timetables. Our backlog also includes a significant amount of commercial off-the-shelf (COTS)-based systems for the military, which have shorter delivery times. Accordingly, revenues for a particular period, or year-to-year comparisons of reported revenues and related backlog positions may not be indicative of future results. Backlog at June 30, 2006 was $2.56 billion, as compared with $2.40 billion at March 31, 2006. We booked $782.1 million in new orders for the three-month period ended June 30, 2006.
Internal Research and Development In addition to customer-sponsored research and development, we also engage in internal research and development. These expenditures reflect our continued investment in new technology and diversification of our products. Expenditures for internal research and development for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 were $11.0 million and $9.2 million, respectively.
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures Certain disclosures in this document include non-GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) financial measures. A non-GAAP financial measure is defined as a numerical measure of a companys financial performance that excludes or includes amounts so as to be different than the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP in the Consolidated Balance Sheets, Statements of Earnings, or Statements of Cash Flows of the Company. The components of EBITDA and a reconciliation of EBITDA and free cash flow with the most directly comparable GAAP measure follows:

(A) We define EBITDA as net earnings before net interest and related expenses (principally amortization and write-off of debt premium and issuance costs), income taxes, depreciation and amortization. The table above presents the components of EBITDA and a reconciliation of EBITDA to net cash (used in) provided by operating activities. EBITDA is presented as additional information because we believe it to be a useful indicator of our debt capacity and our ability to service our debt. EBITDA is not a substitute for operating income, net earnings or cash flows from operating activities, as determined in accordance with GAAP. EBITDA is not a complete net cash flow measure because
38
EBITDA is a measure of liquidity that does not reflect cash flows from discontinued operations, and does not include reductions for cash payments for an entitys obligation to service its debt, fund its working capital, business acquisitions, and capital expenditures and pay its income taxes. Rather, EBITDA is one potential indicator of an entitys ability to fund these cash requirements. EBITDA also is not a complete measure of an entitys profitability because it does not include costs and expenses for depreciation and amortization, interest and related expenses and income taxes, and it also does not include the results of operations of discontinued operations. EBITDA, as we define it, may differ from similarly named measures used by other entities and, consequently, could be misleading unless all entities calculate and define EBITDA in the same manner.
(B) Free cash flow is defined as net cash (used in) provided by operating activities less capital expenditures. We disclose free cash flow (deficit) because we believe that it is useful in evaluating our financial performance and measuring cash flows generated that are available for investing and financing activities. We believe that the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure to free cash flow is net cash (used in) provided by operating activities. Free cash flow represents cash generated after paying for interest on borrowings, income taxes, capital expenditures and changes in working capital, but before repaying outstanding debt, investing cash to acquire businesses and making other strategic investments, and it does not reflect cash flows of discontinued operations. Thus, key assumptions underlying free cash flow are that we will be able to refinance our existing debt when it matures with new debt and that we will be able to finance any new acquisitions we make by raising new debt or equity capital. We also use free cash flow as a performance measure as a component of our management incentive compensation program. Free cash flow, as we define it, may differ from similarly named measures used by other entities and, consequently, could be misleading unless all entities calculate and define free cash flow in the same manner.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
See Part II, Item 7A, Qualitative and Quantitative Disclosures About Market Risk, of the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006 for a discussion of the Companys exposure to market risks.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
(a) Disclosure Controls and Procedures. The Companys management, with the participation of the Companys Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Companys disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act)) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on such evaluation, the Companys Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of such period, the Companys disclosure controls and procedures are effective in recording, processing, summarizing and reporting, on a timely basis, information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act.
(b) Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. The addition of the business units added through the acquisition of ESSI on January 31, 2006, resulted in a material change in internal control over financial reporting. The acquired ESSI business units utilize separate information and accounting systems and processes. With the exception of the change in internal control over financial reporting as we integrate the acquired ESSI business units, there have not been any changes in the Companys internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the three months ended June 30, 2006 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Companys internal control over financial reporting.
39
We are party to various legal actions and claims arising in the ordinary course of our business. In our opinion, we have adequate legal defenses for each of the actions and claims.
Various legal actions, claims, assessments and other contingencies arising in the normal course of our business, including certain matters described below, are pending against us and certain of our subsidiaries. These matters are subject to many uncertainties, and it is possible that some of these matters could be ultimately decided, resolved or settled adversely. We have recorded accruals totaling $4.4 million and $4.3 million at June 30, 2006 and March 31, 2006, respectively, for losses related to those matters that it considers to be probable and that can be reasonably estimated (certain legal and environmental matters are discussed in detail below). Although the ultimate amount of liability at June 30, 2006 that may result from those matters for which we have recorded accruals is not ascertainable, we believe that any amounts exceeding our recorded accruals should not materially affect our financial condition or liquidity. It is possible, however, that the ultimate resolution of those matters could result in a material adverse effect on our results of operations for a particular reporting period.
Some environmental laws, such as the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980 (also known as CERCLA or the Superfund law) and similar state statutes, can impose liability for the entire cost of the clean up of contaminated sites upon any of the current or former site owners or operators (or upon parties who send waste to these sites), regardless of the lawfulness of the original activities that led to the contamination. In July 2000, prior to its acquisition by IDT, and prior to DRSs acquisition of IDT, Tech-Sym Corporation received a Section 104(e) Request for Information from the National Park Service (NPS), pursuant to CERCLA, regarding a site known as the Orphan Mine site in the Grand Canyon National Park, Arizona, which is the subject of an NPS investigation regarding the presence of residual radioactive materials and contamination. A corporation of which Tech-Sym is an alleged successor operated this uranium mine from 1956 to 1967. In 1962, the land was sold to the U.S. government and the alleged predecessor of Tech-Sym was given a 25-year mining lease. In 1967, the mining rights were transferred to a third party by a trustee in bankruptcy, and we believe that the mine was operated by such third party until approximately 1969. We understand that there are other companies in the chain of title to the mining rights subsequent to Tech-Syms alleged predecessor, and, accordingly, that there are other potentially responsible parties (PRPs) for the environmental conditions at the site, including the U.S. government as owner, operator and arranger at the site. During its period of ownership, IDT retained a technical consultant in connection with this matter, who conducted a limited, preliminary review of site conditions and communicated with the NPS regarding actions that may be required at the site by all of the PRPs. On February 6, 2005, the NPS sent us an Engineering Evaluation/Cost Analysis Work Plan (the NPS EE/CA) under CERCLA (the CERCLA Letter) with regards to Operable Unit 1 of the Orphan Mine site. In our view, the NPS EE/CA included additional clean up not covered by CERCLA. The CERCLA Letter also requested (a) payment of $0.5 million for costs incurred by the NPS related to the Orphan Mine, and (b) a good faith offer to conduct the response activity outlined by the NPS and to reimburse the NPS for future costs. The NPS advised that a similar letter has been sent to another PRP. We initiated discussions with the other PRP and with NPS, and engaged a technical consultant to evaluate the existing documentation and the site in depth. As a result, on September 29, 2005, the technical consultant submitted to the NPS, on behalf of us and the other PRP, an alternative Engineering Evaluation/Cost Analysis Work Plan (the alternative EE/CA) with regards to Operating Units 1 and 2 of the Orphan Mine Site.
On December 6, 2005, the PRPs and NPS met to discuss the alternative EE/CA. The meeting focused on the technical merits of the alternative EE/CA and certain differences between the alternative EE/CA and the NPS EE/CA provided with the CERCLA Letter. The differences included an alternative sampling
40
technique and the inclusion of Operable Unit 2 (the lower mine area) in the alternative EE/CA. Since that meeting in late 2005, the parties have also discussed certain legal issues relating to the process for implementing an alternative EE/CA and entering into a settlement agreement that would memorialize the parties intent. The potential liability associated with implementation of the EE/CA can change substantially due to such factors as additional information on the nature or extent of contamination, methods of remediation that might be recommended or required, changes in the apportionment of costs among the responsible parties and other actions by governmental agencies or private parties.
In connection with the ESSI acquisition, we have been made aware of certain legal actions, claims, assessments and other contingencies, certain of which are described below.
In December 2004, ESSI was notified by the Enforcement Division of the SEC of the issuance of a formal order directing a private investigation captioned In the Matter of Engineered Support Systems, Inc. and was notified that the SEC had issued subpoenas to various individuals associated with ESSI to produce certain documents. The SEC staff also requested that ESSI produce certain documents in connection with the investigation. The subpoenas related to trading in ESSI stock around ESSIs earnings releases in 2003 and to the adequacy of certain disclosures made by ESSI regarding related-party transactions in 2002 and 2003 involving insurance policies placed by ESSI through an insurance brokerage firm in which an ESSI director was a principal at the time of the transactions.
On or about September 23, 2005, the SEC staff advised ESSIs counsel that it had issued a subpoena directed to ESSI and expanded its investigation to include ESSIs disclosure of a November 2004 stop work order relating to ESSIs Deployable Power Generation and Distribution Systems (DPGDS) program for the U.S. Air Force, and relating to trading in ESSI stock by certain individuals associated with ESSI.
In connection with the foregoing SEC investigation, ESSI and certain of its directors and officers have provided information and/or testimony to the SEC. On November 14, 2005, ESSI was informed by the Enforcement Division that one of ESSIs former directors and officers, and subsequently a consultant to ESSI, had been issued a so-called Wells notice informing him that the staff of the SEC was considering recommending that the SEC bring a civil injunctive action against him in connection with the SECs investigation into trading in ESSI common stock in 2003. A Wells notice provides prospective defendants with an opportunity to respond to the SEC staff members before the staff makes a formal recommendation on whether the SEC should pursue disciplinary action against them. ESSI, itself, has not received a Wells notice and continues to cooperate with the investigation.
In January 2006, ESSI was informed that the Office of the U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Missouri was initiating an investigation into ESSIs disclosure of the DPGDS stop-work order and into trading in ESSI stock by ESSI insiders which preceded such disclosure. The U.S. Attorneys office advised ESSI that although it considered it to be a subject of its investigation, ESSI was not a target. In connection with this investigation, the U.S. Attorneys office issued ESSI a subpoena requesting specified information, which ESSI continues to furnish.
In May 2006, we were advised that the Enforcement Division of the SEC and the U.S. Attorneys office had each expanded its investigation to include possible backdating of the timing of option grants at ESSI prior to the time ESSI was acquired by DRS. As part of its investigation, the SEC has issued subpoenas to certain officers and employees of ESSI to provide testimony and produce certain documents. Although ESSI continues to be a subject of the U.S. Attorneys offices investigation, the U.S. Attorneys office has advised us that ESSI is not a target. Because the events being investigated occurred prior to the time of our acquisition of ESSI, the U.S. Attorneys office has further advised us that it considers DRS to be a witness, not a subject or target of its investigation.
We are committed to full cooperation with regard to the foregoing investigations. We are unable to determine at this time either the timing of the SEC or U.S. Attorneys office investigations or the impact, if
41
any, which the investigations could have on us. A finding that ESSI had backdated option grants could result in tax authorities disallowing all or part of related compensation deductions taken on ESSIs previous income tax returns.
In addition to the information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2006, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. The risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K are not the only risks facing our Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results.
Items 2, 3, 4 and 5 are not applicable and have been omitted
