VERSAR, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(A) Basis of Presentation
The accompanying consolidated condensed financial statements are presented in accordance with
the requirements of Form 10-Q and consequently do not include all of the disclosures normally
required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America or those
normally made in Versar, Inc.s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the United States Securities
and Exchange Commission. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
Companys Annual Report filed on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 25, 2010 for additional
information.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Versar, Inc. and
its wholly-owned subsidiaries (Versar or the Company). All significant intercompany balances
and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The financial information has been
prepared in accordance with the Companys customary accounting practices. Certain adjustments to
the financial statements are necessary for fair presentation and are of a normal recurring nature
as part of the operations of the business. In the opinion of management, the information reflects
all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the Companys consolidated financial position
as of September 24, 2010, and the results of operations for the three-month periods ended September
24, 2010 and September 25, 2009. The results of operations for such periods, however, are not
necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for a full fiscal year.
(B) Accounting Estimates
The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent
assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues
and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from those estimates.
(C) Contract Accounting
Contracts in process are stated at the lower of actual cost incurred plus accrued profits or
incurred costs reduced by progress billings. The Company records income from major fixed-price
contracts, extending over more than one accounting period, using the percentage-of-completion
method. During performance of such contracts, estimated final contract prices and costs are
periodically reviewed and revisions are made as required. The effects of these revisions are
included in the periods in which the revisions are made. On cost-plus-fee type contracts, revenue
is recognized to the extent of costs incurred plus a proportionate amount of fee earned, and on
time-and-material contracts, revenue is recognized to the extent of billable rates times hours
delivered plus material and other reimbursable costs incurred. Losses on contracts are recognized
when they become known. Disputes arise in the normal course of the Companys business on projects
where the Company is contesting with customers for collection of funds because of events such as
delays, changes in contract specifications and questions of cost allowability or collectibility.
Such disputes, whether claims or unapproved change orders in the process of negotiation, are
recorded at the lesser of their estimated net realized value or actual costs incurred and only when
realization is probable and can be reliably estimated. Claims against the Company are recognized
where loss is considered probable and reasonably determinable in amount. Management reviews
outstanding receivables on a regular basis and assesses the need for reserves taking into
consideration past collection history and other events that bear on the collectability of such
receivables.
(D) Income Taxes
At September 24, 2010, the Company had approximately $1.6 million in net deferred income tax
assets, which primarily relate to temporary differences between financial statement and income tax
reporting. Such differences include depreciation, deferred compensation, accruals and reserves. A
valuation allowance is established, as necessary, to reduce deferred income tax assets to the
amount expected to be realized in future periods. Management has determined that no valuation
allowance is required at September 24, 2010 or June 25, 2010.

VERSAR, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
(E) Debt
The Company has a line of credit facility with United Bank (the Bank) that provides for
advances up to $10 million based upon qualifying receivables. The line of credit is subject to
certain covenants related to the maintenance of financial ratios. These covenants require a
minimum tangible net worth of $17.5 million; a maximum total liabilities to tangible net worth
ratio not to exceed 2.5 to 1; and a minimum current ratio of at least 1.25 to 1. Borrowings under
the line of credit bear interest at prime less
1
/
2
% with a floor interest rate of 4.5%. Failure to
meet the covenant requirements gives the Bank the right to demand outstanding amounts due under the
line of credit, which may impact the Companys ability to finance its working capital requirements.
As of September 24, 2010, the Company had no outstanding borrowings and was in compliance with the
financial covenants of the facility. The Company has a letter of credit of approximately $455,000
outstanding under the line of credit facility which serves as collateral for surety bond coverage
provided by the Companys insurance carrier against project construction work. The letter of
credit reduces the Companys availability on the line of credit. Availability under the line of
credit at September 24, 2010 was approximately $9.5 million. Obligations under the credit facility
are guaranteed by Versar and each of its domestic subsidiaries individually and are secured by
accounts receivable, equipment and intangibles, plus all insurance policies on property
constituting collateral of Versar and its domestic subsidiaries. The line of credit matures on
September 25, 2011.
(F) Notes Receivable
In June and July 2009, the Company provided interim debt financing to General Power Green
Energy, LLC (GPC), with a current principal balance of $550,000, to fund certain GPC project start
up costs. The project involves the construction of a 15 mega watt co-generation plant that burns
landfill gas in turbine engines equipped with a steam generation unit. The note carries an annual
interest rate of 10%, currently is due on December 1, 2010 and is secured by the assets of GPC.
Accrued interest receivable on the GPC note is approximately $59,000, at September 24, 2010. In
addition, upon project financing, Versar may be engaged to purchase the equipment and construct the
facility. Versar received a 20% ownership interest in GPC in connection with providing the loan.
The Company has not assigned a value to the 20% ownership interest due to the fact that GPC is in
its developmental stage, and no value can be determined at this time.
In July 2009, the Company provided a $750,000 loan to Lemko Corporation for the purchase of
long lead telecommunication equipment for several upcoming projects. The note bears interest at a
rate of 12% and was originally due May 31, 2010. On May 28, 2010, the Company extended the loan to
Lemko through September 30, 2011, and agreed to equal quarterly payments commencing on December 31,
2010 of $187,500 plus accrued interest. In August 2010, Lemko paid approximately $62,000 interest
related to the note receivable. On September 24, 2010, accrued interest on the Lemko note is
approximately $7,000. In addition, the Company received warrants from Lemko to purchase 182,400
shares of its common stock with an exercise price of $4.11 per share that expire on June 30, 2015.
No value was given to the warrants as Lemko is a private corporation and any value assigned would
be immaterial. This note is partially secured by the equipment inventory purchased.

Basic net income per common share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average
number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per common share also
includes common stock equivalents outstanding during the period, if dilutive. The Companys common
stock equivalent shares consist of shares to be issued under outstanding stock options and unvested
shares of restricted stock.

VERSAR, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
(I) Common Stock
The Company has implemented an Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP) to allow eligible employees
of Versar the opportunity to acquire an ownership interest in the Companys common stock. As
amended, the ESPP permits employees to purchase shares of Versar common stock from the open market
at 95% of its fair market value. The ESPP qualifies as an employee stock purchase plan under
Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code.
(J) Stock-Based Compensation
In September 2010, the Company awarded 24,000 shares of restricted stock to executive officers
and employees. The awards were issued pursuant to the Versar 2005 Incentive Stock Plan and vest
over a period of two years. Stock-based compensation expense relating to all outstanding
restricted stock and option awards totaled $31,000 and $82,000 for the three months ended September
24, 2010 and September 25, 2009, respectively. These expenses were included in the direct costs of
services and overhead lines of the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
In November 2005, the stockholders approved the Versar, Inc. 2005 Stock Incentive Plan (the
2005 Plan). The 2005 Plan provides for grants of incentive awards, including stock options,
SARS, restricted stock, restricted stock units and performance based awards, to directors, officers
and employees of the Company and its affiliates as approved from time to time by the Companys
Compensation Committee. Only employees may receive stock options classified as incentive stock
options, also known as ISOs. The per share exercise price for options and SARS granted under
the 2005 Plan may not be less than the fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant.
A maximum of 400,000 shares of common stock may be awarded under the 2005 Plan. No single
director, officer, or employee may receive awards of more than 100,000 shares of common stock
during the term of the 2005 Plan. The ability to make awards under the 2005 Plan will terminate in
November 2015. As of September 24, 2010, approximately 19,000 shares are available for future
grant under the 2005 Plan.
The Company also maintains the Versar 2002 Stock Incentive Plan (the 2002 Plan), the Versar
1996 Stock Option Plan (the 1996 Plan) and the Versar 1992 Stock Option Plan (the 1992 Plan).
Under the 2002 Plan, restricted stock and other types of stock-based awards may be granted to
any employee, service provider or director to whom a grant is approved from time to time by the
Companys Compensation Committee. A
service provider is defined for purposes of the 2002 Plan as an individual who is neither an
employee nor a director of the Company or any of its affiliates but who provides the Company or one
of its affiliates substantial and important services. As of September 24, 2010, approximately
3,800 shares are available for future grant and vested options to purchase 234,700 shares of common
stock are outstanding under the 2002 Plan.
Under the 1996 Plan, options were granted to key employees, directors and service providers at
the fair market value on the date of grant. Each option expires on the earlier of the last day of
the tenth year after the date of grant or after expiration of a period designated in the option
agreement. The 1996 Plan has expired and no additional options or other stock-based awards may be
granted under this plan. The Company will continue to maintain the plan until all previously
granted options have been exercised, forfeited or expire. As of September 24, 2010, there were
vested options to purchase 45,974 shares of common stock outstanding under the 1996 Plan.
Under the 1992 Plan, options were granted to key employees at the fair market value on the
date of grant and became exercisable during the five-year period from the date of the grant at 20%
per year. Options were granted with a ten year term and expire if not exercised by the tenth
anniversary of the grant date. The 1992 Plan has expired and no additional options or other
stock-based awards may be granted under this plan. The Company will continue to maintain the plan
until all previously granted options have been exercised, forfeited or expire. As of September 24,
2010, there were vested options to purchase 81,500 shares of common stock outstanding under the
1992 Plan.

(K) New Accounting Pronouncements
In September 2009, the FASB ratified the final consensus on
Revenue With Multiple Deliverables
by issuing ASU 2009-13, which supersedes ASC 605-25 (formerly EITF Issue 00-21,
Revenue
Arrangements With Multiple Deliverables
). The ASU addresses how arrangement consideration should be
allocated to separate units of accounting, when applicable. This guidance retains the criteria from
ASC 605-25 for when delivered items in a multiple deliverable arrangement should be considered
separate units of accounting, it removes the previous separation criterion under ASC 605-25 that
objective and reliable evidence of the fair value of any undelivered items exist for the delivered
items to be considered as a separate unit or separate units of accounting. The final consensus is
effective for fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010. Entities can elect to apply it
prospectively to new or materially modified arrangements after the effective date or
retrospectively for all periods presented. The Company implemented ASU 2009-13 on June 26, 2010.
The adoption of ASU 2009-13 did not have any impact on the Companys financial position or results
of operations.
In June 2009, the FASB issued an amendment to the accounting and disclosure requirements for
the consolidation of variable interest entities, or VIEs. The elimination of the concept of
qualifying special-purpose entities, or QSPEs, removes the exception from applying the
consolidation guidance within this amendment. This amendment requires an enterprise to perform a
qualitative analysis when determining whether or not it must consolidate a VIE. The amendment also
requires an enterprise to continuously reassess whether it must consolidate a VIE. Additionally,
the amendment requires enhanced disclosures about an enterprises involvement with VIEs and any
significant change in risk exposure due to that involvement, as well as how its involvement with
VIEs impacts the enterprises financial statements. Finally, an enterprise will be required to
disclose significant judgments and assumptions used to determine whether or not to consolidate a
VIE. This amendment is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after
November 15, 2009. The Company adopted the guidance effective June 26, 2010 and adoption did not
have an impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements.
Other new accounting standards and updates issued but not effective are not expected to have a
significant effect on the Companys financial position or results of operations.

VERSAR, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
(L) Fair Value Measures
Financial assets and liabilities
The Company analyzes its financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value and
categorizes them within the fair value hierarchy based on the level of judgment associated with the
inputs used to measure their fair value in accordance with the authoritative guidance for fair
value instruments and the fair value option for financial assets and financial liabilities.
The levels as defined by the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
Level 1 Inputs are unadjusted, quoted prices in active markets for identical assets
or liabilities at the measurement date.
Level 2 Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable
for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly at the measurement date.
Level 3 Inputs are unobservable for the asset or liability and usually reflect the
reporting entitys best estimate of what market participants would use in pricing the
asset or liability at the measurement date.
Non financial assets and liabilities
The Company applies fair value techniques on a non-recurring basis associated with (1) valuing
potential impairment losses related to goodwill which are accounted for pursuant to the
authoritative guidance for intangibles goodwill and other, (2) valuing potential impairment
losses related to long-lived assets which are accounted for pursuant to the authoritative guidance
for property, plant and equipment, and (3) valuing an asset retirement liability initially measured
at fair value under the authoritative guidance for asset retirement obligations.
The Company currently has four separate business segments. Goodwill impairment is tested at
the reporting unit level. During this reporting period, goodwill is associated with the Program
Management business segment, Professional Protection Systems, Inc. (PPS), which is part of the
National Security business segment and Advent Environmental, Inc. (Advent), which is part of the
Compliance and Environmental Programs business segment. The Company determines the fair value of
these business segments based on a combination of inputs including the market capitalization of the
Company as well as Level 3 inputs such as discounted cash flows which are not observable from the
market, directly or indirectly. The Company conducts the goodwill impairment analysis annually
during the fourth quarter of the fiscal year, or upon the occurrence of certain triggering events.
The Company tests for the impairment of long-lived assets when triggering events occur and
such impairment, if any, is measured at fair value. The inputs for fair value of the long lived
assets would be based on Level 3 inputs as data used for such fair value calculations would be
based on discounted cash flows which are not observable from the market, directly or indirectly. In
fiscal year 2011, there have been no triggering events associated with reporting units carrying
long lived assets and thus no impairment analysis was conducted during the period.
The carrying amounts of Versars cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts
payable and amounts included in other current assets and current liabilities that meet the
definition of a financial instrument approximate fair value because of the short-term nature of
these amounts.
(M) Inventory
As part of the Companys acquisition of PPS, the Company acquired inventory. Such inventory
was initially recorded at fair value. The Companys inventory was subsequently valued at the lower
of cost or market and is accounted for on a first-in first-out basis.
On September 24, 2010, there were approximately $549,000 of raw materials, $89,000 of demo
stock, $554,000 of finished goods in the PPS inventory account for a total of $1,192,000. The
Companys other subsidiary, GEOMET
Technologies, LLC, also carries certain personal protective suits in its inventory. The inventory
amount at September 24, 2010 was approximately $164,000 of finished goods. Total net inventory for
the Company is $1,356,000.

VERSAR, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
(N) Other Current Liabilities
Other current liabilities include accrued 401k benefits, accrued tax withholdings, lease
liabilities, and miscellaneous accruals.
(O) Business Segments
The Company evaluates and measures the performance of its business segments based on gross
revenue, and gross profit. As such, selling, general and administrative expenses, interest and
income taxes have not been allocated to the Companys business segments.
The Companys business is currently operated through four business segments as follows:
Program Management, Compliance and Environmental Programs, Professional Services, and National
Security.
These segments were segregated based on the nature of the work, business processes, customer
base and the business environment in which each of the segments operates.
The Program Management business segment manages larger more complex projects with business
processes and management different from the rest of the Company. The Compliance and Environmental
Programs business segment provides regulatory and environmental consulting support to several
federal government and municipal agencies. The Professional Services business segment provides
outsourced personnel to various government agencies providing our clients with cost-effective
resources. The National Security business segment provides unique solutions to government and
commercial clients including testing and evaluation and personal protective systems.

ITEM 2 Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations
This report contains certain forward-looking statements which are based on current
expectations. Actual results may differ materially. The forward-looking statements include,
without limitation, those regarding the continued award of future work or task orders from
government and private clients, cost controls and reductions, the expected resolution of delays in
billing of certain projects, and the possible impact of current and future claims against the
Company based upon negligence and other theories of liability. Forward-looking statements involve
numerous risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially, including,
but not limited to, the possibility that the demand for the Companys services may decline as a
result of possible changes in general and industry specific economic conditions and the effects of
competitive services and pricing; the possibility that the Company will not be able to perform work
within budget or contractual limitations; one or more current or future claims made against the
Company may result in substantial liabilities; the possibility that the Company will not be able to
attract and retain key professional employees; changes to or failure of the Federal government to
fund certain programs in which the Company participates; delays in project funding; and such other
risks and uncertainties, described in our
Form 10-K
for fiscal year ended June 25, 2010 and in
other reports and other documents filed by the Company from time to time with the Securities and
Exchange Commission.
Financial Trends
In fiscal year 2010, the Company managed the anticipated wind down of approximately $24
million of work for the Air Force in Iraq leading to a reduction in revenue for the fiscal year.
This reduction in revenue was further compounded by a worsening economy in the United States that
significantly reduced our municipal and commercial work. The Company pursued several business
opportunities to offset this business downturn, but due to the lag time associated with the ramping
up of these alternatives, the Company had to reduce its work force by ten percent and closed two
offices during the year to balance its costs with its revenues on a going forward basis.
Due to the financial successes experienced in prior fiscal years, the Companys balance sheet
remained strong during fiscal year 2010. The Company was well positioned with its cash balance on
hand to handle the business downturn while also pursuing merger and acquisition activity. The
Company is focused on identifying additional complementary businesses to integrate with its
existing four business segments to strengthen the Companys overall depth and breadth in those
business market areas.
In January 2010, the Company acquired Professional Protection Systems, Ltd. (PPS), which is
located in Milton Keynes, United Kingdom. PPS manufactures and sells personal protective equipment
to the nuclear industry, including protective suits, decontamination showers, and emergency
shelters. The acquisition of PPS is expected to add approximately $5 million to Versars annual
revenue base and enabled the Company to cross sell Versars existing personal protective offerings
along with PPS offerings internationally. PPS has been integrated into the Companys National
Security business segments existing line of personal protective equipment for chemical and
biological protection.
In March 2010, the Company acquired Advent Environmental, Inc., (Advent) which is
headquartered in Charleston, South Carolina. Advent is a full service environmental contractor and
has significant capabilities in Military Munitions Response Plans (MMRP) and Unexploded Ordinance
(UXO) clean up. The acquisition of Advent is expected to add approximately $12 million annually
to Versars revenue base and has provided the Company with access to several new contract vehicles
within the Department of Defense. Advent has been integrated into the Companys Compliance and
Environmental business segment.
During fiscal year 2010, the Company was successful in winning a follow on contract with the
U.S. Air Force Center for Engineering and Environment (AFCEE) as part of sixteen small business
contractors for a $3 billion ID/IQ contract to provide environmental restoration, construction and
services in support of the MMRP for AFCEE. Historically, the Company has performed more than $35
million of work for AFCEE under the predecessor contract. Also, the Company added additional
contract capacity through the U.S. Army and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). This
capacity includes a new five year $29.5 million contract with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to
support the range clean up at Ft. Irwin, California, a $13 million contract in Tooele, Utah to
destroy chemical munitions and a 5 year, $7 million contract with the EPA to support the EPAs
toxic and substances exposure and risk assessment programs. The combination of these new
acquisitions and new contract vehicles provide for a stronger business base platform going into
fiscal year 2011.
14
ITEM 2 Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations (continued)
During the first quarter of fiscal year 2011, the Companys gross revenues increased by 19%
compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year, primarily as a result of increased revenues
in the Companys Compliance and Environmental and National Security business segments.
Approximately $5,207,000 of the increase in revenues was attributable to the contribution from the
operations of Advent and PPS. In addition, approximately $3,440,000 of additional revenues were
generated as a result of the contract wins mentioned above. The combination of the acquisitions
and internal growth enabled the Company to more than offset the reduction of work in Iraq in the
Program Management business segment. This trend is expected to continue for the remainder of
fiscal year 2011.
There are a number of risk factors or uncertainties that could significantly impact our future
financial performance, including the following:
|
|
|
General economic or political conditions;
|
|
|
|
Threatened or pending litigation;
|
|
|
|
The timing of expenses incurred for corporate initiatives;
|
|

Delays in project contracted engagements;
|
|
|
|
Unanticipated contract changes impacting profitability;
|
|
|

|
The cost of compliance for the Companys laboratories;
|
|
|
|
The results of a negative government audit potentially impacting our costs, reputation and
ability to work with the federal government;
|
|
|
|
Loss of key personnel;
|
|
|
|
The ability to compete in a highly competitive environment; and
|
|

Gross revenue for the first quarter of fiscal year 2011 was $29,296,000, an increase of
$4,582,000 (19%) compared to gross revenue for the first quarter of fiscal year 2010. Gross
revenue in the Program Management business segment for the first quarter of fiscal year 2011 was
$12,100,000, a decrease of $4,303,000 (26%) compared to that reported for the first quarter of
fiscal year 2010. Approximately sixty-nine percent of the decrease is due to the winding down of
our efforts in support of the U.S. Air Force in Iraq and the balance resulted from reduced
construction work in the United States. Gross revenue from Program
Management business segment includes approximately $2.2 million
from the Companys newest telecommunications division. Gross revenue for the Compliance and Environmental
Programs business segment for the first quarter of fiscal year 2011 was $8,340,000, an increase of
$4,815,000 (137%) compared to that reported for the first quarter of fiscal year 2010. The
increase is due to increased revenues associated with the Companys military munitions response
programs for the U.S. Army and the additional revenues of approximately $3,973,000 attributable to
the gross revenue from Advent.
15
ITEM 2 Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations (continued)
Gross revenue for the Professional Services business segment for the first quarter of 2011 was
$2,976,000, an increase of $238,000 (9%) compared to that reported for the first quarter of fiscal
year 2010. The increase is attributable to additional task order work performed during the first
quarter of fiscal year 2011. Gross revenue for the National Security business segment for the
first quarter of fiscal year 2011 was $5,880,000, an increase of $3,832,000 (187%) from that
reported for the first quarter of fiscal year 2010. The increase is primarily due to increased
revenues from work to support Nellis AFB and Ft. Irwin range clean up and revenue of approximately
$1,234,000 contributed by PPS.
Purchased services and materials increased by $1,704,000 (13%) in the first quarter of fiscal
year 2011 compared to the first quarter of fiscal year 2010. The increase is attributable to the
increased gross revenue in the Compliance and Environmental and National Security business segments
which was offset in part by decreased purchased services and materials as work continued to slow in
the Program Management business segment as mentioned above.
Direct costs of services and overhead include the cost to Versar of direct and overhead staff,
including recoverable and unallowable costs that are directly attributable to contracts. Direct
costs of services and overhead increased by $2,346,000 (24%) in the first quarter of fiscal year
2011 compared to that reported in the first quarter of fiscal year 2010. Approximately 79% of the
increase is attributable to the additional costs and overhead attributable to Advent and PPS, which
were acquired in the third quarter of fiscal year 2010. Such additional costs were incurred in the
Compliance and Environmental and the National Security business segments, respectively.
Gross profit for the first quarter of fiscal year 2011 was $2,885,000, an increase of $532,000
(23%) compared to that reported for the first quarter of fiscal year 2010. The increase is
primarily due to the increased gross revenue in the Compliance and Environmental and the National
Security business segments as mentioned above.

Gross profit for the Program Management business segment for the first quarter of fiscal year
2011 was $1,315,000, a decrease of $557,000 (30%) from that reported in the first quarter of fiscal
year 2010. The decrease was attributable to the decreased gross revenue and the loss of the
associated margins during the first quarter of fiscal year 2011 which
was offset by $250,000 gross profit from the telecommunications
division. Gross profit for the Compliance
and Environmental business segment for the first quarter of fiscal year 2011 was $555,000, an
increase of $607,000 compared to the loss reported in the first quarter of fiscal year 2010. The
increase is due to increased revenues, improved operating margins as a result of cost reductions
taken in fiscal year 2010 and the contribution by Advent of approximately $140,000. Gross profit
for the Professional Services business segment for the first quarter of fiscal year 2011 was
$452,000, an increase of $8,000 (2%) compared to that reported in the first quarter of fiscal year
2010. The slight increase is attributable to the increased gross revenues as mentioned above.
Gross profit for the National Security business segment was $563,000, an increase of $474,000
compared to that reported in the first quarter of fiscal year 2010. The increase was due to the
additional margins associated with the increase in gross revenue and a gross profit contribution of
$153,000 from PPS.
Selling, general and administrative expenses were $2,009,000, an increase of $34,000 (2%)
during the first quarter of fiscal year 2011 compared to that reported in the first quarter of
fiscal year 2010. The increase primarily resulted from higher annual audit and tax costs due to
the acquisitions of Advent and PPS.
16
ITEM 2 Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations (continued)
Operating income for the first quarter of fiscal year 2011 was $876,000, an increase of
$498,000 from that reported for the first quarter of fiscal year 2010. The increase is
attributable to the increased gross revenue and improved operating margins in the Compliance and
Environmental and National Security business segments during the quarter.
Interest income for the first quarter of fiscal year 2011 was $82,000, an increase of $50,000
from that reported in the first quarter of fiscal year 2010. The increase is due to interest
accrued on the Companys notes receivable, which become due within the next twelve months.
Interest expense for the first quarter of fiscal year 2011 was $43,000, an increase of $30,000
from that reported in the first quarter of fiscal year 2010. The increase is due to the financing
of the Companys corporate insurance policies and interest paid on the notes payable issued in the
acquisitions of Advent and PPS.
Income tax expense for the first quarter of fiscal year 2011 was $376,000, a $216,000 increase
from that reported in the first quarter of fiscal year 2010. The effective tax rates were 41% and
40% for the first quarter of fiscal year 2011 and 2010, respectively.
Versars net income for the first quarter of fiscal year 2011 was $539,000 compared to
$237,000 in the first quarter of fiscal year 2010.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The
Companys working capital as of September 24, 2010 was
approximately $16,005,000, compared
to $15,330,000 at June 25, 2010. The Companys current
ratio at September 24, 2010 was 1.80,
compared to 1.72 reported on June 25, 2010. The Companys financial ratios continued to improve
during the first quarter of fiscal year 2011 with expected improved operating performance.
The Company has a line of credit facility with United Bank (the Bank) that provides for
advances up to $10 million based upon qualifying receivables. The line of credit is subject to
certain covenants related to the maintenance of financial ratios. These covenants require a
minimum tangible net worth of $17.5 million; a maximum total liabilities to tangible net worth
ratio not to exceed 2.5 to 1; and a minimum current ratio of at least 1.25 to 1. Borrowings under
the line of credit bear interest at prime less
1
/
2
% with a floor interest rate of 4.5%. Failure to
meet the covenant requirements gives the Bank the right to demand outstanding amounts due under the
line of credit, which may impact the Companys ability to finance its working capital requirements.
As of September 24, 2010, the Company had no outstanding borrowings and was in compliance with the
financial covenants. The Company has a letter of credit of approximately $455,000 under the line
of credit facility which serves as collateral for surety bond coverage provided by the Companys
insurance carrier against project construction work. The letter of credit reduces the Companys
availability on the line of credit. Availability under the line of credit at September 24, 2010
was approximately $9.5 million. Obligations under the credit facility are guaranteed by Versar and
each of its domestic subsidiaries individually and are secured by accounts receivable, equipment
and intangibles, plus all insurance policies on property constituting collateral of Versar and its
domestic subsidiaries. The line of credit matures on September 25, 2011.
The Company believes that its current cash balances along with anticipated cash flows from
operations, and short term utilization of the Companys line of credit, will be sufficient to meet
the Companys liquidity needs during the current fiscal year. Expected capital requirements for
fiscal year 2011 are approximately $1,000,000, primarily for upgrades to maintain the Companys
existing information technology systems and facility improvements. Such capital requirements will
be funded through existing working capital.
17
ITEM 2 Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations (continued)
Critical Accounting Policies and Related Estimates That Have a Material Effect on Versars
Consolidated Financial Statements
Below is a discussion of the accounting policies and related estimates that we believe are the
most critical to understanding the Companys consolidated financial position and results of
operations which require management judgments and estimates, or involve uncertainties. Information
regarding our other accounting policies is included in the notes to our consolidated financial
statements included elsewhere in this report on Form 10-Q and in our annual report on Form 10-K
filed for fiscal year 2010.
Revenue recognition
: Contracts in process are stated at the lower of actual costs
incurred plus accrued profits or incurred costs reduced by progress billings. On cost-plus fee
contracts revenue is recognized to the extent of costs incurred plus a proportionate amount of fee
earned, and on time-and-material contracts revenue is recognized to the extent of billable rates
times hours delivered plus material and other reimbursable costs incurred. The Company records
income from major fixed-price contracts, extending over more than one accounting period, using the
percentage-of-completion method. During the performance of such contracts, estimated final
contract prices and costs are periodically reviewed and revisions are made as required. Fixed
price contracts can be significantly impacted by changes in contract performance, contract delays,
liquidated damages and penalty provisions, and contract change orders, which may affect the revenue
recognition on a project. Revisions to such estimates are made when they become known. Detailed
quarterly project reviews are conducted with project managers to review all project progress
accruals and revenue recognition.
There is the possibility that there will be future and currently unforeseeable adjustments to
our estimated contract revenues, costs and margins for fixed price contracts, particularly in the
later stages of these contracts. Such adjustments are common in the construction industry given
the nature of the contracts. These adjustments could either positively or negatively impact our
estimates due to the circumstances surrounding the negotiations of change orders, the impact of
schedule slippage, subcontractor claims and contract disputes which are normally resolved at the
end of the contract.
Allowance for doubtful accounts
: Disputes arise in the normal course of the Companys
business on projects where the Company is contesting with customers for collection of funds because
of events such as delays, changes in contract specifications and questions of cost allowability and
collectibility. Such disputes, whether claims or unapproved change orders in process of
negotiation, are recorded at the lesser of their estimated net realizable value or actual costs
incurred and only when realization is probable and can be reliably estimated.
Management reviews outstanding receivables on a quarterly basis and assesses the need for
reserves, taking into consideration past collection history and other events that bear on the
collectibility of such receivables. All receivables over 60 days old are reviewed as part of this
process.
Asset retirement obligation
: The Company recorded an asset retirement obligation
associated with the estimated clean-up costs for its chemical laboratory in its National Security
business segment. In accordance with ASC-410-20-05 (formerly SFAS 143, Accounting for Asset
Retirement Obligation), the Company estimated the costs to clean up the laboratory and return it to
its original state at a present value of approximately $497,000. The Company currently estimates
the amortization and accretion expense to be approximately $13,000 for the remainder of fiscal year
2011.
Goodwill and other intangible assets
: The carrying value of goodwill is approximately
$5,758,000 relating to the acquisition of Versar Global Solutions, Inc., Professional Protection
Systems, Limited and Advent Environmental, Inc. In performing its goodwill impairment analysis,
management has utilized a market-based valuation approach to determine the estimated fair value of
the acquired entities in the business segments where those entities reside. Management engages
outside professionals and valuation experts annually, as necessary, to assist in performing this
analysis and will test more often if events and circumstances warrant it. Should the business
segments financial performance not meet estimates, then impairment of goodwill would have to be
further assessed to determine whether a write down of goodwill value would be warranted. If such a
write down were to occur, it would negatively impact the Companys financial position and results
of operations. However, it would not impact the Companys cash flow or financial debt covenants.
18
ITEM 2 Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations (continued)
Share-based compensation
: The Company records stock based compensation in accordance
with the fair value provisions of ASC 718-10-1 (formerly SFAS No. 123R, Share-Based Payment).
This statement requires companies to recognize the cost of employee services received in exchange
for awards of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of those awards (the
fair-value-based method).
In the first quarter of fiscal year 2011, the Company awarded 24,000 shares of restricted
stock to key employees in recognition of their outstanding performance in the prior year, and
recorded compensation expense of $31,000 for the first quarter of fiscal year 2011.
New accounting pronouncements
: In September 2009, the FASB ratified the final
consensus on
Revenue With Multiple Deliverables
by issuing ASU 2009-13, which supersedes ASC 605-25
(formerly EITF Issue 00-21,
Revenue Arrangements With Multiple Deliverables
). The ASU addresses how
arrangement consideration should be allocated to separate units of accounting, when applicable.
This guidance retains the criteria from ASC 605-25 for when delivered items in a multiple
deliverable arrangement should be considered separate units of accounting, it removes the previous
separation criterion under ASC 605-25 that objective and reliable evidence of the fair value of any
undelivered items exist for the delivered items to be considered as a separate unit or separate
units of accounting. The final consensus is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after June
15, 2010. Entities can elect to apply it prospectively to new or materially modified arrangements
after the effective date or retrospectively for all periods presented. The Company implemented ASU
2009-13 on June 26, 2010. The adoption of ASU 2009-13 did not have any impact on the Companys
financial position or results of operations.
In June 2009, the FASB issued an amendment to the accounting and disclosure requirements for
the consolidation of variable interest entities, or VIEs. The elimination of the concept of
qualifying special-purpose entities, or QSPEs, removes the exception from applying the
consolidation guidance within this amendment. This amendment requires an enterprise to perform a
qualitative analysis when determining whether or not it must consolidate a VIE. The amendment also
requires an enterprise to continuously reassess whether it must consolidate a VIE. Additionally,
the amendment requires enhanced disclosures about an enterprises involvement with VIEs and any
significant change in risk exposure due to that involvement, as well as how its involvement with
VIEs impacts the enterprises financial statements. Finally, an enterprise will be required to
disclose significant judgments and assumptions used to determine whether or not to consolidate a
VIE. This amendment is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after
November 15, 2009. The Company adopted the guidance effective June 26, 2010 and adoption did not
have an impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements.
Other new accounting standards and updates issued but not effective are not expected to have a
significant effect on the Companys financial position or results of operations.
Impact of Inflation
Versar seeks to protect itself from the effects of inflation. The majority of contracts the
Company performs are for a period of a year or less or are cost-plus-fixed-fee type contracts and,
accordingly, are less susceptible to the effects of inflation. Multi-year contracts include
provisions for projected increases in labor and other costs.
Contingencies
Versar and its subsidiaries are parties to various legal actions arising in the normal course
of business. The Company believes that the ultimate resolution of these legal actions will not
have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial position and results of operations.
Business Segments
Versar currently has four business segments: Program Management, Compliance and Environmental
Programs, Professional Services, and National Security.
19
Item 3 Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
The Company has not entered into any transactions using derivative financial instruments or
derivative commodity instruments and believes that its exposure to interest rate risk and other
relevant market risk is not material.
Item 4 Controls and Procedures
As of the last day of the period covered by this report, the Company carried out an
evaluation, under the supervision of the Companys Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial
Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Companys disclosure controls and
procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-15. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive
Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Companys disclosure controls and procedures
are effective, as of such date, to ensure that required information will be disclosed on a timely
basis in its reports under the Exchange Act.
Further, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our
disclosure controls and procedures have been designed to ensure that information required to be
disclosed in reports filed by us under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our
management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, in a manner to allow
timely decisions regarding the required disclosure.
There were no changes in the Companys internal control over financial reporting during the
last quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the
Companys internal control over financial reporting.
20
PART II OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1 Legal Proceedings
Versar and its subsidiaries are parties from time to time to various legal actions arising in
the normal course of business. The Company believes that any ultimate unfavorable resolution of
these legal actions will not have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial condition
and results of operations.
Item 2 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
During the first quarter of fiscal year 2011, employees of the Company surrendered shares of
common stock to the Company to pay the vested price of the restricted shares. The purchase price
of this stock was based on the closing price of the Companys common stock on the NYSE Amex on the
date of surrender.

CHANGE IN CONTROL
SEVERANCE AGREEMENT
This Agreement between Anthony L. Otten (you) and VERSAR, INC.(Company) has been entered into
as of May 24, 2010. This Agreement promises you severance benefits if, following a Change of
Control, you are terminated without Cause or resign for Good Reason during the Term of this
Agreement. Capitalized terms are defined in the last section of this Agreement.
1. Purpose
The Company considers a sound and vital management team to be essential. Management
personnel who become concerned about the possibility that the Company may undergo a Change
in Control may terminate employment or become distracted. Accordingly, the Board has
determined that appropriate steps should be taken to minimize the distraction certain
executives may suffer from the possibility of a Change in Control. One step is to enter into
this Agreement with you while you hold the position as Chief Executive Officer. Once you no
longer hold this position, except following or in connection with the triggering of
severance benefits as set forth in Section 3 below, this Severance Agreement shall
immediately terminate and be null and void as set forth in Section 20q hereof.
2. Your Agreement
If one or more Potential Changes in Control occur during the Term of this Agreement, you
agree not to resign for at least six full calendar months after a Potential Change in
Control occurs, except as follows: (a) you may resign after a Change in Control occurs; (b)
you may resign if you are given Good Reason to do so; and (c) you may terminate employment
on account of retirement on or after age 65 or because you become unable to work due to
serious illness or injury.
3. Events That Trigger Severance Benefits
|
a.
|
|
Termination After a Change in Control
|
You will receive Severance Benefits under this Agreement if, during the Term of this
Agreement and after a Change in Control has occurred, your employment is terminated
by the Company without Cause (other than on account of your Disability or death) or
you resign for Good Reason.
|
b.
|
|
Termination After a Potential Change in Control
|
You also will receive Severance Benefits under this Agreement if, during the Term of
this Agreement and after a Potential Change in Control has occurred but before a
Change in Control actually occurs, your employment is terminated by the Company
without Cause or you resign for Good Reason, but only if either: (i) you are
terminated at the direction of a Person who has entered into an agreement with the
Company that will result in a Change in Control; or (ii) the event constituting Good
Reason occurs at the direction of such Person.
|
c.
|
|
Successor Fails to Assume This Agreement
|
You also will receive Severance Benefits under this Agreement if, during the Term of
this Agreement, a successor to the Company fails to assume this Agreement, as
provided in Section 12(a).
- 1 -
4. Events That Do Not Trigger Severance Benefits
You will not be entitled to Severance Benefits if your employment ends because you are
terminated for Cause or on account of Disability or because you resign without Good Reason,
retire, or die. Except as provided in Section 3(c), you will not be entitled to Severance
Benefits while you remain protected by this Agreement and remain employed by the Company,
its affiliates, or their successors.
5. Termination Procedures
If you are terminated by the Company after a Change in Control and during the Term of this
Agreement, the Company shall provide you with 30 days advance written notice of your
termination, unless you are being terminated for Cause. The notice will indicate why you are
being terminated and will set forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances claimed
to provide a basis for your termination. If you are being terminated for Cause, your notice
of termination will include a copy of a resolution duly adopted by the affirmative vote of
not less than 51 % of the entire membership of the Board (at a meeting of the Board called
and held for the purpose of considering your termination (after reasonable notice to you and
an opportunity for you and your counsel to be heard before the Board)) finding that, in the
good faith opinion of the Board, Cause for your termination exists and specifying the basis
for that opinion in detail. If you are purportedly terminated without the notice required by
this Section, your termination shall not be effective.
6. Severance Benefits
If you become entitled to Severance Benefits under this Agreement, you will receive
all of the Severance Benefits described in this Section.
|
b.
|
|
Lump-Sum Payment in Lieu
of
Future Compensation
|
In lieu of any further cash compensation for periods after your employment ends,
other than cash compensation paid pursuant to any agreement governing the terms of a
Change in Control payable to all similarly situated persons, you will be paid a cash
lump sum equal to 2 times your annual base salary in effect when your employment
ends or, if higher, in effect immediately before the Change in Control, Potential
Change in Control, or Good Reason event for which you terminate employment. In
addition, and without duplication, you will be paid a cash lump sum equal to 2 times
the higher of the amounts paid to you (if any) under any existing bonus or incentive
plans in the calendar year preceding the calendar year in which your employment ends
or in the calendar year preceding the calendar year in which the Change in Control
occurred (or in which the Potential Change in Control occurred, if benefits are
payable under Section 3(b)hereof).
|
c.
|
|
Incentive Compensation and Options
|
The Company will pay you a cash lump sum equal to any unpaid incentive compensation
(that is not otherwise paid to you) that you have been allocated or awarded under
any existing bonus or incentive plans for measuring periods completed before you
became entitled to Severance Benefits under this Agreement. All unvested options to
purchase Company common stock will immediately vest and remain exercisable for the
longest period of time permitted
under the applicable stock option plan. All unvested restricted stock awards
awarded to you will immediately vest.

thereafter, the Company shall provide, at no cost to you or your spouse or
dependents, health and dental insurance benefits (or substantially similar benefits)
it was providing to you and your spouse and dependents immediately before you became
entitled to Severance Benefits under this Agreement. The Company subsidized health
and dental insurance coverage shall be treated as satisfying the Companys COBRA

may continue any remaining COBRA coverage at your sole cost and expense.

beginning thereafter, the Company shall provide, at no cost to you or your spouse or
dependents, the life, disability and accident benefits (or substantially similar
benefits) it was providing to you and your spouse and dependents before you became

reduction that constitutes Good Reason, if you terminate employment for that Good
Reason).
In lieu of the medical and tax accounting benefits available to the Companys
officers, you will be entitled to a lump sum payment of $16,000.00.
The Company provides certain medical benefits to retired CEOs and Vice Presidents.
If you become entitled to Severance Benefits under this Agreement, then you are
deemed to have retired for purposes of this benefit and the Company shall provide,
at no cost to you, continued medical benefits it was providing you and your spouse
and dependents immediately before you became entitled to Severance Benefits under
this Agreement.
7. Time for Payment
Subject to the provisions of Section 21 hereof, you will be paid your cash Severance
Benefits within five days after you become entitled to Severance Benefits under this
Agreement (e.g., within five days following your termination of employment). If the amount
you are due cannot be finally determined within that period, you will receive the minimum
amount to which you are clearly entitled, as estimated in good faith by the Company. The
Company will pay the balance you are due (together with interest at the rate provided in
Internal Revenue Code Section 1274(b)(2)(B)) as soon as the amount can be determined, but in
no event later than 30 days after you terminate employment. If your estimated payment
exceeds the amount you are due, the excess will be a loan to you, which you must repay to
the Company within five business days after demand by the
Company (together with interest at the rate provided in Code Section 1274(b)(2)(B)). In no
event will any cash Severance Benefits be paid to you later than March 15 of the calendar
year following the calendar year in which you become entitled to such Severance Benefits.
- 3 -
8. Payment Explanation
When payments are made to you, the Company will provide you with a written statement
explaining how your payments were calculated and the basis for the calculations. This
statement will include any opinions or other advice the Company has received from auditors
or consultants as to the calculation of your benefits. If your benefit is affected by the
golden parachute limitation in Section 9, the Company will provide you with calculations
relating to that limitation and any supporting materials you reasonably need to permit you
to evaluate those calculations.
9. Potential Limitations
|
a.
|
|
Golden Parachute Limitation
|
Your aggregate payments and benefits under this Agreement and all other contracts,
arrangements, or programs shall not exceed the maximum amount that may be paid
without triggering golden parachute penalties under Section 280G and related
provisions of the Internal Revenue Code, as determined in good faith by the
Companys independent auditors. The preceding sentence shall not apply to the extent
the shareholder approval requirements of Code Section 280G(b)(5) are satisfied. If
your benefits must be reduced to avoid triggering such penalties, the Company shall
reduce your benefits that are not considered deferred compensation subject to Code
Section 409A before it reduces any benefits that are considered deferred
compensation subject to Code Section 409A. If an amount in excess of the limit set
forth in this Section is paid to you, you must repay the excess amount to the
Company on demand, with interest at the rate provided in Code Section 1274(b)(2)(B).
You and the Company agree to cooperate with each other reasonably in connection with
any administrative or judicial proceedings concerning the existence or amount of
golden parachute penalties on payments or benefits you receive.
|
b.
|
|
Section
162(m)
Limitation
|
To the extent payments or benefits under this Agreement would not be deductible
under Code Section 162(m) if made or provided when otherwise due under this
Agreement, they shall be made or provided later, immediately after Section 162(m)
ceases to preclude their deduction, with interest thereon at the rate provided in
Code Section 1274(b)(2)(B).
10. Disability
Following a Change in Control, while you are absent from work as a result of physical or
mental illness, the Company will continue to pay you your full salary and provide you all
other compensation and benefits payable to you under the Companys compensation or benefit
plans, programs, or arrangements. These payments will stop if and when your employment is
terminated by the Company for Disability as described in Section 20(h) hereof or at the end
of the Term of this Agreement, whichever is earlier. Severance
Benefits under this Agreement are not payable if you are terminated on account of your
Disability.
- 4 -
11. Effect of Reemployment
Your Severance Benefits will not be reduced by any other compensation you earn or could have
earned from another source.
12. Successors
In addition to obligations imposed by law on a successor to the Company, during the
Term of this Agreement the Company will require any successor to all or
substantially all of the business or assets of the Company expressly to assume and
to agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that
the Company was required to perform. If the Company fails to obtain such an
assumption and agreement before the effective date of a succession, you will be
entitled to Severance Benefits as if you were terminated by the Company without
Cause on the effective date of that succession.
This Agreement will inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, your personal or
legal representatives, executors, administrators, successors, heirs, distributees,
devisees, and legatees. If you die while any amount is still payable to you under
this Agreement, that amount will be paid to the executor, personal representative,
or administrator of your estate.
13. Amendments
This Agreement may be modified only by a written agreement executed by you and an authorized
officer of the Company.
14. Governing Law
This Agreement creates a top hat employee benefit plan subject to the Employee Retirement
Income Security Act of 1974, and it shall be interpreted, administered, and enforced in
accordance with that law; the Company is the plan administrator. To the extent that state
law is applicable, the statutes and common law of the State of Virginia (excluding its
choice of laws statutes or common law) shall apply.
15. Claims

procedures set forth in this Section. The Company will pay your reasonable
attorneys fees and related costs in enforcing your rights under this Agreement.
Your claim must be presented to the Company in writing. Within 30 days after

claim and issue his or her determination thereon in writing. With your consent, the

manner, you may treat the claim as having been denied by the claims official.
- 5 -

days, provide you with written notice of the denial, setting forth, in a manner
calculated to be understood by you: (i) the specific reason or reasons for the
denial; (ii) specific references to the provisions on which the denial is based;
(iii) a description of any additional material or information necessary for you to
perfect your claim, together with an explanation of why the material or information

Appeal of Denied Claims
|
You may appeal the claims officials denial of your claim in writing to an appeals
official designated by the Company (which may be a person, committee, or other
entity) for a full and fair appeal. You must appeal a denied claim within five days
after your receipt of written notice denying your claim, or within 60 days after
such written notice was due, if the written notice was not sent. In connection with
the appeals proceeding, you (or your duly authorized representative) may review
pertinent documents and may submit issues and comments in writing. You may only
present evidence and theories during the appeal that you presented during the
initial claims stage, except for information the claims official requested you to
provide to perfect the claim. You will irrevocably waive any theories you do not in
good faith pursue through the appeal stage, such as by failing to file a timely
appeal request.
The decision by the appeals official will be made within 60 days after your appeal
request, unless special circumstances require an extension of time, in which case
the decision will be rendered as soon as possible, but not later than ten days after
your appeal request, unless you agree to a greater extension of that deadline. The
appeal decision will be in writing, set forth in a manner calculated to be
understood by you; it will include specific reasons for the decision, as well as
specific references to the pertinent provisions of this Agreement on which the
decision is based.
The Company will adopt procedures by which initial claims and appeals will be
considered and resolved; different procedures may be established for different
claims. All procedures will be designed to afford you full and fair consideration of
your claim.
- 6 -
In the event that any dispute arises, following satisfaction of the claim procedures
outlined in this Section 15, related to the validity, interpretation, enforcement or
performance of this Agreement, the dispute shall be submitted to binding arbitration
in accordance with the Employment Rules of the American Arbitration Association.
The aggrieved party must give written notice of any claim to the other party no
later than the expiration of the statute of limitations (deadline for filing) that
the law prescribes for the claim. Otherwise, the claim shall be void and deemed
waived. The arbitrator may award any remedy that would otherwise be available to a
court of competent jurisdiction. The decision of the arbitrator shall be final and
binding and shall be fully enforceable in any court having jurisdiction and venue
over the parties. The arbitrator shall have no power to alter, modify, ignore, or
otherwise deviate from the express terms of this Agreement, and the arbitrator shall
be bound by controlling law. The arbitrators decision shall be provided to the
parties in writing and shall succinctly set forth the arbitrators findings of fact,
conclusions of law, and remedy, if any. The cost of such arbitration shall be paid
by the Company, except you shall pay an administrative fee equivalent to the filing
fee to initiate a similar claim in the local court of general jurisdiction if you
are the party initiating the claim. The parties hereto agree that any action to
compel arbitration pursuant to this Agreement may be brought in the appropriate
Virginia state court, and in connection with such action to compel, the laws of
Virginia shall control. Application may also be made to such court for confirmation
of any decision or award of the arbitrator, for an order of enforcement and for any
other remedies which may be necessary to effectuate such decision or award. The
parties hereto hereby consent to the jurisdiction of the arbitrator and of such
court and waive any objection to the jurisdiction of such arbitrator and court.

This Agreement does not give you the right to be retained in the service of the Company.
17. Validity

in effect immediately before the Change in Control (or, with respect to Section
3(b), the Potential Change in Control), or there is a material and adverse
change in your reporting responsibilities or in the size of the budget you
administer in effect immediately before the Change in Control (or, with respect
to Section 3(b), the Potential Change in Control), provided that no demotion
will be deemed to occur solely as a result of the Company ceasing to be a public
company, a change in your title, or your transfer to an affiliate.
Your annual base salary is materially reduced.
Your principal office is materially relocated, which increases your one-way
commute to work by more than 50 miles, based on your residence when the transfer
was announced.
The Company materially breaches this Agreement, your employment agreement or any
other agreement between you and the Company pursuant to which you perform
services for the Company or compensation and benefits are provided to you.
The Company terminates your employment, other than pursuant to a notice of
termination satisfying the requirements of Section 5 hereof.
However, an event that is or would constitute Good Reason shall cease to be Good Reason if:
(a) you fail to provide written notice to the Company within 90 days following the initial
existence of the event described in paragraphs (1) through (4) above; (b) the Company
reverses or otherwise cures the event within 30 days of receiving such notice; (c) you do
not terminate employment within 180 days after the event occurs; or (d) you were a primary
instigator of the Good Reason event and the circumstances make it inappropriate for you to
receive benefits under this Agreement (e.g., you agree temporarily to relinquish your
position on the occurrence of a merger transaction you negotiate). If you have Good Reason
to terminate employment, you may do so even if you are on a leave of absence due to physical
or mental illness or any other reason.
