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 Company’s 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 Company’s 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 Company’s 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 Company’s 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 Company’s 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 Company’s insurance carrier against project construction work. The letter of credit reduces the Company’s 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.

(H) Net Income Per Share
Basic net income per common share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per common share also includes common stock equivalents outstanding during the period, if dilutive. The Company’s common stock equivalent shares consist of shares to be issued under outstanding stock options and unvested shares of restricted stock.

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 Company’s 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 Company’s Compensation Committee. Only employees may receive stock options classified as “incentive stock options”, also known as “ISO’s”. 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 Company’s 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 Company’s 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 enterprise’s involvement with VIEs and any significant change in risk exposure due to that involvement, as well as how its involvement with VIEs impacts the enterprise’s 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 Company’s 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 entity’s 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 Versar’s 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 Company’s acquisition of PPS, the Company acquired inventory. Such inventory was initially recorded at fair value. The Company’s 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 Company’s 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.

(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 Company’s business segments.
The Company’s 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 Management’s 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 Company’s 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 Company’s 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 Company’s 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 Versar’s annual revenue base and enabled the Company to cross sell Versar’s existing personal protective offerings along with PPS offerings internationally. PPS has been integrated into the Company’s National Security business segment’s 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 Versar’s 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 Company’s 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 EPA’s 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.

ITEM 2 Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)
During the first quarter of fiscal year 2011, the Company’s gross revenues increased by 19% compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year, primarily as a result of increased revenues in the Company’s 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;
    Employee hiring, utilization, and turnover rates;
    The seasonality of spending in the federal government and for commercial clients;
    Delays in project contracted engagements;
    Unanticipated contract changes impacting profitability;
    Reductions in prices by our competitors;
    The ability to obtain follow-on work;
    Failure to properly manage projects resulting in additional costs;
    The cost of compliance for the Company’s 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
    Federal funding delays due to wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

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 Company’s 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 Company’s 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.

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.

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 Company’s 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 Company’s 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.
Versar’s 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 Company’s working capital as of September 24, 2010 was approximately $16,005,000, compared to $15,330,000 at June 25, 2010. The Company’s current ratio at September 24, 2010 was 1.80, compared to 1.72 reported on June 25, 2010. The Company’s 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 Company’s 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 Company’s insurance carrier against project construction work. The letter of credit reduces the Company’s 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 Company’s line of credit, will be sufficient to meet the Company’s 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 Company’s existing information technology systems and facility improvements. Such capital requirements will be funded through existing working capital.

ITEM 2 Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)
Critical Accounting Policies and Related Estimates That Have a Material Effect on Versar’s Consolidated Financial Statements
Below is a discussion of the accounting policies and related estimates that we believe are the most critical to understanding the Company’s 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 Company’s 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 segment’s 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 Company’s financial position and results of operations. However, it would not impact the Company’s cash flow or financial debt covenants.

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 Company’s 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 enterprise’s involvement with VIEs and any significant change in risk exposure due to that involvement, as well as how its involvement with VIEs impacts the enterprise’s 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 Company’s 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.

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 Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-15. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s 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 Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the last quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

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).

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
  a.  
In General
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.

  d.  
Group Insurance Benefit Continuation
During the period that begins when you become entitled to Severance Benefits under this Agreement and ends on the last day of the 18th calendar month beginning 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.

After this subsidized coverage ends, you, your spouse and dependents may continue any remaining COBRA coverage at your sole cost and expense.
  e.  
Group Benefit Continuation
During the period that begins when you become entitled to Severance Benefits under this Agreement and ends on the last day of the 24 th calendar month 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 entitled to Severance Benefits under this Agreement (or immediately before a benefit reduction that constitutes Good Reason, if you terminate employment for that Good Reason).
  f.  
Officer Benefits
In lieu of the medical and tax accounting benefits available to the Company’s officers, you will be entitled to a lump sum payment of $16,000.00.
  g.  
Medical Benefits
The Company provides certain medical benefits to retired CEO’s 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.

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 Company’s 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 Company’s 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.

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
  a.  
Assumption Required
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.
  b.  
Heirs and Assigns
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.

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
  a.

  b.  
Initial Claim
Your claim must be presented to the Company in writing. Within 30 days after receiving the claim, a claims official appointed by the Company will consider your claim and issue his or her determination thereon in writing.

- 5 -


 

  c.  
Claim Decision
If your claim is granted, the benefits or relief you are seeking will be provided. If your claim is wholly or partially denied, the claims official shall, within three 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 is necessary; and (iv) an explanation of the procedures for appealing denied claims.

  d.  
Appeal of Denied Claims
You may appeal the claims official’s 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.
  e.  
Appeal Decision
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.
  f.  
Procedures
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.

  g.  
Arbitration
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 arbitrator’s decision shall be provided to the parties in writing and shall succinctly set forth the arbitrator’s 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.
16. Limitation on Employee Rights
This Agreement does not give you the right to be retained in the service of the Company.
17. Validity
The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement.
18. Counterparts
This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts, each of which will be deemed an original, but all of which will constitute one and the same instrument.

  a.
