See Accompanying Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. 3 NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) 1. Basis of Presentation The condensed consolidated interim financial statements of Digital Fusion, Inc. ("Digital Fusion," "DFI," or the "Company") have been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission with respect to Form 10-QSB. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures made herein are adequate to make the information contained herein not misleading. These condensed consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2004 and the notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB. In the Company's opinion, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring) necessary for a fair presentation of the information shown herein have been included. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations expected for the full year. 2. Earnings per Share and Stock-Based Compensation The Company accounts for stock-based compensation issued to employees under the intrinsic value based method of accounting prescribed by Accounting Principles Board ("APB") Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," and related interpretations. Under the intrinsic value based method, compensation cost is measured on the date of grant as the excess of the quoted market price of the underlying stock over the exercise price. Such compensation amounts are amortized over the vesting periods of the options. During the three months ended September 30, 2005, 590,750 stock options were granted to employees and directors. During the nine months ended September 30, 2005, 1,561,250 stock options were granted to employees and directors. The following table illustrates the effect on net loss and loss per share as if the fair value based method of accounting had been applied to stock-based employee compensation, as required by SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" and SFAS 148 "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation - transition and disclosure," an amendment of SFAS No. 123 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. (in thousands, except per share data): 4
Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30, 2005 2004 2005 2004 ------------------ ------------------ ------------------ ----------------- Net income (loss), as reported $ 89 $ (327) $ 196 $ (650) Less: stock-based compensation expense, net of tax $ (297) $ (61) $ (539) $ (136) ----------------- ----------------- ----------------- ----------------- Net loss, pro forma (208) (388) (343) (786) ================= ================= ================= ================= Basic net income (loss) per share : As reported $ 0.01 $ (0.04) $ 0.02 $ (0.09) ================= ================= ================= ================= Pro forma $ (0.02) $ (0.05) $ (0.03) $ (0.10) ================= ================= ================= ================= Diluted net income (loss) per share: As reported $ 0.01 $ (0.04) $ 0.02 $ (0.09) ================= ================= ================= ================= Pro forma $ (0.02) $ (0.05) $ (0.03) $ (0.10) ================= ================= ================= =================
The pro forma amounts reflected above are not representative of the effects on reported net income in future years because, in general, the options granted typically do not vest for several years and additional awards are made each year. The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the grant date using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions: 2005 2004 --------- ------- Risk-free interest rate 4.08% 4.35% Dividend yield 0% 0% Expected life - years 10 10 Volatility 54% 57% 5 3. Earnings (Loss) Per Share Data Common stock equivalents in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004, were anti-dilutive due to the net losses sustained by the Company during this period. Therefore, the diluted weighted average common stock shares outstanding in this period are the same as the basic weighted average common stock shares outstanding. However, if the company had net income the diluted weighted average number of shares would have been 8,837,143 and 8,186,955 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004, respectively. Earnings per common share are computed in accordance with SFAS No. 128, "Earnings Per Share," which requires companies to present basic earnings per share and diluted earnings per share. Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per common share are computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding and dilutive options outstanding during the year. 4. Income Taxes The income tax expense for the Company's income from operations generated during the nine months of 2005 was offset by a reduction in the valuation allowance established against deferred tax assets arising from prior periods. For the nine month period ended September 30, 2004, the Company did not recognize an income tax benefit for its operating losses generated in that period based on uncertainties concerning its ability to generate taxable income in future periods. In future periods, tax benefits and related deferred tax assets will be recognized when management considers realization of such amounts to be more likely than not. 5. Debt During April 2005, the Company paid a note holder $216,996 that was comprised of $183,946 of principal and the remaining amount was accrued interest on his note. Additionally, in April the Company refinanced two notes held by the Company's former Chief Executive Officer, Roy Crippen, by executing a $374,304 convertible note. The convertible note bears an annual interest rate of prime and interest is payable monthly. Mr. Crippen can convert the note into the Company's common stock at a conversion price of $2.43 per share. The note matures on April 29, 2007. On May 26, 2005, Digital Fusion amended its secured revolving line of credit agreement with a local bank. The Amendment (a) extended the maturity date to May 20, 2006, (b) stated the rate of interest at prime, payable monthly and (c) secured the line of credit by the Company's receivables and certain guarantees. The line of credit is not to exceed the lower of 90% of eligible accounts receivable or $3.5 million. On July 1, 2005, the Company paid an installment payment as required by the Summit Research Corporation ("Summit") acquisition documents of $905,047 that was comprised of $877,195 of principal and the remaining amount was accrued interest. See Note 6 below for a discussion of the debt acquired during the first quarter of 2005 from the acquisition of Summit Research Corporation. The Summit acquisition is described in more detail in section 7. below. 6 6. Commitments Government Contracting Payments to the Company on cost-plus-fee contracts are provisional and are subject to adjustment upon audit by the Defense Contract Audit Agency (DCAA). In the opinion of management, audit adjustments that may result from DCAA audits are not expected to have a material effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. 7. Summit Acquisition On January 3, 2005, the Company closed on its acquisition of Summit Research Corporation. To purchase all of the outstanding capital stock of Summit, the Company (a) paid $1.6 million in cash (b) issued 575,000 shares of its common stock (c) entered into a six-month note for $898,692 (6% annual interest) and (d) executed a convertible promissory note for $2.7 million. The note holder may convert the principal portion of the convertible note into the Company's common stock at a conversion price of $2.25 per share. In the event the entire convertible note is converted, the note holder will receive a total of 1.2 million shares of the Company's common stock. The annual interest rate is 5%; however, no interest shall accrue for the first six months and during any calendar month in which the average closing price of the publicly traded Company's common stock is greater than $2.80 per share. The Company recorded imputed interest of $228,000. The estimates used to determine the imputed interest will be reviewed each quarter and adjusted as needed. The Company has not made adjustments to this estimate through September 30, 2005. The imputed interest amount of $228,000 will be amortized to interest expense over a four-year period. The Company also estimated the intrinsic value of the embedded beneficial conversion options of the $2.7 million note at $769,000. The $769,000 will be amortized to interest expense over the life of the note. In conjunction with this acquisition, on January 3, 2005, the Company entered into employment agreements with two individuals with Summit. The annual salaries for these two individuals total $310,000 per year for two years or when the convertible note is paid off whichever is later. The Company included the results of Summit in its financial statements beginning January 1, 2005. The following table summarizes the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. During the three months ended June 30, 2005, the Company finished its evaluation of the intangibles purchased and finalized the purchase price allocation. The $1.9 million of intangible assets represents $1.7 million allocated to customer base intangibles and $275,000 allocated to employment and non-compete agreements.

On January 3, 2005, as part of the acquisition of Summit Research Corporation, the Company issued 575,000 shares of its common stock. Effective March 17, 2005, Madison Run, LLC exercised warrants to purchase 354,054 shares of the Company's common stock. The Company received $333,108 from the exercise of these warrants. On June 6, 2005, Madison Run, LLC exercised warrants to purchase 212,839 shares of the Company's common stock. The Company received $200,069 from the exercise of these warrants. 8 In addition to the Madison Run, LLC and Summit acquisition transactions above, the Company issued 208,417 shares of common stock to fulfill stock option and stock warrant exercises during the nine months ended September 30, 2005. The stock options and stock warrants had exercise prices ranging from $0.33 to $1.01. The Company received proceeds totaling $155,622 from the exercise of these stock options and stock warrants during the nine months ended September 30, 2005. The Board of Directors has approved an amendment to the Company's Restated Certificate of Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock the Company is authorized to issue from Sixteen Million (16,000,000) shares to Thirty Million (30,000,000) shares. The Company's authorized Preferred Stock of One Million (1,000,000) shares will remain unchanged. At the Company's Annual Meeting of stockholders held on June 28, 2005, stockholders approved the proposal to amend the Restated Certificate of Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock. 10. Stock Option Plans At the Company's Annual Meeting of stockholders held on June 28, 2005, the Digital Fusion, Inc. 2005 Stock Option Plan (the "2005 Stock Option Plan") was approved. The 2005 Stock Option Plan, an incentive and non-qualified stock option plan which authorizes the issuance of up to 750,000 shares of our common stock was approved by the Board of Directors subject to stockholder approval. The 750,000 shares of common stock authorized will be used to grant non-qualified stock options to our employees, directors, officers and consultants and incentive stock options to our employees. The Company does not have any current definitive plans for the grant of options. With respect to incentive stock options, the 2005 Stock Option Plan provides that the exercise price of each such option must be at least equal to 100% of the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant (110% in the case of stockholders who, at the time the option is granted, own more than 10% of the outstanding common stock), and requires that all such options have an expiration date not later than that date which is one day before the tenth anniversary of the date of the grant (or the fifth anniversary of the date of grant in the case of 10% stockholders). Pursuant to the provisions of the 2005 Stock Option Plan, the aggregate fair market value, determined as of the date(s) of grant, for which incentive stock options are first exercisable by an option holder during any one calendar year cannot exceed $100,000. With respect to non-qualified stock options, the 2005 Stock Option Plan requires that the exercise price of all such options be at least equal to 100% of the fair market value of our common stock on the date such option is granted and requires that all such options have an expiration date not later than that date which is one day before the tenth anniversary of the date of the grant of such option. 10. Reclassifications The Company has reclassed certain amounts for the three and nine months ending September 30, 2004 to conform to the 2005 presentation on its Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operation. 9 11. Subsequent Events As part of the Summit acquisition, a convertible promissory note for $2.7 million was issued. The note holder may convert the principal portion of the convertible note into the Company's common stock at a conversion price of $2.25 per share. On October 4, 2005, the company was notified that $299,999 of the $600,000 principal payment due December 31, 2005 would be converted to company common stock. Accordingly, the company will issue 133,333 share of company common to the Summit note holder on January 3, 2006. Item 2.

Overview Digital Fusion is an information technology and engineering services company that helps its customers make the most of technology to meet their business needs. The Company's IT Services provides solutions to both government and commercial customers, focused in the following areas: Business process Automation, Application Development and Data Management, Application Security, Web Portals and Digital Dashboards, System Integration and IT Support. Digital Fusion's engineering services supports a variety of customers with state-of-the art solutions that include Computational Aerodynamics/CFD, Optical Systems Design, Development and Test, Thermo/structural Dynamics, Models and Simulations, and Ground/Flight Planning, Execution, and Data Analysis. Based in Huntsville, Alabama, Digital Fusion also has an office in New Jersey and a satellite office in Florida. 10 Revenues are derived primarily from fees earned in connection with the performance of services provided to customers. The Company typically invoices on a time and materials basis. The majority of costs are associated with personnel. Attracting and retaining billable employees is vital for the Company to move forward. Quarterly operating results are affected by the number of billable days in the quarter, holiday seasons, and vacations. Demand for the Company's services has historically been lower during the fourth quarter because of holidays and vacations. Currently, the majority of the Track-It! product sales are to governmental entities where margins are lower. During the third quarter 2004, Digital Fusion began selling the SPI Dynamics Information Assurance product line WebInspect. Digital Fusion is a Value Added Reseller (VAR) for SPI Dynamics. WebInspect audits web based applications and determines security vulnerabilities. Digital Fusion markets these products along with remediation services to commercial and government customers. With the addition of engineering services during the third quarter of 2004 and the acquisition of Summit on January 3, 2005, Digital Fusion greatly expanded its services offerings and past performance with governmental customers and federal prime contracts. Engineering services include the design, development and integration of advanced sensing systems as well as aerodynamic analysis and thermal-structural analysis. The engineering services provided by the Summit acquisition include modeling & simulation, hardware-in-the-loop testing, mechanical design & prototype fabrication, information technology and information management systems, program analysis, and associated technology transfer into production automation processes. These new services give the Company the ability to capitalize on the increased spending by the governmental sector due to increased military and homeland security spending. With the addition of engineering services and the acquisition of Summit, the Company believes it has taken the necessary steps to attain positive cash flow from continuing operations during 2005. The Company will continue to focus on consistent collections of accounts receivable and continued improvements in its operational performance. Company management believes that, as a result of these actions and assuming it can grow its client base in the private and federal sectors, it currently has sufficient cash to meet its funding requirements over the next year, although the Company has experienced negative cash flows from operations and incurred large net losses in the past. Results of Operations THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2005 COMPARED TO THE THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2004 REVENUES. Service revenue increased approximately $3.1 million from $1.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2004 to $4.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2005. Service revenue increased approximately $8.0 million from $3.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 to $11.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005. Reimbursed costs revenue increased approximately $624,000 from $191,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2004 to $815,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2005. Reimbursed costs revenue increased approximately $1.5 million from $461,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 to $2.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005. The increase in service revenue and reimbursed costs revenue was primarily related to the Summit acquisition and growth in the engineering services. The Summit acquisition accounted for $2.5 million and $6.9 million of increased revenue, and the newly formed engineering services division accounted for $1.4 million and $3.3 million of revenues during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005, respectively. The increases in revenue related to the Summit acquisition and growth in the engineering services, are partially offset by decreases in IT services revenue. The Company expects its revenues to increase during the remainder of 2005 as compared to 2004 due to the addition of engineering services and the Summit acquisition. 11 Product revenues increased $72,000 from $891,000 in the three months ended September 30, 2004 to $963,000 in the three months ended September 30, 2005. Product revenues increased $161,000 rom $1,567,000 in the nine months ended September 30, 2004 to $1,728,000 in the nine months ended September 30, 2005. During the third quarter of 2004, Digital Fusion began selling the SPI Dynamics Information Assurance product line WebInspect. As the relationship between DFI and Intuit has solidified, Intuit developed its own federal team that concentrates on governmental agencies exclusively. COST OF SERVICES AND GOODS SOLD. Cost of services includes labor, or the salaries and wages of our employees, plus fringe benefit; and other direct costs. Cost of services increased by $2,317,000 to $3,163,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2005. Cost of services increased by $6,078,000 to $8,605,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2005. The increase in cost of services for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004 is due to the increase in revenues as a result of the Summit acquisition and the addition of engineering services. Reimbursed costs consist primarily of third-party materials, such as hardware and software that we purchase for customer solutions resold to customers and also include the costs of subcontracted labor and travel related expenses that are reimbursed. The increase in the reimbursed costs from $150,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2004 to $796,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2005 and the increase in the reimbursed costs from $370,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 to $1,872,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 is primarily due to the materials that are purchased and resold to Summit and engineering services customers. Product cost of goods sold increased by $32,000 to $877,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2005 and increased by $130,000 to $1,608,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2005. The increases in product cost of goods sold are primarily related to increases in sales of the Intuit product Track-It! and the newly introduced SPI Dynamics Information Assurance product line WebInspect. GROSS PROFIT. Gross profit for services during the three months ended September 30, 2005 is $897,000 or 22.1% of services revenues as compared to $116,000, or 12.1% of services revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2004. Gross profit for services during the nine months ended September 30, 2005 is $2,502,000 or 22.5% of services revenues as compared to $610,000, or 19.4% of services revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2004. The increase in services gross profit as a percent of services revenues is primarily due to a change in business mix resulting from the Summit acquisition and the addition of engineering services. Gross profit for the reimbursed costs during the three months ended September 30, 2005 is $19,000 or 2.3% of reimbursed costs revenue as compared to $41,000 and 21.5% of reimbursed costs revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2004. Gross profit for the reimbursed costs during the nine months ended September 30, 2005 is $121,000 or 6.1% of reimbursed costs revenue as compared to $91,000 or 19.7% of reimbursed costs revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2004. The decrease in gross profit as a percentage of reimbursed costs revenue is primarily related to the lower mark-up on material purchased and resold to Summit and engineering services customers. Gross profit for product was $86,000 or 8.9% for the three months ended September 30, 2005 and $46,000 or 5.2% for the three months ended September 30, 2004. Gross profit for product was $120,000 or 6.9% for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and $89,000 or 5.7% for the nine months ended September 30, 2004. The increase in profit margin on product sales is primarily attributable to more favorable pricing. 12 SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE. Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses consist primarily of salaries and expenses associated with marketing, accounting, finance, sales, and administrative personnel, as well as professional fees and other corporate costs related to the administration of the company. SG&A expenses increased $206,000 for the three month ended September 30, 2005 compared to the three month ended September 30, 2004 and increased $616,000 for the nine month ended September 30, 2005 compared to the nine month ended September 30, 2004. The increase in SG&A is primarily related to the addition of engineering services and the acquisition of Summit. SG&A as a percent of revenue was 11.6% and 23.1% for the three months ending September 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. SG&A as a percent of revenue was 13.0% and 25.3% for the nine months ending September 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. The Company expects its SG&A will continue to decrease as a percent of revenue for the remainder of 2005; however, the Company expects its SG&A actual dollars to continue to increase for the remainder of 2005 compared to the same periods in 2004 due to the addition of engineering services and the acquisition of Summit. INTEREST EXPENSE, NET. Interest expense remained relatively stable in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004. Interest expense was $54,000 in the three months ended September 30, 2005 and $58,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2004, and was $137,000 in the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and was $131,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2004. Interest expense was affected by additional debt issued to the former Summit shareholders for the acquisition of Summit, offset by strong cash collections that reduced borrowings in the three months ended September 30, 2005. OTHER INCOME. The $21,000 of other income recorded in the nine months ended September 30, 2005 is primarily related to the reversal of deferred revenue recorded in prior years for obligations that no longer exist and for services the company no longer provides. AMORTIZATION OF INTANGIBLE ASSETS. The $101,000 and the $201,000 amortization of intangible assets in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 is related to the Summit acquisition. The Company allocated $1,668,833 to the customer base intangible assets and allocated $274,677 to employment agreements acquired in the Summit acquisition. The Company is amortizing the customer base and employment agreements over five and four years, respectively. There was no such expense during 2004. AMORTIZATION OF DISCOUNT ON DEBT AND INTRINSIC VALUE OF CONVERTIBLE DEBT. The $81,000 and $305,000 amortization of debt discount and intrinsic value of the convertible debt in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 are related to the convertible debt issued to the former Summit shareholder. The Company expects this expense to continue throughout 2005. There was no such expense during 2004. 13 INCOME TAX BENEFIT. The income tax expense for the Company's income from operations generated during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 was offset by a reduction in the valuation allowance established against deferred tax assets arising from prior periods. The Company has not recognized an income tax benefit for its operating losses generated in the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2004 based on uncertainties concerning its ability to generate taxable income in future periods. The tax benefit for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004 is offset by a valuation allowance established against deferred tax assets arising from operating losses and other temporary differences, the realization of which could not be considered more likely than not. In future periods, tax benefits and related deferred tax assets will be recognized if management considers realization of such amounts to be more likely than not. NET (LOSS) INCOME. As a result of the above factors, net income increased $416,000 from a net loss of $327,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2004 to net income of $89,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2005 and net income increased $846,000 from a net loss of $650,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 to net income of $196,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2005. The increase in net income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 compared to the same period during 2004 is primarily the result of the addition of engineering services and the Summit acquisition. Liquidity and Capital Resources Net cash provided by operating activities was $633,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2005. The largest cost of sales is personnel costs and this cost must be paid timely and cannot be delayed; thus as the Company's revenues grow this will cause a use of cash in the interim period until the revenue can be collected. The Company is able to borrow on its line of credit up to 90% of its eligible accounts receivable to a maximum borrowing of $3.5 million. This borrowing capability helps the Company's cash flow until the accounts receivable are collected. During the nine months ended September 30, 2005, the Company invested $139,000 primarily in computer equipment and furniture for engineering services. The Company does not expect to have significant equipment purchases during the remainder of 2005. On January 3, 2005, the Company closed on its acquisition of Summit. Under the terms of the Summit acquisition agreement, the Company (a) paid $1.6 million in cash (of which $500,000 was in escrow at December 31, 2004) (b) issued 575,000 shares of the Company's common stock, (c) executed a $898,692 six-month note and (d) executed a $2.7 million convertible promissory note. The convertible note requires a $600,000 principal payment on December 31, 2005. As part of the Summit acquisition, a convertible promissory note for $2.7 million was issued. The note holder may convert the principal portion of the convertible note into the Company's common stock at a conversion price of $2.25 per share. On October 4, 2005, the company was notified that $299,999 of the $600,000 principal payment due December 31, 2005 would be converted to company common stock. Accordingly, the company will issue 133,333 share of company common to the Summit note holder on January 3, 2006. The principal portion of the convertible note may be converted at any time by the note holder into the Company's common stock at a conversion price of $2.25 per share. In the event the entire convertible note is converted, the Company would issue 1.2 million shares of the Company's common stock. No interest will accrue for the first six months and during any calendar month in which the average closing price of the Company's common stock is greater than $2.80 per share. 14 Net cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 was $437,000. The Company received $689,000 of proceeds from the exercise of warrants and options and $1,279,000 from its line of credit. This was offset by the payment of $1,531,000 to certain note holders during the nine months ended June 30, 2005. On April 29, 2005, the Company executed a $374,304 convertible note payable to its CEO at the time to refinance two notes it had outstanding to the CEO. The interest on the convertible debt is payable monthly with the principal due on April 29, 2007. The note can be converted by the note holder into the Company's common stock at a conversion price of $2.43 per share. The Company's working capital, which consists of current assets less current liabilities, increased from a negative $311,000 as of December 31, 2004 to a negative $1,000 as of September 30, 2005. During 2005, the Company has funded its cash needs through consistent collections of accounts receivable, through the exercise of warrants and options and by borrowing on its line of credit, which is secured by the Company's receivables and certain guarantees, at an interest rate equal to the First Commerical Bank prime rate. Federal services revenues are expected to increase with the employment of Gary Ryan as the Company's president during mid-2004, the addition of the Company's engineering services during late 2004 and the acquisition of Summit during January of this year. Digital Fusion's ability to grow substantially may be dependent upon obtaining cash flow from its operations and other external sources. The Company has taken numerous actions to restructure and streamline its operations. Most recently, the Company added engineering services during late 2004 and acquired Summit during early 2005. The Company has also obtained a line of credit secured with its receivables and certain guarantees. Because of these actions, management believes it has enough cash to meet its funding requirements over the next year. The Company's current growth has been funded through internally generated funds, the exercise of warrants and options and its line of credit. Future growth will be supported with revenue from continuing operations, which includes the Company's new engineering services and the acquisition of Summit, a high technology engineering firm. If the Company fails to meet its goals, seeks to expand its operations at a level above its current cash flow from operations, or does not collect its accounts receivable in a timely manner, it may require an infusion of working capital of which the availability and terms cannot be predicted. Critical Accounting Policies The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that have a significant impact on the results reported in the financial statements. Some of the accounting policies require management to make difficult and subjective judgments, often because of the need to make estimates of matters that are inherently uncertain. Digital Fusion's most critical accounting policies include accounts receivable reserves and the valuation of goodwill. Actual results may differ from the estimates under different assumptions or conditions. These policies are discussed below, as are the estimates and judgments involved: 15 Revenue Recognition. We recognize revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, services have been rendered or good delivered, the contact price is fixed or determinable, and collectibility is reasonably assured. The majority of the Company's current contracts are with Federal Government Departments or Agencies, or subcontracts to companies whose prime contracts are with the Federal Government. Most of these contracts are Time and Material (T&M) or Firm Fixed Price Level of Effort (FFP LOE). The LOE clause requires the Company to have a certain number of labor hours and that these hours are worked by personnel qualified to perform under certain labor categories. Revenue on these contracts is recognized as time is expended and or materials are delivered. The price is based on effort expended, not results achieved. The revenue on these contracts is recognized by hours worked which serves as a proxy for output. Revenue on cost-plus-fee contracts is recognized to the extent of costs or hours actually incurred plus a proportional amount of the fee earned. We consider fixed fees under cost-plus-fee contracts to be earned in proportion to the allowable cost actually incurred in performance of the contract. The Company's deferred revenue relates to payments we have received in advance of services (hours worked). From time to time, we may proceed with work based on customer direction prior to the completion and signing of formal contract documents. We have a formal review process for approving any such work. Revenue associated with such work is recognized only when it can be reliably estimated and realization is probable. We base our estimates on previous experiences with the client, communications with the client regarding funding status, and our knowledge of available funding for the contract or program. Allowance for Doubtful Accounts. The Company's accounts receivable are reduced by $29,000 for an allowance for amounts that may become uncollectible in the future. The estimated allowance for uncollectible amounts is based on a specific analysis of accounts in the receivable portfolio and a general reserve based on the aging of receivables and historical write-off experience. The Company's management believes the allowance to be reasonable. The Company does not accrue interest on past due accounts receivable. Valuation of Goodwill and Intangible Assets. Goodwill and intangible assets are reviewed annually for impairment or more frequently if impairment indicators arise. This annual impairment test is performed in the last quarter of each fiscal year. The goodwill impairment test requires a comparison of the fair value of the Company to the amount of goodwill recorded. If this comparison reflects impairment, then the loss would be measured as the excess of recorded goodwill over its implied fair value. Although the Company's management believes that the estimates and assumptions used are reasonable, actual results could differ. Item 3. Controls and procedures. (a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures. We maintain disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that material information related to us is recorded, processed, summarized and reported in accordance with SEC rules and forms. Our management, with the supervision of the Chairman and Chief Executive officer, Frank Libutti, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, Mr. Libutti has concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective in causing material information to be recorded, processed, summarized and reported so as to ensure the quality and timeliness of our public disclosures in compliance with SEC rules and forms. 16 (b) Changes in internal controls. There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting. PART II. OTHER INFORMATION Item 1. Legal Proceedings. No legal proceedings against the Company are required to be disclosed under this Item pursuant to the requirements of Form 10-QSB. Item 2. Changes in Securities. Issuance of Unregistered Securities- On August 20, 2005, the Company issued 1,000 shares of its common stock at an exercise price of $0.33 for exercise of warrants. The Company received proceeds of $330 from the exercise of these warrants. These shares were issued to accredited investors. The company relied on Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 and Regulation D thereunder as the basis for an exemption from registration for this issuance. Item 3. Defaults upon Senior Securities None. Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders. None. Item 5. Other Information. None. 17 Item 6. Exhibits.
