Fiscal Year

We report the results of our operations using a 52-53 week basis ending on the Friday closest to December 31. This Annual Report on Form 10-K reflects the financial results of Delta Tucker Holdings, Inc. for the year ended December 30, 2011 (“calendar year 2011”) and for the period from April 1, 2010 (Inception) through December 31, 2010 (“Inception Year”). We refer to the Inception Year period as “calendar year 2010” throughout this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Delta Tucker Holdings, Inc. was formed for the purpose of acquiring DynCorp International Inc. (“DynCorp International”) and had immaterial assets and virtually no operations, except for costs associated with acquiring DynCorp International, prior to the merger on July 7, 2010. Included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K are our audited consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 30, 2011 and for the period from April 1, 2010 (Inception) through December 31, 2010 and the related statements of equity and cash flows. The audited consolidated balance sheets are included for the periods as of December 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010.

Also included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K are financial statements for DynCorp International for the periods prior to the merger on July 7, 2010. These financial statements are included in order to provide a historical financial perspective. DynCorp International’s historical fiscal year presentation was comprised of twelve consecutive fiscal months ended on the Friday closest to March 31 of each year. DynCorp International’s last completed fiscal year, prior to the merger on July 7, 2010, ended on April 2, 2010 (“fiscal year 2010”). The three month period ended July 2, 2010, which is the last quarter completed prior to the merger on July 7, 2010, is referred to as the “fiscal quarter ended July 2, 2010.” DynCorp International changed its fiscal year end at the time of the merger to coincide with that of Delta Tucker Holdings, Inc. For clarity, we refer to these fiscal periods of DynCorp International that ended prior to the merger as those of the “Predecessor.”

PART I

ITEM 1. BUSINESS.

Unless the context otherwise indicates, references herein to “we,” “our,” “us,” or “the Company” refer to Delta Tucker Holdings, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries. The Company was incorporated in the state of Delaware on April 1, 2010. On July 7, 2010, DynCorp International completed a merger with Delta Tucker Sub, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. Pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of April 11, 2010, Delta Tucker Sub, Inc. merged with and into DynCorp International, with DynCorp International becoming the surviving corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Merger”).

The Delta Tucker Holdings, Inc. consolidated financial statements and the Predecessor DynCorp International Inc. consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K have been prepared pursuant to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).

Overview

We are a leading provider of specialized, mission-critical professional and support services outsourced by the U.S. military, non-military U.S. governmental agencies and foreign governments. Our specific global expertise is in law enforcement training and support, base and logistics operations, intelligence training, rule of law development, construction management, international development, ground vehicle support, counter-narcotics aviation, platform services and operations, linguist services and security services. We also provide logistics support for all our services. Through our predecessor companies, we have provided essential services to numerous U.S. government departments and agencies since 1951.

Our customers include the U.S. Department of Defense (“DoD”), the U.S. Department of State (“DoS”), the U.S. Agency for International Development (“USAID”), foreign governments, commercial customers and certain other U.S. federal, state and local government departments and agencies. Revenue from the U.S. government accounted for approximately 97% and 98% of total revenue for the year ended December 30, 2011 and our Inception Year, respectively, and 98% of total DynCorp International revenue during fiscal year 2010. Our contracts’ revenue and percentage of total revenue from the U.S. government fluctuates from year to year. These fluctuations can be due to contract length or contract structure, such as with Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (“IDIQ”) type contracts. The majority of our contracts are awarded for one year base periods with subsequent option years available subject to changing governmental priorities. IDIQ type contracts are often awarded to multiple contractors and provide the opportunity for awarded contractors to bid on task orders issued under the contract.

Contract Types

Our contracts typically have a term of three to ten years consisting of a base period of one year with multiple one-year options. Our contracts typically are awarded for an estimated dollar value based on the forecast of the work to be performed under the contract over its maximum life. In addition, we have historically received additional revenue through increases in program scope beyond that of the original contract. These contract modifications typically consist of “over and above” requests derived from customer requirements changing and are reviewed by us for appropriate revenue recognition. The U.S. government is not obligated to exercise options under a contract after the base period. At the time of completion of the contract term of a U.S. government contract, the contract is re-competed to the extent the service is still required.

Our contracts with the U.S. government or the government’s prime contractor (to the extent that we are a subcontractor) generally contain standard, unilateral provisions under which the customer may terminate for convenience or default. U.S. government contracts generally also contain provisions that allow the U.S. government to unilaterally suspend us from obtaining new contracts and reduce the value of existing contract spending pending the resolution of alleged violations of laws or regulations.

Most of our contracts are to provide services, rather than products, to our customers, resulting in the majority of costs being labor related. For this reason, we flexibly staff for each contract. If we lose a contract, we terminate or reassign the employees associated with the contract, hence cutting direct cost and overhead. Generally elimination of employees would not generate significant separation costs other than as would be incurred in the normal course of business and would generally be recoverable under applicable contract terms. Additionally, the indirect costs that are absorbed by any one contract could be absorbed by the remaining contracts without significant long-term impact to our business or competitiveness.

The types of services we perform also support our scalability as our primary capital requirements are working capital, which are variable with our overall revenue stream. The nature of our contracts does not generally require investments in fixed assets, and we do not have significant fixed asset investments or significant agreements tied to a single contract upon which our business materially depends. Additionally, our contract mix gives us a degree of flexibility to deploy assets purchased for certain programs to other programs in cases where the scope of our deliverables changes.

Our business generally is performed under fixed-price, time-and-materials or cost-reimbursement contracts. Each of these are described below.

 

4


   

Fixed-Price Type Contracts: In a fixed-price contract, the price is not subject to adjustment based on costs incurred, which can favorably or adversely impact our profitability depending upon our execution in performing the contracted service. Our fixed-price contracts include firm fixed-price, fixed-price with economic adjustment, and fixed-price incentive.

 

   

Time-and-Materials Type Contracts: Time-and-materials type contracts provide for acquiring supplies or services on the basis of direct labor hours at fixed hourly/daily rates plus materials at cost.

 

   

Cost-Reimbursement Type Contracts: Cost-reimbursement type contracts provide for payment of allowable incurred costs, to the extent prescribed in the contract, plus a fixed-fee, award-fee or incentive-fee. Award-fees or incentive-fees are generally based upon various objective and subjective criteria, such as aircraft mission capability rates and meeting cost targets. Award fees are excluded from estimated total contract revenue until a reasonably determinable estimate of award fees can be made.

Any of these three types of contracts discussed above may be executed under an IDIQ contract, which are often awarded to multiple contractors. An IDIQ contract does not represent a firm order for services. Our CivPol, CFT and LOGCAP IV programs are three examples of IDIQ contracts. For the year ended December 30, 2011 and during our Inception Year, 75% and 76%, respectively, of our revenue was attributable to IDIQ contracts. In DynCorp International’s fiscal year 2010, 76% of revenue was attributable to IDIQ contracts. When a customer wishes to order services under an IDIQ contract, the customer issues a task order request for proposal to the contractor awardees. The contract awardees then submit proposals to the customer and task orders are typically awarded under a best-value approach. However, many IDIQ contracts permit the customer to direct work to a particular contractor.

Our historical contract mix by type, as a percentage of revenue, is indicated in the table below.

Cost-reimbursement type contracts typically perform at lower margins than other contract types but carry lower risk of loss. Because the LOGCAP IV contract is predominantly a cost-reimbursement type contract, we anticipate that our revenue from these cost-reimbursement contracts will continue to represent a large portion of our business in future years.

Under many of our contracts, we may rely on subcontractors to perform all or a portion of the services we are obligated to provide to our customers. We use subcontractors primarily for specialized, technical labor and certain functions such as construction and catering. We often enter into subcontract arrangements in order to meet government requirements that certain categories of services be awarded to small businesses.

Business Area Team (“BAT”)

Our business is aligned into three operating segments, two of which, Global Stabilization and Development Solutions (“GSDS”) and Global Platform Support Solutions (“GPSS”), are wholly-owned. Our third segment, Global Linguist Solutions (“GLS”), is a 51% owned joint venture and accounted for as an operationally integral unconsolidated equity method investee. Our reporting segments are identical to our operating segments. Each segment, with the exception of GLS, is comprised of numerous contracts. We align our contracts into BATs to assist with the management of our contracts based on the types of services we provide. A description of each BAT by segment is discussed further below.

Global Stabilization and Development Solutions

GSDS provides a diverse collection of outsourced services primarily to government agencies worldwide. GSDS includes five BATs as described below:

Contingency Operations — This BAT provides U.S. military operations and maintenance support, including but not limited to: construction services, facilities management, electrical power, water, sewage and waste management, laundry operations, food services and transportation motor pool operations. LOGCAP IV is the most significant program in our

Contingency Operations BAT. This BAT also includes our peacekeeping logistics support and humanitarian relief; worldwide contingency planning and other rapid response services; inventory procurement, property control and tracking services; mobile repair services; facility and equipment maintenance and control; and engineering and construction management services.

Development — This BAT supports U.S. foreign policy and international development priorities by assisting in the development of stable and democratic governments, implementing anti-corruption initiatives and aiding the growth of democratic public and civil institutions.

Intelligence Training and Solutions — This BAT was created as a result of the acquisition of Phoenix Consulting Group, LLC (“Phoenix”) and provides proprietary training courses, management consulting and augmentation services to the intelligence community and national security clients. As part of our proprietary training courses, we offer a highly specialized human intelligence (“HUMINT”) curriculum taught by cleared intelligence professionals to other intelligence, counterintelligence, special operations and law enforcement personnel.

Training & Mentoring — This BAT provides international policing and police training, judicial support, immigration support and base operations. Under this BAT, we also provide senior advisors and mentors to foreign governmental agencies.

Security — This BAT provides security and personal protection for diplomats and senior governmental officials.

Key GSDS Contracts

Civilian Police (“CivPol”): The CivPol program is a part of our Training and Mentoring BAT, which was awarded to us by the DoS in February 2004. Through this program, we have deployed civilian police officers from the U.S. to several countries to train and offer logistics support to the local police and assist them with infrastructure reconstruction. In addition, we have been awarded multiple task orders under the CivPol program, including assignments in Iraq and Afghanistan. Our current task orders are primarily time-and-materials and cost-reimbursement.

Logistics Civil Augmentation Program IV (“LOGCAP IV”): The LOGCAP IV contract was awarded to us in 2008 and is a part of our Contingency Operations BAT. We were selected as one of the three prime contractors to provide logistics support under the LOGCAP IV contract. LOGCAP IV is the U.S. Army component of the DoD’s initiative to award contracts to U.S. companies with a broad range of logistics capabilities to support U.S. and allied forces during combat, peacekeeping, humanitarian and training operations. The IDIQ contract has a term of up to ten years. Under LOGCAP IV, the U.S. Army contracts to perform selected services in a theater of operations to augment U.S. Army forces and release military units for other missions or to fill U.S. Army resource shortfalls. Our current task orders are primarily cost-reimbursement plus an award fee.

Afghanistan Ministry of Defense Program (“AMDP”): The AMDP program is a part of the Training and Mentoring BAT and was awarded to us by the DoD in December of 2010. The program was established with the goal of assisting the Government of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan to build, develop and sustain an effective and professional law enforcement organization. Within this two year contract, we will train and mentor the Afghans to manage all aspects of its police training. This program is primarily structured to provide cost-reimbursement type services.

Combined Security Transition Command Afghanistan (“CSTC-A”): The CSTC-A program is a part of our Training and Mentoring BAT. This program provides assistance to the CSTC-A and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (“NATO”) training mission by providing mentors and trainers to develop the Afghanistan Ministry of Defense (“MOD”). In addition to providing training and mentoring, we also provide subject matter expertise and programmatic support to CSTC-A staff and the Afghanistan MOD. This program supports development of the organizational capacity and capability to assist Afghanistan MOD and Afghan National Army forces in assuming full responsibility for their own security needs. The services provided under this contract are cost-reimbursement type services.

Global Platform Support Solutions

GPSS provides a wide range of technical, engineering, logistics and maintenance support services primarily to government agencies worldwide. Additionally, GPSS provides services including drug eradication and host nation pilot and crew training. GPSS includes three BATs as described below:

Aviation — This BAT provides worldwide maintenance of aircraft fleet and ground vehicles, modification, repair, and logistics support on aircraft, aerial firefighting services, weapons systems, and related support equipment to the DoD and other U.S. government agencies and direct contracts with foreign governments for maintenance and technical support. Contract Field Teams (“CFT”) is the most significant program in our Aviation BAT supporting the Army, Navy and Air Force. This program deploys highly mobile, quick-response field teams to customer locations globally to supplement a customer’s workforce. Through our predecessor companies, we have provided services under this program since 1951.

Air Operations — This BAT provides foreign assistance programs to help foreign governments improve their ability to develop and implement national strategies and programs to prevent the production, trafficking, and abuse of illicit drugs. The INL Air Wing program is the most significant program in our Air Operations BAT. This program supports governments in multiple Latin American countries and provides support and assistance with interdiction services in Afghanistan. Also, this program provides construction and intra-theater transportation services for DoS personnel throughout Iraq and Afghanistan.

 

6


Operations and Maintenance — This BAT provides maintenance, base operations support, engineering, supply and logistics, marine maintenance services and program management services primarily for ground vehicles, support equipment, pre-positioned war reserve materials, facilities, and contingency response on a worldwide basis. This includes the services we provide under key BAT contracts such as the War Reserve Materiel (“WRM”) contract and other services via our Land services. These services are provided to U.S. government agencies in both domestic and foreign locations, foreign government entities and commercial customers.

Key GPSS Contracts

International Narcotics Law Enforcement Air Wing (“INL”): The INL Air Wing program is a part of our Air Operations BAT. In May 2005, the DoS awarded us a contract in support of the INL program to aid in the eradication of illegal drug operations. This contract expires in October 2014. A similar program in Afghanistan began in 2006. Also, this program provides intra-theater transportation services for DoS personnel throughout Iraq and Afghanistan. The majority of our contractual services are fixed-price type services.

Contract Field Teams (“CFT”): The CFT program is a part of our Aviation BAT. This program deploys highly mobile, quick-response field teams to customer locations to supplement a customer’s workforce. The services we provide under the CFT program generally include mission support to aircraft and weapons systems and depot-level repair. The principal customer for our CFT program is the DoD. The majority of our current delivery orders are time-and-materials, but we also have cost-reimbursement and fixed-priced services.

Naval Test Wing Patuxent River MD (“Pax River”): The Pax River contract is a part of our Aviation BAT. We were awarded this contract in August of 2011, to provide organization level maintenance and logistic support on all aircraft and support equipment for which the Naval Test Wing Atlantic has maintenance responsibility. Labor and services will be provided to perform safety studies, off-site aircraft safety and spill containment patrols and aircraft recovery services. The cost-plus-fixed-fee contract has a base year plus four one year option periods.

War Reserve Materiel (“WRM”): The War Reserve Materiel contract is a part of our Operations and Maintenance BAT. Through this program, we manage the U.S. Air Force Southwest Asia War Reserve Materiel Pre-positioning program, which includes operations in Oman, Bahrain, Qatar, Kuwait and two locations in the United States (Albany, Georgia and Shaw Air Force base, South Carolina). We store, maintain and deploy assets such as tents, generators, vehicles, kitchens and medical supplies to deployed forces in the global war on terror. During Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraqi Freedom, we sent teams into the field to assist in the setup of tent cities prior to the arrival of the deployed forces. The War Reserve Materiel program continues to partner with the U.S. Central Command Air Force in the development of new and innovative approaches to asset management. Our contract is primarily cost-reimbursement with a smaller portion of fixed-price services.

Andrews Air Force Base (“Andrews AFB”): The Andrews Air Force Base program is a part of our Aviation BAT. Under the Andrews Air Force Base contract, we perform aviation maintenance and support services, which include full back shop support, organizational level maintenance, fleet fuel services, launch and recovery, supply and Federal Aviation Administration (“FAA”) repair services. Under this program we oversee the management of the U.S. presidential air fleet (other than Air Force One). Our principal customer under this contract is the U.S. Air Force. We entered into this contract in September 2011. The majority of our contractual services are fixed-price.

Columbus Air Force Base (“Columbus AFB”): The Columbus AFB program is also a part of our Aviation BAT. We provide aviation and equipment maintenance and support services for T-37, T-38, T-1 and T-6 training aircraft in support of the Columbus AFB Specialized Undergraduate Pilot Training Program in Columbus, Mississippi. Our customer under this program is the U.S. Air Force—Air Education and Training Command and specifically the 14th Flying Training Wing. This contract provides for a firm fixed-price incentive fee with an incentive award fee. The performance period started October 2005 and runs through September 2012. We have completed a transition from the old T-37 primary trainer to the new T-6 turbo prop. Additionally, this 14th Flying Training Wing has one additional squadron of T-38s dedicated to fighter lead-in-training. The majority of our contractual services are fixed-price.

California Department of Forestry: The California Department of Forestry program is a part of our Aviation BAT. We have been helping to fight fires in California since December 2001. We maintain aircraft, providing nearly all types and levels of maintenance—scheduled, annual, emergency repairs and even structural depot-level repair. McClellan Field in Sacramento is home base for our program mechanics, data entry staff, and quality control inspectors. In addition, we provide pilots who operate the fixed wing aircraft. Our current task orders are primarily time-and-materials.

Sheppard Air Force Base (“Sheppard AFB”): The Sheppard Air Force Base contract is a part of our Aviation BAT. Under this program, we provide aircraft maintenance services for the 80th Flying Training Wing based at Sheppard Air Force Base in Wichita Falls, Texas. This contract has an initial base period of eleven months and six option years. The mission of the Air

 

7


Education and Training Command’s 80th Flying Training Wing is to provide undergraduate pilot training for the U.S. and NATO allies in the Euro NATO Joint Jet Pilot Training program. Graduates of this prestigious program are assigned to fighter pilot positions in their respective air forces. The majority of our contractual services are fixed price.

C-21 Contractor Logistics Support (“C-21A CLS”): The C-21A CLS contract is a part of our Aviation BAT. Under the C-21A CLS we perform organizational, intermediate and depot-level maintenance together with supply chain management for C-21A CLS aircraft operated by the U.S. Air Force at seven main operating bases and one deployed location. The contract has time-and-materials and fixed-price portions.

Global Linguist Solutions

GLS is a joint venture between DynCorp International and McNeil Technologies (“McNeil”), in which we have a 51% ownership interest. GLS historically has had no other operations outside of performance on the Intelligence and Security Command (“INSCOM”) contract, which began services in 2008. During the year ended December 30, 2011, GLS was selected as one of six providers that will compete for task orders on the $9.7 billion Defense Language Interpretation Translation Enterprise (“DLITE”) contract. As of December 30, 2011, we had submitted a bid on one of the task orders related to the DLITE contract. Final decision on this task order is not expected until the latter part of the first quarter of calendar year 2012. All of our current INSCOM task orders are cost-reimbursement with an award fee. Our GLS operating segment is comprised of a single BAT, Linguistics & Translation. In October of 2011, President Obama made an announcement ending the war in Iraq. All of the troops have returned home and as such, funding related to the mission has decreased. We performed an assessment of the GLS investment in October 2011, and concluded that the carrying value of the GLS investment had sustained a loss that was other than temporary. We recorded an impairment of our investment of $76.6 million. See Note 12 to the Delta Tucker Holdings, Inc. consolidated financial statements and the “Current Operating Conditions and Outlook” within Part II—Item 7 Management Discussion and Analysis included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for further discussion.

Linguistics & Translation: This BAT provides rapid recruitment, deployment and on-site management of interpreters and translators in-theatre for a wide range of foreign languages in support of the U.S. Army, unified commands attached forces, combined forces, and joint elements executing the Operation Iraqi Freedom (“OIF”) mission, and other U.S. government agencies supporting the OIF mission.

In January 2012, our organizational structure was amended to align our BATs in strategic business “Groups” reporting directly to the President of the Company. Under the new alignment, the Training and Intelligence Group will consist of the Training and Mentoring and Intelligence Training and Solutions BATs, the Security Services Group will consist of the Security BAT, the Logistics and Development Solutions Group will consist of the Development, Operations and Maintenance, and Contingency Operations (excluding the LOGCAP IV program) BATs, the Aviation Group will consist of the Aviation and Air Operations BATs, and the LOGCAP program will be removed from the Contingency Operations BAT and will operate as a standalone Group.

Estimated Total Contract Value and Certain Other Terms

The estimated total contract value represents amounts expected to be realized from the initial award date to the current contract end date (i.e., revenue recognized to date plus backlog). For the reasons stated under the captions “Risk Factors” and “Business—Key Contracts,” the estimated total contract value or ceiling value specified under a government contract or task order is not necessarily indicative of the revenue that we will realize under that contract.

Competition

We compete with various entities across geographic and business lines based on a number of factors, including services offered, experience, price, geographic reach and mobility. Most activities in which we engage are highly competitive and require that we have highly skilled and experienced technical personnel to compete. Some of our competitors may possess greater financial and other resources or may be better positioned to compete for certain contract opportunities. We believe that our principal competitors include Civilian Police International, Science Applications International Corporation, Exelis, Inc., KBR, Inc., IAP Worldwide Services, ACADEMI, Triple Canopy Inc., Fluor Corporation, Lockheed Martin Corporation, AECOM, United Technologies Corporation, L-3 Holdings, Aerospace Industrial Development Corporation, Al Salam Aircraft Company Ltd., Mission Essential Personnel, Northrop Grumman, Computer Sciences Corporation, Lear Siegler, and Serco Group Plc. We believe that the primary competitive factors for our services include reputation, technical skills, past contract performance, experience in the industry, cost competitiveness and customer relationships.

Backlog

We track backlog in order to assess our current business development effectiveness and to assist us in forecasting our future business needs and financial performance. Our backlog consists of funded and unfunded amounts under contracts. Funded backlog is equal to the amounts actually appropriated by a customer for payment of goods and services less actual revenue recognized as of the measurement date under that appropriation. Unfunded backlog is the actual dollar value of unexercised, priced contract options and the unfunded portion of exercised contract options. Most of our U.S. government contracts allow the customer the option to extend the period of performance of a contract for a period of one or more years. These priced options may or may not be exercised at the sole discretion of the customer. Historically, it has been our experience that the customer has typically exercised contract options.

Firm funding for our contracts is usually made for one year at a time, with the remainder of the contract period consisting of a series of one-year options. As is the case with the base period of our U.S. government contracts, option periods are subject to the availability of funding for contract performance. The U.S. government is legally prohibited from ordering work under a contract in the absence of funding. Our historical experience has been that the government has typically funded the option periods of our contracts.

The following table sets forth our approximate backlog as of the dates indicated:

Regulatory Matters

Contracts with the U.S. government are subject to a multitude of regulatory requirements, including but not limited to the Federal Acquisition Regulation (“FAR”), which sets forth policies, procedures and requirements for the acquisition of goods and services by the U.S. government and the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation supplement (“DFARs”). Under U.S. government regulations, certain costs, including certain financing costs, portions of research and development costs, lobbying expenses, certain types of legal expenses and certain marketing expenses related to the preparation of bids and proposals, are not allowed for pricing purposes and calculation of contract reimbursement rates under cost-reimbursement contracts. The U.S. government also regulates the methods by which allowable costs may be allocated under U.S. government contracts.

Our international operations and investments are subject to U.S. government laws, regulations and policies, including the International Traffic in Arms Regulations, Export Administration Act, the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, the UK Bribery Act, the False Claims Act and other export laws and regulations. We must also comply with foreign government laws, regulations and procurement policies and practices, which may differ from U.S. government regulation, including import-export control, investments, exchange controls, repatriation of earnings and requirements to expend a portion of program funds in-country. In addition, embargoes, international hostilities and changes in currency values can also impact our international operations.

Our government contracts are subject to audits at various points in the contracting process. Pre-award audits are performed at the time a proposal is submitted to the U.S. government for cost-reimbursement contracts. The purpose of a pre-award audit is to determine the basis of the bid and provide the information required for the U.S. government to negotiate the contract effectively. In addition, the U.S. government may perform a pre-award audit to determine our capability to perform under a contract. During the performance of a contract, the U.S. government has the right to examine our costs incurred on the contract, including any labor charges, material purchases and overhead charges. Upon a contract’s completion, the U.S. government performs an incurred cost audit of all aspects of contract performance for cost-reimbursement contracts to ensure that we have performed the contract in a manner consistent with our proposal and FAR. The government also may perform a post-award audit for proposals that are subject to the Truth in Negotiations Act, which are proposals in excess of $650,000 to determine if the cost proposed and negotiated was accurate, current and complete as of the time of negotiations.

The Defense Contract Audit Agency (“DCAA”) performs these audits on behalf of the U.S. government. The DCAA also reviews the adequacy of, and our compliance with, our internal control systems and policies, including our labor, billing, accounting, purchasing, property, estimating, budgeting & planning, indirect and direct costs, compensation, and information technology. The DCAA has the right to perform audits on our incurred costs on all flexibly priced contracts on an annual basis. We have DCAA auditors on-site to monitor our billing and back office operations. An adverse finding under a DCAA audit could result in the disallowance of costs under a U.S. government contract, termination of U.S. government contracts, forfeiture of profits, suspension of payments, fines and suspension and prohibition from doing business with the U.S. government. In the event that an audit by the DCAA recommends disallowance of our costs under a contract, we have the right to appeal the findings of the audit under applicable dispute resolution provisions. Approval of submitted annual incurred costs claims can take many years. All of our incurred costs claims for U.S. government contracts completed through fiscal year 2004 have been audited by the DCAA and negotiated by the Defense Contract Management Agency. The audits, for which such costs were incurred during subsequent periods, are continuing. See “Risk Factors—A negative audit or other actions by the U.S. government could adversely affect our operating performance.”

At any given time, many of our contracts are under review by the DCAA and other government agencies. We cannot predict the outcome of such ongoing audits and what, if any, impact such audits may have on our future operating performance.

Over the last few years, U.S. government contractors, including our Company, have seen a trend of increased scrutiny by the DCAA and other U.S. government agencies. If any of our internal control systems or policies are determined to be non-compliant or inadequate, payments may be suspended under our contracts or we may be subjected to increased government scrutiny that could delay or adversely affect our ability to invoice and receive timely payment on our contracts, perform contracts or compete for contracts with the U.S. government. These adverse outcomes could also occur if the DCAA cannot complete timely periodic reviews of our control systems, which could then render the status of these systems as “not reviewed.”

Sales and Marketing

We provide our service solutions to a wide array of customers which include multiple departments within the U.S. government, select international clients and commercial customers. We also provide our services to other prime contractors who have contracts with the U.S. government and other international customers where our capabilities help to deliver comprehensive solutions. We position our business development and marketing professionals to cover key accounts such as the DoS and the DoD, as well as other international and commercial market segments which hold the most promise for aggressive growth and profitability.

We participate in national and international tradeshows, particularly as they apply to aviation services, logistics, contingency support, defense, diplomacy and development markets. We are also an active member in several organizations related to services contracting, such as the Professional Services Council.

As a global service solutions provider, we have unique experience and capability in providing value added and full spectrum services to government agencies and selected partners worldwide.

 

11


Our business development and marketing professionals maintain a close relationship with our current customers even as they aggressively pursue select markets that hold the most promise for significant growth. These activities support our objective to be the leading global government services provider in support of U.S. national security and foreign policy objectives.

Intellectual Property

We hold an exclusive, perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free and fully paid license to use the “Dyn International” and “DynCorp International” names in connection with aviation services, security services, technical services and marine services. We also own various licenses for names associated with Phoenix and Casals. Additionally, we own various registered domain names, patents, trademarks and copyrights. Because most of our business involves providing services to government entities, our operations generally are not substantially dependent upon obtaining and/or maintaining copyright, patents, or trademark protections, although our operations make use of such protections and benefit from them.

Environmental Matters

Our operations include the use, generation and disposal of petroleum products and other hazardous materials. We are subject to various U.S. federal, state, local and foreign laws and regulations relating to the protection of the environment, including those governing the management and disposal of hazardous substances and wastes, the cleanup of contaminated sites and the maintenance of a safe and healthy workplace for our employees, contractors and visitors. We have written procedures in place and believe we have been and are in substantial compliance with environmental laws and regulations, and we have no liabilities under environmental requirements that would have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition. We have not incurred, nor do we expect to incur, material costs relating to environmental compliance.

Employees

As of December 30, 2011, we had approximately 29,000 personnel in the 36 countries we have operations, of which approximately 7,200 are employees of our affiliates. Employees represented by labor unions totaled approximately 2,700. We believe the working relations with our employees and our unions are in good standing.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS.

The risks described below should be carefully considered, together with all of the other information contained in this Form 10-K including Part II—Item 7—Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. Any of the following risks could materially and adversely affect our financial condition or results of operations.

We rely on sales to U.S. government entities. A loss of contracts, a failure to obtain new contracts or a reduction of sales or award fees under existing contracts with the U.S. government could adversely affect our operating performance and our ability to generate cash flow to fund our operations.

We derive substantially all of our revenue from contracts and subcontracts with the U.S. government and its agencies, primarily the DoD and the DoS. The remainder of our revenue is derived from commercial contracts and contracts with foreign governments. We expect that U.S. government contracts, particularly with the DoD and the DoS, will continue to be our primary source of revenue for the foreseeable future. The continuation and renewal of our existing government contracts and new government contracts are, among other things, contingent upon the availability of adequate funding for various U.S. government agencies, including the DoD and the DoS. Changes in U.S. government spending could directly affect our operating performance and lead to an unexpected loss of revenue. The loss or significant reduction in government funding of a large program in which we participate could also result in a material decrease to our future sales, earnings and cash flows. U.S. government contracts are also conditioned upon the continuing approval by Congress of the amount of necessary spending. Congress usually appropriates funds for a given program on a September 30 fiscal year basis, even though contract periods of performance may extend over many years. Consequently, at the beginning of a major program, the contract is usually partially funded, and additional monies are normally committed to the contract by the procuring agency only as appropriations are made by Congress for future fiscal years. Among the factors that could impact U.S. government spending and reduce our U.S. Government contracting business include:

 

   

policy and/or spending changes implemented by the Obama administration;

 

   

continued budget reductions in military spending imposed by Congress and the Super Committee;

 

   

a continual decline in, or reapportioning of, spending by the U.S. government, in general, or by the DoD or the DoS, in particular;

 

   

changes, delays or cancellations of U.S. government programs, requirements or policies;

 

   

the adoption of new laws or regulations that affect companies that provide services to the U.S. government;

 

   

U.S. government shutdowns or other delays in the government appropriations process;

 

   

curtailment of the U.S. government’s outsourcing of services to private contractors including the expansion of insourcing;

 

   

changes in the political climate, including with regard to the funding or operation of the services we provide; and

 

   

general economic conditions, including the continual slowdown in the economy or unstable economic conditions in the United States or in the countries in which we operate.

These or other factors could cause U.S. government agencies to reduce their purchases under our contracts, to exercise their right to terminate our contracts in whole or in part, to issue temporary stop-work orders or to decline to exercise options to renew our contracts. The loss or significant curtailment of our material government contracts, or our failure to renew existing contracts or enter into new contracts, could adversely affect our operating performance and lead to an unexpected loss of revenue.

Our U.S. government contracts may be terminated by the U.S. government at any time prior to their completion and contain other unfavorable provisions, which could lead to an unexpected loss of revenue and a reduction in backlog.

Under the terms of our contracts, the U.S. government may unilaterally:

 

   

terminate or modify existing contracts;

 

   

reduce the value of existing contracts through partial termination;

 

   

delay or withhold the payment of our invoices by government payment offices;

 

   

audit our contract-related costs and fees; and

 

   

suspend us from receiving new contracts, pending the resolution of alleged violations of procurement laws or regulations.

 

13


The U.S. government can terminate or modify any of its contracts with us either for its convenience or if we default by failing to perform under the terms of the applicable contract. A termination arising out of our default could expose us to liability and adversely affect our operating performance and lead to an unexpected loss of revenue.

Our U.S. government contracts typically have an initial term of one year with multiple option periods, exercisable at the discretion of the government at previously negotiated prices. The government is not obligated to exercise any option under a contract. Furthermore, the government is typically required to compete all programs and, therefore, may not automatically renew a contract. In addition, at the time of completion of any of our government contracts, the contract is frequently required to be re-competed if the government still requires the services covered by the contract.

If the U.S. government terminates and/or materially modifies any of our contracts or if option periods are not exercised, our failure to replace revenue generated from such contracts would result in lower revenue and would likely adversely affect our earnings, which could have a material effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

Our U.S. government contracts are subject to competitive bidding, both upon initial issuance and re-competition. If we are unable to successfully compete in the bidding process or if we fail to win re-competitions, it could adversely affect our operating performance and lead to an unexpected loss of revenue.

Substantially all of our U.S. government contracts are awarded through a competitive bidding process upon initial award and renewal, and we expect that this will continue to be the case. There is often significant competition and pricing pressure as a result of this process. The competitive bidding process presents a number of risks, including the following:

 

   

we may expend substantial funds and time to prepare bids and proposals for contracts that may ultimately be awarded to one of our competitors;

 

   

we may be unable to accurately estimate the resources and costs that will be required to perform any contract we are awarded, which could result in substantial cost overruns; and

 

   

we may encounter expense and delay if our competitors protest or challenge awards of contracts, and any such protest or challenge could result in a requirement to resubmit bids on modified specifications or in the termination, reduction or modification of the awarded contract. Additionally, the protest of contracts awarded to us may result in the delay of program performance and the generation of revenue while the protest is pending.

The government contracts for which we compete typically have multiple option periods, and if we fail to win a contract or a task order, we generally will be unable to compete again for that contract for several years. If we fail to win new contracts or to receive renewal contracts upon re-competition, it may result in additional costs and expenses and possible loss of revenue, and we will not have an opportunity to compete for these contract opportunities again until such contracts expire.

Because of the nature of our business, it is not unusual for us to lose contracts to competitors or to gain contracts once held by competitors during re-compete periods.

Additionally, some contracts simply end as projects are completed or funding is terminated. We have included our most significant contracts by reportable segment in our key contract table under the heading “Business.” Contract end dates are included within the tables to better inform interested parties, security analysts and institutional investors in reviewing the potential impact on our most significant contracts for this risk.

Economic conditions could impact our business.

Our business may be adversely affected by factors in the U.S. and other countries that are beyond our control, such as disruptions in the financial markets or downturns in the economic activity in specific countries or regions, or in the various industries in which we operate. These factors could have an adverse impact in the availability of capital and cost of capital, interest rates, tax rates, or regulations in certain jurisdictions. If for any reason we lose access to our currently available lines of credit, or if we are required to raise additional capital, we may be unable to do so in the current credit and stock market environment, or we may be able to do so only on unfavorable terms. Adverse changes to financial conditions could jeopardize certain counterparty obligations, including those of our insurers and financial institutions.

In particular, if the U.S. Government, due to budgetary considerations, fails to sustain the troops in Afghanistan, reduces the DoD Operations and Maintenance budget or reduces funding for DoS initiatives in which we participate, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.

Furthermore, although we believe that our current sources of liquidity will enable us to continue to perform under our existing contracts and further grow our business, we cannot ensure that will be the case. A longer term credit crisis could adversely affect our ability to obtain additional liquidity or refinance existing indebtedness on acceptable terms or at all, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Liquidity and Capital Resources” for additional discussion regarding liquidity.

 

14


Our operations involve considerable risks and hazards. An accident or incident involving our employees or third parties could harm our reputation, affect our ability to compete for business, and if not adequately insured or indemnified, could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.

We are exposed to liabilities that arise from the services we provide. Such liabilities may relate to an accident or incident involving our employees or third parties, particularly where we are deployed on-site at active military installations or in locations experiencing political or civil unrest, or they may relate to an accident or incident involving aircraft or other equipment we have serviced or used in the course of our business. Any of these types of accidents or incidents could involve significant potential claims of injured employees and other third parties and claims relating to loss of or damage to government or third-party property.

We maintain insurance policies that mitigate risk and potential liabilities related to our operations. Our insurance coverage may not be adequate to cover those claims or liabilities, and we may be forced to bear substantial costs from an accident or incident. Substantial claims in excess of our related insurance coverage could adversely affect our operating performance and may result in additional expenses and possible loss of revenue.

Furthermore, any accident or incident for which we are liable, even if fully insured, may result in negative publicity which could adversely affect our reputation among our customers, including our government customers, and the public, which could result in the loss of existing and future contracts or make it more difficult to compete effectively for future contracts. This could adversely affect our operating performance and may result in additional expenses and possible loss of revenue.

Political destabilization or insurgency in the regions in which we operate may have a material adverse effect on our operating performance.

Certain regions in which we operate are highly unstable. Insurgent activities in the areas in which we operate may cause further destabilization in these regions. There can be no assurance that the regions in which we operate will continue to be stable enough to allow us to operate profitably or at all. Insurgents in Iraq and Afghanistan have targeted installations where we have personnel, and these insurgents have contributed to instability in these countries. This could impair our ability to attract and deploy personnel to perform services in either or both locations. In addition, we may be required to increase compensation to our personnel as an incentive to deploy them to these regions. Historically we have been able to recover this added cost under our contracts, but there is no guarantee that future increases, if required, will be able to be transferred to our customers through our contracts. To the extent that we are unable to transfer such increased compensation costs to our customers, our operating margins would be adversely impacted, which could adversely affect our operating performance.

In addition, increased insurgent activities or destabilization, including civil unrest or a civil war in Iraq or Afghanistan, may lead to a determination by the U.S. government to halt or substantially reduce our operations in a particular location, country or region and to perform the services using military personnel. Furthermore, in extreme circumstances, the U.S. government may decide to terminate all or substantially reduce U.S. government activities, including our operations under U.S. government contracts in a particular location, country or region and to withdraw all or a substantial number of military personnel. Congressional pressure to reduce, if not eliminate, the number of U.S. troops in Iraq or Afghanistan may also lead to U.S. government procurement actions that reduce or terminate the services and support we provide in that theater of conflict. Any of the foregoing could adversely affect our operating performance and may result in additional costs and loss of revenue.

We are exposed to risks associated with operating internationally.

A large portion of our business is conducted internationally. Consequently, we are subject to a variety of risks that are specific to international operations, including the following:

 

   

export controls regulations that could erode profit margins or restrict exports;

 

   

compliance with the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and the UK Bribery Act;

 

   

the burden and cost of compliance with foreign laws, treaties and technical standards and changes in those regulations;

 

   

contract award and funding delays;

 

   

potential restrictions on transfers of funds;

 

   

foreign currency fluctuations;

 

   

import and export duties and value added taxes;

 

15


   

transportation delays and interruptions;

 

   

uncertainties arising from foreign local business practices and cultural considerations;

 

   

requirements by foreign governments that we locally invest a minimum level as part of our contracts with them, which may not yield any return; and

 

   

potential military conflicts, civil strife and political risks.

We cannot ensure our current adopted measures will reduce the potential impact of losses resulting from the risks of our foreign business.

Our IDIQ contracts are not firm orders for services, and we may never receive revenue from these contracts, which could adversely affect our operating performance.

Many of our government contracts are IDIQ contracts, which are often awarded to multiple contractors. The award of an IDIQ contract does not represent a firm order for services. Generally, under an IDIQ contract, the government is not obligated to order a minimum of services or supplies from its contractor, irrespective of the total estimated contract value. Furthermore, under an IDIQ contract, the customer develops requirements for task orders that are competitively bid against all of the contract awardees, usually under a best-value approach. However, many contracts also permit the government customer to direct work to a specific contractor. We may not win new task orders under these contracts for various reasons, such as failing to rapidly deploy personnel or high prices, which would have an adverse effect on our operating performance and may result in additional expenses and loss of revenue. There can be no assurance that our existing IDIQ contracts will result in actual revenue during any particular period or at all.

Our cost of performing under time-and-materials and fixed-price contracts may exceed our revenue, which would result in a recorded loss on the contracts.

Our government contract services have three distinct pricing structures: cost-reimbursement, time-and-materials and fixed-price. With cost-reimbursement contracts, so long as actual costs incurred are within the contract funding and allowable under the terms of the contract, we are entitled to reimbursement of the costs plus a stipulated fixed-fee and, in some cases, an incentive-based award fee. We assume additional financial risk on time-and-materials and fixed-price contracts, because of the stipulated prices or negotiated hourly/daily rates. As such, if we do not accurately estimate ultimate costs and control costs during performance of the work, we could lose money on a particular contract or have lower than anticipated margins. Also, we assume the risk of damage or loss to government property, and we are responsible for third-party claims under fixed-price contracts. The failure to meet contractually defined performance standards may result in a loss of a particular contract or lower-than-anticipated margins. This could adversely affect our operating performance and may result in additional costs and possible loss of revenue.

A negative audit or other actions by the U.S. government could adversely affect our operating performance.

At any given time, many of our contracts are under review by the DCAA, the DCMA and other government agencies. These agencies review our contract performance, cost structure, and/or compliance with applicable laws, regulations and standards. Such agency audits may include contracts under which we have performed services in Iraq and Afghanistan under especially demanding circumstances.

The government agencies also review the adequacy of, and our compliance with, our internal control systems and policies, including our labor, billing, accounting, purchasing, property, estimating, billing, compensation, information technology and indirect and other direct costs.

Given the continued scrutiny by the U.S. government, we could be subjected to additional regulatory requirements which could require additional audits at various points within our contracting process. An adverse finding under an audit could result in the disallowance of costs under a U.S. contract, termination of a U.S. government contract, forfeiture of profits or suspension of payments which could negatively impact our liquidity position and affect our ability to invoice and receive timely payment on our contracts, perform contracts or compete for contracts with the U.S. government. These adverse outcomes could also occur if the DCAA cannot complete timely periodic reviews of our control systems, which could then render the status of these systems as “not current” and resulting in an adverse audit. See Note 8 to the Delta Tucker Holdings, Inc. consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report.

We are subject to investigation by government agencies, which could result in our inability to receive government contracts and could adversely affect our future operating performance.

As a U.S. government contractor operating domestically and internationally, we must comply with laws and regulations relating to U.S. government contracting, as well as domestic and international laws. From time to time, we are investigated by

 

16


government agencies with respect to our compliance with these laws and regulations. If we are found to be in violation of the law, we may be subject to civil or criminal penalties or administrative sanctions, including contract termination, the assessment of penalties and suspension or prohibition from doing business with U.S. government agencies. For example, many of the contracts we perform in the U.S. are subject to the Service Contract Act, which requires hourly employees to be paid certain specified wages and benefits. If the U.S. Department of Labor determines that we violated the Service Contract Act or its implemented regulations, we could be suspended from being awarded new government contracts or renewals of existing contracts for a period of time, which could adversely affect our future operating performance. We are subject to a greater risk of investigations, criminal prosecution, civil fraud, whistleblower lawsuits and other legal actions and liabilities than companies with solely commercial customers. In addition, if an audit uncovers improper or illegal activities, we may be subject to civil and criminal penalties and administrative sanctions, including termination of contracts, forfeiture of profits, suspension of payments, fines and suspension or prohibition from doing business with the U.S. government.

Furthermore, our reputation could suffer serious harm if allegations of impropriety were made against us. If we were suspended or prohibited from contracting with the U.S. government, or any significant U.S. government agency, if our reputation or relationship with U.S. government agencies was impaired or if the U.S. government otherwise ceased doing business with us or significantly decreased the amount of business it does with us, it could adversely affect our operating performance and may result in additional expenses and possible loss of revenue.

U.S. government contractors like us that provide support services in theaters of conflict such as Iraq and Afghanistan have come under increased scrutiny by the agency of inspectors general, government auditors and congressional committees. Investigations pursued by any or all of these groups may result in adverse publicity for us and consequent reputational harm, regardless of the underlying merit of the allegations being investigated. As a matter of general policy, we have cooperated and expect to continue to cooperate with government inquiries of this nature.

New government withholding regulations could adversely affect our operating performance.

In February 2012, the DoD issued the final Department of Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (“DFARS”) rule which allows withholding of a percentage of payments when a contractor’s business system has one or more significant deficiencies. The DFARS rule applies to Cost Accounting Standards (“CAS”) covered contracts. The final rule represents a significant change in the contracting environment for companies performing work for the DoD. Contracting officers may withhold 5% for one or more significant deficiencies in any single contractor business system or up 10% for significant deficiencies in multiple contractor business systems. A significant deficiency is defined as a “shortcoming in the system that materially affects the ability of officials of the DoD to rely upon information produced by the system that is needed for management purposes.” The final rule is applicable to new contracts on a prospective basis. The DFARS rule may impose new compliance requirements that potentially could cause the Company to incur substantial compliance costs in addition to monetary penalties for noncompliance which could adversely affect our operating performance and may result in additional expenses and possible loss of revenue.

The expiration of our collective bargaining agreements could result in increased operating costs or work disruptions, which could potentially affect our operating performance.

As of December 30, 2011, we had approximately 29,000 personnel, of which approximately 7,200 are employees of our affiliates. Employees represented by labor unions totaled approximately 2,700. As of December 30, 2011, we had approximately 15 collective bargaining agreements with these unions. The length of these agreements varies, with the longest expiring in March 2014. There can be no assurance that we will not experience labor disruptions associated with the expiration or renegotiation of collective bargaining agreements or otherwise. We could experience a significant disruption of operations and increased operating costs as a result of higher wages or benefits paid to union members, which could adversely affect our operating performance and may result in additional expenses and possible loss of revenue.

Proceedings against us in domestic and foreign courts could result in legal costs and adverse monetary judgments, adversely affecting our operating performance and causing harm to our reputation.

We are involved in various claims and lawsuits from time to time. For example, we are a defendant in two consolidated lawsuits seeking unspecified damages brought by citizens and certain provinces of Ecuador. The basis for the actions, both pending in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, arises from our performance of a DoS contract for the eradication of narcotic plant crops in Colombia. The lawsuits allege personal injury, property damage and wrongful death as a consequence of the spraying of narcotic crops along the Colombian border adjacent to Ecuador. In the event that a court decides against us, in these lawsuits, and we are unable to obtain indemnification from the U.S. Government, or contributions from the other defendants, we may incur substantial costs, which could have a material adverse effect on our results. An adverse ruling in these cases could also adversely affect our reputation and have a material adverse effect on our ability to win future government contracts.

 

17


Other litigation in which we are involved includes wrongful termination and other adverse employment actions, breach of contract, personal injury and property damage actions filed by third parties. Actions involving third-party liability claims generally are covered by insurance; however, in the event our insurance coverage is inadequate to cover such claims, we will be forced to bear the costs arising from a judgment. We do not have insurance coverage for breach of contract actions, and we bear all costs associated with such litigation and claims.

We are subject to certain U.S. laws and regulations, which are the subject of rigorous enforcement by the U.S. government; our noncompliance with such laws and regulations could adversely affect our future operating performance.

We may be subject to qui tam litigation brought by private individuals on behalf of the government under the Federal Civil False Claims Act, which could include claims for treble damages. Government contract violations could result in the imposition of civil and criminal penalties or sanctions, contract termination, forfeiture of profit, and/or suspension of payment, any of which could make us lose our status as an eligible government contractor. We could also suffer serious harm to our reputation. Any interruption or termination of our government contractor status could significantly reduce our future revenue and profits.

To the extent that we export products, technical data and services outside the United States, we are subject to U.S. laws and regulations governing international trade and exports, including but not limited to, the International Traffic in Arms Regulations, the Export Administration Regulations and trade sanctions against embargoed countries, which are administered by the Office of Foreign Assets Control within the Department of the Treasury. Failure to comply with these laws and regulations could result in civil and/or criminal sanctions, including the imposition of fines upon us as well as the denial of export privileges and debarment from participation in U.S. government contracts.

We do business in certain parts of the world that have experienced, or may be susceptible to, governmental corruption. Our corporate policy requires strict compliance with the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, UK Bribery Act and with local laws prohibiting payments to government officials for the purpose of obtaining or keeping business or otherwise obtaining favorable treatment. Improper actions by our employees or agents could subject us to civil or criminal penalties, including substantial monetary fines, as well as disgorgement, and could damage our reputation and, therefore, our ability to do business.

Competition in our industry could limit our ability to attract and retain customers or employees, which could result in a loss of revenue and/or a reduction in margins, which could adversely affect our operating performance.

We compete with various entities across geographic and business lines. Competitors of our GSDS operating segment are typically various solution providers that compete in any one of the service areas provided by those business units. Competitors of our GPSS operating segment are typically large defense services contractors that offer services associated with maintenance, training and other activities. Competitors of our GLS operating segment are typically contractors that provide services in Iraq and Afghanistan or companies that provide language interpretation and translation services both domestically and internationally.

We compete based on a number of factors, including our broad range of services, geographic reach, mobility and response time. Foreign competitors may obtain an advantage over us in competing for U.S. government contracts and attracting employees to the extent we are required by U.S. laws and regulations to remit to the U.S. government statutory payroll withholding amounts for U.S. nationals working on U.S. government contracts while employed by our majority-owned foreign subsidiaries, since foreign competitors may not be similarly obligated by their governments.

Some of our competitors may have greater resources or are otherwise better positioned to compete for contract opportunities. For example, original equipment manufacturers that also provide aftermarket support services have a distinct advantage in obtaining service contracts for aircraft they have manufactured, as they frequently have better access to replacement and service parts, as well as an existing technical understanding of the platform they have manufactured. In addition, we are at a disadvantage when bidding for contracts up for re-competition for which we are not the incumbent provider, because incumbent providers are frequently able to capitalize on customer relationships, technical knowledge and pricing experience gained from their prior service.

In addition to the competition we face in bidding for contracts and task orders, we must also compete to attract the skilled and experienced personnel integral to our continued operations. We hire from a limited pool of potential employees as military and law enforcement experience, specialized technical skill sets and security clearances are prerequisites for many positions. Our failure to compete effectively for employees, or excessive attrition among our skilled personnel, could reduce our ability to satisfy our customers’ needs and increase the costs and time required to perform our contractual obligations. This could adversely affect our operating performance and may result in additional expenses and possible loss of revenue.

 

18


Loss of our skilled personnel, including members of senior management, may have an adverse effect on our operations and/or our operating performance.

Our continued success depends in large part on our ability to recruit and retain the skilled personnel necessary to serve our customers effectively, including personnel with extensive military and law enforcement training and backgrounds. The proper execution of our contract objectives depends upon the availability of quality resources, especially qualified personnel. Given the nature of our business, we have substantial need for personnel who are willing to work overseas, frequently in locations experiencing political or civil unrest, for extended periods of time and often on short notice. We may not be able to meet the need for qualified personnel as such need arises.

In addition, we must comply with provisions in U.S. government contracts that require employment of persons with specified work experience and security clearances. An inability to maintain employees with the required security clearances could have a material adverse effect on our ability to win new business and satisfy our existing contractual obligations, could adversely affect our operating performance and may result in additional expenses and possible loss of revenue.

The loss of services of any of the members of our senior management could adversely affect our business until a suitable replacement can be found. There may be a limited number of personnel with the requisite skills to serve in these positions, and we may be unable to locate and employ such qualified personnel on acceptable terms.

If our subcontractors or joint venture partners fail to perform their contractual obligations, then our performance as the prime contractor and our ability to obtain future business could be materially and adversely impacted.

Many of our contracts involve subcontracts with other companies upon which we rely to perform a portion of the services we must provide to our customers. These subcontractors generally perform niche or specialty services for which they have more direct experience, such as construction, catering services or specialized technical services, or they have local knowledge of the region in which we will be performing and the ability to communicate with local nationals and assist in making arrangements for commencement of performance. Often, we enter into subcontract arrangements in order to meet government requirements to award certain categories of services to small businesses. A failure by one or more of our subcontractors to satisfactorily provide on a timely basis the agreed-upon supplies or perform the agreed-upon services may materially and adversely impact our ability to perform our obligations as the prime contractor. Such subcontractor performance deficiencies could result in a customer terminating our contract for default. A default termination could expose us to liability and adversely affect our operating performance and may result in additional expenses and possible loss of revenue.

We often enter into joint ventures so that we can jointly bid and perform on a particular project. The success of these and other joint ventures depends, in large part, on the satisfactory performance of the contractual obligations by our joint venture partners. If our partners do not meet their obligations, the joint ventures may be unable to adequately perform and deliver their contracted services. Under these circumstances, we may be required to make additional investments and provide additional services to ensure the adequate performance and delivery of the contracted services. These additional obligations could result in reduced profits or, in some cases, significant losses for us with respect to the joint venture, which could also affect our reputation in the industries we serve.

Environmental laws and regulations may subject us to significant costs and liabilities that could adversely affect our operating performance.

We are subject to numerous environmental, legal and regulatory requirements related to our operations worldwide. In the U.S., these laws and regulations include those governing the management and disposal of hazardous substances and wastes and the maintenance of a safe workplace, primarily associated with our aviation services activities, including painting aircraft and handling substances that may qualify as hazardous waste, such as used batteries and petroleum products. In addition to U.S. federal laws and regulations, states and other countries where we do business have numerous environmental, legal and regulatory requirements by which we must abide. We could incur substantial costs, including clean-up costs, as a result of violations of, or liabilities under, environmental laws. This could adversely affect our operating performance and may result in additional expenses and possible loss of revenue.

Acquisition transactions require substantial management resources and may disrupt our business and divert our management from other responsibilities. Acquisitions are accompanied by other risks, including:

 

   

the difficulty of integrating the operations and personnel of the acquired companies;

 

   

the inability of our management to maximize our financial and strategic position by the successful incorporation of acquired personnel into our programs;

 

   

we may not realize anticipated synergies or financial growth;

 

   

we may assume material liabilities that were not identified during due diligence, including potential regulatory penalties resulting from the acquisition target’s previous activities;

 

19


   

difficulty maintaining uniform standards, controls, procedures and policies, with respect to accounting matters and otherwise;

 

   

the potential loss of key employees of acquired companies;

 

   

the impairment of relationships with employees and customers as a result of changes in management and operational structure; and

 

   

acquisitions may require us to invest significant amounts of cash resulting in dilution of stockholder value.

Any inability to successfully integrate the operations and personnel associated with an acquired business and/or service line may harm our business and results of operations.

We may not be able to continue to deploy or sell our helicopter assets.

We have approximately $8.2 million in helicopter assets comprised of seven UH-1HP “Huey” helicopters that are not deployed on existing programs. Due to the past military history of these helicopters and the associated restricted certification status with the Federal Aviation Administration (“FAA”), the helicopters are limited to Public Use applications (police, fire or movement of our personnel and supplies on programs). We had 13 Huey helicopters as of December 31, 2010 and deployed six of them, with a carrying value of $8.1 million, on the LOGCAP IV program in January 2011.

We plan to sell the remaining seven Huey helicopters or utilize them on existing programs. As of December 30, 2011, these helicopter assets were classified as assets held for sale. We have no guarantee that we will be able to successfully sell these assets or if we are unable to sell them, deploy them on other programs. The inability to sell or deploy the remaining helicopters could lead to a material impairment charge in the future.

Changes in, or interpretations of, accounting principles could have a significant impact on our financial position and results of operations.

We prepare our Consolidated Financial Statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). These principles are subject to interpretation by the SEC and various bodies formed to interpret and create appropriate accounting principles. A change in these principles can have a significant effect on our reported results and may even retroactively affect previously reported transactions.

Catastrophic events may disrupt our business and have an adverse effect on our results of operations.

A disruption, infiltration or failure of network, application systems or third-party hosted services in the event of a major earthquake, hurricane, fire, power loss, telecommunications failure, software or hardware malfunctions, cyber-attack, war, terrorist attack or other catastrophic event could cause system interruptions, reputational harm, loss of intellectual property, delays in our ability to provide service to our customers, lengthy interruptions in our services, breaches of data security and loss of critical data and could prevent us from fulfilling our customers’ orders, which could result in reduced revenue. Maintaining the security of computers and computer networks is a critical issue for us and our customers. Hackers continuously develop and deploy malicious software designed to attack information systems, and may use this malicious software against our systems. Despite our implementation of network security controls, our servers are vulnerable to computer viruses and break-ins. Similar disruptions from unauthorized tampering with our computer systems in any such event could have a material effect on our reputation, business, operating results and financial condition.

Our substantial leverage could adversely affect our ability to raise additional capital to fund our operations, limit our ability to react to changes in the economy or our industry, expose us to interest rate risk to the extent of our variable rate debt and prevent us from meeting our obligations under our debt obligations.

We are highly leveraged. As of December 30, 2011, our total indebtedness was approximately $873 million. We had $109.6 million available for borrowing under our revolving credit facility, and the terms of the senior secured credit facilities permit us to increase the amount available under our term loan and/or revolving credit facilities by up to $275 million if we are able to obtain loan commitments from banks and satisfy certain other conditions, including our having capacity to incur such indebtedness under the indenture governing our notes.

Our high degree of leverage could have important consequences including:

 

   

increasing our vulnerability to adverse economic, industry or competitive developments;

 

   

requiring a substantial portion of cash flow from operations to be dedicated to the payment of principal and interest on our indebtedness, therefore reducing our ability to use our cash flow for other purposes, including for our operations, capital expenditures and future business opportunities;

 

20


   

exposing us to the risk of increased interest rates because certain of our borrowings, including borrowings under our senior secured credit facilities, are at variable rates of interest;

 

   

making it more difficult for us to satisfy our obligations with respect to our indebtedness, and any failure to comply with the obligations of any of our debt instruments, including restrictive covenants and borrowing conditions, could result in an event of default under the agreements governing our indebtedness;

 

   

restricting us from making strategic acquisitions or causing us to make non-strategic divestitures;

 

   

limiting our ability to obtain additional debt or equity financing for working capital, capital expenditures, business development, debt service requirements, acquisitions and general corporate or other purposes; and

 

   

limiting our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business or market conditions and placing us at a competitive disadvantage compared to our competitors who are less highly leveraged and who therefore, may be able to take advantage of opportunities that our leverage prevents us from exploiting.

Our interest expense could increase if interest rates increase above the stated LIBOR floor levels in our senior secured credit facilities because the entire amount of the indebtedness under our senior secured credit facilities bears interest at a variable rate. At December 30, 2011, we had approximately $417.3 million aggregate principal amount of variable rate indebtedness under our senior secured credit facilities. A 100 basis point increase over the LIBOR floor levels would increase our annual interest expense by approximately $4.2 million.

Despite our high indebtedness level, we and our subsidiaries still may be able to incur significant additional amounts of debt, which could further exacerbate the risks associated with our substantial indebtedness.

We and our subsidiaries may be able to incur substantial additional indebtedness in the future. Although the agreements governing our debt obligations contain restrictions on the incurrence of additional indebtedness, these restrictions are subject to a number of significant qualifications and exceptions, and under certain circumstances, the amount of indebtedness that could be incurred in compliance with these restrictions could be substantial.

In addition to the $109.6 million which is available to us for borrowing under our revolving credit facility, the terms of our senior secured credit facilities enable us to increase the amount available under our term loan and/or revolving credit facilities by up to an aggregate of $275 million if we are able to obtain loan commitments from banks and satisfy certain other conditions, including our having capacity to incur such indebtedness under the indenture governing our notes. Additionally, we can take on more debt as long as we meet the covenant levels as stated per the indenture and the credit facility. If new debt is added to our and our subsidiaries’ existing debt levels, the related risks that we face would increase. In addition, the agreements governing our debt obligations do not prevent us from incurring obligations that do not constitute indebtedness under those agreements.

Our debt agreements contain restrictions that limit our flexibility in operating our business.

Our debt agreements contain, and the agreements governing any future indebtedness we incur may contain, various covenants that limit our ability to engage in specified types of transactions. These covenants limit our and our restricted subsidiaries’ ability to, among other things:

 

   

incur additional indebtedness or issue certain preferred shares;

 

   

pay dividends on, repurchase or make distributions in respect of our capital stock or make other restricted payments;

 

   

make certain investments;

 

   

sell certain assets;

 

   

create liens;

 

   

consolidate, merge, sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of our assets; and

 

   

enter into certain transactions with our affiliates.

As a result of these covenants, we are limited in the manner in which we conduct our business and we may be unable to engage in favorable business activities or finance future operations or capital needs. In addition, the covenants in our senior secured credit facilities require us to maintain a leverage ratio below the maximum total leverage ratio and interest coverage above a minimum interest coverage ratio, and limit our capital expenditures. A breach of any of these covenants could result in a default under one or more of these agreements, including as a result of cross default provisions under our indenture and, in the case of our revolving credit facility, permit the lenders to cease making loans to us. Upon the occurrence of an event of default under our senior secured credit facilities, the lenders could elect to declare all amounts outstanding under our senior secured credit facilities to be immediately due and payable and terminate all commitments to extend further credit. Such actions by

 

21


those lenders could cause cross defaults under our other indebtedness. If we were unable to repay those amounts, the lenders under our senior secured credit facilities could proceed against the collateral granted to them to secure that indebtedness. We have pledged a significant portion of our assets as collateral under our senior secured credit facilities. If the lenders under the senior secured credit facilities accelerate the repayment of borrowings, the proceeds from the sale or foreclosure upon such assets will first be used to repay debt under our senior secured credit facilities, and we may not have sufficient assets to repay our unsecured indebtedness thereafter, including our notes.

We may not be able to generate sufficient cash to service all of our indebtedness, including the notes, and may be forced to take other actions to satisfy our obligations under our indebtedness, which may not be successful.

Our ability to make scheduled payments on or to refinance our debt obligations depends on our financial condition and operating performance, which is subject to prevailing economic and competitive conditions and to certain financial, business and other factors beyond our control. We may not be able to maintain a level of cash flows from operating activities sufficient to permit us to pay the principal, premium, if any, and interest on our indebtedness, including the notes.

If our cash flows and capital resources are insufficient to fund our debt service obligations, we may be forced to reduce or delay investments and capital expenditures, or to sell assets, seek additional capital or restructure or refinance our indebtedness, including the notes. Our ability to restructure or refinance our debt will depend on the condition of the capital markets and our financial condition at such time. Any refinancing of our debt could be at higher interest rates and may require us to comply with more onerous covenants, which could further restrict our business operations. The terms of existing or future debt instruments and the indenture governing the notes may restrict us from adopting some of these alternatives. In addition, any failure to make payments of interest and principal on our outstanding indebtedness on a timely basis would likely result in a reduction of our credit rating, which could harm our ability to incur additional indebtedness. These alternative measures may not be successful and may not permit us to meet our scheduled debt service obligations.

Repayment of our debt, including the notes, is dependent on cash flow generated by our subsidiaries.

Our subsidiaries own substantially all of our assets and conduct substantially all of our operations. Accordingly, repayment of our indebtedness, including the notes, is dependent, to a significant extent, on the generation of cash flow by our subsidiaries and their ability to make such cash available to us, by dividend, debt repayment or otherwise. Unless they are guarantors of the notes, our subsidiaries do not have any obligation to pay amounts due on the notes or to make funds available for that purpose. Our subsidiaries may not be able to, or may not be permitted to, make distributions to enable DynCorp International to make payments in respect of its indebtedness, including the notes. Each subsidiary is a distinct legal entity and, under certain circumstances, legal and contractual restrictions may limit our ability to obtain cash from DynCorp International’s subsidiaries. While the indenture governing the notes limits the ability of our subsidiaries to incur consensual restrictions on their ability to pay dividends or make other intercompany payments to us, these limitations are subject to certain qualifications and exceptions. In the event that DynCorp International does not receive distributions from its subsidiaries, DynCorp International may be unable to make required principal and interest payments on its indebtedness, including the notes.

We are controlled by Cerberus, who will be able to make important decisions affecting our business.

All of our common stock is indirectly owned by funds and/or managed accounts that are affiliates of Cerberus. As a result, Cerberus is entitled to elect all of our directors, to appoint new management and to approve actions requiring the approval of the holders of our capital stock, including adopting amendments to our certificate of incorporation and approving mergers or sales of substantially all of our assets.

The interests of Cerberus and its affiliates may differ from those of our other investors. For example, if we encounter financial difficulties or are unable to pay our debts as they mature, Cerberus and its affiliates, as equity holders, may have an interest in pursuing acquisitions, divestitures, financings or other transactions that, in their judgment, could enhance their equity investments, even though such transactions might involve risks. Additionally, our debt agreements permits us to pay advisory fees, dividends or make other restricted payments under certain circumstances, and Cerberus may have an interest in our doing so.

We may compete with, or enter into transactions with, entities in which our controlling stockholder holds a substantial interest.

Cerberus is in the business of making investments in companies and may from time to time acquire and hold interests in businesses that compete directly and indirectly with us. In particular, IAP Worldwide Services, Inc. (“IAP”), an entity in which Cerberus holds a controlling equity interest, may compete with us for certain contracts and other opportunities. Further, Steven F. Gaffney, the Chairman of our Board of Directors and our Chief Executive Officer, also serves as the Chairman of the Board of IAP. Corporate opportunities may arise in the area of potential competitive business activities that may be attractive to us as well as to Cerberus or IAP or their respective affiliates, including through potential acquisitions of competing businesses.

 

22


Competition may intensify if an affiliate or subsidiary of Cerberus, including IAP, were to enter into or possibly acquire a business similar to ours. In the event that such a transaction happens, Cerberus is under no obligation to communicate or offer such corporate opportunity to us, even if such opportunity might reasonably have been expected to be of interest to us or our subsidiaries.

In addition, we may in the future make investments in, enter into co-investment or joint venture arrangements with, enter into business combinations with or otherwise collaborate with and invest in other firms or entities, such as our affiliates, including Cerberus or IAP. You should consider that the interests of Cerberus may differ from yours in material respects.

Company Overview

We are a leading provider of specialized mission-critical professional and support services for the U.S. military, non-military U.S. governmental agencies and foreign governments. Our specific global expertise is in law enforcement training and support, security services, base and logistics operations, intelligence training, rule of law development, construction management, platform services and operations and linguist services. We also provide logistics support for all our services. Through our Predecessor entities, we have provided essential services to numerous U.S. government departments and agencies since 1951. Our current customers include the U.S. Department of Defense (“DoD”), the Department of State (“DoS”), foreign governments, commercial customers and certain other U.S. federal, state and local government departments and agencies.

Delta Tucker Holdings, Inc. was formed for the purpose of acquiring DynCorp International Inc. (“DynCorp International”) and had immaterial assets and virtually no operations, except for costs associated with acquiring DynCorp International, prior to the merger on July 7, 2010. Delta Tucker Holdings, Inc. remains the holding company of DynCorp International. DynCorp International wholly owns DynCorp International, LLC, which functions as the operating company.

Our business is aligned into three operating segments, two of which, Global Stabilization and Development Solutions (“GSDS”) and Global Platform Support Solutions (“GPSS”), are wholly-owned. Our third segment, GLS, is a 51% owned joint venture and accounted for as an operationally integral unconsolidated equity method investee. Our reporting segments are identical to our operating segments. Each segment, with the exception of GLS, is comprised of numerous contracts. We align our contracts into Business Area Teams (“BATs”) to assist with the management of our contracts based on the types of services we provide.

As of December 30, 2011, we employed or managed approximately 29,000 personnel, including approximately 7,200 personnel from our GLS segment and other affiliates. We operate in 36 countries through approximately 86 active contracts and approximately 116 active task orders.

We report the results of our operations using a 52-53 week year ending on the Friday closest to December 31. This Annual Report on Form 10-K reflects our financial results for the year ended December 30, 2011 (“calendar year 2011”) and for the period from April 1, 2010 (Inception) through December 31, 2010 (“inception year”). We refer to the Inception Year period as “calendar year 2010” throughout this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Also included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K are financial statements for DynCorp International, which we acquired by merger on July 7, 2010. DynCorp International’s historical fiscal year presentation was comprised of twelve consecutive fiscal months ended on the Friday closest to March 31 of each year. DynCorp International’s last completed fiscal year, prior to the merger on July 7, 2010, ended on April 2, 2010 (“fiscal year 2010”). The three month period ended July 2, 2010, which is the last quarter completed prior to the merger on July 7, 2010, is referred to as the “fiscal quarter ended July 2, 2010.” For clarity in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, we refer to these fiscal periods of DynCorp International that ended prior to the merger as those of the “Predecessor.”

Current Operating Environment and Outlook

External Factors

Since 2001 the overall level of U.S. defense spending has doubled. These historically high defense expenditures were driven by funding operations in Iraq and Afghanistan, which have been appropriated separate and apart from the Department of defense’s base budgeting process. As a result of the U.S. military withdrawal from Iraq in December of 2011, there has been a proportional and expected decline in operational costs. Further downward pressure on the defense budget is being guided by projected draw-downs in Afghanistan and domestic fiscal challenges.

Last August, in reaction to the continued growing budget deficit, Congress enacted the Budget Control Act of 2011 (“the Act”). In addition to setting topline budget authority for fiscal years 2012-2022, the Act directed Congress to create the Joint Select Committee on Deficit Reduction (the “Super Committee”). The Super Committee consisted of six Republicans and six Democrats appointed by the party leadership of the House and Senate. The Super Committee’s mandate was to submit a package of proposals to achieve $1.2 trillion in additional deficit reduction over a ten year period. This would have been the second installment of deficit reduction measures in addition to the nearly $1.0 trillion already identified in the Act. The Super Committee was unable to reach an agreement by the November 23, 2011 deadline. As a result, beginning in January 2013, $1.0 trillion in automatic spending cuts, called sequestration, is set to be triggered, falling evenly on security and non-security programs. Both Congress and the Administration have suggested sequestration is bad policy that would significantly harm our national security and have both pledged to eliminate the threat of the automatic cuts. However, no solution has yet been identified. Budgets are therefore uncertain for the future with these looming cuts to military spending, until an agreed upon solution is enacted.

Funding for our programs is dependent upon the annual budget and the appropriation decisions, as well as geo-political and macroeconomic conditions, which are beyond our control. While these dynamics could place pressure across defense spending, the President’s fiscal year 2013 defense budget request validates that the weapon system acquisition and modernization programs will be most negatively impacted by budget reductions. Operations and Maintenance budgets will remain relatively robust, influenced by (i) the need to reset equipment coming out of Iraq, (ii) the logistics and support chain associated with repositioning of forces and drawdown in Iraq and (iii) further deployments to Afghanistan. Furthermore, we believe the following industry trends will result in continued strong demand in our target markets for the types of services we provide:

 

   

realignment in military force structure, leading to increased outsourcing of non-combat functions, including life-cycle asset management functions ranging from organizational to depot-level maintenance;

 

   

continued focus on smart power initiatives by DOS, USAID, the United Nations, and even the DOD, to include development and smaller-scale stability operations;

 

   

increased maintenance, overhaul and upgrade needs to support aging military platforms;

 

   

growth in outsourcing by foreign governments of maintenance, supply support, facilities management, infrastructure upgrades and construction management-related services; and

 

   

further effort by the U.S. government to move from single award to multiple award IDIQ contracts, which offer an opportunity to increase revenue by competing for task orders with the other contract awardees.

We believe that there will be opportunities to win new Iraq based business over the next three to five years for logistics, equipment reset, training and mentoring of Iraqi forces and government agencies and translation services to support security and peacekeeping activities.

We believe that we are well positioned in Afghanistan to capitalize on the U.S. government focus, including security forces training and mentoring, aircraft logistics and operations, infrastructure development and logistics services under LOGCAP IV through calendar year 2012. Additionally, as the President’s budget notes, as the U.S. military draws-down, the Department of State will increase their diplomatic activities in Afghanistan. Similar to the situation in Iraq, we believe this situation could create opportunities for us. However, recent comments pointing towards accelerating the transition from a combat to train and advise mission could lead to a shift in program priorities and funding requirements. The investments and acquisitions we have made over the past three years have been focused on aligning our business to address areas that have high growth potential, including intelligence training and rule of law development, as well as parallel evolving customer requirements. Nevertheless, the possibility remains that one or more of our programs could be reduced, postponed, or terminated as a result of the Obama administration’s assessment of priorities in the next year and following.

Current Economic Conditions

We believe that our industry and customer base are less likely to be affected by many of the factors generally affecting business and consumer spending. Our contracts typically have a term of three to ten years consisting of a base period of one year with multiple one-year options, and we have a strong history of being awarded a majority of the contract options.

 

28


Additionally, since our primary customer is the federal government, we have not historically had significant issues with bad debt. However, given the continued scrutiny by the U.S. government, we could be subjected to regulatory requirements, which could require audits at various points within our contracting process. An adverse finding under an audit could result in the disallowance of costs under a U.S. contract, termination of a U.S. government contract, forfeiture of profits or suspension of payments, which could prove to be impactful to our liquidity position and affect our ability to invoice and receive timely payment on our contracts, perform contracts or compete for contracts with the U.S. government. If the DCAA cannot complete timely periodic reviews of our control systems, they could render the status of these systems as “non-current” resulting in an adverse outcome.

We cannot be certain that the economic environment or other factors will not adversely impact our business, financial condition or results of operations in the future. We believe that our primary sources of liquidity, such as customer collections and the Senior Credit Facility (as defined below), will enable us to continue to perform under our existing contracts and support further growth of our business. However, adverse conditions, such as a long term credit crisis, could adversely affect our ability to obtain additional liquidity or refinance existing indebtedness at acceptable terms or at all, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. See “Risk Factors—Economic conditions could impact our business” for a discussion of the risks associated with current economic conditions.

Notable Events for the year ended December 30, 2011

 

   

In January 2011, we received a $46.0 million tax refund from the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”). We had previously received a $34.1 million tax refund from the IRS in December 2010. The combined $80.1 million refund related to an approved change in accounting method (“CIAM”).

 

   

In January 2011, we were awarded a task order under our CFT program with the U.S. Air Force. The one year base and one option year contract is estimated to generate revenue of up to $105.0 million.

 

   

In January 2011, we terminated certain legacy Phoenix employees. This accelerated certain retention bonus expenses previously being amortized over thirty-six months, resulting in $3.1 million in unallowable retention bonus expenses incurred during the three months ended April 1, 2011. This was a non-cash expense funded through a Phoenix acquisition related escrow account.

 

   

In February 2011, we sent termination notices to approximately 36 employees working in Germany on the CFT program. This resulted in us incurring approximately $2.2 million of allowable severance costs, which was recorded in Cost of services within our Statement of Operations.

 

   

In February 2011, we were notified that the Iraqi based portion of the CivPol contract was extended until March 2012.

 

   

In February 2011, we were awarded a contract through our subsidiary, Casals, in Timor Leste to support anti-corruption efforts. The 36 month contract has an estimated revenue value of up to $6.9 million.

 

   

In March 2011, we realigned and eliminated certain positions in order to improve the structure of our company. This triggered severance expense of $1.7 million, which was allowable and allocated to our operating segments and resulted in lower consolidated labor related to Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses over the remainder of calendar year 2011.

 

   

In March 2011, we were notified that we lost the Life Cycle Support Services (“LCCS”) Navy contract. This caused us to revalue certain inventory at its market value, which resulted in a $1.9 million write down of inventory in Cost of services within our Statement of Operations. We also reclassified the remaining carrying value of $2.8 million of assets as held for sale.

 

   

In March 2011, we made a $50.0 million payment on our term loan. This included the scheduled quarterly $1.4 million payment as well as $48.6 million of additional principal. This caused the acceleration of unamortized deferred financing fees of $2.4 million, which were recorded as Loss on extinguishment of debt within our Statement of Operations.

 

   

In March 2011, we entered into an agreement to sell two MD 530F Helicopters totaling $1.6 million. We also wrote down the remaining value of the helicopter inventory by $0.6 million in line with the pending sales price during the first quarter of calendar year 2011. This sale closed in May 2011.

 

   

In March 2011, we received our second LOGCAP IV Award Fee determination related to the Afghanistan operations. This award fee covered definitized costs from August 1, 2010 through January 31, 2011 and the determination was higher than our estimated award fee scores resulting in the recognition of total revenue of $29.4 million for the three months ended July 1, 2011.

 

   

In May 2011, we were selected by the DoS Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs as one of five providers on the Criminal Justice Program Support (“CJPS”) contract. The contract is an IDIQ contract with a one year base and four option years with a total potential value of $10.0 billion across all providers.

 

   

In May and June 2011, we were awarded four new task orders by the U.S. Air Force under the Air Force Contract Augmentation Program III (“AFCAP III”). The task orders, with a one year base and one option year, have a revenue potential of $48.5 million.

 

   

In July 2011, GLS was awarded, by the Department of the Army, a multiple-award IDIQ contract. GLS will be one of six providers that will compete for task orders on the $9.7 billion DLITE contract providing translation and interpretation services worldwide for Army personnel, among other services.

 

   

In July 2011, we were awarded two new task orders under the CFT contract vehicle for aviation maintenance work. The task orders have a combined potential value of $244.8 million.

 

   

In August 2011, we were awarded a contract with the U.S. Naval Air Systems to provide aviation maintenance and logistic support. The total value of the cost-plus-fixed fee contract is $490.0 million, with four option years and a base year valued at $92.8 million.

 

30


   

In August 2011, we were awarded a contract with the U.S. Air Force to provide aircraft maintenance and other services. The total value of the firm-fixed price contract is $400.9 million with six option years and a base year value at $54.4 million.

 

   

In September 2011, we were awarded a contract with the U.S. Navy to provide operations and maintenance services. The total value of the fixed price contract is $20.9 million with four option years and one base year.

 

   

In September 2011, Global Response Services (“GRS”), our 51% owned joint venture, was one of four contractors awarded an IDIQ contract by the Department of the Navy. The total potential value of the contract is $900.0 million over five years.

 

   

In September 2011, we were awarded two new task orders under the Worldwide Protective Services (“WPS”) contract within our Security BAT.

 

   

In October 2011, we were awarded a task order under the CFT contract with the U.S. Army to provide aviation maintenance, modifications and logistics support for the Army rotary wing aircraft. The task order is for one base year and one option year and has a potential value of approximately $80.0 million, if all options are exercised.

 

   

In October and December 2011, we made two separate principal payments, each for $48.7 million and $50.0 million, respectively, on our term loan. The October payment eliminated all future quarterly amortization payments until maturity. These payments caused the acceleration of unamortized deferred financing fees of $4.9 million, which were recorded as a Loss on extinguishment of debt within our Statement of Operations during the fourth quarter of calendar year 2011.

 

   

In November and December 2011, we received our third LOGCAP IV Award Fee determination related to Afghanistan and Kuwait operations, respectively. These award fee determinations covered definitized costs from February 1, 2011 through July 31, 2011 and in total were lower than our estimated award fee scores.

Revenue — Revenue of $3,721.5 million for the year ended December 30, 2011 was primarily driven by revenue earned under the Contingency Operations, Training and Mentoring, Aviation and Air Operations BATs, which comprised over 90% of total consolidated revenue. See further discussion of our revenue results in the “Results by Segment” below.

Cost of services — Costs of services are comprised of direct labor, direct material, overhead, subcontractor, travel, supplies and other miscellaneous costs. Cost of services for the year ended December 30, 2011 totaled $3,409.2 million, or 91.6% of revenue. As a percentage of revenue, cost of services was primarily driven by our overall contract mix from all of our programs. In 2011, a significant amount of our contracts were cost reimbursable, which tends to carry lower margins and risk compared to fixed price contracts. See further discussion of the impact of program margins in the “Results by Segment” below.

Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) — SG&A primarily relates to functions such as management, legal, financial accounting, contracts and administration, human resources, management information systems, purchasing and business development. SG&A of $149.6 million for the year ended December 30, 2011 was 4.0% of revenue and was primarily comprised of (i) consulting and other professional services that became necessary to assist in completing business systems improvements (ii) labor and contract labor costs and (iii) severance costs.

Depreciation and amortization — Depreciation and amortization for the year ended December 30, 2011 was $50.8 million and consisted primarily of unallowable monthly amortization expenses recognized since the Merger date on the carrying values of intangibles valued at fair value and the associated depreciation on property and equipment purchases.

Earnings from equity method investees — Earnings from equity method investees for the year ended December 30, 2011 was $12.8 million. This amount includes our proportionate share of equity method investees deemed to be an extension of our BATs and operationally integral to our business, such as GLS. As a result of the impairment recorded in September 2011, we no longer recognized any earnings related to our equity method investee, GLS, until we receive cash through dividend distributions.

 

32


Impairment of equity method investment — Impairment of equity method investment for the year ended December 30, 2011 was $76.6 million. We recognized an impairment charge on our investment in GLS as we concluded it had an other than temporary loss in value during the period. See Note 12 to the Delta Tucker Holdings, Inc. consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report for further discussion.

Impairment of goodwill — Impairment of goodwill for the year ended December 30, 2011 was $33.8 million. We recognized an impairment charge on our goodwill associated with two reporting units within the GSDS reporting segment as a result of our annual goodwill impairment test. See Note 3 to the Delta Tucker Holdings, Inc. consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report for further discussion.

Interest expense — Interest expense for the year ended December 30, 2011 was $91.8 million. Interest expense was impacted by the financing costs of our senior unsecured notes and our senior credit facility, including the amortization of deferred financing costs, interest related to financed insurance, interest on certain taxes and other miscellaneous interest expense.

Loss on early extinguishment of debt — Loss on the early extinguishment of debt of $7.3 million for the year ended December 30, 2011 was attributable to principal prepayments on the term loan totaling $147.3 million made during calendar year 2011. Deferred financing costs associated with the additional prepayment were expensed and recorded to Loss on early extinguishment of debt.

Other income, net — Other income, net for the year ended December 30, 2011 was $6.1 million. Other income was primarily related to our earnings from our unconsolidated joint venture that is not considered integral to our business.

Income taxes — Our effective tax rate for the year ended December 30, 2011 was 25.7% primarily as a result of our combined federal and state statutory rates and certain permanent differences, primarily resulting from the Merger. Additionally, for the year ended December 30, 2011 we reversed approximately $1.0 million in reserves on uncertain tax positions in conjunction with new IRS guidance.

Global Stabilization and Development Solutions

Revenue — Revenue of $2,402.1 million for the year ended December 30, 2011 was primarily driven by LOGCAP IV operations within the Contingency Operations BAT and our Training and Mentoring BAT. These two BATs comprised over 90% of the GSDS revenue. This and other sources of revenue for the year ended December 30, 2011 are discussed below.

Contingency Operations — Revenue of $1,656.7 million for the year ended December 30, 2011 was primarily driven by revenue earned for LOGCAP IV operations in Afghanistan, including award fee revenue. The LOGCAP IV contract is a primarily cost-reimbursable contract providing for payment of allowable incurred costs, to the extent prescribed in the contract, plus a fixed base fee and an award fee. In addition to the revenue received thus far for allowable costs and fixed based fee, we have been impacted by the additional revenue recorded for our related award-fees earned in the current year. We accrue award fees when we can make reasonable estimates for determining the total estimated contract revenue. In the aggregate, we recorded an unfavorable adjustment of $1.8 million as our actual award fee determination was lower than our estimate of the LOGCAP IV award fee scores.

Development — Revenue of $26.1 million for the year ended December 30, 2011 was primarily attributable to the management consulting services we provide assisting with the development of stable and democratic governments and aiding the growth of democratic public and civil institutions.

Intelligence Training and Solutions — Revenue of $29.0 million for the year ended December 30, 2011 primarily consisted of collection and analysis services performed by our subsidiary Phoenix Consulting Group, LLC (“Phoenix”). Historically, revenue related to this BAT primarily consisted of training services provided through Phoenix; however, we are expanding our core competency in collection and analysis to deliver global mission support to the intelligence and special operations community. Through Phoenix, we provide proprietary training courses, management consulting and augmentation services to the intelligence community and national security clients. We continue to pursue new training opportunities within this BAT in addition to expanding global mission to the intelligence and special operations community.

Training & Mentoring — Revenue of $620.9 million for the year ended December 30, 2011 was primarily driven by our CivPol, AMDP and CSTC-A programs. The AMDP program, which we were awarded in December 2010, was in full operation by the beginning of the third quarter. The AMDP program substantially replaced the CivPol Afghanistan program, although at lower margins. Also contributing to our Training & Mentoring revenue was our CSTC-A program. We expect our Training & Mentoring revenue to increase through calendar year 2012 as a result of the anticipated growth in our AMDP and CSTC-A programs, although at lower margins than historically received on the CivPol Afghanistan program.

Security — Revenue of $69.0 million for the year ended December 30, 2011 was primarily attributable to both Worldwide Protective Services (“WPS”) and World Wide Personal Protection Program (“WPPS”). Operations under the WPPS program ended during calendar year 2011; however, we expect revenue within this BAT to trend upward as we obtained the WPS contract in September of 2011, replacing the WPPS program. The WPS program is fully operational and we continue to pursue new business opportunities providing security and personal protection within this BAT.

Operating income — Operating income of $24.1 million for the year ended December 30, 2011, was primarily due to revenue contributions on such programs as LOGCAP IV, AMDP and CivPol. The LOGCAP IV program provided for additional operating income through the related award fees and base fees earned during the year. Operating income was offset by non-routine severance costs within the Intelligence Training and Solutions (“ITS”) and Development BATs incurred in the first quarter of calendar year 2011 and a contract loss of $5.0 million related to an investment in our Contingency Operations BAT incurred to strategically enter into additional service areas in Afghanistan. Additionally, we incurred an impairment charge of $33.8 million related to the ITS and Training and Mentoring reporting units as a result of our annual goodwill impairment test. See Note 3 to the Delta Tucker Holdings, Inc. consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report for further discussion. Aggregate total adjustments to operating income, resulting from changes to contract estimates for this segment, amounted to $5.0 million for the year ended December 30, 2011 primarily due to award fee revenue earned under the LOGCAP IV program discussed above. As a percentage of revenue, operating income was 1.0% of revenue primarily due to LOGCAP IV, AMDP and CivPol carrying lower margins than our firm fixed price contracts. Lower margins are anticipated going forward as the CivPol programs have been substantially replaced in Afghanistan by the AMDP program.

Global Platform Support Solutions

Revenue — Revenue of $1,313.6 million for the year ended December 30, 2011 was attributable to our operations under the Aviation and Air Operations BATs.

Aviation — Revenue of $638.3 million for the year ended December 30, 2011 was primarily driven by operations under our CFT, Counter Narcoterrorism Technology Program Officer (“CNTPO”) programs and international contracts that continue to show strong revenue performance. Most recently we secured the Pax River contract that has yielded positive revenue performance for the quarter. While this BAT has shown positive results, it was also negatively impacted during the year by the loss of the LCCS contract, which effectively ended November 2010. We believe this BAT will continue to show growth in calendar year 2012 as we believe we will obtain a competitive advantage in winning new contracts with our customers refocusing on the best value rather than just low cost. We recently benefited from a win of the Fort Campbell contract, which is another CFT contract.

Air Operations — Revenue of $465.3 million for the year ended December 30, 2011 was primarily attributable to our INL Air Wing program, providing aircraft maintenance, intra-theater transportation and construction services for DoS personnel throughout Iraq and Afghanistan. We expect continued growth within the INL Air wing program as we continue to expand our aircraft and personnel requirements in support of the DoS in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Operations & Maintenance — Revenue of $208.7 million for the year ended December 30, 2011 was primarily driven by operations under our WRM, Philippines Operations Support and Navistar Defense programs. Operations under the Navistar program include operations that were previously included under our Mine Resistant Ambush Protected Vehicles (“MRAP”) program. We anticipate steady growth from the Navistar program through calendar year 2012, as we are optimistic of obtaining extensions on the order for another year. Additionally, operations under our WRM and Philippines Operations Support programs are expected to continue at the current pace for calendar year 2012.

Operating income — Operating income of $111.3 million for the year ended December 30, 2011 was primarily attributable to income produced by our INL Air Wing program from operations in Iraq, Afghanistan and other countries. Operating income was also impacted by better than expected profitability of our Aviation BAT, partially offset by first quarter events, such as $2.2 million of severance expense related to certain German employees on the CFT program and a $1.9 million write-down of LCCS inventory. Aggregate total adjustments to operating income resulted from changes to contract estimates for this segment amounted to $3.7 million for the year ended December 30, 2011.

Global Linguist Solutions

Revenue — Revenue of $359.6 million was directly linked to the number of linguists deployed in support of U.S. troop levels in Iraq. The focus of the Obama Administration over the past year has been to ramp down the troops in Iraq which has had a direct impact on revenue. President Obama recently declared an end to the Iraq war and requested the troops be withdrawn. Due to these factors, as well as the issuance of a Form 1 by the DCAA (see Note 12 to the Delta Tucker Holdings, Inc. consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report for further discussion), we recorded an impairment of our investment in GLS in the amount of $76.6 million. We have submitted a bid on the first task order related to the DLITE contract, although no final decision on this task order is expected until the second half of calendar year 2012. As a result of the matters mentioned above, we believe revenue from this segment will continue to decline through calendar year 2012.

Operating income — Operating income of $26.7 million, or 7.4% of revenue, for the year ended December 30, 2011 was primarily driven by revenue recognized by GLS during the year, including associated award fee revenue. We believe operating income will continue to decline through calendar year 2012, given the recent developments mentioned above. Aggregate total adjustments to operating income resulting from changes to contract estimates due to positive award fee determinations for this segment amounted to $2.0 million for the year ended December 30, 2011.

Revenue — Revenue was $1,697.7 million for the period from April 1, 2010 (Inception) through December 31, 2010. Revenue was primarily driven by revenue from our Contingency Operations BAT within our GSDS segment, which yielded a fully ramped-up LOGCAP IV Afghanistan task order and award fee recognition on the LOGCAP IV program. See further discussion in our results by segments below.

Cost of services — Costs of services are comprised of direct labor, direct material, overhead, subcontractor, travel, supplies and other miscellaneous costs. Cost of services was $1,544.2 million for the period from April 1, 2010 (Inception) through December 31, 2010. As a percentage of revenue, Cost of services was 91.0%, primarily driven by the contribution of relatively lower margin revenue from our LOGCAP IV program.

Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) — SG&A primarily relates to functions such as management, legal, financial accounting, contracts and administration, human resources, management information systems, purchasing and business development. SG&A expenses were $78.0 million for the period from April 1, 2010 (Inception) through December 31, 2010. SG&A expenses were comprised primarily of $39.4 million in labor costs and severance related costs of $7.5 million in association with our former CEO and CFO. SG&A also includes legal defense and settlement costs.

Merger expenses incurred by Delta Tucker Holdings, Inc. — Merger expenses incurred by Delta Tucker Holdings, Inc. relate to legal costs and deal fees directly associated with the Merger, other than the bridge commitment fee which is discussed separately below. These expenses are non-recurring.

Depreciation and amortization — Depreciation and amortization were $25.8 million for the period from April 1, 2010 (Inception) through December 31, 2010. The expense consist of monthly amortization expenses recognized since the Merger date based on the carrying values of customer related intangibles recorded from acquisition accounting and amortization related to the cost basis of pre-Merger assets.

Earnings from equity method investees — Earnings from unconsolidated affiliates of $10.3 million includes our proportionate share of equity method investees deemed to be an extension of our BATs and operationally integral to our business. The majority of earnings from unconsolidated affiliates are primarily attributable to GLS.

Interest expense — Interest expense was $46.8 million for the period from April 1, 2010 (Inception) through December 31, 2010. Interest expense was driven by amortization of deferred financing costs and our average outstanding debt from the new Senior Credit facility (the “Senior Credit Facility”) and the new Senior Unsecured notes (the “Senior Unsecured Notes”). Pre-Merger interest was $12.7 million.

 

36


Bridge commitment fee incurred by Delta Tucker Holdings, Inc. — Bridge commitment fees relate to costs associated with a bridge financing arrangement which expired upon issuance of the notes issued in connection with the Merger.

Other income, net — Other income, net was $1.9 million and includes our share of earnings from unconsolidated joint ventures that are not operationally integral to our business as well as gains/losses from foreign currency.

Benefit for income taxes — Benefit for income taxes was a net benefit of $7.9 million primarily due to the pre-tax loss driven by the Merger expenses and bridge commitment fees incurred by Delta Tucker Holdings, Inc.

The following table sets forth the revenue for our GSDS, GPSS and GLS operating segments, both in dollars and as a percentage of our consolidated revenue as well as operating income for the operating segments, along with segment operating margin, for the period from April 1, 2010 (Inception) through December 31, 2010.

Global Stabilization and Development Solutions

Revenue — Revenue was $1,053.8 million for the period from April 1, 2010 (Inception) through December 31, 2010.

Contingency Operations — Revenue was $722.6 million, for the period from April 1, 2010 (Inception) through December 31, 2010, primarily due to the benefit of fully ramped-up LOGCAP IV operations in Afghanistan combined with the recognition of award fee revenue during the period as we received notification from our customer on our award fee performance on several task orders.

 

37


Development — Revenue was $41.3 million, for the period from April 1, 2010 (Inception) through December 31, 2010, primarily from our Africa Peacekeeping and AFRICAP programs.

Intelligence Training and Solutions — Revenue was $16.5 million, for the period from April 1, 2010 (Inception) through December 31, 2010, consisting primarily of training services performed by our subsidiary, Phoenix Consulting Group Inc.

Training, Mentoring & Security — Revenue was $279.8 million, for the period from April 1, 2010 (Inception) through December 31, 2010, primarily driven by personnel levels on our CivPol program. During the period, we experienced reductions in personnel levels on CivPol as a result of a shift in strategy by our customer to focus on more highly skilled training and mentoring services while reducing the overall number of deployed trainers and mentors in Iraq and a temporary decline in personnel during the transition period between the DoS and DoD in Afghanistan. We were awarded a new contract by the U.S. Army in December 2010, however, given the nature of the new contract, we could experience lower profit margins than those originally experienced with the CivPol Afghanistan contract. The base period of performance runs for twenty-four months with one twelve month option period. The total contract value for the thirty-six months is approximately $1.0 billion.

Operating income — Operating income was $36.1 million for the period from April 1, 2010 (Inception) through December 31, 2010. As a percentage of revenue, operating income was 3.4%, which was driven by the high percentage of revenue coming from the LOGCAP IV program, which has had relatively low margins since the inception of the contract in fiscal year 2010.

Global Platform Support Solutions

Revenue — Revenue was $638.9 million for the period from April 1, 2010 (Inception) through December 31, 2010. Excluding the impact of segment home office, which is unallowable.

Aviation — Revenue was $354.1 million for the period from April 1, 2010 (Inception) through December 31, 2010, primarily impacted by declining work on our CFT programs as a result of decreasing rates on our CFT task orders and the impact of the loss of our LCCS Army program which transitioned to a new awardee in November 2010. In the period, we also recognized a $9.5 million settlement of a claim on the LCCS program and experienced an increase in the Sheppard Air Force Base contract, which was fully ramped-up with higher revenue in the second half of the calendar year.

Air Operations — Revenue was $183.3 million for the period from April 1, 2010 (Inception) through December 31, 2010, primarily driven by revenue on the INL Air Wing program providing transportation services in Iraq, as well as an increase in service levels in Afghanistan which started in the third quarter of fiscal year 2011. However, we experienced a decrease in INL service levels in Colombia during the period.

Operations & Maintenance — Revenue of $103.2 million for the period from April 1, 2010 (Inception) through December 31, 2010, was primarily driven by revenue earned on the MRAP program.

Operating income — Operating income of $54.7 million was primarily impacted by low margins on revenue in our Aviation and Operations & Maintenance BATs, partially offset by the recognition of $9.5 million from the settlement of a claim on the LCCS program, which directly benefited our operating margin.

Global Linguist Solutions

Revenue — Revenue was $285.8 million for the period from April 1, 2010 (Inception) through December 31, 2010, directly linked to the number of linguists deployed in support of U.S. troop levels in Iraq, which has trended lower during the period due to the troop drawdown. GLS is an operationally integral equity method investee and as such, revenue for the entity is not included in our consolidated revenue on our statement of operations.

Operating income — Operating income was $19.3 million for the period from April 1, 2010 (Inception) through December 31, 2010 which was directly impacted by revenue as discussed above and the receipt of higher than expected award fee scores on the program.

Revenue — Revenue for the fiscal quarter ended July 2, 2010 was $944.7 million, which is more fully described in the results by segment, and included a full quarter of revenue from the LOGCAP IV Afghanistan task, which did not start ramping up until the end of the second quarter in fiscal year 2010.

Cost of services — Costs of services are comprised of direct labor, direct material, overhead, subcontractor, other direct costs and overhead. Other direct costs include travel, supplies and other miscellaneous costs. Costs of services for the fiscal quarter ended July 2, 2010 totaled $857.0 million, or 90.7% of revenue. Cost of services included a large LOGCAP IV contribution. A change in overall contract mix and cost increases on CFT programs also impacted Cost of services for the period.

Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) — SG&A primarily relates to functions such as management, legal, financial accounting, contracts and administration, human resources, management information systems, purchasing and business development. SG&A for the fiscal quarter ended July 2, 2010 was $38.5 million, or 4.1% of revenue. SG&A costs for the quarter contained bid and proposal costs to support future diversification of the Company as well as $3.4 million in Merger related costs, $2.9 million in stock-based compensation, retention bonuses, and acquisition earn-out related costs, and $3.7 million in compliance training and legal expenses.

Depreciation and amortization — Depreciation and amortization for the fiscal quarter ended July 2, 2010 was $10.3 million, or 1.1% of revenue, and was comprised primarily of amortization of customer related intangibles and the amortization of Phoenix and Casals intangibles.

Interest expense — Interest expense for the fiscal quarter ended July 2, 2010 was $12.6 million, or 1.3% of revenue. The interest expense incurred was primarily related to DynCorp International’s credit facility, 9.5% senior subordinated notes and amortization of deferred financing fees relating to these debt instruments.

Income tax expense — Our effective tax rate was 34.3% for the fiscal quarter ended July 2, 2010. Our effective tax rate was impacted by nondeductible costs associated with the Merger as well as the difference between financial reporting and tax treatment of GLS and DynCorp International FZ-LLC (“DIFZ”), which are not consolidated for tax purposes but are instead taxed as partnerships under the Internal Revenue Code.

Noncontrolling interests — Noncontrolling interests reflect the impact of our equity partners’ interest in our consolidated joint ventures, GLS and DIFZ. For the first quarter of fiscal year 2011, noncontrolling interests for GLS and DIFZ were $4.2 million and $0.8 million, respectively.

Revenue — Revenue of $478.2 million for the fiscal quarter ended July 2, 2010 was comprised primarily of $283.8 million of revenue on the LOGCAP IV program which benefited from a full quarter of operations in Afghanistan, revenue earned on our CivPol program for training and mentoring services in Iraq and Afghanistan and revenue of $61.8 million earned on the wind-down of the Afghanistan construction contracts.

Operating income — Operating income of $22.2 million for the fiscal quarter ended July 2, 2010, included (i) margins earned on LOGCAP IV Afghanistan revenue, although at relatively low margins as criteria for award fee recognition had not yet been met for the quarter, (ii) contributions by Intelligence and Training Solutions as a result of the Phoenix acquisition and (iii) only minimal losses on the Afghanistan construction programs.

Global Platform Support Solutions

Revenue — Revenue of $317.5 million for the fiscal quarter ended July 2, 2010 was comprised primarily of revenue from a new contract to provide aircraft maintenance support services at Sheppard Air Force Base, continuing services on the CFT program, although at lower than average margins, continuing services on the LCCS program, and continuing services on the MRAP program.

Operating income — Operating income of $21.3 million for the fiscal quarter ended July 2, 2010 was driven by: (i) low margins on the CFT program caused by than average lower time-and-materials rates and fixed price ceilings on existing work, (ii) low margins on the LCCS programs due to the lack of higher-margin engine overhaul work performed in the period and (iii) lower than average volume of higher margin work on the MRAP program.

Global Linguist Solutions

Revenue of $149.3 million was directly linked to the number of linguists deployed in support of U.S. troop levels in Iraq, which trended lower during the quarter due to troop drawdown.

 

40


Operating income of $9.1 million was directly impacted by revenue as discussed above and the receipt of higher than expected award fee scores on the program. Operating income earned by GLS benefits net income by our 51% ownership of the joint venture.

Revenue — Revenue of $3,572.5 million for fiscal year 2010 was primarily due to the ramp up of the LOGCAP IV and INSCOM programs. Additionally, revenue was also driven by our acquisitions of Phoenix and Casals. See further discussion of our revenue results in the “Results by Segment” section below.

Cost of services — Costs of services are comprised of direct labor, direct material, overhead, subcontractor, travel, supplies and other miscellaneous costs. Cost of services for fiscal year 2010 totaled $3,225.3 million, or 90.3% of revenue. As a percentage of revenue, cost of services was primarily due to low margins on our CFT and CivPol programs and our fee sharing arrangement with our collaborative partners on the LOGCAP IV program partially offset by higher award fees on the INSCOM contract and lower losses associated with our Afghanistan Construction program.

Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) — SG&A primarily relates to functions such as management, legal , financial accounting, contracts and administration, human resources, management information systems, purchasing and business development. SG&A of $106.4 million or 3.0% of revenue, for fiscal year 2010 was primarily comprised of severance charges related to our former Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), Herb Lanese, former GPSS president Natale DiGesualdo and former Senior Vice President and Chief Compliance Officer as well as increases in business development costs in support of our growth. These amounts were partially offset by the reversal of a $10.0 million legal reserve related to a favorable appellate court decision on the WWNS case.

Depreciation and amortization — Depreciation and amortization for fiscal year 2010 was $41.6 million and consisted primarily of monthly amortization expenses related to intangible assets acquired in our purchase of Phoenix and Casals.

Interest expense — Interest expense for fiscal year 2010 was $55.7 million and was primarily due to interest incurred on our pre-Merger credit facility and repurchase of 9.5% senior subordinated notes.

Income tax expense — Our effective tax rate for fiscal year 2010 was 31.5% as a result of the difference in financial reporting and tax treatment of GLS and DIFZ, which were consolidated for financial reporting purposes but treated as partnerships for tax purposes.

 

42


Noncontrolling interests — Noncontrolling interests reflect the impact of our equity partners’ interest in DIFZ and GLS, which were consolidated during fiscal year 2010. For fiscal year 2010, noncontrolling interests for GLS and DIFZ were $21.5 million and $3.1 million, respectively.

Global Stabilization & Development Solutions

Revenue — Revenue for fiscal year 2010 was $1,512.1 million. See further discussion of revenue by BAT below.

Contingency Operations — Revenue of $674.0 million for fiscal year 2010 was primarily due to the ramp-up of our task orders under our LOGCAP IV program.

Development — Revenue of $119.6 million for fiscal year 2010 was primarily due to the operations under our AFRICAP/Africa Peacekeeping program.

Intelligence Training and Solutions — Revenue of $13.0 million for fiscal year 2010 was attributable to training services performed by our subsidiary Phoenix.

Training, Mentoring and Security — Revenue of $705.7 million for fiscal year 2010 was primarily a result of our operations under our CivPol and WPPS programs. Additionally, our new program, MNSTC-I, was launched during the year.

Operating income — Operating income of $86.7 million for fiscal year 2010 was primarily related to an expansion of services on our LOGCAP IV, WPPS and MNSTC-I programs; the reversal of the $10.0 million WWNS legal reserve; and lower losses on our Afghanistan Construction program.

Global Platform Support Solutions

Revenue — Revenue of $1,325.1 million for fiscal year 2010 was primarily the result of the following:

Aviation — Revenue of $715.6 million for fiscal year 2010 was primarily the result of the completion of several CFT task orders for which we did not win the re-competes due to additional competitors in the service space bidding what we believe to be at zero or negative margin levels partially offset by our new contract to provide aircraft maintenance support services at Sheppard Air Force Base.

Air Operations — Revenue of $333.5 million for fiscal year 2010 was due primarily to new task orders that are to include air transportation services, in Afghanistan and Iraq under our INL program.

 

43


Operations and Maintenance — Revenue of $276.3 million for fiscal year 2010 was primarily due to operations under our GMC and MRAP programs as well as non-recurring threat systems management work.

Operating income — Operating income of $110.8 million for fiscal year 2010 was primarily attributable to the margins on the MRAP program associated with the revenues and better cost management in several key aviation programs, including LCCS and INL, partially offset by the completion of several CFT task orders for which we did not win the re-competes.

Global Linguist Solutions

Revenue — Revenue of $734.0 million for fiscal year 2010 was primarily attributable to the performance under the INSCOM contract resulting in higher award fees as well as an increase in volume, partially offset by the impact of a contract modification for Option Year 1 agreed to in the third quarter.

Operating income — Operating income of $46.4 million for fiscal year 2010 was primarily attributable to the revenue items discussed above.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cash generated by operations and borrowings available under our new Senior Secured Credit facility (“Senior Credit Facility”) are our primary sources of short-term liquidity (refer to Note 7 to the Delta Tucker Holdings, Inc. audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for more detail). We believe our cash flow from operations and our available borrowings will be adequate to meet our liquidity needs for the next twelve months. However, access to our revolver is dependent upon our meeting financial and non-financial covenants, summarized below and our cash flow from operations is heavily dependent upon billing and collection of our accounts receivable. Significant changes or limitations in collections or loss of our ability to access our revolver, could materially negatively impact liquidity and our ability to fund our working capital needs. Our primary use of short-term liquidity includes debt service and working capital needs sufficient to pay for materials, labor, services or subcontractors prior to receiving payments from our customers. There can be no assurance that sufficient capital will continue to be available in the future or that it will be available at terms acceptable to us. Failure to meet covenant obligations could result in elimination of access to our Senior Credit Facility which would materially affect our future expansion strategies and our ability to meet our operational obligations.

Management believes Days Sales Outstanding (“DSO”) is an appropriate way to measure our billing and collections effectiveness. DSO measures the efficiency in collecting our receivables as of the period end date and is calculated based on average daily revenue for the most recent quarter and accounts receivable net of customer advances as of the balance sheet date. DSO as of December 30, 2011, was 69 days as compared to 82 days as of December 31, 2010. The decrease in DSO is a result of continued operational focus on streamlining our collections process with our DoS receivable. The decrease in our DSO coupled with our tax refund received below has reduced working capital enabling the pay-down on our Term Loan facility in the amount of $147.3 million. As we continue to improve our processes, we expect to sustain DSO in the low 70s during calendar year 2012.

As we experienced in calendar year 2011, we also expect similar operational cash requirements for calendar year 2012 from (i) the continued expansion of the LOGCAP IV contract in Afghanistan, (ii) funding requirements from existing and new joint ventures, (iii) working capital needs of new programs and, (iv) settlements of reserved contingencies. Additionally, our cash requirements can be impacted by significant new contract wins, the win of new task orders on existing programs and delays from our customers in processing our invoices. We expect our non-operational future cash requirements to be impacted by interest and principal payments on the Senior Credit Facility and the Senior Unsecured Notes.

We continue to be audited by the DCAA. Their audits could suspend or disapprove certain costs from time to time which could cause a temporary or permanent delay in our recovery of these costs.

We received a tax refund of $34.1 million in December 2010 and another tax refund of $46.0 million in January 2011 from the IRS from an approved CIAM. The CIAM allowed us to defer revenue associated with certain unbilled receivables for tax purposes until those receivables became billable. Additionally, we have sufficient net operating losses (“NOLs”) and foreign tax credits to offset our taxable income; as such, we did not pay any federal income taxes in calendar year 2011, nor do we expect to pay any federal income taxes in calendar year 2012.

Delta Tucker Holdings, Inc.—For the year ended December 30, 2011

Operating Activities

Cash provided by operations of $168.0 million for the year ended December 30, 2011 benefited from strong collections of receivables during the period as well as the collection of a $46.0 million tax refund resulting from the approved CIAM with the IRS.

Investing Activities

Cash used in investing activities of $3.0 million for the year ended December 30, 2011 was driven by contributions to PaTH, our 40% owned joint venture, as well as purchases of property and equipment and software, partially offset by the return of capital from our GLS and CRS joint ventures.

Financing Activities

Cash used in financing activities of $147.3 million for the year ended December 30, 2011 was primarily driven by three significant prepayments on our Term Loan, in addition to our quarterly principal payments during the year, partially offset by net borrowings related to financed insurance.

Delta Tucker Holdings, Inc.—For the period from April 1, 2010 (inception) through December 31, 2010

Operating Activities

Cash used in operations of $27.1 million for the period from April 1, 2010 (Inception) through December 31, 2010 was impacted by $63.1 million of Merger and Merger-related costs, interest paid of $19.7 million and an increase in working capital, partially offset by $31.7 million from net tax refunds.

Investing Activities

Cash used in investing activities was $878.2 million for the period from April 1, 2010 (Inception) through December 31, 2010. The cash used in investing activities was primarily due to the payment of the Merger consideration, net of cash acquired. In addition, we invested in our technology transformation project which was completed by the end of the calendar year. We also contributed capital consistent with our ownership percentage to GLS in order to provide working capital funding sufficient to allow it to operate without any additional intercompany note funding from us. This working capital infusion by both partners allowed GLS to retire its intercompany note with us.

 

45


Financing Activities

Cash provided by financing activities was $957.8 million for the period from April 1, 2010 (Inception) through December 31, 2010. The cash provided by financing activities was primarily due to issuing new debt, net of repayment of pre-Merger debt, payment of deferred financing fees and borrowings on our revolver.

Predecessor Cash Flows—For the fiscal quarter ended July 2, 2010

Operating Activities

Cash provided by operating activities for the fiscal quarter ended July 2, 2010 was $21.7 million. Cash generated from operations for the fiscal quarter ended July 2, 2010 benefited from favorable timing on our collections and payment activity during the period offset in part by the impact of delayed award fees on the INSCOM contract through our GLS joint venture as well as certain costs paid associated with the Merger.

Investing Activities

Cash used in investing activities was $2.9 million for the fiscal quarter ended July 2, 2010. The cash used was primarily for equipment additions.

Financing Activities

Cash used in financing activities was $5.4 million for the fiscal quarter ended July 2, 2010. The cash used in financing activities during the fiscal quarter ended July 2, 2010 was primarily due to the payments of noncontrolling interests dividends.

Predecessor Cash Flows—For the fiscal year ended April 2, 2010

Operating Activities

Cash flows provided by operating activities for fiscal year ended April 2, 2010 was $90.5 million. Cash generated from operations for fiscal year 2010 benefited from the combination of our continued profitable revenue growth offset by increases in net working capital.

Investing Activities

Cash used in investing activities was $88.9 million for fiscal year ended April 2, 2010 and was primarily due to the acquisitions of Phoenix and Casals and the purchase of helicopter assets.

Financing Activities

Cash used in financing activities was $79.4 million for fiscal year ended April 2, 2010 and was primarily the result of the $23.4 million excess cash flow payment on the senior credit facility, the $24.3 million bond repurchases and $28.1 million in dividend payments to non-controlling interest holders.

In connection with the Merger on July 7, 2010, substantially all of DynCorp International’s debt outstanding as of April 2, 2010 was repaid and replaced with new debt described below. However, $0.6 million of the pre-Merger 9.5% Senior subordinated notes remained outstanding as of December 30, 2011, as the holders opted to retain their investment. Due to principal prepayments made on our Term Loan during calendar year 2011, we have satisfied our responsibility to make quarterly principal payments through July 7, 2016. See Note 6 to the DynCorp International Inc. consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report for further discussion related to the pre-Merger debt.

Senior Credit Facility

In connection with the Merger, DynCorp International Inc., entered into a senior secured credit facility on July 7, 2010 (the “Senior Credit Facility”), with a banking syndicate and Bank of America, NA as Agent.

Our Senior Credit Facility is secured by substantially all of our assets, guaranteed by the Company and substantially all of DynCorp International’s subsidiaries and provides a $570 million term loan facility (“Term Loan”) through July 7, 2016 and a $150 million revolving credit facility (“Revolver”), through July 7, 2014, including a $100 million letter of credit subfacility. As of December 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the balance of our Term Loan was $417.3 million and $568.6 million, respectively, and we had no revolver borrowings under our Revolving Facility. As of December 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the additional available borrowing capacity under the Senior Credit Facility was approximately $109.6 million and $109.0 million, respectively, which gives effect to no Revolver borrowings and our $40.4 million and $41.0 million, respectively, letters of credit. Refer to Note 7 in the Delta Tucker Holdings, Inc. audited consolidated financial statements for additional information related to the Senior Unsecured Notes.

The weighted-average interest rate as of December 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 for our debt was 8.4% and 8.1%, respectively, excluding the impact of deferred financing fees. There were no interest rate hedges in place during the years ended December 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010.

Interest Rates on Term Loan & Revolver

Both the Term Loan and Revolver bear interest at one of two options, based on our election, using either the (i) base rate (“Base Rate”) plus an applicable margin or the (ii) London Interbank Offered Rate (“Eurocurrency Rate”) plus an applicable margin. The applicable margin for the Term Loan is fixed at 3.5% for the Base Rate option or 4.5% for the Eurocurrency Rate option. The applicable margin for the Revolver ranges from 3.0% to 3.5% for the Base Rate option or 4.0% to 4.5% for the Eurocurrency options based on our outstanding Secured Leverage Ratio at the end of each quarter. The Secured Leverage Ratio is calculated by the ratio of total secured consolidated debt (net of up to $50.0 million of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents) to consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, and depreciation & amortization (“Consolidated EBITDA”), as defined in the Senior Credit Facility. Interest payments on both the Term Loan and Revolver are payable at the end of the interest period as defined in the Senior Credit Facility, but not less than quarterly.

The Base Rate is equal to the higher of (a) the Federal Funds Rate plus 1/2 of 1% and (b) the rate of interest in effect for such day as publicly announced from time to time by Bank of America as its prime rate; provided that in no event shall the Base Rate be less than 1.00% plus the Eurocurrency Rate applicable to one month interest periods on the date of determination of the Base Rate. The variable Base Rate has a floor of 2.75%.

 

47


The Eurocurrency Rate is the rate per annum equal to the British Bankers Association London Interbank Offered Rate (“BBA LIBOR”) as published by Reuters (or other commercially available source providing quotations of BBA LIBOR as designated by the Administrative Agent from time to time) two Business Days prior to the commencement of such interest period. The variable Eurocurrency rate has a floor of 1.75%.

As of December 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 the applicable interest rate for our Term Loan was 6.25% and 6.25%, respectively.

Interest Rates on Letter of Credit Subfacility and Unused Commitment Fees

The letter of credit subfacility bears interest at the applicable margin for Eurocurrency Loans, which ranges from 4.0% to 4.5%. The unused commitment fee ranges from 0.50% to 0.75% depending on the Secured Leverage Ratio, as defined in the Senior Credit Facility. Payments on both the letter of credit subfacility and unused commitments are payable quarterly. As of December 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 the applicable interest rates for our letter of credit subfacility and unused commitment fees were 4.50% and 0.75%, respectively, for both periods. All of our letters of credit are also subject to a 0.25% fronting fee.

Principal Payments

Pursuant to our Term Loan facility, during the year ended December 30, 2011, we made quarterly principal payments of $4.0 million for our Senior Credit Facility. Additionally, we made three principal prepayments of $48.6 million, $48.7 million and $50.0 million. Deferred financing costs associated with the prepayments totaled $7.3 million and were expensed and included in Loss on early extinguishment of debt in Delta Tucker Holdings, Inc. audited consolidated Statement of Operations. There were no penalties associated with the prepayment and our quarterly payments. Due to principal prepayments made on our Term Loan during calendar year 2011, we have satisfied our responsibility to make quarterly principal payments through July 7, 2016.

There is an annual excess cash flow requirement, which is defined in the Senior Credit Facility. This excess cash flow requirement begins in calendar year 2012, based on our annual financial results in calendar year 2011, and could result in a potential additional principal payment. Furthermore, certain transactions can trigger mandatory principal payments such as tax refunds, a disposition of a portion of the business or a significant asset sale.

Covenants

The Senior Credit Facility contains financial, as well as non-financial, affirmative and negative covenants. The negative covenants in the Senior Credit Facility include, among other things, limits on our ability to:

 

   

declare dividends and make other distributions;

 

   

redeem or repurchase our capital stock;

 

   

prepay, redeem or repurchase certain of our indebtedness;

 

   

grant liens;

 

   

make loans or investments (including acquisitions);

 

   

incur additional indebtedness;

 

   

modify the terms of certain debt;

 

   

restrict dividends from our subsidiaries;

 

   

change our business or business of our subsidiaries;

 

   

merge or enter into acquisitions;

 

   

sell our assets;

 

   

enter into transactions with our affiliates; and

 

   

make capital expenditures.

In addition, the Senior Credit Facility stipulates a maximum total leverage ratio as defined in the Senior Credit Facility, and minimum interest coverage ratio as defined in the Senior Credit Facility, that we may maintain at the end of each quarter.

 

48


The total leverage ratio is the Consolidated Total Debt as defined in the Senior Credit Facility, less unrestricted cash and cash equivalents (up to $50 million) to Consolidated EBITDA as defined in the Senior Credit Facility, for the applicable period. Our total leverage ratio cannot be greater than 5.5 to 1.0 for the period ending December 30, 2011. Beginning June 2012, the maximum total leverage diminishes quarterly or semi-annually.

The interest coverage ratio is the ratio of Consolidated EBITDA to Consolidated Interest Expense as defined in the Senior Credit Facility. The interest coverage ratio must not be less than 1.7 to 1.0 for the period ending December 30, 2011. Beginning June 2012 the minimum total interest coverage ratio increases quarterly or semi annually thereafter.

On August 10, 2011, DynCorp International Inc. entered into an agreement to amend the Senior Credit Facility (the “Amendment”). The Amendment re-set leverage and interest covenant levels. Under the terms of the Amendment, the maximum total leverage ratio steps up to 5.50x through the period ending June 29, 2012 and steps down to 3.25x over time, the amount of unrestricted cash permitted to be netted from the calculation of the total leverage ratio increased from $25.0 million to $50.0 million, and the minimum interest coverage ratio is 1.70x through the period ending June 29, 2012 and steps up to 2.25x over time.

In the event we fail to comply with the covenants specified in the Senior Credit Facility and the Indenture governing our Senior Unsecured Notes, we may be in default. As of December 31, 2010 and December 30, 2011, the Company was in compliance with all of its debt agreements. See Note 15—Subsequent Events included elsewhere in this Annual Report for further discussion.

Senior Unsecured Notes

In connection with the Merger, DynCorp International issued $455.0 million of Senior Unsecured Notes with a 10.375% interest rate. This indenture runs from July 7, 2010 through July 1, 2017, with the entire principal balance due on July 1, 2017. The interest payments are payable semi-annually on January 1st and July 1st. The first interest payment was made January 2011.

The new Senior Unsecured Notes contain various covenants that restrict our ability to:

 

   

incur additional indebtedness;

 

   

make certain payments including declaring or paying certain dividends;

 

   

purchase or retire certain equity interests;

 

   

retire subordinated indebtedness;

 

   

make certain investments;

 

   

sell assets;

 

   

engage in certain transactions with affiliates;

 

   

create liens on assets;

 

   

make acquisitions; and

 

   

engage in mergers or consolidations.

The aforementioned restrictions are considered to be in place unless we achieve investment grade ratings from both Moody’s Investor Service, Inc. as well as Standard Poor’s Rating Service.

We can redeem the new Senior Unsecured Notes, in whole or in part, at defined call prices, plus accrued interest through the redemption date. The Indenture Agreement requires us to repurchase the new Senior Unsecured Notes at defined prices in the event of certain specified triggering events including certain asset sales and change of control events.

We or our affiliates may, from time to time, purchase our Senior Unsecured Notes. Any such future purchases may be made through open market or privately negotiated transactions with third parties or pursuant to one or more tender or exchange offers or otherwise, upon such terms and at such prices as we or any such affiliates may determine.

In addition to the Senior Credit Facility and Senior Unsecured Notes, $0.6 million of our pre-Merger 9.5% senior subordinated notes remained outstanding as of December 30, 2011.

Non-GAAP Measures

We define EBITDA as GAAP net income attributable to Delta Tucker Holdings, Inc./Predecessor adjusted for interest expense, taxes and depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated by adjusting EBITDA for the items described in the table below. We use EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as supplemental measures in the evaluation of our business and believe that EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA provide a meaningful measure of operational performance on a consolidated basis because it eliminates the effects of period to period changes in taxes, costs associated with capital investments and interest expense and is consistent with one of the measures we use to evaluate management’s performance for incentive compensation. We also believe that Adjusted EBITDA is useful in assessing our ability to generate cash to cover our debt obligations including interest and principal payments. As such, we add back certain non-cash items from operations and certain other items as defined in our 10.375% Senior Unsecured Notes and our Credit Facility. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA as presented in the table below corresponds to the definition of Consolidated EBITDA used in the Senior Secured Credit Facilities and the definition of EBITDA used in the Indenture governing the Senior Unsecured Notes to test the permissibility of certain types of transactions, including debt incurrence. Neither EBITDA nor Adjusted EBITDA is a financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP. Accordingly, they should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes for net income attributable to Delta Tucker Holdings, Inc./Predecessor or other financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures are useful in evaluating operating performance and are regularly used by security analysts, institutional investors and other interested parties in reviewing the Company. Non-GAAP financial measures are not intended to be a substitute for any GAAP financial measure and, as calculated, may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of the performance of other companies. When evaluating EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, investors should consider, among other factors, (i) increasing or decreasing trends in EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, (ii) whether EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA have remained at positive levels historically, and (iii) how EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA compare to our debt outstanding. The non-GAAP measures of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do have

 

50


certain limitations. They do not include interest expense, which is a necessary and ongoing part of our cost structure resulting from the incurrence of debt. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA also exclude tax, depreciation and amortization expenses. Because these are material and recurring items, any measure, including EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, which excludes them has a material limitation. To mitigate these limitations, we have policies and procedures in place to identify expenses that qualify as interest, taxes, loss on debt extinguishments, a portion of other expense related to interest rate swap losses, and depreciation and amortization and to approve and segregate these expenses from other expenses to ensure that EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are consistently reflected from period to period. Our calculation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may vary from that of other companies. Therefore, our EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA presented may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not give effect to the cash we must use to service our debt or pay income taxes and thus does not reflect the funds generated from operations or actually available for capital investments.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of December 30, 2011, we did not have any material off-balance sheet arrangements as defined under SEC rules.

Effects of Inflation

We have generally been able to anticipate increases in costs when pricing our contracts. Bids for longer-term fixed-price and time-and-materials type contracts typically include sufficient labor and other cost escalations in amounts expected to cover cost increases over the period of performance. A significant amount of our contracts are cost reimbursable type contracts which consequently, eliminates the impact of inflation. Costs and revenue include an inflationary increase which is commensurate with the general economy in which we operate, as such net income attributable to Delta Tucker Holdings, Inc. has not been materially impacted by inflation.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The process of preparing financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the use of estimates and assumptions to determine reported amounts of certain assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses and the disclosure of related contingent assets and liabilities. These estimates and assumptions are based upon information available at the time of the estimates or assumptions, including our historical experience, where relevant. These significant estimates and assumptions are reviewed quarterly by management. This evaluation process includes a thorough review of key estimates and assumptions used in preparing our financial statements. Because of the uncertainty of factors surrounding the estimates, assumptions and judgments used in the preparation of our financial statements, actual results may differ from the estimates, and the difference may be material.

Our critical accounting policies and estimates are those policies and estimates that are both most important to our financial condition and results of operations and require the most difficult, subjective or complex judgments on the part of management in their application, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. For a summary of all of our significant accounting policies, see Note 1 to the Delta Tucker Holdings, Inc. consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report. Management has discussed our critical accounting policies and estimates with the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors.

Revenue Recognition and Cost Estimation on Long-Term Contracts

General—We are predominantly a services provider and only include products or systems when necessary for the execution of the service arrangement, and as such, systems, equipment or materials are not generally separable from services. Revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, services or products have been provided to the customer, the sales price is fixed or determinable (for non-U.S. government contracts) or costs are identifiable, determinable, reasonable and allowable (for our U.S. government contracts), and collectability is reasonably assured (for non-U.S. government contracts) or a reasonable contractual basis for recovery exists (for U.S. government contracts). Our contracts typically fall into four categories with the first representing substantially all of our revenue. The categories are federal government contracts, construction-type contracts, software contracts and other contracts. We apply the appropriate guidance consistently to similar contracts.

Major factors we consider in determining total estimated revenue and cost include the base contract price, contract options, change orders (modifications of the original contract), back charges and claims, and contract provisions for penalties, award fees and performance incentives. All of these factors and other special contract provisions are evaluated throughout the life of our contracts when estimating total contract revenue under the percentage-of-completion or proportional methods of accounting. We inherently have risks as it relates to our estimates with long term contracts. Actual amounts could differ from these estimates and could differ materially. We believe the following are inherent to the risk of estimation: (a) assumptions are uncertain and inherently judgmental at the time of the estimate; (b) use of reasonably different assumptions could have changed our estimates, particularly with respect to estimates of contract revenues and costs, and recoverability of assets, and (c) changes in the estimate could have a material effect on our financial condition or results of operations. The impact of all of these factors could contribute to a material cumulative adjustment.

For U.S. government contracts containing award fees, we accrue these fees when we can make reasonably determinable estimates of award fees to consider them in determining total estimated contract revenue. We do not consider the mere existence of potential award fees as presumptive evidence that award fees are to be automatically included in determining total estimated revenue. In some cases, we may not be able to reliably predict whether performance targets will be met and, consequently we exclude the award fees from the determination of total revenue in such instances. Our accrual of award fees may require adjustments from time to time.

 

52


We expense pre-contract costs as incurred for an anticipated contract until the contract is awarded. Throughout the life of the contract, indirect costs, including general and administrative costs, are expensed as incurred. Management regularly reviews project profitability and underlying estimates, including total cost to complete a project. For each project, estimates for total project costs are based on such factors as a project’s contractual requirements and management’s assessment of current and future pricing, economic conditions, political conditions and site conditions. Estimates can be impacted by such factors as additional requirements from our customers, a change in labor markets impacting the availability or price of a skilled workforce, regulatory changes both domestically and internationally, political unrest, or security issues at project locations. Revisions to estimates are reflected in results of operations as a change in accounting estimate in the period in which the facts that give rise to the revision become known by management.

We believe long-term contracts, contracts in a loss position and contracts with material award fees drive the significant potential changes in estimates in our contracts. These estimates are reviewed and assessed quarterly and could result in favorable or unfavorable adjustments.

Federal Government Contracts — For all non-construction and non-software U.S. federal government contracts or contract elements, we apply the guidance in ASC 912—Contractors—Federal Government. We apply the combination and segmentation guidance in ASC 605-35 Revenue—Construction-Type and Production-Type Contracts, under the guidance of ASC 912, in analyzing the deliverables contained in the applicable contract to determine appropriate profit centers. Revenue is recognized by profit center using the percentage-of-completion method or completed contract method. The completed contract method is sometimes used when reliable estimates cannot be supported for percentage-of-completion method recognition or for short duration projects when the results of operations would not vary materially from those resulting from use of the percentage-of-completion method. Until complete, project costs may be maintained in work-in-progress, a component of inventory.

Projects under our U.S. federal government contracts typically have different pricing mechanisms that influence how revenue is earned and recognized. These pricing mechanisms are classified as cost-plus-fixed-fee, fixed-price, cost-plus-award-fee or time-and-materials (including unit-price/level-of-effort contracts). Any of these contract types can be executed under an IDIQ contract, which does not represent a firm order for services. As a result, the exact timing and quantity of delivery and pricing mechanism for IDIQ profit centers are generally not known at the time of contract award, but they can contain any type of pricing mechanism.

Revenue on projects with a fixed-price or fixed-fee, including award fees, is recognized based on progress towards completion over the contract period, measured by either output or input methods appropriate to the services or products provided. For example, “output measures” can include period of service, such as for aircraft fleet maintenance, and units delivered or produced, such as aircraft for which modification has been completed. “Input measures” can include a cost-to-cost method, such as for procurement-related services.

Revenue on time-and-materials projects is recognized at contractual billing rates for applicable units of measure (e.g. labor hours incurred, units delivered). Revenue related to our unconsolidated joint ventures, where a shared service agreement exists, is recognized equal to the costs incurred to provide these services.

Construction Contracts or Contract Elements — For all construction contracts or contract elements, revenue is recognized by profit center using the percentage-of-completion method.

Software Contracts or Contract Elements — It is our policy to review any arrangement containing software or software deliverables using applicable GAAP for software revenue recognition, as discussed further in Note 1 to the Delta Tucker Holdings, Inc. consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report . We have not historically sold software on a separate, standalone basis. As a result, software arrangements are typically accounted for as one unit of accounting and are recognized over the service period, including the period of post-contract customer support. We had no new software contracts or contracts with software elements in 2011 or 2010.

Other Contracts or Contract Elements — Our contracts with non-federal government customers are predominantly service arrangements. Multiple-element arrangements involve multiple obligations in various combinations to perform services, deliver equipment or materials, grant licenses or other rights, or take certain actions. We evaluate all deliverables in an arrangement to determine whether they represent separate units of accounting and arrangement consideration is allocated among the separate units of accounting based on the guidance applicable for the multiple-element arrangement. Many of our arrangements were entered into prior to January 1, 2011. For these arrangements, arrangement considerations are allocated to those identified as multiple-element arrangements based on their relative fair values. Fair values are established by evaluating vendor specific objective evidence (“VSOE”) or third-party evidence if available. Due to the customized nature of our arrangements, VSOE and third-party evidence is generally not available resulting in applicable arrangements being accounted for as one unit of accounting. For arrangements that are entered into or materially modified after January 1, 2011, arrangement considerations are allocated to those identified as multiple-element arrangements based on relative selling price. Relative selling price is established through VSOE, third-party evidence, or management’s best estimate of selling price. Due to the customized nature of our arrangements, VSOE and third-party evidence is generally not available, and therefore, relative selling price is generally allocated to multiple-element arrangements utilizing management’s best estimate of selling price.

 

53


Deferred Taxes, Tax Valuation Allowances and Tax Reserves

Our income tax expense, deferred tax assets and liabilities and reserves for uncertain tax positions reflect management’s best estimate of future taxes to be paid. We are subject to income taxes in both the U.S. and numerous foreign jurisdictions. Significant judgments and estimates are required in determining the consolidated income tax expense. Income tax expense is the amount of tax payable for the period plus or minus the change in deferred tax assets and liabilities during the period.

Deferred income taxes arise from temporary differences between the tax and financial statement recognition of revenue and expense. In evaluating our ability to recover our deferred tax assets, we consider all available positive and negative evidence, including scheduled reversals of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, tax planning strategies and recent financial operations. In projecting future taxable income, we develop assumptions including the amount of future state, federal and foreign pretax operating income, the reversal of temporary differences, and the implementation of feasible and prudent tax planning strategies. These assumptions require significant judgment about the forecasts of future taxable income and are consistent with the plans and estimates we are using to manage the underlying businesses.

In evaluating the realizability of our deferred tax assets, we assess the need for any related valuation allowances or adjust the amount of any allowances, if necessary. Valuation allowances are recognized to reduce the carrying value of deferred tax assets to amounts that we expect are more-likely-than-not to be realized. Valuation allowances, if any, would primarily relate to the deferred tax assets established for certain tax credit carryforwards and net operating loss carryforwards for U.S. and non-U.S. subsidiaries. We assess such factors as our forecast of future taxable income and available tax planning strategies that could be implemented to realize the net deferred tax assets in determining the need for or sufficiency of a valuation allowance. Failure to achieve forecasted taxable income in the applicable tax jurisdictions could affect the ultimate realization of deferred tax assets and could result in an increase in our effective tax rate on future earnings. Implementation of different tax structures in certain jurisdictions could also impact the need for certain valuation allowances.

The amount of income taxes we pay is subject to ongoing audits by federal, state and foreign tax authorities, which often result in potential assessments. Significant judgment is required in determining income tax provisions and evaluating tax positions. We establish reserves for open tax years for uncertain tax positions that may be subject to challenge by various tax authorities. The consolidated tax provision and related accruals include the impact of such reasonably estimable losses and related interest and penalties as deemed appropriate.

Under ASC 740, we may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more-likely-than-not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities. The determination is based on the technical merits of the position and presumes that each uncertain tax position will be examined by the relevant taxing authority that has full knowledge of all relevant information.

ASC 740 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties on income taxes, accounting in interim periods and requires increased disclosures.

We believe we have adequately provided for any reasonably foreseeable outcome related to these matters, and our future results may include favorable or unfavorable adjustments to our estimated tax liabilities. To the extent that the expected tax outcome of these matters changes, such changes in estimate will impact the income tax provision in the period in which such determination is made.

Impairment of Goodwill

As a result of the Company applying acquisition accounting related to the Merger on July 7, 2010, our balance sheet included $679.4 million in goodwill as of December 31, 2010, which represented the excess of costs over the fair value of our assets. As of December 30, 2011, the Company recorded a non-cash impairment charge of $33.8 million which reduced the goodwill balance to $645.6 million. The goodwill carrying value is allocated to our operating segments using a relative fair value approach based on our nine reporting units. Of the nine reporting units, eight are consolidated in our financial statements, while GLS was deconsolidated as of the Merger date. All of our reporting units were allocated goodwill based on relative fair values as required under ASC 350—Intangibles—Goodwill and Other, all of which had estimated fair values that substantially exceeded their carrying values.

In accordance with ASC 350-20—Intangibles—Goodwill, we evaluate goodwill for impairment annually and when an event occurs or circumstances change to suggest that the carrying value may not be recoverable. We performed our annual goodwill impairment test as of October 2011, the first month of the fourth quarter of our calendar year. We also assess goodwill at the end of a quarter if a triggering event occurs. In determining whether an interim triggering event has occurred, management monitors (i) the actual performance of the business relative to the fair value assumptions used during our annual goodwill impairment test, (ii) and significant changes to future expectations.

 

54


We estimate a portion of the fair value of our reporting units under the income approach by utilizing a discounted cash flow model based on several factors including balance sheet carrying values, historical results, our most recent forecasts, and other relevant quantitative and qualitative information. We discount the related cash flow forecasts using the weighted-average cost of capital at the date of evaluation. We also use the market approach to estimate the remaining portion of our reporting unit valuation. This technique utilizes comparative market multiples in the valuation estimate. We have historically applied a 50%/50% weighting to each approach. While the income approach has the advantage of utilizing more company specific information, the market approach has the advantage of capturing market based transaction pricing.

Preparation of forecasts and the selection of the discount rate involve significant judgments that we base primarily on existing firm orders, expected future orders, and general market conditions. Significant changes in these forecasts, the discount rate selected, or the weighting of the income and market approach could affect the estimated fair value of one or more of our reporting units and could result in a goodwill impairment charge in a future period.

The goodwill for each reporting unit is tested using a two-step process. A reporting unit is an operating segment or a component of an operating segment, as defined by ASC 350-20—Intangibles—Goodwill. A component of an operating segment is a reporting unit if the component constitutes a business for which discrete financial information is available and is reviewed by operating segment management. The first step in the process of testing goodwill for potential impairment is to compare the carrying value of the reporting unit to its fair value. If upon completion of the analysis, the carrying value exceeds the fair value, the second step is to measure the impairment loss by comparing the implied fair value of goodwill with the carrying value of goodwill of the reporting unit. Our methodology for determining the fair value of a reporting unit is estimated using the income approach and the market approach. Under the income approach, we utilize a discounted cash flow method that is dependent on estimates of future sales, operating income, depreciation and amortization, income tax payments, working capital changes and capital expenditures. Under the market approach, we utilize comparative market multiples in the valuation estimate. We weighed the estimates developed under each approach equally in determining the estimated fair value of each reporting unit. Inherent to each of these assumptions is the uncertainty of economic conditions related to the industries in which we operate (predominantly the U.S. defense industry) and conditions in the U.S. capital markets.

We apply a disclosure threshold to monitor any reporting units with a fair value within 10% of its carrying value. We evaluate goodwill for impairment annually or when an event occurs or circumstances change to suggest that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Our annual impairment testing date is the first month of the fourth quarter of each fiscal year.

In conjunction with the test performed in October 2011, we determined that the carrying value of the goodwill associated with two reporting units within the GSDS reporting segment exceeded the fair value due to a decline in the projected future cash flows. We recorded a non-cash impairment charge of $33.8 million for the year ended December 30, 2011. See Note 3 to the Delta Tucker Holdings, Inc. audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report for further discussion.

ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

We are subject to market risk, primarily relating to potential losses arising from adverse changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. For a further discussion of market risks we may encounter, see “Item 1A. Risk Factors.”

Interest Rate Risk

We have interest rate risk relating to changes in interest rates primarily on our variable rate debt. We manage our exposure to movements in interest rates through the use of a combination of fixed and variable rate debt. As of December 30, 2011, we had 52.2% of our debt as fixed rate and 47.8% variable. Our 10.375% senior notes and our 9.5% senior subordinated notes represented our fixed rate debt, which totaled $455.6 million as of December 30, 2011. Our Term Loan and Revolving Facility represent our variable rate debt. As of December 30, 2011, the balance of our Term Loan was $417.3 million, and we had no revolver borrowings under our Revolving Facility. Borrowings under our variable rate debt bear interest, based on our option, at a rate per annum equal to LIBOR, plus the Applicable Margin or the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin. Both the Term Loan and the Revolving Facility have an interest rate floor of 1.75% for LIBOR borrowings and 2.75% for Base Rate borrowings. The Term Loan interest rate at December 30, 2011 was made up of a 4.50% Applicable Margin plus a 1.75% LIBOR rate totaling 6.25%. If LIBOR increases over 1.75% and we continued to have no Revolver outstanding loans, each 25 basis point increase would result in $1.0 million annually in additional interest expense.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk

We are exposed to changes in foreign currency rates. At present, we do not utilize any derivative instruments to manage risk associated with foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. The functional currency of certain foreign operations is the local currency. Accordingly, these foreign entities translate assets and liabilities from their local currencies to U.S. dollars using year-end exchange rates, while income and expense accounts are translated at the average rates in effect during the year. The resulting translation adjustment is recorded as accumulated other comprehensive income/(loss). Our foreign currency transactions were not material for the year ended December 30, 2011.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Stockholder of

Delta Tucker Holdings, Inc.

Falls Church, Virginia

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Delta Tucker Holdings, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, and the related consolidated statements of operations, equity, and cash flows for the year ended December 30, 2011 and the period from April 1, 2010 (date of inception) through December 31, 2010. Our audits also included the financial statement schedules listed in the Index at Item 8. These financial statements and financial statement schedules are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial statements and financial statement schedules based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Delta Tucker Holdings, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the year ended December 30, 2011 and the period from April 1, 2010 (date of inception) through December 31, 2010, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also, in our opinion, such financial statement schedules, when considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, present fairly in all material respects the information set forth therein.

DELTA TUCKER HOLDINGS, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the year ended December 30, 2011 and For the Period From April 1, 2010 (Inception) Through December 31, 2010

Note 1 — Significant Accounting Policies and Accounting Developments

Unless the context otherwise indicates, references herein to “we,” “our,” “us,” or “the Company” refer to Delta Tucker Holdings, Inc. and our consolidated subsidiaries. The Company was incorporated in the state of Delaware on April 1, 2010. On July 7, 2010, DynCorp International Inc. (“DynCorp International”), completed a merger with Delta Tucker Sub, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. Pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of April 11, 2010, Delta Tucker Sub, Inc. merged with and into DynCorp International, with DynCorp International becoming the surviving corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Merger”). Holders of DynCorp International’s stock received $17.55 in cash for each outstanding share and since Cerberus indirectly owns all of our outstanding equity, DynCorp International’s stock is no longer publicly traded as of the Merger.

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared, pursuant to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).

Fiscal Year

We report the results of our operations using a 52-53 week basis. The Company’s fiscal year is comprised of twelve consecutive fiscal months ending on the Friday closest to December 31. These financial statements reflect our financial results for the year ended December 30, 2011, referred to as “calendar year 2011” and for the period from April 1, 2010 (Inception) through December 31, 2010, referred to as “calendar year 2010” and “inception year” throughout the financial statements.

DynCorp International’s historic fiscal year presentation was comprised of twelve consecutive fiscal months ended on the Friday closest to March 31 of each year. DynCorp International’s last completed fiscal year, prior to the merger on July 7, 2010, ended on April 2, 2010 (“fiscal year 2010”). The three month period, prior to the merger on July 7, 2010, ended July 2, 2010 is referred to as the “first quarter of fiscal year 2011.” The financial statements of Delta Tucker Holdings, Inc. include stub period (July 3 through July 7, 2010) activity related to DynCorp International. We evaluated the transactions during the stub period and concluded that they were immaterial and did not warrant separate presentation.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of both our domestic and foreign subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company has investments in joint ventures that are variable interest entities (“VIEs”). The VIE investments are accounted for in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Codification (“ASC”) ASC 810 — Consolidation. In cases where the Company has (i) the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact its economic performance and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE that could potentially be significant or the right to receive benefits from the entity that could potentially be significant to the VIE, the Company consolidates the entity. Alternatively, in cases where all of the aforementioned criteria are not met, the investment is accounted for under the equity method.

The Company classifies its equity method investees in two distinct groups based on management’s day-to-day involvement in the operations of each entity and the nature of each joint venture’s business. If the joint venture is deemed to be an extension of one of our Business Area Teams (“BATs”), and operationally integral to the business, our share of the joint venture’s earnings is reported within operating income in Earnings from equity method investees in the consolidated statement of operations. If the Company considers our involvement less significant, the share of the joint venture’s net earnings is reported in Other income, net in the consolidated statement of operations.

Economic rights in active joint ventures that are operationally integral are indicated by the ownership percentages in the table listed below.

 

Partnership for Temporary Housing LLC (“PaTH”)

     40%   

Contingency Response Services LLC (“CRS”)

     45%   

Global Response Services LLC (“GRS”)

     51%   

Mission Readiness LLC

     36%   

Global Linguist Solutions LLC (“GLS”)

     51%   

 

63


Economic rights in an active joint venture that the Company does not consider operationally integral are indicated by the ownership percentage in the table listed below.

 

Babcock DynCorp Limited

     44 %   

Global Linguist Solutions Deconsolidation

After the implementation of Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2009—17, Improvements to Financial Reporting by Enterprises Involved with Variable Interest Entities, through the date of the Merger, DynCorp International continued to consolidate GLS based on the related party relationship between DynCorp International and McNeil Technologies Inc. (“McNeil”), our GLS joint venture partner. Through the date of the Merger, DynCorp International’s largest stockholder, Veritas Capital LP (“Veritas”), owned McNeil. This related party relationship ended on the date of Merger resulting in the deconsolidation of GLS on that date and we now share the power with McNeil to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of GLS.

While we do not have control over the performance of GLS, our senior management, including our chief executive officer, who is our chief operating decision maker, regularly reviews GLS operating results and metrics to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess performance, thus GLS is classified as an operating segment. See Note 11 and Note 12 for further discussion on our GLS operating segment.

Noncontrolling Interest

We record the impact of our partner’s interest in consolidated joint ventures as noncontrolling interest. Currently DynCorp International FZ-LLC (“DIFZ”) is our only consolidated joint venture. Noncontrolling interest is presented on the face of the statement of operations as an increase or reduction in arriving at Net income attributable to Delta Tucker Holdings, Inc. Noncontrolling interest on the balance sheet is located in the equity section. See Note 12 for further information regarding DIFZ.

Revenue Recognition and Cost Estimation on Long-Term Contracts

General — We are predominantly a services provider and only include products or systems when necessary for the execution of the service arrangement, and as such, systems, equipment or materials are not generally separable from services. Revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, services or products have been provided to the customer, the sales price is fixed or determinable (for non-U.S. government contracts) or costs are identifiable, determinable, reasonable and allowable (for our U.S. government contracts), and collectibility is reasonably assured (for non-U.S. government contracts) or a reasonable contractual basis for recovery exists (for U.S. government contracts). Our contracts typically fall into four categories with the first representing substantially all of our revenue. The categories are federal government contracts, construction-type contracts, software contracts and other contracts. We apply the appropriate guidance consistently to similar contracts.

We consider many factors in determining total estimated revenue and cost including the base contract price, contract options, change orders (modifications of the original contract), back charges and claims, and contract provisions for penalties, award fees and performance incentives. All of these factors and other special contract provisions are evaluated throughout the life of our contracts when estimating total contract revenue under the percentage-of-completion or proportional performance methods of accounting. We inherently have risks as it relates to our estimates with long term contracts. Actual amounts could differ from these estimates and could differ materially. We believe the following are inherent to the risk of estimation: (a) assumptions are uncertain and inherently judgmental at the time of the estimate; (b) use of reasonably different assumptions could have changed our estimates, particularly with respect to estimates of contract revenues and costs, and recoverability of assets, and (c) changes in the estimate could have a material effect on our financial condition or results of operations. The impact of all of these factors could contribute to a material cumulative adjustment.

For contracts containing award fees, we accrue these fees when we can make reasonably determinable estimates of award fees to consider them in determining total estimated contract revenue. We do not consider the mere existence of potential award fees as presumptive evidence that award fees are to be included in determining total estimated revenue. In some cases, we may not be able to reliably predict whether performance targets will be met and, consequently we exclude the award fees from the determination of total revenue in such instances. Our accrual of award fees may require adjustments from time to time. We continue to monitor our estimates around all contract performance.

We expense pre-contract costs as incurred for an anticipated contract until the contract is awarded. Throughout the life of the contract, indirect costs, including general and administrative costs, are expensed as incurred. Management regularly reviews project profitability and underlying estimates, including total cost to complete a project. For each project, estimates for total project costs are based on such factors as a project’s contractual requirements and management’s assessment of current and future pricing, economic conditions, political conditions and site conditions. Estimates can be impacted by such factors as additional requirements from our customers, a change in labor markets impacting the availability or price of a skilled workforce, regulatory changes both domestically and internationally, political unrest, or security issues at project locations. Revisions to estimates are reflected in results of operations as a change in accounting estimate in the period in which the facts that give rise to the revision become known by management.

We believe long-term contracts, contracts in a loss position and contracts with material award fees drive the significant potential changes in estimates in our contracts. These estimates are reviewed and assessed quarterly and could result in favorable or unfavorable adjustments.

Federal Government Contracts — For all non-construction and non-software U.S. federal government contracts or contract elements, we apply the guidance in ASC 912—Contractors—Federal Government. We apply the combination and segmentation guidance in ASC 605-35 Revenue—Construction-Type and Production-Type Contracts, under the guidance of ASC 912, in analyzing the deliverables contained in the applicable contract to determine appropriate profit centers. Revenue is recognized by profit center using the percentage-of-completion method or completed contract method. The completed contract method is sometimes used when reliable estimates cannot be supported for percentage-of-completion method recognition or for short duration projects when the results of operations would not vary materially from those resulting from use of the percentage-of-completion method. Until complete, project costs may be maintained in work-in-progress, a component of inventory.

Projects under our U.S. federal government contracts typically have different pricing mechanisms that influence how revenue is earned and recognized. These pricing mechanisms are classified as cost-plus-fixed-fee, fixed-price, cost-plus-award-fee or time-and-materials (including unit-price/level-of-effort contracts). Any of these contract types can be executed under an IDIQ contract, which does not represent a firm order for services. As a result, the exact timing and quantity of delivery and pricing mechanism for IDIQ profit centers are generally not known at the time of contract award, but they can contain any type of pricing mechanism.

Revenue on projects with a fixed-price or fixed-fee, including award fees, is recognized based on progress towards completion over the contract period, measured by either output or input methods appropriate to the services or products provided. For example, “output measures” can include period of service, such as for aircraft fleet maintenance, and units delivered or produced, such as aircraft for which modification has been completed. “Input measures” can include a cost-to-cost method, such as for procurement-related services.

Revenue on time-and-materials projects is recognized at contractual billing rates for applicable units of measure (e.g. labor hours incurred, units delivered). Revenue related to our unconsolidated joint ventures, where a shared service agreement exists, is recognized equal to the costs incurred to provide these services.

Construction Contracts or Contract Elements — For all construction contracts or contract elements, revenue is recognized by profit center using the percentage-of-completion method.

Software Contracts or Contract Elements — It is our policy to review any arrangement containing software or software deliverables using applicable GAAP for software revenue recognition. We have not historically sold software on a separate, standalone basis. As a result, software arrangements are typically accounted for as one unit of accounting and are recognized over the service period, including the period of post-contract customer support. We had no new software contracts or contracts with software elements in 2011 or 2010.

Other Contracts or Contract Elements — Our contracts with non-federal government customers are predominantly service arrangements. Multiple-element arrangements involve multiple obligations in various combinations to perform services, deliver equipment or materials, grant licenses or other rights, or take certain actions. We evaluate all deliverables in an arrangement to determine whether they represent separate units of accounting and arrangement consideration is allocated among the separate units of accounting based on the guidance applicable for the multiple-element arrangement. Many of our arrangements were entered into prior to January 1, 2011. For these arrangements, arrangement considerations are allocated to those identified as multiple-element arrangements based on their relative fair values. Fair values are established by evaluating vendor specific objective evidence (“VSOE”) or third-party evidence if available. Due to the customized nature of our arrangements, VSOE and third-party evidence is generally not available resulting in applicable arrangements being accounted for as one unit of accounting. For arrangements that are entered into or materially modified after January 1, 2011, arrangement considerations are allocated to those identified as multiple-element arrangements based on relative selling price. Relative selling price is established through VSOE, third-party evidence, or management’s best estimate of selling price. Due to the customized nature of our arrangements, VSOE and third-party evidence is generally not available and therefore, relative selling price is generally allocated to multiple-element arrangements utilizing management’s best estimate of selling price.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

For purposes of reporting cash and cash equivalents, we consider all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Restricted Cash

Restricted cash represents cash restricted by certain contracts and available for use to pay specified costs and vendors on work performed on specific contracts. On some contracts, advance payments are not available for use and cash is to be disbursed for specified costs for work performed on the specific contract. Changes in restricted cash related to our contracts are included as operating activities.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Management evaluates these estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis, including but not limited to, those relating to allowances for doubtful accounts, fair value and impairment of intangible assets and goodwill, income taxes, profitability on contracts, anticipated contract modifications, contingencies and litigation. Actual results could differ from those estimates. See our discussion above in the Revenue Recognition and Cost Estimation on Long-Term Contracts for further discussion regarding our estimate process and recognition of award fees.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

We establish an allowance for doubtful accounts against specific billed receivables based upon the latest information available to determine whether invoices are ultimately collectible. Such information includes the historical trends of write-offs and recovery of previously written-off accounts, the financial strength of the respective customer and projected economic and market conditions. The evaluation of these factors involves subjective judgments and changes in these factors may cause an increase to our estimated allowance for doubtful accounts, which could significantly impact our consolidated financial statements by incurring bad debt expense. Given that we primarily serve the U.S. government, we believe the risk is low that changes in our allowance for doubtful accounts would have a material impact on our financial results.

Property and Equipment

The cost of property and equipment, less applicable residual values, is depreciated using the straight-line method. Depreciation commences when the specific asset is complete, installed and ready for normal use. Depreciation related to equipment purchased for specific contracts is typically included within Cost of services, as this depreciation is directly attributable to project costs. We evaluate property and equipment for impairment quarterly by examining factors such as existence, functionality, obsolescence and physical condition. In the event that we experience impairment, we revise the useful life estimate and record the impairment as an addition to depreciation expense and accumulated depreciation. Our standard depreciation and amortization policies are as follows:

 

Computer and related equipment

   3 to 5 years

Furniture and other equipment

   2 to 10 years

Leasehold improvements

   Shorter of lease term or useful life

Impairment of Long Lived Assets

Our long lived assets are primarily made up of customer related intangibles. The initial values assigned to customer-related intangibles were the result of fair value calculations associated with business combinations. The values were determined based on estimates and judgments regarding expectations for the estimated future after-tax cash flows from those assets over their lives, including the probability of expected future contract renewals and sales, less a cost-of-capital charge, all of which was discounted to present value. We evaluate the carrying value of our customer-related intangibles whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. The customer related intangible carrying value is considered impaired when the anticipated undiscounted cash flows from such asset is less than its carrying value. In that case, a loss is recognized based on the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value.

 

66


Indefinite-Lived Assets

Indefinite-lived assets, including goodwill and indefinite-lived tradename, are not amortized but are subject to an annual impairment test. The first step of the goodwill impairment test compares the fair value of each of our reporting units with its carrying amount, including indefinite-lived assets. If the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, the indefinite-lived assets of the reporting unit are not considered impaired, and the second step of the impairment test is unnecessary. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the second step of the goodwill impairment test is performed to measure the amount of the impairment loss, if any. We evaluate goodwill for impairment annually in the first month of the fourth quarter of each fiscal year and when an event occurs or circumstances change to suggest that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Our performance of the goodwill impairment test determined that the carrying value of the goodwill associated two reporting units within our GSDS reporting segment exceeded the fair value. As a result, we recorded an impairment charge of $33.8 million for the year ended December 30, 2011. See Note 3 for further discussion.

Income Taxes

We file income, franchise, gross receipts and similar tax returns in many jurisdictions. Our tax returns are subject to audit by the Internal Revenue Service, most states in the U.S., and by various government agencies representing many jurisdictions outside the U.S.

We use the asset and liability approach for financial accounting and reporting for income taxes in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Codification. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed annually for differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Income tax expense is made up of current expense which includes both permanent and temporary differences and deferred expense which only includes temporary differences. Income tax expense is the amount of tax payable for the period plus or minus the change in deferred tax assets and liabilities during the period.

We make a comprehensive review of our portfolio of uncertain tax positions regularly. The accounting for uncertainty in income taxes requires a more-likely-than-not threshold for financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. A liability is recorded when a benefit is recognized for a tax position and it is not more-likely-than-not that the position will be sustained on its technical merits or where the position is more-likely-than-not that it will be sustained on its technical merits, but the largest amount to be realized upon settlement is less than 100% of the position. To the extent that our assessment of such tax positions changes, the change in estimate is recorded in the period in which the determination is made. Tax-related interest is classified in interest expense and tax-related penalties are classified in income tax expense. See Note 4 for additional detail regarding uncertain tax positions.

Currency Translation

The assets and liabilities of our subsidiaries, that are outside the U.S. and that have a functional currency that is not the U.S. dollar, are translated into U.S. dollars at the rates of exchange in effect at the balance sheet dates. Income and expense items, for these subsidiaries, are translated at the average exchange rates prevailing during the period. Gains and losses resulting from currency transactions and the remeasurement of the financial statements of U.S. functional currency foreign subsidiaries are recognized currently in Cost of services and Other income, net and those resulting from translation of financial statements are included in accumulated other comprehensive income. Our foreign currency transactions were not material for the calendar year ended December 30, 2011.

Operating Segments

Our business is aligned into three operating segments, two of which, Global Stabilization and Development Solutions (“GSDS”) and Global Platform Support Solutions (“GPSS”), are wholly-owned. Our third segment, GLS, is a 51% owned joint venture and accounted for as an operationally integral unconsolidated equity method investee. Our reporting segments are identical to our operating segments. Each segment, with the exception of GLS, is comprised of numerous contracts. Our segments are more fully described in Note 11.

Accounting Developments

Pronouncements Implemented

In September 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-09—Disclosures about an Employer’s Participation in a Multiemployer Plan, which amends FASB ASC 715-80, Compensation-Retirement Benefits-Multiemployer Plans, requiring additional disclosures about the commitments an employer has made to a multiemployer plan and the potential future cash flow implication of participation in such a plan. Specifically, the additional disclosures require information concerning (1) identification of the multiemployer plans in which an employer participates, (2) the level of employer participation, including the amount of contributions made, (3) the financial condition of the plans, and (4) the nature of an employer’s commitments to the plans. Additional disclosures are required in respect to plans for which information is not publicly available

 

67


from the plan’s annual report filed with the Internal Revenue Service. The amendments to FASB ASC 715-80 do not alter existing recognition and measurement guidance under the provisions of FASB ASC 450, Contingencies, if it is probable or reasonably possible that withdrawal from a plan could give rise to an obligation, or that the contribution to a plan would be increased to cover a shortfall in funds necessary to maintain the required level of benefit coverage. The revised disclosure requirements are applied retrospectively for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2011, for public entities. Early application is permitted. We adopted ASU No. 2011-09 as of December 30, 2011. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial position and results of operations. See further discussion in Note 6.

In October 2009, the FASB issued ASU No. 2009-13—Revenue Recognition Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements. This update (i) removes the objective-and-reliable-evidence-of-fair-value criterion from the separation criteria used to determine whether an arrangement involving multiple deliverables contains more than one unit of accounting, (ii) replaces references to “fair value” with “selling price” to distinguish from the fair value measurements required under the fair value measurements and disclosures guidance, (iii) provides a hierarchy that entities must use to estimate the selling price, (iv) eliminates the use of the residual method for allocation, and (v) expands the ongoing disclosure requirements. The impact of this ASU is limited to new or materially modified non-U.S. government contracts. The amendments in this update are effective prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010, with early adoption permitted. We adopted ASU No. 2009-13 as of January 1, 2011. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial position and results of operations.

In October 2009, the FASB issued ASU No. 2009-14—Certain Revenue Arrangements That Include Software Elements, which updates ASC 985—Software, and clarifies which accounting guidance should be used for purposes of measuring and allocating revenue for arrangements that contain both tangible products and software, and where the software is more than incidental, to the tangible product as a whole. The amendments in this update are effective prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010, with early adoption permitted. We adopted ASU No. 2009-14 as of January 1, 2011.The adoption of this ASU did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial position and results of operations.

Pronouncements Not Yet Implemented

On May 12, 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-04—Fair Value Measurements. The ASU was issued as a joint effort by the FASB and International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) to develop a single converged fair value framework. The ASU provides guidance on how and when to measure fair value and the required disclosures. There are few differences between the ASU and the international counterpart. While the ASU is largely consistent with existing fair value measurement principles under U.S. GAAP, it expands ASC 820’s existing disclosure requirements for fair value measurements and makes other amendments. Many of these amendments are being made to eliminate unnecessary wording differences between U.S. GAAP and IFRS. However, some could change how the fair value measurement guidance in ASC 820 is applied. The ASU is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011, for public entities. We do not believe that the adoption of this ASU will have a material effect on our consolidated financial position and results of operations.

In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-05—Presentation of Comprehensive Income. The ASU amends FASB ASC 220, Comprehensive Income, to eliminate the option to present components of other comprehensive income (“OCI”) as part of the statement of changes in stockholders’ equity, require presentation of each component of net income and each component of OCI (and their respective totals) either in a single continuous statement or in two separate statements, and require presentation of reclassification adjustments on the face of the statement. The amendments do not change the option to present components of OCI either before or after related income tax effects; they do not change the items that must be reported in OCI, when an item of OCI should be reclassified to net income, or the computation of earnings per share. On October 21, 2011, the FASB issued a deferral of the new requirement to present reclassifications of OCI on the face of the income statement. Companies would still be required to adopt the other requirements contained in the new accounting standard for the presentation of comprehensive income. The amendments made should be applied retrospectively and become effective for SEC registrants for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2011, with early adoption permitted. We do not believe that the adoption of this ASU will have a material effect on our consolidated financial position and results of operations.

On September 15, 2011, the FASB issued ASU No.2011-08—Testing Goodwill for Impairment, which gives entities testing goodwill for impairment the option of performing a qualitative assessment before calculating the fair value of a reporting unit in step 1 of the goodwill impairment test. If entities determine, on the basis of qualitative factors, that the fair value of a reporting unit is more-likely-than-not less than the carrying amount, the two-step impairment test would be required. Otherwise, further testing would not be needed. The ASU is effective for all entities for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. Early adoption is permitted. We do not believe that the adoption of this ASU will have a material effect on our consolidated financial position and results of operations.

Note 3 — Goodwill and other Intangible Assets

We estimate the fair value of our reporting units using a combination of the income approach and the market approach. Under the income approach, we utilize a discounted cash flow model based on several factors including balance sheet carrying values, historical results, our most recent forecasts, and other relevant quantitative and qualitative information. We discount the

 

70


related cash flow forecasts using the weighted-average cost of capital at the date of evaluation. Under the market approach, we utilize comparative market multiples in the valuation estimate. While the income approach has the advantage of utilizing more company specific information, the market approach has the advantage of capturing market based transaction pricing. We weight the estimates developed under each approach equally in determining the estimated fair value of each reporting unit. The estimates and assumptions used in assessing the fair value of our reporting units and the valuation of the underlying assets and liabilities are inherently subject to significant uncertainties.

As discussed in Note 1, the goodwill carrying value is tested for impairment annually in October and when an event occurs or circumstances change to suggest that the carrying value may not be recoverable using a two step process for each reporting unit. The first step of the annual impairment test indicated the carrying values of the reporting units for Intelligence Training and Solutions (“ITS”) and Training and Mentoring (“TM”) aggregating $109.6 million, may not be recoverable. The Company performed the second step of the impairment test and determined that the implied goodwill for each of these reporting units was a total of $33.8 million lower than the carrying value amount. A non-cash impairment charge was recorded for this amount for the two reporting units within our GSDS reporting segment, for the year ended December 30, 2011. The goodwill impairment charge was due to the decline in the projected future cash flows of the ITS and TM businesses, resulting from changes in the business environment specific to these reporting units. Specifically, the two reporting units have been subjected to uncertain market trends and shifts in program priorities and funding requirements which has resulted in lower margins. The impairment charge is presented separately in the statement of operations and as mentioned above, relate solely to the GSDS segment. The impairment charge for ITS and TM represents the accumulated impairment recognized since inception.

The following tables provide information about our goodwill balances for our three segments, Global Stabilization and Development Solutions (“GSDS”), Global Platform Support Solutions (“GPSS”) and GLS:

In evaluating our deferred tax assets, we assess the need for any related valuation allowances or adjust the amount of any allowances, if necessary. We assess such factors as the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities (including the impact of available carry back and carry forward periods), projected future taxable income and available tax planning strategies in determining the need for or sufficiency of a valuation allowance. Based on this assessment, we concluded no valuation allowances were necessary as of December 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010.

As of December 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, we had U.S. federal net operating loss carry forwards (“NOLs”) of approximately $60.8 million and $94.3 million, respectively, that will begin to expire in 2030 and state NOLs of approximately $197.4 million and $250.5 million, respectively, that will begin to expire in 2015. The remainder will not begin to expire until 2020 or later. Additionally, at December 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, we had approximately $20.9 million and $17.0 million, respectively, in foreign tax credit carryforwards (“FTCs”) that will begin to expire in 2017. We expect to fully utilize our federal and state net operating losses as well as our foreign tax credit carry forwards prior to their expiration.

As of December 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 we recorded a reserve for uncertain tax positions in the deferred tax accounts, offsetting the NOLs, in the amount of $8.6 million and $9.8 million, net of tax, and $23.9 million and $27.2 million, on a pre-tax basis, respectively. The NOLs and FTCs were primarily the result of the Company having obtained, from the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”), a favorable Change in Accounting Method (“CIAM”) letter, with respect to the timing of revenue recognition for the Company’s unbilled receivables. The CIAM went into effect beginning with the tax year ended

 

74


April 2, 2010. The Company’s subsidiary, DynCorp International, Inc., filed its April 2, 2010 tax return, applying the CIAM, which resulted in a tax net operating loss which was carried back to prior tax years. In December of 2010, DynCorp International received a $34.1 million refund related to the CIAM. In January of 2011, an additional refund of $46.0 million was received from the IRS related to the CIAM.

Due to the nature of the Company’s business, as a provider of professional and technical government services to the U.S. government, foreign earnings generally are exempt from foreign tax due to various bi-lateral agreements often referred to as Status of Forces Agreements (“SOFA”) and Status of Mission Agreements (“SOMA”) or their equivalents. The Company repatriates and provides U.S. income taxes on all income it earns outside of the United States.

Uncertain Tax Positions

The amount of unrecognized tax benefits at December 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 was $11.2 million and $12.9 million, respectively, of which $6.1 million and $6.6 million, respectively, would impact our effective tax rate if recognized. A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits is as follows:

For the year ended December 30, 2011 and for the period from April 1, 2010 (Inception) through December 31, 2010, we recognized a net decrease of approximately $0.03 million and $0.1 million, respectively, in interest and penalty expense. It is expected of the $11.2 million of unrecognized tax benefits $1.0 million will change in the next twelve months.

We file income tax returns in U.S. federal and state jurisdictions and in various foreign jurisdictions. The statute of limitations is open for U.S. federal income tax returns for our fiscal year 2009 forward. The statute of limitations for state income tax returns is open for our fiscal year 2009 and forward, with few exceptions, and foreign income tax examinations for the calendar year 2008 forward.

Unbilled receivables as of December 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 include $25.8 million and $31.3 million, respectively, related to costs incurred on projects for which we have been requested by the customer to begin new work under or extend work under an existing contract, and for which formal contracts or contract modifications have not been executed at the end of the respective periods. This amount includes contract claims of $0.1 million as of December 31, 2010. There were no contract claims included in the amount as of December 30, 2011. The balance of unbilled receivables consists of costs and fees billable immediately, on contract completion or other specified events, all of which are expected to be billed and collected within one year, except items that may result in a request for equitable adjustment or formal claim.

Note 6 — Retirement Plans

401(k) Savings Plans

The DynCorp International Savings Plan (the “Savings Plan”) is a participant-directed, defined contribution, 401(k) plan for the benefit of employees meeting certain eligibility requirements. The Savings Plan is intended to qualify under Section 401(a) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”), and is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. Under the Savings Plan, participants may contribute from 1% to 50% of their earnings, except for highly compensated employees who can only contribute up to 10% of their gross salary. Contributions are made on a pre-tax basis, limited to annual maximums set by the Code. The current maximum contribution per employee is sixteen thousand five hundred dollars per calendar year. Company matching contributions are also made in an amount equal to 100% of the first 2% of employee contributions and 50% of the next 6%, up to ten thousand per calendar year are invested in various funds at the discretion of the participant. We incurred Savings Plan expense of approximately $13.9 million and $5.5 million for the year ended December 30, 2011 and for the period from April 1, 2010 (Inception) through December 31, 2010, respectively. All Savings Plan expenses are fully funded.

Multiemployer Pension Plans

We are subject to several collective-bargaining agreements that require contributions to a multiemployer defined benefit pension plan that covers its union-represented employees. We contribute to this plan based on specified hourly rates for eligible hours. The risks of participating in this multiemployer plan are different from single-employer plans in the following aspects:

 

  a. Assets contributed to the multiemployer plan by one employer may be used to provide benefits to employees of other participating employers.

 

  b. If a participating employer stops contributing to the plan, the unfunded obligations of the plan may be borne by the remaining participating employers.

 

  c. If we stop participating in the multiemployer plan, the Company may be required to pay a withdrawal liability based on its portion of the unfunded status of the plan.

We are subject to seven significant collective bargaining-agreements that require contributions to the International Association of Machinists National Pension Fund (“IAMNPF”) with expiration dates ranging from May 16, 2012 through March 30, 2014. This is the only multiemployer plan that we contribute to. As long as we remain a contributing employer, we have no liability for any unfunded portion of this plan. However, if for any reason, we stop making contributions to the plan

 

76


under any of the individual collective-bargaining agreements, we could be assessed a potential withdrawal liability based on our share of the unfunded vested benefits of the plan. Our share of the unfunded vested benefits is determined by the contributions required under the individual collective-bargaining agreements from which we withdraw relative to the plan as a whole.

Our participation in the IAMNPF for the year ended December 30, 2011 and for the period from April 1, 2010 (Inception) through December 31, 2010 is outlined in the table below.

Our Term Loan facility provides for quarterly principal payments of $1.4 million that began in December 2010. In October 2011, a principal prepayment of $48.7 million was made on our Term Loan that was applied to all future schedule maturities and satisfied our responsibility to make quarterly principle payments through July 7, 2016. As a result, the total due on the Term Loan is included in Long-term debt, less current portion in our Consolidated balance sheet as of December 30, 2011. The current portion of long-term debt as of December 31, 2010 was $5.7 million, which was comprised of quarterly principal payments of $1.4 million.

Senior Credit Facility

In connection with the Merger, we entered into a senior secured credit facility on July 7, 2010 (the “Original Senior Credit Facility”), with a banking syndicate and Bank of America, NA as Agent. On August 10, 2011, DynCorp International Inc. entered into an amendment to the Senior Credit Facility (the “Amendment” and, together with the Original Senior Credit Facility, the “Senior Credit Facility”).

Our Senior Credit Facility is secured by substantially all of our assets and is guaranteed by substantially all of our subsidiaries. It provides for a six year, $570 million term loan facility (“Term Loan”) and a four year, $150 million revolving credit facility (“Revolver”), including a $100 million letter of credit subfacility. As of December 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the additional available borrowing capacity under the Senior Credit Facility was approximately $109.6 million and $109.0 million, respectively, which gives effect to $40.4 million and $41.0 million in letters of credit, respectively. The maturity date on the Term Loan is July 7, 2016 and the maturity date on the Revolver is July 7, 2014. Amounts borrowed under our Revolver were used to fund operations.

Interest Rates on Term Loan & Revolver

Both the Term Loan and Revolver bear interest at one of two options, based on our election, using either the (i) base rate (“Base Rate”) as defined in the Senior Credit Facility plus an applicable margin or the (ii) London Interbank Offered Rate (“Eurocurrency Rate”) as defined in the Senior Credit Facility plus an applicable margin. The applicable margin for the Term Loan is fixed at 3.5% for the Base Rate option and 4.5% for the Eurocurrency Rate option. The applicable margin for the Revolver ranges from 3.0% to 3.5% for the Base Rate option or 4.0% to 4.5% for the Eurocurrency option based on our outstanding Secured Leverage Ratio at the end of the quarter. The Secured Leverage Ratio is calculated by the ratio of total secured consolidated debt (net of up to $50 million of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents) to consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, and depreciation & amortization (“Consolidated EBITDA”), as defined in the Senior Credit Facility. Interest payments on both the Term Loan and Revolver are payable at the end of the interest period as defined in the Senior Credit Facility, but not less than quarterly.

The Base Rate is equal to the higher of (a) the Federal Funds Rate plus 1/2 of 1% and (b) the rate of interest in effect for such day as publicly announced from time to time by Bank of America as its prime rate; provided that in no event shall the Base Rate be less than 1.00% plus the Eurocurrency Rate applicable to one month interest periods on the date of determination of the Base Rate. The variable Base Rate has a floor of 2.75%.

The Eurocurrency Rate is the rate per annum equal to the British Bankers Association London Interbank Offered Rate (“BBA LIBOR”) as published by Reuters (or other commercially available source providing quotations of BBA LIBOR as designated by the Administrative Agent from time to time) two Business Days prior to the commencement of such interest period. The variable Eurocurrency rate has a floor of 1.75%. As of December 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the applicable interest rates for our Term Loan was 6.25% and 6.25%, respectively.

 

78


Interest Rates on Letter of Credit Subfacility and Unused Commitment Fees

The letter of credit subfacility bears interest at the applicable margin for Eurocurrency Loans, which ranges from 4.0% to 4.5%. The unused commitment fee ranges from 0.50% to 0.75% depending on the Secured Leverage Ratio, as defined in the Senior Credit Facility. Payments on both the letter of credit subfacility and unused commitments are payable quarterly in arrears. As of December 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 the applicable interest rates for our letter of credit subfacility and our interest rates for our unused commitment fees were 4.5% and 0.75%, respectively. All of our letters of credit are also subject to a 0.25% fronting fee.

Principal Payments

There is an annual excess cash flow requirement, which is defined in the Senior Credit Facility, that began in calendar year 2012, based on our annual financial results in calendar year 2011, that could result in a potential additional principal payment. Our normal quarterly principal payments would be reduced by the amount of any additional principal payment from the excess cash flow requirement. Furthermore, certain transactions can trigger mandatory principal payments such as tax refunds, a disposition of a portion of the business or a significant asset sale.

During the year ended December 30, 2011, principal prepayments of $48.6 million, $48.7 million and $50.0 million were made in March, October and December 2011, respectively. Pursuant to our Term Loan facility, quarterly principal payments of $4.0 million were made on the Senior Credit Facility. Deferred financing costs associated with the principal prepayment of $7.3 million were expensed and included in Loss on early extinguishment of debt in our consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 30, 2011. There were no penalties associated with the prepayments.

Covenants

The Senior Credit Facility contains financial, as well as non-financial, affirmative and negative covenants that we believe are usual and customary. The negative covenants in the Senior Credit Facility include, among other things, limits on our ability to:

 

   

declare dividends and make other distributions;

 

   

redeem or repurchase our capital stock;

 

   

prepay, redeem or repurchase certain of our indebtedness;

 

   

grant liens;

 

   

make loans or investments (including acquisitions);

 

   

incur additional indebtedness;

 

   

modify the terms of certain debt;

 

   

restrict dividends from our subsidiaries;

 

   

change our business or business of our subsidiaries;

 

   

merge or enter into acquisitions;

 

   

sell our assets;

 

   

enter into transactions with our affiliates; and

 

   

make capital expenditures.

In addition, the Senior Credit Facility stipulates a maximum total leverage ratio as defined in the Senior Credit Facility, and minimum interest coverage ratio as defined in the Senior Credit Facility, that we must maintain.

The total leverage ratio is the Consolidated Total Debt as defined in the Senior Credit Facility, less unrestricted cash and cash equivalents (up to $50 million) to Consolidated EBITDA as defined in the Senior Credit Facility, for the applicable period. Our total leverage ratio cannot be greater than 5.5 to 1.0 for the period of July 3, 2010 to June 29, 2012. After June 29, 2012, the maximum total leverage ratio diminishes either quarterly or semi-annually.

The interest coverage ratio is the ratio of Consolidated EBITDA to Consolidated Interest Expense as defined in the Senior Credit Facility. The interest coverage ratio must not be less than 1.7 to 1.0 for the period of July 3, 2010 to June 29, 2012. The minimum total interest coverage ratio increases either quarterly or semi-annually beginning June 29, 2012.

The fair value of our borrowings under our Senior Credit Facility approximates 98.0% and 100.8% of the carrying amount based on quoted values as of December 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.

In the event we fail to comply with the covenants specified in the Senior Credit Facility and the Indenture governing our Senior Unsecured Notes, we may be in default. As of December 31, 2010 and December 30, 2011, the Company was in compliance with all of its debt agreements. See Note 15—Subsequent Events for further discussion.

Senior Unsecured Notes

On July 7, 2010, DynCorp International Inc. issued $455 million in aggregate principal of 10.375% senior unsecured notes due 2017 (the “Senior Unsecured Notes”) in a private placement offering. The Senior Unsecured Notes were issued under an indenture dated July 7, 2010, by and among us, the guarantors party thereto (the “Guarantors”), including the Company, and Wilmington Trust FSB, as trustee. The Senior Unsecured Notes mature on July 1, 2017. Interest on the Senior Unsecured Notes is payable on January 1 and July 1 of each year, commencing on January 1, 2011.

In connection with the issuance of the Senior Unsecured Notes, we entered into a registration rights agreement, pursuant to which we agreed, among other things, to offer to exchange the Senior Unsecured Notes for a new issue of substantially identical notes that have been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Under this registration rights agreement, we were required to file an exchange offer registration statement and have it declared effective by the SEC within 300 days following July 7, 2010, which was May 3, 2011. Because the exchange offer registration statement did not go effective until June 21, 2011, we were required to pay additional interest to holders of the Senior Unsecured Notes in an amount equal to 0.25% per annum of the principal amount thereof from May 4, 2011 to June 21, 2011. We paid such additional interest of $183,264 to holders of the Senior Unsecured Notes on July 1, 2011 in compliance with the registration rights agreement. On July 26, 2011, we completed the exchange offer and approximately $455.0 million of registered Senior Unsecured Notes were issued in exchange for the old Senior Unsecured Notes.

The Senior Unsecured Notes contain various covenants that restrict our ability to:

 

   

incur additional indebtedness;

 

   

make certain payments including declaring or paying certain dividends;

 

   

purchase or retire certain equity interests;

 

   

retire subordinated indebtedness;

 

   

make certain investments;

 

   

sell assets;

 

   

engage in certain transactions with affiliates;

 

   

create liens on assets;

 

   

make acquisitions; and

 

   

engage in mergers or consolidations.

The aforementioned restrictions are considered to be in place unless we achieve investment grade ratings by both Moody’s Investor Services and Standard and Poors.

We can redeem the Senior Unsecured Notes, in whole or in part, at defined call prices, plus accrued interest through the redemption date. The Indenture requires us to repurchase the Senior Unsecured Notes at defined prices in the event of certain asset sales and change of control events.

Call and Put Options

We can voluntarily settle all or a portion of the Senior Unsecured Notes at any time prior to July 1, 2014. Such a voluntary settlement would require payment of 100% of the principal amount plus the applicable premium (or make-whole premium), and accrued and unpaid interest and additional interest, if any, as of the applicable redemption date. The applicable premium with respect to the Senior Unsecured Notes on any applicable redemption date is the greater of (1) 1.0% of the then outstanding principal amount of the Senior Unsecured Notes; and (2) the excess of (a) the present value at such redemption date of (i) the redemption price of the Senior Unsecured Notes at July 1, 2014 plus (ii) all required interest payments due on the Note through July 1, 2014 (excluding accrued but unpaid interest), computed using a discount rate equal to the treasury rate, as defined in the Indenture, as of such redemption date plus 50 basis points; over (b) the then outstanding principal amount of the Senior Unsecured Notes.

In the event of a change in control, each holder of the Senior Unsecured Notes will have the right to require the Company to repurchase some or all of the Senior Unsecured Notes at 101% of their face amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the repurchase date.

 

80


The fair value of the Senior Unsecured Notes is based on their quoted market value. As of December 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the quoted market value of the Senior Unsecured Notes was approximately 87.0% and 102.1%, respectively, of stated value.

Note 8 — Commitments and Contingencies

Commitments

We have operating leases for the use of real estate and certain property and equipment which are either non-cancelable, cancelable only by the payment of penalties or cancelable upon one month’s notice. All lease payments are based on the lapse of time but include, in some cases, payments for insurance, maintenance and property taxes. There are no purchase options on operating leases at favorable terms, but most leases have one or more renewal options. Certain leases on real estate are subject to annual escalations for increases in base rents, utilities and property taxes. Lease rental expense was $160.2 million and $46.7 million for the year ended December 30, 2011 and for the period from April 1, 2010 (Inception) through December 31, 2010, respectively. We have no significant long-term purchase agreements with service providers.

Minimum fixed rentals non-cancelable for the next five years and thereafter under operating leases in effect as of December 30, 2011, are as follows:

Contingencies

General Legal Matters

We are involved in various lawsuits and claims that arise in the normal course of business. We have established reserves for matters in which it is believed that losses are probable and can be reasonably estimated. Reserves related to these matters have been recorded in “Other accrued liabilities” totaling approximately $4.8 million and $17.4 million as of December 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. None of our reserves as of December 30, 2011 were individually material. We believe that appropriate accruals have been established for such matters based on information currently available; however, some of the matters may involve compensatory, punitive, or other claims or sanctions that if granted, could require us to pay damages or make other expenditures in amounts that could not be reasonably estimated at December 30, 2011. These accrued reserves represent the best estimate of amounts believed to be our liability in a range of expected losses. In addition to matters that are considered probable and can be reasonably estimated, we also have certain matters considered reasonably possible. Other than matters disclosed below, we believe the aggregate range of possible loss related to matters considered reasonably possible was not material as of December 30, 2011. Litigation is inherently unpredictable and unfavorable resolutions could occur. Accordingly, it is possible that an adverse outcome from such proceedings could (i) exceed the amounts accrued for probable matters; or (ii) require a reserve for a matter we did not originally believe to be probable or could be reasonably estimated. Such changes could be material to our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows in any particular reporting period. Our view of the matters not specifically disclosed could possibly change in future periods as events thereto unfold.

Pending Litigation and Claims

On December 4, 2006, December 29, 2006, March 14, 2007 and April 24, 2007, four lawsuits were served, seeking unspecified monetary damages against DynCorp International LLC and several of its former affiliates in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida, concerning the spraying of narcotic plant crops along the Colombian border adjacent to

 

81


Ecuador. Three of the lawsuits, filed on behalf of the Provinces of Esmeraldas, Sucumbíos, and Carchi in Ecuador, allege violations of Ecuadorian law, international law, and statutory and common law tort violations, including negligence, trespass, and nuisance. The fourth lawsuit, filed on behalf of citizens of the Ecuadorian provinces of Esmeraldas and Sucumbíos, alleges personal injury, various counts of negligence, trespass, battery, assault, intentional infliction of emotional distress, violations of the Alien Tort Claims Act and various violations of international law. The four lawsuits were consolidated, and based on our motion granted by the court, the case was subsequently transferred to the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. On March 26, 2008, a First Amended Consolidated Complaint was filed that identified 3,266 individual plaintiffs. As of January 12, 2010, 1,256 of the plaintiffs have been dismissed by court orders and, on September 15, 2010, the Provinces of Esmeraldas, Sucumbíos, and Carchi were dismissed by court order. We have filed multiple motions for summary judgment which are pending. The amended complaint does not demand any specific monetary damages; however, a court decision against us could have a material effect on our results of operations and financial condition, if we are unable to obtain reimbursement from the DoS. The aerial spraying operations were and continue to be managed by us under a DoS contract in cooperation with the Colombian government. The DoS contract provides indemnification to us against third-party liabilities arising out of the contract, subject to available funding. At this time, we believe the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome in this case is remote; however, estimation of potential damages is not possible as there is potential apportionment of damages to multiple defendants and possible indemnification available to us from the DoS.

A lawsuit filed on September 11, 2001, and amended on March 24, 2008, seeking unspecified damages on behalf of twenty-six residents of the Sucumbíos Province in Ecuador, was brought against our operating company and several of its former affiliates in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. The action alleges violations of the laws of nations and U.S. treaties, negligence, emotional distress, nuisance, battery, trespass, strict liability, and medical monitoring arising from the spraying of herbicides near the Ecuador-Colombia border in connection with the performance of the DoS, International Narcotics and Law Enforcement contract for the eradication of narcotic plant crops in Colombia. As of January 12, 2010, fifteen of the plaintiffs have been dismissed by court order. We have filed multiple motions for summary judgment which are pending. The terms of the DoS contract provide that the DoS will indemnify our operating company against third-party liabilities arising out of the contract, subject to available funding. We are also entitled to indemnification by Computer Sciences Corporation in connection with this lawsuit, subject to certain limitations. Additionally, any damage award would have to be apportioned between the other defendants and our operating company. We believe that the likelihood of an unfavorable judgment in this matter is remote; however, estimation of potential damages is not possible as there is potential apportionment of damages to multiple defendants and indemnification available to us from multiple sources, including the DoS and Computer Sciences Corporation.

Arising out of the litigation described in the preceding two paragraphs, on September 22, 2008, we filed a separate lawsuit against our aviation insurance carriers seeking defense and coverage of the referenced claims. On November 9, 2009, the court granted our Partial Motion for Summary Judgment regarding the duty to defend, and the carriers have paid the majority of the litigation expenses. In a related action, the carriers filed a lawsuit against us on February 5, 2009, seeking rescission of certain aviation insurance policies based on an alleged misrepresentation by us concerning the existence of certain of the lawsuits relating to the eradication of narcotic plant crops. On May 19, 2010, our aviation insurance carriers filed a complaint against us seeking reformation of previously provided insurance policies and the elimination of coverage for aerial spraying. The Company believes that the claims asserted by the insurance carriers are without merit and unlikely to result in a material effect on our results of operations or financial condition.

In November 2009, a U.S. grand jury indicted one of our subcontractors on the Logistics Civil Augmentation Program (“LOGCAP IV”) contract, Agility, on charges of fraud and conspiracy, alleging that it overcharged the U.S. Army on contracts to provide food to soldiers in Iraq, Kuwait and Jordan. These allegations were in no way related to the work performed under LOGCAP IV. Effective December 16, 2009, we removed Agility as a subcontractor on the LOGCAP IV contract and terminated the work under existing task orders. In April 2010, Agility filed an arbitration demand, asserting claims for breach of a joint venture agreement, breach of fiduciary duty and unjust enrichment. Through the arbitration Agility was seeking a declaration that it was entitled to a 30% share of the LOGCAP IV fees over the life of the contract. In November 2011, the arbitrators issued a decision granting Agility 30% share of the LOGCAP IV fees through August 2010. We recorded a liability and subsequently paid the calculated immaterial amount to Agility in December 2011.

In 2009, we terminated for cause a contract to build the Akwa Ibom International Airport for the State of Akwa Ibom in Nigeria. Consequently, we terminated certain subcontracts and purchase orders the customer advised us it did not want to assume. Our termination of certain subcontracts not assumed by the customer, including our actions to recover against advance payment and performance guarantees established by the subcontractors for our benefit, was challenged in certain instances. In December 2011, the customer filed arbitration alleging fraud, gross negligence, contract violations, and conversion of funds and asserted damages of approximately $150 million. We believe our right to terminate this contract was justified and permissible under the terms of the contract, and we intend to vigorously contest the claims brought against us. Additionally, we believe the contract limits any damages to a maximum of $3 million, except in situations of gross negligence and willful misconduct. We are not able to determine the likely outcome of the arbitration nor can we estimate a range of potential loss, if any.

U.S. Government Investigations

We primarily sell our services to the U.S. government. These contracts are subject to extensive legal and regulatory requirements, and we are occasionally the subject of investigations by various agencies of the U.S. government who investigate whether our operations are being conducted in accordance with these requirements, including as previously disclosed in our periodic filings, the Special Inspector General for Iraq Reconstruction report regarding certain reimbursements and the U.S. Department of State Office of Inspector General’s records subpoena with respect to Civilian Police (“CivPol”). Such investigations, whether related to our U.S. government contracts or conducted for other reasons, could result in administrative, civil or criminal liabilities, including repayments, fines or penalties being imposed upon us, or could lead to suspension or debarment from future U.S. government contracting. U.S. government investigations often take years to complete and many result in adverse action against us. We believe that any adverse actions arising from such matters could have a material effect on our ability to invoice and receive timely payment on our contracts, perform contracts or compete for contracts with the U.S. government and could have a material effect on our operating performance.

As previously disclosed in our periodic filings, we identified certain payments made on our behalf by two subcontractors to expedite the issuance of a limited number of visas and licenses from a foreign government’s agencies that may raise compliance issues under the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. We retained outside counsel to investigate these payments. In November 2009, we voluntarily brought this matter to the attention of the U.S. Department of Justice and the SEC. We are cooperating with the government’s review of this matter. We are also continuing our evaluation of our internal policies and procedures. Based on the facts currently known, we believe that this matter will not yield a negative outcome and will not have a material effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flow.

On August 16, 2005, we were served with a Department of Justice Federal Grand Jury Subpoena seeking documents concerning work performed by a former subcontractor, Al Ghabban in 2002-2005. Specifically, during the 2002-2005 timeframe, Al Ghabban performed line haul trucking work to transport materials throughout the Middle Eastern theater on the War Reserve Materials Program. In response to the subpoena in 2005, we provided the requested documents to the Department of Justice, and the matter was subsequently closed in 2005 without any action taken. In April 2009, we received a follow up telephone call concerning this matter from the Department of Justice Civil Litigation Division. Since that time, we have had several discussions with the government regarding the civil matter. In response to requests, we provided additional information to the Department of Justice Civil Litigation Division. We are fully cooperating with the government’s review and believe that the likelihood of an unfavorable judgment resulting from this matter is reasonably possible. If our operations are found to be in violation of any laws or government regulations, we may be subject to penalties, damages or fines, any or all of which could adversely affect our financial results. At this time, an estimate or a range of potential damages is not possible as this matter is still under review by the Department of Justice and no formal complaint has been filed.

U.S. Government Audits

Our contracts are regularly audited by the Defense Contract Audit Agency (“DCAA”) and other government agencies. These agencies review our contract performance, cost structure and compliance with applicable laws, regulations and standards. The government also reviews the adequacy of, and our compliance with, our internal control systems and policies, including our purchasing, property, estimating, compensation and management information systems. Any costs found to be improperly allocated to a specific contract will not be reimbursed. The DCAA will in some cases issue a Form 1 representing the non-conformance of such costs or requirements as it relates to our government contracts. If the Company is unable to provide sufficient evidence of the costs in question, the costs could be suspended or disallowed which could be material to our financial statements. Government contract payments received by us for direct and indirect costs are subject to adjustment after government audit and repayment to the government if the payments exceed allowable costs as defined in the government regulations. Since we cannot reasonably estimate the results of a DCAA or other government entity audit, these items represent loss contingencies that we consider reasonably possible. Due to the nature of our business, the continual oversight of and audits by governmental agencies and the number of contracts under which we perform, we cannot, at this time, provide a reasonable estimate of the range of loss for these contingencies.

The Defense Contract Management Agency (“DCMA”) formally notified us of non-compliance with Cost Accounting Standard 403, Allocation of Home Office Expenses to Segments, on April 11, 2007. We issued a response to the DCMA on April 26, 2007 with a proposed solution to resolve the area of non-compliance, which related to the allocation of corporate general and administrative costs between our divisions. On August 13, 2007, the DCMA notified us that additional information would be necessary to justify the proposed solution. We issued responses on September 17, 2007, April 28, 2008 and September 10, 2009 and the matter is pending resolution. Based on facts currently known, we believe the likelihood of an unfavorable judgment resulting from this matter is remote and the matters described in this and the preceding paragraph will not have a material effect on our results of operations or financial condition.

 

83


We have received several letters from the DCAA with draft audit results related to their examination of certain incurred, invoiced and collected costs on our Civilian Police program for periods ranging from April 17, 2004 through April 2, 2010. The draft audit results identified multiple issues where the DCAA has asserted certain instances of potential deviations from the explicit terms of the contract or from certain provisions of government regulations. The draft audit results apply an extrapolation methodology to estimate a potential exposure amount for the issues which when aggregated for all letters totals approximately $138.4 million. Although the extrapolated amounts would be material to our results of operations, cash flows and financial condition, we do not believe the draft audit results and resulting extrapolation are an appropriate basis to determine a range of potential exposure. We have provided responses to the DCAA for each letter, in which we have articulated our position on each issue and have attempted to answer their questions and provide clarification of the facts to resolve the issues raised. In the few instances where we believe the issues identified were valid or represent a probable contingency, we have recorded a liability for approximately $0.2 million as of December 30, 2011. There are a number of issues raised by the DCAA for which we believe the DCAA did not consider all relevant facts. We strongly believe these issues will be resolved in our favor and thus represent loss contingencies that we consider remote. For the remaining issues, we believe the DCAA did not consider certain contractual provisions and long- standing patterns of dealing with the customer. Since we cannot reasonably estimate the DCAA’s acceptance of our initial responses and the ultimate outcome related to these remaining issues, we believe these items represent loss contingencies that we consider reasonably possible. We continue to work with the DCAA to resolve any remaining questions they may have and provide clarification of the facts and circumstances surrounding the issues. Subsequent to December 30, 2011, the DCAA began to formalize their positions articulated in the letters issued earlier in the year by issuing Form 1’s. We noted there were no new issues raised in the Form 1’s.

Credit Risk

We are subject to concentrations of credit risk primarily by virtue of our accounts receivable. Departments and agencies of the U.S. federal government account for all but minor portions of our customer base, minimizing this credit risk. Furthermore, we continuously review all accounts receivable and recorded provisions for doubtful accounts.

Risk Management Liabilities and Reserves

We are insured for domestic worker’s compensation liabilities and a significant portion of our employee medical costs. However, we bear risk for a portion of claims pursuant to the terms of the applicable insurance contracts. We account for these programs based on actuarial estimates of the amount of loss inherent in that period’s claims, including losses for which claims have not been reported. These loss estimates rely on actuarial observations of ultimate loss experience for similar historical events. We limit our risk by purchasing stop-loss insurance policies for significant claims incurred for both domestic worker’s compensation liabilities and medical costs. Our exposure under the stop-loss policies for domestic worker’s compensation and medical costs is limited based on fixed dollar amounts. For domestic worker’s compensation and employer’s liability under state and federal law, the fixed-dollar amount of stop-loss coverage is $1.0 million per occurrence on most policies; but, $0.25 million on a California based policy. For medical costs, the fixed dollar amount of stop-loss coverage is from $0.25 million to $0.75 million for total costs per covered participant per calendar year.

Note 9 — Equity

At April 1, 2010 (inception), 100 common shares were issued and, as of December 30, 2011, 100 shares remain issued and outstanding as there have been no further issuances of common shares since that date. During the period from April 1, 2010 (Inception) through December 31, 2010, our equity was impacted by a capital contribution of $550.9 million in connection with the merger entered into on July 7, 2010.

Note 10 — Fair Value of Financial Assets and Liabilities

ASC 820 — Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. These tiers include:

 

   

Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets;

 

   

Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable; and

 

   

Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions.

As of December 30, 2011, we measured cash equivalents, including restricted cash, at fair value on a recurring basis. Cash equivalents consist of petty cash, cash in-bank and short-term, highly liquid, income-producing investments with original maturities of 90 days or less. This asset is categorized as a Level 1 input as required by ASC 820.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Our financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, accounts and notes receivable, accounts payable, and borrowings. The fair values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts and notes receivable, accounts payable and current portion of long-term debt approximated carrying values because of the short-term nature of these instruments. Our estimate of fair values for our long-term debt is based on third-party quoted market price.

Goodwill

   $ 75,785       $ (33,768

     —           (76,647

The goodwill, reflected above, as of December 30, 2011, for our ITS and TM reporting units was written down to their implied fair value, which resulted in an impairment charge of $33.8 million for the year ended December 30, 2011. The fair value of the goodwill was determined using the combination of the income approach and the market approach, which are Level 3 and Level 2 inputs, respectively. Total goodwill as of December 30, 2011 was 645.6 million.

In calculating the fair value of our ITS and TM reporting units, we used unobservable inputs (Level 3, as defined above) and management judgment. We used the following estimates and assumptions in the discounted cash flow analysis:

 

   

terminal value growth rates based on real rates of growth and inflationary growth;

 

   

terminal EBITDA margins, as a percentage of revenue reflecting forecasted EBITDA margins;

 

   

discount rates based on weighted-average cost of capital; and

 

   

assumptions regarding future capital expenditures.

The market approach analysis utilized observable inputs as it considered the inputs of other comparable companies (Level 2, as defined above). Changes in estimates and assumptions could affect the determination of fair value and the conclusion of the step one analysis for the reporting unit.

 

85


The Company performed an assessment of the GLS investment in October 2011, and concluded that the carrying value of the GLS investment had sustained a loss that was other than temporary and recorded an impairment of the investment of $76.6 million. In calculating the fair value of the GLS investment we used unobservable inputs (Level 3, as defined above) and management judgment to apply a discounted cash flow model under the income approach. We used the following estimates and assumptions in the discounted cash flow analysis:

 

   

nominal growth rate to reflect the reliance on a single major customer and contract;

 

   

compounded annual probability of forecast revenue to reflect the reliance on a single major customer and contract;

 

   

discount rates based on our peer group weighted-average cost of capital; and

 

   

forecasted EBITDA as a percentage of revenue.

Note 11 — Segment and Geographic Information

We have three reportable segments, Global Stabilization and Development Solutions, Global Platform Support Solutions, and Global Linguist Solutions. Two of our segments, Global Stabilization and Development Solutions and Global Platform Support Solutions, are wholly-owned. Our third segment, Global Linguist Solutions, is a 51% owned joint venture which we no longer consolidate in our financial results as discussed in Note 1. While we do not have control over the performance of Global Linguist Solutions, our senior management, including our chief executive officer, who is our chief operating decision maker, regularly reviews Global Linguist Solutions operating results and metrics to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess performance, thus Global Linguist Solutions is classified as an operating segment.

Our GPSS operating segment provides services domestically and in foreign countries under contracts with the U.S. government and some foreign customers, whereas our GSDS and GLS operating segments primarily provide services in foreign countries with the U.S. government as the primary customer. All three segments operate principally within a regulatory environment subject to governmental contracting and accounting requirements, including Federal Acquisition Regulations, Cost Accounting Standards and audits by various U.S. federal agencies. In order to realign measurement of true business performance with segment presentation, we excluded certain costs that are not directly allocable to business units from the segment results and included these costs in headquarters.

The following is a summary of the financial information of the reportable segments reconciled to the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements:

Note 12 — Related Parties, Joint Ventures and Variable Interest Entities

Consulting Fee

The Company has a Master Consulting and Advisory Services agreement (“COAC Agreement”) with Cerberus Operations and Advisory Company, LLC, where pursuant to the terms of the agreement, they make personnel available to us for the purpose of providing reasonably requested business advisory services. The services are priced on a case by case basis depending on the requirements of the project and agreements in pricing. We incurred $1.9 million and $0.7 million in expenses for Cerberus consulting fees for the year ended December 30, 2011 and for the period from April 1, 2010 (Inception) through December 31, 2010, respectively.

Joint Ventures and Variable Interest Entities

Our most significant joint ventures and VIEs and our associated ownership percentages are listed as follows:

 

Partnership for Temporary Housing LLC (“PaTH”)

     40

Contingency Response Services LLC (“CRS”)

     45

Global Response Services LLC (“GRS”)

     51

Mission Readiness LLC

     36

GLS

     51

DynCorp International FZ—LLC (“DIFZ”)

     50

Babcock DynCorp Limited (“Babcock”)

     44

PaTH is a joint venture formed in May 2006 with two other partners for the purpose of procuring government contracts with the Federal Emergency Management Authority.

CRS is a joint venture formed in March 2006 with two other partners for the purpose of procuring government contracts with the U.S. Navy.

Babcock is a Joint Venture formed in January 2005 and currently provides services to the British Ministry of Defense.

The GRS joint venture was formed in August of 2010 with one partner, for the purpose of procuring government contracts with the U.S. Navy. During the year ended December 30, 2011, this joint venture was selected as one of four contractors for an Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) multiple award contract. The total potential value of the contract is $900.0 million over five years. No task orders have been awarded under this contract as of December 30, 2011.

Mission Readiness LLC is a joint venture formed in September 2010 with three members for the purpose of procuring government contracts with the DoD. Subsequent to formation, a fourth member joined the joint venture. Mission Readiness is currently pursuing a significant contract for which the potential customer requested a 100% performance guarantee from one of the joint venture members. We agreed to provide this guarantee in exchange for similar guarantees from each of the joint venture members. The fair value of our guarantee to the potential customer was determined to be zero at the inception of the contract, thus the related liability was also determined to be zero. There is no value assigned to the guarantees provided to us from the other joint venture members.

GLS is a joint venture formed in August 2006 with one partner, McNeil Technologies, for the purpose of procuring government contracts with the U.S. Army. We incur significant costs on behalf of GLS related to the normal operations of the venture. However, these costs typically support revenue billable to our customer. GLS is not a guarantor under our Senior Secured Credit Facility or our Senior Unsecured Notes in accordance with the agreement.

Receivables due from our unconsolidated joint ventures, including GLS, totaled $3.9 million and $5.0 million as of December 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. These receivables are a result of items purchased and services rendered by us on behalf of our unconsolidated joint ventures, including GLS. We have assessed these receivables as having minimal collection risk based on our historic experience with these joint ventures and our inherent influence through our ownership interest. The related revenue we earned from our unconsolidated joint ventures, including GLS, totaled $12.3 million and $7.5 million for the year ended December 30, 2011 and for the period from April 1, 2010 (Inception) through December 31, 2010. Additionally, we earned $17.4 million and $12.9 million in equity method income (includes operationally integral and non-integral income) for the year ended December 30, 2011 and for the period from April 1, 2010 (Inception) through December 31, 2010, respectively.

GLS’ revenue was $359.6 million and $285.8 million for the year ended December 30, 2011 and for the period from April 1, 2010 (inception) through December 31, 2010, respectively. GLS’ operating income was $26.7 million and $19.3 million for the year ended December 30, 2011 and for the period from April 1, 2010 (inception) through December 31, 2010, respectively. GLS’ net income was $26.7 million and $19.2 million for the year ended December 30, 2011 and for the period from April 1, 2010 (inception) through December 31, 2010, respectively. As a result of the impairment recorded in September 2011, we no longer recognized any earnings related to GLS, until we receive cash through dividend distributions. See further discussion in the GLS financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report.

On October 5, 2011, the DCAA issued GLS a Form 1 in the amount of $95.9 million which pertained to inconsistencies of certain contractual requirements. As a result of the Form 1, the customer informed GLS it would withhold a portion of outstanding invoices until the Form 1 is resolved.

In view of these developments, combined with the wind-down of GLS’ current task order in Iraq, the announced withdrawal of U.S. forces from that country by year-end and delays of new task orders under the DLITE contract, the Company performed an assessment and concluded that the carrying value of the GLS investment, which totaled $76.6 million as of September 30, 2011, had a loss in value that was other than temporary. We recorded an impairment of our investment as of September 30, 2011, in the amount of $76.6 million.

We own 50% of DIFZ but exercise power over activities that significantly impact DIFZ’s economic performance. DIFZ provides foreign staffing, human resources and payroll services. We incur significant costs on behalf of DIFZ related to its normal operations. The vast majority of these costs are considered direct contract costs and thus billable on the various contracts supported by DIFZ services.

We currently hold one promissory note from Palm Trading Investment Corp, which had an aggregate initial value of $9.2 million. The note is included in (i) Prepaid expenses and other current assets and in (ii) Other assets on our audited consolidated balance sheet for the short and long-term portions, respectively. The loan balance outstanding was $6.0 million and $6.8 million as of December 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively, reflecting the initial value plus accrued interest, less payments against the promissory notes. The fair value of the notes receivable is not materially different from its carrying value.

The following tables presents selected financial information for DIFZ for the year ended December 30, 2011 and for the period from April 1, 2010 (Inception) through December 31, 2010:

We account for our investments in VIE’s in accordance with ASC 810—Consolidation. In cases where we have (i) the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact its economic performance and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE that could potentially be significant or the right to receive benefits from the entity that could potentially be significant to the VIE, we consolidate the entity. Alternatively, in cases where all of the aforementioned criteria are not met, the investment is accounted for under the equity method. As of December 30, 2011, we accounted for PaTH, CRS, Babcock, GRS, Mission Readiness LLC and GLS as equity method investments. Alternatively, we consolidated DIFZ based on the abovementioned criteria. We present our share of the PaTH, CRS, GRS, Mission Readiness LCC and GLS earnings in Earnings from unconsolidated affiliates as these joint ventures are considered operationally integral. Alternatively, we present our share of the Babcock earnings in Other income, net as it is not considered operationally integral.

Many of our joint ventures and VIEs only perform on a single contract. The modification or termination of a contract under a joint venture and VIE could trigger an impairment in the fair value of our investment in these entities. In the aggregate, our maximum exposure to losses as a result of our investment consists of our (i) $27.7 million investment in unconsolidated subsidiaries, (ii) $3.9 million in receivables from our unconsolidated joint ventures, (iii) $6.0 million of notes receivable from Palm Trading Investment Corp, and (iv) contingent liabilities that were neither probable nor reasonably estimable as of December 30, 2011.

Note 13 — Collaborative Arrangements

We participate in a collaborative arrangement with CH2M Hill on the LOGCAP IV program. During 2008, we executed a subcontract and teaming agreement with CH2M Hill with respect to operations on the LOGCAP IV program, which is considered a collaborative arrangement under GAAP. The purpose of this arrangement is to share some of the risks and rewards associated with this U.S. government contract. Our current share of profits is 70%.

We account for this collaborative arrangement under ASC 808 — Collaborative Arrangements and record revenue gross as the prime contractor. The cash inflows and outflows, as well as expenses incurred, are recorded in Cost of services in the period realized. Revenue on LOGCAP IV was $1,594.2 million and $697.1 million for the year ended December 30, 2011 and for the period from April 1, 2010 (Inception) through December 31, 2010, respectively. Cost of services on LOGCAP IV was $1,506.4 million and $651.5 million for the year ended December 30, 2011 and for the period from April 1, 2010 (Inception) through December 31, 2010, respectively. Our share of the total LOGCAP IV profits was $27.1 million and $14.7 million for the year ended December 30, 2011 and for the period from April 1, 2010 (Inception) through December 31, 2010, respectively.

Note 14 — Consolidating Financial Statements of Subsidiary Guarantors

The Senior Unsecured Notes issued by DynCorp International Inc. (“Subsidiary Issuer”) and the Credit Facility are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, by the Company (“Parent”) and all of the domestic subsidiaries of Subsidiary Issuer: DynCorp International LLC, DTS Aviation Services LLC, DynCorp Aerospace Operations LLC, DynCorp International Services LLC, DIV Capital Corporation, Dyn Marine Services of Virginia LLC, Services International LLC, Worldwide Humanitarian Services LLC, Worldwide Recruiting and Staffing Services LLC, Phoenix Consulting Group LLC and Casals and Associates Inc. (“Subsidiary Guarantors”). Each of the Subsidiary Issuers and the Subsidiary Guarantors is 100% owned by the Company.

The following condensed consolidating financial statements present (i) condensed consolidating balance sheets as of December 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 (ii) the condensed consolidating statement of operations and statement of cash flows for the year ended December 30, 2011 and for the period from April 1, 2010 (Inception) through December 31, 2010 and (iii) elimination entries necessary to consolidate Parent and its subsidiaries.

The Parent company, the Subsidiary Issuer, the combined Subsidiary Guarantors and the combined subsidiary non-guarantors account for their investments in subsidiaries using the equity method of accounting; therefore, the Parent column reflects the equity income of the subsidiary and its subsidiary guarantors, and subsidiary non-guarantors. Additionally, the Subsidiary Guarantors’ column reflects the equity income of its subsidiary non-guarantors.

DynCorp International, Inc. is considered the Subsidiary Issuer as it issued the Senior Unsecured Notes.

Note 15 — Subsequent Events

We evaluated subsequent events that occurred after the period end date. We concluded that no subsequent events have occurred that require recognition in our financial statements for the year ended December 30, 2011. However, we determined the following items discussed below merited disclosure.

Operating Segment Change

In January 2012, our organizational structure was amended to align our BATs in strategic business “Groups” reporting directly to the President of the Company. Under the new alignment, the Training and Intelligence Group will consist of the Training and Mentoring and Intelligence Training and Solutions BATs, the Security Services Group will consist of the Security BAT, the Logistics and Development Solutions Group will consist of the Development, Operations and Maintenance, and Contingency Operations (excluding the LOGCAP IV program) BATs, the Aviation Group will consist of the Aviation and Air Operations BATs, and the LOGCAP IV program will be removed from the Contingency Operations BAT and will operate as a standalone Group.

DIFZ Transaction

As of March 15, 2012, we entered into a non-cash dividend distribution transaction with Cerberus Series Four Holdings, LLC and Cerberus Partners II, L.P., in which we distributed half of our 50% ownership in DIFZ. Following this transaction, we hold 25% ownership interest in DIFZ.

Technical Default Under Debt Agreement

On March 30, 2012, the Company notified Bank of America N.A. (the “Administrative Agent”) of a default in connection with the failure to deliver to the Administrative Agent (i) the financial statements, reports and other documents as required under Section 6.01(a) of the Credit Agreement with respect to the fiscal year ended December 30, 2011 and (ii) the related deliverables required under Sections 6.01(d), 6.02(a), 6.02(b) and 6.02(e) of the Credit Agreement. The default was corrected with the issuance of the Delta Tucker Holdings, Inc. Form 10-K to the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and delivery of other related reporting items to the Administrative Agent within five days of the filing date of this Form 10-K.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Stockholder of

DynCorp International Inc.

Falls Church, Virginia

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of DynCorp International Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of April 2, 2010, and the related consolidated statements of operations, equity, and cash flows for the period from April 3, 2010 to July 2, 2010, and the fiscal year ended April 2, 2010. Our audits also included the financial statement schedule listed in the Index. These financial statements and financial statement schedule are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial statements and financial statement schedules based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of DynCorp International Inc. and subsidiaries as of April 2, 2010 and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the period from April 3, 2010 to July 2, 2010, and the fiscal year ended April 2, 2010 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also, in our opinion, such financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly in all material respects the information set forth therein.

DYNCORP INTERNATIONAL INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the Fiscal Quarter Ended July 2, 2010 and the Fiscal Year Ended April 2, 2010

Note 1 — Significant Accounting Policies and Accounting Developments

Unless the context otherwise indicates, references herein to “we,” “our,” “us” or “DynCorp International” refer to DynCorp International Inc. and our consolidated subsidiaries. DynCorp International Inc., through its subsidiaries (together, the “Company”), provides defense and technical services and government outsourced solutions primarily to United States (“U.S.”) government agencies domestically and internationally. Primary customers include the U.S. Department of Defense (“DoD”) and U.S. Department of State (“DoS”), but also include other government agencies, foreign governments and commercial customers.

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared, pursuant to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).

Fiscal Periods

On December 16, 2010, our board of directors approved a change in our fiscal year from a fiscal year comprised of twelve consecutive fiscal months ending on the Friday closest to March 31 to a fiscal year comprised of the twelve consecutive fiscal months ending on the Friday closest to December 31.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of both our domestic and foreign subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company has investments in joint ventures that are variable interest entities (“VIEs”). The VIE investments are accounted for in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Codification (“ASC”) ASC 810 — Consolidation. In cases where the Company has (i) the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact its economic performance and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE that could potentially be significant or the right to receive benefits from the entity that could potentially be significant to the VIE, the Company consolidates the entity. Alternatively, in cases where all of the aforementioned criteria are not met, the investment is accounted for under the equity method.

We have ownership interests in three active joint ventures that are not consolidated into our financial statements as of April 2, 2010, and are accounted for using the equity method. Economic rights in active joint ventures are indicated by the ownership percentages in the table listed below.

 

Babcock DynCorp Limited

     44.0 

Partnership for Temporary Housing LLC

     40.0

Contingency Response Services LLC

     45.0

The following table sets forth our ownership in joint ventures that are consolidated into our financial statements as of April 2, 2010. For the entities listed below, we are the primary beneficiary as defined in ASC 810 — Consolidation.

 

Global Linguist Solutions, LLC

     51.0

DynCorp International FZ-LLC

     50.0

Noncontrolling interests

We record the impact of our consolidated joint venture partners’ interests as noncontrolling interests. Noncontrolling interests is presented on the face of the income statement as an increase or reduction in arriving at Net income attributable to DynCorp International, Inc. Noncontrolling interests on the balance sheet is located in the equity section.

Revenue Recognition and Cost Estimation on Long-Term Contracts

General — We are predominantly a service provider and only include products or systems when necessary for the execution of the service arrangement and as such, systems, equipment or materials are not generally separable from services. Revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, services or products have been provided to the customer, the sales price is fixed or determinable (for non-U.S. government contracts) or costs are identifiable, determinable, reasonable and allowable (for our U.S. government contracts), and collectibility is reasonably assured (for non-U.S. government

 

104


contracts) or a reasonable contractual basis for recovery exists (for U.S. government contracts). Our contracts typically fall into four categories with the first representing the vast majority of our revenue. The categories are federal government contracts, construction type contracts, software contracts and other contracts. We apply the appropriate guidance consistently to similar contracts. Each arrangement is unique and revenue recognition is evaluated on a contract by contract basis. We apply the appropriate principles under GAAP consistently to similar contracts.

The evaluation of the separation and allocation of an arrangement fee to each deliverable within a multiple-deliverable arrangement is dependent upon the principles applicable to the specific arrangement.

We expense pre-contract costs as incurred for an anticipated contract until the contract is awarded. Throughout the life of the contract, indirect costs, including general and administrative costs, are expensed as incurred. When revenue recognition is deferred relative to the timing of cost incurred, costs that are direct and incremental to a specific transaction are deferred and charged to expense in proportion to the revenue recognized.

Management regularly reviews project profitability and underlying estimates. Revisions to the estimates are reflected in the results of operations as a change in accounting estimate in the period in which the facts that give rise to the revision become known by management. When estimates of total costs to be incurred on a contract exceed estimates of total revenue to be earned, a provision for the entire loss on the contract is recorded to cost of services in the period the loss is determined. Loss provisions are first offset against costs that are included in inventoried assets, with any remaining amount reflected in liabilities.

Major factors we consider in determining total estimated revenue and cost include the basic contract price, contract options, change orders (modifications of the original contract), back charges and claims, and contract provisions for penalties, award fees and performance incentives. All of these factors and other special contract provisions are evaluated throughout the life of our contracts when estimating total contract revenue under the percentage-of-completion or proportional methods of accounting.

Federal Government Contracts — For all non-construction and non-software U.S. federal government contracts or contract elements, we apply the guidance in the ASC 912 — Contractors Federal Government (“ASC 912”). We apply the combination and segmentation guidance in the ASC 605-35- Revenue-Construction Type and Production Type Contracts (“ASC 605-35”) as directed in ASC 912, in analyzing the deliverables contained in the applicable contract to determine appropriate profit centers. Revenue is recognized by profit center using the percentage-of-completion method or completed contract method.

Projects under our U.S. federal government contracts typically have different pricing mechanisms that influence how revenue is earned and recognized. These pricing mechanisms are classified as cost-plus-fixed-fee, fixed-price, cost-plus-award-fee, time-and-materials (including unit-price/level-of-effort contracts), or Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (“IDIQ”). The exact timing and quantity of delivery and pricing mechanism for IDIQ profit centers are not known at the time of contract award, but they can contain any type of pricing mechanism.

Revenue on projects with a fixed-price or fixed-fee, including award fees, is generally recognized based on progress towards completion over the contract period measured by either output or input methods appropriate to the services or products provided. For example, “output measures” can include period of service, such as for aircraft fleet maintenance, and units delivered or produced, such as aircraft for which modification has been completed. “Input measures” can include a cost-to-cost method, such as for procurement-related services.

Revenue on time-and-materials projects is recognized at contractual billing rates for applicable units of measure (e.g. labor hours incurred or units delivered).

The completed contract method is sometimes used when reliable estimates cannot be supported for percentage-of-completion method recognition or for short duration projects when the results of operations would not vary materially from those resulting from use of the percentage-of-completion method. Until complete, project costs are maintained in work in progress, a component of inventory reflected within Prepaid expenses and other current assets on the consolidated Balance Sheet.

Contract costs on U.S. federal government contracts, including indirect costs, are subject to audit and adjustment by negotiations between us and government representatives. Substantially all of our indirect contract costs have been agreed upon through 2004. Contract revenue on U.S. federal government contracts have been recorded in amounts that are expected to be realized upon final settlement.

Award fees are recognized based on the guidance in ASC 605-35, as directed by ASC 912. Award fees are excluded from estimated total contract revenue until a historical basis has been established for their receipt or the estimation or award criteria have been met including the completion of the award fee period at which time the award amount is included in the percentage-of-completion estimation.

 

105


Construction Contracts or Contract Elements — For all construction contracts or contract elements, we apply the combination and segmentation guidance found in ASC 605-35, as directed by ASC 910 Contractors Construction (“ASC-910”), in analyzing the deliverables contained in the contract to determine appropriate profit centers. Revenue is recognized by profit center using the percentage-of-completion method.

Software Contracts or Contract Elements — It is our policy to review any arrangement containing software or software deliverables against the criteria contained in ASC 985 — Software (“ASC 985”). In addition, ASC 605-25- Revenue Multiple Element Arrangements (“ASC 605-25”) is also applied to determine if any non-software deliverables are outside of the scope of ASC 985 when the software is more than incidental to the products or services as a whole. Under the provisions of ASC 985, software deliverables are separated and contract value is allocated based on Vendor Specific Objective Evidence (“VSOE”). We have never sold software on a separate standalone basis. As a result, software arrangements are typically accounted for as one unit of accounting and are recognized over the service period, including the period of post-contract customer support. All software arrangements requiring significant production, modification, or customization of the software are accounted for under ASC 605-25 as directed by ASC 985.

Other Contracts or Contract Elements — Our contracts with non-U.S. federal government customers are predominantly multiple-element. Multiple-element arrangements involve multiple obligations in various combinations to perform services, deliver equipment or materials, grant licenses or other rights, or take certain actions. We evaluate all deliverables in an arrangement to determine whether they represent separate units of accounting per the provisions of ASC 605-25 and arrangement consideration is allocated among the separate units of accounting based on their relative fair values. Fair values are established by evaluating VSOE or third-party evidence if available. Due to the customized nature of our arrangements, VSOE and third-party evidence is generally not available resulting in applicable arrangements being accounted for as one unit of accounting under the guidance of ASC 605-25.

We apply the guidance in ASC 605-15 — Revenue Products, or ASC 605-20 — Revenue Services. The timing of revenue recognition for a given unit of accounting will depend on the nature of the deliverable(s) and whether revenue recognition criteria have been met. The same pricing mechanisms found in U.S. federal government contracts are found in our other contracts.

Cash and cash equivalents

For purposes of reporting cash and cash equivalents, we consider all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Restricted cash

Restricted cash represents cash restricted by certain contracts in which advance payments are not available for use except to pay specified costs and vendors for work performed on the specific contract.

Changes in restricted cash related to our contracts are included as operating activities whereas changes in restricted cash for funds invested as collateral are included as investing activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Management evaluates these estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis, including but not limited to, those relating to allowances for doubtful accounts, fair value and impairment of intangible assets and goodwill, income taxes, profitability on contracts, anticipated contract modifications, contingencies and litigation. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

We establish an allowance for doubtful accounts against specific billed receivables based upon the latest information available to determine whether invoices are ultimately collectible. Such information includes the historical trends of write-offs and recovery of previously written-off accounts, the financial strength of the respective customer, and projected economic and market conditions. The evaluation of these factors involves subjective judgments and changes in these factors may cause an increase to our estimated allowance for doubtful accounts, which could significantly impact our consolidated financial statements by incurring bad debt expense. Given that we primarily serve the U.S. government, management believes the risk is low that changes in our allowance for doubtful accounts would have a material impact on our financial results.

Property and Equipment

The cost of property and equipment, less applicable residual values, is depreciated using the straight-line method. Depreciation commences when the specific asset is complete, installed and ready for normal use. Depreciation related to

 

106


equipment purchased for specific contracts is typically included within cost of services, as this depreciation is directly attributable to project costs. We evaluate property and equipment for impairment quarterly by examining factors such as existence, functionality, obsolescence and physical condition. In the event that we experience impairment, we revise the useful life estimate and record the impairment as an addition to depreciation expense and accumulated depreciation. Our standard depreciation and amortization policies are as follows:

 

Computer and related equipment

   3 to 5 years

Furniture and other equipment

   2 to 10 years

Leasehold improvements

   Shorter of lease term or useful life

Impairment of Long Lived Assets

Our long lived assets are primarily made up of customer related intangibles. The initial values assigned to customer-related intangibles were the result of fair value calculations associated with business combinations. The values were determined based on estimates and judgments regarding expectations for the estimated future after-tax cash flows from those assets over their lives, including the probability of expected future contract renewals and sales, less a cost-of-capital charge, all of which was discounted to present value. We evaluate the carrying value of our customer-related intangibles on a quarterly basis. The customer related intangible carrying value is considered impaired when the anticipated undiscounted cash flows from such asset is less than its carrying value. In that case, a loss is recognized based on the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value.

Indefinite- Lived Assets

Indefinite-lived assets, including goodwill and indefinite-lived tradename, are not amortized but are subject to an annual impairment test. The first step of the goodwill impairment test compares the fair value of each of our reporting units with its carrying amount, including indefinite-lived assets. If the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, the indefinite-lived assets of the reporting unit are not considered impaired, and the second step of the impairment test is unnecessary. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the second step of the goodwill impairment test is performed to measure the amount of the impairment loss, if any.

We evaluate goodwill for impairment annually and when an event occurs or circumstances change to suggest that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Based on the results of these tests, no impairment losses were identified for the fiscal year ended April 2, 2010. See Note 2 to the audited consolidated financial statements for additional discussion on indefinite-lived assets.

Income Taxes

We file income, franchise, gross receipts and similar tax returns in many jurisdictions. Our tax returns are subject to audit by the Internal Revenue Service, most states in the U.S., and by various government agencies representing many jurisdictions outside the U.S.

We use the asset and liability approach for financial accounting and reporting for income taxes in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Codification. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed annually for differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Income tax expense is made up of current expense which includes both permanent and temporary differences and deferred expense which only includes temporary differences. Income tax expense is the amount of tax payable for the period plus or minus the change in deferred tax assets and liabilities during the period.

We make a comprehensive review of our portfolio of uncertain tax positions regularly. The accounting for uncertainty in income taxes requires a more-likely-than-not threshold for financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. A liability is recorded when a benefit is recognized for a tax position and it is not more-likely-than-not that the position will be sustained on its technical merits or where the position is more-likely-than-not that it will be sustained on its technical merits, but the largest amount to be realized upon settlement is less than 100% of the position. To the extent that our assessment of such tax positions changes, the change in estimate is recorded in the period in which the determination is made. Tax-related interest is classified in interest expense and tax-related penalties are classified in income tax expense. See Note 3 to the audited consolidated financial statements for additional detail regarding uncertain tax positions.

Equity-Based Compensation Expense

We have adopted the provisions of, and accounted for equity-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718 — Compensation-Stock Compensation. Under the fair value recognition provisions, equity-based compensation expense is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized on an graded basis over the requisite service period for each separately vesting portion of the award, adjusted for estimated forfeitures. Our RSUs were determined to be liability awards; therefore, the fair value of the RSUs were remeasured at each financial reporting date as long as they remained liability awards.

Currency Translation

The assets and liabilities of our subsidiaries, that are outside the U.S. and that have a functional currency that is not the U.S. dollar, are translated into U.S. dollars at the rates of exchange in effect at the balance sheet dates. Income and expense items, for these subsidiaries, are translated at the average exchange rates prevailing during the period. Gains and losses resulting from currency transactions and the remeasurement of the financial statements of U.S. functional currency foreign subsidiaries are recognized currently in income and those resulting from translation of financial statements are included in accumulated other comprehensive income.

Operating Segments

On April 4, 2009, we announced a reorganization of our business structure to better align with strategic markets and to streamline our infrastructure. Under the new alignment, our three reportable segments were realigned into three new segments, two of which, Global Stabilization and Development Solutions (“GSDS”) and Global Platform Support Solutions (“GPSS”), are wholly-owned, and a third segment, Global Linguist Solutions (“GLS”), is a 51% owned joint venture, which was deconsolidated as of the Merger. The new structure became effective April 4, 2009, the start of our 2010 fiscal year, and is more fully described in Note 16.

Accounting Developments

Pronouncements Implemented

In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Standards No. 167-Amendments to FASB Interpretation 46(R) (“SFAS No. 167”). SFAS No. 167 was converted to Financial Accounting Standards Update 2009-17 and was incorporated into Financial Accounting Standards Codification 810 — Consolidation. This statement amends the guidance for (i) determining whether an entity is a VIE, (ii) determining the primary beneficiary of a VIE, (iii) requiring ongoing reassessments of whether an enterprise is the primary beneficiary of a VIE and (iv) changing the disclosure requirements formerly listed in FASB Interpretation 46(R)-8. This statement was effective for us beginning April 3, 2010. The adoption of this statement did not impact our consolidation conclusions in the first quarter of fiscal year 2011.

Pronouncements not yet Implemented

In October 2009, the FASB issued ASU No. 2009-13 — Revenue Recognition Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements. This update (i) removes the objective-and-reliable-evidence-of-fair-value criterion from the separation criteria used to determine whether an arrangement involving multiple deliverables contains more than one unit of accounting, (ii) replaces references to “fair value” with “selling price” to distinguish from the fair value measurements required under the fair value measurements and disclosures guidance, (iii) provides a hierarchy that entities must use to estimate the selling price, (iv) eliminates the use of the residual method for allocation, and (v) expands the ongoing disclosure requirements. The amendments in this update will be effective prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010, with early adoption permitted. Management does not believe that adoption of this ASU will have a material effect on our consolidated financial position and results of operations.

In October 2009, the FASB issued ASU No. 2009-14 — Certain Revenue Arrangements That Include Software Elements, which updates ASC 985 — Software and clarifies which accounting guidance should be used for purposes of measuring and allocating revenue for arrangements that contain both tangible products and software, and where the software is more than incidental to the tangible product as a whole. The amendments in this update will be effective prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010, with early adoption permitted. Management does not believe that adoption of this ASU will have a material effect on our consolidated financial position and results of operations.

In April 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-17 — Milestone Method of Revenue Recognition — Consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force, which amends ASC 605 — Revenue Recognition. This ASU establishes authoritative guidance permitting the use of the milestone method of revenue recognition for research or development arrangements that contain payment provisions or consideration contingent on the achievement of specified events. This guidance is effective for milestones achieved in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010 and allows for either prospective or retrospective application, with early adoption permitted. Management does not believe that adoption of this ASU will have a material effect on our consolidated financial position and results of operations.

Note 2 — Goodwill and other Intangible Assets

We evaluate goodwill for impairment annually and when an event occurs or circumstances change to suggest that the carrying value may not be recoverable.

We estimate a portion of the fair value of our reporting units under the income approach by utilizing a discounted cash flow model based on several factors including balance sheet carrying values, historical results, our most recent forecasts, and other relevant quantitative and qualitative information. We discount the related cash flow forecasts using the weighted-average cost of capital at the date of evaluation. We also use the market approach to estimate the remaining portion of our reporting unit valuation. This technique utilizes comparative market multiples in the valuation estimate. We have historically applied a 50%/50% weighting to each approach. While the income approach has the advantage of utilizing more company specific information, the market approach has the advantage of capturing market based transaction pricing. The estimates and assumptions used in assessing the fair value of our reporting units and the valuation of the underlying assets and liabilities are inherently subject to significant uncertainties.

On April 4, 2009, we announced a reorganization of our business structure to better align with strategic markets and streamline our infrastructure. Under this alignment, our three reportable segments were realigned into three new segments, two of which, GSDS and GPSS, are wholly-owned, and a third segment GLS, which is a 51% owned joint venture. The new structure became effective April 4, 2009 and represented the segment structure as of July 2, 2010. See Note 16, for further discussion on segments.

Deferred tax liabilities, net

   $ (12,748
  

 

 

 

In evaluating our deferred tax assets, we assess the need for related valuation allowances or adjust the amount of any allowances, if necessary. We assess such factors as the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities (including the impact of available carry back and carry forward periods), projected future taxable income and available tax planning strategies in determining the need for or sufficiency of a valuation allowance. Based on this assessment, we concluded no valuation allowances were necessary for the fiscal year ended April 2, 2010.

A reconciliation of the statutory federal income tax rate to our effective rate is provided below:

 

     Fiscal Quarter Ended     Fiscal Year Ended  
     July 2, 2010     April 2, 2010  

Statutory rate

     35.0     35.0

State income tax, less effect of federal deduction

     1.4     1.1

Noncontrolling interests

     (6.0 )%      (5.8 )%

     3.9     1.2
  

 

 

   

 

 

 

Effective tax rate

     34.3     31.5
  

 

 

   

 

 

 

For the fiscal quarter ended July 2, 2010, our effective tax rate was 34.3%. The calculation of the effective tax rate below the U.S. marginal federal statutory rate of 35% was primarily due to the impact of our consolidated joint ventures which are GLS and DynCorp International FZ-LLC (“DIFZ”). These are consolidated for financial reporting purposes, but are considered unconsolidated entities for U.S. income tax purposes.

Uncertain Tax Positions

The amount of unrecognized tax benefits at April 2, 2010 was $12.7 million, of which $2.2 million would impact our effective tax rate if recognized. A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits is as follows:

 

(Amounts in thousands)    April 2, 2010  

Balance at April 3, 2009

   $ 6,087   

Additions for tax positions related to current year

     1,907   

Additions for tax positions taken in prior years

     5,133   

Reductions for tax positions of prior years

  

Settlements

Lapse of statute of limitations

     —     
  

 

 

 

Balance at April 2, 2010

   $ 12,746   
  

 

 

 

It is expected that the amount of unrecognized tax benefits will change in the next twelve months; however, we do not expect the change to have a significant impact on the results of operations or our financial position.

We recognize interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in income tax expense in our Consolidated Statements of Operations, which is consistent with the recognition of these items in prior reporting periods. We have recorded a liability of approximately $0.8 million for the payment of interest and penalties for the fiscal year ended April 2, 2010.

We file income tax returns in U.S. federal and state jurisdictions and in various foreign jurisdictions. The statute of limitations is open for U.S. federal for our fiscal year 2008 forward. The statute of limitations for state income tax returns is open for our fiscal year 2008 and forward, with few exceptions, and foreign income tax examinations for the calendar year 2007 forward.

Note 4 — Accounts Receivable

Accounts Receivable, net consisted of the following:

 

(Amounts in thousands)    April 2, 2010  

Billed

   $ 250,166   

Unbilled

     599,323   
  

 

 

 

Total

   $ 849,489   
  

 

 

 

Unbilled receivables as of April 2, 2010 include $53.8 million related to costs incurred on projects for which we have been requested by the customer to begin work under a new contract or extend work under an existing contract and for which formal contracts or contract modifications have not been executed at the end of the respective periods. This amount includes contract claims of $0.3 million as of April 2, 2010. The balance of unbilled receivables consists of costs and fees billable immediately, on contract completion or other specified events, all of which is expected to be billed and collected within one year, except items that may result in a request for equitable adjustment or a formal claim.

Note 5 — 401(k) Savings Plans

Effective March 1, 2006, we established the DynCorp International Savings Plan (the “Savings Plan”). The Savings Plan is a participant-directed, defined contribution, 401(k) plan for the benefit of employees meeting certain eligibility requirements. The Savings Plan is intended to qualify under Section 401(a) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”), and is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. Under the Savings Plan, participants may contribute from 1% to 50% of their earnings, except for highly compensated employees who can only contribute up to 10% of their gross salary. Contributions are made on a pre-tax basis, limited to annual maximums set by the Code. The current maximum contribution per employee is sixteen thousand five hundred dollars per calendar year. Company matching contributions are also made in an amount equal to 100% of the first 2% of employee contributions and 50% of the next 6%, up to ten thousand dollars per calendar year are invested in various funds at the discretion of the participant. We incurred Savings Plan expense of approximately $3.2 million for the fiscal quarter ended July 2, 2010 and $11.6 million for the fiscal year ended April 2, 2010. All Savings Plan expenses are fully funded.

We participate in a number of multi-employer plans with unions that we have collective bargaining agreements with. We contribute to these plans based on specified hourly rates for eligible hours. We contributed $1.2 million during the fiscal quarter ended July 2, 2010 and $2.9 million for the fiscal year ended April 2, 2010.

Note 6 — Long-Term Debt

Our debt consisted of the following as of April 2, 2010:

 

(Amounts in thousands)    April 2, 2010  

Term loans

   $ 176,637   

9.5% Senior subordinated notes

     375,510

Less current portion of long-term debt

     (44,137
  

 

 

 

Total long-term debt

   $ 508,010   
  

 

 

 

In connection with the Merger on July 7, 2010, substantially all of our debt outstanding as of July 2, 2010 was extinguished and replaced with new debt described below. We classified our outstanding debt between current and long-term during the quarter ended July 2, 2010 due to our intent and ability to refinance the majority of the outstanding debt on a long-term basis.

Senior Secured Credit Facility

On July 28, 2008 we entered into a senior secured credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) consisting of a revolving credit facility of $200.0 million (including a letter of credit sub-facility of $125.0 million) (the “Revolving Facility”) and a senior secured term loan facility of $200.0 million (the “Term Loan”). The maturity date of the Credit Facility is August 15, 2012. To the extent that the letter of credit sub-facility is utilized, it reduces the borrowing capacity on the Revolving Facility.

On July 28, 2008, we borrowed $200.0 million under the Term Loan at the applicable three-month London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus the applicable margin then in effect and issued an additional $125.0 million in 9.5% senior subordinated notes (see note below) to refinance the existing credit facility and term loan and pay certain transaction costs. The applicable margin for LIBOR as of April 2, 2010 was 2.25% per annum, resulting in an actual interest rate under the Term Loan of 2.53% as of April 2, 2010. The LIBOR rate is partially hedged through our swap agreements, as disclosed in Note 9. The unamortized deferred financing fees associated with the new Credit Facility totaled $3.5 million as of April 2, 2010. As of April 2, 2010, we had $176.6 million outstanding under our Term Loan at LIBOR plus the Applicable Margin.

Borrowings under the Revolving Facility bear interest at a rate per annum equal to either the Base Rate plus an applicable margin determined by reference to the leverage ratio, as set forth in the Credit Facility (“Applicable Margin”) or LIBOR plus the Applicable Margin. As of April 2, 2010, we had no outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Facility.

On March 6, 2009 we entered into an amendment of our existing secured credit agreement dated as of July 28, 2008 with Wachovia Bank, National Association, as Administrative Agent. In addition to certain other changes, the amendment reduced certain excess cash flow repayment requirements as defined under the Credit Facility and expanded the current ability to repurchase our common stock and include the right to redeem a portion of the 9.5% senior subordinated notes due 2013. As further described in Note 8, our board of directors approved a plan in fiscal year 2009 that allowed for $25 million in repurchases for a combination of common stock and/or senior subordinated notes per fiscal year during fiscal years 2009 and 2010.

Our available borrowing capacity under the Revolving Facility totaled $170.0 million at April 2, 2010, which gives effect to $30.0 million of outstanding letters of credit under the letter of credit sub-facility. With respect to each letter of credit, a quarterly commission in an amount equal to the face amount of such letter of credit multiplied by the Applicable Margin and a nominal fronting fee are required to be paid. The combined rate as of April 2, 2010 was 2.375%.

We were required, under certain circumstances as defined in our Credit Facility, to use a percentage of cash generated from operations to reduce the outstanding principal of our Term Loan. Based on the fiscal year 2010 financial performance and ending balances, we do not expect to be required to make such a payment.

The Credit Facility contains various financial covenants, including minimum interest and leverage ratios, and maximum capital expenditures limits. Non-financial covenants restrict our ability to dispose of assets; incur additional indebtedness, prepay other indebtedness or amend certain debt instruments; pay dividends; create liens on assets; enter into sale and leaseback transactions; make investments, loans or advances; issue certain equity instruments; make acquisitions; engage in mergers or consolidations or engage in certain transactions with affiliates; and otherwise restrict certain corporate activities. We were in compliance with these various financial covenants as of April 2, 2010. A change of control is an Event of Default under the Credit Facility and triggers certain rights and remedies of the Lenders including acceleration of the obligations. A change of control would be triggered in the event we close the proposed Merger. The pre-Merger indebtedness under the Credit Facility was repaid concurrently with the proposed Merger.

The fair value of our borrowings under our Credit Facility approximated 99.5% of the carrying amount based on quoted values as of April 2, 2010.

9.5% Senior Subordinated Notes

In February 2005, we completed an offering of $320.0 million in aggregate principal amount of our 9.5% senior subordinated notes due on February 15, 2013. Proceeds from the original issuance of the senior subordinated notes, net of fees, were $310.0 million and were used to pay the consideration for, and fees and expenses relating to our 2005 formation as an independent company from Computer Sciences Corporation. Interest on the senior subordinated notes is due semi-annually. The senior subordinated notes are general unsecured obligations of our Operating Company, DynCorp International LLC, and certain guarantor subsidiaries of DynCorp International LLC, and contain certain covenants and restrictions, which limit our Operating Company’s ability to pay us dividends.

In July 2008, we completed an offering in a private placement pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, of $125.0 million in aggregate principal amount of additional 9.5% senior subordinated notes under the same indenture as the senior subordinated notes issued in February 2005. Net proceeds from the additional offering of senior subordinated notes, combined with proceeds from the Credit Facility, were used to refinance the then existing senior secured credit facility, to pay related fees and expenses and for general corporate purposes. The additional senior subordinated notes also mature on February 15, 2013. The additional senior subordinated notes were issued at approximately a 1.0% discount totaling $1.2 million. Deferred financing fees associated with this offering totaled $4.7 million. The unamortized deferred financing fees as of April 2, 2010 for all of the senior subordinated notes totaled $6.2 million.

The senior subordinated notes contain various covenants that restrict our ability to make certain payments including declaring or paying certain dividends, purchasing or retiring certain equity interests, prepaying or retiring indebtedness subordinated to the Notes, or make certain investments unless we meet certain financial thresholds including a Fixed Coverage Ratio (as defined in the Notes) above 2.0. Additionally, the Notes restrict our ability to incur additional indebtedness; sell assets, engage in certain transactions with affiliates; create liens on assets; make acquisitions; engage in mergers or consolidations; and otherwise restrict certain corporate activities. We were in compliance with these various financial covenants as of April 2, 2010.

We can redeem the senior subordinated notes, in whole or in part, at defined redemption prices, plus accrued interest to the redemption date. The senior subordinated notes may require us to repurchase the senior subordinated notes at defined prices in the event of certain specified triggering events, including but not limited to certain asset sales, change-of-control events, and debt covenant violations. In fiscal year 2010, under a board authorized program established in fiscal year 2009, we redeemed approximately $24.7 million face value of our senior subordinated notes in the open market for $24.3 million, including transaction fees. The repurchases, when including the impact of the discount and deferred financing fees, produced an overall debt extinguishment loss of $0.1 million.

The fair value of the senior subordinated notes is based on their quoted market value. As of April 2, 2010, the quoted market value of the senior subordinated notes was approximately 102.2% of stated value. The fiscal year 2010 effective interest rate for the entire outstanding senior subordinated note principal balance as of April 2, 2010 was 9.6%, including the impact of the discount.

A change of control under the senior subordinated notes requires a cash tender offer for the outstanding bonds at a set price of 101% of the principal plus accrued and unpaid interest. The holders under the senior subordinated notes have the right to reject the tender offer and if so, these notes would stay outstanding.

Note 7 — Commitments and Contingencies

Commitments

We have operating leases for the use of real estate and certain property and equipment, which are either non-cancelable, cancelable only by the payment of penalties or cancelable upon one month’s notice. All lease payments are based on the lapse of time but include, in some cases, payments for insurance, maintenance and property taxes. There are no purchase options on operating leases at favorable terms, but most leases have one or more renewal options. Certain leases on real estate are subject to annual escalations for increases in base rents, utilities and property taxes. Rental expense was $13.7 million for the fiscal quarter ended July 2, 2010 and $55.6 million for the fiscal year ended April 2, 2010.

Minimum fixed rentals non-cancelable for the next five years and thereafter under operating leases in effect as of April 2, 2010, are as follows:

Contingencies

General Legal Matters

We are involved in various lawsuits and claims that have arisen in the normal course of business. In most cases, we have denied, or believe we have a basis to deny any liability. Related to these matters, we have recorded reserves totaling approximately $11.4 million as of April 2, 2010. While it is not possible to predict with certainty the outcome of litigation and other matters discussed below, we believe that liabilities in excess of those recorded, if any, arising from such matters would not have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, consolidated financial condition or liquidity over the long term.

Pending litigation and claims

On May 14, 2008, a jury in the Eastern District of Virginia found against us in a case brought by a former subcontractor, Worldwide Network Services (“WWNS”), on two Department of State (“DoS”) contracts, in which WWNS alleged racial discrimination, tortuous interference and certain other claims. The Company accrued approximately $17.1 million related to the claim. WWNS was awarded approximately $20.5 million in compensatory, contractual and punitive damages and attorneys’ fees, and we were awarded approximately $0.2 million on a counterclaim. On February 2, 2009, we filed an appeal with respect to this matter. On February 12, 2010, the Court of Appeals vacated $10 million in punitive damages, remanded the case for a new trial on punitive damages, and imposed a $350,000 cap on any possible new punitive damages award. WWNS filed a petition seeking re-hearings, which the Court denied. In the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2010, we reversed the previously accrued punitive damages of $10 million, creating a reduction in selling, general and administrative expenses. On June 7, 2010, we paid WWNS the amount of the previously unpaid awarded non-punitive damages, approximately $5.8 million. On June 25, 2010, WWNS filed a Petition for a Writ of Certiori to the U.S. Supreme Court, which was denied on October 4, 2010. In 2011, we accrued and paid $0.4 million, the remainder of the legal fees associated with the case. On March 14, 2011, the trial court dismissed with prejudice the remanded punitive damages claim. The case is now closed.

On December 4, 2006, December 29, 2006, March 14, 2007 and April 24, 2007, four lawsuits were served, seeking unspecified monetary damages against DynCorp International LLC and several of its former affiliates in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida, concerning the spraying of narcotic plant crops along the Colombian border adjacent to Ecuador. Three of the lawsuits, filed on behalf of the Provinces of Esmeraldas, Sucumbíos, and Carchi in Ecuador, allege violations of Ecuadorian law, international law, and statutory and common law tort violations, including negligence, trespass, and nuisance. The fourth lawsuit, filed on behalf of citizens of the Ecuadorian provinces of Esmeraldas and Sucumbíos, alleges personal injury, various counts of negligence, trespass, battery, assault, intentional infliction of emotional distress, violations of

 

116


the Alien Tort Claims Act and various violations of international law. The four lawsuits were consolidated, and based on our motion granted by the court, the case was subsequently transferred to the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. On March 26, 2008, a First Amended Consolidated Complaint was filed that identified 3,266 individual plaintiffs. As of January 12, 2010, 1,256 of the plaintiffs have been dismissed by court orders and, on September 15, 2010, the Provinces of Esmeraldas, Sucumbíos, and Carchi were dismissed by court order. The amended complaint does not demand any specific monetary damages; however, a court decision against us, although we believe to be remote, could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition, if we are unable to seek reimbursement from the DoS. The aerial spraying operations were and continue to be managed by us under a DoS contract in cooperation with the Colombian government. The DoS contract provides indemnification to us against third-party liabilities arising out of the contract, subject to available funding.

A lawsuit filed on September 11, 2001, and amended on March 24, 2008, seeking unspecified damages on behalf of twenty-six residents of the Sucumbíos Province in Ecuador, was brought against our operating company and several of its former affiliates in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. The action alleges violations of the laws of nations and U.S. treaties, negligence, emotional distress, nuisance, battery, trespass, strict liability, and medical monitoring arising from the spraying of herbicides near the Ecuador-Colombia border in connection with the performance of the DoS, International Narcotics and Law Enforcement contract for the eradication of narcotic plant crops in Colombia. As of January 12, 2010, fifteen of the plaintiffs have been dismissed by court order. The terms of the DoS contract provide that the DoS will indemnify our operating company against third-party liabilities arising out of the contract, subject to available funding. We are also entitled to indemnification by Computer Sciences Corporation in connection with this lawsuit, subject to certain limitations. Additionally, any damage award would have to be apportioned between the other defendants and our operating company. We believe that the likelihood of an unfavorable judgment in this matter is remote and that, even if that were to occur, the judgment is unlikely to result in a material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition as a result of the third party indemnification and apportionment of damages described above.

Arising out of the litigation described in the preceding two paragraphs, on September 22, 2008, we filed a separate lawsuit against our aviation insurance carriers seeking defense and coverage of the referenced claims. On November 9, 2009, the court granted our Partial Motion for Summary Judgment regarding the duty to defend, and the carriers have paid the majority of the litigation expenses. In a related action, the carriers filed a lawsuit against us on February 5, 2009, seeking rescission of certain aviation insurance policies based on an alleged misrepresentation by us concerning the existence of certain of the lawsuits relating to the eradication of narcotic plant crops. On May 19, 2010, our aviation insurance carriers filed a complaint against us seeking reformation of previously provided insurance policies and the elimination of coverage for aerial spraying. The Company believes that the claims asserted by the insurance carriers are without merit and we will defend against them vigorously.

In November 2009, a U.S. grand jury indicted one of our subcontractors on the Logistics Civil Augmentation Program (“LOGCAP IV”) contract, Agility, on charges of fraud and conspiracy, alleging that it overcharged the U.S. Army on $8.5 billion worth of contracts to provide food to soldiers in Iraq, Kuwait and Jordan. These allegations were in no way related to the work performed under LOGCAP IV. Effective December 16, 2009, we removed Agility as a subcontractor on the LOGCAP IV contract and terminated the work under existing task orders. In April 2010, Agility filed an arbitration demand, asserting claims for breach of a joint venture agreement, breach of fiduciary duty and unjust enrichment. Agility is seeking a declaration that it is entitled to a 30% share of the LOGCAP IV fees over the life of the contract. We believe our right to remove Agility was justified and no joint venture agreement exists between the parties. The case is currently in arbitration. We believe the case is without merit and we intend to vigorously defend against Agility’s claims, however, based on the size of the LOGCAP IV contract and Agility’s claim, a negative outcome may have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

A lawsuit was filed against us on March 22, 2010, and amended on July 16, 2010, by T.E. Security Consultants, LLC (“T.E.”). The lawsuit was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia and seeks unspecified damages related to an alleged teaming agreement and subcontract to support a DoS Worldwide Personal Protection Services Air Ops Task Order. The complaint claims breach of contract, unjust enrichment/quantum meruit, fraud, constructive fraud, and misappropriation of trade secrets. The court dismissed the fraud and constructive fraud claims on August 17, 2010. No amounts were accrued on this matter as of April 2, 2010.

Litigation Relating to the Merger

On April 16, 2010, a putative class action complaint was commenced against us, the Company and its directors, Cerberus, and Cerberus’ acquisition entities in the Delaware Court. In this action, captioned Shawn K. Naito v. DynCorp International Inc. et al., C.A. No. 5419–VCS, the plaintiff purported to bring the action on behalf of the public stockholders of the Company, and sought, among other things, equitable relief, to enjoin the consummation of the Merger, and fees and costs. Plaintiff alleged in the complaint that the Company’s directors breached their fiduciary duties by, among other things, agreeing to the proposed Merger in which the consideration was unfair and inadequate, failing to take steps to maximize stockholder value, and putting

 

117


their own interests above those of our stockholders. The complaint further alleged that Cerberus, Parent and Merger Sub aided and abetted the directors’ alleged breaches of their fiduciary duties. On May 7, 2010, the Company and its directors filed an answer that denied the material substantive allegations of the complaint. On May 10, 2010, we, Cerberus and its acquisition entities filed an answer that denied the material substantive allegations of the complaint. On May 14, 2010, plaintiff filed a motion to amend its complaint to assert certain alleged failures of disclosure in the Company’s preliminary proxy statement previously filed with the SEC. Such motion was granted by the Court on May 18, 2010. The proposed amended complaint continued to challenge the Company’s Board’s discharge of its fiduciary duties in connection with the negotiation of the Merger, and on June 2, 2010, the Company and its directors, as well as we, Cerberus and its acquisition entities, filed respective answers denying the material substantive allegations of the amended complaint. On May 17, 2010, plaintiff filed a motion for a preliminary injunction of the Merger. Along with counsel to plaintiff in the Meehan action described below, counsel for the parties in the Naito action entered into a memorandum of understanding on June 17, 2010, by which plaintiff agreed to dismiss the class action with prejudice and to release all claims and allegations against us, the Company and its directors Cerberus and the Cerberus acquisition entities arising out of or related to the amended complaint, the Merger or the Merger Agreement, allegations made in the Meehan action described below, any claim that we, the Company and its directors Cerberus or the Cerberus acquisition entities failed to take adequate steps to protect the interests of the Company’s stockholders regarding the Merger. Although that we continued to deny the allegations, in exchange for the dismissal of the action and release of claims and allegations, the Company caused Definitive Additional Proxy Materials in Schedule 14A to be filed on July 17, 2010 with the SEC and to be mailed to our stockholders on July 18, 2010. On July 30, 2010, the parties entered into and filed with the Court a stipulation memorializing these terms. On October 13, 2010, the Court approved the stipulation and the settlement terms, including the awarding of $525,000 in attorney fees and expenses to plaintiff’s counsel, and entered a judgment dismissing the action with prejudice that day.

On April 30, 2010, the Company and its directors and Cerberus’ acquisition entities were named as defendants in a putative class action complaint, captioned Kevin V. Meehan v. Robert McKeon et al., C.A. No. 1:10CV 446, filed in the U.S. District Court in the Eastern District of Virginia. In the complaint, the plaintiff purported to represent a class of stockholders and sought, among other things, equitable relief, including to enjoin us, the Company and Cerberus’ acquisition entities from consummating the Merger, in addition to fees and costs. Plaintiff alleged in the complaint that the Company’s directors breached their fiduciary duties by, among other things, failing to engage in an honest and fair sale process. The complaint further alleged that the Company and Cerberus’ acquisition entities aided and abetted the directors’ purported breaches. On May 17, 2010 plaintiff filed an amended complaint asserting claims under Section 14a of the Exchange Act, challenging disclosures and alleged omissions in the Company’s proxy statement. On May 19, 2010 plaintiff filed a motion to expedite the case. On May 21, 2010 defendants filed a motion to dismiss the amended complaint and, on May 24, 2010, filed a motion for abstention, asking the court to abstain from proceeding with the case in favor of the substantively similar and earlier-filed action in Delaware described above. On May 27, 2010, the court denied plaintiff’s motion to expedite discovery. Following denial of the plaintiff’s motion to expedite discovery in this action, plaintiff’s counsel agreed to coordinate his discovery efforts with the plaintiffs in the Delaware Naito action. Upon entering into the memorandum of understanding described above, the parties jointly requested the Court to stay the Meehan action while they endeavored to finalize the global settlement. The Court granted that stay, and later entered an order dismissing the Meehan action with prejudice on October 18, 2010.

U.S. Government Investigations

We primarily sell our services to the U.S. government. These contracts are subject to extensive legal and regulatory requirements, and we are occasionally the subject of investigations by various agencies of the U.S. government who investigate whether our operations are being conducted in accordance with these requirements, including as previously disclosed in our periodic filings, the Special Inspector General for Iraq Reconstruction report regarding certain reimbursements and the U.S. Department of State Office of Inspector General’s records subpoena with respect to Civilian Police (“CivPol”). Such investigations, whether related to our U.S. government contracts or conducted for other reasons, could result in administrative, civil or criminal liabilities, including repayments, fines or penalties being imposed upon us, or could lead to suspension or debarment from future U.S. government contracting. U.S. government investigations often take years to complete and many result in no adverse action against us. We do not believe that any adverse actions arising from such matters would have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, consolidated financial condition or liquidity over the long term.

On September 17, 2008, the U.S. Department of State Office of Inspector General (“OIG”) served us with a records subpoena for the production of documents relating to our Civilian Police Program in Iraq. Among other items, the subpoena sought documents relating to our business dealings with a former subcontractor, Corporate Bank. We have been cooperating with the OIG’s investigation. In October 2009, we were notified by the Department of Justice that this investigation is being done in connection with a qui tam litigation brought by a private individual on behalf of the U.S. government and our conversations with the Department of Justice regarding this matter are ongoing. The complaint remains under seal. If our operations are found to be in violation of any laws or government regulations, we may be subject to penalties, damages or fines, any or all of which could adversely affect our financial results.

 

118


As previously disclosed in our periodic filings, we identified certain payments made on our behalf by two subcontractors to expedite the issuance of a limited number of visas and licenses from a foreign government’s agencies that may raise compliance issues under the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. We retained outside counsel to investigate these payments. In November 2009, we voluntarily brought this matter to the attention of the U.S. Department of Justice and the SEC. We are cooperating with the government’s review of this matter. We are also continuing our evaluation of our internal policies and procedures. We cannot predict the ultimate consequences of this matter at this time, nor can we reasonably estimate the potential liability, if any, related to this matter. However, based on the facts currently known, we do not believe that this matter will have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flow.

On August 16, 2005, we were served with a Department of Justice Federal Grand Jury Subpoena seeking documents concerning work performed by a former subcontractor, Al Ghabban in 2002-2005. Specifically, during the 2002-2005 timeframe, Al Ghabban performed line haul trucking work to transport materials throughout the Middle Eastern theater on the War Reserve Materiel Program. In response to the subpoena in 2005, we provided the requested documents to the Department of Justice, and the matter was subsequently closed in 2005 without any action taken. In April 2009, we received a follow up telephone call concerning this matter from the Department of Justice Civil Litigation Division. Since that time, we have had several discussions with the government regarding the civil matter. In response to recent requests, we have provided additional information to the Department of Justice Civil Litigation Division. We are fully cooperating with the government’s review. If our operations are found to be in violation of any laws or government regulations, we may be subject to penalties, damages or fines, any or all of which could adversely affect our financial results.

U.S. Government Audits

Our contracts are regularly audited by the Defense Contract Audit Agency (“DCAA”) and other government agencies. These agencies review our contract performance, cost structure and compliance with applicable laws, regulations and standards. The government also reviews the adequacy of, and our compliance with, our internal control systems and policies, including our purchasing, property, estimating, compensation and management information systems. Any costs found to be improperly allocated to a specific contract will not be reimbursed. In addition, government contract payments received by us for allowable direct and indirect costs are subject to adjustment after audit by government auditors and repayment to the government if the payments exceed allowable costs as defined in the government contracts.

The Defense Contract Management Agency (“DCMA”) formally notified us of non-compliance with Cost Accounting Standard 403, Allocation of Home Office Expenses to Segments, on April 11, 2007. We issued a response to the DCMA on April 26, 2007 with a proposed solution to resolve the area of non-compliance, which related to the allocation of corporate general and administrative costs between our divisions. On August 13, 2007, the DCMA notified us that additional information would be necessary to justify the proposed solution. We issued responses on September 17, 2007, April 28, 2008 and September 10, 2009 and the matter is pending resolution. Based on facts currently known, we do not believe the matters described in this and the preceding paragraph will have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition.

We were under audit by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) for employment taxes covering the years 2005 through 2007. In the course of the audit process, the IRS had questioned our treatment of exempting from U.S. employment taxes all U.S. residents working abroad for some of our foreign subsidiaries. We do not have any reserves for periods subsequent to 2007 related to this employment tax issue.

Contract Matters

In 2009, we terminated for cause a contract to build the Akwa Ibom International Airport for the State of Akwa Ibom in Nigeria. Consequently, we terminated certain subcontracts and purchase orders the customer advised us it did not want to assume. Based on our experience with this particular Nigerian state government customer, we believe the customer may challenge our termination of the contract for cause and initiate legal action against us. Our termination of certain subcontracts not assumed by the customer, including our actions to recover against advance payment and performance guarantees established by the subcontractors for our benefit is being challenged in certain instances. Although we believe our right to terminate this contract and such subcontracts was justified and permissible under the terms of the contracts, and we intend to vigorously contest any claims brought against us arising out of such terminations, if courts were to conclude that we were not entitled to terminate one or more of the contracts and damages were assessed against us, such damages could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition. At this time, any such damages are not estimable.

Credit Risk

We are subject to concentrations of credit risk primarily by virtue of our accounts receivable. Departments and agencies of the U.S. federal government account for all but minor portions of our customer base, minimizing this credit risk. Furthermore, we continuously review all accounts receivable and recorded provisions for doubtful accounts.

 

119


Risk Management Liabilities and Reserves

We are insured for domestic worker’s compensation liabilities and a significant portion of our employee medical costs. However, we bear risk for a portion of claims pursuant to the terms of the applicable insurance contracts. We account for these programs based on actuarial estimates of the amount of loss inherent in that period’s claims, including losses for which claims have not been reported. These loss estimates rely on actuarial observations of ultimate loss experience for similar historical events. We limit our risk by purchasing stop-loss insurance policies for significant claims incurred for both domestic worker’s compensation liabilities and medical costs. Our exposure under the stop-loss policies for domestic worker’s compensation and medical costs is limited based on fixed dollar amounts. For domestic worker’s compensation and employer’s liability under state and federal law, the fixed-dollar amount of stop-loss coverage is $1.0 million per occurrence on most policies; but, $0.25 million on a California based policy. For medical costs, the fixed dollar amount of stop-loss coverage is from $0.25 million to $0.75 million for total costs per covered participant per calendar year.

Note 8 — Equity

Treasury Shares

In fiscal year 2009, our Board of Directors authorized us to repurchase up to $25.0 million of our common stock and/or senior subordinated notes during fiscal years 2010 and 2009, respectively. Under this authorization, the securities could be repurchased from time to time in the open market or through privately negotiated transactions at our discretion, subject to market conditions, and in accordance with applicable federal and state securities laws and regulations.

During fiscal year 2010, we purchased 54,900 shares for $0.7 million. We also issued 34,296 shares to settle vested RSUs in fiscal year 2010. We have 713,804 treasury shares as of April 2, 2010. The board approval ended on April 2, 2010. The repurchases of senior subordinated notes is discussed in Note 6.

Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss

Our accumulated other comprehensive loss balance included unrealized foreign currency losses and interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges as of April 2, 2010. The balance in accumulated other comprehensive loss related to unrealized foreign currency losses, net of tax, was $0.4 million as of April 2, 2010. The balance in accumulated other comprehensive loss related to interest rate swaps, net of tax, was $0.7 million as of April 2, 2010.

Note 9 — Interest Rate Derivatives

As of April 2, 2010, our derivative instruments consisted of two interest rate swap agreements, both of which had expired as of July 2, 2010. The $168.6 million derivative is designated as a cash flow hedge that effectively fixed the interest rate on the applicable notional amount of our variable rate debt. The $31.4 million swap derivative did not qualify for hedge accounting as it was fully dedesignated as of April 2, 2010.

During the fiscal quarter ended July 2, 2010 we paid $1.6 million in net settlements and incurred $1.1 million of expenses which was recorded in interest expense. During fiscal year 2010, we paid $8.9 million in net settlements and incurred $8.3 million of expenses, of which $7.8 million was recorded to interest expense and $0.5 million was recorded to other (loss)/income.

Amounts are reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income into earnings as net cash settlements occur, changes from quarterly derivative valuations are updated, new circumstances dictating the disqualification of hedge accounting and adjustments for cumulative ineffectiveness are recorded.

As of April 2, 2010, we estimate that $1.1 million of losses associated with the interest rate swap related to $168.6 million of notional debt included in accumulated other comprehensive income will be reclassified into earnings over the remaining life of the derivative which expired in May 2010. The other interest rate swap does not qualify for hedge accounting and has been marked to market, which generated a $0.2 million liability as of April 2, 2010. See Note 14 for fair value disclosures associated with these derivatives.

Note 10 — Equity-Based Compensation

In accordance with ASC 718 — Compensation-Stock Compensation, we recognized compensation expense related to RSUs on a graded schedule over the requisite service period, net of estimated forfeitures. Under this method, we recorded equity-based compensation expense of $3.5 million and $2.9 million for the fiscal quarter ended July 2, 2010 and for the fiscal year ended April 2, 2010, respectively. As of April 2, 2010, we had provided equity-based compensation through the granting of Class B interests in DIV Holding LLC, and the granting of RSUs under our 2007 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “2007 Plan”). In connection with the Merger on July 7, 2010, all outstanding Class B interests and restricted stock units vested.

Class B Equity

Between fiscal years 2006 and 2009, certain members of our management and outside directors were granted Class B interests in DIV Holding LLC. DIV Holding LLC conducted no operations and was established for the purpose of holding equity in our Company. As of July 2, 2010 and April 2, 2010, the aggregate individual grants owned by current and former management and directors represented approximately 4.6% and 4.6% of the ownership in DIV Holding LLC, respectively. The vested ownership percentage in DIV Holding LLC by Class B members totaled 4.3% and 4.3% as of July 2, 2010 and April 2, 2010, respectively.

The Class B interests were subject to either four-year or five-year graded vesting schedules with any unvested interest reverting to the holders of Class A interests in the event they were forfeited or repurchased. Class B interests were granted with no exercise price or expiration date. Pursuant to the terms of the operating agreement governing DIV Holding LLC, the holders of Class B interests were entitled to receive their respective ownership proportional interest of all distributions made by DIV Holding LLC provided the holders of the Class A interests had received an 8% per annum internal rate of return on their invested capital. Additionally, DIV Holding’s operating agreement limited Class B interests to 7.5% in the aggregate. In connection with the Merger on July 7, 2010, all Class B interests vested.

The grant date fair value of the Class B interest granted through fiscal year 2010 was $18.3 million. We performed a fair value analysis of the Class B interests granted prior to the initial public offering (“IPO”) using a discounted cash flow technique to arrive at a fair value of the Class B interest of $7.6 million at March 31, 2006. For the Class B interests issued prior to the IPO, our fair value analysis was based on a market value model that included the impact of the DIV Holding LLC ownership percentage, the remaining preference to Class A holders, and a discount for lack of marketability. The discount for lack of marketability for each grant was estimated on the date of grant using the Black- Scholes-Merton put-call parity relationship computation with the following weighted average assumptions for periods as indicated below. For the Class B interests issued after the IPO, our fair value analysis was based on a market value model that included the aforementioned variables as well as the impact of our stock price and outstanding common shares.

(1) There were no grants of Class B interests in fiscal year 2010.

Since these Class B interests were redeemed through our outstanding stock held by DIV Holding LLC or cash, no potential dilutive effect existed in relation to these interests. Additionally, DIV Holding LLC had the responsibility to settle the Class B interests, therefore vested Class B interests were never our liabilities. DIV Holding LLC held 20,899,034 of our 56,286,196 outstanding shares of stock at April 2, 2010. Class B activity, for the fiscal quarter ended July 2, 2010 and the fiscal year ended April 2, 2010 is summarized in the table below:

2007 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan

In August 2007, our stockholders approved the adoption of the 2007 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan. The 2007 Plan provided for the grant of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock and other share-based awards. Our employees, employees of our subsidiaries and non-employee members of the Board were eligible to be selected to participate in the 2007 Plan at the discretion of the Compensation Committee.

Starting in fiscal year 2008, the Compensation Committee approved the grant of RSUs to certain key employees. The RSUs had assigned value equivalent to our common stock and could be settled in cash or shares of our common stock at the discretion of the Compensation Committee. The first performance based RSUs were granted in fiscal year 2009 with similar terms, except for performance criteria.

During fiscal year 2010, we granted 36,550 service based RSUs and 571,900 performance based RSUs to certain key employees. The performance based RSU awards are tied to our financial performance, specifically fiscal year 2011 EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization), and cliff vest upon achievement of this target. The payouts are scaled based on actual performance results with a potential payout range of 50% to 150%. Based on current estimates, the costs of these awards are being accrued with the expectation of a 100% achievement of the performance goal.

In addition to employee grants, 14,706 service-based RSUs were granted to Board members. These awards vest within one year of grant, but include a post-vesting restriction of six months after the applicable directors’ Board service ends. The RSUs have assigned value equivalent to our common stock and may be settled in cash or shares of our common stock at the discretion of the Compensation Committee of the Board.

As of July 2, 2010, 17,395 units were vested but unsettled, including 1,600 RSUs that vested during the first quarter ended July 2, 2010.

The estimated fair value of the RSUs, net of forfeitures, was approximately $13.1 million as of April 2, 2010 based on the closing market price of our stock on the grant date.

These settlements were made net of payroll tax withholding.

Note 12 — Related Parties, Joint Ventures and Variable Interest Entities

Management Fee

We historically paid Veritas an annual management fee of $0.3 million plus expenses to provide us with general business management, financial, strategic and consulting services. We paid $0.1 million and $0.5 million to Veritas for the fiscal quarter ended July 2, 2010 and the fiscal year ended April 2, 2010, respectively. Our obligation to pay this fee was terminated on July 7, 2010 due to the change of control resulting from the Merger. See Note 20.

Variable Interest Entities

We own an interest in five active VIEs, all of which are joint ventures. These are listed as follows: (i) 40% owned Partnership for Temporary Housing LLC (“PaTH”); (ii) 45% owned Contingency Response LLC (“CRS”); (iii) 44% owned Babcock DynCorp Limited (“Babcock”) (iv) 51% owned GLS; (v) and 50% owned DynCorp International FZ-LLC (“DIFZ”). We do not encounter any significant risk through our involvement in our VIEs outside the normal course of our business.

GLS is a joint venture formed in August 2006 with one partner, McNeil Technologies, for the purpose of procuring government contracts with the U.S. Army. We incur significant costs on behalf of GLS related to the normal operations of the venture. However, these costs typically support revenue billable to our customer. GLS assets and liabilities were $125.4 million and $115.1 million as of April 2, 2010, respectively. GLS revenue was $149.3 million and $734.1 million during the fiscal year quarter ended July 2, 2010 and the fiscal year ended April 2, 2010, respectively.

In July 2008 Palm Trading Investment Corp. (“Palm”) purchased a 50% interest in DIFZ. After the sale, we retained virtually all power over DIFZ to direct activities that significantly impact DIFZ’s economic performance and remained as sole customer allowing the Company to exert power over significant activities. Also, we will absorb the majority of expected losses or gains from the venture, based on the terms of the sale agreement. Thus, we have concluded that we were the primary beneficiary.

DIFZ provides foreign staffing, human resources and payroll services. We incur significant costs on behalf of DIFZ related to the normal operations. The vast majority of these costs are considered direct contract costs and thus billable on the various corresponding contracts supported by DIFZ services. DIFZ total assets and total liabilities were $52.2 million and $50.2 million at April 2, 2010, respectively. Additionally, DIFZ revenue was $95.0 million for the fiscal quarter ended July 2, 2010 and $407.0 million for the fiscal years ended April 2, 2010. These intercompany revenue and costs are eliminated in consolidation.

PaTH is a joint venture formed in May 2006 with two other partners for the purpose of procuring government contracts with the Federal Emergency Management Authority. CRS is a joint venture formed in March 2006 with two other partners for the purpose of procuring government contracts with the U.S. Navy. Babcock is a Joint Venture formed in January 2005 and currently provides services to the British Ministry of Defense. Mission Readiness joint venture was recently created with only the back office operations functioning.

We accounted for GLS, PaTH, CRS, and Babcock as equity method investments based on our share of (i) the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact its economic performance and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE that could potentially be significant or the right to receive benefits from the entity that could potentially be significant to the VIE. Alternatively, we consolidated DIFZ based on the abovementioned criteria. Current assets and total assets for our equity method investees as of April 2, 2010 totaled $65.7 million and $65.7 million, respectively. Current liabilities and total liabilities as of April 2, 2010 was $45.9 million and $49.3 million, respectively. Revenue for the equity method investees for the fiscal quarter ended July 2, 2010 and for the fiscal year ended April 2, 2010 was $37.3 million and $179.9 million, respectively. Net income for the equity method investees for the fiscal quarter ended July 2, 2010 and for the fiscal year ended April 2, 2010 was $1.1 million and $8.8 million, respectively.

In the aggregate, our maximum exposure to losses as a result of our investment in VIEs consists of our $7.7 million investment in unconsolidated subsidiaries, $5.2 million in receivables from our joint ventures, working capital funding to GLS as well as contingent liabilities that are neither probable nor reasonably estimable as of April 2, 2010. While the amount of funding we provided to GLS could significantly due to timing of payments to vendors and collections from its customer, the average balance over the 12 months ended April 2, 2010 was approximately $24.5 million.

Joint Ventures

Amounts due from our unconsolidated joint ventures totaled $10.6 million and $5.2 million as of July 2, 2010 and April 2, 2010, respectively. These receivables are a result of items purchased and services rendered by us on behalf of our unconsolidated joint ventures. We have assessed these receivables as having minimal collection risk based on our historic experience with these joint ventures and our inherent influence through our ownership interest. The change in these receivables

 

128


from April 3, 2009 to April 2, 2010 resulted in a use of operating cash for the fiscal year ended April 2, 2010 of approximately $2.6 million. The change in these receivables from April 2, 2010 to July 2, 2010 resulted in a use of operating cash for the fiscal quarter ended July 2, 2010 of approximately $5.4 million. The related revenue we earned from our unconsolidated joint ventures totaled $5.4 million and $5.3 million for the fiscal quarter ended July 2, 2010 and the fiscal year ended April 2, 2010. Additionally, we earned $0.7 million and $5.2 million in equity method income for the fiscal quarter ended July 2, 2010 and fiscal year ended April 2, 2010, respectively.

As of July 2, 2010, we held three promissory notes from Palm, which had an aggregate initial value of $9.7 million as a result of the sales price. The notes are included in (i) Prepaid expenses and other current assets and in (ii) Other assets on our audited consolidated balance sheet for the short and long-term portions, respectively. The loan balance outstanding was $8.1 million as of April 2, 2010 reflecting the initial value plus accrued interest, less payments against the promissory notes. The fair value of the notes receivable is not materially different from its carrying value.

Note 13 — Collaborative Arrangements

We participate in a collaborative arrangement with our partner on the LOGCAP IV program. During fiscal year 2010, we executed a subcontract with CH2M Hill with respect to operations on the LOGCAP IV program, which is considered a collaborative arrangement under GAAP. The purpose of this arrangement is to share some of the risks and rewards associated with this U.S. government contract. Our current share of profits is 70%.

We account for this collaborative arrangement under ASC 808 — Collaborative Arrangements and record revenue gross as the prime contractor. The cash inflows and outflows, as well as expenses incurred, are recorded in Cost of services in the period realized. Revenue on LOGCAP IV was $283.8 million and $583.2 million for the fiscal quarter ended July 2, 2010 and for the fiscal year ended April 2, 2010, respectively. Cost of services on LOGCAP IV was $270.9 million and $554.2 million for the fiscal quarter ended July 2, 2010 and for the fiscal year ended April 2, 2010, respectively. Our share of LOGCAP IV profits/losses was $4.0 million and $9.4 million during the fiscal quarter ended July 2, 2010 and for the fiscal year ended April 2, 2010, respectively.

Note 14 — Fair Value of Financial Assets and Liabilities

ASC 820 — Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. These tiers include:

 

   

Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets;

 

   

Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable; and

 

   

Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions.

As of April 2, 2010, we held certain assets that are required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis. These included the following:

 

   

Cash equivalents including restricted cash which consists of petty cash, cash in-bank and short-term, highly liquid, income-producing investments with original maturities of 90 days or less. This is categorized as a Level 1 input.

We formerly had contingent earn-out compensation listed as a level-3 liability. The amount due (zero) changed from a contingency to a known amount as of December 31, 2010 and was removed from the fair value table below.

Our assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis subject to the disclosure requirements of ASC 820 as of April 2, 2010 were as follows:

Note 15 — Acquisitions

Phoenix Consulting Group, Inc.

On October 18, 2009, we acquired 100% of the outstanding shares of Phoenix, a leading provider of intelligence training, consultative and augmentation services to a wide range of U.S. government organizations. This acquisition is consistent with our goal of accelerating growth, expanding service offerings and penetrating new segments. It extends our ability to deliver compelling services to the intelligence community and national security clients. The Company funded the purchase price with cash on hand.

 

130


Phoenix has been incorporated into the GSDS operating segment as its own strategic business area representing a new service offering for us. Revenue from October 2, 2009 through April 2, 2010 totaled $13.0 million. The associated operating income was immaterial.

The purchase price is comprised of the following three elements:

 

(Amounts in thousands)    Purchase Elements

Total purchase price

   $ 42,374   
  

 

 

 

The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination pursuant to ASC 805 — Business Combinations. In accordance with ASC 805, the purchase price has been allocated to assets and liabilities based on their estimated fair value at the acquisition date. The following table represents the allocation of the purchase price to the acquired assets and liabilities and resulting goodwill:

Management allocated the purchase price for the acquisition based on estimates of the fair values of the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed. We utilized recognized valuation techniques, including the income approach and cost approach for intangible assets and the cost approach for tangible assets.

The carrying amount of receivables approximates fair value as the acquired receivables are short-term in nature and have high probability of collection. There were no significant receivables determined to be uncollectable as of the date of the acquisition. Given that Phoenix only served the U.S. government, we believe the impact of any uncollected receivables would be immaterial to our consolidated financial statements.

The purchase price includes $4.4 million held in escrow for indemnification liabilities (as defined by the stock purchase agreement) of the seller, $3.4 million of which (less any amounts applied to claims) is expected to be released in March 2011. The final $1.0 million will be released in September 2013 (less any amount applied to claims). The seller’s indemnification obligations are capped at the total purchase price. In accordance with the indemnification obligations set forth in the purchase agreement, we recorded an indemnification asset of $2.5 million related to an uncertain income tax position and a payroll tax liability.

Acquired intangible assets of $12.4 million consisted of customer relationships, non-compete agreements, training materials, software, and tradename. The amortization period for these intangible assets ranges from two to ten years. We recorded $0.7 million in amortization in fiscal year 2010 covering the period of October 19, 2009 through April 2, 2010. The major classes of intangible assets valued as of the October 19, 2009 acquisition date are as follows:

The goodwill arising from the acquisition consists largely of expectations that Phoenix extends our ability to deliver compelling services to national security clients and the intelligence community. Additionally, our infrastructure and capabilities increase resources for Phoenix and provide a strong foundation for growth. The goodwill recognized is not deductible for tax purposes.

We recognized $0.7 million of acquisition related costs that were expensed in the second quarter in fiscal year 2010 and are included in selling, general and administrative expenses in our consolidated statements of operations for the fiscal year ended April 2, 2010.

The Phoenix stock purchase agreement provides for earn-out payments ranging from a minimum of zero to a maximum of $5.0 million contingent upon the achievement of certain revenue and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization targets for the calendar year ending December 31, 2010. Approximately 80% of this payout is considered contingent purchase consideration and the other portion is considered contingent compensation. The fair value of the contingent purchase consideration arrangement was determined to be $1.1 million as of April 2, 2010 using the latest weighted fiscal year 2010 forecasts discounted based on our weighted average cost of capital. As such, we recorded a $1.7 million reduction to the earn-out liability resulting in an increase to Other income, net. Subsequent changes in the fair value of the contingent earn-out liability will be recorded in earnings.

In addition to the purchase price, we agreed with the seller to pay $7.5 million into an escrow account for retention bonuses for key Phoenix employees. The retention bonuses will be paid upon completion of the individual retention periods ranging from March 2011 to October 2012. Additionally, termination without cause, termination by reason of death or disability or resignation for good reason will result in an accelerated retention payment. Alternatively, if the employee resigns or is terminated for cause prior to completion of the retention period he/she forfeits either all or a portion of their retention bonus. One retention employee was terminated without cause in the third quarter of fiscal year 2010 which triggered a $1.7 million payment and related expense. The remainder of the deferred compensation expense will be amortized from periods ranging from 17 to 36 months after the acquisition date, over the requisite vesting periods. The remaining $5.8 million is expected to be paid in March 2011.

Casals and Associates, Inc

On January 22, 2010, we acquired 100% of the outstanding shares of Casals, a provider of management consulting services in the areas of democracy and governance, rule of law and justice, conflict management and recovery, anti-corruption and strategic communication to a wide range of U.S. government organizations. This acquisition is consistent with our goal of accelerating growth, expanding service offerings and penetrating new segments. We funded the purchase price with cash on hand.

Casals has been incorporated into the GSDS operating segment. Revenue since the acquisition totaled $4.1 million through April 2, 2010. The associated operating income has been immaterial.

The purchase price is comprised of the following elements:

Total estimated purchase price

   $ 6,667   
  

 

 

 

The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination pursuant to ASC 805 — Business Combinations. In accordance with ASC 805, the purchase price has been allocated to assets and liabilities based on their estimated fair value at the acquisition date. The following table represents the allocation of the purchase price to the acquired assets and liabilities and resulting goodwill:

Goodwill

   $ 3,458   
  

 

 

 

The $6.7 million dollar purchase price includes an estimated working capital adjustment of $0.8 million, which will be finalized in fiscal year 2011. The goodwill arising from the acquisition consists largely of expectations that Casals extends our ability to deliver services to new clients in the international development community. Additionally, our infrastructure and capabilities increase resources for Casals and provide a strong foundation for growth. The goodwill recognized is deductible for tax purposes as this business combination was treated as an asset acquisition in accordance with our 338(h)(10) election for tax purposes.

Management allocated the purchase price for the acquisition based on estimates of the fair values of the tangible assets and liabilities assumed. We utilized recognized valuation techniques, including the income approach and cost approach for intangible assets and the cost approach for tangible assets.

We recognized $0.6 million of acquisition related costs that were incurred in the third and fourth quarters and are included in selling, general and administrative expenses in our consolidated statements of operations for the fiscal year ended April 2, 2010.

The carrying amount of receivables approximates fair value as the acquired receivables are short-term in nature and have high probability of collection. There were no significant receivables determined to be uncollectable as of the date of the acquisition. Given that that majority of Casals receivables are with the U.S. government, we believe the impact of any uncollected receivables would be immaterial to our consolidated financial statements.

The purchase price includes $1.0 million held in escrow for indemnification liabilities of the seller. The escrow amount (less any amounts applied to claims) is expected to be released to the seller on or about September 22, 2011. The seller’s indemnification obligations are capped at $1.1 million.

Note 16 — Segment and Geographic Information

We have three reportable segments, Global Stabilization and Development Solutions, Global Platform Support Solutions, and Global Linguist Solutions. Our GPSS operating segment provides services domestically and in foreign countries under contracts with the U.S. government and some foreign customers, whereas our GSDS and GLS operating segments primarily provide services in foreign countries with the U.S. government as the primary customer. All three segments operate principally within a regulatory environment subject to governmental contracting and accounting requirements, including Federal Acquisition Regulations, Cost Accounting Standards and audits by various U.S. federal agencies.

Certain reclassifications have been made to the historical financial data to conform to our current year presentation. In order to realign measurement of true business performance with segment presentation, we excluded certain costs that are not directly allocable to business units from the segment results and included these costs in headquarters. Prior year amounts have been reclassified so information presented is consistent and comparable in all periods presented below.

Note 17 — Consolidating Financial Information of Subsidiary Guarantors

As discussed in Note 20, on July 7, 2010, DynCorp International, Inc. (“Parent”) completed a merger with Delta Tucker Sub, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Delta Tucker Holdings, Inc. In connection with the Merger, substantially all of the outstanding pre-merger debt was extinguished and a new Senior Credit Facility and new Senior Unsecured Notes were issued.

As of the date of the Merger, these Senior Unsecured Notes and the Credit Facility are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, by the Parent and all of its domestic subsidiaries: DynCorp International LLC, DTS Aviation Services LLC, DynCorp Aerospace Operations LLC, DynCorp International Services LLC, DIV Capital Corporation, Dyn Marine Services of Virginia LLC, Services International LLC, Worldwide Humanitarian Services LLC, Worldwide Recruiting and Staffing Services LLC, Phoenix Consulting Group LLC and Casals and Associates Inc.

Note 19 — Restatement

We have restated our consolidated statements of operations and cash flows for the fiscal quarter ended July 2, 2010 and fiscal years ended April 2, 2010 and our consolidated balance sheet as of April 2, 2010 to correct the following errors. The identified errors were primarily associated with (i) unbilled receivables and related revenue primarily where an allowance for collection was not provided timely; (ii) certain accrued liabilities that were previously omitted in such consolidated financial statements; and (iii) adjustments necessary to correct errors identified in results of operations in an equity method investee.

Note 20 — Subsequent Events

We have evaluated subsequent events that occurred after the period end date through March 31, 2011, the date the financial statements were available to be issued.

Completion of Planned Merger

On July 7, 2010, DynCorp International completed a merger with Delta Tucker Sub, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Delta Tucker Holdings, Inc. Pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of April 11, 2010, Delta Tucker Sub, Inc. merged with and into DynCorp International, with DynCorp International becoming the surviving corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Delta Tucker Holdings, Inc. (the “Merger”). Holders of DynCorp International’s stock received $17.55 in cash for each outstanding share. As of that date, DynCorp International’s stock was no longer publicly traded. In connection with the Merger, substantially all of the outstanding pre-Merger debt was extinguished. Additionally, we issued a new Senior Credit Facility and new Senior Unsecured Notes.

GLS Deconsolidation

As a result of the Merger, we deconsolidated GLS effective July 7, 2010. We continued to consolidate GLS after the implementation of ASU 2009-17 through the date of the Merger based on the related party relationship between us and McNeil Technologies Inc. (“McNeil”), our GLS joint venture partner. Through the date of the Merger, our largest stockholder, Veritas, owned the majority of McNeil. This related party relationship ended on the date of Merger resulting in the deconsolidation of GLS on that date.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Managers of

Global Linguist Solutions LLC

Falls Church, Virginia

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Global Linguist Solutions LLC (the “Company”) as of December 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, and the related statements of income, members’ equity, and cash flows for the year ended December 30, 2011 and the nine month period ended December 31, 2010. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the auditing standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, such financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Global Linguist Solutions LLC as of December 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the year ended December 30, 2011 and the nine month period ended December 31, 2010, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company’s receipt of the Form 1 for the INSCOM contract and the continued uncertainty around its ability to win future task orders under the DLITE contract raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans concerning these matters are also discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared from the separate records maintained by Delta Tucker Holdings, Inc. and subsidiaries and may not necessarily be indicative of the conditions that would have existed or the results of operations if the Company had been operated as an unaffiliated entity. Portions of certain expenses represent allocations made from, and are applicable to, Delta Tucker Holdings, Inc. as a whole.

GLOBAL LINGUIST SOLUTIONS LLC

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1—Basis of Presentation and Accounting Policies

General

Global Linguist Solutions LLC (“the Company” or “GLS” or “Our” or “We” or “Us”) was incorporated on July 12, 2006 under the laws of the state of Delaware, with corporate headquarters in Falls Church, Virginia and is 51% owned by DynCorp International LLC (“DI”) and 49% owned by McNeil Technologies (“MT”).

INSCOM Contract

In December 2006, we were awarded the Intelligence and Security Command (“INSCOM”) contract by the U.S. Army for the management of linguist and translation services in support of the military mission known as Operation Iraqi Freedom (“OIF”). Under the contract, we provide rapid recruitment, deployment, and on-site management of interpreters and translators in-theater for a wide range of foreign languages in support of the U.S. Army, unified commands, attached forces, combined forces, joint elements executing the OIF mission, and other U.S. government agencies supporting the OIF mission. We earn revenue on the INSCOM contract based on allowable cost plus a 1.5% base fee plus estimated or actual award fee. Allowable costs associated with the contract include both direct and indirect costs. Award fees are awarded quarterly for a maximum of 6% of allowable costs and are based on four major components. These components are (i) fill-rate, (ii) quality of personnel, (iii) cost control management and (iv) small business participation. The award fee dollars are based on a graduated schedule of award fee score.

In July 2011, we were awarded, by the Department of the Army, a multiple-award Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (“IDIQ”) contract. We will be one of six providers that will compete for task orders on the $9.7 billion Defense Language Interpretation Translation Enterprise (“DLITE”) contract providing translation and interpretation services worldwide for Army personnel, among other services.

In October 2011, President Obama announced the end of the war in Iraq. The drawdown of troops began in the fourth quarter and was complete as of December 30, 2011. We have provided continued support of the OIF mission and historically have had no other operations outside of the INSCOM contract. As this mission comes to an end, we continue to pursue other business opportunities. Additionally, the DCAA issued a Form 1 in the amount of $95.9 million pertaining to potential inconsistencies of certain contractual requirements for the fiscal year ended April 3, 2009. As a result of the Form 1, our customer informed us it would withhold 15% of the amount of the Form 1 and has in fact withheld $14.1 million until this issue is resolved. On February 8, 2012, the DCAA issued GLS a second Form 1 in the amount of $102.0 million, asserting inconsistencies with labor related costs for the fiscal year ended April 3, 2009. The customer has withheld $5.0 million, until this issue is resolved. GLS does not agree with the DCAA’s findings on either of the Form 1s and is currently working with the DCAA and the customer to provide clarification and resolve both matters. We do not expect that recent events will impact our ability to successfully win task orders under the DLITE contract. We are working through the Form 1s issues and will continue to do so through the remainder of the calendar year 2012.

Going Concern

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming we will continue as a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. The issuance of the Form 1s on the INSCOM contract and the continued uncertainty around our ability to win future task orders under the DLITE contract raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments to the carrying amount and classification of recorded assets and liabilities should we be unable to continue operations. As mentioned above, we do not agree with the findings resulting in the issuance of the Form 1s and intend to continue to work with the DCAA towards a resolution of the issues. We plan to continue to compete for additional task orders under the DLITE contract.

Fiscal Periods

Our fiscal year is comprised of twelve consecutive fiscal months ending on the Friday closest to December 31. During fiscal year 2011, our Board of Directors approved the change in our fiscal year from a fiscal year comprised of twelve consecutive fiscal months ending on the Friday closest to March 31. This change was made to better align our financial reporting period, as well as our annual planning and budgeting process, to the fiscal year end dates of our two owners.

This report reflects our financial results for the year ended December 30, 2011 and for the nine month period beginning April 3, 2010, the day following the end of our 2010 fiscal year, and ended on December 31, 2010, which we refer to as fiscal year 2011. The fiscal period ended December 31, 2010 was a 39 week fiscal period.

 

158


Revenue Recognition

Revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, services or products have been provided to the customer, costs are identifiable, determinable, reasonable and allowable, and a reasonable contractual basis for recovery exists. We expense pre-contract costs as incurred for an anticipated contract until the contract is awarded. Throughout the life of the contract, indirect costs, including general and administrative costs, are expensed as incurred. When revenue recognition is deferred relative to the timing of cost incurred, costs that are direct and incremental to a specific transaction are deferred and charged to expense in proportion to the revenue recognized.

Management regularly reviews project profitability and underlying estimates. Revisions to the estimates are reflected in results of operations as a change in accounting estimate in the period in which the facts that give rise to the revision become known by management. Contract costs on U.S. federal government contracts, including indirect costs, are subject to audit and adjustment by negotiations between the Company and government representatives.

Major factors we consider in determining total estimated revenue and cost include the basic contract price, contract options, change orders (modifications of the original contract), back charges and claims, and contract provisions for penalties, award fees and performance incentives. All of these factors and other special contract provisions are evaluated throughout the life of our contracts when estimating total contract revenue under the percentage-of-completion method of accounting.

Award fees are excluded from estimated total contract revenue until a historical basis has been established for their receipt or the award criteria have been met including the completion of the award fee period at which time the award amount is included in revenue.

Operating Segments

GLS operates as a single operating segment.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

For purposes of reporting cash and cash equivalents, we consider all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Management evaluates these estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis, including but not limited to, those relating to award fees and allowances for doubtful accounts. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

GLS reports receivables at the net realizable value. We establish an allowance for doubtful accounts against specific billed receivables based upon the latest information available to determine whether invoices are ultimately collectible. This evaluation involves subjective judgments and changes in this evaluation may cause an increase to our estimated allowance for doubtful accounts, which could significantly impact our financial statements by incurring bad debt expense.

Dividends Paid to Owners

Throughout the year, GLS declares and pays dividends to its owners, DI and MT, based on their respective ownership percentages.

Fair Value of Cash

The carrying amount of cash approximates fair value.

Income Taxes

We have elected to be treated as a partnership for U.S. income tax purposes which provides that, in lieu of corporate income taxes, the members of the LLC separately account for their pro rata share of the Company’s items of income, deductions, losses and credits. Consequently, we are not liable for federal or state income taxes. Accordingly, no provision or liability for income taxes is included in our financial statements.

 

159


Concentration

GLS currently and historically has had no other operations outside of performance on the INSCOM contract. 100% of our revenue and 100% of our receivables are from a single customer, the U.S. Army.

Note 2—Billed and Unbilled Receivables

The balance of unbilled receivables consists of costs and fees billable upon payments being made to our applicable subcontractors or supporting documentation being made available to our customer. Virtually, all unbilled receivables are expected to be billed and collected within one year.

Note 3—Related Party Loan

In accordance with the Termination of Offering Basis Loan Agreement (“Agreement”) between DI and GLS dated October 26, 2010, DI no longer provides GLS with its working capital requirements via a loan. GLS repaid the loan in October 2010. The working capital requirements were addressed with the $40.0 million contribution made by DI and MT of $20.4 million and $19.6 million, respectively.

GLS is no longer a guarantor under DI’s Senior Secured Credit Facility in accordance with the Agreement.

Note 4—Related Party Activities

Overhead allocations from DI

For the fiscal year ended December 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, DI allocated corporate overhead costs to GLS totaling of $11.4 million and $13.1 million, respectively. As of December 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, GLS owed $1.2 million and $3.9 million, respectively, to DI for allocated expenses, which is included in accounts payable balance as of December 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.

Subcontractor costs from MT

For the fiscal year ended December 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, GLS incurred service billings from MT of $1.4 million and $1.6 million, respectively.

Intercompany agreement with DynCorp International FZ-LLC (“DIFZ”)

GLS has an agreement with DIFZ, which is a 50% owned consolidated subsidiary of DI. DIFZ provides dedicated human resources professionals and payroll processing services for GLS. The costs charged to GLS are consistent with costs charged to other DI subsidiaries for similar services. As of December 30, 2011 there was no payable from GLS to DIFZ. As of December 31, 2010, the payable from GLS to DIFZ was approximately $0.1 million, respectively. For the fiscal year ended December 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, GLS incurred costs from DIFZ of $0.8 million and $0.6 million, respectively.

Note 5—Commitments and Contingencies

Commitments

We have operating leases for the use of real estate and certain property and equipment, which are either (i) non-cancelable, (ii) cancelable only by the payment of penalties or (iii) cancelable upon one month’s notice. All lease payments are based on the lapse of time but include, in some cases, payments for insurance, maintenance and property taxes. There are no purchase options on operating leases at favorable terms, but most leases have one or more renewal options. GLS real estate leases run for approximately five years with a reduced termination fee in the event that leases are canceled as a result of the loss of the INSCOM contract. Rental expense was $1.3 million and $1.3 million for the fiscal years ended December 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.

Operating leases in effect at December 30, 2011, had the following future rental requirements for the next five years:

We have no significant long-term purchase agreements with service providers.

Contingencies

We are occasionally involved in various lawsuits and claims that arise in the normal course of business. In most cases, we have denied, or believe we have a basis to deny any liability. While it is not possible to predict the outcome of litigation and other matters discussed below, we believe that liabilities in excess of those recorded, if any, arising from such matters may have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition or liquidity over the long term.

U.S. Government Investigations

We are occasionally the subject of investigations by various agencies of the U.S. government. Such investigations, whether related to our U.S. government contract or conducted for other reasons, could result in administrative, civil or criminal liabilities, including repayments, fines or penalties being imposed upon us, or could lead to suspension or debarment from future U.S. government contracting.

U.S. Government Audits

Our contract is regularly audited by the DCAA and other government agencies. At any given time, our contract or systems are under review by the DCAA and other government agencies. We cannot predict the outcome of such ongoing audits and what, if any, impact such audits may have on our future operating performance.

These agencies review our contract performance, cost structure and compliance with applicable laws, regulations and standards. The DCAA also reviews the adequacy of, and our compliance with, our internal control systems and policies, including our labor, billing, accounting, purchasing, property, estimating, compensation and management information systems. An adverse finding under a DCAA audit could result in the disallowance of our costs under our U.S. government contract, termination of our U.S. government contract, forfeiture of profits, suspension of payments, fines and suspension and prohibition from doing business with the U.S. government. Any costs found to be improperly allocated to our contract will not be reimbursed. In addition, government contract payments received by us for allowable direct and indirect costs are subject to adjustment after audit by government auditors and repayment to the government if the payments exceed allowable costs as defined in our government contract.

On October 5, 2011, the DCAA issued us a Form 1 in the amount of $95.9 million which pertains to potential inconsistencies of certain contractual requirements for the fiscal year ended April 3, 2009. As a result of the Form 1, our

 

161


customer informed us it would withhold 15% of the amount of the Form 1 and in fact has withheld $14.1 million until this issue is resolved. On February 8, 2012, the DCAA issued GLS a second Form 1 in the amount of $102.0 million, asserting inconsistencies with labor related costs for the fiscal year ended April 3, 2009. The customer has withheld an additional $5.0 million, until this issue is resolved. We do not agree with the DCAA’s findings and we are currently working with the DCAA and our customer to provide clarification and resolve this matter.

Credit Risk

We are subject to concentrations of credit risk primarily by virtue of our accounts receivable. Departments and agencies of the U.S. federal government account for all of our customer base, minimizing this credit risk. Furthermore, we continuously review all accounts receivable and recorded provisions for doubtful accounts. GLS currently and historically has had no other operations outside of performance on the INSCOM contract as 100% of our revenue is from a single customer, the U.S. Army.

Note 6—401(k) Savings Plans

GLS uses the DI Savings Plan established in 2006. The Savings Plan is a participant-directed, defined contribution, 401(k) plan for the benefit of employees meeting certain eligibility requirements. The Savings Plan is intended to qualify under Section 401(a) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”), and is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. Under the Savings Plan, participants may contribute from 1% to 50% of their earnings, except for highly compensated employees who can only contribute up to 10% of their gross salary. Contributions are made on a pre-tax basis, limited to annual maximums set by the Code. The current maximum contribution per employee is sixteen thousand five hundred dollars per calendar year. Company matching contributions are also made in an amount equal to 100% of the first 2% of employee contributions and 50% of the next 6%, up to ten thousand dollars per calendar year, are invested in various funds at the discretion of the participant. We incurred Savings Plan expense of approximately $0.5 million and $0.5 million during the fiscal years ended December 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.

Note 7—Subsequent Event

We evaluated subsequent events that occurred after the period end date through April 9, 2012, the date the financial statements were available to be issued. We concluded that no subsequent events have occurred that require recognition in our financial statements for the year ended December 30, 2011.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

STANDING COMMITTEES

Audit Committee

The Audit Committee oversees risks related to the Company’s financial statements, the financial reporting process, certain compliance issues and accounting matters. The Audit Committee is also responsible for the oversight of (i) management’s assessment of internal controls (ii) our internal audit function (iii) the Company’s policies and practices with respect to enterprise risk management programs and processes, and (iv) audits of the Company’s financial statements on behalf of the Board. Among other duties, it is directly responsible for the selection and oversight of our independent auditors. The functions of the Audit Committee are further described in the Audit Committee’s charter. The Audit Committee met four times during the year ended December 30, 2011. The Audit Committee met on March 6, 2012 in relation to the year ended December 30, 2011. The Audit Committee’s charter is available on our website, http://www.dyn-intl.com, under the heading “Investor Relations — Corporate Governance.”

Even though our stock is not publicly traded as of the Merger, in accordance with our Corporate Governance Guidelines, Members of the Audit Committee who are determined by the Board to be independent, if any, within the meaning of our Corporate Governance Guidelines must satisfy the requirements of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”).

ITEM 11. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION.

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (“CD&A”)

Overview

This Compensation Discussion and Analysis describes the policies and objectives underlying our compensation program for our Named Executive Officers (“NEOs”). Accordingly, this section addresses and analyzes each element of our NEOs compensation program. Following this section is a series of tables containing specific information about the compensation awarded to, earned by or paid to our NEOs. For the year ended December 30, 2011, our NEOs were:

 

   

Steven F. Gaffney, Chief Executive Officer, who is named executive officer by reason of his position with us;

 

   

William T. Kansky, Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer; who is a named executive officer by reason of his position with us;

 

   

Steven T. Schorer, President, who is a named executive officer by reason of his level of compensation as an officer;

 

   

Gregory S. Nixon, Senior Vice President, General Counsel and Corporate Secretary, who is a named executive officer by reason of his level of compensation as an officer;and

 

   

Joseph Ruffolo Jr., Senior Vice President and Chief of Staff, who is a named executive officer by reason of his level of compensation as an officer.

There were five NEOs for the year ended December 30, 2011. Our NEOs were made up of our (1) current CEO, (2) current CFO and (3) three most highly compensated executive officers other than the CEO and CFO who were serving as executive officers at December 30, 2011.

Executive Summary

The Compensation Committee believes that the success of the Company in achieving its strategic objectives will depend in large part on the ability to attract and retain exceptional executive talent and to align the interests of all executives with investor success. The Compensation Committee has established an approach to executive remuneration that it believes will help achieve this mission and reduce the risks surrounding executive performance.

To provide the necessary and appropriate support to achieve investor success, the Compensation Committee uses the following approaches:

 

   

providing cash compensation opportunities, including base salary and an incentive bonus, to executive officers that, in the aggregate, reflect general industry practice;

 

   

requiring that in order to earn targeted cash compensation levels, executive officers must meet financial objectives approved in advance by the Compensation Committee; and

 

   

allowing individual pay levels to vary considerably with individual executive responsibilities, capabilities and performance.

The Compensation Committee intends to evaluate and implement a long-term equity incentive plan during calendar year 2012 which together with cash compensation opportunities will provide superior total remuneration when investor objectives are realized.

Executive Compensation Philosophy

Our Compensation Committee believes our compensation programs must assist us in attracting and retaining superior talent, and should motivate our NEOs to achieve our business objectives. Based on this philosophy, the compensation of our NEOs includes a combination of salary, annual incentive (i.e., cash bonuses) and other employment benefits. Prior to the Merger, our NEOs’ compensation also included long-term equity-based awards. Salary is intended to provide a competitive foundation for attracting and retaining executives. The annual cash bonus is intended to incentivize and reward management for achieving financial milestones.

Our Compensation Committee did not establish any specific percentile pay objectives during calendar year 2011. The Compensation Committee operates to ensure individual NEO compensation opportunities are commensurate with executive skills, leadership & performance, and role impact. In addition, our Compensation Committee ensures that the aggregate cost of executive talent is generally within the range of competitive practice.

Our equity compensation prior to our current Compensation Committee’s involvement was based on plan-based awards. Prior to the Merger, our plan-based awards took the form of restricted stock units which were either service based or

 

167


performance based. Our Compensation Committee did not approve an incentive equity plan for management for the year ended December 30, 2011, but intends to establish and adopt a long-term incentive program during calendar year 2012 that will provide NEOs with a significant interest in the long-term success of the Company.

We have entered into employment agreements with Messrs. Gaffney, Schorer, Kansky and Nixon and certain other executive officers which establish minimum salaries, annual incentive compensation targets and also provide for termination payments under certain circumstances. These employment agreements are discussed further below, under the headings “- Employment Agreements” and “- Other Potential Post-Employment Payments.” Mr. Ruffolo does not have an employment agreement. The Board of Directors retains discretion to provide employment agreements to our NEOs.

Executive Compensation Oversight

Our executive compensation program is administered by our Compensation Committee. As reflected in its charter, our Compensation Committee is charged with reviewing and approving executive salaries, incentive arrangements, and goals and objectives relevant to the performance of our NEOs. Furthermore, our Compensation Committee is also responsible for overseeing all other aspects of executive compensation including executive benefits and perquisites, post-employment benefits and employment agreements. In addition, no less than annually, our Compensation Committee appraises the performance of our NEOs in light of these goals and objectives and sets compensation levels based on this evaluation. For the year ended December 30, 2011, the CEO provided individual performance assessments to our Compensation Committee on performance of individual NEOs other than himself. At the March 6, 2012 Committee meeting, our Compensation Committee reviewed the performance of the CEO in executive session, without the CEO or any member of management present.

Use of Consultants

For the year ended December 30, 2011, the Compensation Committee retained Board Advisory LLC as its compensation consultant to provide advice and resources regarding pay practices relevant to the Company as an employer, and to assist the Compensation Committee in the design of related executive compensation and employment programs. Board Advisory LLC reports directly to the Compensation Committee, and the Compensation Committee has the sole power to terminate or replace and authorize payment of fees to Board Advisory LLC. The Compensation Committee directed Board Advisory LLC to work with members of our management to obtain information necessary for it to form its recommendations and evaluate management’s recommendations. Board Advisory LLC also met with the Compensation Committee during the Compensation Committee’s regular meetings, in executive session (where no members of management were present). Board Advisory LLC did not provide any additional services during the year ended December 30, 2011. Board Advisory LLC provides comparative market data, on request, in the form of general survey data.

Elements of our Executive Compensation Program

The primary elements of our executive compensation program, including compensation of our NEOs, for the year ended December 30, 2011 were:

 

   

base salary;

 

   

an annual incentive bonus, paid in cash;

 

   

a tax-qualified savings plan with matching company contributions; and

 

   

perquisites and other personal benefits.

In setting compensation amounts for each NEO, our Compensation Committee considers, among other factors, the responsibilities, performance and experience of the executive, as well as comparative market pay data. In setting initial target compensation levels the Compensation Committee sets both a salary and a target annual incentive amount, expressed as a percent of base salary. Subsequent increases to base salary are set based on an evaluation of individual performance, as well as responsibilities and comparative market data. Changes to the annual cash incentive target are based on individual executive responsibilities, within the general parameters of competitive practice.

Given satisfactory performance evaluations and achievement of investor financial objectives, our goal is to manage NEO cash compensation (salary and annual cash bonus) within the range of competitive practice. The Compensation Committee has not approved an equity plan or long-term incentive plan for the Company’s NEO’s, but intends to provide a plan in calendar year 2012. This long-term incentive plan, in conjunction with other pay elements, will provide superior pay opportunities that achieve or exceed the 75th percentile of size-adjusted peer firms when investor objectives are achieved. For calendar year 2012, the Compensation Committee expects to review and approve a peer group specifically for this purpose.

Further specifics with regard to each element of compensation are discussed in the sections below.

 

168


Base Salary

We pay our NEOs a base salary as fixed compensation for their time, efforts and commitments throughout the year. Salary levels are typically reviewed annually as part of our performance review process as well as upon a promotion or other change in job responsibility. During calendar year 2011, our review cycle for base salary increases occurred during June to August. Going forward our review cycle will occur during January to March. Our Compensation Committee considers, among other performance standards, the NEO’s contributions in assisting the Company in meeting its financial targets, improving operational efficiencies, creating and executing a clear strategy, leading and overseeing major projects, creating a winning culture, compliance and safety. Competitive pay data is also reviewed by our Compensation Committee as a reference point, but does not necessarily control the Compensation Committee’s pay decisions.

Individual performance is assessed through our annual employee evaluation process, which compares performance goals established for the NEO’s position within our Company to the NEO’s actual performance for the year.

Base salaries are included in total salary, as reflected in column (c) of the “- Summary Compensation Table” below, and further described below in the “- NEOs on an Individualized Basis” section. Base salaries are also described in the table below under Incentive Bonus Compensation.

Incentive Bonus Compensation

During 2011, we established the Management Incentive Plan (“MIP”). The purpose of the MIP is to provide additional cash compensation to eligible participants for their contribution to the achievement of our objectives, to encourage and stimulate superior performance and to assist in attracting and retaining highly qualified executives.

Under the MIP, target bonus amounts for the year ended December 30, 2011 were based on a percentage of base salary, according to each NEO’s level and overall job responsibilities. This method of assigning each NEO a MIP target bonus percentage is consistent with our compensation philosophy, as discussed within the “- Executive Compensation Philosophy” section above. Incentive bonus compensation is reflected in column (f) of the “- Summary Compensation Table” below, and further described below in the “- NEOs on an Individualized Basis” section.

Specific target bonus percentages are set forth in the following table.

(1) Except as otherwise noted, pro rata target bonus amounts represent 9/12th of the annual target bonus amounts, based on the period from April 1, 2010 (Inception) through December 31, 2010.
(2) Calendar year 2010 represents the period from April 1, 2010 (Inception) through December 31, 2010.
(3) Mr. Gaffney’s pro rata target bonus amounts represent 4/12th of his annual target bonus amount, based on his hire date during the period from April 1, 2010 (Inception) through December 31, 2010.
(4) Information is not included for Mr. Ruffolo for the period prior to the year he became an NEO.
(5) Mr. Kansky’s MIP was contractually fixed for calendar year 2010. Per his employment agreement, his MIP target was 100% of his annual base salary.

Bonuses are paid under the MIP based on the attainment of certain financial performance metrics that were approved by our Compensation Committee, as set forth below. The MIP provides that the target bonus percentages and performance targets will be established annually during the first 90 days of the plan year. The performance adjusted percentage for MIP payout was 163% as of December 30, 2011.

For the year ended December 30, 2011, our financial performance metrics for our NEOs included adjusted earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization (“Adjusted EBITDA”), orders and free cash flow. Each NEO’s bonus payout

 

169


formula is based on performance metrics tied to our consolidated performance. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated by adjusting EBITDA for the items described below. We use Adjusted EBITDA as it provides a meaningful measure of operational performance on a consolidated basis because it eliminates the effects of period to period changes in taxes, costs associated with capital investments and interest expense, and adjusts for certain items as defined in our Credit Facility and indenture. We established orders as a key measure, as it measures future revenue related to new business and growth to existing business and is consistent with our long-term strategic operational growth plan. We reward effective management of free cash flow as it is reflects how well we are managing the cash flows of our operating activities.

Bonuses earned by our NEOs under the MIP for performance for the year ended December 30, 2011 are reflected in column (f) of the “- Summary Compensation Table” below. Our consolidated performance targets and actual results for the year ended December 30, 2011 were as follows:

(1) Orders utilized for performance metric purposes is calculated as the funded and unfunded net changes to contract values, including exercised and unexercised options as of December 30, 2011. Estimated future task orders under IDIQ contracts are not considered Orders until the task orders are awarded.
(2) Free cash flow utilized for performance metric purposes is calculated as cash flows from operating activities less property, plant and equipment and purchased software in calendar year 2011.
(3) This reflects our financial results for the period from April 1, 2010 (Inception) through December 31, 2010.
(4) DSO utilized for performance metric purposes is calculated as the average monthly DSO calendar year 2010 and can differ from DSO calculated for financial reporting purposes, as disclosed in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” above. To satisfy the DSO target, the actual result would have to be 70 days or less.
(5) This reflects the prorated performance targets for the period from April 1, 2010 (Inception) through December 31, 2010. The Adjusted EBITDA and revenue targets were adjusted for the deconsolidation of GLS.

Long-Term Incentive Compensation Plan

For the year ended December 30, 2011 we did not implement a long-term incentive plan. It is our intent to develop and implement a plan during calendar year 2012.

Savings Plan

Each NEO is eligible to participate in our tax-qualified 401(k) plan on the same basis as all other eligible employees. We provide a Company matching contribution under the 401(k) plan on a non-discriminatory basis. The matching contributions paid by us on behalf of our NEOs are reflected in column (g) of the Summary Compensation Table. Details of the plan are discussed in Note 6 to the Delta Tucker Holdings, Inc. consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-K.

Perquisites and Other Personal Benefits

We maintain group medical and dental insurance, accidental death insurance and disability insurance programs for our employees, as well as customary vacation and other similar employee benefits. The NEOs are eligible to participate in these programs on the same basis as our other U.S.-based salaried employees.

Our Compensation Committee adopted an Executive Benefits Plan for designated executives effective January 1, 2008, including our NEOs, under which they are reimbursed up to $15,000 per year in the aggregate for annual physical examinations not covered by our group health plans, as well as personal income tax services and estate planning services. Payments under the Executive Benefits Plan are grossed up to compensate for income taxes on the payments. For the year ended December 30, 2011 and for the period from April 1, 2010 (Inception) through December 31, 2010, payments in the aggregate tax adjusted amount of $53,772 and $41,207, respectively, were made to our NEOs under this plan and are reflected in column (g) of the Summary Compensation Table.

 

170


The cost we incurred in providing term life insurance benefits to each of our NEOs is reflected in column (g) of the “- Summary Compensation Table” below. This benefit is generally available to most U.S.-based non-union employees.

Messrs. Gaffney, Schorer and Ruffolo are provided with a special travel accident policy with a benefit payout amount of $5,000,000 for each NEO. The annual premium for each NEO is $31,086. Each NEO’s respective taxable share of the premium for such insurance is reflected in column (g) of the “- Summary Compensation Table” below. In addition, Mr. Gaffney has been provided with a $12,500,000 life insurance policy.

Employment Agreements and Post Employment Benefits

Our Compensation Committee believes it generally to be in our best interests to design compensation programs that: (i) assist us in attracting and retaining qualified executive officers; (ii) provide certainty about the consequences of terminating certain executive officers’ employment; and (iii) most importantly, protect us by obtaining post-termination covenants. All our NEOs, except Mr. Ruffolo, have employment agreements.

Tax Implications of Executive Compensation

Section 162(m) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“Section 162(m)”), limits the deduction for a publicly held corporation for otherwise deductible compensation to any “covered employee” to $1,000,000 per year. As described above in Note 1 to the Delta Tucker Holdings, Inc. consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-K, DynCorp International’s stock is not publicly traded. As of December 30, 2011, the Company is not a publicly held corporation; therefore Section 162(m) is not applicable to the Company.

NEOs Compensation on an Individualized Basis

The following paragraphs describe the manner in which our Compensation Committee determined the specified amount of each element of compensation for NEOs on an individualized basis for the year ended December 30, 2011. Actual compensation under the MIP may differ from targeted compensation based on the achievement of Company annual financial performance metrics or through discretionary action by our Compensation Committee. See the “- Base Salary” and “- Incentive Bonus Compensation,” for general discussion on the compensation elements discussed below. Other compensation, including 401(k) matching, professional fees reimbursement and related benefits generally available to all domestic employees, are provided to the NEOs, but are not a significant portion of their compensation. During calendar year 2011, our review cycle for base salary increases occurred during June to August based on performance during calendar year 2010. Going forward our review cycle will occur during January to March. Therefore, if an NEO joined the Company during calendar year 2010 he did not receive a merit increase during calendar year 2011.

Mr. Gaffney’s annual base salary remained at $2,000,000 compared to calendar year 2010 as per his employment contract. Mr. Gaffney was eligible through our MIP program to earn target annual incentive bonus compensation of 130% of his salary, with the opportunity to earn up to 200% of his base salary if certain performance levels, as noted under “Incentive Bonus Compensation” above, were achieved. The performance adjusted bonus percentage achieved as of December 30, 2011, was 163%, which would have provided for MIP compensation of $4,238,000 for Mr. Gaffney, however, as noted in Mr. Gaffney’s employment agreement, the maximum amount to be paid to Mr. Gaffney, as it relates to bonus payouts, is up to 200% of his base salary or $4,000,000. Due to the achievement of the Company’s financial performance criteria, Mr. Gaffney’s actual MIP compensation was $4,000,000 compared to his MIP target amount of $2,600,000, for the year ended December 30, 2011. Mr. Gaffney did not receive any equity-based compensation for the year ended December 30, 2011. The Board intends to grant Mr. Gaffney equity awards under a planned long-term incentive compensation program at a future date, as set forth in his employment agreement.

Mr. Kansky annual base salary remained at $600,000 compared to calendar year 2010. As Mr. Kansky joined the company on August 1, 2010, based on the aforementioned, he did not receive a base salary increase during the year ended December 30, 2011. Mr. Kansky was eligible, through our MIP program, to earn a target annual incentive bonus compensation of 100%, with the opportunity to earn up to 200% of his base salary if certain performance levels, as noted under “Incentive Bonus Compensation” above, were achieved. The performance adjusted bonus percentage achieved as of December 30, 2011, was 163% which would have provided for MIP compensation of $978,000 for Mr. Kansky, however, due to the achievement of the Company’s financial performance criteria, the Compensation Committee exercised discretion and adjusted the incentive bonus compensation under the MIP for Mr. Kansky as a result of his significant leadership in driving results and management of the financial assets of the Company. Mr. Kansky’s actual MIP compensation was $1,200,000. The Board intends to grant Mr. Kansky equity awards under a planned long-term incentive compensation program at a future date.

Mr. Schorer’s annual base salary remained at $600,000 compared to calendar year 2010. In recognition of his promotion to President of the Company, Mr. Schorer received an increase in his base salary in November 2010; as such, he did not receive

 

171


a base salary increase during the year ended December 30, 2011. Mr. Schorer was eligible through our MIP program to earn target annual incentive bonus compensation of 85%, with the opportunity to earn up to 170% of his base salary if certain performance levels, as noted under “Incentive Bonus Compensation” above, were achieved. Due to the achievement of the Company’s financial performance criteria, the bonus percentage achieved as of December 30, 2011, was 163% which provided for actual MIP compensation of $832,320 compared to the MIP target amount of $510,000 for the year ended December 30, 2011. The Board intends to grant Mr. Schorer equity awards under a planned long-term incentive compensation program at a future date.

Mr. Nixon’s base salary increased approximately 17.9% to $500,000 compared to calendar year 2010. This increase was approved by the Compensation Committee and the CEO after analysis of Mr. Nixon’s support to the Company’s strategy and legal compliance, and competitive pay in peer companies. Mr. Nixon was eligible through our MIP program to earn target annual incentive bonus compensation of 100%, with the opportunity to earn up to 200% of his base salary if certain performance levels, as noted under “Incentive Bonus Compensation” above, were achieved. Due to the achievement of the Company’s financial performance criteria, the bonus percentage achieved as of December 30, 2011, was 163% which provided for actual MIP compensation of $816,000 compared to his MIP target amount of $500,000 for the year ended December 30, 2011. The Board intends to grant Mr. Nixon equity awards under a planned long-term incentive compensation program at a future date.

Mr. Ruffolo’s annual base salary was $360,000 for the year ended December 30, 2011. Mr. Ruffolo was eligible through our MIP program to earn target annual incentive bonus compensation of 50% with the opportunity to earn up to 100% of his base salary if certain performance levels, as noted under “Incentive Bonus Compensation” above, were achieved. Due to the achievement of the Company’s financial performance criteria, the bonus percentage achieved as of December 30, 2011, was 163% which provided for actual MIP compensation of $293,800 compared to his MIP target amount of $180,000 for the year ended December 30, 2011. In addition, Mr. Ruffolo received two payments totaling $225,000 which represented sign-on bonuses earned and paid during the year ended December 30, 2011. The Board intends to grant Mr. Ruffolo equity awards under a planned long-term incentive compensation program at a future date.

RISK MANAGEMENT IMPLICATIONS OF EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

In connection with its oversight of compensation related risks, our Compensation Committee and management annually evaluates whether our Company’s compensation policies and practices create risks that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on our Company. Our compensation (base salary or management incentive plan bonus compensation) is driven by either the passage of time (based on salaries established through market studies) or by a narrow set of performance metrics: (i) Adjusted EBITDA; (ii) orders; and (iii) free cash flow. Compensation based on the passage of time does not create risk-taking incentives. Therefore, we have focused our consideration of risk and rewards on the compensation driven by the three performance metrics.

The structure of our incentive bonus program, which is based on three performance metrics, mitigates risks by avoiding employees placing undue emphasis on any particular performance metric at the expense of other aspects of our business. We believe our performance measures are well aligned with creating long-term value and do not create an incentive for excessive risk taking or unusual pressure on any single operating segment. Furthermore, our compensation policies and practices are consistent throughout the organization. Based on this evaluation, our Compensation Committee determined that our compensation programs do not encourage risk taking that is reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company.

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE REPORT

Our Compensation Committee has reviewed and discussed the Compensation Discussion and Analysis required by Item 402(b) of Regulation S-K with management and, based on such review and discussions, the Compensation Committee recommended to the board of directors that the Compensation Disclosure and Analysis be included in this Report.

See discussion in Note 10 to the DynCorp International’s consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-K.

Employment Agreements

We have employment agreements with Messrs. Gaffney, Schorer, Kansky and Nixon.

The initial term of the employment agreement is four years for Mr. Gaffney. The remaining term of Mr. Gaffney’s employment agreement is approximately two and a half years. There is no length of time associated with Messrs. Schorer, Kansky or Nixon’s employment agreements.

The employment agreements establish initial minimum salaries and annual incentive compensation targets for each of the covered NEOs. See the “- Incentive Bonus Compensation” section for the calendar year 2011 base salary and target bonus amounts.

Pursuant to his employment agreement, Mr. Gaffney has agreed that he will not for a period of two years following termination of his employment (a) solicit, for purposes of marketing, selling or providing services or products thereto, any party which was a customer of ours during the year prior to his termination or was a targeted customer at the time of termination or (b) solicit for employment any person who was an employee of ours during the year prior to his termination or directly or indirectly solicit or induce a current employee. Furthermore, during this non-compete period or one year following normal expiration of the term of his employment agreement, he will not organize, establish, own, operate, act as a consultant or advisor to, render services for or otherwise assist any person or entity that has derived 15 percent or more of its annual revenue performing services that are competitive to the Company.

Pursuant to the employment agreements of Messrs. Schorer and Nixon, each such NEO has agreed that, during the term of the employment agreement and for a period of one year following the termination of the agreement, he will not employ or solicit for employment any current or former employees of our Company. As of the date of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, Mr. Kansky had no noncompete agreement with the Company.

 

174


Furthermore, NEOs may not disclose any confidential information to any person or entity, unless required by law. In addition, under the terms of the employment agreements, we have agreed to indemnify the NEOs against any claims or liabilities relating to our NEOs’ services to us, to the extent permitted by applicable law, and to pay for counsel for our NEOs’ defense.

The NEOs’ employment agreements provide for payments in connection with certain terminations of employment. A description of the payments and benefits each NEO receives upon termination of employment is provided below in “- Other Potential Post-Employment Payments.”

Outstanding Equity Awards at December 30, 2011

Pension Benefits and Nonqualified Deferred Compensation

None of our NEOs participates in any defined benefit pension plan contributed to by the Company. None of our NEOs participates in any nonqualified deferred compensation plan sponsored by the Company.

Other Potential Post-Employment Payments

The following section describes the payments and benefits that would be provided to our NEOs in connection with any termination of employment, including resignation, involuntary termination, death, retirement, disability or a change in control to the extent occurring on December 30, 2011. However, the amount that would actually be paid under each circumstance can only be determined at the time of termination of employment. The assumptions and methodologies that were used to calculate the amounts paid upon a termination of employment are set forth at the end of this section. Definitions are included below in the “- Material Terms Defined.”

Payments Made Upon Certain Terminations

In the event Mr. Gaffney is terminated by us without Cause or due to the Company’s non-renewal of his employment term, we would provide him with the following payments and benefits:

 

   

a payment for the accrued but unpaid base salary to the date of termination and any employee benefits he is entitled to receive pursuant to the employee benefits plans of the Company;

 

   

a payment for accrued unused vacation days, payable in accordance with Company policy;

 

   

a payment equal to two times the sum of his then current base salary plus his target bonus amount for the year of termination, payable in 24 monthly installments during the two years following termination;

 

   

a payment equal to the unpaid portion of his incentive compensation, if any, relating to any year prior to the fiscal year of his termination;

 

   

continued vesting of his equity awards, if applicable, for the remainder of the fiscal year of termination;

 

   

reimbursement for the cost of continued medical coverage for the same portion of his Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (“COBRA”) health insurance premium that we paid during his employment, until the earlier of either the last day of his COBRA health insurance benefits or the date on which he becomes covered under any other group health plan; and

 

   

outplacement services commensurate with his rank.

In the event that Mr. Kansky is terminated by us without Cause, we would provide him with a payment equal to two times his base salary plus the target annual bonus amount in effect at the time of termination. In addition, we would provide Mr. Kansky with the following payments:

 

175


   

a payment for the accrued but unpaid base salary to the date of termination and any employee benefits he is entitled to receive pursuant to the employee benefits plans of the Company; and

 

   

a payment for accrued unused vacation days, payable in accordance with Company policy.

In the event that either Mr. Schorer or Mr. Nixon is terminated by us without Cause or employee voluntarily terminates his employment for Good Cause, we would provide such NEO with the following payments and benefits:

 

   

a payment equal to such NEO’s salary earned through the date of termination or resignation;

 

   

a payment for any accrued vacation benefits;

 

   

a payment equal to two times such NEO’s base salary in effect at the time of termination; and

 

   

a payment equal to the pro-rated portion of such NEO’s MIP bonus.

In the event that Mr. Ruffolo is terminated by us for any reason, with or without Cause, or voluntarily terminates his employment for any reason, we would provide Mr. Ruffolo with the following payments and benefits:

 

   

a payment equal to such NEO’s salary earned through the date of termination or resignation; and

 

   

a payment for any accrued vacation benefits.

Payments Made Upon Retirement, Death, Disability, or Complete Disability

Mr. Gaffney’s employment agreement provides that, if his employment is terminated by reason of Disability, he will receive a payment equal to (a) the accrued but unpaid base salary to the date of termination and any employee benefits he is entitled to receive pursuant to the employee benefit plans of the Company, plus (b) accrued unused vacation days, plus (c) two times the sum of his then current base salary plus his target bonus amount for the year of termination, payable in 24 monthly installments during the two years following termination, plus (d) the unpaid portion of his incentive compensation, if any, relating to any year prior to the fiscal year of his termination, plus (e) continued vesting of his equity awards, if applicable, for the remainder of the fiscal year of such termination, plus (f) reimbursement for the cost of continued medical coverage for the same portion of his COBRA health insurance premium that we paid during his employment, until the earlier of either the last day of his COBRA health insurance benefits or the date on which he becomes covered under any other group health plan.

Mr. Gaffney’s employment agreement provides that, if his employment is terminated by reason of death, he will receive a payment equal to (a) the accrued but unpaid base salary to the date of termination and any employee benefits he is entitled to receive pursuant to the employee benefit plans of the Company, plus (b) all appropriate business expenses, incurred by him in connection with his duties under his employment agreement, incurred but not yet reimbursed, plus (c) benefits under his life insurance policy. In addition, his equity awards will continue to vest for the remainder of the fiscal year of termination.

The employment agreements of Messrs. Schorer and Nixon provide that, if their employment is terminated by reason of ,death or Complete Disability, they will receive the following payments and benefits:

 

   

a payment equal to the pro-rated portion of such NEO’s incentive compensation that would be payable based on our projected performance through the termination date; and

 

   

the right to exercise any vested stock options or other rights based upon the appreciation in value of our stock, if applicable.

As of the date of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, Mr. Kansky had no noncompete agreement with the Company; as such he is not covered in the event of Retirement, death, or Complete Disability. Furthermore, Mr. Kansky is not covered for health insurance in the event of an involuntary termination without Cause or voluntary termination for Good Cause. Mr. Ruffolo is not entitled to retirement, death, disability, or complete disability benefits.

Payments Made Upon Involuntary Termination for Cause, Voluntary Termination without Good Cause, or a Change in Control

The NEOs are not entitled to any payments or benefits (other than accrued but unpaid compensation and benefits) in the event of an involuntary termination for Cause, voluntary termination without Good Cause, or a change in control.

Approximation of Other Potential Post-Employment Payments for Messrs. Gaffney, Schorer, Kansky and Nixon

This section quantifies the potential payments and benefits that would have been paid to Messrs. Gaffney, Schorer, Kansky and Nixon upon a termination of their employment occurring on December 30, 2011. If they were terminated involuntarily without Cause or voluntarily terminated for Good Cause, they would receive cash severance payments equal to

 

176


$9,200,000, $1,710,000, $1,800,000 and $1,500,000, respectively. These amounts include a full termination year bonus, at target, for Mr. Schorer and Mr. Nixon. Mr. Ruffolo is not entitled to any other post-employment payment, other than the payments noted under “Payments Made Upon Certain Terminations.”

The cost of reimbursing Messrs. Gaffney, Schorer and Nixon for health insurance in the event of an involuntary termination without Cause or voluntary termination for Good Cause is approximately $12,000 to $17,000 per executive.

In the event of death, or Permanent Disability, Messrs. Schorer and Nixon would receive pro-rated bonuses based on performance through the termination date up to $510,000 and $500,000, respectively. In the event of death, Mr. Gaffney’s estate would receive cash payments equal to his accrued benefits and any benefits under his life insurance policy, discussed above under “Perquisites and Other Personal Benefits.” In addition, Mr. Gaffney’s unvested equity awards, if any, would continue to vest for the remainder of the fiscal year of his death. In the event of Disability Mr. Gaffney would receive cash severance payments equal to $9,200,000.

Material Terms Defined

“Cause” generally means: (a) the willful and continued failure by the executive to substantially perform his duties with the operating company (other than any such failure resulting from his incapacity due to physical or mental illness, injury or disability), after a written demand for substantial performance is delivered to him by the Board that identifies, in reasonable detail, the manner in which the Board believes that the executive has not substantially performed his duties in good faith, and he fails to cure the matter if curable; (b) the willful engaging by the executive in conduct that causes material harm to the operating company, monetarily or otherwise; (c) the executive’s conviction of a felony arising from conduct during the term of his employment agreement (or in Mr. Gaffney’s agreement, any felony); or (d) the executive’s willful malfeasance or willful misconduct in connection with executive’s duties. Mr. Gaffney’s agreement has a definition of Cause that includes his willful and intentional dishonesty resulting or intending to result in personal gain at the Company’s expense, and a material breach of his employment agreement is not cured.

“Good Cause” generally means any of the following actions taken by the operating company or any subsidiary that employs the executive: (a) assignment to the executive of duties that are materially inconsistent with his status as a senior executive or which represent a substantial diminution of his duties or responsibilities in the operating company; (b) reduction of the executive’s base salary, except in connection with an across-the-board salary reduction for all executives; (c) a failure by the operating company to pay any of the executive’s compensation in accordance with the operating company’s policy; (d) change of the executive’s title; (e) material relocation of Executive’s place of business; (f) failure to comply with the obligations of the operating company pursuant to the executive’s employment agreement or (g) failure of a succesor to assume and perform the obligations under such employment agreement. Such actions are generally subject to a right of cure within 30 days after receipt of notice of such actions from the executive.

“Disability” is defined in Mr. Gaffney’s and Mr.Nixon’s agreement as the determination by the Company, its subsidiaries or affiliates that, as a result of a permanent physical or mental injury or illness, the executive has been unable to perform the essential functions of his job with or without reasonable accommodation for (a) 120 consecutive days or (b) a period of 180 days in any 12-month period.

Material Conditions to Receipt of Post-Employment Payments

The receipt of payments and benefits (other than accrued but unpaid compensation and vacation) to the executives upon a termination of employment is conditioned on the executive furnishing to the operating company an executed copy of a waiver and release of claims.

Methodologies and Assumptions Used for Calculating Other Potential Post-Employment Payments

The following assumptions and methodologies were used to calculate the post-employment payments and benefits described above assuming each NEO’s termination as of December 30, 2011.

The prorated incentive compensation severance amounts payable upon involuntary termination without Cause, voluntary termination for Good Cause, Retirement, death and Disability or Complete Disability reported above under the heading “- Approximation of Other Potential Post-Employment Payments for Messrs. Kansky, Schorer and Nixon” assume that our projected performance will be at target.

DIRECTOR COMPENSATION

ITEM 12. SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS.

All of DynCorp International Inc.’s issued and outstanding common stock is owned by the Company, and all of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock is owned by our parent, DefCo Holdings, Inc. (“Holdings”). The following table sets forth information regarding the beneficial ownership of Holdings’ common stock as of March 6, 2012 by (i) each person known to beneficially own more than 5% of the common stock of Holdings, (ii) each of our named executive officers, (iii) each member of our Board of Directors and (iv) all of our executive officers and members of our Board of Directors as a group. At March 6, 2012, there were approximately 100 shares of common stock of Holdings outstanding.

The amounts and percentages of common stock beneficially owned are reported on the basis of regulations of the SEC governing the determination of beneficial ownership of securities. Under the rules of the SEC, a person is deemed to be a “beneficial owner” of a security if that person has or shares “voting power,” which includes the power to vote or to direct the voting of such security, or “investment power,” which includes the power to dispose of or to direct the disposition of such security. A person is also deemed to be a beneficial owner of any securities of which that person has a right to acquire beneficial ownership within 60 days. Under these rules, more than one person may be deemed a beneficial owner of the same securities and a person may be deemed a beneficial owner of securities as to which he has no economic interest.

The persons named in the table below have sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares of common stock shown as beneficially owned by them.

Mr. Ingersoll is a Cerberus employee. The Company paid a total of $1,913,385 and $690,864, in consulting fees for the year ended December 30, 2011 and the period between July 7, 2010 and December 31, 2010, respectively. For additional information on the COAC Agreement, see Note 12 to the Delta Tucker Holdings, Inc. consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-K.

Our Controls for Approving Transactions with Related Persons

Any material transaction involving our directors, nominees for director, executive officers and their immediate family members (“related persons”) and the Company or an affiliate of the Company is reviewed and approved by the Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board, following consultation with the Compliance and Risk Committee, who determines whether the transaction is in the best interests of the Company.

Director Independence

Pursuant to our corporate governance guidelines, the rules of the NYSE provide that a director must have no material relationship, directly or as a partner, shareholder or officer of an organization that has a relationship with us, in order to be an “independent director.” The rules of the NYSE further require that all companies listing common equity securities must have a majority of independent directors and the members of the audit committee, compensation committee, and nominating/corporate governance committee must be independent, with certain exceptions. “Controlled Companies” is one of the exceptions in which more than 50% of the voting power of the company is held by another company. Cerberus owns more than 50% of the Company; as such, we are a “controlled company” under the NYSE rules. Therefore, under the NYSE rules, we are not subject to the requirements that a majority of the Board be composed of independent directors or that all the members of the Audit Committee, Compliance and Risk Committee and the Compensation Committee be independent. In accordance with our Corporate Governance Guidelines, Members of the Audit Committee who are determined by the Board to be independent, if any, within the meaning of our Corporate Governance Guidelines must satisfy the requirements of the NYSE.

The rules of the NYSE provide that a director serving on the audit committee must not have any material relationship, directly or as a partner, shareholder or officer of an organization that has a relationship with us in order to be an “independent director.” Based on written submissions by the directors, the Board has determined that the following directors do not have any material relationship with us other than their roles as directors and therefore are “independent” under the NYSE rules.

Independent Directors:

General John Tilelli (USA Ret.)

General Michael Hagee (USMC Ret.)
