While forward-looking statements sometimes are presented with numerical specificity, they are based on various assumptions made by management regarding future events over which we have little or no control. Forward-looking statements may be identified by words including "anticipate," "believe," "estimate," "expect" and similar expressions. We caution readers that forward-looking statements, including without limitation, those relating to future business prospects, revenues, working capital, liquidity, and income, are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that would cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause actual results to differ from forward-looking statements include the concentration of our revenues, risks involved in contracting with our customers, including difficulties to accurately estimate costs when bidding on a contract and the occurrence of start-up costs prior to receiving revenues and contract with fixed price provisions, government contracting risks, potential conflicts of interest, difficulties we may have in attracting and retaining management, professional and administrative staff, fluctuation in quarterly results, risks related to acquisitions and acquisition strategy, continued favorable banking relationships, the availability of capital to finance operations and ability to make payments on outstanding indebtedness, weakened economic conditions, acts of terrorism, risks related to competition and our ability to continue to perform efficiently on contracts, and other risks and factors identified from time to time in the reports we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), including our Annual Report on Form 10-K. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those anticipated, estimated or projected. Forward-looking statements are intended to apply only at the time they are made. Moreover, whether or not stated in connection with a forward-looking statement, the Company undertakes no obligation to correct or update a forward- looking statement should we later become aware that it is not likely to be achieved. If the Company were to update or correct a forward-looking statement, you should not conclude that the Company will make additional updates or correction thereafter. ITEM 1.01 ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT On June 30, 2005, we simultaneously entered into and closed on an asset purchase agreement with INDUS Corporation pursuant to which we sold substantially all of the assets and certain liabilities of our secure network services business. The purchase price was approximately $12.5 million, subject to adjustments described in the asset purchase agreement based on the net assets of the business on the date of closing. The asset purchase agreement provides that $3.0 million of the purchase price will be held in escrow. Of this amount, $625,000 will be held as security for the payment of our indemnification obligations pursuant to the asset purchase agreement, if any, and will be released to us eighteen (18) months following the date of the asset purchase agreement unless a certain key government contract, referred to as the Key Contract, is not assigned (referred to as a novation) as of such time. A portion of the escrow amount equal to $2,000,000 (which includes the portion referenced above for indemnification obligations), plus any interest or other income earned thereon, will also serve as security for a payment obligation we have to INDUS Corporation if the novation of the Key Contract from us to INDUS Corporation is not approved by such government customer and received within two years from the date of the asset purchase agreement. If such novation of the Key Contract is not received by the second anniversary of the date of the asset purchase agreement or if such novation is affirmatively rejected prior to such time under circumstances not giving rise to the rescission right referenced below, we will be obligated to pay to INDUS Corporation an amount equal $2,000,000 with the entire amount then held in escrow being released to INDUS Corporation as full or partial payment of such obligation, as the case may be. We will be obligated to pay directly to INDUS Corporation the amount, if any, by which the balance of escrow funds at the time of disbursement is less than $2,000,000. Finally, a portion of the escrow amount equal to $1,000,000 serves as security for a payment obligation we have to INDUS Corporation in connection with a failure to obtain certain consents related to the transaction. In addition, INDUS Corporation has certain rescission rights. First, if the government customer to the Key Contract rejects the novation of such Key Contract on or before the six month anniversary of the date of the asset purchase agreement and the government customer takes action to preclude us from providing INDUS Corporation with the economic benefit of such Key Contract (whether by subcontract or otherwise), INDUS Corporation may rescind the entire sale transaction in lieu of being paid the $2,000,000 amount referenced above. Second, if we are unable to provide INDUS Corporation with evidence of the government's approval of the assignment to INDUS Corporation to a material contract (other than the Key Contract) on or before a date roughly six months from the date of closing, INDUS Corporation may rescind the transaction. The asset purchase agreement contains representations, warranties, covenants and related indemnification provisions, in each case that are customary in connection with a transaction of this type; however, certain of the representations and warranties require updating to a date which is the earlier of the contract novation or thirty months from the closing. In addition, survival periods applicable to such updated warranties may be extended together with related indemnification periods. The secure network services business comprised approximately $13.5 million, or 22%, and $9.5 million, or 19%, of our revenues for the fiscal years ended 2005 and 2004 and represented 7% of our assets at March 31, 2005. In connection with the asset purchase agreement, we also transferred to INDUS Corporation all of our right, title and interest in and to our Federal Supply Service Information Technology (Schedule 70) Contract (the "Contract") with the federal government and a Blanket Purchase Agreement ("BPA") that we entered into with one federal agency pursuant to the Contract. Since we have a need to utilize the Contract and BPA in connection with businesses that we have retained, we entered into a transition services agreement with INDUS Corporation with respect to the Contract and BPA in order to continue performing existing, and to receive new, task/delivery orders from federal government agencies awarded under the Contract and BPA until such time as we are awarded a new Federal Supply Service Information Technology Contract.
