SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:


(A)

Organization and Nature of Business

Silva Bay International, Inc., a Delaware corporation, was formed in 1998 for the purpose of locating and recovering rare and valuable aircraft.  Silva Bay International, Inc. had no operations and no revenue from inception in 1998 to the time of  the acquisition of Spectrum Sciences & Software, Inc. in April, 2003.


Spectrum Sciences & Software, Inc. was incorporated in the State of Florida on October 8, 1982. Headquartered in Fort Walton Beach, Florida, the Company has three reportable segments - management services, manufacturing, and engineering and information technology services. Management services include providing engineering, technical, and operational services in the area of defense range management specializing in bombing and gunnery training range operation and maintenance. Manufacturing operations includes the design and construction of munitions ground support equipment and containers for the shipping and storage of munitions and equipment. The Company's engineering and information technology services segment consists of the sale of computer software developed to assist in hazard management and weapons impact analysis.


On April 2, 2003, Silva Bay International, Inc. acquired Spectrum Sciences & Software, Inc., a Florida corporation, in exchange for the issuance of 2,500,000 shares of common stock (taking into account the forward two for one stock split of April 9, 2003) (see Note 3).  Spectrum Sciences & Software, Inc. is now the wholly owned subsidiary of Silva Bay International, Inc. (now collectively referred to as the “Company”).  


On April 8, 2003, Silva Bay International, Inc. changed its name to Spectrum Sciences & Software Holdings Corp.  On April 9, 2003, the Company effectuated a two for one forward split of its common stock.  On November 4, 2003, the Company’s registration statement as a reporting company under the Exchange Act became effective.


The Company’s contracts are primarily fixed price contracts with the United States Department of Defense (DOD).  During the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2004, 99% of the company’s revenues were derived from such contracts.


(B)

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes utilizing the asset and liability method.  This approach requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.  The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enacted date. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.


The Company currently has a net operating loss carryforward of approximately $41,226,000, which would equate to a deferred tax asset of approximately $16,284,300 at September 30, 2004.  The Company has not recorded that federal tax benefit in the accompanying financial statements, as management does not have sufficient information to estimate when or to the extent to which the Company will realize the tax benefit.


(C)

Earnings (Loss) Per Share

The Company reports its earnings (loss) per share in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Statement No. 128, "Earnings Per Share."  Statement No. 128 requires the presentation of basic and diluted loss per share on the face of the statement of operations.


Net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted net income (loss) per common share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if stock options were exercised.

1.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, CONTINUED:


(D) Financial Instruments

The Company considers all highly liquid interest-earning investments with a maturity of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. Short-term investments generally mature between three months to two years from the purchase date.  Investments with maturities beyond one year may be classified as short-term based on their highly liquid nature and because such marketable securities represent the investment of cash that is available for current operations.  All cash and short-term investments are classified as available for sale and are recorded at market value using the specific identification method; unrealized gains and losses are reflected in Other Comprehensive Income.


Investments consist of debt instruments.  Debt securities are classified as available for sale and are recorded at market using the specific identification method.  Unrealized gains and losses (excluding other-than-temporary impairments) are reflected in Other Comprehensive Income.


Investments are considered to be impaired when a decline in fair value is judged to be other-than-temporary.  The Company employs a systematic methodology that considers available evidence in evaluating potential impairment of our investments. If the cost of an investment exceeds its fair value, the Company evaluates, among other factors, general market conditions, the duration and extent to which the fair value is less than cost, as well as our intent and ability to hold the investment.  The Company also considers specific adverse conditions related to the financial health of and business outlook for the investee, including industry and sector performance, changes in technology, operational and financing cash flow factors, and rating agency actions.  Once a decline in fair value is determined to be other-than-temporary, an impairment charge is recorded and a new cost basis in the investment is established.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION:


The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2004 and 2003 have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for Form 10-QSB.  Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements.  In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring accruals, considered necessary for a fair presentation of the Company's financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the periods presented.


The results of operations for the interim periods ended September 30, 2004 and 2003 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.  These interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the December 31, 2003 consolidated financial statements.

ACQUISITION OF SPECTRUM SCIENCES & SOFTWARE, INC.:


On April 3, 2003, Spectrum Sciences & Software Holdings Corp. (formerly Silva Bay International, Inc.) entered into an amended and restated agreement and plan of merger with Spectrum Sciences & Software, Inc., pursuant to which Spectrum Sciences & Software, Inc. became Spectrum Sciences & Software Holdings Corp.’s wholly owned subsidiary.  As part of this agreement, 2,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock were issued to Donal Myrick, the sole stockholder of Spectrum Sciences & Software, Inc.


The acquisition was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting; accordingly, the purchase price has been allocated to reflect the fair value of assets and liabilities acquired at the date of acquisition.  Due to the composition of the majority of the governing body and senior management of the Company being the same as Spectrum Sciences & Software, Inc. prior to the April 3, 2003 acquisition, Spectrum Sciences & Software, Inc. has been deemed to be the accounting acquirer (a reverse acquisition).

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS:


Transactions related to BG Capital Group Limited, Endeavor Group, LLC and Related Stockholder

The Company was provided management consulting services by Endeavor Capital Group, LLC, which is owned by one of the stockholders of the Company.  The terms of the original consulting agreement between Endeavor Capital Group, LLC and the Company was from March 1, 2003, to March 1, 2004.  Consulting fees of $4,000 a month for January and February, 2004 and expenses of $15,106 are reported as consulting fees in the accompanying financial statements.


On March 11, 2004, the Company entered into a new consulting agreement with the stockholder. The term of the agreement was for a one year period, and the stockholder was tasked with bringing to the Company’s attention potential or actual opportunities which meet its business objectives or logical extensions thereof, alert the Company to new or



12







emerging high potential forms of production and distribution, comment on corporate development, identify respective suitable merger or acquisition candidates and related due diligence and other such planning and development services as requested by the Company.


On March 11, 2004, as a result of execution of the new consulting agreement, the stockholder received options to purchase 9,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at a per share exercise price of equal to the lesser of $1.65 or the fair market value at the time of exercise.  In accordance with FASB Statement No. 123, Accounting for Stock-based Compensation, the Company recorded consulting expense of $11,418,038 in the first quarter of 2004, based on the fair value of the stock options at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes pricing model.


On April 16, 2004, the Company and a stockholder amended and restated the March 11, 2004, consulting agreement.  The amended agreement extended the term of the contract to April 19, 2006, and contained an exclusivity provision.  As part of that agreement, the stockholder was issued options to acquire an additional 9,000,000 shares of common stock at a per share exercise price equal to the lesser of $1.95 or 60% of the closing price on the day preceding notice of exercise.  In addition, the stockholder was issued options to acquire 5,000,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.65 as a result of his role in the now abandoned Inland Fabricators LLC (IFAB) transaction.  In accordance with FASB Statement No. 123, the Company recorded consulting expense of $25,840,262 in the second quarter of 2004, based on the fair value of the stock options at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes pricing model.  The total options granted to the stockholder during the nine months ended September 30, 2004, were 23,000,000.  The Company has since entered into a new consulting agreement with this stockholder.  See note 14a, Subsequent Events.


The stockholder exercised 21,178,300 options during the first six months of 2004 with an aggregate exercise price of $37,097,685.  The Company received $31,047,685 of cash from the stockholder and converted outstanding debt of $3,529,873 owed to the stockholder and related companies in lieu of cash for exercise of these options.  The Company owed the stockholder $792,030 at December 31, 2003.  The stockholder had advanced the Company $672,551 during the first four months of 2004 to pay operating expenses, and the Company had accrued interest of $7,792 on two interest-bearing notes in the first quarter of 2004.  In addition, the stockholder paid for certain investor relations expenses totaling $2,065,000 during the first quarter of 2004 on behalf of the Company.  During the second quarter of 2004 the Company reversed $7,500 of those expenses bringing the total investor relations expense paid by the stockholder on behalf of the Company to $2,057,500.  As a result of these transactions the Company is owed $2,520,126 by the stockholder at September 30, 2004 which amount has been netted against stockholder equity.


These transactions are summarized in the following table:

On April 28, 2004, the Company was informed the SEC was conducting an informal inquiry into the Company as further described in Part II, Item 5 of this filing.  As a result of this inquiry, on May 4, 2004, the Company suspended the consulting agreement with this stockholder. The Company has since entered a new consulting agreement with this stockholder.  See note 14a, Subsequent Events.

Transactions related to the spouse of the President of the Company.


The Company in the second quarter of 2004 repaid $52,500 to the spouse of the President of the Company.  $50,000 was funds advanced to cover operating expenses in 2003 and $2,500 represented interest.


11.

STOCK OPTION PLAN:


On March 11, 2004, the board of directors approved and adopted a 2004 Non-Statutory Stock Option Plan for 10,000,000 shares of common stock to be granted to employees, non-employee Directors, consultants and advisors.  The vesting and terms of all of the options are determined by the Board of Directors and may vary by optionee; however, the term may be no longer than 10 years from the date of grant.  On April 16, 2004, the Board of Directors amended and restated the stock option plan by increasing the number of shares from 10,000,000 to 30,000,000.


As of June 30, 2004, 23,000,000 options were granted to a non-employee stockholder who provided consulting services to the Company as described in Note 10.  FASB Statement No. 123, Accounting for Stock-based Compensation, requires these options be valued at fair value at the date of grant.  The fair value of the first 9,000,000 options issued was estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions:  risk-free interest rate of 1%; no dividend yields; volatility factors of the expected market price of our common stock of 0.62; and an expected life of the options of 2 years. This generates a price of $1.27 per option at the date of grant, which was March 11, 2004.  As a result, $11,418,038 of consulting expense and additional paid-in capital was recorded at the date of grant.  The fair value of the remaining 14,000,000 options issued was estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions:  risk-free interest rate of 1%; no dividend yields; volatility factors of the expected market price of our common stock of 0.67; and an expected life of the options of 2 years. This generates a price of $1.85 per option at the date of grant, which was April 20, 2004. As a result, $25,840,261 of consulting expense and additional paid-in capital was recorded at the date of grant.  


On April 20, 2004, the Company awarded 602,500 stock options to certain employees, officers and directors for services rendered.  The Company applied the intrinsic value method of recognition and measurement under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 (APB No. 25), "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," to these stock options.  As such no compensation expense related to employee stock options at the date of grant is reflected in net income.  


The remaining 75,000 options were issued to an individual who is a consultant to the company.  On April 28, 2004, that consultant exercised 40,000 options and the company received $66,000 of cash at exercise.  These options were valued at the fair market value at the date of grant in accordance with FASB Statement 123, Accounting for Stock Compensation.  The fair value of these options issued was estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions:  risk free interest rate 1%; no dividend yields; volatility factors of the expected market price of our common stock of .67; and an expected life of the option of one year.  This generates a price of $1.67 per option at the date of grant.  As a result, $125,358 of consulting expense and additional paid in capital were recorded at the date of grant.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003, all of the Company’s revenue was generated in the United States of America (USA).  As of September 30, 2004, all of the Company’s long-lived assets are located in the USA.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:


On March 31, 2004, the Company signed a letter of intent to acquire all of the issued and outstanding membership interests of Inland Fabricators, LLC (IFAB).  The letter of intent was not binding and the transaction was subject to the execution of a definitive acquisition agreement by both parties.  The letter of intent expired on September 30, 2004, and the Company has since notified IFAB that the Company has no further intention of pursuing the proposed acquisition.


On May 6, 2004, the Company provided guarantees in the amount of $500,000 to secure an Irrevocable Letter of Credit(LOC) in favor of a major international construction firm.  The LOC provided the necessary performance guarantee for IFAB under a previously negotiated Purchase Order with that major international construction firm.  No draws on the LOC have been made as of September 30, 2004.  The LOC expires April 2005.  


Robert Genovese, the stockholder described in Note 10 to the accompanying financial statements, has submitted an additional $903,711 of expenses related to investor relations services paid by him or related companies on behalf of the Company.  However, the Company has not been provided adequate support documentation such as invoices, contracts, examples of work performed, and cancelled checks to support these expenses.  In addition, legal concerns exist with regard to these expenses based on language in the revised consulting agreement and the SEC informal inquiry.  This matter is further discussed in Part II, Item


14.

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS


a.

On October 1, 2004, the Company entered into a new Consulting Agreement with Robert Genovese which entirely replaced the previous consulting agreements with Mr. Genovese.  Under the new Consulting Agreement, Mr. Genovese is retained to render limited independent advisory consulting services concerning certain merger or acquisition candidates for Spectrum.  Mr. Genovese’s duties are only related to the candidates identified to the Company by Mr. Genovese before May 6, 2004 or to any subsequent merger or acquisition candidates specifically approved by the Board of Directors.  Mr. Genovese does not receive any additional compensation for these services.  The full text of the agreement was filed as part of a Schedule 13D filing by Mr. Genovese on October 4, 2004.


b.

As part of the new Consulting Agreement with Robert Genovese, the Company agreed to cancel 1,100,000 shares which were previously issued to Mr. Genovese and a related stock subscription receivable in the amount of approximately $1.8 million.  The shares were cancelled on October 18, 2004.


c.

The Company completed its due diligence review of Inland Fabricators and on October 21, 2004 notified IFAB that the Company was not proceeding with the acquisition of Inland Fabricators, LLC.


d.

On October 14, 2004, the Company paid off  in full its mortgage on 91 Hill Ave., Ft. Walton Beach, Florida for  approximately $1,503,000.


e.

On August 23, 2004, Spectrum Sciences & Software, Inc. (the wholly owned subsidiary of the Company) filed suit against the United States Government in the United States Court of Federal Claims based on the Government’s actions associated with the procurement of the improved Munitions Assembly Conveyor (MAC).  The MAC is a munitions handling and support equipment system used to build up munitions prior to loading on an aircraft.  As a result of Spectrum’s experience in both utilizing and producing the MAC, Spectrum identified numerous areas needing improvement and upgrading to this old system.  Based on Spectrum’s work, the Government entered into a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) for the purpose of improving munitions support equipment including the MAC.  As part of the CRADA negotiation, Spectrum identified its prior development and unique modifications and improvements that constituted Spectrum’s trade secrets and intellectual property associated with the MAC.  Following completion of the CRADA effort and delivery of the final report, the Government made overtures to purchase Spectrum’s rights in the redesigned MAC, however, the offer was rejected as being inadequate to compensate Spectrum for its efforts in redesigning the MAC and for the potential for further licensing opportunities.  Following the failure of these discussions, Spectrum alleges that the Government deliberately breached its obligation to Spectrum under the CRADA to safeguard and protect Spectrum’s intellectual property and proprietary information by improperly disclosing and widely disseminating to third parties, including Spectrum



16







competitors, Spectrum’s proprietary information via a draft Request for Proposal Solicitation dated May 1, 2004.  Based on the Government’s actions, Spectrum filed suit on three counts alleging:


·

Breach of Express Contract

·

Breach of Implied in Fact Contract

·

Misappropriation of Trade Secrets


Spectrum has requested damages in excess of $10,000,000 on the counts plus the award of Plaintiff’s costs, fees, expenses and attorney’s fees associated with this action.


The original response was due 60 days after filing of the action, however, the Department of Justice has requested an extension in the time for filing a response.  Spectrum has agreed to a response deadline of December 1, 2004.  The Company currently does not know what the outcome of this litigation will be.


f.

The contract for services at the Gila Bend AFAF and the Barry M. Goldwater Range terminated at midnight on September 30, 2004.  Spectrum is still in the process of completing repairs on several equipment items identified by the Air Force for repairs and for which the repairs could not be completed before contract termination.  All repairs should be completed by November 30, 2004.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATIONS


You should read the following discussion and analysis in conjunction with the unaudited financial statements (and notes thereto) and other financial information of our company appearing elsewhere in this report.


COMPARISON OF THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2004 AND SEPTEMBER 30, 2003

$    557,825

17.0%


Overall, revenues for the three-months ended September 30, 2004 decreased by 8% compared to the same period in 2003, primarily as a result of decreased sales in the management services division. Gross profit as a percentage of sales was 5.5% for the 3 month period ended September 30, 2004, compared to 17% for the prior year period, primarily as a result of decrease in gross profit in the Management Services and Manufacturing segment, offset by an increase in gross profit margin of the Engineering and Information Technology Services segment.  As of November 15, 2004, the Company has a backlog of $11.7 million.


With the closeout of our management services contract at Gila Bend and the Barry M. Goldwater Bombing Range (BMGR), which took place on September 30, 2004, the Company will experience a substantial drop in revenue (and associated costs) that will not be immediately replaced.  The Gila Bend contract represented 57% and 66% of the company’s revenues, approximately 9% and 6% of its gross profit for the three months and nine months ending September 30 respectively.  Overall company profit margins are expected to increase with the closing of the Gila Bend contract.


In the area of Operations & Maintenance, Spectrum is relying on our superior reputation in the field and solid past performance to seek future bombing range operations and maintenance (O &M) contracts.  We are currently pursuing a large USAF range contract in a teaming effort with others.  Additionally, there are two other large range O & M opportunities that we are actively exploring.  Possible start dates for these tasks range from as early as July 2005 to as late as October 2006.




17







Spectrum management has spent the last two quarters positioning the company for the future.  The company has secured additional manufacturing space via a lease agreement with an option to purchase for a building adjacent to our corporate headquarters.  This increased capacity has added a metal treatment capability that the manufacturing division did not previously possess.  The company is actively performing treatment on its own products (reducing overall costs of production) and using the excess capacity to support local manufacturing concerns including several large defense contractors in the area.  With this new facility, we have increased our manufacturing space by 33,000 square feet, positioning ourselves for performance on several large multi-year manufacturing contracts we are pursuing.


Promising fourth quarter activities for our Engineering and Information Technology division include second level demonstrations and business negotiations with a major systems integrator in support of the America Shield Initiative. This Border Patrol initiative will first retrofit and upgrade the existing Border Patrol Integrated Surveillance Intelligence System (ISIS) used on the US northern border with Canada and then completely reengineer this system. In addition, we will be scheduling work group meetings with Border Patrol agencies in Arizona for southern US border activities. We anticipate these working group meetings to take place in the December - January timeframe. A Safe Borders presentation / demonstration at a joint meeting of the Customs and Border Protection  (CBP), Applied Technology Division and the Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE), Office of Air and Marine Interdiction, C2ISR (Command, Control, Intelligence, Surveillance  & Reconnaissance) section at the invitation of the Acting Assistant Commissioner, CBP, was delayed by the CBP (from anticipated third quarter activities). This delay was due to a new reorganization which will integrate certain border protection activities from the ICE back into the CBP. The presentation is currently scheduled for mid November, 2004.


Technically, Spectrum has continued to enhance the functionality of the existing Safe Borders application.  To date, Safe Borders represents approximately 13,000 lines of code.

10.4%


Revenues in the Management Services division decreased approximately 19% for the three month period ended September 30, 2004 compared to 2003.  Gross profit as a percent of revenues declined by approximately 94% due to increased expenses associated with the close out of the Gila Bend contract.  Other increases in expenses are primarily due to the collective bargaining agreement for Spectrum’s largest subcontractor, Washington Group International. In addition, revenues and gross profit margins were adversely affected due to the way the Company’s largest range management contract was originally bid in 1999, in that the fifth and final option year of the contract was bid at overall lower rates in order to be successful in the contract award process.  This bid strategy is no longer employed by the company.


The Gila Bend contract represented 57% of the company’s revenue and approximately 9% of the company’s gross profit for the quarter ended September 30, 2004.  The loss of this contract will have a significant impact on the company’s revenue that will not be immediately replaced.  However, because of the relatively low profit margin associated with this contract the overall impact of the loss of this of this contract on gross profit will be minimal.  The company has determined to pursue O & M contracts that are of the cost plus fixed fee type in the future, versus a firm fixed price contract such as the Gila Bend contract.


Spectrum is relying on our reputation in the field and solid past performance to seek future bombing range O & M contracts.  We are currently pursuing a large USAF range contract in a teaming effort with others.  Additionally, there are two other large range O & M opportunities that we are actively exploring.  Possible start dates for these tasks range from as early as July 2005 to as late as October 2006.

Revenues in the Engineering and Information Technology Services segment decreased 24 % for the period ended September 30, 2004 as compared to the same period in 2003.  Gross profit as a percent of revenues was 53.8%, a decrease of 1%.


This decrease in revenues was due to non-recurring license revenues realized in the third quarter of 2003. We anticipate we will restore our year-end revenue position in this segment to 2003 levels by the close of the fourth quarter with orders for government fiscal year 2005 (GFY05) being delivered at this time.  The segment also continues to enjoy the high profit margin potential of firm fixed priced contracts used to procure required software products.  In addition, costs of revenues continues to decline as consultants are converted to company employees and strict financial management processes are put in place.

Revenue in the Manufacturing segment increased by 80% for the three-month period ended September 30, 2004 as compared to the same period in 2003.  The increase in revenue is a direct result of programmed pursuit and acquisition of more engineering and prototype work and was based on repetitive contract work that the division has secured as compared to the previous year.


Gross profit decreased by $86,476 for the three-month period ended September 30, 2004 as compared to the same period in 2003.  Spectrum Manufacturing has completed First Article Test Items on four separate contracts in the third quarter.  These First Article Test units require considerable effort up front for materials and fixtures.  The building, inspecting, testing and Government Approval of a First Article verification item is a process required prior to Government Approval of items for full-scale production.  This is required on all items that have never been produced by Spectrum before to verify our manufacturing capability.  We have completed all inspections and testing and have been approved by the government for full-scale production.  In addition to purchasing materials on an economic scale they must be bought in large lots.  As a result, we have very large material inventories that will be used in the coming months as we complete our production items.


Our manufacturing division lost up to three weeks of production time due to the preparations for, weathering of, damage repair and cleanup after two hurricanes in the last quarter.  In addition, several of our prime vendors were completely down for eight weeks, and a few of our vendors are still not back to 100% production capability.  We had to absorb the processes we had outsourced to those vendors back into our workload, or, in some cases, find other vendors and redirect materials to them for processing.  We are currently back to 90% production and should return to full production in the next two weeks.

Other Income and Expenses

Other income and expense, net - Net other income was $48,276 and $43,680 for the three-month period ended September 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively.  The increase is attributable to an increase in rental income from L-3 Communications in 2004 of 9.3%.

Overall, revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 increased by 0.2% compared to the same period in 2003 due to increased marketing activity and the Manufacturing Division’s revenue increases.  Gross profit as a percentage of revenue decreased 30% for the nine month period ended September 30, 2004.  The increases in revenue are primarily due to increases in Manufacturing segment sales on the AMRAAM container contract.  Offsetting these increase in revenues are the costs associated with the close out of the Gila Bend contract, and the impacts of two hurricanes (Frances and Ivan) affecting production capabilities in the Manufacturing segment.

Revenues in the Engineering and Information Technology Services segment decreased by 10% for the period ended September 30, 2004 as compared to the same period in 2003. We anticipate we will restore our year-end revenue position to 2003 levels by the close of the fourth quarter with GFY05 orders being delivered at this time.  


Gross profit as a percent of revenues was 55.2%, an increase of more than 5% as compared to the same period in 2003.  This increase in gross profit is attributable to the restructuring of workflow and software production in the division.  The segment also continues to enjoy high profit margin potential of firm-fixed priced contracts used to procure required software products.  In addition, cost of revenues continues to decline as consultants are converted to company employees and strict financial management processes are put in place.  Also during the period we have increased our efforts in achieving our ISO 9001 qualifications leading to our Capability Maturity Model Integration (CMMI) certification.

We are currently producing First Articles for aircraft maintenance stands and other specialized military containers. We have been qualified on five First Article Acceptance Tests year to date.  We are in full production on only two of the items.  A First Article item is similar to a prototype developed under an awarded contract and must be approved by the customer prior to full production.  An Acceptance Test is a verification of our manufacturing and quality control procedures to ensure that the product being delivered meets all customer requirements and specifications.

Selling, general and administrative expenses - Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses increased 4,320% for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2004, as compared to the same period in 2003.  


In the quarter ended March 31, 2004, the company previously recorded $11,418,038 for stock-based consulting compensation. In the quarter ended June 30, there was $25,901,462 recorded for stock-based consulting compensation year-to-date.  During the quarter ended September 30, 2004, there were no expenses recorded for stock-based consulting compensation.   The impact of the grant of options to a consultant the first and second quarters caused this expense to the Company. However, the exercise of the options year-to-date also increased additional paid-in capital by $37,161,563.  In addition, the Company recorded $2,337,652 of investor relations expenses as of September 30, 2004.


The Company had legal costs and professional fees of $800,074 and director’s fees and expenses of $85,915 year to date.  All of these costs are associated with the public filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, the costs of management of a public company, the response to the SEC informal inquiry and consultations in regard to corporate merger and acquisition issues.  These types of expenses were not present in the nine months ended September 30, 2003.


Other Income and Expenses


Interest income and expense, net - Net interest expense was $35,107 and $210,785 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The reduction of $175,678, or a reduction of 83.3%, is due to the decrease of all principal balances eliminated except the debt on the real estate, as well as the increased interest income earned of $126,776 on the funds held in near-term investments.

Other income and expense, net - Net other expense was $145,470 and $115,218 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively.  The increase of net other income in the amount of $30,251 is attributable to an increase in rental income from L-3 Communications in 2004 of 9.3%.


Capital and liquidity


Cash and equivalents increased by $ 4,575,443 as of September 30, 2004, as compared to December 31, 2003.  At September 30, 2004, cash and equivalents totaled $5,272,402, as compared with $211,782 at September 30, 2003.  As of September 30, 2004, the Company had $21,919,129 in money market accounts and short-term government-backed securities as a result of investing funds received from the exercise of stock options.

ITEM 1.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS


Harassment Suit


In December 2002, three Spectrum Sciences and Software, Inc. employees each filed complaints for violation of civil rights, discrimination, harassment, hostile work environment and retaliation in the United States District Court, District of Arizona.  The case numbers for these complaints are: CIV '02 2621PHX MHM; CIV '02 2619 PHX DKD; and CIV '02 2620 PHX FJM.  In January 2003, Spectrum filed answers to all three complaints, denying all allegations of wrongdoing. All three plaintiffs are claiming "undue stress and anxiety" from Spectrum's actions.  There are no damage amounts specified in any of the actions.  The plaintiffs are requesting the following: Compensatory damages, plus special incidental damages in such a sum as may be proven at trial; punitive damages in such a sum as may be proven at trial; for cost for the suit; for attorney's fees; and for other such relief as the Court deems just and proper.  The Company intends to vigorously defend its position.  The cases have progressed through the establishment of a case management plan with the courts and a consolidation of all the cases into a single action.  Plaintiff and Defendant Depositions were taken and additional discovery is continuing.    The final pretrial conference was completed and the action was set for a trial date of November 15, 2004 in Phoenix, Arizona.  Due to a conflict in the Federal Court calendar, the case has been rescheduled for a trial date of January 31, 2005.  The Company currently does not know what the outcome of this litigation will be.


Section 16 (b) Claim


In July, 2004, a complaint was filed in the United States District Court, Southern District of Florida by Todd Augenbaum [Plaintiff] against Robert Genovese, Endeavor Capital Group, LLC, BG Capital Group, Ltd, and Spectrum Sciences and Software Holdings Corp.  The suit alleges that Mr. Genovese and his affiliated companies beneficially owned more than 10% of the outstanding common stock of Spectrum and that Mr. Genovese acted as an officer and director of the Company.  Based on these assertions, the suit claims that Mr. Genovese was a statutory insider of Spectrum, and as such, is presumed to have had access to material non-public information concerning the Company’s operations and future business prospects, and is therefore subject to the provisions of Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act.  The action was brought by the Plaintiff in order to obtain a recovery for the Company of short-swing profits alleged to have been unlawfully obtained by Mr. Genovese through the purchase and sale of Company securities.  The Company is a nominal defendant in the action and has no liability for the claims asserted therein against the other defendants.  The Company’s answer to the complaint was filed in the U. S. District Court, Ft. Lauderdale, FL on August 26, 2004. The plaintiff filed an Amended Complaint on October 18, 2004 and the Company is preparing its response as a nominal defendant.  The Company cannot currently make any prediction of what the outcome of the litigation will be.


Contract for Operations and Maintenance of the Gila Bend Air Force Auxiliary Field (AFAF) and the Barry M. Goldwater Range (BMGR)


The Company was the contractor providing services to the Air Force at Gila Bend AFAF and the BMGR (Barry M. Goldwater Bombing Range).  The contract ran through September 30, 2004.  The Government solicited for a new contract under Solicitation F02604-03-R0041.  As the incumbent contractor, Spectrum submitted a bid for continued services for the five year period starting October 1, 2004.  On July 21, 2004, Spectrum was notified via certified mail that the contract had been awarded to another firm.  On July 26, 2004, Spectrum filed a protest with the General Counsel, Government Accountability Office (GAO) asserting that the source selection was materially flawed and that Spectrum’s proposal was not properly evaluated in accordance with the criteria set forth in the solicitation.  On August 10, 2004, Spectrum was notified that the GAO had dismissed the protest and Spectrum management determined not to request reconsideration by the GAO.  Spectrum’s contract at Gila Bend and the BMGR ended September 30, 2004.  


Claim by the former President of the Company, Mr. Donal R. Myrick.


On August 24, 2004, the former President and CEO of the Company, Mr. Donal R. Myrick filed a complaint for alleged breach of employment contracts and damages associated with a delayed stock sale.  The case was filed in the Circuit



25







Court, First Judicial Circuit in and for Okaloosa County, Florida under case number 04CA3510.  The suit alleges three counts against the Company:


·

Spectrum has breached its obligation under an oral employment agreement for the period Nov 2002 to December 2003 by failing and refusing to pay salary or benefits;

·

Spectrum has breached its obligation under a written employment agreement starting December 2003 by failing to fully compensate Mr. Myrick under that agreement up to the time of his resignation, and

·

Spectrum, by its failure to issue an opinion letter to allow the sale of Mr. Myrick’s stock in the open market, is liable for the damages that occurred due to the difference in value as to the date the registration of transfer should have occurred and the eventual date that Mr. Myrick was able to liquidate the stock in the open market.


Mr. Myrick’s suit demands damages of and from Spectrum together with interest and costs and such other and further relief as the Court deems just and proper.  The Company intends to vigorously defend its position in the case and filed its answer to Mr. Myrick’s complaint on October 25, 2004.  The Company currently does not know what the outcome of this litigation will be.


Munitions Assembly Conveyor (MAC) Lawsuit


On August 23, 2004, Spectrum Sciences & Software, Inc. (the wholly owned subsidiary of the Company) filed suit against the United States Government in the United States Court of Federal Claims based on the Government’s actions associated with the procurement of the improved Munitions Assembly Conveyor (MAC).  The MAC is a munitions handling and support equipment system used to build up munitions prior to loading on an aircraft.  As a result of Spectrum’s experience in both utilizing and producing the MAC, Spectrum identified numerous areas needing improvement and upgrading to this old system.  Based on Spectrum’s work, the Government entered into a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) for the purpose of improving munitions support equipment including the MAC.  As part of the CRADA negotiation, Spectrum identified its prior development and unique modifications and improvements that constituted Spectrum’s trade secrets and intellectual property associated with the MAC.  Following completion of the CRADA effort and delivery of the final report, the Government made overtures to purchase Spectrum’s rights in the redesigned MAC, however, the offer was rejected as being inadequate to compensate Spectrum for its efforts in redesigning the MAC and for the potential for further licensing opportunities.  Following the failure of these discussions, Spectrum alleges that the Government deliberately breached its obligation to Spectrum under the CRADA to safeguard and protect Spectrum’s intellectual property and proprietary information by improperly disclosing and widely disseminating to third parties, including Spectrum competitors, Spectrum’s proprietary information via a draft Request for Proposal Solicitation dated May 1, 2004.  Based on the Government’s actions, Spectrum filed suit on three counts alleging:


·

Breach of Express Contract

·

Breach of Implied in Fact Contract

·

Misappropriation of Trade Secrets


Spectrum has requested damages in excess of $10,000,000 on the counts plus the award of Plaintiff’s costs, fees, expenses and attorney’s fees associated with this action.


The original response was due 60 days after filing of the action.  However, the Department of Justice has requested and extension in the time for filing a response.  Spectrum has agreed to a response deadline of December 1, 2004.  The Company currently does not know what the outcome of this litigation will be.
