NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2008 and 2007

(UNAUDITED)
Note 1. Basis of Presentation
The condensed consolidated financial statements included herein are unaudited; such financial statements contain all normal recurring accruals and adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly the consolidated financial position of SM&A at September 30, 2008, the consolidated results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Comprehensive income is equivalent to net income for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
Accounting measurements at interim dates inherently involve greater reliance on estimates than at year-end and could be materially different than at year-end. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include footnotes and certain financial presentations normally required under generally accepted accounting principles. Therefore, these financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2007, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 7, 2008.
Reclassifications
Certain prior period balances have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. Accrued contingent consideration accounts were reclassified from accrued compensation and related benefits to accrued contingent consideration.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In October 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position FAS 157-3, “Determining the Fair Value of a Financial Asset When the Market for That Asset Is Not Active” (“FSP 157-3”). FSP 157-3 clarified the application of FAS 157. FSP 157-3 demonstrated how the fair value of a financial asset is determined when the market for that financial asset is inactive. FSP 157-3 was effective upon issuance, including prior periods for which financial statements had not been issued. The implementation of this standard did not have an impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In May 2008, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.” The purpose of the new standard is to provide a consistent framework for determining what accounting principles should be used when preparing U.S. GAAP financial statements. Previous guidance did not properly rank the accounting literature. The new standard is effective 60 days following the SEC’s approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board amendments to AU Section 411, “The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity With Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.” The adoption of SFAS 162 is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141R, “Business Combinations,” which replaces SFAS No. 141. The statement retains the purchase method of accounting for acquisitions, but requires a number of changes, including changes in the way assets and liabilities are recognized in the purchase accounting. It also changes the recognition of assets acquired and liabilities assumed arising from contingencies, requires the capitalization of in-process research and development at fair value, and requires the expensing of acquisition-related costs as incurred. SFAS No. 141R is effective for us beginning January 1, 2009 and will apply prospectively to business combinations completed on or after that date.

Note 5. Acquisitions
On February 9, 2007, the Company completed an acquisition of Project Planning, Incorporated (“PPI”) pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement, as amended. As part of the agreement, as amended, the Company could pay up to an additional $9.5 million over a three year period upon satisfaction of certain revenue goals. As of September 30, 2008, the selling shareholder of PPI earned approximately $6.9 million of the remaining cash portion of the purchase price, of which $733,000 and $2.3 million was recorded as a selling, general and administrative expense during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, respectively.
On September 14, 2007, the Company completed an acquisition of Performance Management Associates, Inc. (“PMA”) pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement, as amended. As part of the agreement, as amended, the Company could pay up to an additional $2.0 million over a three year period upon satisfaction of certain revenue goals, of which $500,000 was recorded as goodwill during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008.

The Company recorded $2.0 million and $500,000 of additional goodwill related to the PPI and PMA earn-out provisions during the nine months ended September 30, 2008, respectively.
Note 7. Income Taxes
Our effective income tax rates for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 were 39.4%, 41.0%, 40.9% and 40.6%, respectively. Income tax expense for the three months ended September 30, 2008 was impacted by the reduction of the fiscal 2008 effective tax rate due to the lower estimated annual income before income taxes.
Note 8. Credit Facility
The Company has a revolving credit agreement which allows for unsecured borrowings up to $10.0 million at the Company’s option of prime rate minus one half of one percent (-0.50%) per annum or LIBOR plus two and one quarter percent (2.25%) per annum. The revolving credit agreement is renewable annually on May 1st of each year. The agreement requires the Company to comply with certain financial and negative covenants (as defined in the agreement). The credit line was renewed on May 1, 2008. At September 30, 2008, the Company was in compliance with its covenants and had no outstanding borrowings under the line of credit and $10.0 million was available.

In 2007, the Company’s Compensation Committee approved the 2008 Executive Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) which includes a long-term incentive based compensation component titled Long Term Incentive Plan (“LTIP”). This Plan is designed to drive behavior to reach revenue, net income, and earnings per share targets established by the Compensation Committee. The LTIP will reward sustained performance over a three-year period that substantially increases shareholder value and will cover three-year calendar periods. The Compensation Committee intends to issue performance stock on an annual basis with successive three-year performance periods. For the 2007 through 2009 plan period, the criteria in the LTIP will be the achievement of $0.96 EPS, over any fiscal year period within the applicable three-year performance period, on or before December 31, 2009. If the $0.96 EPS is met prior to December 31, 2009, the performance stock will be issued on March 15 of the calendar year following the end of such fiscal year of reaching the maximum target. If the criteria are not met by December 31, 2009, the number of shares granted will be determined in accordance with a predetermined sliding scale. EPS performance below $0.66 a share will receive no award. For the 2008 through 2010 plan period, the criteria in the LTIP will be the achievement of $0.79 EPS, over any fiscal year period within the applicable three-year performance period, on or before December 31, 2010. If the $0.79 EPS is met prior to December 31, 2010, the performance stock will be issued on March 15 of the calendar year following the end of such fiscal year of reaching the maximum target. If the criteria are not met by December 31, 2010, the number of shares granted will be determined in accordance with a predetermined sliding scale. EPS performance below $0.54 a share will receive no award. Determination that the EPS target has been achieved will be by Audit Committee of the Board. There was no expense recorded as of September 30, 2008.

Revenue increased 0.8% or $0.2 million to $25.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2008 compared to the same period of the prior year, and increased 3.5% or $2.6 million to $76.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 compared to the same period of the prior year. We attribute the increase in revenues to the execution on our corporate strategy to diversify our services and solutions across Program Services to offset the traditionally inconsistent Competition Management revenue trends.
Revenues from our Competition Management and Program Services service lines were 40.3% and 59.7% of total revenues, respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 2008 as compared to 54.2% and 45.8% in 2007. During the first nine months of 2008, there have been fewer competitive procurement opportunities compared to 2007. We believe this is primarily attributable to reduced sponsorship for new procurements and reduced levels of new large procurements during this election year. Larger Federal procurement opportunities have the tendency to drive higher revenue levels due to the larger and more complex proposals that are required. Large Federal procurement opportunities trends have been variable and have traditionally contributed to inconsistent Competition Management revenue within SM&A. Success fees for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 were $82,000 and $308,000 compared to $439,000 and $557,000 for the same periods of the prior year, respectively. The Company has continued to experience growth in Program Services revenue due to increases in both planning and scheduling and earned-value management systems service revenues.
Total aerospace and defense (“A&D”) client revenue increased to $20.1 million and $60.7 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 as compared to $18.1 million and $58.0 million compared to the same periods in 2007. Non-A&D client revenues decreased 25.7% to $5.2 million from $7.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, and decreased 0.6% to $16.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 compared to $16.2 million for the same period in 2007.

Gross Margin
The following table presents our gross margin results compared to the same period of the prior year:

Gross margin percentage
    40.2 %     40.4 %     39.3 %     39.4 %
 
                       
Gross margin increased $63,000, or 1.0%, to $10.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2008 compared to $10.1 million for the same period of the prior year, and increased $1.0 million, or 3.4%, to $30.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 compared to $29.2 million for the same period in 2007. As a percentage of revenue, gross margin slightly decreased to 40.2% and 39.3% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 compared to 40.4% and 39.4% for the same period of 2007. The Company’s continuous efforts to improve margins was offset by pricing structures offered to our clients, which included $99,000 and $286,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008. We recorded success fees of $308,000 and $557,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Excluding success fees the gross margin percentage increased 0.7% and 0.2% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008. We expect gross margins to be approximately 39% and 40% for fiscal year 2008.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses (“SG&A”)
SG&A consist principally of salary and benefit costs for executive, sales and administrative personnel, stock-based compensation, depreciation and amortization, training and recruiting, professional services and other general corporate activities. SG&A expenditures increased $0.9 million or 12.7% and $4.9 million or 23.8%, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 compared to the same period of the prior year. These increases are due primarily to the Company’s expansion thru acquisitions and the related earn-outs, the Company’s offsite training conference held in March 2008 and professional fees related to the recent proxy contest, offset by the expenditures related to the changes in management incurred in 2007 including the retirement payment to the Company’s former Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.
On October 31, 2008, the Company announced a definitive agreement under which an affiliate of Odyssey Investment Partners, LLC, will acquire SM&A for $6.25 per share in cash in a transaction with a total value of approximately $119.6 million. The transaction, which is expected to close near the end of calendar 2008 or early in the first quarter of 2009, is subject to SM&A stockholder approval, antitrust clearance under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act and other customary conditions. Pursuant to the merger agreement, the Company will solicit alternative acquisition proposals from third parties for 45 days subject to compliance with specific procedures set forth in the merger agreement. The Company does not intend to disclose developments with respect to any solicitations it makes or inquiries it receives until the Board has made a decision regarding any alternative proposal and subject to compliance with the merger agreement. The Company recorded costs associated with this transaction for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 of $256,000.
The former Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of SM&A solicited stockholders to vote for a dissident slate of four directors he recommended replacing four independent incumbent directors. We settled the contest in May 2008, prior to our annual meeting of stockholders. This contest demanded management’s time and corporate resources diverting focus from core business activities. SM&A retained a third party proxy solicitor to assist the Company in the solicitation of proxies for a fixed fee. The Company’s expenses related to the solicitation in excess of those normally spent for an annual meeting with an uncontested director election were approximately $920,000, of which $40,000 and $920,000 was expensed during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, respectively.

Excluding the items detailed above, SG&A as a percentage of revenue decreased to 20.9% and 20.6% from 22.3% and 22.6% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
Operating Income
Operating income decreased $810,000 or 26.7% to $2.2 million and $3.9 million or 45.3% to $4.7 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 compared to the same period of 2007. As a percentage of revenue, operating income decreased to 8.7% and 6.2% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 as compared to the same period of the prior year. Operating income primarily decreased due to the increase in SG&A expenditures discussed above.
Income Tax Expense
Our effective income tax rates for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 were 39.4%, 41.0%, 40.9% and 40.6%, respectively. Income tax expense for the three months ended September 30, 2008 was impacted by the reduction of the fiscal 2008 effective tax rate due to the lower estimated annual income before income taxes. We estimate the tax rate for the full year 2008 will be approximately 41 percent.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The following table presents selected financial information and statistics for each of the periods ended presented:
                 
(in thousands)   September 30, 2008   December 31, 2007
Cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments
  $ 11,536     $ 16,032  
Accounts receivable, net
  $ 25,193     $ 18,171  
Prepaid expenses and other current assets
  $ 2,683     $ 2,011  
Working capital
  $ 28,197     $ 28,904  
As of September 30, 2008, the Company had $11.5 million in cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments, a decrease from $16.0 million at December 31, 2007. The principal components of this net decrease were included within the net cash provided by operating activities of $1.3 million, including the increase in the number of day’s sales outstanding (“DSO”) to 91 days from 69 days at September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively, the $3.6 million payment on the earn-out amount earned by the principal of PPI and approximately $900,000 of expenses paid on the total $1.1 million of fees related to the Company’s offsite training event, and the cash used in financing activities for the share buyback activity in which the Company repurchased $3.1 million of common shares during the nine months ended September 30, 2008, which approximated the daily maximum volume limit under SEC rules. The cash used for these expenditures was partially offset by the proceeds from the sale of marketable securities. The increase in DSO’s at September 30, 2008, was attributed to the $1.4 million increase in unbilled revenues at September 30, 2008 from December 31, 2007 due to the cut-off of the billing cycle at period end and the timing of cash receipts related to two of our largest clients. Periodically, when our larger client’s contracts are under renewal we are authorized to continue providing our services while the extended contract is being processed. This process can take two to three months to finalize at which time we invoice all unbilled amounts. Our clients typically pay the balances within 60 days upon receipt of our invoices. DSO’s, excluding the unbilled portion of

14


Table of Contents

accounts receivable, was 79 days which approximates our three year historical average of 80 days. We expect to reduce our DSO’s to a level at or below our three year historical average of 80 days before the end of this fiscal year.
We plan to use approximately $100,000 of cash on hand to implement additional modules and functionality to our existing Enterprise Resource Planning Software during the balance of fiscal year 2008.
We believe we have sufficient working capital available under the line of credit and that cash generated by continuing operations will be sufficient to fund operations for at least the next twelve months.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
The Company currently has no instruments that are sensitive to market risk.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

While the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures provide reasonable assurance that the appropriate information will be available on a timely basis, this assurance is subject to limitations inherent in any control system, no matter how well designed and administered.
Changes in Internal Controls
There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) identified in connection with the evaluation of our internal control performed during our last fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
