VERSAR, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(A) Basis of Presentation
     The accompanying consolidated condensed financial statements are presented in accordance with the requirements of Form 10-Q and consequently do not include all of the disclosures normally required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America or those normally made in Versar, Inc.’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report filed on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 26, 2009 for additional information.
     The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Versar, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (“Versar” or the “Company”). All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The financial information has been prepared in accordance with the Company’s customary accounting practices. Certain adjustments to the financial statements are necessary for fair presentation and are of a normal recurring nature as part of the operations of the business. In the opinion of management, the information reflects all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s consolidated financial position as of December 25, 2009, and the results of operations for the six-month and three-month periods ended December 25, 2009 and December 26, 2008. The results of operations for such periods, however, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for a full fiscal year.
     The Company has evaluated subsequent events through February 8, 2010, the date on which the financial statements were issued. Details on subsequent events are included in Note N of the financial statements.
(B) Accounting Estimates
     The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from those estimates.
(C) Contract Accounting
     Receivables related to contracts in process are stated at the lower of actual cost incurred plus accrued profits or incurred costs reduced by progress billings. The Company records income from major fixed-price contracts, extending over more than one accounting period, using the percentage-of-completion method. During performance of such contracts, estimated final contract prices and costs are periodically reviewed and revisions are made as required. The effects of these revisions are included in the periods in which the revisions are made. On cost-plus-fee type contracts, revenue is recognized to the extent of costs incurred plus a proportionate amount of fee earned, and on time-and-material contracts, revenue is recognized to the extent of billable rates times hours delivered plus material and other reimbursable costs incurred. Losses on contracts are recognized when they become known. Disputes arise in the normal course of the Company’s business on projects where the Company is contesting with customers for collection of funds because of events such as delays, changes in contract specifications and questions of cost allowability or collectibility. Such disputes, whether claims or unapproved change orders in the process of negotiation, are recorded at the lesser of their estimated net realized value or actual costs incurred and only when realization is probable and can be reliably estimated. Claims against the Company are recognized where loss is considered probable and reasonably determinable in amount. Management reviews outstanding receivables on a regular basis and assesses the need for reserves taking into consideration past collection history and other events that bear on the collectibility of such receivables.
(D) Income Taxes
     At December 25, 2009, the Company had approximately $1.5 million in deferred tax assets, which primarily relate to temporary differences between financial statement and income tax reporting. Such differences include depreciation, deferred compensation, accruals and reserves.

VERSAR, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
(E) Debt
     The Company has a line of credit facility with United Bank (the Bank) that provides for advances up to $7.5 million based upon qualifying receivables. The line of credit is subject to certain covenants related to the maintenance of financial ratios. These covenants require a minimum tangible net worth of $22.5 million; a maximum total liabilities to tangible net worth ratio not exceed 2.5 to 1; and a minimum current ratio of at least 1.25 to 1. Interest accrues on borrowings under the line of credit at the prime rate of interest less 1/2% with a floor interest rate of 3.5%. Failure to meet the covenant requirements gives the Bank the right to demand outstanding amounts due under the line of credit, which may impact the Company’s ability to finance its working capital requirements. As of December 25, 2009, the Company had no outstanding borrowings and was in compliance with the financial covenants. The Company has a letter of credit of approximately $455,147 outstanding under the line of credit facility which serves as collateral for surety bond coverage provided by the Company’s insurance carrier against project construction work. The letter of credit reduces the Company’s availability on the line of credit. Availability under the line of credit at December 25, 2009 was approximately $7 million. Obligations under the credit facility are guaranteed by Versar and each subsidiary individually and are secured by accounts receivable, equipment and intangibles, plus all insurance policies on property constituting collateral of Versar and its subsidiaries. The line of credit matures September 30, 2010.
(F) Notes Receivable
     In June and July 2009, the Company provided interim debt financing of $400,000 to General Power Green Energy, LLC (GPC) to cover project start up costs. The project involves the construction of a green 25 mega watt co-generation plant that burns landfill gas in turbine engines equipped with a steam generation unit. The note carries an annual interest rate of 10% and is due on March 31, 2010 or upon completion of project financing, if earlier. In addition, Versar will provide the program management and construct the facility. Versar also received a 7.5% ownership interest in GPC in connection with providing the loan. The Company has not assigned a value to the 7.5% ownership interest due to the fact that GPC is in its developmental stage, and no value can be placed on the ownership interest at this time.
     In July 2009, the Company provided $750,000 of short term debt financing to Lemko Corporation to enable them to buy long lead telecommunication equipment for several upcoming projects. Lemko and Versar had earlier announced a joint initiative to pursue the rural broadband telecommunications market. The note bears an annual interest rate of 12% and is due on May 31, 2010. The note is secured by the equipment inventory purchased. The note also has a conversion feature to a senior convertible debenture, which was not exercised by December 2009, therefore, the original terms of the note continue to be in effect.
     The Company accounts for these debt security investments under the guidance of ASC 320 Investments — Debt and Equity Securities. These notes are classified as held-to-maturity debt securities due to their short term nature and the fact that the Company has the intent and ability to hold to maturity. Therefore, these securities are recorded at amortized cost and presented as current assets in the interim consolidated balance sheet.
(G) Net Income Per Share
     Basic net income per common share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per common share also includes common stock equivalents outstanding during the period, if dilutive. The Company’s common stock equivalent shares consist of shares to be issued under outstanding stock options and unvested shares of restricted stock.

VERSAR, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
     For the six months ended December 25, 2009 and December 26, 2008, options to purchase approximately 291,000 and 64,000 shares of common stock were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the effect would be anti-dilutive. For the three months ended December 25, 2009 and December 26, 2008, options to purchase approximately 286,000 shares and 64,000 shares of common stock were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the effect would be anti-dilutive.
(H) Common Stock
     The Company has implemented an Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP) to allow eligible employees of Versar the opportunity to acquire an ownership interest in the Company’s common stock. As amended, the ESPP permits employees to purchase shares of Versar common stock from the open market at 95% of its fair market value. The ESPP qualifies as an “employee stock purchase plan” under Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code.
(I) Stock-Based Compensation
     In the first six months of fiscal year 2010, the Company awarded 67,000 shares of restricted stock to board members, executive officers and employees as part of the Company’s incentive plans for fiscal year 2009 performances. The awards vest over a period of one year to three years. Stock based compensation expense relating to all outstanding restricted stock and option awards totaled $206,000 and $514,000 for the six months ended December 25, 2009 and December 26, 2008, respectively. Stock based compensation expense for the three month periods ended December 25, 2009 and December 26, 2008 was $124,000 and $301,000, respectively. These expenses were included in the direct costs of services and overhead lines of the Consolidated Statements of Income.
     In November 2005, the stockholders approved the Versar, Inc. 2005 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2005 Plan”). The 2005 Plan provides for grants of incentive awards, including stock options, SARS, restricted stock, restricted stock units and performance based awards, to directors, officers and employees of the Company and its affiliates as approved from time to time by the Company’s Compensation Committee. Only employees may receive stock options classified as “incentive stock options”, also known as “ISO’s”. The per share exercise price for options and SARS granted under the 2005 Plan may not be less than the fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant. A maximum of 400,000 shares of common stock may be awarded under the 2005 Plan. No single director, officer, or employee may receive awards of more than 100,000 shares of common stock during the term of the 2005 Plan. The ability to make awards under the 2005 Plan will terminate in November 2015. As of December 25, 2009, approximately 69,000 shares are available for future grant under the 2005 Plan.
     The Company also maintains the Versar 2002 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2002 Plan”), the Versar 1996 Stock Option Plan (the “1996 Plan”) and the Versar 1992 Stock Option Plan (the “1992 Plan”).
     Under the 2002 Plan, restricted stock and other types of stock-based awards may be granted to any employee, service provider or director to whom a grant is approved from time to time by the Company’s Compensation Committee. A “service provider” is defined for purposes of the 2002 Plan as an individual who is neither an employee nor a director of the Company or any of its affiliates but who provides the Company or one of its affiliates substantial and important services. The ability to make awards under the 2002 Plan will terminate in September 2012. As of December 25, 2009, approximately 37,500 shares are available for future grant.
     Under the 1996 Plan, options were granted to key employees, directors and service providers at the fair market value on the date of grant. Each option expires on the earlier of the last day of the tenth year after the date of grant or after expiration of a period designated in the option agreement. The 1996 Plan has expired and no additional options may be granted under this plan. The Company will continue to maintain the plan until all previously granted options have been exercised, forfeited or expire. As of December 25, 2009, there were vested stock options to purchase 50,761 shares of common stock outstanding under the 1996 Plan.
     Under the 1992 Plan, options were granted to key employees at the fair market value on the date of grant and became exercisable during the five-year period from the date of the grant at 20% per year. Options were granted with a ten year term and expire if not exercised by the tenth anniversary of the grant date. The 1992 Plan has expired and no

additional options may be granted under this plan. The Company will continue to maintain the plan until all previously granted options have been exercised, forfeited or expire. As of December 25, 2009, there were vested stock options to purchase 83,500 shares of common stock outstanding under the 1992 Plan.
     A summary of activity under the Company’s stock incentive plans for both ISOs and un-qualified options as of December 25, 2009, and changes during the first six months of fiscal year 2010 are presented below:

     The intrinsic value of the 100,000 shares of option exercised during the first six months of fiscal year 2010 was approximately $131,500. As of December 25, 2009, there were unvested options to purchase approximately 10,000 shares outstanding under the plans. Vesting of these options is conditioned on the Company’s stock price reaching certain thresholds over a fixed period. The Company expects to recognize estimated compensation costs of $42,000 immediately when the pricing and service conditions of these options are met in the future.
(J) New Accounting Pronouncements
     In June 2009, the FASB issued the FASB Accounting Standards Codification TM and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“Codification”). The Codification is now the source for authoritative United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities. The codification is effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. The Codification has superseded all then-existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards. References to legacy GAAP on this report have been replaced by references to the Codification, where appropriate.
     In August 2009, the FASB amended guidance in FASB Accounting Standards CodificationTM (ASC) 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, to clarify how entities should estimate the fair value of liabilities. The amendments provide clarification that in circumstances in which a quoted price in an active market for the identical liability is not available, a reporting entity is required to measure fair value using one or more of the following valuation techniques: (1) a valuation technique that uses (a) the quoted price of the identical liability when traded as an asset or (b) quoted prices for similar liabilities or similar liabilities when traded as assets and/or (2) another valuation technique that is consistent with fair value principles such as an income or market approach. The amendments also clarify that when estimating the fair value of a liability, a reporting entity is not required to consider the existence of transfer restrictions on that liability. The Company adopted the amended guidance effective October 1, 2009. The adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition and results of operations.
     In September 2009, the FASB ratified the final consensus on Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Issue 08-1, Revenue Arrangements With multiple Deliverables, (“Issue 08-1”) which will supersede ASC 605-25 (formerly EITF Issue 00-21, Revenue Arrangements With Multiple Deliverables). Issue 08-1 addresses how arrangement consideration should be allocated to separate units of accounting, when applicable. Although Issue 08-1 retains the criteria from ASC 605-25 for when delivered items in a multiple deliverable arrangement should be considered separate units of accounting, it removes the previous separation criterion under ASC 605-25 that objective and reliable evidence of the fair value of any undelivered

items must exist for the delivered items to be considered a separate unit or separate units of accounting. The final consensus is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010. Entities can elect to apply Issue 08-1 prospectively to new or materially modified arrangements after the effective date or restrospectively for all periods presented. Issue 08-1 was issued as Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2009-13 in October 2009 and amended ASC 605-25. The Company does not anticipate that ASU 2009-13 will have any impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
     In September 2009, the FASB ratified the final consensus on EITF Issue 09-3, Software Revenue Recognition, (“Issue 09-3”) which will amend ASC 985-605 (formerly EITF Issue 03-5, Applicability of AICPA Statement of Position 97-2 to Certain Arrangements That Contain Software Elements). Issue 09-3 excludes from the scope of Issue 09-3 all tangible products containing both software and non-software components that function together to deliver the product’s essential functionality. As such, the entire product would be outside the scope of ASC 985-605 and would be accounted for under other accounting literature (e.g., ASC 605-25 (as amended by Issue 08-1)). The final consensus is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010. Entities can elect to apply Issue 09-3 prospectively to new or materially modified arrangements after the effective date or retrospectively for all periods presented. Issue 09-3 was issued as ASU 2009-14 in October 2009. The Company does not anticipate that ASU 2009-14 will have any impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
     In August 2009, the FASB issued ASU 2009-05 to provide guidance on measuring fair value of liabilities under ASC 820 (formerly FSP FAS 157-f). The guidance clarifies how entities should estimate the fair value of liabilities. ASC 820, as amended, includes clarifying guidance for circumstances in which a quoted price in an active market is not available, the effect of the existence of liability transfer restrictions, and the effect of quoted prices for the identical liability, including when the identical liability is traded as an asset. ASU 2009-05 is effective for the first interim or annual reporting period beginning after August 29, 2008. The Company adopted this guidance during the second quarter of fiscal year 2010. The adoption of the amended guidance in ASC 820 did not have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.
     In April 2009, the FASB issued authoritative guidance for fair value measurements and disclosures. The guidance provides companies with guidelines on how to determine fair value measurements when the volume and level of activity for an asset or liability have significantly decreased and how to identify transactions that are not orderly. This guidance is effective for interim reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009. We adopted this guidance during the first quarter of fiscal year 2010, which did not have any impact on its consolidated financial statements.
     In April 2009, the FASB issued authoritative guidance for interim disclosures for financial instruments. This guidance amends prior authoritative guidance by requiring disclosures of the fair value of financial instruments included within the scope of the prior guidance whenever a public company issues summarized financial information for interim reporting periods. This guidance is effective for interim reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009, with early adoption permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009 under certain circumstances. The Company adopted this guidance for the quarter ended September 25, 2009, but it did not have an impact on its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. The carrying amounts of Versar’s cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and amounts included in notes receivable, other current assets and current liabilities that meet the definition of a financial instrument approximate fair value because of the short-term nature of these amounts.
     Effective June 27, 2009, the Company adopted new accounting guidance related to the reporting of subsequent events. This guidance establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. In particular, this guidance sets forth the period after the balance sheet date during which management of a reporting entity should evaluate events or transactions that may occur for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements; the circumstances under which an entity should recognize events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet date in its financial statements; and the disclosures that an entity should make about events or transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date. The Company evaluated events occurring subsequent to the balance sheet date through February 8, 2010, the date these financial statements were issued. Details on subsequent events are included in Note N of the financial statements.
     In December 2007, the FASB issued ASC 805, Business Combinations (formerly SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), Business Combinations). ASC 805 establishes principles and requirements for how companies recognize and measure identifiable assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and any non-controlling interest in connection with a business combination, recognize and measure the goodwill acquired in a business combination or a gain from a bargain purchase, and determine what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. ASC 805 is effective for business combinations completed on or after June 27, 2009. The adoption of ASC 805 did not affect the Company’s financial position or its results of operations during the first six months of 2010.

(K) Fair Value Measures
Financial assets and liabilities
     We analyze our financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value and categorize them within the fair value hierarchy based on the level of judgment associated with the inputs used to measure their fair value in accordance with the authoritative guidance for fair value instruments and the fair value option for financial assets and financial liabilities.
     The levels as defined by the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
Level 1 — Inputs are unadjusted, quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date.
Level 2 — Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly at the measurement date.
Level 3 — Inputs are unobservable for the asset or liability and usually reflect the reporting entity’s best estimate of what market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date.
Non financial assets and liabilities
     The Company applies fair value techniques on a non-recurring basis associated with (1) valuing potential impairment losses related to goodwill which are accounted for pursuant to the authoritative guidance for intangibles — goodwill and other, (2) valuing potential impairment losses related to long-lived assets which are accounted for pursuant to the authoritative guidance for property, plant and equipment, and (3) valuing an asset retirement liability initially measured at fair value under the authoritative guidance for asset retirement obligations.
     The Company currently has four separate reporting units. Goodwill impairment is tested at the reporting unit level. All of the goodwill is associated with the Program Management business segment, and the Company determines the fair value of this reporting unit based on a combination of inputs including the market capitalization of the Company as well as Level 3 inputs such as discounted cash flows which are not observable from the market, directly or indirectly. The Company conducts the goodwill impairment analysis annually during the fourth quarter of the fiscal year, or upon the occurrence of certain triggering events. No such triggering events occurred during the six months ended December 25, 2009. Historically, the fair value of the Program Management segment has significantly exceeded its carrying value.
     The Company tests for the impairment of long-lived assets when triggering events occur and such impairment, if any, is measured at fair value. The inputs for fair value of the long lived assets would be based on Level 3 inputs as data used for such fair value calculations would be based on discounted cash flows which are not observable from the market, directly or indirectly. During the six months ended December 25, 2009, there have been no triggering events associated with long lived assets and thus no impairment analysis was conducted during the period.

VERSAR, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
     The Company recorded an asset retirement liability for the clean up of its chemical laboratory facility of $610,000 at fair value per the authoritative guidance for asset retirement obligations. The inputs for fair value of the asset retirement obligation were based on Level 3 inputs as data used for such fair value calculations are based on discounted cash flows which are not observable from the market, directly or indirectly.
(L) Other Current Liabilities
     Other current liabilities include the asset retirement obligation described above, accrued 401k benefits, accrued tax withholdings, lease liabilities, and miscellaneous accruals.
(M) Business Segments
     The Company evaluates and measures the performance of its business segments based on gross revenue, gross profit and operating income. As such, selling, general and administrative expenses, interest and income taxes have not been allocated to the Company’s business segments.
     The Company’s business is currently operated through four business segments as follows: Program Management, Compliance and Environmental Programs, Professional Services, and National Security.
     These segments were segregated based on the nature of the work, business processes, customer base and the business environment in which each of the segments operates.
     The Program Management business segment manages larger more complex projects with business processes and management unique to the rest of the Company. The Compliance and Environmental Programs business segment provides regulatory and environmental consulting support to several federal government and municipal agencies. The Professional Services business segment provides outsourced personnel to various government agencies providing our clients with cost-effective resources. The National Security business segment provides unique solutions to the federal government including testing and evaluation and personal protective solutions.

(N) Subsequent Events
     Acquisition of PPS: On January 5, 2010, the Company acquired all of the outstanding share capital of Professional Protection Systems, Ltd. (“PPS”), located in Milton Keynes, United Kingdom. PPS manufactures and sells proprietary personal protective equipment to the nuclear industry, including protective suites, decontamination showers and emergency shelters. The outstanding share capital of PPS was acquired by Versar’s newly formed subsidiary, GEOI 1, Ltd. The Company paid a purchase price for the outstanding share capital of PPS comprised of: (i) cash of $5.1 million, (ii) issuance to the selling shareholders of seller notes with an aggregate principal amount of $940,000, payable over two years with an interest rate of 5% per annum, and (iii) issuance to one selling shareholder of 78,689 shares of common stock of Versar with a value as of the date of closing of $240,000. Certain of the selling shareholders are also entitled to contingent consideration through an earn-out provision calculated based on earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation or amortization of PPS for the 12-month period ending January 1, 2011. The purchase price is subject to certain post-closing adjustments based on certain target balance sheet items of PPS as of December 31, 2009.
     The following table summarized the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of the acquisition. The purchase price allocation herein is based on management’s preliminary assessment of the fair value of both the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed. The Company is in the process of finalizing the valuation of certain intangible assets, thus, the allocation of the purchase price is subject to further adjustment.

The valuation of these intangibles is not completed and these are preliminary estimates of the fair value of the intangible assets acquired.
     Third Quarter Fiscal Year 2010 Restructuring Charge: Due to the reduced business volume in Iraq, the continued delay of federal funding and severe budget shortfalls in our municipal markets across the country, the Company has experienced poor operating results in the first half of fiscal year 2010. As a result, the Company has taken significant steps to restructure its business and reduce the Company’s overall cost structure basis to balance its costs with the current and

13


 

VERSAR, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
anticipated business volume. It is anticipated that the cost reduction plan will reduce the Company’s overall cost structure by over $3.3 million on an annualized basis. The Company will record a one-time charge of approximately $650,000 in the third quarter of fiscal year 2010 primarily for personnel severance costs and the cost of select office closures.

ITEM 2 Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
     This report contains certain forward-looking statements which are based on current expectations. Actual results may differ materially. The forward-looking statements include, without limitation, those regarding the continued award of future work or task orders from government and private clients, cost controls and reductions, the expected resolution of delays in billing of certain projects, and the possible impact of current and future claims against the Company based upon negligence and other theories of liability. Forward-looking statements involve numerous risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially, including, but not limited to, the possibility that the demand for the Company’s services may decline as a result of possible changes in general and industry specific economic conditions and the effects of competitive services and pricing; the possibility that the Company will not be able to perform work within budget or contractual limitations; one or more current or future claims made against the Company may result in substantial liabilities; the possibility that the Company will not be able to attract and retain key professional employees; changes to or failure of the Federal government to fund certain programs in which the Company participates; delays in project funding; and such other risks and uncertainties, described in our Form 10-K for fiscal year ended June 26, 2009 and in other reports and other documents filed by the Company from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Financial Trends
     During fiscal year 2009, continued government emphasis on funding of a number of international programs within the company’s core business, resulted in increases in gross revenues and gross profit in all of Versar’s business segments, except for the Company’s Compliance and Environmental business segment, which has been most significantly impacted by the declining U.S. economy. However, in the first half of fiscal year 2010, a number of the Company’s business segments experienced a decline in revenue and gross profit as a result of shifts in government spending and the continued impact of the weak economy on funding of projects in certain of the Company’s business segments. The negative impact of these funding shifts and continued delays in project funding accelerated during the second quarter of fiscal year 2010. Further, since fiscal year 2008, the Company has experienced a significant decline in work for the Air Force in Iraq. During fiscal year 2008, approximately 53% of the Company’s business volume related to reconstruction efforts in Iraq. The volume of this work began to decline during fiscal year 2009 and this decline accelerated during the first half of fiscal year 2010. As a result, this work comprised 51% and 30%, respectively, of the Company’s business volume in fiscal year 2009 and the first half of fiscal year 2010, respectively. The Company expects that the reconstruction efforts in Iraq will be significantly reduced during the remainder of fiscal year 2010 because of the reduced Air Force role in reconstruction work in Iraq. We currently anticipate a decrease in revenues related to work in Iraq during fiscal year 2010 of approximately $25 million compared to the Company’s revenues from Iraq in fiscal year 2009. To offset, in part, the loss of work in Iraq, the Company continues to follow funding shifts to Afghanistan attempting to maintain and expand its business there, which will help offset but not completely replace the expected reduction in revenues from Iraq.
     The Company experienced poor operating performance in the Compliance and Environmental business segment during the second quarter of fiscal year 2010 due to reduced municipal spending and delayed project work. Management expects to continue to face challenges in the Compliance and Environmental business segment for the rest of fiscal year 2010 as municipalities continue to face funding shortfalls due to current economic conditions. Therefore, the Company continues to take steps to further diversify its business to replace reduced or eliminated opportunities in Iraq and reduced municipality work in this business segment. The Company is focusing on U.S. based Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) efforts, funding for which had been delayed as a result of the war in Iraq, as well as the expanded U.S. efforts in Afghanistan. Funding for BRAC work began to increase in fiscal year 2009 and we expect that funding of BRAC work worldwide will continue to increase during the remainder of fiscal year 2010. Versar is also focused on new initiatives in the rural broadband market, in the U.S., green energy development projects and programs providing engineering, design and construction support, and on further expanding our professional services, UXO capabilities, energy conservation and national security efforts to address cost constraints while effectively providing business solutions to meet our clients changing needs.
     Further, after the end of the second quarter, the Company implemented a cost reduction plan that is anticipated to reduce the company’s overall cost structure by over $3.3 million on an annualized basis. The cost reduction plan was designed to balance the Company’s costs with current and anticipated business volume.

     Gross revenue for the second quarter of fiscal year 2010 was $24,387,000, a decrease of $3,580,000 (13%) from the second quarter of fiscal year 2009. Gross revenue in the Program Management business segment for the second quarter of fiscal year 2010 was $15,462,000, a decrease of $1,911,000 (11%) from that reported in the second quarter of fiscal year 2009. The decrease is due to reduced work in support of Iraq reconstruction efforts offset, in part, by $4,013,000 increase in construction and engineering work in the United States. Gross revenue in the Compliance and Environmental Programs business segment for the second quarter was $3,407,000, a decrease of $2,004,000 (37%) from the second quarter of fiscal year 2009. The decrease is due to budget shortfalls of state and municipal agencies resulting in a delay and deferral of projects and resulting decline in revenue in the Compliance and Environmental Programs business segments. Gross revenue in the Professional Services business segment for the second quarter of fiscal year 2010 was $3,130,000, an increase of $346,000 (12%) from the second quarter of fiscal year 2009. The increase is attributable to continuing work on larger professional services outsourcing awards received during fiscal year 2009. Gross revenue for the National Security business segment for the second quarter of fiscal year 2010 was $2,388,000, a decrease of $11,000 from the second quarter of fiscal year 2009. This slight decrease is attributable to delays in personal protective suit sales orders and laboratory sales as a result of the delayed authorization of the Defense department’s appropriation until late in December 2009.

ITEM 2 Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)
     Purchased services and materials decreased by $2,301,000 (15%) in the second quarter of fiscal year 2010 compared to the second quarter of fiscal year 2009. The decrease is attributable to lower subcontractor costs as a result of decreased business volume in the Program Management and National Security business segments as mentioned above.
     Direct costs of services and overhead include the cost to Versar of direct and overhead staff, including recoverable and unallowable costs that are directly attributable to contracts. Direct costs of services and overhead increased by $198,000 (2%) in the second quarter of fiscal year 2010 compared to the second quarter of 2009. The increase is primarily due to additional costs required to support business growth initiatives in the Program Management business segment relating to the United States based telecommunications and construction activity.
     Gross profit for the second quarter of fiscal year 2010 was $1,728,000, a decrease of $1,477,000 (46%) from the second quarter of fiscal year 2009. The decrease is primarily due to reduced revenue and profit margins in the Program Management, Compliance and Environmental Programs and National Security segments, as shown in the table below.

     Gross profit margin for the Program Management business segment for the second quarter of fiscal year 2010 was 8.5% compared to 12.1% for the same period of last fiscal year. The decrease was due to declining revenues in our Iraq work. The Compliance and Environmental Programs business segment suffered an operating loss during the second quarter of fiscal year 2010. This segment’s revenue was significantly impacted by the economic downturn of the domestic market resulting in labor utilization that was lower than anticipated. Gross profit margin for the Professional Services business segment improved to 15.5% for the second quarter of fiscal year 2010, compared to 13.9% for the second quarter of the prior fiscal year. Margins in the Professional Services business segment improved with the increase in gross revenues and less incremental costs. Gross profit margin for the National Security business segment in the second quarter of fiscal year 2010 was only 1.8% compared to 14.6% for the second quarter of the last fiscal year. This substantial decrease was attributable to the delay in personal protective suit sales and reduced chemical laboratory work. Approximately, $200,000 of the gross profit shortfall is attributable to the delayed suit orders and the balance with the reduced laboratory work.
     Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $40,000 (2%) during the second quarter of fiscal year 2010 compared to the second quarter of fiscal year 2009. The increase is primarily due to increased business development activities related to efforts to further diversify our business base.
     Operating loss for the second quarter of fiscal year 2010 was $510,000, compared to operating income of $1,007,000 in the second quarter of fiscal year 2009. The decrease in operating income is attributable to lower gross revenue and gross profit as mentioned above.
     Interest income for the second quarter of fiscal year 2010 was $33,000 due to the accrued interest on the debt financing provided to General Power Green Energy and Lemko Corporation as discussed in footnote F. Interest expense for the second quarter of fiscal year 2010 was $9,000. The interest expense is attributable to the cost of financing the Company’s various insurance policies.
     Income tax benefit for the second quarter of fiscal year 2010 was $186,000 compared to income tax expense of $375,000 in the second quarter of fiscal year 2009. The income tax benefit for the second quarter of fiscal year 2010 was the result of the loss incurred. The effective tax rates for the second quarter of fiscal years 2010 and 2009 were 38% and 40%, respectively.

     Gross revenue for the first six months of fiscal year 2010 was $49,101,000, a decrease of $3,864,000 (7%) from the first six months of fiscal year 2009. Gross revenue in the Program Management business segment for the first six months of fiscal year 2010 was $31,865,000, a decrease of $1,357,000 (4%) from the first six months of fiscal year 2009. The decrease is due to decreased international work in support of the United States reconstruction efforts in Iraq offset in part by an increase in domestic construction management and engineering work. Gross revenue in the Compliance and Environmental Programs business segment for the first six months was $6,932,000, a decrease of $3,040,000 (30%) from the first six months of fiscal year 2009. The decrease is due to the weak environmental markets in the mid-west and west coast regions that negatively impacted our contract awards and gross revenue. Gross revenue in the Professional Services business segment for the first six months of fiscal year 2010 was $5,868,000, an increase of $906,000 (18%) from the first six months of fiscal year 2009. The increase is attributable to continuing work on larger professional services outsourcing awards that were received in the prior fiscal year. Gross revenue for the National Security business segment for the first six months of fiscal year 2010 was $4,436,000, a decrease of $373,000 (8%) from the first six months of fiscal year 2009. The decrease is attributable to lower chemical laboratory work and delays in personal protective suit sales.
     Purchased services and materials decreased by $3,080,000 (11%) in the first six months of fiscal year 2010 compared to the first six months of fiscal year 2009. The decrease is attributable to the decrease in the Program Management business segment and in personal protective suit sales in the National Security business segment as mentioned above.
     Direct costs of services and overhead include the cost to Versar of direct and overhead staff, including recoverable and unallowable costs that are directly attributable to contracts. Direct costs of services and overhead increased by $1,518,000 (9%) in the first six months of fiscal year 2010 compared to the first six months of fiscal year 2009. The increase is primarily due to additional costs required to support business growth efforts in the Program Management and Professional Services business segments.

     Gross profit for the first six months of fiscal year 2010 was $4,081,000, a decrease of $2,302,000 (36%) from the first six months of fiscal year 2009. The decrease is primarily attributable to reduced gross revenues and gross profit in the Program Management business segment, Compliance and Environmental Programs business segment and National Security business segments as shown in the table below.

     Gross profit margin for the Program Management business segment for the first six months of fiscal year 2010 was 10% compared to 13.2% for the first six months of fiscal year 2009. The decrease is attributable to the lower profitability in our reduced Iraq work and the lower gross revenue. The Compliance and Environmental Programs business segment suffered a loss of $160,000 for the first six months of fiscal year 2010 compared to the gross profit in the first six months of fiscal year 2009. The loss is due to the reduced gross revenues as mentioned above resulting from poor economic conditions and the lack of contract awards in the mid-west and west coast regions. Gross profit in the Professional Services business segment for the first six months of fiscal year 2010 was 15.8% compared to 16.3% for the first six months of fiscal year 2009. Gross profit margin in the National Security business segment for the first six months of fiscal year 2010 was 3% compared to 11.8% for the first six months of fiscal year 2009. The decrease is directly attributable to the reduced chemical laboratory work and personal protective suit sales. Approximately $300,000 of the shortfall was from anticipated margins from expected suit sales and the balance from the chemical laboratory shortfalls.
     Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by $21,000 during the first six months of fiscal year 2010 compared to that reported in the first six months of fiscal year 2009.
     Operating loss for the first six months of fiscal year 2010 was $132,000, compared to the operating income of $2,149,000 in the first six months of fiscal year 2009. The poor performance is primarily attributable to the decreased gross revenue and gross profit as mentioned above.
     During the first quarter of fiscal year 2009, the Company recorded a $346,000 loss on marketable securities the Company was holding in the FISCO Income Plus Funds. The FISCO fund received an immediate demand margin call from its broker, UBS. Rather than allow the fund the customary time to satisfy the margin call at the end of the day, UBS demanded the fund cover all calls and puts at high premiums immediately or indicated it would take control of the fund and start liquidating the fund itself. The fund has terminated its relationship with UBS and transferred the assets to a new custodian. The fund has indicated it will seek legal action against UBS to cover its losses. The Company will participate in any recovery from any such action.
     Interest income for the first six months of fiscal year 2010 was $65,000 due to the accrued interest on debt financing provided to General Power Green Energy and Lemko Corporation as discussed in footnote F. Interest expense for the first six months of fiscal year 2010 was $22,000. The interest expense is attributable to the cost of financing the Company’s various insurance policies.

ITEM 2 Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)
     Income tax benefit for the first six months of fiscal year 2010 was $26,000 compared to income tax expense of $695,000 in the first six months of fiscal year 2009. The tax benefit recorded in fiscal year 2010 was due to loss incurred in the first six months of fiscal year 2010. The effective tax rates for the first six months of fiscal years 2010 and 2009 were 29% and 39%, respectively.
     Versar’s net loss for the second quarter of fiscal year 2010 was $63,000 compared to net income of $1,089,000 in the second quarter of fiscal year 2009. The unfavorable result is primarily attributable to the poor operating performance in the Program Management, Compliance and Environmental and National Security business segments during the first six months of fiscal year 2010.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
     The Company’s working capital as of December 25, 2009 was approximately $24,880,000, a decrease of $633,000 from the working capital of $25,513,000 at June 26, 2009. The decrease in working capital was due to the classification as current of a former long-term obligation that is now due within the next twelve months period. The Company’s current ratio at December 25, 2009 was 3.27, compared to 3.04 reported on June 26, 2009. The Company’s financial ratios have continued to improve during the first six months of fiscal year 2010. Accounts receivable decreased by approximately $4 million primarily due to improved cash flow due to the decreased working capital requirements as a result of the reduced business volume during the first half of fiscal year 2010.
     The Company has a line of credit facility with United Bank (the Bank) that provides for advances up to $7.5 million based upon qualifying receivables. The line of credit is subject to certain covenants related to the maintenance of financial ratios. These covenants require a minimum tangible net worth of $22.5 million; a maximum total liabilities to tangible net worth ratio not exceed 2.5 to 1; and a minimum current ratio of at least 1.25 to 1. Interest accrues on borrowings under the line of credit at the prime rate of interest less 1/2% with a floor interest rate of 3.5%. Failure to meet the covenant requirements gives the Bank the right to demand outstanding amounts due under the line of credit, which may impact the Company’s ability to finance its working capital requirements. As of December 25, 2009, the Company had no outstanding borrowings and was in compliance with the financial covenants. The Company has a letter of credit of approximately $455,147 outstanding under the line of credit facility which serves as collateral for surety bond coverage provided by the Company’s insurance carrier against project construction work. The letter of credit reduces the Company’s availability on the line of credit. Availability under the line of credit at December 25, 2009 was approximately $7 million. Obligations under the credit facility are guaranteed by Versar and each subsidiary individually and are secured by accounts receivable, equipment and intangibles, plus all insurance policies on property constituting collateral of Versar and its subsidiaries. The line of credit matures in September 30, 2010.
     The Company believes that its current cash balance of over $8.5 million along with anticipated cash flows from operations and availability under its line of credit will be sufficient to meet the Company’s liquidity needs for the remainder of the fiscal year. Expected capital requirements for fiscal year 2010 are approximately $1,000,000, primarily for upgrades to maintain the Company’s existing information technology systems. Such capital requirements and other funding needs will be funded through existing working capital and the line of credit.
Critical Accounting Policies and Related Estimates That Have a Material Effect on Versar’s Consolidated Financial Statements
     Below is a discussion of the accounting policies and related estimates that we believe are the most critical to understanding the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations which require management judgments and estimates, or involve uncertainties. Information regarding our other accounting policies is included in the notes to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report on Form 10-Q and in our annual report on Form 10-K filed for fiscal year 2009.
     Revenue recognition: Contracts in process are stated at the lower of actual costs incurred plus accrued profits or incurred costs reduced by progress billings. On cost-plus fee contracts, revenue is recognized to the extent of costs incurred plus a proportionate amount of fee earned, and on time-and-material contracts, revenue is recognized to the extent of billable rates times hours delivered plus material and other reimbursable costs incurred. The Company records income from major fixed-price contracts, extending over more than one accounting period, using the percentage-of-completion

20


 

ITEM 2 Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)
method. During the performance of such contracts, estimated final contract prices and costs are periodically reviewed and revisions are made as required. Fixed price contracts can be significantly impacted by changes in contract performance, contract delays, liquidated damages and penalty provisions, and contract change orders, which may affect the revenue recognition on a project. Revisions to such estimates are made when they become known. Detailed quarterly project reviews are conducted with project managers to review all project progress accruals and revenue recognition.
     There is the possibility that there will be future and currently unforeseeable adjustments to our estimated contract revenues, costs and margins for fixed price contracts, particularly in the later stages of these contracts. Such adjustments are common in the construction industry given the nature of the contracts. These adjustments could either positively or negatively impact our estimates due to the circumstances surrounding the negotiations of change orders, the impact of schedule slippage, subcontractor claims and contract disputes which are normally resolved at the end of the contract.
     Allowance for doubtful accounts: Disputes arise in the normal course of the Company’s business on projects where the Company is contesting with customers for collection of funds because of events such as delays, changes in contract specifications and questions of cost allowability and collectibility. Such disputes, whether claims or unapproved change orders in process of negotiation, are recorded at the lesser of their estimated net realizable value or actual costs incurred and only when realization is probable and can be reliably estimated.
     Management reviews outstanding receivables on a quarterly basis and assesses the need for reserves, taking into consideration past collection history and other events that bear on the collectibility of such receivables. All receivables over 60 days old are reviewed as part of this process.
     Asset retirement obligation: The Company recorded an asset retirement obligation associated with the estimated clean-up costs for its chemical laboratory in its National Security business segment. In accordance with ASC-410-20-05 (formerly SFAS 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligation), the Company estimated the costs to clean up the laboratory and return it to its original state at a present value of approximately $497,000. The Company currently estimates the amortization and accreation expense to be approximately $190,000 to $200,000 per year over the next year. The current liability as of December 25, 2009 was $610,000. The Company is rigorously pursuing reimbursement for such costs and other costs from the U.S. Army as a significant portion of the chemical agent that was used in the chemical laboratory was government owned. If the Company determines that the estimated clean up cost is larger than expected or the likelihood of recovery from the U.S. Army is remote, such adjustments will be reflected when they become known.
     Goodwill and other intangible assets: The carrying value of goodwill is approximately $776,000 relating to the acquisition of Versar Global Solutions, Inc., which is now part of the Program Management business segment. In performing its goodwill impairment analysis, management has utilized a market-based valuation approach to determine the estimated fair value of the Program Management business segment. Management engages outside professionals and valuation experts annually, as necessary, to assist in performing this analysis and will test more often if events and circumstances warranted it. Should the Program Management business segment’s financial performance not meet estimates, then impairment of goodwill would have to be further assessed to determine whether a write down of goodwill value would be warranted. If such a write down were to occur, it would negatively impact the Company’s financial position and results of operations. As disclosed in the Subsequent Events note to the financial statements included in this report, following the end of the second quarter of fiscal year 2010, the Company completed the PPS acquisition, using approximately $5.1 million of its existing working capital in payment of the purchase price. The Company is currently in the process of negotiating a second acquisition, which if terms are resolved to the Company’s satisfaction, is likely to close shortly after filing of this report. If the Company is able to complete this additional acquisition, it will require cash of approximately $2.1 million at closing. There can be no assurance that the company will be successful in negotiating this additional acquisition and that it will close on a timely basis, or at all.
     Share-based compensation: The Company records stock based compensation in accordance with the fair value provisions of ASC 718-10-1 (formerly SFAS No. 123R, “Share-Based Payment”). This statement requires companies to recognize the cost of employee services received in exchange for awards of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of those awards (the “fair-value-based” method).

21


 

ITEM 2 Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)
     There was no share-based compensation expense recorded related to stock options during the first half of fiscal years 2009 and 2010 as all previously granted stock options were fully vested except 10,000 shares of non-qualified stock options. These options will vest based on the achievement of certain stated conditions, and the Company will record the related expense at that time.
     The Company awarded 125,000 shares of restricted stock to directors and employees in fiscal year 2009. During the first half of fiscal year 2010, the Company awarded 67,000 shares of restricted stock to key employees in recognition of their outstanding performance in the prior year, and recorded compensation expense of $206,000 for the first six months of fiscal year 2010.
     New accounting pronouncements: In June 2009, the FASB issued the FASB Accounting Standards Codification TM and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“Codification”). The Codification is now the source for authoritative United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities. The Codification is effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. The Codification has superseded all then-existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards. References to legacy GAAP in this report have been replaced by references to the Codification, where appropriate.
     In August 2009, the FASB amended guidance in FASB Accounting Standards CodificationTM (ASC) 820, FairValue Measurements and Disclosures, to clarify how entities should estimate the fair value of liabilities. The amendments provide clarification that in circumstances in which a quoted price in an active market for the identical liability is not available, a reporting entity is required to measure fair value using one or more of the following valuation techniques: (1) a valuation technique that uses (a) the quoted price of the identical liability when traded as an asset or (b) quoted prices for similar liabilities or similar liabilities when traded as assets and/ or (2) another valuation technique that is consistent with fair value principles such as an income or market approach. The amendments also clarify that when estimating the fair value of a liability, a reporting entity is not required to consider the existence of transfer restrictions on that liability. The Company adopted the amended guidance effective October 1, 2009. The adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition and results of operations.
     In September 2009, the FASB ratified the final consensus on Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Issue 08-1, Revenue Arrangements With multiple Deliverables, (“Issue 08-1”) which will supersede ASC 605-25 (formerly EITF Issue 00-21, Revenue Arrangements With Multiple Deliverables). Issue 08-1 addresses how arrangement consideration should be allocated to separate units of accounting, when applicable. Although Issue 08-1 retains the criteria from ASC 605-25 for when delivered items in a multiple deliverable arrangement should be considered separate units of accounting, it removes the previous separation criterion under ASC 605-25 that objective and reliable evidence of the fair value of any undelivered items must exist for the delivered items to be considered a separate unit or separate units of accounting. The final consensus is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010. Entities can elect to apply Issue 08-1 prospectively to new or materially modified arrangements after the effective date or retrospectively for all periods presented. Issue 08-1 was issued as Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2009-13 in October 2009 and amended ASC 605-25. The Company does not anticipate that ASU 2009-13 will have any impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
     In September 2009, the FASB ratified the final consensus on EITF Issue 09-3, Software Revenue Recognition, (“Issue 09-3”) which will amend ASC 985-605 (formerly EITF Issue 03-5, Applicability of AICPA Statement of Position 97-2 to Certain Arrangements That Contain Software Elements). Issue 09-3 excludes from the scope of Issue 09-3 all tangible products containing both software and non-software components that function together to deliver the product’s essential functionality. As such, the entire product would be outside the scope of ASC 985-605 and would be accounted for under other accounting literature (e.g., ASC 605-25 (as amended by Issue 08-1)). The final consensus is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010. Entities can elect to apply Issue 09-3 prospectively to new or materially modified arrangements after the effective date or retrospectively for all periods presented. Issue 09-3 was issued as ASU 2009-14 in October 2009. The Company does not anticipate that ASU 2009-14 will have any impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

22


 

ITEM 2 Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)
     In August 2009, the FASB issued ASU 2009-05 to provide guidance on measuring fair value of liabilities under ASC 820 (formerly FSP FAS 157-f). The guidance clarifies how entities should estimate the fair value of liabilities. ASC 820, as amended, includes clarifying guidance for circumstances in which a quoted price in an active market is not available, the effect of the existence of liability transfer restrictions, and the effect of quoted prices for the identical liability, including when the identical liability is traded as an asset. ASU 2009-05 is effective for the first interim or annual reporting period beginning after August 29, 2008. The Company adopted this guidance during the second quarter of fiscal year 2010, the adoption of the amended guidance in ASC 820 did not have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.
     In April 2009, the FASB issued authoritative guidance for fair value measurements and disclosures. The guidance provides companies with guidelines on how to determine fair value measurements when the volume and level of activity for an asset or liability have significantly decreased and how to identify transactions that are not orderly. This guidance is effective for interim reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009. The Company adopted this guidance during the first quarter of fiscal year 2010, which did not have any impact on its consolidated financial statements.
     In April 2009, the FASB issued authoritative guidance for interim disclosures for financial instruments. This guidance amends prior authoritative guidance by requiring disclosures of the fair value of financial instruments included within the scope of the prior guidance whenever a public company issues summarized financial information for interim reporting periods. This guidance is effective for interim reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009, with early adoption permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009 under certain circumstances. The Company adopted this guidance for the quarter ended September 25, 2009, but it did not have an impact on its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. The carrying amounts of Versar’s cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and amounts included in other current assets and current liabilities that meet the definition of a financial instrument approximate fair value because of the short-term nature of these amounts.
     Effective June 27, 2009, the Company adopted new accounting guidance related to the reporting of subsequent events. This guidance establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. In particular, this guidance sets forth the period after the balance sheet date during which management of a reporting entity should evaluate events or transactions that may occur for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements; the circumstances under which an entity should recognize events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet date in its financial statements; and the disclosures that an entity should make about events or transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date. The Company evaluated events occurring subsequent to the balance sheet date through February 8, 2010 for purposes of this report. See footnote N regarding disclosure of subsequent events.
     In December 2007, the FASB issued ASC 805, Business Combinations (formerly SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), Business Combinations). ASC 805 establishes principles and requirements for how companies recognize and measure identifiable assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and any non-controlling interest in connection with a business combination, recognize and measure the goodwill acquired in a business combination or a gain from a bargain purchase, and determine what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. ASC 805 is effective for business combinations completed on or after June 27, 2009. The adoption of ASC 805 did not affect the Company’s financial position or its results of operations during the first six months of 2010.
Impact of Inflation
     Versar seeks to protect itself from the effects of inflation. The majority of contracts the Company performs are for a period of a year or less or are cost-plus-fixed-fee type contracts and, accordingly, are less susceptible to the effects of inflation. Multi-year contracts include provisions for projected increases in labor and other costs.
Contingencies
     Versar and its subsidiaries are parties to various legal actions arising in the normal course of business. The Company believes that the ultimate resolution of these legal actions will not have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial position and results of operations. (See Part II, Item 1 — Legal Proceedings).
Business Segments
     Versar currently has four business segments: Program Management, Compliance and Environmental Programs, Professional Services, and National Security.

Item 3 — Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
     The Company has not entered into any transactions using derivative financial instruments or derivative commodity instruments and believes that its exposure to interest rate risk and other relevant market risk is not material.
Item 4 — Controls and Procedures
     As of the last day of the period covered by this report, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-15. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective, as of such date, to ensure that required information will be disclosed on a timely basis in its reports under the Exchange Act.
     Further, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures have been designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed by us under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, in a manner to allow timely decisions regarding the required disclosure.
     There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the last quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
PART II — OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1 — Legal Proceedings
     Versar and its subsidiaries are parties from time to time to various legal actions arising in the normal course of business. The Company believes that any ultimate unfavorable resolution of these legal actions will not have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial condition and results of operations.
Item 1A — Risk Factors
     The risk factors discussed in Part 1, “Item 1A. Risk Factors,” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 26, 2009, should be considered in conjunction with the other information set forth in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q.
     We recently completed the acquisition of PPS and are currently negotiating the acquisition of a second company. We intend to use reasonable efforts to identify other acquisition opportunities that would be of benefit to our Company and our stockholders. Such combinations will be accompanied by risks commonly encountered in acquisitions, such as risks related to the successful integration of the acquired business with existing businesses, the ability to realize any cost savings or synergies expected from the combination and the discovery post-closing of costs and liabilities not adequately covered by indemnification or other rights against the sellers. Failure to manage and successfully integrate acquisitions we make could have a material adverse effect on our business, our ability to pursue our strategy and our operating results.
