PART I
Forward- Looking Statements
Certain statements in this Annual Report on Form 10-K constitute forward-looking statements
within the meaning of the Federal Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. While
forward-looking statements sometimes are presented with numerical specificity, they are based on
various assumptions made by management regarding future events over which we have little or no
control. Forward-looking statements may be identified by words including anticipate, believe,
estimate, expect and similar expressions. We caution readers that forward-looking statements,
including without limitation, those relating to future business prospects, revenues, working
capital, liquidity, and income, are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that would cause
actual results to differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements.
Factors that could cause actual results to differ from forward-looking statements include the
concentration of our revenues, risks involved in contracting with our customers, including the
difficulty to accurately estimate costs when bidding on a contract and the occurrence of start-up
costs prior to receiving revenues and contracts with fixed price provisions, potential conflicts of
interest, difficulties we may have in attracting and retaining management, professional and
administrative staff, fluctuation in quarterly results, our ability to generate new business, our
ability to maintain an effective system of internal controls, risks related to acquisitions and our
acquisition strategy, continued favorable banking relationships, the availability of capital to
finance operations and planned growth and ability to make payments on outstanding indebtedness,
weakened economic conditions, reduced end-user purchases relative to expectations, pricing
pressures, excess and obsolete inventory, acts of terrorism, energy prices, risks related to
competition and our ability to continue to perform efficiently on contracts, and other risks and
factors identified from time to time in the reports we file with the SEC. Should one or more of
these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual
results may vary materially from those anticipated, estimated or projected.
Forward-looking statements are intended to apply only at the time they are made. Moreover, whether
or not stated in connection with a forward-looking statement, we undertake no obligation to correct
or update a forward-looking statement should we later become aware that it is not likely to be
achieved. If we were to update or correct a forward-looking statement, investors and others should
not conclude that we will make additional updates or corrections thereafter.
All references to we, our, us, the Company, or Halifax refer, on a consolidated basis to
Halifax Corporation unless otherwise indicated.
Item 1. Business
Our Business
Halifax Corporation, headquartered in Alexandria, Virginia, provides a comprehensive range of
enterprise maintenance services and solutions to a broad base of clients throughout the United
States. We provide 7x24x365 technology solutions that can meet stringent enterprise service
requirements. We are a nation-wide, high-availability, multi-vendor enterprise maintenance services
and solutions provider for enterprises, including businesses, global service providers,
governmental agencies and other organizations. For more than 37 years, we have been known for
quality and reliability in service delivery to our customers.
We were incorporated in 1967 under the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia. We maintain our
principal executive offices at Halifax Office Park, 5250 Cherokee Avenue, Alexandria, Virginia
22312. Our telephone number is (703) 658-2400, and our website is www.hxcorp.com. We make

practical after we file such material with or furnish it to the SECs website. The information on

textual reference.
1
Our strategy is to build our position as an innovative leader in the high availability enterprise
maintenance solutions marketplace. We currently have the following key business focuses:
|
|
High Availability Maintenance Services- 7 days a week, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year,
multi-vendor support for nationwide customers with demanding service level requirements |
|
|
|
Technology Deployment and Integration Services- nationwide deployment and integration
support services. |
On June 30, 2005, we sold our secure networks services business to enable us to focus our resources
on our core business of high availability enterprise maintenance services and technology deployment
and integration services.
High Availability Maintenance Services
We provide our clients with a comprehensive high availability enterprise maintenance solution
through a single point of contact. Our service offerings include high availability enterprise
maintenance services customized to specific customer needs for 7 days per week, 24 hours per day,
365 days per year (7x24x365) support on a nationwide basis, life cycle management of client desktop
environment and equipment, moves and changes, and providing personnel with security clearances to
support certain governmental agencies. Clients are offered a unique mix of nationwide coverage,
multi-vendor and multi-system support, project management expertise, and customized service
programs. The result is a customized solution that meets our customers enterprise maintenance
requirements while reducing their costs.
We provide our maintenance services to over 25,000 locations and more than 350,000 units of
equipment through a wide variety of custom designed programs. A 7x24x365 dispatch center, a
state-of-the-art depot repair facility, inventory warehouses and a technical support staff supports
our enterprise maintenance clients. Halifax is an authorized service provider for many major
manufacturers, including International Business Machines, Hewlett Packard, Dell, Gateway and
Lexmark.
Halifax works closely with each client to develop and implement the service program needed to
achieve its business objectives. We draw from a wide range of services expertise and an
established corporate technology base to deliver customized, results-driven enterprise maintenance
solutions.
Technology Deployment and Integration Services
We provide technology deployment and integration services through several of our alliance partners
and certain direct customers. At present, our principal service offering is seat management, which
is a highly customizable and comprehensive service that encompasses the management, operation, and
maintenance of an organizations desktops, servers, communications, printers, peripherals and
associated network infrastructure and components. This service transfers complete PC desktop
responsibility along with all associated services from the client to us. In return, the
organization is afforded a full spectrum of computing resources for a fixed price per seat
through a single ordering process.
Our seat management services provide each client with a business solution that is flexible enough
to suit the unique requirements of the organization, while still offering the client absolute
control over its IT environment by defining the level of service required to support the end users
and the clients missions.
Our seat management services provide numerous tangible benefits that can have an immediate impact
on an organization. These benefits include the ability to:
|
|
|
Reduce our clients total cost of ownership; |
|
|
|
|
Improve service levels and response times; |
|
|
|
|
Reduce the administrative costs for procurement; |
|
|
|
|

We continue to work toward expanding our commercial and state/municipal government business.
Commercial revenues are being pursued by targeting non-federal and IT outsourcing opportunities.
State/municipal government contracts may increase as a result of privatization opportunities.
Types of Contracts
We perform services under time-and-material, fixed unit-price, subcontracts, and General Services
Administration, or GSA, schedule contracts. For time-and-material contracts, we receive a fixed
hourly rate intended to cover salary costs attributable to work performed on the contracts and
related indirect expenses, as well as a profit margin, and reimbursement for other direct costs.
Under fixed unit-price contracts, we are paid an agreed-upon price per unit for services rendered.
Under fixed unit-price contracts and time-and-material contracts, we bear any risk of increased or
unexpected costs that may reduce our profits or cause us to sustain losses. When we are selected
under a GSA schedule contract to provide products or services, revenues are recognized upon
delivery of the product or services. Presently, our sales under the GSA contract are limited to
product sales, where the risks related to unexpected costs increases do not exist.
For the three years ended March 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, approximately 90%, of our revenues
received were from fixed unit-price revenues contracts.
We are sensitive to the present climate in the government with respect to fraud, waste and abuse,
and have adopted a Code of Business Ethics and Standards of Conduct and associated procedures. In
addition, all employees receive training in business ethics and associated procedures, and a
hotline has been established to encourage reporting of potential ethical violations.
Our primary offices include locations in:
|
|
|
Alexandria, Virginia; |
|
|
|
|
Harrisburg, Pennsylvania; |
|
|
|
|
Richmond, Virginia; |
|

|
|
|
|
Charleston, South Carolina; |
|
|
|
|
Seattle, Washington; and |
|
|
|
|
Ft. Worth, Texas. |
Accounts Receivable
Trade accounts receivable at March 31, 2007 and 2006 represented 48% and 42% of total assets,
respectively. Accounts receivable are comprised of billed and unbilled receivables. Billed
receivables represent invoices presented to the customer. Unbilled receivables represent revenues
earned with future payments due from the customer for which invoices will not be presented until a
later period.
3
Backlog
Our funded backlog for services as of March 31, 2007 was $69.0 million and $60.7 million at March
31, 2006. Of the $69.0 million of backlog at March 31, 2007, approximately 50% of our backlog is
expected to be recognized during fiscal year 2008. Funded backlog represents commercial orders
and government contracts to the extent that funds have been appropriated by and allotted to the
contract by the procuring entity, some of which may span multiple years. Some of our contract
orders provide for potential funding in excess of the monies initially provided by the government.
Additional monies are subsequently and periodically authorized in the form of incremental funding
documents. The excess of potential future funding over funding provided represents unfunded
backlog. A majority of our customer orders or contract awards and extensions for contracts
previously awarded are received or occur at various times during the year and may have varying
periods of performance.
Sales and Marketing
Our direct sales and marketing organization is focused on delivering additional services and
solutions to our targeted markets and current client base. Our marketing efforts have focused on
increasing brand awareness, enhancing bid and proposal capabilities, producing targeted sales aids,
identifying high potential sales leads, and engaging in other public relations activities.
We deliver services and solutions through a variety of distribution channels. We have developed
strong partnership alliances with certain global services providers, OEMs and system integrators.
We have also developed several direct relationships with commercial, federal, state and local
customers.
Competition
We have numerous competitors in our marketplace. Some competitors are large diversified firms
having substantially greater financial resources and a larger technical staff than ours, including,
in some cases, the manufacturers of the systems being supported, and others are small companies
within a regional market or market niche. Customer in-house capabilities can also create
competition in that they perform certain services which might otherwise be performed by us. It is
not possible to predict the extent of competition which our present or future activities will
encounter because of changing competitive conditions, customer requirements, technological
developments and other factors. The principal competitive factors for the type of service business
in which we are engaged are technology skills, quality, pricing, responsiveness and the ability to
perform within estimated time and expense guidelines.
We believe we are most competitive where the customer is geographically dispersed throughout the
U.S. and demands high service attainment levels.
Personnel
On March 31, 2007, we had 517 employees, of whom 55 were part-time and 40 were temporary employees.
Because of the nature of our services, many employees are professional or technical personnel with
high levels of training and skills, including engineers, skilled technicians and mechanics. We
believe our employee relations are excellent. Although many of our personnel are highly
specialized, we have not experienced material difficulties obtaining the personnel required to
perform under our contracts and generally do not bid on contracts where difficulty may be
encountered in providing these necessary services. Management believes that the future growth and
our success will depend, in part, upon our continued ability to retain and attract highly qualified
personnel.

Item 1A Risk Factors
Investing in our common stock involves risks. You should carefully consider all of the information
contained in this Annual Report on Form 10-K and, in particular, the risks described below.
Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or those we currently deem immaterial
may impair our business operations in the future. If any of the following risks actually occur,
our business, financial condition or results of operations could be materially harmed and you may
lose part or all of your investment.
We experienced losses from continuing operations in fiscal 2007 and 2006, and continued losses may
negatively impact our financial position and value of our common stock.
We incurred a losses from continuing operations in fiscal 2007 of $2.8 million and a loss from
continuing operations of $1.3 million in fiscal year 2006. The primary reasons for the loss from
continuing operations in fiscal 2007 were losses associated with an equipment roll out project in
the fourth quarter, an accounting charge for inventory obsolescence, and an accounting charge as
the result of the establishment of a 100% valuation reserve against our deferred tax asset. As we
focus on our core business, there are no assurances that our cost containment efforts will be
successful in curbing expenses or that we will be able to accurately estimate start-up costs and
expenses associated with new contracts. If we incur expenses at a greater pace than our revenues,
we could incur additional losses. If we
continue to experience losses, our financial position could be negatively impacted and the value of
our common stock may decline.
5
Our revenues are derived from a few major customers, the loss of any of which could cause our
results of operations to be adversely affected.
We have a number of major customers. Our largest customer accounted for 29%, 20%, and 20% of our
revenues for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Through the
aggregation of multiple contracts, our largest customer during fiscal year ended March 31, 2007 was
IBM. Our five largest customers collectively accounted for 60%, 54% and 65% of revenues for the
fiscal years ended March 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively. We anticipate that significant
customer concentration will continue for the foreseeable future, although the companies which
constitute our largest customers may change from period to period. Factors beyond our control,
including political, state and federal budget issues, competitor prices and other factors may have
an impact on our ability to retain contracts. The loss of any one or more of these customers may
adversely affect our results.
If we experience a decline in cash flow or are unable to maintain compliance with the covenants
contained in our revolving credit facility, our ability to operate could be adversely affected.
If either cash flow from operations declines or borrowings under our revolving credit agreement are
insufficient to meet our needs, our ability to operate could be adversely affected. In addition,
the loss of a significant contract, adverse economic conditions or other adverse circumstances may
cause our capital resources to change dramatically. Operating results may also be negatively
affected due to costs associated with starting a major contract. Many costs associated with
starting a new contract, such as hiring additional personnel, training, travel and logistics are
expensed as incurred and may also significantly impact cash flow during the startup period.
Additional funds, if needed, to help fund start-up costs related to a major new contract may not be
available. We view our revolving credit facility as a critical source of available liquidity. This
facility contains various conditions, covenants and representations with which we must be in
compliance in order to borrow funds. We were not in compliance with the terms of our revolving
credit facility at March 31, 2007. We requested and obtained a waiver from our bank for the
non-compliance with the financial covenants as of March 31, 2007 and June 30, 2007. There is no
assurance that we will remain in compliance with the conditions, covenants and representations
contained in the revolving credit agreement or that the bank will continue to grant waivers for
non-compliance. The maturity of our revolving credit agreement is June 30, 2008. Although we
believe our relationship with our lender is satisfactory and we have requested and received waivers
in the past for non-compliance with the financial covenants of our revolving credit agreement,
there are no assurances that the lender will waive these covenants should we experience
non-compliance in the future. We are in process of the completing the review of alternative sources
of financing, which may replace our existing credit facilities if we are unable to comply with our
financial covenants in the future.
We operate in a highly competitive market. If we are unable to offer competitive products and
services, our business may be adversely affected.
We have numerous competitors in our marketplace. Some competitors are large diversified firms
having substantially greater financial resources and a larger technical staff than us, including,
in some cases, the manufacturers of the systems being supported, and others are small companies
within a regional market or market niche. Customer in-house capabilities can also create
competition in that they perform certain services which might otherwise be performed by us. It is
not possible to predict the extent of competition which our present or future activities will
encounter because of changing competitive conditions, customer requirements, technological
developments and other factors.
The industry in which we operate has been characterized by rapid technological advances that have
resulted in frequent introductions of new products, product enhancements and aggressive pricing
practices, which also impacts pricing of service activities. We continue to see significant price
competition and customer demand for higher service attainment levels. In addition, there is
significant price competition in the market for state and local government contracts as a result of
budget issues, political pressure and other factors beyond our control. As experienced with losses
of some of our contracts, high quality and longevity of service may have little influence in the
customer decision making process. Also, our operating results could be adversely impacted should
we be unable to achieve the revenues growth necessary to provide profitable operating margins in
various operations.
Our operating results may be adversely affected because of pricing pressures brought about by
competition, proprietary technology that we are unable to support, presence of competitors with
greater financial and other resources or other factors beyond our control.
6
Our revenues and results of operations may vary period to period, which may cause the common stock
price to fluctuate.
Our quarterly and annual revenues and results of operations may vary significantly in the future
due to a number of factors, which could cause the common stock price to fluctuate greatly. Factors
that may affect our quarterly and annual results include but are not limited to:
|
|
|
changes in economic conditions; |
|
|
|
|
disruptions or downturns in general economic activity resulting from terrorist
activity and armed conflict; |
|
|
|
|
competitive pricing pressure; |
|
|
|
|
lengthening sales cycles; |
|
|
|
|
obsolescence of technology; |
|
|
|
|
increases in prices of components used to support our enterprise maintenance solutions; |
|
|
|
|
loss of material contracts; and |
|
|
|
|
the success of our business strategy in providing improved operating results. |
Unfavorable economic conditions, increases in reserves for inventory obsolescence and additional
costs associated with an equipment roll out contract in the forth quarter have adversely affected
our results of operations and led to a decline in our growth rates. We incurred a loss of $2.8
million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007, which also included a charge to increases in our
reserve for inventory obsolescence and a charge to provide a100% valuation reserve on our deferred
tax asset.
Our business was also negatively affected by the economic slowdown and reductions in spending by
our customers in 2007 and 2006. The rate at which the portions of our industry improve is critical
to our overall performance.
Many of our services are sold as part of a larger technology outsourcing solution. In the past, we
have experienced historical growth in our business as we have assumed responsibility for
maintaining our customers IT infrastructure. The demand for these services has been adversely
affected by the effects of a weakened economy in recent periods with many businesses focusing on
cost containment strategies and eliminating or curtailing maintenance.
We depend on recurring long-term contracts for services from a limited number of large original
equipment manufacturers, or OEMs, partners and end users. Our agreements with OEMs are in the form
of master service agreements and are typically cancelable, non-exclusive and have no minimum
purchase requirements.
Factors beyond our control, including political, state and federal budget issues, price and other
factors may have an impact on our ability to successfully retain contracts.
If we are unable to generate sufficient revenues, we may have to further down size.
For fiscal years ended March 31, 2006 and 2007, revenues decreased from $54.9 million to $50.7
million. Gross margin was $4.4 million and $3.7 million for fiscal years 2007 and 2006,
respectively. If we are unable to generate sufficient new business to replace the secure networks
business sold in June 2005, we may be forced to consolidate our operations to reduce operating
expenses sufficiently to achieve profitable operations. There can be no assurances that we will be
able to generate sufficient new business or that our cost containment measures in place will
provide us the ability to attain profits in the future.
7
If we are unable to retain and attract highly qualified personnel to fulfill our contract
obligations, our business may be harmed.
Our most important resource is our employees. Although many of our personnel are highly
specialized, we have not experienced material difficulties obtaining the personnel required to
perform under our contracts and generally do not bid on contracts where difficulty may be
encountered in providing these necessary services. However, there can be no assurance that we will
not experience difficulties in the future obtaining the personnel necessary to fulfill our
obligations under our contracts.
We are subject to risks related to fluctuations in interest rates.
We are exposed to changes in interest rates, primarily as a result of using borrowed funds to
finance our business. The floating interest debt exposes us to interest rate risk, with the primary
interest rate exposure resulting from changes in the prime rate. Adverse changes in the interest
rates or our inability to refinance our long-term obligations may have a material negative impact
on our results of operations and financial condition.
We incur significant costs in connection with the start-up of new contracts before receiving
related revenues, which could result in cash shortfalls and fluctuations in quarterly results from
period to period.
When we are awarded a contract to provide services, we may incur expenses before we receive any
contract payments. These expenses include purchasing equipment and hiring personnel. For example,
contracts may not fund program start-up costs and we may be required to invest significant sums of
money before receiving related contract payments. Additionally, any resulting cash shortfall could
be exacerbated if we fail to either invoice the customer or to collect fees in a timely manner. A
cash shortfall could result in significant consequences. For example, it:
|
|
|
could increase our vulnerability to general adverse economic and industry
conditions; |
|
|
|
|
will require us to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flow from
operations to service payments on our indebtedness; reducing the availability of
our cash flow to fund future capital expenditures, working capital, execution of
our growth strategy, research and development costs and other general corporate
requirements; |
|
|
|
|
could limit our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our
business and industry, which may place us at a competitive disadvantage compared
with competitors; and |
|
|
|
|
could limit our ability to borrow additional funds, even when necessary to
maintain adequate liquidity. |
As a result, there are no assurances that additional funds, if needed, to help fund start-up costs
related to a major new contract would be available or, if available, on terms advantageous to us.
Some of our contracts contain fixed-price provisions that could result in decreased profits if we
fail to accurately estimate our costs.
Some of our contracts contain pricing provisions that require the payment of a set fee by the
customer for our services regardless of the costs we incur in performing these services. In such
situations, we are exposed to the risk that it will incur significant unforeseen costs in
performing the contract. Therefore, the financial success of a fixed-price contract is dependent
upon the accuracy of our cost estimates made during contract negotiations. Prior to bidding on a
fixed-price contract, we attempt to factor in variables including equipment costs, labor and
related expenses over the term of the contract. However, it is difficult to predict future costs,
especially for contract terms that range from 3 to 5 years. Any shortfalls resulting from the risks
associated with fixed-price contracts will reduce our working capital and profitability. Our
inability to accurately estimate the cost of providing services under these contracts could have an
adverse effect on our profitability and cash flows.
8
If we are unable to effectively and efficiently manage our costs, our results of operations may be
adversely affected.
We have taken, and continue to take, cost reduction actions. Our ability to complete these actions
and the impact of such actions on our business may be limited by a variety of factors. The cost
reduction actions may in turn expose us to additional service delivery risks and have an adverse
impact on our sales and profitability. We have been reducing costs and streamlining our business
process throughout our organization. We have reduced our physical facilities, reduced our employee
population, improved our repair facilities, and reduced other costs. The impact of these
cost-reduction actions on our revenues and profitability may be influenced by factors including,
but not limited to:
|
|
|
our ability to complete these on-going efforts, |
|
|
|
|
our ability to generate the level of savings we expect and/or that are necessary to
enable us to effectively compete, |
|
|
|
|
decrease in employee personnel, |
|
|
|
|
ability to generate sufficient revenue and or reduce operating expenses to offset the
contribution that was generated from the secure network services business which was sold
on June 30, 2005, and |
|
|
|
|
the performance of other parties under arrangements on which we rely to support parts
or components. |
If we fail to maintain an effective system of internal controls over financial reporting, we may
not be able to accurately report our financial results or prevent fraud. As a result, current and
potential stockholders and customers could lose confidence in our financial reporting, which could
harm our business, the trading price of our stock and our ability to retain our current customers
or obtain new customers.
We are in the process of evaluating our internal controls over financial reporting in order to
satisfy the requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, which requires annual management
assessments of the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting and a report by
our independent auditors on the effectiveness of our internal controls beginning with the fiscal
years ending March 31, 2008 and 2009, respectively. In this regard, management will be required to
dedicate internal resources to (i) assess and document the adequacy of internal controls over
financial reporting, and (ii) take steps to improve control processes, where appropriate. If we
fail to correct any issues in the design or operating effectiveness of internal control over
financial reporting or fail to prevent fraud, current and potential stockholders and customers
could lose confidence in our financial reporting, which could harm our business, the trading price
of our stock and our ability to retain our current customers and obtain new customers.
If we make future acquisitions of companies, technology and other assets that involve numerous
risks such as difficulty integrating acquired companies, technologies and assets or generating an
acceptable return on our investments.
We may pursue opportunities to acquire companies, technologies and assets that would complement our
current service offerings, expand the breadth of our markets, enhance our technical capabilities,
or that may otherwise offer growth opportunities as we have done in the past. Acquisitions involve
numerous risks, including the following:
|
|
|
difficulties in integrating the operations, technologies, products and personnel of
the acquired companies; |
|
|
|
|
diversion of managements attention from normal daily operations of our business; |
|
|
|
|
difficulties in entering markets in which we have no or limited direct prior
experience and where competitors in such markets have stronger market positions; |
|
|
|
|
initial dependence on unfamiliar supply chains or relatively small supply partners; |
|
|
|
|
insufficient revenues to offset increased expenses associated with acquisitions; and |
|
|
|
|
the potential loss of key employees of the acquired companies. |
9
Acquisitions may also cause us to:
|
|
|
issue common stock or preferred stock or assume stock option plans that would dilute
current shareholders percentage ownership; |
|
|
|
|
use cash, which may result in a reduction of our liquidity; |
|
|
|
|
assume liabilities; |
|
|
|
|
record goodwill and other intangible assets that would be subject to impairment
testing and potential periodic impairment charges; |
|
|
|
|
incur amortization expenses related to certain intangible assets; |
|
|
|
|
incur large and immediate write-offs; and |
|
|
|
|
become subject to litigation. |
Mergers and acquisitions of companies in our industry and related industries are inherently risky,
and no assurance can be given that our acquisition strategy will be successful, that we will have
the resources to pursue this strategy, and will not materially adversely affect our business,
operating results, or financial condition. Failure to manage and successfully integrate
acquisitions could harm our business and operating results in a material way. Even when an acquired
company has already developed and marketed products or services, there can be no assurance that
product enhancements will be made in a timely fashion or that all pre-acquisition due diligence
will have identified all possible issues that might arise with respect to such products or
services.
The Company has capitalized certain fees related to mergers and acquisitions. These fees include
costs directly related to acquisition activity primarily investment banker retainers of
approximately $152,000, which is recorded as a prepaid expense on our balance sheet at March 31,
2007. These costs will be included in the cost of the acquired entity. The Company periodically
reviews the status of its acquisition activity and upon determining that is not likely successful
an acquisition will occur it would expense this amount to operating expense.
We have capitalized certain fees related to mergers and acquisitions. These fees include costs
directly related to acquisition activity primarily investment advisory services of approximately
$152,000, which is recorded as a prepaid expense on our balance sheet at March 31, 2007. These
costs will be included in the cost of the acquired entity. Should we not be successful in
finalizing an acquisition, this would have a negative impact on our results of operations, as we
would expense this amount to operating expense.
We do not expect to pay dividends on our common stock.
We have not declared or paid any dividends on our common stock during fiscal 2007, fiscal 2006 or
fiscal 2005 and do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable
future. Our revolving credit agreement currently prohibits the payment of dividends.
Shareholders of our common stock may face a lack of liquidity.
Although our common stock is currently traded on the American Stock Exchange, given the fact that
our common stock is thinly traded, there can be no assurance that the desirable characteristics of
an active trading market for such securities will ever develop or be maintained. Therefore, each
investors ability to control the timing of the liquidation of the investment in our common stock
will be restricted and an investor may be required to retain investment in our common stock
indefinitely.
The market price of our common stock has been and is likely to continue to be volatile, which may
make it difficult for shareholders to resell common stock when they want to and at prices they find
attractive.
10
Our share price has been volatile due, in part, to the general volatile securities market. Factors
other than our operating results may affect our share price, including the level of perceived
growth of the industries in which we participate, market expectations of our performance success of
the partners, and the sale or purchase of large amounts of our common stock.
Provisions in our corporate charter documents could delay or prevent a change in control.
Our Articles of Incorporation, as amended, and Bylaws contain certain provisions that would make a
takeover of our company more difficult. Under our Articles of Incorporation, as amended, we have
authorized 1,500,000 shares of preferred stock, which the Board of Directors may issue with terms,
rights, preferences and designations as the Board of Directors may determine and without the vote
of shareholders, unless otherwise required by law. Currently, there are no shares of preferred
stock issued and outstanding. Issuing the preferred stock, depending on the rights, preferences and
designations set by the Board of Directors, may delay, deter, or prevent a change in control of us.
Issuing additional shares of common stock could result in a dilution of the voting power of the
current holders of the common stock. This may tend to perpetuate existing management and place it
in a better position to resist changes that the shareholders may want to make if dissatisfied with
the conduct of our business.
Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments
Not applicable
Item 2. Properties
As of March 31, 2007, we had obligations under 16 short-term facility leases associated with our
operations. Total rent expense under existing leases was $1.1 million, $1.3 million, and $1.1
million for the years ended March 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively. See Note 13 to the
Consolidated Financial Statements. Our executive offices are located in Alexandria, VA; with
additional locations in Harrisburg, PA; Richmond, VA; Trenton, NJ; Charleston, SC; Ft. Worth, TX,
and Seattle, WA.
On November 6, 1997, we sold our headquarters office complex for $5.25 million and leased back the
building. The transaction generated other income of $1.49 million of which $715,000 was deferred
and is being amortized over the 12 year lease-back of our headquarters building. The monthly rent
is approximately $50,000.
Item 3. Legal Proceedings
On June 30, 2005, we simultaneously entered into and closed on an asset purchase agreement (the
Agreement) with INDUS Corporation (Indus), pursuant to which we sold substantially all of the
assets and certain liabilities of our secure network business. The purchase price was approximately
$12.5 million, subject to adjustments as provided in the Agreement, based on the net assets of the
business on the closing date. The Agreement also provided that $3.0 million of the purchase price
was held in escrow (the Escrow). The terms of the Agreement, including the Escrow, are as set
forth in the Form 8-K filed with the SEC on July 1, 2005, as amended by our Form 8-K/A filed with
the SEC on July 7, 2005.
Pursuant to the Escrow, on July 8, 2005, we received $1,000,000 and on January 26, 2006, we
received $1,375,000. On or about December 31, 2006, an additional $625,000 from escrow, which was
being held as security in escrow for our indemnification obligations under the Agreement, was to be
disbursed to us. However, on December 28, 2006, we received a Notice of Claim from Indus, pursuant
to which Indus alleged various breaches of certain representations and warranties in the Agreement
by us. Indus takes the position that these alleged breaches entitle Indus to indemnification. As a
result, Indus further takes the position that the entire amount remaining in Escrow which totaled
$625,000 plus interest of approximately $48,000, should be disbursed to Indus. The total amount of
$673,000 held in escrow is recorded as restricted cash on the accompanying financial statements.
We delivered a Response Notice to the escrow agent and Indus disputing the claims of Indus set
forth in its Notice of Claim. We believe the claim is without merit. On June 26, 2007 we filed a
complaint against Indus in the Virginia Circuit Court requesting a declaratory judgment, and other
relief, including a demand that Indus withdraw its claim and disburse the funds held in escrow. No
adjustment to the accompanying financial statements has been made related to this matter.
11
From time to time, we are engaged in ordinary routine litigation incidental to our business to
which we are a party. While we cannot predict the ultimate outcome of these matters, or other
routine litigation matters, it is managements opinion that the resolution of these matters should
not have a material effect on our financial position or results of operations.
Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders
None.

On June 22, 2007, the closing price of our common stock on the American Stock Exchange was $3.00.
We did not declare a cash dividend in either fiscal year 2007 or 2006, and there is no assurance we
will do so in future periods. Our revolving credit loan agreement prohibits the payment of
dividends and limits payment of principal or interest on our subordinated debt without a waiver
from the bank. As a Virginia corporation, we may not declare and pay dividends on capital stock,
if after giving effect to a dividend our total assets would be less than the sum of our total
liabilities or we would not be able to pay our debts when due in the usual course of business. We
currently expect to retain our future earnings for use in the operation and expansion of our
business and do not anticipate paying any cash dividend in the future.

Item 7. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Overview
We are a nationwide, high availability, multi-vendor enterprise maintenance service and solutions
provider for enterprises, including business, global services providers, governmental agencies and
other organizations. We have undertaken significant changes to our business in recent years.
After selling the operational outsourcing division in 2001, we began the shift of our business to a
predominantly services model. In September 2004, we completed the acquisition of AlphaNational
Technology Services, Inc. and in August 2003, we completed the acquisition of Microserv, Inc.
These acquisitions significantly expanded our geographic base, strengthened our nationwide service
delivery capabilities, bolstered management depth, and added several prestigious customers.
On June 30, 2005, we sold our secure network services business. We undertook this sale to leverage
the valuations in federal government properties and to enable us to focus our resources and
management on our core business of high availability maintenance services and technology deployment
and integration services. The proceeds from this transaction were used to pay down outstanding
indebtedness and provide working capital.
We offer a growing list of services to businesses, global service providers, governmental agencies
and other organizations. Our services are customized to meet each customers needs providing
7x24x365 service, personnel with required security clearances for certain governmental programs,
project management services, depot repair and roll out services. We believe the flexible services
we offer to our customers enable us to tailor solutions to obtain maximum efficiencies within their
budgeting constraints.
We incurred a loss for year ended March 31, 2007, primarily as a result a loss in our fourth
quarter from an equipment roll out project, a charge to increase our reserve for obsolete
inventory, and a charge to record 100% valuation reserve against our deferred tax asset. The
increase in the reserve for obsolete inventory resulted from changes in the mix of the equipment
that we support, as a result of technology upgrades by our customers.
Services revenues includes monthly recurring fixed unit-price contracts as well as
time-and-material contracts. Revenues related to the fixed-price service agreements are recognized
ratably over the lives of the agreements. Amounts billed in advance of the services period are
recorded as unearned revenues and recognized when earned. Losses on contracts, if any, are
recognized in the period in which the losses become determinable.
When we are awarded a contract to provide services, we may incur expenses before we receive any
contract payments. This may result in a cash short fall that may impact our working capital and
financing. This may also cause fluctuations in operating results as start-up costs are expensed as
incurred. See Risk Factors We incur significant costs in connection with the start-up of new
contracts before receiving related revenues, which could result in cash shortfalls and fluctuations
in quarterly results from period to period.
The revenues and related expenses associated with product sales are recognized when the products
are delivered and accepted by the customer.
Our goal is to return to and maintain profitable operations, expand our customer base of clients
through our existing global service provider partners, seek new global service provider partners,
and enhance the technology we utilize to deliver cost-effective services to our growing customer
base. Our ability to increase profitability will be impacted by our ability to continue to compete
within the industry, and our ability to replace contracts which were sold in connection with the
sale of the secure network services business. We must also effectively manage expenses in relation
to revenues by directing new business development towards markets that complement or improve our
existing service lines. We must continue to emphasize operating efficiencies through cost
containment strategies, re-engineering efforts and improved service delivery techniques,
particularly within costs of services, selling, marketing and general and administrative expenses.
Our future operating results may be affected by a number of factors including uncertainties
relative to national economic conditions and terrorism, especially as they affect interest rates,
the reduction in revenue as a result of the sale of our secure network services business, industry
factors and our ability to successfully increase our sales of services, accurately estimate costs
when bidding on a contract, and effectively manage expenses.
16
We have streamlined our service delivery process, expanded our depot repair facility to repair
rather than purchase new component parts and are working with our customers to modify the processes
under which services are rendered to our customers.
We plan to effectively manage expenses in relation to revenues by directing new business
development towards markets that complement or improve our existing service lines. Management must
also continue to emphasize operating efficiencies through cost containment strategies,
reengineering efforts and improved service delivery techniques.
The industry in which we operate has experienced unfavorable economic conditions and competitive
challenges. Our 2007 and 2006 operating results reflect the impact of this challenging
environment. We continue to experience significant price competition and customer demand for
higher service attainment levels. In addition, there is significant price competition in the
market for state and local government contracts as a result of budget issues, political pressure
and other factors beyond our control. It has been our experience that longevity and quality of
service may have little influence in the customer decision making process.
Consolidated Results of Operations
The following discussion and analysis provides information that management believes is relevant to
an assessment and understanding of our Consolidated Results of Operations for the fiscal years
ended March 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005 and financial condition as of March 31, 2007 and 2006. We
operate as a single business segment, whereby we provide high availability maintenance services,
and technology deployment and integration for commercial and governmental clients.
On June 30, 2005, we completed the sale of our Secure Network Services business. The results of
operations for our Secure Network Services business has been classified as discontinued operations
for all periods presented.

Revenues
Revenues are generated from the sale of high availability enterprise maintenance services and
technology deployment and integration services (consisting of professional services, seat
management and deployment services, and product sales). Services revenues include monthly
recurring fixed unit-price contracts as well as time-and-material contracts. Amounts billed in
advance of the service period are recorded as unearned revenues and recognized when earned. The
revenues and related expenses associated with product held for resale are recognized when the
products are delivered and accepted by the customer. Product held for resale consists of hardware
and software.
The components of revenues are as follows:

During fiscal year 2007, total revenues decreased 8%, or $4.2 million, to $50.7 million compared to
$54.9 million in fiscal year 2006. Product held for resale decreased from $3.4 million in fiscal
year 2006 to $2.5 million in fiscal year 2007, or a 25% decrease. In Fiscal year 2007 total revenues
decreased due to the termination of a large nation-wide enterprise maintenance contract that was
terminated in April 2006, which was partially offset by new more profitable business, and lower
revenues from product held for resale as we continue to de-emphasize product sales.
Fiscal year 2006 total revenues increased 13%, or $6.5 million, to $54.9 million for fiscal year
2006 compared to $48.4 million in fiscal year 2005. The increase in revenues in 2006 was
attributable to the start-up of a large nation-wide enterprise maintenance contract. Product held
for resale increased by $670,000, or 25%, during fiscal year 2006 to $3.4 million compared to $2.7
million in 2005. The increase in product held for resale in fiscal year 2006 was from some large
one-time orders.
Operating costs and expenses
Included within operating costs and expenses are direct costs, including fringe benefits, product
and part costs, and other costs.
A large part of our service costs are support costs and expenses that include direct labor and
infrastructure costs to support our service offerings. Although operating costs decreased in
fiscal year 2007, we anticipate that the direct costs to support these service offerings will
continue to increase as a result of the impact of inflation and energy costs as well as costs
incurred as we continue to support new and expanded service offerings.
On long-term fixed unit-price contracts, part costs vary depending upon the call volume received
from customers during the period. Many of these costs are volume driven and as volume increases,
these costs as a percentage of revenues increase, generating a negative impact to profit margins.
The variable component of these costs are product and part costs, overtime, subcontracted work and
freight. Product is separated into two categories: parts and equipment to support our service
base and product held for resale. Part costs are highly variable and are dependent on several
factors. On long-term fixed unit-price contracts, parts and peripherals are consumed on service
calls. For installation services and seat management services, product may consist of hardware,
software, cabling and other materials that are components of the service performed. Product held
for resale consists of hardware and software.

Operating costs and expenses decreased 11% in fiscal year 2007, from $51.2 million in fiscal 2006
to $46.2 million in fiscal year 2007 in relation to the decrease in revenues, as we shifted to more
profitable contracts. Costs of services increased 10% in fiscal year 2006, from $46.5 million in
fiscal year 2005 to $51.2 million in fiscal year 2006. The increase in direct costs was due to
increases in salaries and overtime costs related to the large, nation-wide, enterprise maintenance
contract, partially offset by lower costs in product held for resale as a result of lower revenue
volumes in fiscal year 2006 as compared to fiscal year 2005. When comparing fiscal year 2007 to
fiscal year 2006 the large decease in costs of services in fiscal year 2007 was primarily the
result of the elimination of the revenue and the costs associated with a large nation-wide high
availability maintenance contract. Conversely, in comparing fiscal year 2006 to fiscal year 2005
the increase in costs during fiscal year 2006 was associated with the aforementioned contract which
was terminated in April 2006.
During fiscal year 2007, our cost of services, delivery and support decreased 10%, or $4.5 million,
to $38.4 million in fiscal year 2007 from $42.9 million in fiscal year 2006, as a result of the
decrease in revenue, primarily as a result to the contract termination discussed above.
During fiscal year 2006, our cost of services delivery and support increased by $4.1 million from
$38.8 million during fiscal year 2005 to $42.9 million in fiscal year 2006.The increase in services
delivery and support was related to the costs associated with a large nation-wide enterprise
maintenance contract that was unprofitable. Other increased costs that are initially incurred at
the start of a new contract that are difficult to measure, such as increased repair times due to
becoming familiar with new product sets and higher call volumes which are inherent when one
switches service providers, normally decrease over time and result in savings over the term of the
contract. The anticipated decrease in costs did not materialize. We also experienced higher than
anticipated failure rates on certain pieces of equipment, which contributed to the poor performance
on this contract and operating results for the fiscal year.
During fiscal years 2007 and 2006, we continued to see pressure on gross margins on product
held for resale due to the competitively priced product market experienced during these periods.
The costs of product held for resale decreased 26%, from $3.1 million in fiscal year 2006 to $2.3
million in fiscal year 2007, primarily as a result of decreased revenues. During fiscal year 2006,
the cost of product held for resale increased $632,000 to $3.1 million from $2.5 million in fiscal
year 2005 due to increased revenue. The gross margin on product held for resale was $214,000 or
8.5% in fiscal year 2007, $252,000, or 8.0% in fiscal year 2006, and $214,000, or 7.9% in fiscal
year 2005.
Indirect costs include costs related to operating our call center, logistics, dispatch operations,
facility costs and other costs incurred to support the field service technicians and engineers.
Indirect costs increased $342,000 from $5.2 million in fiscal year 2006 to $5.5 million in fiscal
year 2007, a 7% increase. The increase in indirect costs was primarily attributable to a charge to
increase our reserve related to obsolete inventory. The charge for obsolete inventory was $960,000
in fiscal year 2007 compared to $318,000 in fiscal year 2006. The increase in the reserve for
obsolete inventory resulted from changes in the mix of the equipment that we support, as a result
of technology upgrades by our customers.
During fiscal year 2006, indirect costs decreased by $97,000 or 2%, from $5.3 million in fiscal
year 2005 to $5.2 million in fiscal year 2006.
20
Gross Margin
As a percent of revenues, the gross margin percent was 9% for fiscal year 2007, 7% for fiscal year
2006 and 4% for fiscal year 2005, respectively. Gross margins improved $727,000, or 20%, from
fiscal year 2006 primarily as a result of improved profitability on existing contracts, however
gross margins were negatively affected by the obsolete inventory charge and, in addition, a loss in
our fourth quarter from an equipment roll out project. Gross margins increased 95%, or $1.8
million, in fiscal year 2006 when compared to fiscal year 2005. The increase in gross margins in
fiscal year 2006 when compared to fiscal year 2005 was the result of increased revenues and cost
containment actions undertaken.
We continue to work to increase revenues, continue in our cost reduction efforts and deploy
technology to gain operating efficiencies in order to remain competitive. We expect that the
continued shift from product held for resale towards long-term service contracts will have a
positive effect on our gross margins over the long term, and such margins will improve as we
continue to increase our enterprise maintenance solutions base.
Selling and Marketing Expenses
Selling and marketing expenses consist primarily of salaries, commissions, travel costs and related
expenses for personnel engaged in sales. Selling and marketing expenses decreased $370,000 or 26%,
from $1.4 million in fiscal year 2006 to $1.0 million in fiscal year 2007. For fiscal years 2006
and 2005, selling and marketing expense was $1.4 million and $1.8 million, respectively. The
primary reason for the decrease in selling and marketing costs was decreases in personnel costs and
commissions and curtailed marketing efforts.
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses consist primarily of non-allocated overhead costs. These costs
include executive, accounting, contract administration, professional services, such as legal and
audit, business insurance, occupancy and other costs.
General and administrative expense decreased $235,000, or 6%, to $3.4 million in fiscal year 2007,
compared to $3.6 million in fiscal year 2006. The decrease in general and administration expenses
during fiscal year 2007 was the result of lower payroll costs, depreciation expense and occupancy
costs. During fiscal year 2006, general and administrative expenses decreased $104,000, or 3%, from
$3.7 million in fiscal year 2005 to $3.6 million in fiscal year 2006. This decrease was a result
of cost control efforts, including employment actions, and staff reductions.
In spite of vigorous cost containment efforts, various factors, such as changes in insurance
markets, related costs associated with complying with new Securities and Exchange Commission
regulations and the American Stock Exchange requirements may increase general and administrative
expenses which will have a negative impact on our earnings in fiscal year 2008 and future periods.
Severance Costs and Abandonment of Lease
During the year ended March 31, 2006, we recorded severance costs for employees working on several
contracts that expired of approximately $144,000.
In conjunction with the acquisition of AlphaNational Technology Services, Inc., we conducted a
review of our facility requirements and determined that after the completion of the acquisition we
would have excess space. During September 2004, we recorded a charge for abandonment of facility
of approximately $179,000 related to the sub-leasing of rental office space. We leased the excess
space effective October 1, 2004. The abandonment charge was net of minimum sub-lease rents of
approximately $334,000.
Operating Income (Loss)
For the year ended March 31, 2007, the operating income was $0 compared to an operating loss of
$1.5 million for the year ended March 31, 2006. The lack of operating income for fiscal year 2007
was the result of an increased charge for inventory obsolescence and costs in excess of revenues
associated with an equipment roll out contract in the fourth quarter.
21
We incurred an operating loss of $1.5 million in fiscal year 2006 compared an operating loss of
$3.8 million in fiscal year 2005. The operating loss for fiscal year 2006 was the result of
on-going losses in connection with the performance of an unprofitable large nation-wide enterprise
maintenance contract, which was terminated in April 2006, and related severance costs. The operating loss in fiscal year 2005 was primarily due to the losses incurred
on the large, nation-wide, enterprise maintenance contract previously discussed, increases in our
allowance for inventory obsolescence and the abandonment of certain office space.
Interest Expense
Interest expense increased 15% from $583,000 in fiscal year 2006 to $673,000 in fiscal year 2007
due to higher monthly borrowing activities compared to fiscal year 2006 and increases in the prime
rate of interest.
During fiscal year 2006, interest expense decreased 12%, from $663,000 in fiscal year 2005 to
$583,000 in fiscal year 2006 primarily due to lower interest rates.
Income Tax Expense (Benefit)
As a result of recording a 100% valuation reserve on our deferred tax asset during fiscal year
2007, we recorded a provision for income taxes of $2.1 million, compared to an income tax benefit
of $777,000 in fiscal year 2006.
During fiscal year 2006, we recorded an income tax benefit of $777,000 compared to an income tax
benefit of $1.7 million in fiscal year 2005.
For fiscal year 2005, we recorded a tax benefit of $1.7 million and tax expense for discontinued
operations of $900,000.
At March 31, 2007, the deferred tax asset was $0 compared to a deferred tax asset of $2.2 million
at March 31, 2006. Note 11 to the consolidated financial statements contains an analysis of our
deferred tax assets.
Income from Discontinued Operations
As a result of the sale of the secure networks services business in June 2005, the results of
operations of such business have been classified as discontinued operations for fiscal years 2006
and 2005. Income from discontinued operations was $310,000 and $1.4 million for fiscal years 2006
and 2005, respectively.
Gain on Sale of Discontinued Operations
We completed the sale of our secure network services business on June 30, 2005. As a requirement of
the sale of our secure network services business, we deferred the recognition of the gain on the
sale until certain contract contingencies related to the novation of a key contract were obtained.
On January 26, 2006, the final novations were received and the contingencies resolved. As a result
of the foregoing, we have recorded a gain on the sale of discontinued operations during fiscal year
2006, net of taxes of $3.6 million, of approximately $2.5 million.
Net (Loss) Income
We reported net loss of $2.8 million in fiscal year 2007, $(.88) per share. As discussed
previously, the loss was principally the result of a loss on an equipment roll out project in the
fourth quarter, a charge to increase our reserve for inventory obsolescence, and a charge to record
a 100% valuation reserve on our deferred tax asset.
As a result of income from discontinued operations and the gain on the sale of discontinued
operations partially offset by the loss from continuing operations, we reported net income of $1.5
million for fiscal year 2006 or, earnings per share of $.48 basic and diluted. As discussed above
the principal reasons for the loss from continuing operations of $1.3 million in fiscal year 2006,
were the losses incurred on a long-term, nation-wide, enterprise maintenance contract, and
severance related costs.
22
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation
and amortization was $981,000, $1.1 million, and $1.2 million for the fiscal years
ended March 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively. During fiscal year 2007, depreciation and
amortization decreased approximately $120,000 compared to fiscal year 2006. The decrease in
depreciation expense was due to certain assets becoming fully depreciated and price decreases in
new equipment resulting in lower expense. We continue to focus the majority of our capital
spending on technology enhancements that will increase operating efficiencies.
Sale of Secure Network Services Business
On June 30, 2005, we simultaneously entered into and closed on an asset purchase agreement (the
Agreement) with INDUS Corporation (Indus) pursuant to which we sold substantially all of the
assets and certain liabilities of our secure network services business. The purchase price was
approximately $12.5 million, in addition to adjustments for working capital of approximately
$608,000 for total consideration of approximately $13.1 million. As a result of receiving
notification that the key contract had been novated, we recorded a gain on the sale of the secure
network services business after taxes, fees and costs of approximately $2.5 million (net of income
taxes of approximately $3.6 million) during our fiscal year ended March 31, 2006. As a result of
the sale of the secure network services business, we utilized a portion of its net operating loss
carryforward of approximately $6.5 million in fiscal year ended March 31, 2006 and had reduced our
deferred tax asset accordingly.
The asset purchase agreement contains representations, warranties, covenants and related
indemnification provisions, in each case that are customary in connection with a transaction of
this type; however, certain of the representations and warranties required updating to a date which
is the earlier of the contract novation or thirty months from the closing. In addition, survival
periods applicable to such updated warranties may be extended together with related indemnification
periods.
Approximately $673,000 of the original escrow amount plus interest remains in escrow as security
for the payment of our indemnification obligations pursuant to the asset purchase agreement and is
classified as restricted cash in the accompanying financial statements. On December 28, 2006, we
received a Notice of Claim from Indus, pursuant to which Indus alleged various breaches of certain
representations and warranties in the Agreement by us. Indus takes the position that these alleged
breaches entitle Indus to indemnification. As a result, Indus further takes the position that the
entire amount remaining in Escrow which totaled $673,000 including interest, should be disbursed to
Indus. We delivered a Response Notice to the escrow agent and Indus and disputed the claims of
Indus set forth in its Notice of Claim. We believe the claim is without merit. On June 26, 2007 we
filed a complaint against Indus in the Virginia Circuit Court requesting a declaratory judgment,
and other relief, including a demand that Indus Withdraw its claim and disburse the funds in
escrow. No adjustments to the accompanying financial statements have been made relating to this
matter.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of March 31, 2007, we had approximately $1.1 million of cash on hand. Sources of our cash in
fiscal 2007 have been from cash generated from operations and from our revolving credit facility.
We are continuing to focus on our core high availability maintenance services business while at the
same time evaluating our future strategic direction. As part of our business strategy, we intend
on reducing our indebtedness.
We anticipate that our primary sources of liquidity in fiscal 2008 will be cash generated from
operations and cash available to us under our revolving credit agreement.
Cash generated from operations may be affected by a number of factors. See Risk Factors for a
discussion of the factors that can negatively impact the amount of cash we generate from our
operations.
Although we have no definite plans to undertake any future debt or equity financing, we will
continue to evaluate all potential funding alternatives. Among the possibilities for raising
additional funds are issuances of debt or equity securities, and other borrowings under secured or
unsecured credit facilities. There can be no assurances that additional funds will be available to
us on acceptable terms or the timing thereof.
23
Our future financial performance will depend on our ability to continue to reduce and manage
operating expenses, as well as our ability to grow revenues through obtaining new contracts and
replacing contracts sold in connection with the sale of the secure networks services business. Our
revenues will continue to be impacted by the loss of customers due to price competition and
technological advances. Our future financial performance could be negatively affected by
unforeseen factors and unplanned expenses. See Risk Factors.
In furtherance of our business strategy, transactions we may enter into could increase or decrease
our liquidity at any point in time. If we were to obtain a significant contract or make contract
modifications, we may be required to expend our cash or incur debt, which will decrease our
liquidity. Conversely, if we dispose of assets, we may receive proceeds from such sales which
could increase our liquidity. From time to time, we are in discussions concerning acquisitions and
dispositions which, if consummated, could impact our liquidity, perhaps significantly.
We expect to continue to require funds to meet remaining interest and principal payment
obligations, capital expenditures and other non-operating expenses. See the discussion below
including the Contractual Obligations table. Our future capital requirements will depend on many
factors, including revenue growth, expansion of our service offerings and business strategy. We
believe that our available funds, together with our existing revolving credit facility, will be
adequate to satisfy our current and planned operations for at least through fiscal year 2008. We
are in process of the completing the review of alternative sources of financing, which may replace
our existing credit facilities if we are unable to comply with our financial covenants in the
future.
The table below reflects our liquidity and capital resources.

At March 31, 2007, we had working capital of $1.3 million compared to working capital of $9.7
million at March 31, 2006. The current ratio was 1.07 at March 31, 2007 compared to 1.87 at March
31, 2006.
On June 30, 2005 we sold our secure network services business for $12.5 million. The gain on the
sale of the business was $2.5 million net of taxes and fees. The net cash after taxes and fees was
approximately $10.0 million. The proceeds were used to reduce debt and provide working capital.
Capital expenditures in fiscal year 2007 were $477,000, and in fiscal year 2006 were $588,000. We
anticipate fiscal year 2008 technology requirements to result in capital expenditures totaling
approximately $700,000. We continue to sublease a portion of our headquarters building which
reduces our rent expense by approximately $400,000 annually. A summary of future minimum lease
payments is set forth below and in Note 13 to the consolidated financial statements.
On June 27, 2007, we and our subsidiaries entered into the Fourth Amended and Restated Loan and
Security Agreement, referred to as the revolving credit agreement with Provident Bank. The
maturity date is June 30, 2008. The maximum amount available under the revolving credit agreement
is $10.0 million. As of March 31, 2007, $6.9 million was outstanding under the previous revolving
credit agreement. Amounts outstanding under the new revolving credit agreement will bear interest
at Provident Banks prime rate plus one-quarter percent (0.25%). We will also pay an unused
commitment fee on the difference between the maximum amount we can borrow and the amount advanced,
determined by the average daily amount outstanding during the period. The difference is multiplied
by one-quarter percent (0.25%). This amount is payable on the last day of each quarter until the
revolving credit agreement has been terminated. Additionally, we will pay a fee of $1,000 per
month. Advances under the revolving credit agreement are collateralized by a first priority
security interest on all of our assets as defined in the revolving credit agreement. The interest
rate at March 31, 2007 was 8.5%.
24
The revolving credit agreement contains representations, warranties and covenants that are
customary in connection with a transaction of this type. The revolving credit agreement contains
certain covenants including, but not limited to: (i) maintaining our accounts in a cash collateral
account at Provident Bank, the funds in which accounts we may apply in our discretion against our
obligations owed to Provident Bank, (ii) notifying Provident Bank in writing of any cancellation of
a contract having annual revenues in excess of $250,000, (iii) in the event receivables arise out
of government contracts, we will assign to Provident Bank all government contracts with amounts
payable of $100,000 or greater and in duration of six months or longer, (iv) obtaining written
consent from Provident Bank prior to permitting a change in ownership of more than 25% of the stock
or other equity interests of us and our subsidiaries or permit us or any of such entities to enter
into any merger or consolidation or sell or lease substantially all of our or its assets, (v)
obtaining prior written consent of Provident Bank, subject to exceptions, to make payments of debt
to any person or entity or making any distributions of any kind to any officers, employees or members, and (vi) obtaining written consent from Provident
Bank prior to entering into or amending any contract with IBM or any of its subsidiaries or
affiliates concerning work performed for certain entities. The revolving credit agreement also
contains certain financial covenants which we are required to maintain including, but not limited
to tangible net worth plus subordinated debt of not less than $4.0 million, a current ratio of
greater than 1.4:1, total liabilities to net worth ratio of not greater than 4.0:1, and a debt
service coverage equal to or greater than 1.25:1, as more fully described in the revolving credit
agreement.
Events of default, include, but are not limited to: (i) a determination by Provident Bank that in
its discretion the financial condition of us or any person or entity that generally is now or
hereafter liable, directly, contingently or otherwise obligated to pay Provident Bank under the
revolving credit agreement (Other Obligor) is unsatisfactory, (ii) we or an Other Obligor becomes
insolvent or an involuntary petition for bankruptcy filed against it, (iii) a default under any
indebtedness by us or any other obligor, and (iv) a change in more than 25% of the ownership of us
without the prior written consent of Provident Bank. Upon an event of default, the lender may (i)
accelerate and call immediately due and payable all of the unpaid principal, accrued interest and
other sums due as of the date of default, (ii) impose the default rate of interest with or without
acceleration, (iii) file suit against us or any Other Obligor, (iv) seek specific performance or
injunctive relief to enforce performance of our obligations (v) exercise any rights of a secured
creditor under the Uniform Commercial Code, (vi) cease making advances or extending credit to us
and stop and retract the making of any advances which we may have requested, and (vii) reduce the
maximum amount we are permitted to borrow under the revolving credit agreement. Provident Bank is
also authorized, upon a default, but without prior notice to or demand upon us and without prior
opportunity of us to be heard, to institute an action for replevin, with or without bond as
Provident Bank may elect to obtain possession of any of the collateral.
At March 31, 2007, we were not in compliance with the financial covenants contained in our
revolving credit agreement. We requested and received a waiver from our bank for our
non-compliance with these financial covenants at March 31, 2007 and June 30, 2007. There is no
assurance we will be in compliance in the future or, if not in compliance, that the bank will waive
any future non-compliance with the covenants. We are in process of the completing the review of
alternative sources of financing, which may replace our existing credit facilities if we are unable
to comply with our financial covenants in the future. As a result of the non-compliance with its
covenants and no assurances that the Company will be able to comply with its covenants beyond June
30, 2007, the revolving credit agreement has been reclassified as a current obligation.
We also extended the maturity of our auxiliary line of credit of $1.0 million from July 1, 2007 to
December 31, 2007.
If our customer base were to remain constant, we expect to have approximately $3.0 million
available on our revolving credit agreement through the next twelve months. If we were to obtain a
significant new contract or make contract modifications, our borrowing availability may be less
since we are generally required to invest significant funds in initial start-up situations.
The revolving credit agreement prohibits the payment of dividends or distributions as well as
limits the payment of principal or interest on our subordinated debt, which is not paid until we
obtain a waiver from the bank.
Our subordinated debt agreements with Nancy Scurlock and the Arch C. Scurlock Childrens Trust,
which are our affiliates, totaled $1.0 million in the aggregate at March 31, 2007 and at March 31,
2006. Pursuant to a subordination agreement between Provident Bank and the subordinated debt
holders, principal repayment and interest payable on the subordinated debt agreements may not be
paid without the consent of Provident Bank. On
June 29, 2007 we amended our 8% promissory notes to extend the maturity date to July 1, 2009. All
other terms and conditions on the promissory notes remain the same.
25
If any act of default occurs, the principal and interest due under the 8% promissory notes issued
under the subordinated debt agreement will be due and payable immediately without any action on
behalf of the note holders and if not cured, could trigger cross default provisions under our loan
agreement with Provident Bank. If we do not make a payment of any installment of interest or
principal when it becomes due and payable, we are in default. If we breach or default in the
performance of any covenants contained in the notes and continuance of such breach or default for a
period of 30 days after the notice to us by the note holders or breach or default in any of the
terms of borrowings by us constituting superior indebtedness, unless waived in writing by the
holder of such superior indebtedness within the period provided in such indebtedness not to exceed
30 days, we would be in default on the 8% promissory notes.
Provident Bank approved, and we made payments totaling $50,000 and $100,000, during fiscal years
2007 and 2006, respectively, for accrued interest on the subordinated debt. Interest payable to
the affiliates was approximately $142,000 and $100,000 at March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
The following are our contractual obligations associated with lease commitments, debt obligations
and consulting commitments as of March 31, 2007.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
In connection with a government contract, we act as a conduit in a financing transaction on behalf
of a third party. We routinely transfer receivables to a third party in connection with equipment
sold to end users. The credit risk passes to the third party at the point of sale of the
receivables. Under the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 140,
Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishment of Liabilities,
transfers were accounted for as sales, and as a result, the related receivables have been excluded
from the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The amount paid to us for the receivables by
the transferee is equal to our carrying value and therefore no gain or loss is recognized on these
transfers. The end user remits its monthly payments directly to an escrow account held by a third
party from which payments are made to the transferee and us, for various services provided to the
end users. We provide limited monthly servicing whereby we invoice the end user on behalf of the
transferee. The off-balance sheet transactions had no impact on our liquidity or capital
resources. We are not aware of any event, demand or uncertainty that would likely terminate the
agreement or have an adverse affect on our operations.
26
Application of Critical Accounting Policies
Our financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles that are generally
accepted in the United States. The methods, estimates, and judgments we use in applying our most
critical accounting policies have a significant impact on the results we report in our financial
statements as they affect the updated amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and
related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. The Securities and Exchange Commission
has defined critical accounting policies as policies that involve critical accounting estimates
that require (i) management to make assumptions that are highly uncertain at the time the estimate
is made, and (ii) different estimates that could have been reasonably used for the current period,
or changes in the estimates that are reasonably likely to occur from period to period, which would
have a material impact on the presentation of our financial condition, changes in financial
condition or in results of operations. Based on this definition, our most critical policies
include: revenue recognition, inventory valuation reserves, allowances for doubtful accounts, which
impact cost of sales and gross margin, the assessment of recoverability of goodwill and other
intangible assets, which impact write-offs of goodwill and intangibles, depreciation of property and equipment, and income taxes and the related valuation allowance. We discuss these
policies further below, as well as the estimates and managements judgments involved. We base our
estimates on historical experience and assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the
circumstances, to make judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities not readily
apparent from other sources. We believe that the estimates and judgments generally required by
these policies are not as difficult or subjective and are less likely to have a material impact on
our reported results of operations for a given period.
Revenue Recognition
We recognize service revenues based on contracted fees earned, net of credits and adjustments, as
the service is performed. Revenues from long-term fixed unit-price contracts are recognized monthly
as service is performed based upon the number of units covered and the level of service requested.
The pricing in these contracts is fixed as to the unit price but varies based upon the number of
units covered and service level requested. Revenues from time-and-material professional service
contracts are recognized as services are delivered. Certain seat management contracts include the
delivery and installation of new equipment combined with multi-year service agreements. Revenues
related to the delivery and installation of equipment under these and certain other contracts are
recognized upon the completion of both the delivery and installation. Invoices billed in advance
are recognized as revenues when earned.
Revenues are a function of the mix of long-term services contracts and time-and-material and
professional service contracts. Revenues from time-and-material professional service contracts are
difficult to forecast because of wide fluctuations in demand. The long-term contracts are more
predictable and, as a result, the revenue stream is less difficult to forecast. The gross margins
on long-term contracts vary inversely with the call volume received from customers in any one
reporting period. Our expectation is that we will see continued growth in long-term contracts,
which historically have had higher gross margins, and continued downward pressure on hardware and
software margins.
Provisions for loss contracts, if any, are recognized in the period in which they become
determinable.
Inventory Valuation Reserves
We write down inventory and record obsolescence reserves for estimated excess and obsolete
inventory equal to the cost of inventory and the estimated fair value based upon anticipated future
usage, prior demand, equipment use, current and anticipated contracts and market conditions.
Although we strive to ensure the accuracy of our forecast for inventory usage, a significant
unanticipated change in technology could have a significant impact on the value of our inventory
and our reported value. If actual demand is less than anticipated, or if our prior usage to
support our contracts and anticipated future demand changes, we would be required to record
additional inventory reserves, which would have a negative impact on our gross margins. For the
last three years, our inventory reserve ranged from 12% to 25% of inventory. Based upon our
historical experience, the charge for fiscal year 2008 is budgeted to be approximately $720,000, or
7.0% to 9.0% of inventory. A 1% change in estimate would have an impact on earnings of
approximately $67,000. Due to changes in the mix of equipment that our customers use, economic
uncertainties and the dramatic decreases in the cost for computing equipment, we increased our
reserve for inventory obsolescence. The amount charged to expense for inventory obsolescence was
approximately $960,000 in fiscal year 2007, compared to $318,000 in fiscal year 2006.
27
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
We maintain allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of
our customers to make required payments. We base our estimates on the aging of our accounts
receivable balances and our historical write-off experience, net of recoveries. If the financial
condition of our customers were to deteriorate, additional allowances may be required. We believe
the accounting estimate related to the allowance for doubtful accounts is a critical accounting
estimate because changes in it can significantly affect net income and treatment of the allowance
requires us to anticipate the economic viability of our customers and requires a degree of
judgment. During fiscal year 2007 the amount we recorded as an allowance for bad debt was
approximately $148,000 or 0.3% of our annual revenues. A change in the estimate by 0.1% would have
an impact on earnings of approximately $50,000. Over the past three years bad debts expense
represented approximately 0.2 % to 0.5% of revenues.
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
During our fiscal year ended March 31, 2003, we adopted SFAS No. 141 Business Combinations and
SFAS No. 142 Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. Accordingly we no longer amortize goodwill,
but continue to amortize other acquisition related intangible assets. During fiscal year 2007,
amortization of acquisition related intangibles was $348,000, up from $344,000 in fiscal year 2006.
We assign useful lives for long-lived assets based on periodic studies of actual asset lives and
our intended use for those assets. We assess the impairment of long-lived assets whenever events
or changes in circumstances indicate these carrying values may not be recoverable. Any changes in
these asset lives would be reported in our statement of operations as soon as any change in
estimate is determined.
Our impairment review is based on the applicable valuation methods, including the income and market
approaches. Halifax operates as a single reporting unit for financial reporting purposes. Under
this method, we compare the fair value of the reporting unit to its carrying value inclusive of
goodwill. If the fair value exceeds the carrying value there is no impairment and no further
analysis is necessary. If our revenues and cost forecasts are not achieved, we fail to have
continued profitability and market acceptance, or the market conditions in the stock market cause
the valuation to decline, we may incur charges for impairment of goodwill.
In December 2006, our annual assessment of goodwill and intangible assets was conducted to test for
impairment, and we concluded that there was no impairment.
Property and Equipment
We estimate the useful lives of property and equipment in order to determine the amount of
depreciation and amortization expense to be recorded during any reporting period. The majority of
our equipment is depreciated over three to ten years. The estimated useful lives are based on
historical experience with similar assets as well as taking into account anticipated technological
or other changes. If technological changes were to occur more rapidly than anticipated or in a
different form than anticipated, the useful lives assigned to these assets may need to be
shortened, resulting in the recognition of increased depreciation and amortization in future
periods. We review for impairment annually or when events or circumstances indicate that the
carrying amount may not be recoverable over the remaining lives of the assets. In assessing
impairments, we follow the provisions of SFAS No. 144 Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of
Long-Lived Assets, utilizing cash flows which take into account managements estimates of future
operations.
Income Taxes and Valuation Allowance
Deferred income taxes are provided for the effect of temporary differences between the amounts of
assets and liabilities recognized for financial reporting purposes and the amounts recognized for
income tax purposes. We measure assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates that, if changed,
would result in either an increase or decrease in the provision for income taxes in the period of
change. A valuation allowance is recorded when it is more likely than not that deferred tax assets
will not be realized. In assessing the likelihood of realization, management considers estimates
of future taxable income, the character of income needed to realize future tax benefits, historical
financial results adjusted for non-recurring items and all other available evidence. Management
believes that based on the weight of the evidence, including estimates of future profitability,
that a 100% valuation allowance should be recorded against the deferred tax asset. Note 11 to the
28
consolidated financial statements contains an analysis of our deferred tax assets. Management will
continue to monitor its historical results when adjusted for non-recurring items, estimates of
future profitability and all other evidence to assess the realizability of its net deferred tax
assets based on evolving business conditions. Should management determine it is more likely than
not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will be realized, we would reduce the
valuation allowance.
Results of Operations and Forward Looking Statements
Our other results of operations and other forward looking statements contained herein involve a
number of risks and uncertainties; in particular, plans to cultivate new business, the ability to
expand our footprint, revenues, pricing, gross margins and costs, capital spending, depreciation
and amortization, and potential future impairment of goodwill. In addition to the factors discussed
above, other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially include but are not
limited to the following: business and economic conditions in the areas we serve, possible
disruption in commercial activities related to terrorist activities, reduced end-user purchases
relative to expectations, pricing pressures and excess or obsolete inventory and variations in
inventory value
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In July 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48 (FIN No. 48), Accounting for Uncertainty
in Income Taxes, which prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement process for recording in
the financial statements uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return.
Additionally, FIN No. 48 provides guidance on the derecognition, classification, accounting in
interim periods and disclosure requirements for uncertain tax positions. The accounting provisions
of FIN No. 48 will be effective for our fiscal year beginning April 1, 2007. The Company is in the
process of determining the effect, if any, the adoption of FIN No. 48 will have on its financial
condition or results of operations.
In September 2006, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 157 (SFAS 157), Fair Value Measurements.
SFAS 157 prescribes a single definition of fair value as the price that would be received to sell
an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at
the measurement date. The accounting provisions of SFAS 157 will be effective for the Company
beginning April 1, 2008. The Company does not believe the adoption of SFAS 157 will have a material
impact on its financial condition or results of operations.
In September 2006, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108 (SAB 108). SAB 108 addresses
how the effects of prior year uncorrected misstatements should be considered when quantifying
misstatements in current year financial statements. SAB NO. 108 requires companies to quantify
misstatements using a balance sheet and income statement approach and to evaluate whether either
approach results in quantifying an error that is material in light of relevant quantitative and
qualitative factors. When the effect of initial adoption is material, companies will record the
effect as a cumulative effect adjustment to beginning of year retained earnings. SAB 108 was
effective for the Company beginning March 31, 2007. The adoption SAB 108 did not have a material
impact on our financial condition or results of operations.
Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
We are exposed to changes in interest rates, primarily as a result of bank debt to finance our
business. The floating interest rate exposes us to interest rate risk, with the primary interest
rate exposure resulting from changes in the prime rate. It is assumed in the table below that the
prime rate will remain constant in the future. Adverse changes in the interest rates or our
inability to refinance our long-term obligations may have a material negative impact on our
operations.
The definitive extent of our interest rate risk is not quantifiable or predictable because of the
variability of future interest rates and business financing requirements. We do not believe such
risk is material. We do not customarily use derivative instruments to adjust our interest rate
risk profile.

The information below summarizes our sensitivity to market risks as of March 31, 2007. The table
presents principal cash flows and related interest rates by year of maturity of our funded debt.
Note 6 to the consolidated financial statements contains a description of our debt and should be

At March 31, 2007, we had $9.0 million of debt outstanding, of which $1.2 million bore fixed
interest rates. If interest rates charged to us on our variable rate debt were to increase
significantly, the effect could be materially adverse to our operations.
We conduct a limited amount of business overseas, principally in Western Europe, and in Mexico and
Canada. At present, all transactions are billed and denominated in US dollars and consequently,
we do not currently have any material exposure to foreign exchange rate fluctuation risk.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
Board of Directors and Shareholders
Halifax Corporation
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Halifax Corporation as of March 31,
2007 and 2006, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders equity, and
cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended March 31, 2007. These consolidated
financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys management. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight
Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material
misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform an audit of its
internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control
over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the
circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the
Companys internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An
audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in
the consolidated financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all
material respects, the consolidated financial position of Halifax Corporation as of March 31, 2007
and 2006, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three
years in the period ended March 31, 2007, in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America.
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements as
a whole. Schedule II is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not a required part of
the basic financial statements. The schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied
in the audit of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all
material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

HALIFAX CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEARS ENDED MARCH 31, 2007, 2006 AND 2005
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND BUSINESS ACTIVITY
Business Activity Halifax Corporation (the Company) is incorporated under the laws of
Virginia and provides enterprise maintenance services and solutions for commercial and government
activities. These services include high availability maintenance solutions and technology
deployment and integration. The Company is headquartered in Alexandria, Virginia and has locations
to support its operations located throughout the United States.
Principles of Consolidation The Companys consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. Wholly-owned subsidiaries include
Halifax Engineering, Inc. and Halifax Realty, Inc. All significant intercompany transactions are
eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires 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 revenues and
expenses during the period reported. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Estimates
are used when accounting for certain items such as allowances for doubtful accounts, unbilled
accounts receivable, depreciation and amortization, taxes, inventory reserves, goodwill, and
contingencies.
Accounts Receivable Receivables are attributable to trade receivables in the ordinary
course of business. Allowance for doubtful accounts is provided for estimated losses resulting
from our customers inability to make required payments. (See Note 2.)
The Company routinely transfers receivables to a third party in connection with equipment sold to
end users. The credit risk passes to the third party at the point of sale of the receivables.
Under the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 140, Accounting for
Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishment of Liabilities, transfers were
accounted for as sales and as a result, the related receivables have been excluded from the
accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The amount paid to the Company for the receivables by
the transferee is equal to the carrying value and therefore no gain or loss is recognized on these
transfers. The end user remits its monthly payments directly to an escrow account held by a third
party from which payments are made to the transferee and the Company, for various services provided
to the end users. The Company provides limited monthly servicing whereby the Company invoices the
end user on behalf of the transferee.
Inventory Inventory consists principally of spare computer parts, computer and computer
peripherals consumed on maintenance contracts, and hardware and software held for resale to
customers. All inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market on the first-in first-out
basis. Due to economic uncertainties and the dramatic decreases in the cost for computing
equipment, the Company increased its reserve for inventory obsolescence. The amount charged to
expense for reserve for inventory obsolescence was approximately $960,000 in fiscal year 2007,
compared to $318,000 in fiscal year 2006. These inventories are recorded on the consolidated
balance sheets net of allowances for inventory valuation of $1.2 million and $827,000 at March 31,
2007 and 2006, respectively.
Property and Equipment Property and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated
depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful
lives of:
|
|
|
Machinery and equipment |
|
3-10 years |
Furniture and fixtures |
|
5 years |
Building improvements |
|
5-10 years |
Vehicles |
|
4 years |
The Company evaluates the recoverability of its long-lived assets in accordance with Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived
Assets, (SFAS No. 144). SFAS No. 144 requires recognition of impairment of long-lived assets in
the event that the net book value of such assets exceeds the future undiscounted net cash flows
attributable to such assets. Impairment, if any, is recognized in the period of identification to
the extent the carrying amount of an asset exceeds the fair value of such
asset. Based on its analysis, the Company believes that there was no impairment of its long-lived
assets at March 31, 2007 and 2006.
36
Goodwill and Intangible Assets Goodwill is the excess of the purchase price over the fair
value of the net assets acquired in a business combination. Beginning April 1, 2002, in accordance
with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
(SFAS No.142), goodwill and indefinite-lived assets are no longer amortized, but instead tested for
impairment at least annually (see Note 5). Intangible assets that have finite useful lives are
amortized over their useful lives.
Deferred Maintenance Revenues Deferred maintenance revenues are derived from contracts
for which customers are billed or pay in advance of services to be performed at a future date.
Revenue Recognition Service revenues are derived from contracts with various commercial
enterprises as well as from federal and state agencies. We recognize service revenues based on
contracted fees earned, net of credits and adjustments as the service is performed. Revenues from
long-term fixed unit price contracts are recognized monthly as service is performed based upon the
number of units covered and the level of service requested. The pricing of these contracts is
fixed as to the unit price, but varies based upon the number of units covered and service level
requested. Revenues from time-and-material professional service contracts are recognized as
services are delivered. Certain seat management contracts include the delivery and installation of
new equipment combined with multi-year service agreements. Revenues related to the delivery and
installation of equipment under these, and certain other contracts, are recognized upon the
completion of both the delivery and installation. Product sales were $2.5 million, $3.4 million,
and $2.7 million, with corresponding direct cost of product of $2.3 million, $3.1million, and $2.5
million for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Revenues related
to the fixed-price service agreements are recognized ratably over the life of the agreement.
Invoices billed in advance are recognized as revenues when earned. Total revenues do not include
Sales tax. We consider ourselves as pass-through conduit for collecting and remitting sales tax.
Losses on contracts, if any, are recognized in the period in which they become determinable.
Income Taxes The provision for income taxes is the total of the current year income taxes
due or refundable and the change in deferred tax assets and liabilities. The Company uses the
asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are
recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the
consolidated financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their
respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences,
along with net operating loss carryforwards and credit carryforwards if it is more likely than not
that the tax benefits will be realized. To the extent a deferred tax asset cannot be recognized
under the preceding criteria, a valuation allowance must be established. Deferred tax assets and
liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which those temporary
differences are expected to be recovered or settled.
Stock-Based Compensation In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
(FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123R, Share Based Payment.
SFAS No. 123R addresses the accounting for share-based payment transactions in which an enterprise
receives employee services in exchange for (a) equity instruments of the enterprise or (b)
liabilities that are based on the fair value of the enterprises equity instruments or that may be
settled by the issuance of such equity instruments. SFAS No. 123R requires an entity to recognize
the grant-date fair-value of stock options and other equity-based compensation issued to employees
in the income statement. The revised SFAS No. 123R generally requires that an entity account for
those transactions using the fair-value-based method, and eliminates the intrinsic value method of
accounting in APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, which was permitted
under SFAS No. 123, as originally issued. The revised SFAS No. 123R requires entities to disclose
information about the nature of the share-based payment transactions and the effects of those
transactions on the financial statements. All public companies must use either the modified
prospective or the modified retrospective transition method.
Effective April 1, 2006, the Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 123R using the using the
modified prospective method as prescribed by SFAS No. 123 as amended by SFAS No.148. Due to the use
of the modified prospective method, prior interim periods and fiscal years will not reflect any
restated amounts.
Prior to the adoption of SFAS 123 (R), the Company accounted for equity compensation using the
intrinsic value method prescribed in APB Opinion No. 25 and related interpretations. Accordingly,
compensation expense for stock options was measured as the excess, if any, of the fair market value
of the Companys common stock at the date of the grant over the exercise price of the related
option. Consistent with the provisions of SFAS No. 123 Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,
had compensation cost been determined based on the fair value of awards granted in fiscal years
2006 and 2005, the net income attributable to common shareholders would have been as follows:

Earnings Per Common Share The computation of basic earnings per share is based on the
weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is
based on the weighted average number of shares including adjustments to both net income and shares
outstanding when dilutive, including potential common shares from options and warrants to purchase
common stock using the treasury stock method and effect of the assumed conversion of the Companys
convertible subordinated debt to dilutive common stock equivalents.
Concentration of Risk The Company has a number of significant customers. The Companys
largest customer accounted for 29%, 20% and 20% of the Companys revenues for the years ended March
31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The Companys five largest customers, collectively,
accounted for 60%, 54%, and 65%, of revenues for the years ended March 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005,
respectively. The Company anticipates that significant customer concentrations will continue for
the foreseeable future, although the customers which constitute the Companys largest customers may
change.
Recent Pronouncements
In July 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48 (FIN No. 48), Accounting for Uncertainty
in Income Taxes, which prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement process for recording in
the financial statements uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return.
Additionally, FIN No. 48 provides guidance on the derecognition, classification, accounting in
interim periods and disclosure requirements for uncertain tax positions. The accounting provisions
of FIN No. 48 will be effective for our fiscal year beginning April 1, 2007. The Company is in
the process of determining the effect, if any, the adoption of FIN No. 48 will have on its
financial condition or results of operations.
In September 2006, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 157 (SFAS 157), Fair Value Measurements.
SFAS No. 157 prescribes a single definition of fair value as the price that would be received to
sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants
at the measurement date. The accounting provisions of SFAS No. 157 will be effective for the
Company beginning April 1, 2008. The Company does not believe the adoption of SFAS No.157 will have
a material impact on its financial condition or results of operations.
In September 2006, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108 (SAB No. 108). SAB 108
addresses how the effects of prior year uncorrected misstatements should be considered when
quantifying misstatements in current year financial statements. SAB No. 108 requires companies to
quantify misstatements using a balance sheet and income statement approach and to evaluate whether
either approach results in quantifying an error that is material in light of relevant quantitative
and qualitative factors. When the effect of initial adoption is material, companies will record the
effect as a cumulative effect adjustment to beginning of year retained earnings. SAB 108 was
effective for the Company beginning March 31, 2007. The adoption of SAB 108 did not have a material
impact on our financial condition or results of operations.

For the years ended March 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, depreciation expense was $633,000, $744,000 and
$931,000, respectively. Included in machinery and equipment is equipment under a capital lease
totaling approximately $149,000, net of accumulated amortization of $37,000.
4. ACQUISITIONS
Purchase of Contract
On December 1, 2005, the Company purchased a services contract for $330,000 from Technical
Services and Support, Inc., (TSSI). In addition, the Company hired certain employees and
subcontractors of TSSI. The entire cost was allocated to contract rights. The contract has a term
of fifty-four months and the contract rights are being amortized over the remaining life of the
contract.
Prepaid Acquisition Costs
The Company has capitalized certain fees related to mergers and acquisitions. These fees include
costs directly related to acquisition activity, primarily investment advisory services of
approximately $152,000, which is recorded as a prepaid expense on our balance sheet at March 31,
2007. These costs will be included in the cost of the acquired entity. The Company periodically
reviews the status of its acquisition activity and upon determining that is not likely successful
an acquisition will occur it would expense this amount to operating expense.

Actual amortization expense to be reported in future periods could differ from these estimates as
a result of new intangible asset acquisitions and other relevant factors.
In December 2006, the company performed its annual assessment of goodwill and intangible assets to
test for impairment in accordance with SFAS No. 142, and concluded that there was no impairment.

The Company was not in compliance with the financial covenants of its revolving credit agreement at
March 31, 2007. The Company requested and received a waiver of the non-compliance with the
financial covenants as of March 31, 2007 and June 30, 2007. As a result of the non-compliance with
its covenants and no assurances that the Company will be able to comply with its covenants beyond
June 30, 2007, the revolving credit agreement has been reclassified as a current obligation.
Minimum future principal payments on long-term debt are as follows:

The carrying value of the revolving credit agreement and the auxiliary line of create approximate
fair market value at March 31, 2007. Because the $1 million in subordinated notes with an interest
rate of 8% are with a related party, it was not practicable to estimate the effect of subjective
risk factors, which might influence the value of the debt. The most significant of these risk
factors include the subordination of the debt and the lack of collateralization.

8. STOCKBASED COMPENSATION
On September 9, 2005, the shareholders approved the 2005 Stock Option and Stock Incentive Plan
(2005 Plan). Under the 2005 Plan 260,000 shares of Common Stock were reserved for issuance upon
the exercise of option awards or awards of restricted stock granted. Of that amount, 60,000 are
reserved for issuance exclusively to directors of the Company and 200,000 are reserved for issuance
exclusively to officers, key employees and important consultants to the Company. This number is
subject to adjustment in the event of stock splits, stock dividends or other recapitalization of
the Companys common stock. The vesting of the awards will be set by the Compensation and
Employee Benefits Committee at the time of the award.
On September 16, 1994, the shareholders approved the Key Employee Stock Option Plan (1994 Plan).
Options expire five to ten years after the date of grant. The maximum number of shares of the
Companys common stock subject to the 1994 Plan and approved for issuance was originally 280,000
shares either authorized and unissued or shares held in treasury. This number is subject to
adjustment in the event of stock splits, stock dividends or other recapitalization of the Companys
common stock. On March 2, 2000, the shareholders approved amendments to the 1994 Plan which
increased the number of shares available for issuance to 400,000 shares.
Stock-based incentive awards granted under the 1994 Plan prior to March 31, 2001 were stock options
with 5 year terms with cliff vesting after four years. Employee stock options granted subsequent to
March 31, 2001 were stock options with 10 year terms which vest monthly over a four year period
following the completion of one year of service from the date of grant. Upon separation from the
Company, former employees have 90 days to exercise vested options. The 1994 Plan expired on
September 15, 2004.
On September 14, 1997, shareholders approved the Non-Employee Director Stock Option Plan (1997
Plan). The maximum number of shares of the Companys common stock subject to the 1997 Plan and
approved for issuance was originally 100,000 shares either authorized and unissued or shares held
in treasury. The initial stock-based incentive awards granted under the 1997 Non-Employee Directors
Stock Option Plan to a director upon joining the Companys Board of Directors are stock options
with 10 year terms and vesting monthly over five years. Subsequent grants to directors for annual
service are stock options with 10 year terms and vest monthly over one year. The 1997 plan expired
on September 18, 2004.
The exercise prices of all options awarded in all years, under all plans, were equal to the market
price of the stock on the date of grant. The Company granted options to purchase 69,500 shares of
the Companys common stock during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007. The stock compensation
expense recognized during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007 was approximately $30,000. As of
March 31, 2007, the total remaining unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested options
was approximately $140,000, which will be recognized over the next four years.
42
The fair value of each of the Companys option grants is estimated on the date of grant using the
Black-Scholes option pricing model, based on the following assumptions for the fiscal years ended
March 31, 2007,2006 and 2005: risk-free interest rate of 4.94% ,4.59 %, and 2.63% respectively,
dividend yield of 0%, 0% and 0% respectively, volatility factor related to the expected market
price of the Companys common stock of 48.99%, 28.5%, and 36.25%, respectively, and
weighted-average expected option life of one to ten years. The weighted average fair value of
options granted during fiscal 2007, 2006, and 2005 were $1.62, $1.15, and $1.43, respectively.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities on the balance sheets reflect the net tax effect of temporary
differences between carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial statement purposes and
the amounts used for income tax purposes. The deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified
on the balance sheets as current or non-current based on the classification of the related assets
and liabilities.
Management regularly evaluates the realizability of its deferred tax assets given the nature of its
operations and the tax jurisdictions in which it operates. The Company adjusts its valuation
allowance from time to time based on such evaluations. Based upon its managements evaluation of
its deferred tax asset and its historical losses from continuing operations for the past three
years, the Company determined that it was necessary to record a full valuation allowance.
Accordingly, the Company recorded a charge to income tax expense of $2.2 million to reduce its
deferred tax asset to zero.
As a result of the sale of the secure network services business completed on June 30, 2005, and
other operations during fiscal year 2006 the Company utilized approximately $6.5 million of the net
operating loss carry forward during that period.
The Company has approximately $2.8 million of net operating loss carryforwards, which expire in
fiscal years 2019 through 2027 and alternative minimum tax credit of $219,000.
The differences between the provision for income taxes at the expected statutory rate of 34% for
continuing operations and those shown in the consolidated statements of operations are as follows

The Company subleases a portion of its office space. The minimum sublease rental income is
estimated to be approximately $383,000, $307,000 and $96,000 for fiscal years 2008 2009 and 2010,
respectively.
Deferred income of $159,000 and $218,000 at March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively, represents the
deferred gain on the sale lease-back of the Companys office complex. The deferred income is
being recognized as a reduction of rent expense over the remaining life of the lease.
Total rent expense under operating leases was $1.1 million, $1.3 million, and $1.1 million for the
fiscal years ended March 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The Company sold its office
complex on November 6, 1997 and leased back its headquarters building for 12 years. Aggregate
future minimum rentals to be received under non-cancelable subleases as of March 31, 2007 was
approximately $786,000.
14. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
As of March 31, 2007, Nancy Scurlock and the Arch C. Scurlock Childrens Trust, which are
affiliates, are the beneficial owners of 784,422 shares, or 27% of the Companys common stock and
hold, $500,000 and $500,000 face amount of the Companys 8% Promissory Notes dated November 2, 1998
and November 5, 1998, respectively. Interest expense on the subordinated debt totaled $80,000 for
fiscal year 2007, and $33,000 for fiscal year 2006. During fiscal year 2007, after receiving
consent from our bank, the Company paid $50,000 of accrued interest on the subordinated debt . The
principal amount outstanding under the subordinated notes was $1.0 million at March 31, 2007. In
addition, the maturity date of the notes was extended to July1, 2009. (See Note 6).
15. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
On June 30, 2005, the Company simultaneously entered into and closed on an asset purchase agreement
(the Agreement) with INDUS Corporation (Indus), pursuant to which we sold substantially all of
the assets and certain liabilities of our secure network business. The purchase price was
approximately $12.5 million, subject to
adjustments as provided in the Agreement, based on the net assets of the business on the closing
date. The Agreement also
provided that $3.0 million of the purchase price was held in escrow (the Escrow). The terms of
the Agreement, including the Escrow, are as set forth in the Form 8-K filed with the SEC on July 1,
2005, as amended on Form 8-K/A, on July 7, 2005.
46
Pursuant to the Escrow, on July 8, 2005, the Company received $1,000,000 and on January 26, 2006,
it received $1,375,000. On or about December 31, 2006, an additional $625,000 from escrow, which
was being held as security in escrow for our indemnification obligations under the Agreement, was
to be disbursed to the Company. However, on December 28, 2006, the Company received a Notice of
Claim from Indus, pursuant to which Indus alleged various breaches of certain representations and
warranties in the Agreement by us. Indus takes the position that these alleged breaches entitle
Indus to indemnification. As a result, Indus further takes the position that the entire amount
remaining in Escrow which totaled $625,000, plus interest of approximately $48,000, should be
disbursed to Indus. The total amount of $673,000 held in escrow is recorded as restricted cash on
the accompanying financial statements. The Company delivered a Response Notice to the escrow agent
and Indus disputing the claims of Indus set forth in its Notice of Claim. The Company believes the
claim is without merit. On June 26, 2007 the Company filed a complaint against Indus in the
Virginia Circuit Court requesting a declaratory judgment, and other relief, including a demand that
Indus withdraw its claim and disburse the funds in escrow in order to resolve the matter. No
adjustment to the accompanying financial statements has been made related to this matter.
From time to time, the Company is engaged in ordinary routine litigation incidental to our business
to which it is a party. While the Company cannot predict the ultimate outcome of these matters, or
other routine litigation matters, it is managements opinion that the resolution of these matters
should not have a material effect on our financial position or results of operations.

Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial
Disclosure
None.
Item 9A. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of the Companys Disclosure Controls and Procedures and Internal Control and Financial
reporting. The Company evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure
controls and procedures as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended (the Act), as of the end of the period covered by this Form 10-K (Disclosure Controls).
This evaluation (Disclosure Controls Evaluation) was done under the supervision and with the
participation of management, including the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chief Financial
Officer (CFO).
Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls. Control systems, no matter how well conceived and
operated, are designed to provide a reasonable, but not an absolute, level of assurance that the
objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the
fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative
to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of
controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any,
within the Company have been detected. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective
control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. The Company
conducts periodic evaluation of its internal controls to enhance, where necessary, its procedures
and controls.
Conclusions. As a part of the audit process, the Company has determined that control deficiencies
in its internal control over financial reporting that existed as of March 31, 2007 constitute a
material weakness within the meaning of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Boards (PCAOB)
Auditing Standard No. 2. This material weakness in internal control over financial reporting was
related to income tax reporting as a result of the lack of qualified personnel to properly review
and administer the Companys tax matters. Such material weakness was identified, and because
management considers its internal controls over financial reporting to intersect with its
disclosure controls, the Companys CEO and CFO concluded that the Companys disclosure controls and
procedures were not effective as of March 31, 2007 in reaching a reasonable level of assurance that
(i) information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits
under the Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in
the Securities and Exchange Commissions rules and forms and (ii) information required to be
disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Act is accumulated and
communicated to the Companys management, including its principal executive and principal financial
officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions
regarding required disclosure.
There was no change in internal controls over financial reporting as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of
the Act that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially over the Companys
internal control over financial reporting. As a result of the material weakness described above,
however, management is considering the retention of additional accounting staff or outside
consultants to assist in the area of income tax reporting.
Item 9B. Other Information
None.
