Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per common share (EPS) is computed by dividing earningsnet income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the periods. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution of common stock equivalent shares that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock.

The Company’s dilutive common stock equivalent shares consist of stock options, non-vestedrestricted stock units, and warrants to purchase shares of common stock computed under the treasury stock method, using the average market price during the period. The following table presents instruments which were not dilutive and were excluded from the computation of diluted EPS in each period, as well as the dilutive common stock equivalent shares which were included in the computation of diluted EPS:

The Company adopted SFAS No. 123R on January 1, 2006, using the Modified Prospective Application method without restatement of prior periods. Under this method, the Company began to amortize compensation cost for the remaining portion of its outstanding awards for which the requisite service was not yet rendered as of January 1, 2006. Compensation cost is based on the fair value of those awards as previously disclosed on a pro forma basis under SFAS No. 123.  The Company determinesof the fair value of and accounts for awards that are granted, modified, or settled after January 1, 2006 in accordance with SFAS No. 123R.grant date.

The Company estimates the fair value of its stock options on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The Company estimates the expected term of stock options granted taking into consideration historical data related to stock option exercises. The Company also uses historical data in order to estimate the volatility factor for a period equal to the duration of the expected life of stock options granted. The Company believes that the use of historical data to estimate these factors provides a reasonable basis for these assumptions. The risk-free interest rate for the periods within the expected life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. No stock options were granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2006.

 (4)                  Short-Term Borrowings

General Physics has a $25 million Financing and Security Agreement, as amended on August 6, 2007 (the ”Credit“Credit Agreement”), as amended, with a bank that expires on August 12, 200731, 2009 with annual renewal options. The Credit Agreement is secured by certain assets of General Physics and provides for an unsecured guaranty from the Company. The Company continued to guarantee GSE’s borrowings under
The maximum interest rate on the Credit Agreement (for which $1,500,000 was allocated for use by GSE) subsequent to the spin-off on September 30, 2005. In March 2006, GSE repaid its borrowings in full and ceased to be a borrower under the Credit Agreement. As a result, the Company’s guarantee of GSE’s borrowings was terminated.

The interest rate under the Credit Agreement is at the daily LIBOR market index rate plus 3.0%2.75%. Based upon the financial performance of General Physics, the interest rate can be reduced. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2006,2007, the rate was LIBOR plus 2.5%2.50%, which resulted in a rate of approximately 7.8%. The Credit Agreement contains covenants with respect to General Physics’ minimum tangible net worth, total liabilities ratio, leverage ratio, interest coverage ratio and its ability to make capital expenditures. General Physics was in compliance with all loan covenants under the Credit Agreement as of September 30, 2006.

(12)              Litigation

In November 2005, the Company settled its remaining fraud claims against Electronic Data Systems Corporation (EDS)EDS and Systemhouse in connection with the Company’s 1998 acquisition of Learning Technologies. Pursuant to the settlement, EDS made a cash payment to the Company in the amount of $9,000,000 in December 2005. The Company recognized a gain on the litigation settlement, net of legal fees and expenses, of approximately $5,552,000 in the fourth quarter of 2005. In accordance with a spin-off agreement with NPDC, the Company made an additional capital contribution to NPDC forof approximately $1,201,000 of the settlement proceeds, which was accounted for as a component of the net assets distributed to NPDC in connection with the spin-off, through a reduction of additional paid-in capital in 2005.  The Company did not transfer cash to NPDC for this additional capital contribution, but instead is offsetting the management fee charges due from NPDC against the payable to NPDC (see Note 10).  As of September 30, 2006, the Company has a remaining payable to NPDC of $476,000 for this additional capital contribution, which is included in accounts payable and accrued expenses on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

proceeds.

The Company’s original fraud action included MCI Communications Corporation (MCI) as a defendant. The fraud action against MCI had been stayed as a result of MCI’s bankruptcy filing in 2002, and the Company’s claims against MCI were not tried or settled with the claims against EDS and Systemhouse. On December 13, 2005, the Bankruptcy Court heard arguments on a summary judgment motion that MCI had made before filing for bankruptcy. On September 12, 2006, the Bankruptcy Court asked the parties to submit further briefs concerning whether the summary judgment motion should be decided based on the standard applicable to such motions under state or federal law. A decision on the motion for summary judgment has not been issued. Pursuant to the spin-off agreement with NPDC, the Company will contribute to NPDC 50% of any proceeds received, net of legal fees and taxes, with respect to the litigation claims.


The Company is not a party to any legal proceeding, the outcome of which is believed by management to have a reasonable likelihood of having a material adverse effect upon the financial condition and operating results of the Company.

(13)              Accounting Standards Issued

In July 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes — an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (FIN 48).  FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition of a tax position taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. Under FIN 48, a tax benefit from an uncertain tax position may be recognized only if it is “more likely than not” that the position is sustainable upon examination, based on its technical merits. The tax benefit of a qualifying position under FIN 48 would equal the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement with a taxing authority having full knowledge of all relevant information.  FIN 48 will be effective as of January 1, 2007 for calendar-year companies.  In applying the new accounting model prescribed by FIN 48, companies will need to determine and assess all material positions existing as of the adoption date, including all significant uncertain positions, in all tax years, that are still subject to assessment or challenge under relevant tax statutes. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this new accounting standard on its consolidated financial statements.

In September 2006, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108, Considering the Effects

Subsequent Event
In August 2007, the Company’s Board of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying MisstatementsDirectors authorized the Company to repurchase up to an additional $5 million of its common stock in Current Year Financial Statements (SAB No. 108). SAB No. 108 addresses how the effects of prior year uncorrected misstatements should be considered when quantifying misstatementsopen market under the buyback program which was previously authorized and announced 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. The Company is required to adopt SAB No. 108 for its annual financial statements for the fiscal year ending December 31,January 2006. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of SAB No. 108, but at this time does not expect its adoption to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements for its fiscal year ending December 31, 2006.

In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS No. 157), which defines fair value, establishes guidelines for measuring fair value and expands disclosures regarding fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 does not require any new fair value measurements but rather eliminates inconsistencies in guidance found in various prior accounting pronouncements. SFAS No. 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, with earlier adoption permitted.  The Company is currently evaluating the impact of SFAS No. 157, but at this time does not expect its adoption to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In addition, at any time that less than $1,875,000 million principal amount of the Gabelli Notes is outstanding, the Company may defease the obligations secured by the mortgage and obtain a release of the mortgage. Subsequent to the spin-offs of NPDC and GSE Systems, Inc. and in accordance with the anti-dilution provisions of the warrant agreement, the number of GP Warrants was adjusted to 984,116 and the exercise price was adjusted to $5.85 per share. During the nine monthsyear ended September 30,December 31, 2006, Gabelli exercised 109,376197,823 GP Warrants for a total exercise price of $640,000$1,157,000, which was paid in the form of $140,000 cash and delivery of $500,000$1,017,000 of the Gabelli Notes.Notes and accrued interest thereon. During the six months ended June 30, 2007, Gabelli Funds exercised an additional 624,862 GP Warrants for a total exercise price of $3,655,000 which was paid in the form of delivery of the Gabelli Notes and accrued interest thereon. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2006,2007, there were 874,740161,431 GP Warrants with an exercise price of $5.85 per share outstanding and exercisable.

In October 2003, the Company issued a five-year 5% note due in full in October 2008 in the principal amount of $5,250,955 to ManTech International (ManTech). Interest is payable quarterly. Each year during the term of the note, ManTech has the option to convert up to 20% of the original principal amount of the note into Common Stockcommon stock of the Company at the then market price of the Company’s Common Stock,common stock, but only in the event that the Company’s Common Stockcommon stock is trading at $10 per share or more. In the event that less than 20% of the principal amount of the note is not converted in any year, such amount not converted will be eligible for conversion in each subsequent year until converted or until the note is repaid in cash.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements - Guarantees
Subsequent to the spin-off of NPDC, the Company continued to guarantee certain obligations of NPDC’s subsidiaries, Five Star Products, Inc. (“Five Star”) and MXL Industries, Inc. (“MXL”). The Company guaranteed certain operating leases for Five Star’s New Jersey and Connecticut warehouses, totaling approximately $1,589,000 per year through March 31, 2007. The leases have been extended and now expire in the first quarter of 2009. The annual rent obligations are currently approximately $1,600,000. In connection with the spin-off of NPDC by the Company, NPDC agreed to assume the Company’s obligation under such guarantees, to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Company to be released from each such guaranty, and to hold the Company harmless from all claims, expenses and liabilities connected with the leases or NPDC’s breach of any agreements effecting the spin-off. The Company has not received confirmation that it has been released from these guarantees.
The Company also guarantees the repayment of a debt obligation of MXL, which is secured by property and certain equipment of MXL. The aggregate outstanding balance of MXL’s debt obligation as of June 30, 2007 was $1,055,000. The Company’s guarantee expires upon the maturity of the debt obligation in March 2011.
Management Discussion of Critical Accounting Standards IssuedPolicies

The preparation of our consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Our estimates, judgments and assumptions are continually evaluated based on available information and experience. Because of the use of estimates inherent in the financial reporting process, actual results could differ from those estimates.
29

Certain of our accounting policies require higher degrees of judgment than others in their application. These include revenue recognition, impairment of intangible assets, including goodwill, and valuation of deferred tax assets. We discuss our accounting policies for impairment of intangible assets and valuation of deferred tax assets in Note 2 to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006. As a result of the acquisition of Sandy during the first quarter of 2007, we have updated our accounting policy with respect to revenue recognition below.
Revenue Recognition
The Company provides services under time-and-materials, cost-reimbursable, fixed-price and fixed-fee per transaction contracts to both government and commercial customers. Each contract has different terms based on the scope, deliverables and complexity of the engagement, requiring the Company to make judgments and estimates about recognizing revenue. Revenue is recognized as services are performed.
Under time-and-materials contracts, as well as certain government cost-reimbursable and certain fixed-price contracts, the contractual billing schedules are based on the specified level of resources the Company is obligated to provide. As a result, for these “level-of-effort” contracts, the contractual billing amount for the period is a measure of performance and, therefore, revenue is recognized in that amount.
Revenue under government fixed price and certain commercial contracts is recognized using the percentage of completion method in accordance with the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Statement of Position 81-1, Accounting for Performance of Construction-Type and Certain Production-Type Contracts. Under the percentage-of-completion method, management estimates the percentage-of-completion based upon costs incurred as a percentage of the total estimated costs. When total cost estimates exceed revenues, the estimated losses are recognized immediately. The use of the percentage-of-completion method requires significant judgment relative to estimating total contract revenues and costs, including assumptions relative to the length of time to complete the project, the nature and complexity of the work to be performed, and anticipated changes in estimated salaries and other costs. Estimates of total contract revenues and costs are continuously monitored during the term of the contract, and recorded revenues and costs are subject to revision as the contract progresses. When revisions in estimated contract revenues and costs are determined, such adjustments are recorded in the period in which they are first identified.
For certain commercial fixed-fee per transaction contracts, revenue is recognized during the period in which services are delivered in accordance with the pricing outlined in the contracts. For other commercial fixed price contracts which typically involve a discrete project, such as development of training content and materials, design of training processes, software implementation, or engineering projects, the contractual billing schedules are not based on the specified level of resources the Company is obligated to provide. These discrete projects generally do not contain milestones or other reliable measures of performance. As a result, revenue on these arrangements is recognized using the percentage-of-completion method based on the relationship of costs incurred to total estimated costs expected to be incurred over the term of the contract. The Company believes this methodology is a reasonable measure of proportional performance since performance primarily involves personnel costs and services are provided to the customer throughout the course of the projects through regular communications of progress toward completion and other project deliverables. In addition, the customer typically is required to pay the Company for the proportionate amount of work and cost incurred in the event of contract termination.
For certain fixed-fee per transaction and fixed price contracts in which the output of the arrangement is measurable, such as for the shipping of publications and print materials, revenue is recognized when the deliverable is met and the product is delivered based on the output method of performance. The customer is required to pay for the cost incurred in the event of contract termination.
30

Certain of the Company’s fixed price commercial contracts contain revenue arrangements with multiple deliverables. The Company applies the separation guidance in Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) 00-21, Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables (EITF 00-21), for these types of contracts. Revenue arrangements with multiple deliverables are evaluated to determine if the deliverables can be divided into more than one unit of accounting. For contracts determined to have more than one unit of accounting, the Company recognizes revenue for each deliverable based on the revenue recognition policies discussed above; that is, the Company recognizes revenue in accordance with work performed and costs incurred, with fee being allocated proportionately over the service period. Within each multiple deliverable project, there is objective and reliable fair value across all units of the arrangement, as discounts are not offered or applied to one deliverable versus another, and the rates bid across all deliverables are consistent.

As part of the Company’s on-going operations to provide services to its customers, incidental expenses, which are commonly referred to as “out-of-pocket” expenses, are billed to customers, either directly as a pass-through cost or indirectly as a cost estimated in proposing on fixed-price contracts. Out-of-pocket expenses include expenses such as airfare, mileage, hotel stays, out-of-town meals and telecommunication charges. The Company’s policy provides for these expenses to be recorded as both revenue and direct cost of services in accordance with the provisions of EITF 01-14, Income Statement Characterization of Reimbursements Received for “Out-of-Pocket” Expenses Incurred.
In connection with its delivery of products, primarily for publications delivered by the Sandy Sales Training & Marketing segment, the Company incurs shipping and handling costs which are billed to customers directly as a pass-through cost. The Company’s policy provides for these expenses to be recorded as both revenue and direct cost of revenue in accordance with the provisions of EITF 00-10, Accounting for Shipping and Handling Fees and Costs.
Accounting Standard Adopted
In July 2006, the FASBFinancial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (FIN No. 48). FIN No. 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition of a tax position taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. Under FIN No. 48, a tax benefit from an uncertain tax position may be recognized only if it is “more likely than not” that the position is sustainable upon examination, based on its technical merits. The tax benefit of a qualifying position under FIN No. 48 would equal the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement with a taxing authority having full knowledge of all relevant information. FIN No. 48 will bewas effective as of January 1, 2007 for calendar-year companies. In applying the new accounting model prescribed by FIN No. 48, companies will needthe Company was required to determine and assess all material positions existing as of the adoption date, including all significant uncertain positions, in all tax years, that are still subject to assessment or challenge under relevant tax statutes. The Company is currently evaluatingadopted FIN No. 48 effective January 1, 2007. See Note 10 to the impact of adopting this new accounting standard on its consolidated financial statements.

In September 2006, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108, Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements (SAB No. 108). SAB No. 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. The Company is required to adopt SAB No. 108 for its annual financial statements for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2006. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of SAB No. 108, but at this time does not expect its adoption to have a material impact on itsaccompanying condensed consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2006.

In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS No. 157), which defines fair value, establishes guidelines for measuring fair value and expands disclosuresfurther details regarding fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 does not require any new fair value measurements but rather eliminates inconsistencies in guidance found in various prior accounting pronouncements. SFAS No. 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, with earlier


adoption permitted.  The Company is currently evaluating the impact of SFASadoption of FIN No. 157, but at this time does not expect its adoption to have a material impact48 on itsthe Company’s consolidated financial statements.


Accounting Standard Adopted

In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123R, Share-Based Payment, which revises SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, and supersedes Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and requires companies to recognize compensation expense for all equity-based compensation awards issued to employees that are expected to vest. The Company adopted SFAS No. 123R on January 1, 2006, using the Modified Prospective Application method without restatement of prior periods. Under this method, the Company began to amortize compensation cost for the remaining portion of its outstanding awards for which the requisite service was not yet rendered as of January 1, 2006. Compensation cost for these awards is based on the fair value of those awards as previously disclosed on a pro forma basis under SFAS No. 123.  The Company will determine the fair value of and account for awards that are granted, modified, or settled after January 1, 2006 in accordance with SFAS No. 123R.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006, the Company recognized $90,000 and $400,000, respectively, of pre-tax stock-based compensation expense under the fair value method in accordance with SFAS No. 123R. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006, the Company recognized a deferred income tax benefit of $32,000 and $151,000, respectively, associated with the compensation expense recognized for these awards. As of September 30, 2006, the Company had $34,000 of unrecognized compensation related to the unvested portion of outstanding stock options awards expected to be recognized through July 2007.  As of September 30, 2006, the Company had unrecognized compensation cost of $923,000 related to the unvested portion of its outstanding stock units expected to be recognized over a weighted average remaining service period of 3.2 years.

Forward-Looking Statements

The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a “safe harbor” for forward lookingforward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are not statements of historical facts, but rather reflect our current expectations concerning future events and results. We use words such as “expects”, “intends”, “believes”, “may”, “will”“will,” “should,” “could,” “anticipates” and “anticipates”similar expressions to indicate forward-looking statements.statements, but their absence does not mean a statement is not forward-looking. Because these forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, there are important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements, including, but not limited to, those factors set forth under Item 1A - Risk Factors of the Company’s 2005 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006 and those other risks and uncertainties detailed in the Company’s periodic reports and registration statements filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. We caution that these risk factors may not be exhaustive. We operate in a continually changing business environment, and new risk factors emerge from time to time. We cannot predict these new risk factors, nor can we assess the effect, if any, of the new risk factors on our business or the extent to which any factor or combination of factors may cause actual results to differ from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements.

If any one or more of these expectations and assumptions proves incorrect, actual results will likely differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements. Even if all of the foregoing assumptions and expectations prove correct, actual results may still differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements as a result of factors we may not anticipate or that may be beyond our control. While


we cannot assess the future impact that any of these differences could have on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows or the market price of shares of our common stock, the differences could be significant. We do not undertake to update any forward-looking statements made by us, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. You are cautioned not to unduly rely on such forward-looking statements when evaluating the information presented in this report.

Controls and Procedures
Item 4.Disclosure Controls and Procedures


We carried out an evaluation,maintain a comprehensive set of disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”)) designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our filings under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported accurately and within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, ofwe have evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13-15(b)as of the Securities Exchange Actend of 1934, as amended.the period covered by this report. Based upon thatthis evaluation, and the material weakness described below, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’sdesign and operation of these disclosure controls and procedures were notare effective asin providing reasonable assurance of the date covered by this report.

As discussed more fully in Item 9A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K dated March 16, 2006, for the year ended December 31, 2005, in connection with our audit of our consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005, we determined that the Company’s account reconciliation and management review controls over the accounting for income taxes were not operating effectively becauseachievement of the lack of adequate tax accounting expertise as of December 31, 2005objectives described above.


Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.  As a result,

During the six months ended June 30, 2007, there was a material misstatementno change in the Company’s income tax provision that was corrected prior to the issuance of the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2005.

Based on the material weakness described above, management concluded that the Company’sour internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2005.  This assessmentthat has materially affected, or is based on management’s conclusion that as of December 31, 2005, there was more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements would not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by Company employees in the normal course of performing their assigned functions.

As a result, we implemented changes in certain ofreasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controlscontrol over financial reporting during the nine months ended September 30, 2006, as follows:

reporting.

32


·                  The Company has, subsequent to December 31, 2005, continued to revise its processes and procedures over the accounting for income taxes.

·                  The Company hired a new Director of Tax on December 31, 2005 who we believe will provide the Company with the necessary technical skills to perform, review and analyze complex tax accounting activities.

We believe these improvements in our internal controls will enable us to remediate the material weakness; however, such determination will not occur until these additional controls have been in place for a period of time sufficient to demonstrate that the controls are operating effectively.  We will continue to evaluate the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures and our internal controls over financial reporting on an ongoing basis, and will take further action as appropriate.  However, there can be no assurance that our controls and procedures will prevent or detect material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements.
