Exhibit 99.1

Independent Auditor's Report

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
Gichner Holdings, Inc. and Subsidiaries

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Gichner Holdings, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2009 and 2008 and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the years then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes 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 Gichner Holdings, Inc. and Subsidiaries at December 31, 2009 and 2008 and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

As described in Note 12 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company adopted a new accounting standard for accounting for uncertainty in income taxes as of January 1, 2009.

Gichner Holdings, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2009 and 2008

Note 1—Nature of Business and Significant Accounting Policies

Gichner Holdings, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the "Company") design, manufacture, and integrate tactical shelters and intermodal equipment for military and commercial applications. The Company operates primarily in Dallastown, Pennsylvania and Charleston, South Carolina.

Principles of Consolidation—The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Gichner Holdings, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Dallastown Realty I, LLC (including its wholly owned subsidiary, Dallastown Realty II, LLC) and Gichner Systems Group, Inc. (including its wholly owned subsidiaries, Gichner Systems International, Inc. and Charleston Marine Containers, Inc.) All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Cash and Cash Equivalents—The Company considers all investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.

Trade Accounts Receivable—Accounts receivable are stated at net invoice amounts. An allowance for doubtful accounts is established based on a specific assessment of all invoices that remain unpaid following normal customer payment periods. In addition, a general valuation allowance is established for other accounts receivable based on historical loss experience. All amounts deemed to be uncollectible are charged against the allowance for doubtful accounts in the period that determination is made. The allowance for doubtful accounts as of December 31, 2009 and 2008 was $49,000 and $45,000, respectively.

Major Customers—Sales are predominantly to various agencies and military branches of the United States government and to government contractors. The Company extends trade credit to its customers on terms that are generally practiced in the industry. Three major customers, one of which is the United States Army, accounted for approximately 40 percent and 70 percent of net sales for 2009 and 2008, respectively. These same customers accounted for approximately 40 percent of accounts receivable at December 31, 2009 and 2008.

Inventory—Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market using the average cost method of inventory costing. For certain contracts, progress billings to customers are recorded as a contra inventory when paid.

Property and Equipment—Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Costs of maintenance and repairs are charged to expense when incurred.

Goodwill—The recorded amounts of goodwill from prior business combinations are based on management's best estimates of the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition. Goodwill is not amortized, but rather is assessed at least on an annual basis for impairment. There were no impairment charges or other changes in goodwill recognized in 2009 or 2008. It is reasonably possible that management's estimates of the carrying amount of goodwill will change in the near term.

Intangible Assets—Acquired intangible assets subject to amortization are stated at cost and are amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Intangible assets that are subject to amortization are reviewed for potential impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that carrying amounts may not be recoverable. Assets not subject to amortization are tested for impairment at least annually.

Restricted Cash—The Company maintains escrow accounts to secure the payment of any claim, including contingent environmental liabilities, or breach of contract related to its recent business

acquisitions. These agreements expire through August 2010. Restricted cash held in these escrow accounts approximated $534,000 and $605,000 at December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively, and the Company has recorded an offsetting liability within accrued and other liabilities for the respective amounts at December 31, 2009 and 2008 (see Note 11).

Deferred Finance Costs—Deferred financing costs of approximately $542,000 are being amortized over the terms of the related debt agreements using the straight-line method. Accumulated amortization of these costs was approximately $232,000 and $134,000 at December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Warranties—The Company records a liability for estimated costs to be incurred under its limited warranty policy when revenue is recognized. The warranty reserve is estimated based upon number of units sold and the Company's historical and anticipated rates of claims.

Revenues and Cost Recognition—The Company provides contract services under time-and-material, cost-plus-fixed-fee, and fixed-price contracts relating to the manufacture of products. Revenue is recorded at the time services are completed or when products are shipped. For long-term contracts, revenues are recorded on the percentage-of-completion method. Revenues and gross profit are recognized as work is performed, primarily at the time deliveries are made or accepted, or based on the relationship between actual costs incurred and total estimated costs at completion. Revenues and gross profits are adjusted prospectively for revisions in estimated total contract costs and contract values. Estimated losses are recorded when identified.

Differences between recorded costs and estimated earnings and final billings are recognized in the period in which they become determinable. Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts are recorded as a current asset. Billings in excess of costs on uncompleted contracts are recorded as current liabilities. Generally, contracts provide for the billing of costs incurred and estimated earnings either periodically or based on certain milestones achieved. Additionally, unbilled receivables represent costs incurred that have been earned but not yet billed and collected from the customer. Billings are prepared in accordance with terms of the customer agreement.

Due to inherent limitations in the estimation process, including changes in job performance, job conditions, and estimated profitability, it is at least reasonably possible that, in the near term, the Company will revise its cost and profit estimates related to contracts in progress.

Use of Estimates—The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles 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 the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Income Taxes—A current tax liability or asset is recognized for the estimated taxes payable or refundable on tax returns for the year. Deferred tax liabilities or assets are recognized for the estimated future tax effects of temporary differences between financial reporting and tax accounting.

The Company classifies interest and penalties associated with tax liabilities as income taxes in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Reclassification—Certain 2008 amounts have been reclassified to conform to the 2009 presentation, primarily relating to the classification of billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings of approximately $3,667,000 which was previously included in accrued and other current liabilities. The reclassification had no effect on current liabilities or other subtotals in the consolidated 2008 balance sheet.

Subsequent Events—The consolidated financial statements and related disclosures include evaluation of events up through and including March 24, 2010, which is the date the consolidated financial statements were available to be issued.

Note 2—Business Combinations

On October 3, 2008, Gichner Systems Group, Inc. acquired the stock of Charleston Marine Containers, Inc. (CMCI) in a business combination accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. CMCI designs and produces a broad range of intermodal equipment that provides logistics solutions for United States military and commercial customers. The total purchase price was approximately $6,243,000, including related transaction fees, and was funded primarily through equity contributions totaling $4,800,000. The remainder of the purchase price was funded through working capital. The estimated fair value of net assets acquired exceeded the purchase price, which resulted in the elimination of the amount that would otherwise have been assigned to property and equipment and intangible assets. The resulting excess of the net assets acquired over the purchase price of approximately $2,079,000, after all tax considerations, has been recognized as an extraordinary gain during 2008.

The following table summarizes the estimated fair value of the CMCI assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and extraordinary gain recognized at the date of acquisition:

Cash	$	4,052,000
Accounts receivable		5,841,000
Inventories		5,320,000
Other current assets		116,000
Accounts payable		(1,392,000	)
Accrued and other liabilities		(5,615,000	)
Net assets acquired		8,322,000
Purchase price		6,243,000
Extraordinary gain	$	2,079,000

In 2009, the Company recognized an additional extraordinary gain of $1,672,000 related to the CMCI acquisition based upon information that became available subsequent to the date of the transaction related to the carryover tax basis of certain assets acquired that resulted in the recognition of additional deferred tax assets.

Under an amendment, maximum borrowings were temporarily increased to $8,000,000 through April 1, 2009. Up to $5,000,000 of the facility is available for letters of credit. The facility is collateralized by a security interest in all assets of the Company and carries a fee on the unused portion. Interest (1.73 percent at December 31, 2009) is at LIBOR plus a margin and

payable monthly. There was no outstanding balance on the line of credit as of December 31, 2009 or 2008.

Under the agreements with the bank, the Company is subject to various financial covenants, including fixed charge coverage and leverage.

At December 31, 2009, the Company has outstanding letters of credit totaling approximately $4,657,000, which reduces the availability on the line of credit. These letters of credit expire through August 2010.

As of December 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company held an interest rate collar in connection with the Company's Term Loan A (as described above) with a notional amount equal to the outstanding loan balance. This interest rate collar provides for a cap on LIBOR at 6.5 percent and a floor of 3.5 percent plus a margin (as defined in the agreement). This interest rate collar is recognized in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet at fair value. Although the interest rate collar is intended to hedge the exposure to variability in interest payments from changes in interest rates of the Company's variable rate debt, this derivative instrument does not meet the criteria for a cash flow hedge. As a result, changes in fair value are recorded in earnings.

At December 31, 2009 and 2008, the fair value of the interest rate collar was approximately ($132,000) and ($227,000), respectively, included in the consolidated balance sheet in accrued and other current liabilities. The change in fair value was recognized as a (credit) charge to earnings of approximatey ($95,000) and $172,000 in 2009 and 2008, respectively. Net realized losses totaled approximately $160,000 and $37,000 in 2009 and 2008, respectively. Both realized and unrealized gains and losses are recognized as a component of interest expense.

Note 9—Retirement Plans

The Company sponsors a defined contribution 401(k) and profit-sharing plan. Eligible employees may defer up to 75 percent of their compensation, subject to the maximum amount allowable by the Internal Revenue Service. The Company makes a matching contribution and may make an additional profit-sharing contribution, both subject to limitations. The Company contributed approximately $348,000 and $233,000 to the plan for 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Note 10—Common and Preferred Stock

All common and preferred stock is subject to the terms of a security holders agreement which contains certain covenants and restrictions on the ability to transfer shares. The security holders agreement contains provisions for elective purchases of shares by the Company or other stockholders under certain circumstances.

The Company has 1,009,131 shares of authorized voting common stock with a par value of $.01 per share. Voting rights for the common stock are one vote per share. As of December 31, 2009 and 2008, there were 113,125 shares issued and outstanding.

The Company has 10,869 shares of authorized Series A preferred stock (Series A) with a par value of $.01 per share and an original issue price of $1,000 per share. Series A is senior in ranking to the common stock with respect to certain rights.

More specifically, the Series A stockholders have the following rights: (1) cumulative dividends on each share of Series A shall accrue at the rate of 11 percent per annum of the original issue price compounded annually, (2) priority over the common stockholders in a liquidity event, as defined, and (3) voting rights equal to 10 votes per share. At December 31, 2009 and 2008, the amount of unpaid dividends on Series A was approximately $3,049,000 and $1,670,000, respectively.

The Company has 480,000 shares of authorized Series B convertible preferred stock (Series B) with a par value of $.01 per share and an original issue price of $10 per share. All 480,000 shares were issued in connection with the CMCI acquisition in 2008. Series B is senior in ranking to

Series A and to the common stock with respect to rights to dividends, liquidation, winding-up, and dissolution.

More specifically, the Series B stockholders have the following rights: (1) cumulative dividends on each share of Series B shall accrue at the rate of 12 percent per annum of the original issue price compounded quarterly, (2) priority over Series A and common stockholders in a liquidity event, as defined, (3) voting rights equal to one vote per share, and (4) right to convert Series B shares on a one-for-one basis into shares of common stock at a defined price as described below. At December 31, 2009 and 2008, the amount of unpaid dividends on Series B was approximately $593,000 and $144,000, respectively.

The Series B convertible preferred stock is convertible into shares of the Company's common stock on a one-for-one basis at any time at the option of the holder. The conversion price will initially be the initial per share price of the convertible preferred stock, subject to adjustment as further described in the subscription agreement, and includes any accrued and unpaid dividends (the "Conversion Price"). In addition, the holders of the Series B convertible preferred stock have certain liquidation rights as described in the agreement.

During March 2010, the Company redeemed 240,000 shares of the Series B convertible preferred stock in the amount of $2,400,000.

Note 11—Contingencies

The Company is partially self-insured for employee medical and dental benefits. The Company has obtained various levels of stop-loss coverage related to this matter. At December 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company has accrued $500,000 and $450,000, respectively, for known claims and estimated claims incurred but not reported.

Legal Matters

An environmental investigation in a prior year disclosed the presence of potential contamination of the ground water, surface water, and/or soil at the Company's Dallastown facilities. The Company has completed its environmental investigation with respect to these contaniments and has received a Release of Liability from the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection ("PaDEP") for certain regulated substances in ground water at the Dallastown facility. At December 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company has accrued approximately $233,000 and $304,000, respectively, for any potential obligation relating to this matter as a result of appeals or other litigation that may result. Furthermore, an escrow with a balance of approximately $233,000 and $304,000 as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively, has been established to indemnify the Company against this environmental contingency (see Note 1).

Futhermore, in October 2008, the Company experienced a release of a regulated substance at its Dallastown facility. The Company has taken steps to ensure that a similar release should not occur again and it reported the release to federal and state regulators. The Company has also completed its environmental investigation into this incident and has filed Remedial Investigation Reports/Final Reports with the PaDEP for the remaining regulated substances in soil and groundwater at the Dallastown facility for the October 2008 release. The Company anticipates that PaDEP approval of these reports will resolve all environmental matters at the Dallastown Facility.

In addition, in the normal course of business, the Company is subject to lawsuits and other legal matters. In the opinion of management, these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial position or results of operations.

Stock Option Plan

In May 2008, the Company adopted a stock option plan and granted options to certain employees. The options vest upon (i) the sale of the Company and (ii) the majority equity holder reaching a certain internal rate of return on its initial investment. There is an aggregate amount of 14,700

options authorized under this plan. As of December 31, 2009 and 2008, granted options totaled 14,180 and 10,973, respectively. No compensation expense related to the options granted will be recognized until the vesting conditions have been met.

Note 12—Income Taxes

The components of the income tax provision included in the consolidated statement of operations are all attributable to continuing operations and are detailed as follows:

		2009		2008
Current income tax expense		$	4,186,000	$	644,600
Deferred income tax expense			881,000		714,400
Penalties and interest			35,000		—
	Total income tax expense	$	5,102,000	$	1,359,000

A reconciliation of the provision for income taxes to income taxes computed by applying the statutory United States federal rate to income before taxes is as follows:

		2009			2008
Income tax expense computed at 34% of pretax income		$	3,605,000		$	712,000
Effect of nondeductible expenses			29,000			9,000
Effect of nondeductible losses from foreign subsidiaries			760,000			357,000
State tax expense			867,000			157,000
Other			(159,000	)		124,000
	Total income tax expense	$	5,102,000		$	1,359,000

The details of the net deferred tax asset (liability) are as follows:

		2009			2008
Total deferred tax liabilities		$	(2,354,000	)	$	(2,111,000	)
Total deferred tax assets			2,438,000			1,404,000
	Net deferred tax asset (liability)	$	84,000		$	(707,000	)

Deferred tax liabilities result principally from the use of accelerated methods of depreciation for tax purposes and the amortization of certain intangible assets for tax purposes over a shorter period than for book purposes. Deferred tax assets result from recognition of expenses for financial reporting purposes that are not deductible for tax purposes until paid. Realization of a major portion of the deferred tax assets is dependent upon gathering sufficient taxable income in future periods. No valuation allowance has been recognized for the deferred tax assets.

Uncertain Tax Positions

The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction along with Pennsylvania, South Carolina, the United Kingdom, and France. With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state and local, or non-U.S. income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before December 31, 2006.

The Company adopted a new accounting standards related to the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes as of January 1, 2009. The new accounting standard clarifies the guidance for the recognition and measurement of income tax benefits related to uncertain tax positions.

As a result of the adoption of the new standard, the Company recognized an increase in the liability for unrecognized tax benefits totaling approximately $174,000, which was accounted for as a reduction to retained earnings as of January 1, 2009. Included in this amount is approximately $23,000 of interest and penalties.

Note 13—Warranties

The Company provides unconditional repair or replacement warranties on its products. The Company recognizes warranty obligations at the time products are sold based on historical rates of warranty claims and estimated current costs of repair or replacement. Following is a reconciliation of the Company's aggregate warranty obligation for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008:

	2009			2008
Balance—Beginning of year	$	300,710		$	200,000
Warranty claims		(317,194	)		(199,076	)
Warranty obligations recognized		566,959			299,786
Balance—End of year	$	550,475		$	300,710

Note 14—Related Party Transactions

The Company incurred approximately $440,000 and $344,000 of management fees and expenses to certain common and preferred stockholders in 2009 and 2008, respectively. Additionally, the Company incurred approximately $196,000 and $213,000 of legal fees to a certain common and preferred stockholder in 2009 and 2008, respectively. Included in interest expense is related party interest of approximately $813,000 and $721,000 for 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Note 15—Fair Value Measurements

Accounting standards require certain assets and liabilities be reported at fair value in the financial statements and provides a framework for establishing that fair value. The framework for determining fair value is based on a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value.

The following tables present information about the Company's assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis at December 31, 2009, and the valuation techniques used by the Company to determine those fair values.

In general, fair values determined by Level 1 inputs use quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access.

Fair values determined by Level 2 inputs use other inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly. These Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and other inputs such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals.

Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs, including inputs that are available in situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the related asset. These Level 3 fair value measurements are based primarily on management's own estimates using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques taking into account the characteristics of the asset. Significant Level 3 inputs include the present value of estimated cash flows.

In instances where inputs used to measure fair value fall into different levels in the above fair value hierarchy, fair value measurements in their entirety are categorized based on the lowest level input that is significant to the valuation. The Company's assessment of the significance of particular inputs to these fair value measurements requires judgment and considers factors specific to each asset or liability.

The fair value of the interest rate derivative is determined using an income model based on the disparity between variable and fixed interest rates, the principal outstanding under the related note payable, yield curves, and other information readily available in the market.

Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis at December 31, 2009

	Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1)		Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)		Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)		Balance at December 31, 2009

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
Gichner Holdings, Inc. and Subsidiaries

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Gichner Holdings, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2007 and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the period from August 22, 2007 (post acquisition) through December 31, 2007. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America.

We believe that our audit provides 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 Gichner Holdings, Inc. and Subsidiaries at December 31, 2007 and the consolidated results of its operations, changes in stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the period from August 22, 2007 (post acquisition) through December 31, 2007, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Gichner Holdings, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2007

Note 1—Nature of Business and Significant Accounting Policies

Gichner Holdings, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the "Company") design, manufacture, and integrate tactical shelters and related products for military applications. The Company operates primarily in Dallastown, Pennsylvania.

Reporting Period—As disclosed in Note 2, on August 22, 2007, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets and assumed certain liabilities of Gichner Systems Group, LLC and affiliates. The accompanying consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity, and cash flows present the activities of the Company for the period beginning August 22, 2007 (post acquisition) through December 31, 2007.

Principles of Consolidation—The consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared on the basis of generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and reports the Company's financial position and results of operations subsequent to the business acquisition discussed in Note 2. The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Gichner Holdings, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Dallastown Realty I, LLC (including its wholly owned subsidiary, Dallastown Realty II, LLC) and Gichner Systems Group, Inc. (including its wholly owned subsidiary, Gichner Systems International, Inc.). All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Cash and Cash Equivalents—The Company considers all investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.

Trade Accounts Receivable—Accounts receivable are stated at net invoice amounts. An allowance for doubtful accounts is established based on a specific assessment of all invoices that remain unpaid following normal customer payment periods. In addition, a general valuation allowance is established for other accounts receivable based on historical loss experience. All amounts deemed to be uncollectible are charged against the allowance for doubtful accounts in the period that determination is made. The allowance for doubtful accounts as of December 31, 2007 was $15,000.

Credit Risk and Major Customers—Sales are predominantly to the United States government and government contractors. The Company extends trade credit to its customers on terms that are generally practiced in the industry. Three major customers, one of which is the United States government, accounted for approximately 65 percent of accounts receivable and net sales as of and for the period ended December 31, 2007.

Inventory—Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market using the average cost method of inventory costing. Individual job costs are accumulated in work-in-progress inventory until the product is shipped and then charged to cost of sales. For certain contracts, progress billings to customers are recorded as a contra inventory when paid. Generally, the Company's operating cycle covers a 12-month period. However, some inventories are liquidated over longer periods. For financial reporting purposes, all inventories are classified in current assets.

Property and Equipment—Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Costs of maintenance and repairs are charged to expense when incurred.

Goodwill—The recorded amounts of goodwill from the business combination are based on management's best estimates of the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition. Goodwill is not amortized, but rather is assessed at least on an annual basis for impairment. No impairment charge was recognized in the period ended December 31, 2007. It is reasonably possible that management's estimates of the carrying amount of goodwill will change in the near term.

Intangible Assets—Acquired intangible assets subject to amortization are stated at cost and are amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Intangible assets that are subject to amortization are reviewed for potential impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that carrying amounts may not be recoverable. Assets not subject to amortization are tested for impairment at least annually.

Restricted Cash—Under the terms of an escrow agreement in connection with the business acquisition, the Company maintains an escrow account to be used for contingent environmental liabilities (as described in the escrow agreement). At December 31, 2007, $300,000 of restricted cash is held for that purpose. The escrow agreement expires in August 2010. In addition, the Company is required to keep $466,000 on deposit with a bank as security for a letter of credit in that amount which the bank has issued for the Company in order to guarantee fulfillment of a project with a foreign customer. These amounts are included in noncurrent other assets on the consolidated balance sheet.

Deferred Finance Charges—Deferred financing costs of approximately $542,000 are amortized over the terms of the related debt agreements using the straight-line method and are included in noncurrent other assets on the consolidated balance sheet. Amortization of the debt issuance costs was approximately $35,000 for the period ended December 31, 2007.

Warranties—The Company records a liability for estimated costs to be incurred under its limited warranty policy when revenue is recognized. The warranty reserve is estimated based upon number of units sold and the Company's historical and anticipated rates of claims. As of December 31, 2007, the accrual for warranties is $200,000 and is included in accrued and other current liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet. Total warranty expense for the period ended December 31, 2007 was approximately $92,000, which represented the total warranty claims and warranty obligations recognized during the period.

Revenues and Cost Recognition—The Company provides contract services under time-and-material, cost-plus-fixed-fee, and fixed-price contracts. Revenue is recorded at the time services are completed or when products are shipped. For long-term contracts, revenues are recorded on the percentage-of-completion method. Revenues and gross profit are recognized as work is performed, primarily at the time deliveries are made or accepted, or based on the relationship between actual costs incurred and total estimated costs at completion. Revenues and gross profits are adjusted prospectively for revisions in estimated total contract costs and contract values. Estimated losses are recorded when identified.

Differences between recorded costs and estimated earnings and final billings are recognized in the period in which they become determinable. Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts are recorded as a current asset. Billings in excess of costs on uncompleted contracts are recorded as current liabilities. Generally, contracts provide for the billing of costs incurred and estimated earnings either periodically or based on certain milestones achieved. Additionally, unbilled receivables represents costs incurred that have been earned but not yet billed and collected from the customer. Billings are prepared in accordance with terms of the customer agreement.

Due to inherent limitations in the estimation process, including changes in job performance, job conditions, and estimated profitability, it is at least reasonably possible that, in the near term, the Company will revise its cost and profit estimates related to contracts in progress.

Income Taxes—A current tax liability or asset is recognized for the estimated taxes payable or refundable on tax returns for the year. Deferred tax liabilities or assets are recognized for the estimated future tax effects of temporary differences between financial reporting and tax accounting.

Use of Estimates—The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles 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 the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes(FIN 48)—In July 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48 (FIN 48),Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes. FIN 48 clarifies the guidance for the recognition and measurement of income tax benefits related to uncertain tax positions in accordance with SFAS No. 109,Accounting for Income Taxes. FIN 48 will be effective for the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2008. The Company is currently assessing the impact this interpretation will have on its consolidated financial statements.

Note 2—Business Acquisition

On August 22, 2007, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets and assumed certain liabilities of Gichner Systems Group, LLC and affiliates in a business combination accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. Gichner Systems Group designed, manufactured, and integrated tactical shelters and related products for military applications. The total purchase price was approximately $32 million, including related financing charges and fees.

Note 11—Contingencies

The Company is partially self-insured for employee medical and dental benefits. The Company has obtained various levels of stop-loss coverage related to this matter. At December 31, 2007, the Company has accrued $300,000 for known claims and estimated claims incurred but not reported.

An environmental investigation in a prior year disclosed the presence of potential contamination of the ground water, surface water, and/or soil at one of the Company's facilities. At December 31, 2007, the Company has accrued $300,000 for any potential obligation relating to this matter. In connection with the business acquisition, an escrow fund of the same amount has been established to indemnify the Company against this environmental contingency. Additionally, the Company is named as a potentially responsible party for disposing hazardous waste at incinerator sites in South Carolina and New York that have been assessed as being environmentally contaminated. In the opinion of management, these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position or results of operations.

In addition, in the normal course of business, the Company is subject to lawsuits and other legal matters. In the opinion of management, these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position or results of operations.

Note 12—Income Taxes

The components of the income tax provision included in the consolidated statement of operations are all attributable to continuing operations and are detailed as follows:

Current income tax expense		$	260,200
Deferred income tax recovery			(7,400	)
	Total income tax expense	$	252,800

The details of the deferred tax asset are as follows:

Total deferred tax liabilities		$	(371,000	)
Total deferred tax assets			378,400
	Net deferred tax asset	$	7,400

Deferred tax liabilities result principally from accelerated methods of depreciation and the deduction of certain intangible assets for tax purposes using a shorter method than for book purposes. Deferred tax assets result from recognition of expenses for financial reporting purposes that are not deductible for tax purposes until paid. Realization of a major portion of the deferred tax assets is dependent upon generating sufficient taxable income.

Note 13—Related Party Transactions

The Company incurred approximately $137,000 of management fees to certain common and preferred stockholders for the period ended December 31, 2007. Additionally, the Company incurred approximately $164,000 of legal fees to a certain common and preferred stockholder for the period ended December 31, 2007.

Note 1—Nature of Business and Significant Accounting Policies

Gichner Systems Group, LLC and Related Entities (collectively, the "Company") design, manufacture, and integrate tactical shelters and intermodal equipment for military and commercial applications. The Company operates primarily in Dallastown, Pennsylvania.

Principles of Combination—The accompanying combined financial statements include the accounts of the following entities, all of which are under common ownership: Gichner Systems Group, LLC, Gichner Europe France, s.a.r.l., Gichner Europe, Ltd., and Dallastown Realty II, LLC. All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in combination.

Gichner Systems Group, LLC is a wholly owned subsidiary of Vidalia Gichner Holdings, Inc. Gichner Europe France, s.a.r.l. and Gichner Europe, Ltd. are wholly owned subsidiaries of Gichner Systems Group, LLC. Dallastown Realty II, LLC is a wholly owned subsidiary of Dallastown Realty I, LLC.

Reporting Period—On August 22, 2007, substanially all assets and liabilities of the Company were sold to an unrelated third party. The accompanying combined statements of operations, changes in equity, and cash flows present the activities of the Company for the period beginning January 1, 2007 through the date of sale.

Cash and Cash Equivalents—The Company considers all investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.

Trade Accounts Receivable—Accounts receivable are stated at net invoice amounts. An allowance for doubtful accounts is established based on a specific assessment of all invoices that remain unpaid following normal customer payment periods. In addition, a general valuation allowance is established for other accounts receivable based on historical loss experience. All amounts deemed to be uncollectible are charged against the allowance for doubtful accounts in the period that determination is made. The allowance for doubtful accounts as of August 22, 2007 was $15,000.

Major Customers—Sales are predominantly to various agencies and military branches of the United States government and to government contractors. The Company extends trade credit to its customers on terms that are generally practiced in the industry. Three major customers, one of which is the United States government, accounted for approximately 55 percent of sales during the period. These same customers accounted for approximately 75 percent of accounts receivable at August 22, 2007.

Inventory—Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market using the average cost method of inventory costing. For certain contracts, progress billings to customers are recorded as a contra inventory when paid.

Property and Equipment—Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Costs of maintenance and repairs are charged to expense when incurred.

Goodwill—The recorded amounts of goodwill from prior business combinations are based on management's best estimates of the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition. Goodwill is not amortized, but rather is assessed at least on an annual basis for impairment. The annual goodwill impairment test on April 1, 2007 did not result in a goodwill impairment charge. Goodwill was tested for impairment again in June 2007 based on the parent company's commitment to sell the Company. This subsequent impairment test resulted in an $8 million impairment loss. Fair value was estimated based on the negotiated sales price.

Intangible Assets—Acquired intangible assets subject to amortization are stated at cost and are amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Intangible assets that are subject to amortization are reviewed for potential impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that carrying amounts may not be recoverable. Assets not subject to amortization are tested for impairment at least annually.

Warranties—The Company records a liability for estimated costs to be incurred under its limited warranty policy when revenue is recognized. The warranty reserve is estimated based upon number of units sold and the Company's historical and anticipated rates of claims.

Revenue and Cost Recognition—The Company provides contract services under time-and-material, cost-plus-fixed-fee, and fixed-price contracts relating to the manufacture of products. Revenue is recorded at the time services are completed or when products are shipped. For long-term contracts, revenues are recorded on the percentage-of-completion method. Revenues and gross profit are recognized as work is performed, primarily at the time deliveries are made or accepted, or based on the relationship between actual costs incurred and total estimated costs at completion. Revenues and gross profits are adjusted prospectively for revisions in estimated total contract costs and contract values. Estimated losses are recorded when identified.

Differences between recorded costs and estimated earnings and final billings are recognized in the period in which they become determinable. Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts are recorded as a current asset. Billings in excess of costs on uncompleted contracts are recorded as current liabilities. Generally, contracts provide for the billing of costs incurred and estimated earnings either periodically or based on certain milestones achieved. Additionally, unbilled receivables represent costs incurred that have been earned but not yet billed and collected from the customer. Billings are prepared in accordance with terms of the customer agreement.

Due to inherent limitations in the estimation process, including changes in job performance, job conditions, and estimated profitability, it is at least reasonably possible that, in the near term, the Company will revise its cost and profit estimates related to contracts in progress.

Income Taxes—Income taxes have been provided for Gichner Europe France, s.a.r.l. and Gichner Europe, Ltd. A current tax or asset is recognized for the estimated taxes payable or refundable on tax returns for each year. Deferred tax liabilities or assets are recognized for the estimated future tax effects of temporary differences between financial reporting and tax accounting. The provision for income taxes was not significant in 2007.

Gichner Systems Group, LLC and Dallastown Realty II, LLC are taxed as partnerships and, as such, and are not subject to U.S. federal income taxes. Instead, the members are responsible for individual federal taxes on their respective shares of taxable income.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments—Financial instruments consist of cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and debt. The carrying amount of all significant financial instruments approximates fair value due to either the short maturity or the existence of variable interest rates that approximate prevailing market rates.

Use of Estimates—The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles 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 the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Subsequent Events—The combined financial statements and related disclosures include evaluation of events up through and including April 26, 2010, which is the date the combined financial statements were available to be issued.
