NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Madison Research Corporation and Subsidiary | | |
Huntsville, Alabama | | December 31, 2005 |
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The accounting policies followed by the Company and the method of applying those policies which affect the determination of financial position and results of operations are summarized below:
Nature of Business
Madison Research Corporation (MRC), a minority-owned small business founded in 1986, is a full-service information technology and engineering services company. Mr. John L. Stallworth, President and CEO, directs MRC’s operations from the corporate headquarters in Huntsville, AL. The current staff of over 400 people is located in Huntsville, at six satellite offices throughout the South, and on-site at 29 government facilities nation-wide. MRC applies its core competencies of software engineering, information systems, systems acquisition, and system sustainment to meet the diverse needs of a growing customer base of government agencies (DOD, NASA, DOE, and the State of Alabama) and private industry.
Contracts
Contract income under cost reimbursement contracts is recorded as costs are incurred and includes a proportional amount of the fee expected to be realized on each contract. Costs incurred where the company operates in an agency capacity for the government are treated as expense reimbursements and only handling costs and fees are recorded as revenue. Contract income under fixed-price contracts is recorded under the accrual billings method applicable to service contracts.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided at rates intended to distribute the cost of these assets over their estimated service lives of 5 to 7 years.
Retirement Plan
The Company has a 401(k) plan for the benefit of employees who meet certain eligibility requirements. Eligible employees may defer up to 60% of compensation per year through salary reductions not to exceed the legal limits. The Company matches 50% of employee salary deferrals up to 6% of eligible salary. At the discretion of the Board of Directors, the Company may also contribute an amount at the end of each plan year to be considered as a profit sharing contribution. The Company expects to continue the plan indefinitely; however, the rights to modify, amend, or terminate the plan have been reserved.
The Company’s contributions to the plan for the year ended December 31, 2005 were $585,726.
Comprehensive Income
The Company has adopted the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130, “Reporting Comprehensive Income” (FAS 130). FAS 130 governs the financial statement presentation of changes in shareholders’ equity resulting from non-owner sources. Accumulated other comprehensive income as reported in the accompanying balance sheets represent unrealized gains on available for sale securities.
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 revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Income Taxes
Income taxes are provided for the tax effect of transactions reported in the financial statements and consist of taxes currently due and deferred taxes. Deferred taxes are recognized for differences between the basis of assets and liabilities for financial statement and income tax purposes. The differences relate to:
6
| | 2005 | |
Deferred tax liability: | | | |
Accounts receivable - retainages (deferred until received for tax purposes) | | $ | 113,502 | |
Unrealized gain on investment (deferred for tax purposes) | | 6,976 | |
Depreciable assets (different depreciation methods and lives for tax purposes) | | 46,769 | |
| | | |
Total deferred tax liability | | 167,247 | |
Less: current portion | | (120,478 | ) |
| | | |
Total long-term deferred tax liability | | $ | 46,769 | |
| | | |
Deferred tax asset - current: | | $ | — | |
Unrealized loss on investment (deferred for tax purposes) | | 27,451 | |
Capital loss carryforward (deferred for tax purposes) | | 3,458 | |
Bonus and salary accruals (amounts due to owners deferred for tax purposes) | | 8,292 | |
Vacation accruals (amounts due to owners deferred for tax purposes) | | 61,010 | |
Rabbi Trust (deferred compensation for tax purposes) | | 190,697 | |
Vacation accrual (amounts not taken within 2½ months deferred for tax purposes | | $ | 290,908 | |
The deferred tax assets and liabilities represent the future tax return consequences of those differences, which will either be taxable or deductible when the assets and liabilities are recovered or settled.
NOTE 2 CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK
The Company maintains its checking and money market accounts with a financial institution that insures cash balances of up to $100,000 through the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. At December 31, 2005, the Company has $6,536,851 in uninsured cash balances.

The line matures on May 1, 2006 and is guaranteed by accounts receivable and the personal guarantee of a primary shareholder.

Contracts
Payments to the Company on cost reimbursement contracts are provisional payments which are subject to adjustment upon annual audit by the Defense Contract Audit Agency. The audit of costs for the year ended December 31, 2003, began in 2005. The report was dated January 31, 2006. The audits of costs for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, have not been initiated. It is management’s opinion that the results of these audits will not have any material effect on the Company’s financial position.
Deferred Compensation Plan
The Company has a deferred compensation plan for a key employee of the Company. Contributions to the plan are at the discretion of the Board of Directors and paid into a trust held as an asset of the Company. Compensation costs are estimated and accrued so that costs under the plan are recognized over the employee’s estimated remaining years of service.
