We encourage you to read this entire prospectus and the documents to which we refer you to understand fully the terms of the exchange offer. Our pro forma financial information gives effect to the acquisition of our predecessor, Getronics Government Solutions, L.L.C., and related financing transactions as if they had occurred on January 1, 2002, as further described in "Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Information."
Company Overview
We are a leading provider of managed network, information security, and application development services and solutions to U.S. civilian, defense, and intelligence federal government agencies. We have more than 30 years of proven experience in providing information technology services and solutions to our U.S. federal government clients. Our comprehensive information technology services and solutions allow our clients to outsource the design, implementation, integration, management, and security of their increasingly complex computer networks and systems. We are focused on increasing network reliability, reducing overall network costs, and rapidly migrating mission critical network computing environments to new technologies, which are critical elements for maintaining the daily operations of numerous federal agencies. Our actual and pro forma revenues for the year ended December 31, 2002 were approximately $33.9 million and $367.8 million, respectively. Our revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2003 were approximately $160.3 million.
We provide comprehensive information technology services and solutions through an integrated set of three core offerings:
- •
- Managed Network Services. We provide managed network services that help our clients more reliably and efficiently manage their increasingly complex network computing environments. For example, for one of our civilian agency clients who wanted to outsource a number of its managed network services requirements, we designed and currently maintain an improved network architecture that significantly increased network capacity and reliability for more than 17,000 users in more than 2,000 field locations across several different departments.
- •
- Information Security Solutions. We provide information security solutions that help our clients protect the availability, integrity, and confidentiality of their data and underlying computing systems. For example, for one of our intelligence agency clients who sought to outsource a number of functions for its various network computing environments, we designed an improved network architecture and engineered a number of security systems. In order to provide secure access for personnel working in overseas locations, we deployed security systems that operate at multiple security levels and allow increased flexibility, responsiveness and security in managing classified data.
- •
- Application Development and Integration. We provide application development and integration services and solutions that help our clients more efficiently run their organizations through the use of customized software applications. We have developed electronic web-based procurement systems, logistics systems, financial systems, command and control systems, and knowledge management systems. For example, for one of our Department of Defense clients, we designed, developed, deployed, integrated and currently maintain a financial software application that is used to manage our client's standard accounting systems as well as its standard base supply and medical logistics systems.
We have a broad base of over 60 U.S. civilian, defense, and intelligence federal government agency clients on over 160 active engagements, which creates a diversified revenue stream. We have served many of our clients for over 10 years, including some for more than 30 years, which we believe fosters a stable and predictable business environment for us as we provide ongoing modifications and support for our solutions. We believe our long-standing relationships are due in large part to our technical expertise and proven
1
performance on individual contracts, particularly in mission critical areas involving intelligence, national security, and other sensitive or classified government functions. Our clients include:
Department of Defense
- •
- Department of the Air Force

Industry Overview
Recent defense budgets are significantly higher than in prior years, particularly in areas related to intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance and homeland security, because of increased counter-terrorism activities following the events of September 11, 2001, the U.S. military operations in Afghanistan, the war in Iraq and the resulting changes required in the Department of Defense to prepare for these types of events. The U.S. federal government is among the largest consumers of information technology services and solutions in the world. According to INPUT, an independent federal government market research firm, the overall federal information technology market for vendor-furnished information systems and services is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 8.5% from $45.4 billion in federal fiscal year 2003 to $68.2 billion in federal fiscal year 2008. Federal government spending on outsourced information technology services, our primary market, is expected to grow from $8.9 billion in fiscal year 2003 to $16.1 billion in fiscal year 2008, a compound annual growth rate of 12.6%, according to INPUT. We believe that the
2
continued increase in the federal government's spending on information technology over the next several years will be primarily driven by the following factors:
- •
- Increased Spending on Defense, Intelligence, and Homeland Security Initiatives. We believe the Department of Defense's need to maintain and upgrade its existing information technology systems and to develop and deploy the next generation of its systems, including command, control, communications, computing, and intelligence systems, will drive growth in overall information technology spending.
- •
- Demand for Greater Government Efficiency and Effectiveness. Federal government agencies are under increasing pressure to be more efficient and effective, which they are responding to by improving and upgrading their technological capabilities. We believe that one way in which federal agencies are attempting to drive greater efficiency and effectiveness is through outsourcing information technology services to third parties.
- •
- Increased Demand for Complex, Interoperable, and Reliable Networks. The growth in network-dependent activities throughout the federal government requires complex network services and solutions that integrate a variety of systems and technologies from multiple vendors to link people and systems electronically.
Competitive Strengths
We believe we are well positioned to address the specific requirements of our clients because we possess the following key competitive strengths:
Knowledge of Our Clients' Business Processes, Information Architecture and Technology Initiatives. We have served a number of our clients for more than 10 years, including some for more than 30 years. Through these long-standing relationships, we have developed an extensive knowledge of our clients' business processes, cultures, contracting environments, information architectures, and technology initiatives, providing us with an opportunity to further expand these relationships. We believe the strength of our long-term relationships is demonstrated by our success in the task order renewal process.
In-Depth Managed Network Computing and Information Security Expertise. Our expertise in complex network technologies covers the entire life cycle of an organization's network requirements, including network design, implementation, integration, and management. We have extensive experience in providing large scale network design and installation and managed network services. As of June 30, 2003, we managed and supported approximately 123,000 users across 24 different networks, including networks in the Department of Defense, the Department of the Treasury, the Department of State, and the Department of Justice. We also offer a comprehensive integrated set of information security services and solutions designed to meet our clients' information security needs. We evaluate our clients' security risks and develop a comprehensive plan to address these risks through the implementation, integration, and management of our information security solutions.
Highly Skilled Technical and Managerial Professionals. We believe our competitive position is enhanced by our ability to attract, retain, and develop qualified technical and managerial professionals. As of December 31, 2002, approximately 80% of our nearly 1,650 employees, were professional staff. As of June 30, 2003, approximately 62% of our employees held government security clearances and approximately 53% of these employees held Top Secret clearance or higher allowing us to work with our clients in highly classified environments. We believe our technical and managerial training programs have contributed to our ability to attract and retain our professionals. For example, we have developed a Best Practices Program, which is required training for all of our program managers, deputy program managers and business managers.
3
Disciplined Program Management Review Process. Our disciplined program management review process brings our project teams together on a regular basis to review each of our individual client programs. This review helps ensure that we are meeting project goals. Employees from our operations, human resources, contracts, and finance organizations meet, at a minimum, on a quarterly basis for each client program to discuss and evaluate the client program's progress and to develop a plan to ensure that the program is progressing on budget, on time, and that the client is satisfied.
Experienced Management Team. Our management team has substantial experience leading companies that provide technology services to the Department of Defense, the intelligence community, and civilian federal government agencies. Our core group of seven senior executives has an average of 18 years of experience in the information technology industry and an average of 15 years of experience providing information technology services and solutions to the federal government. During five of the last 13 years, our Chief Executive Officer has worked with the three members of DGS' senior management team who were responsible for managing substantially all of our revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2003. We believe that the longstanding client relationships maintained by our Chief Executive Officer, the President of DGS, and other members of our senior management team will contribute to our ability to cross-sell our full range of services and solutions to existing clients and to identify and leverage new business opportunities. Our management team owns approximately 29.8% of our outstanding common stock.

Business Strategy
Our objective is to continue to profitably grow our business as a leading provider of information technology services and solutions. Key elements of our strategy include:
Leverage Our Differentiated Services and Solutions to Expand Our Client Base. We believe our experience and highly differentiated services and solutions offerings will enable us to expand our client base in high growth areas of the federal information technology services market. We also believe our investment in emerging technologies, and our processes, methodologies, and best practices ensure high quality and consistent offerings in managed network services, information security solutions, and application development and integration solutions.
Build on Our Longstanding Client Relationships to Cross-Sell Our Full Range of Services and Solutions. Through increased marketing efforts, we intend to continue our efforts to expand the scope of our existing client relationships by broadening the range of services we provide to our clients. Providing additional services to our clients should increase our overall knowledge of our clients' business and technical requirements, which we believe will contribute to increased use of our services over time.
Accelerate Our Sales and Marketing Efforts. We intend to accelerate our sales and marketing efforts by adding additional business development personnel, increasing our spending on bid and proposal efforts, and leveraging the industry relationships of Ken S. Bajaj, our Chief Executive Officer, and Steven Hanau, the President of DGS.
Expand Our Services and Solutions Offerings. In addition, we plan to continue expanding our offerings of directory services, mobile computing solutions, and secure remote access solutions. We intend to continue to expand our services and solutions in areas such as managed network services, information security services, and other emerging technologies. Our advanced technology group develops methodologies and best practices for the introduction of new technologies in our client engagements.
Pursue Strategic Acquisitions. We may pursue strategic acquisitions that can cost-effectively add new clients, specific federal agency knowledge, or technological expertise to accelerate our access to existing or new markets. We plan to be very selective in our acquisition program and will focus on those businesses in either the government or commercial sectors that broaden and complement our existing expertise.
Our Investors
Our executive officers, directors and their affiliates, including GTCR Golder Rauner, L.L.C. and its affiliates ("GTCR") including GTCR Fund VII, L.P. and GTCR Co-Invest, L.P., together own approximately 95.2% of our outstanding common stock, and GTCR owns approximately 65.4% of our outstanding common stock.

Accordingly, they will rank equally with all unsecured unsubordinated debt of the guarantors, effectively behind all secured debt of the guarantors (including the guarantors' guarantees of the debt under the 2003 Credit Facility) to the extent of the value of the assets securing such debt, and ahead of all future subordinated debt of the guarantors. |
| | After the application of the net proceeds from the sale of the old notes, the issuer and the parent company had $125.0 million of debt outstanding, all of which was debt of the issuer; none of which was secured debt. |
Optional Redemption | | The issuer may redeem the new notes, in whole or in part, after July 15, 2007, at the redemption prices described in this prospectus, plus accrued interest. |
| | In addition, at any time prior to July 15, 2006, the issuer may redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the new notes at the redemption price described in this prospectus with the net cash proceeds from certain equity offerings. However, the issuer may only make such redemptions if at least 65% of the aggregate principal amount of notes originally issued remains outstanding after each such redemption. See "Description of Notes—Optional Redemption" for more information. |
Change of Control | | Upon a change of control, you may require the issuer to repurchase all or a portion of your new notes at a purchase price of 101% of their principal amount, plus accrued interest. The term "change of control" is defined in "Description of Notes—Certain Definitions." |
Certain Covenants | | The indenture governing the new notes contains covenants that will limit the ability of the issuer and its subsidiaries to, among other things: |
| | • | | pay dividends on, or redeem or repurchase stock; |
| | • | | make certain investments; |
| | • | | incur additional debt or sell preferred stock; |
| | | | |
9
| | • | | create liens; |
| | • | | restrict dividend payments or other payments from subsidiaries to the issuer and its subsidiaries; |
| | • | | apply net proceeds from certain asset sales; |
| | • | | create unrestricted subsidiaries; |
| | • | | engage in consolidations and mergers or sell or transfer assets; and |
| | • | | engage in transactions with affiliates. |
| | All of these limitations are subject to important exceptions and qualifications described under "Description of Notes—Certain Covenants." |
Use of Proceeds | | The issuer will not receive any cash proceeds from the issuance of the new notes. The issuer used the net proceeds from the sale of the old notes to repay the outstanding debt under the term loan portion of our previous senior credit facility and our previously existing senior subordinated bridge facility. |
You should carefully consider all of the information contained in this prospectus, including the discussion under the caption "Risk Factors" regarding specific risks involved in an investment in the new notes.

- On November 26, 2002, we acquired all of the membership interests of Getronics Government Solutions, L.L.C. (now DigitalNet Government Solutions, LLC or DGS). Our results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2002 include the operating results of DGS from November 26, 2002 through December 31, 2002 along with that of DigitalNet Holdings, Inc. for the entire year ended December 31, 2002
- (2)
- The unaudited pro forma as adjusted statement of operations data gives effect to (i) the DGS acquisition and the related financing transactions, (ii) the sale of the old notes and the application of proceeds thereafter to repay indebtedness, (iii) the 2003 Credit Facility and (iv) the exchange offer as if each of the transactions had occurred on January 1, 2002. See "Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Information" for a detailed discussion of the pro forma as adjusted statement of operations data.

- On January 1, 2002, DGS adopted SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets," which requires that goodwill no longer be amortized. If SFAS No. 142 had been effective for the years ended December 31, 2000 and 2001, net income would have increased by approximately $5.4 million and $4.2 million, respectively, resulting in net income of approximately $7.2 million and $22.5 million, respectively.
- (4)
- EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) plus interest, income taxes, depreciation, and amortization. Our method of computation may or may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures used by other companies. EBITDA is presented because we believe EBITDA is a meaningful indicator that can be used by investors to analyze and compare our operating performance to the operating performance of other companies. However, EBITDA should not be construed as an alternative to net income as determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, as an indicator of our operating performance or as an alternative to cash flows as a measure of liquidity. A reconciliation of net income (loss) to EBITDA is as follows (dollars in thousands):

- Revenues, as adjusted, represent revenues, as reported, less revenues derived from our Immigration and Naturalization Service, or INS, Facilities Operation Support, or FOS, contract and our National Aeronautics and Space Administration, or NASA, Consolidated Space Operations Contract, or CSOC. Because our performance under the INS/FOS contract ended November 30, 2002 and our performance under the NASA CSOC contract will end on December 31, 2003, management believes that revenues, as adjusted, presents investors with a meaningful depiction of our ongoing business at the date of the DGS acquisition.

- EBITDA, as adjusted, represents EBITDA as set forth above, less gross profit associated with our INS/FOS contract and our NASA CSOC contract, plus stock-based compensation and acquisition and related expenses. Our method of computation may or may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures used by other companies. EBITDA, as adjusted, should not be construed as either an alternative to net income, as determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, as an indicator of our operating performance or as an alternative to cash flows as a measure of liquidity. Gross profit associated with our INS/FOS contract and our NASA CSOC contract represents the amount by which revenues associated with these contracts exceeds the costs of revenues associated with these contracts. Because our performance under the INS/FOS contract ended November 30, 2002 and our performance under the NASA CSOC contract will end on December 31, 2003, management believes that EBITDA, as adjusted, presents investors with a meaningful depiction of our ongoing business at the date of the DGS acquisition. We have also excluded stock-based compensation from EBITDA, as adjusted, because our predecessor did not incur similar expenses due to the nature of its ownership and management believes that such presentation provides greater comparability for our results of operations to the prior periods presented for our predecessor. In addition, we have excluded acquisition and related expenses from EBITDA, as adjusted, because management believes that such expenses were non-recurring as they relate to transactions in the period prior to or concurrent with the commencement of substantive operations upon the acquisition of DGS.

RISK FACTORS
Before making an investment in our new notes, you should carefully consider the following risks, as well as the other information contained in this prospectus, including our consolidated financial statements and the related notes and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations." Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us, or risks that we currently deem immaterial, may also impair our business operations. Any of the risk factors described below could significantly and adversely affect our business and results of operations and make it difficult for us to service our debt.
Risks Relating to the Offering
Our substantial debt could adversely affect our financial health.
We have a significant amount of debt outstanding, including $125.0 million of outstanding indebtedness under the old notes. In addition, we have up to $50.0 million of availability under our senior secured revolving credit facility that we obtained concurrently with the offering of the old notes (the "2003 Credit Facility"). You should be aware that this level of debt could have important consequences to you. Below we have identified some of the material potential consequences resulting from this significant amount of debt:
- •
- a significant portion of our cash flow from operations must be dedicated to the repayment or servicing of indebtedness, thereby reducing the amount of cash we have available for other purposes, including reinvestment in the company;
- •
- we may be unable to obtain additional financing for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions and general corporate purposes;
- •
- our ability to adjust to changing market conditions may be hampered;
- •
- we may be at a competitive disadvantage compared to our less leveraged competitors; and
- •
- we may be vulnerable to the impact of adverse economic and industry conditions and, to the extent of our outstanding debt under our 2003 Credit Facility, the impact of increases in interest rates.
We cannot assure you that we will continue to generate sufficient cash flow or that we will be able to borrow funds under the 2003 Credit Facility in amounts sufficient to enable us to service our debt, including the new notes offered hereby, or meet our working capital and capital expenditure requirements. We must satisfy borrowing base restrictions in order to borrow additional amounts under the 2003 Credit Facility. If we are not able to generate sufficient cash flow from operations or to borrow sufficient funds to service our debt, due to borrowing base restrictions or otherwise, we may be required to sell assets, reduce capital expenditures, refinance all or a portion of our existing debt, including the new notes, or obtain additional financing. We cannot assure you that we will be able to refinance our debt, sell assets or borrow more money on terms acceptable to us, if at all.
We will be able to incur more indebtedness, which may intensify the risks associated with our substantial leverage, including our ability to service our indebtedness.
We and our subsidiaries will be able to incur substantial additional indebtedness in the future, including up to the greater of (i) $60.0 million and (ii) specified percentages of our accounts receivable under the 2003 Credit Facility. Although our ability to incur additional debt will be restricted under the covenants contained in the 2003 Credit Facility and the indenture governing the new notes, these restrictions are subject to a number of qualifications and exceptions, and the indebtedness incurred in compliance with these restrictions could be substantial. To the extent new debt is added to our currently anticipated debt levels, the substantial leverage risks described above would increase. Also, these restrictions do not prevent us from incurring obligations that do not constitute indebtedness.
14
To service our debt, we will require a significant amount of cash. Our ability to generate cash depends on many factors beyond our control.
Our ability to repay or refinance our debt, including the new notes, depends on our successful financial and operating performance and the availability of financing through the 2003 Credit Facility. We cannot assure you that our business strategy will succeed or that we will achieve our anticipated financial results. Our financial and operating performance depends upon a number of factors including those listed in this "Risk Factors" section of this prospectus, many of which are beyond our control. In addition, our ability to borrow funds in the future to make payments on our debt will depend on our satisfaction of the covenants and other conditions in the 2003 Credit Facility and other agreements we may enter into in the future.
We cannot assure you that we will generate sufficient cash flow from operations or that we will be able to obtain sufficient funding to satisfy all of our debt obligations, including the new notes. If we are unable to pay our debt, we will be required to pursue one or more alternative strategies, such as selling assets, refinancing or restructuring our indebtedness or selling equity securities. However, we cannot assure you that any alternative strategies will be feasible at the time or prove adequate. The 2003 Credit Facility, the indenture governing the new notes and the terms of our other debt may restrict, or market or business conditions may limit, our ability to do any of these things.
Covenants in the financing agreements governing our debt, including the new notes and the 2003 Credit Facility, may restrict our financial and operating flexibility and any event of default could have a material adverse effect on our business.
Our financing agreements, including the new notes and the 2003 Credit Facility, will contain covenants that limit or restrict our and our subsidiaries' operating and financial activities. The 2003 Credit Facility contains customary affirmative and negative covenants, including financial covenants that we are required to meet, including:
- •
- a consolidated total leverage ratio of:
- •
- 3.75 to 1.00 or less from the closing of the 2003 Credit Facility until December 31, 2004; and
- •
- 3.50 to 1.00 or less from January 1, 2005 and thereafter;
- •
- a consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio of:
- •
- 1.25 to 1.00 or greater from the closing of the 2003 Credit Facility until December 31, 2003; and
- •
- 1.75 to 1.00 or greater from January 1, 2004 and thereafter; and
- •
- a minimum Net Worth covenant requiring the consolidated net worth of Holdings (defined as shareholders' equity, plus Class A Preferred Stock, plus Class B Preferred Stock, each as set forth on the consolidated balance sheet of Holdings) to be no less than the sum of (i) $89,000,000, plus (ii) an amount equal to 50% of consolidated net income (to the extent positive) after the closing of the 2003 Credit Facility, plus (iii) an amount equal to 100% of all equity issuances after such closing date appearing on the consolidated balance sheet of Holdings, less (iv) an amount equal to the reduction on the consolidated balance sheet of Holdings resulting from redemptions of Class B Preferred Stock after such closing date.
Those covenants also restrict certain of our corporate activities, including, among other things, our ability to: make acquisitions, merge or consolidate with other entities, dispose of assets, incur additional indebtedness, pay dividends, create liens, make investments, make capital expenditures, and engage in certain transactions with affiliates. The credit agreement also contains customary events of default, including, among others, defaults based on certain bankruptcy and insolvency events; nonpayment; cross-defaults to other debt; breach of specified covenants; change of control and material inaccuracy of representations and warranties.
15
The indenture governing the new notes restricts, among other things, our ability to:
- •
- pay dividends on, or redeem or repurchase, our stock;
- •
- incur additional debt or sell preferred stock;
- •
- create liens;
- •
- restrict dividend payments or other payments from subsidiaries to us;
- •
- engage in consolidations and mergers or sell or transfer assets;
- •
- make specified types of investments;
- •
- apply net proceeds from certain asset sales;
- •
- create unrestricted subsidiaries; and
- •
- engage in transactions with our affiliates.
Our ability to satisfy the covenants and other conditions in the 2003 Credit Facility can be affected by events beyond our control, and we cannot assure you that we will satisfy them. If we cannot comply with the financial covenants in the 2003 Credit Facility, we may not be able to borrow under this facility. In addition, failure to comply with any of the covenants in our existing or future financing agreements could result in a default under those agreements and under other agreements containing cross-default provisions. A default would permit the lenders under the applicable agreement to declare amounts outstanding under such agreements to be due and, in the case of the 2003 Credit Facility, the lenders could proceed against the assets that are pledged. We have pledged substantially all of our assets, including the stock of our subsidiaries, to secure the debt under the 2003 Credit Facility. If our creditors decide to exercise their rights, we cannot assure you that our assets would be sufficient to pay that debt and other debt, including the new notes.
In addition, in the event of a default, the lenders under the 2003 Credit Facility will, and any future lenders may, be able to terminate any commitments they made to supply us with further funds. Under these circumstances, we might not have sufficient funds or other resources to satisfy all of our obligations, including our obligations under the new notes. In addition, the limitations imposed by our financing agreements on our ability to incur additional debt and to take other actions might significantly impair our ability to obtain other financing. We cannot assure you that we will be able to obtain waivers or amendments of our financing agreements, if necessary, at acceptable terms or at all.
Although these new notes are referred to as "senior notes," they are unsecured and will be effectively subordinated to our and the guarantors' secured indebtedness.
The new notes, and the guarantees of the new notes, are unsecured and therefore will be effectively subordinated to any secured indebtedness we, or the relevant guarantor, may incur to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness. The 2003 Credit Facility is secured by all our assets, and the guarantees of that facility by each guarantor of the new notes are secured by all of the guarantors' assets. In the event of a bankruptcy or similar proceeding involving us or a guarantor, the assets which serve as collateral for any secured indebtedness will be available to satisfy the obligations under the secured indebtedness before any payments are made on the new notes or the guarantees. Upon completion of the offering of the old notes, we had $125.0 million of debt outstanding related to the old notes and up to $50.0 million of additional availability under the 2003 Credit Facility. The new notes will be effectively subordinated to any borrowings under the 2003 Credit Facility. See the section "Description of Certain Indebtedness."
16
Not all of our subsidiaries will guarantee our obligations under the new notes, and the assets of the nonguarantor subsidiaries may not be available to make payments on the new notes.
Our present and future domestic restricted subsidiaries will guarantee the new notes. Payments on the new notes are only required to be made by us, our parent, DigitalNet Holdings, Inc., and the subsidiary guarantors. As a result, no payments are required to be made from assets of subsidiaries that do not guarantee the new notes, unless those assets are transferred by dividend or otherwise to us, DigitalNet Holdings, Inc. or a subsidiary guarantor. In the event of a bankruptcy, liquidation or reorganization of any of our current or future non-guarantor subsidiaries, holders of their liabilities, including their trade creditors, will be entitled to payment of their claims from the assets of those subsidiaries before any assets of these subsidiaries are made available for distribution to us. As a result, the new notes are effectively subordinated to all debt and other liabilities, including trade payables, of such non-guarantor subsidiaries. In addition, in certain circumstances, we will be required to pledge the ownership interests of our foreign subsidiaries to the lenders pursuant to the 2003 Credit Facility. As of the issue date of the new notes, none of our foreign subsidiaries will guarantee the new notes. At present, we have only one foreign subsidiary. The foreign subsidiary does not conduct any business and has no assets.
DigitalNet Holdings, Inc., our parent company, does not have any resources to support its guaranty of the new notes.
Although DigitalNet Holdings, Inc. has guaranteed the new notes, it currently conducts no business and has no significant assets other than receivables from us and our capital stock. Since all of our capital stock owned by DigitalNet Holdings, Inc. will be pledged to secure DigitalNet Holdings, Inc.'s guaranty of the 2003 Credit Facility, there are currently no unencumbered assets supporting DigitalNet Holdings, Inc.'s guaranty of the new notes.
Federal and state statutes allow courts, under specific circumstances, to void guarantees and require noteholders to return payments received from guarantors.
If a bankruptcy case or lawsuit is initiated by unpaid creditors of any guarantor, the debt represented by the guarantee entered into by such guarantor may be reviewed under the federal bankruptcy law and comparable provisions of state fraudulent transfer laws. Under these laws, a court could void the new notes or the guarantee or subordinate the amounts owing under the new notes or the guarantee to our presently existing or future indebtedness or take other actions detrimental to you if, among other things, the guarantor, at the time it entered into the guarantee:
- •
- incurred this debt with the intent of hindering, delaying or defrauding current or future creditors; or
- •
- received less than reasonably equivalent value or fair consideration for entering into the guarantee; and either:
- •
- was insolvent or rendered insolvent by reason of entering into the guarantee;
- •
- was engaged in a business or transaction for which the guarantor's remaining assets constituted unreasonably small capital; or
- •
- intended to incur, or believed that it would incur, debts or contingent liabilities beyond its ability to pay them as they become due.
Any payment by a guarantor could be voided and required to be returned to the guarantor or to a fund for the benefit of the guarantor's creditors under those circumstances. In addition, the subsidiary guarantors may be subject to the allegation that because they incurred their guarantees for our benefit, they incurred the obligations under the guarantees for less than reasonably equivalent value or fair consideration.
If a guarantee were voided as a fraudulent conveyance or held unenforceable for any other reason, holders of the new notes would be solely creditors of our company and creditors of our other guarantors that
17
have validly guaranteed the new notes. The new notes then would be effectively subordinated to all liabilities of the guarantor whose guarantee was voided.
The measures of insolvency for purposes of these fraudulent transfer laws will vary depending upon the law applied in any proceeding to determine whether a fraudulent transfer has occurred. Generally, however, a guarantor would be considered insolvent if:
- •
- the sum of its debts, including contingent liabilities, were greater than the fair saleable value of all of its assets;
- •
- the present fair saleable value of its assets were less than the amount that would be required to pay its probable liability on its existing debts, including contingent liabilities, as they become absolute and mature; or
- •
- it could not pay its debts or contingent liabilities as they become due.
If the claims of the holders of the new notes against any guarantor were subordinated in favor of other creditors of the guarantor, the other creditors would be entitled to be paid in full before any payment could be made by the guarantor on the new notes. If one or more of the guarantees is voided or subordinated, we cannot assure you that after providing for all prior claims there would be sufficient assets remaining to satisfy the claims of the holders of the new notes.
Based upon financial and other information, we believe that the guarantees are being incurred for proper purposes and in good faith and that we, DigitalNet Holdings, Inc. and our subsidiaries that are guarantors, on a consolidated basis, are solvent and will continue to be solvent after this offering is completed, will have sufficient capital for carrying on our business after the issuance of the new notes and will be able to pay our debts as they mature. We cannot assure you, however, as to the standard a court would apply in making these determinations or that a court would agree with our conclusions in this regard.
We may not be able to finance a change of control offer as required by the indenture governing the new notes, which would result in defaults under the indenture governing the new notes and our 2003 Credit Facility.
Upon a change of control under the indenture governing the new notes, we will be required to offer to repurchase all of the new notes then outstanding at 101% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest and liquidated damages, if any, to the repurchase date. Prior to repurchasing any of the new notes, we must either repay all debt under our 2003 Credit Facility or obtain the required consents from the applicable lenders to allow us to repurchase the new notes. In such circumstances, we cannot assure you that we would have the financial resources available to repay the 2003 Credit Facility and any other debt that would become payable upon a change of control and to repurchase all of the new notes at the required premium. Our failure to do so would constitute an event of default under the indenture and, accordingly, under our 2003 Credit Facility.
We could enter into various transactions, such as acquisitions, refinancings, recapitalizations or other highly leveraged transactions, which would not constitute a change of control, but which could nevertheless increase the amount of our outstanding debt or adversely affect our capital structure or credit ratings, or otherwise adversely affect holders of the new notes.
Under the terms of the new notes, a variety of acquisition, refinancing, recapitalization or other highly leveraged transactions may not be considered change of control transactions. As a result, we could enter into any such transaction without being required to make an offer to repurchase the new notes even though the transaction could increase the total amount of our outstanding debt, adversely affect our capital structure or credit ratings or otherwise adversely affect holders of the new notes.
18
If you fail to exchange your old notes, they will continue to be restricted securities and may become less liquid.
Because we anticipate that most holders of the old notes will elect to exchange their old notes, we expect that the liquidity of the market for any old notes remaining after the completion of the exchange offer may be substantially limited. Any old note tendered and exchanged in the exchange offer will reduce the aggregate principal amount of the old notes outstanding. Following the exchange offer, if you did not tender your old notes, you generally will not have any further registration rights and your old notes will continue to be subject to transfer restrictions. Accordingly, the liquidity of the market for any old notes could be adversely affected.
Old notes which you do not tender or we do not accept will, following the exchange offer, continue to be restricted securities. You may not offer or sell untendered old notes except pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws. We will issue new notes in exchange for the old notes pursuant to the exchange offer only following the satisfaction of procedures and conditions described elsewhere in this prospectus. These procedures and conditions include timely receipt by the exchange agent of the old notes and of a properly completed and duly executed letter of transmittal.
We are controlled by GTCR, whose interests may be different from yours.
Our executive officers, directors, and their affiliates, including GTCR, will together own 95.2% of our outstanding common stock, and GTCR owns approximately 65.4% of our outstanding common stock. GTCR substantially controls our affairs. The interest of GTCR may not in all cases be aligned with your interest as a holder of the new notes. In addition, as a result of GTCR's ownership interest, conflicts of interest could arise with respect to transactions between GTCR and us, potential acquisitions of businesses and properties, the incurrence of additional indebtedness, the payment of dividends and other matters.
Risks Related to Our Business
We depend on contracts with U.S. government agencies for substantially all of our revenues. If our relationships with these agencies were harmed, our business would be adversely affected.
Contracts funded by U.S. government agencies accounted for approximately 98% of our pro forma revenues for the year ended December 31, 2002, and approximately 99% of our revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2003. We believe that federal government contracts will continue to be the source of substantially all of our revenues for the foreseeable future. For this reason, any issue that compromises our relationship with agencies of the federal government in general, or with the Department of Defense in particular, would cause serious harm to our business. Among the key factors in maintaining our relationships with federal government agencies and departments are our performance on individual contracts and delivery orders, the strength of our professional reputation, and the relationships of our key executives with client personnel. To the extent that our performance does not meet client expectations, or our reputation or relationships with one or more key clients are impaired, our revenues and operating results could be materially harmed.
Our acquisition of DGS may have adverse consequences on our business and our limited management history may make it difficult to evaluate our business and our future prospects.
We commenced operations in September 2001 and did not have any material operations until our acquisition of Getronics Government Solutions, L.L.C. (now DigitalNet Government Solutions, LLC) in November 2002. Your evaluation of our business and prospects will be difficult because of our limited management history of DGS. Our historical financial and operational data are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for any future period. Companies such as DGS that have experienced a change of
19
control frequently encounter risks, expenses, and difficulties, including adverse effects on existing business relationships with suppliers and clients and the loss of key employees.
We have already experienced some of these challenges. For example, in connection with the replacement of the former President and Chief Executive Officer of DGS following the acquisition, we are obligated to make additional cash payments related to a severance agreement. We may experience additional challenges that make it difficult to successfully operate the business that we acquired from DGS. If we fail to manage our business effectively, we could experience disruptions to our business and loss of revenues.
Prior to our acquisition of DGS, our predecessor lost its largest contract, and another one of our largest contracts will end at the end of 2003. Both of these events will make us a smaller company than as presented in our historical financial statements.
Our predecessor's Immigration and Naturalization Service, or INS, Facilities Operation Support contract, or FOS, ended on November 30, 2002. On a pro forma basis, this contract accounted for approximately 16% of our revenues and approximately 21% of our gross margin contribution for the year ended December 31, 2002 and represented our largest contract on a revenue and total profit basis. We had no revenues from this contract for the six months ended June 30, 2003. We do not currently expect the revenues from this contract to be replaced in 2003 or in the foreseeable future.
Our work for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, or NASA, through a subcontract relationship with Lockheed Martin Corporation on the Consolidated Space Operations Contract, or CSOC, will end in December 2003, subject to Lockheed Martin's option to purchase additional labor from us through December 31, 2004 to facilitate the transition to the replacement or follow-on contract. This contract represented approximately 13% and 14% of our revenues for the year ended December 31, 2002 on a pro forma basis and the six months ended June 30, 2003, respectively. This contract produced no gross margin for both the year ended December 31, 2002 on a pro forma basis and the six months ended June 30, 2003. We do not currently expect the revenues from this contract to be replaced in 2004 or in the foreseeable future.
Both of these events will make us a smaller company than as presented in our historical financial statements. If other important contracts are terminated or not renewed, our financial performance could be further adversely affected.
We may not receive the full amount of our backlog, which could harm our business.
Our total backlog includes both funded and unfunded orders for services under existing signed contracts, assuming the exercise of all options relating to those contracts that we reasonably believe will be exercised. Congress often appropriates funds for our clients on a yearly basis, even though their contracts with us may call for performance that is expected to take a number of years. As a result, contracts typically are only partially funded at any point during their term, and all or some of the work to be performed under the contracts may remain unfunded unless and until Congress makes subsequent appropriations and the procuring agency allocates funding to the contract.
Our backlog was approximately $743 million as of June 30, 2003, of which approximately $119 million was funded. Excluding our INS/FOS and NASA CSOC contracts from backlog, our backlog was approximately $720 million as of June 30, 2003, of which approximately $96 million was funded. As of June 30, 2003, we expected to recognize revenues from approximately 18% of our total backlog during the remaining six months of the year ended December 31, 2003. Our backlog includes orders under contracts that in some cases extend for several years, with the latest expiring at the end of calendar year 2015.
There can be no assurance that our backlog will result in actual revenues in any particular period, or at all, or that any contract included in backlog will be profitable. This is because the actual receipt and timing of any of these revenues is subject to various contingencies, many of which are beyond our control. In addition, we may never realize revenues from some of the engagements that are included in our backlog, and
20
there is a higher degree of risk in this regard with respect to unfunded backlog. The federal government's ability to select multiple winners under multiple award schedule contracts, government-wide acquisition contracts, blanket purchase agreements and other indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity, or IDIQ, contracts, as well as its right to award subsequent task orders among such multiple winners, means that there is no assurance that unfunded contract backlog will result in actual orders. The actual receipt of revenues on engagements included in backlog may never occur or may change because a program schedule could change or the program could be canceled, or a contract could be reduced, modified, or terminated early. Moreover, under multiple award schedule contracts, government wide acquisition contracts, blanket purchase agreements, and other IDIQ contracts, the government is frequently not obligated to order more than a minimum quantity of goods or services.
For example, our backlog as of December 31, 2001 included $10.9 million for a contract with a Department of Defense client that we believed at the time would continue through 2005. The contract was not renewed during 2002, and we only realized $1.1 million in pro forma revenue in 2002. This resulted in a $9.8 million reduction of our backlog during 2002 without a corresponding increase in revenue.
Loss of our prime contractor position on one or more of our contracts would impair our operating results and our ability to win new business.
We believe many of our clients have recently shown a preference for procuring services and solutions from only a limited number of contracts or schedules. If we were to lose our prime contractor position on any of our contracts, we could lose revenues and our ability to win new business and our operating results could be adversely affected.
Most of our sales are made under contracts with limited initial terms. We may expend significant resources in connection with these contracts that we may not recover if our clients do not exercise their contract options.
Our contracts typically have a one- or two-year initial term, with multiple options that are exercisable by our government clients to extend the contract for one or more years. For example, the initial term under our managed network services contract that we signed with the Federal Technology Service office of the GSA, or FTS, during 2002, was a one-year contract, with four subsequent one-year options. We cannot assure you that FTS will exercise any of their options on this contract, nor can we assure you that any of our other clients will exercise options under their contracts. Moreover, because we believe that our contracts with limited initial terms represent the early portion of longer client programs, we expend significant financial and personnel resources and expand our operations to be able to fulfill these programs beyond the initial contract term. If a significant number of our contracts are not extended beyond their initial terms, we may be unable to recover the costs we incurred, we would not recognize anticipated revenues, and our operating results would be harmed.
The loss of key members of our senior management team could impair our relationships with government clients and disrupt the management of our business.
We believe that our success depends on the continued contributions of the members of our senior management, including Ken S. Bajaj, our co-founder, Chairman, and Chief Executive Officer. We rely on our executive officers and senior management to generate business and ensure successful performance of our contracts. The loss of the services of Mr. Bajaj or one or more of our other executive officers or senior management members could have a material adverse effect on our financial performance and our ability to compete. In addition, the relationships and reputation that many members of our senior management team have established and maintain with government personnel contribute to our ability to maintain good client relations and to identify new business opportunities. Although we have employment agreements with several members of our senior management, none of these contracts provide for a specific term of employment. The
21
loss of any member of our senior management could impair our ability to identify and secure new contracts, to maintain good client relations, and to otherwise manage our business.
If we fail to attract and retain skilled employees, we might not be able to perform under our contracts, and we may lose revenues.
The growth of our business and revenues depends in large part upon our ability to attract and retain sufficient numbers of highly qualified individuals who have advanced information technology and technical services skills and who work well with our government and defense clients. For example, networking engineers and security experts are in great demand throughout our industry and are likely to remain a limited resource in the foreseeable future. If we are unable to recruit and retain a sufficient number of these employees, our ability to maintain and grow our business could be limited. If we encounter a tight labor market, as our predecessor did in the first half of the year ended December 31, 2000, we could be required to engage larger numbers of subcontractor personnel, which could cause our profit margins to suffer. In addition, some of our contracts contain provisions requiring us to staff an engagement with personnel that the client considers key to our successful performance under the contract. In the event we are unable to provide these key personnel or acceptable substitutions, the client may terminate the contract, we may not be able to recover our costs, and we may lose revenues.
We face intense competition from many competitors that have greater resources than we do, which could result in price reductions, reduced profitability, and loss of market share.
We operate in highly competitive markets and generally encounter intense competition to win contracts. For example, we must often discount our GSA schedule rates in order to secure contracts from many of our customers in competitive situations. We expect competition in our markets to increase as a result of a number of factors, including the entrance of new or larger competitors, including those formed through consolidation, who have greater financial, technical, marketing, and public relations resources, larger client bases, and greater brand or name recognition than we do. These competitors could, among other things:
- •
- divert sales from us by winning very large-scale government contracts due to different or greater technical capabilities, past performance on large-scale contracts, geographic presence, price, and the availability of key professional personnel, a risk that is enhanced by the recent trend in government procurement practices to bundle services into larger contracts;
- •
- force us to charge lower prices; and
- •
- adversely affect our relationships.
If we lose business to our competitors or are forced to lower our prices, our revenues, and our operating profits could decline.
In addition, we may face competition from our subcontractors who, from time to time, seek to obtain prime contractor status on contracts for which they currently serve as a subcontractor for us. If one or more of our current subcontractors are awarded prime contractor status on such contracts in the future, it would divert sales from us and could force us to charge lower prices.
If we are not successful in developing, or if we are delayed in introducing, new and enhanced solutions and features that keep pace with technology and our clients' needs and expectations, our sales and competitive position will suffer.
The market for our solutions is characterized by rapidly changing technologies, frequent new product introductions, increasingly complex network environments, and evolving client requirements and industry standards. In order to remain competitive, we will need to introduce on a timely basis new solutions or
22
product enhancements that offer significantly improved performance and features. We could damage our reputation and competitive position and experience reduced revenues if:
- •
- we are not able to develop new solutions;
- •
- we are delayed in introducing new or enhanced solutions, such as planned enhancements to our High Assurance Web Guard, High Assurance Web Server, and High Assurance Directory Server Solutions;
- •
- any manufacturer or supplier of equipment limits or eliminates our ability to apply TEMPEST and Zone solutions to its products and we are not able to find alternative equipment sources in a timely manner; or
- •
- we introduce new solutions which do not meet the evolving demands of our clients.
We derive significant revenues from contracts awarded through a competitive procurement process, which can impose substantial costs upon us, and negatively impact our operating results.
We derive significant revenues from federal government contracts that are awarded through a competitive procurement process. We expect that most of the government business we seek in the foreseeable future will be awarded through competitive procedures. Competitive procurements impose substantial costs and present a number of risks, including:
- •
- the substantial cost and managerial time and effort that we spend to prepare bids and proposals for contracts that may not be awarded to us; and
- •
- the expense and delay that we may face if our competitors protest or challenge contract awards made to us pursuant to competitive procedures, and the risk that any such protest or challenge could result in the resubmission of offers, or in termination, reduction, or modification of the awarded contract.
The costs we incur in the competitive procurement process may be substantial and, to the extent we participate in competitive procurements and are unable to win particular contracts, these costs could negatively affect our operating results. In addition, GSA multiple award schedule contracts, government-wide acquisitions contracts, blanket purchase agreements, and other IDIQ contracts do not guarantee more than a minimal amount of work for us, but instead provide us access to work generally through further competitive procedures. This competitive process may result in increased competition and pricing pressure, requiring that we make sustained post-award efforts to realize revenues under the relevant contract.
We may lose money on some contracts if we miscalculate the resources we need to perform under the contract.
We provide services to the federal government under three basic types of contracts: time-and-materials, fixed-price, and cost-plus. For the year ended December 31, 2002, we derived 49%, 41%, and 10% of our pro forma revenues from time-and-materials, fixed-price, and cost-plus contracts, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2003, we derived 43%, 47% and 10% of our revenues from time-and-materials, fixed-price and cost-plus contracts, respectively. Each of these types of contracts, to differing degrees, involves the risk that we could underestimate our cost of fulfilling the contract, which may reduce the profit we earn or lead to a financial loss on the contract.
For all three basic contract types, we bear varying degrees of risk associated with the assumptions we use to formulate our pricing for the work. To the extent our working assumptions prove inaccurate, we may lose money on the contract, which would adversely affect our operating results. For example, we miscalculated the costs we would incur to provide telecommunications circuits in connection with our NASA CSOC contract and, as a result, the total costs to perform under the contract exceeded the contract's fixed fee revenue.
23
Failure to maintain strong relationships with other contractors could result in a decline in our revenues.
We estimate that revenues derived from contracts in which we acted as a subcontractor to other companies represented 31% of our pro forma revenues for the year ended December 31, 2002 and 31% of our revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2003. We expect to continue to depend on relationships with other contractors for a portion of our revenues in the foreseeable future. The reduction or elimination of any of our subcontractor relationships could adversely affect our business and prospects. For example, in connection with our NASA CSOC contract, we were recently involved in litigation with Lockheed Martin Space Operations Company regarding disputed charges under the contract. Although this litigation has been settled, it could adversely affect our ability to team with Lockheed Martin Space Operations Company in the future.
If our subcontractors fail to perform their contractual obligations, our performance and reputation as a prime contractor and our ability to obtain future business could suffer.
As a prime contractor, we often rely significantly upon other companies as subcontractors to perform work we are obligated to perform for our clients. We estimate that revenues derived from work performed by our subcontractors represented 16% of our total pro forma revenues for the year ended December 31, 2002 and 19% of our revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2003. Excluding our NASA CSOC contract, we estimate that revenues derived from work performed by our subcontractors represented approximately 4% of our total pro forma revenues for the year ended December 31, 2002 and 7% of our total revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2003. If one or more of our subcontractors fail to perform satisfactorily the agreed-upon services on a timely basis, or violate government contracting policies, laws, or regulations, our ability to perform our obligations or meet our clients' expectations as a prime contractor may be compromised. In some cases, we have limited involvement in the work performed by the subcontractors but are nevertheless responsible for the work performed. In extreme cases, performance or other deficiencies on the part of our subcontractors could result in a client terminating our contract for default. A default termination could expose us to liability for the agency's costs of reprocurement, damage our reputation, and hurt our ability to compete for future contracts.
Unfavorable government audit results could subject us to a variety of penalties and sanctions, and could harm our reputation and relationships with our clients.
The federal government audits and reviews our performance on contracts, pricing practices, cost structure, and compliance with applicable laws, regulations, and standards. Like most large government contractors, our contracts are audited and reviewed on a continual basis by federal agencies, including the Defense Contract Audit Agency, or the DCAA. An unfavorable audit of us or our subcontractors could have a substantial adverse effect on our operating results. For example, any costs which were originally reimbursed could subsequently be disallowed. In this case, cash we have already collected may need to be refunded and future operating margins may be reduced.
Our incurred cost submissions have been audited by the DCAA through December 31, 2000. Costs for which we were reimbursed after January 1, 2001 may be subsequently disallowed upon the completion of future audits. In addition, non-audit review by the U.S. government may still be conducted on all of our government contracts.
If a government audit uncovers improper or illegal activities, we may be subject to civil and criminal penalties and administrative sanctions, including termination of contracts, forfeiture of profits, suspension of payments, fines, and suspension or debarment from doing business with U.S. government agencies. In addition, we could suffer serious harm to our reputation if allegations of impropriety were made against us, whether or not true.
24
The DCAA has alleged deficiencies in our written policies and procedures, which could subject us to penalties and sanctions.
In July 2002, we received a report from the DCAA that alleged deficiencies in our written policies and procedures relating to our billing system. We received an additional report from the DCAA in March 2003 that alleged deficiencies in our written policies and procedures relating to our system designed to ensure that direct and indirect costs are properly classified, charged or allocated to cost objectives in accordance with applicable laws and regulations, including the Federal Acquisition Regulations and government Cost Accounting Standards. We have formally responded to these DCAA reports and believe that we have satisfactorily resolved these issues through further documentation of our policies and procedures. Until the DCAA reevaluates our policies and procedures during its next audit, we will not know whether our efforts to correct these alleged deficiencies are adequate. Regardless of the results of subsequent audits, we believe these alleged deficiencies will be resolved without any material adverse consequences to our business. We also cannot assure you that similar issues will not arise in the future.
If the DCAA finds that our efforts to correct the alleged deficiencies are not adequate, we may be subject to penalties and sanctions, including the suspension of contract payments and preclusion from bidding on future contracts with U.S. government agencies until these deficiencies are corrected.
If we experience systems or services failures, our reputation could be harmed and our clients could assert claims against us for damages or refunds.
We create, implement, and maintain information technology solutions that are often critical to our clients' operations, some of which involve U.S. government-classified or other sensitive information and work. We have experienced and may in the future experience some systems or services failures, schedule or delivery delays, and other problems in connection with our work. If our solutions, services, or other applications have significant defects or errors, are subject to delivery delays, or fail to meet our clients' expectations, we may:
- •
- lose revenues due to adverse client reactions;
- •
- be required to provide additional services to clients at no charge;
- •
- receive negative publicity, which could damage our reputation and adversely affect our ability to attract or retain clients; or
- •
- suffer claims for substantial damages.
Many, although not all, of our contracts limit our liability for consequential damages that may arise from negligence in rendering services to our clients. We cannot assure you, however, that these contractual provisions will be legally sufficient to protect us if we are sued. In addition, our errors and omissions and product liability insurance coverage may not continue to be available on reasonable terms or in sufficient amounts to cover one or more large claims, or the insurer may disclaim coverage as to some types of claims. The successful assertion of any large claims against us could seriously harm our business. Even if not successful, these claims could result in significant legal and other costs, may be a distraction to our management, and may harm our reputation.
Security breaches in sensitive government systems could result in the loss of clients and negative publicity.
Many of the systems we develop, install, and maintain involve managing and protecting information involved in intelligence, national security, and other sensitive or classified government functions. A security breach in one of these systems could cause serious harm to our business, damage our reputation, and prevent us from being eligible for further work on sensitive or classified systems for federal government clients. We could incur losses from such a security breach that could exceed the policy limits under our errors and omissions and product liability insurance. Damage to our reputation or limitations on our eligibility for
25
additional work resulting from a security breach in one of the systems we develop, install, and maintain could materially reduce our revenues.
Our failure to obtain and maintain necessary security clearances may limit our ability to perform classified work for government clients, which could cause us to lose business.
Some government contracts require us to maintain facility security clearances, and require some of our employees to maintain individual security clearances. If our employees lose or are unable to timely obtain security clearances, or we lose a facility clearance, the government client can terminate the contract or decide not to renew it upon its expiration. As a result, to the extent we cannot obtain or maintain the required security clearances for a particular contract, or we fail to obtain them on a timely basis, we may not derive the revenues anticipated from the contract, which, if not replaced with revenues from other contracts, could harm our operating results. To the extent we are not able to obtain facility security clearances or engage employees with the required security clearances for a particular contract, we will be unable to perform that contract and we may not be able to compete for or win new contracts for similar work.
We depend on our intellectual property and our failure or inability to protect it could enable competitors to market services and solutions with similar features that may reduce demand for our services and solutions.
Our success and competitiveness are dependent to a significant degree upon the protection of our internally developed technology, proprietary processes, and other intellectual property that we utilize to provide our services and incorporate in our solutions. If we are unable to protect our intellectual property, our competitors could market services or solutions similar to our services and solutions, which could reduce demand for our offerings.
Federal government clients typically retain a perpetual, world-wide, royalty-free license to use the intellectual property we develop for them, including providing it to our competitors in connection with their performance of other federal government contracts. Federal government clients typically grant contractors the right to use and commercialize software developed with federal funding. However, if we were to improperly use intellectual property even partially funded by the federal government, the federal government could seek damages from us, sanction us, or prevent us from working on future government contracts.
We may be unable to prevent unauthorized parties from attempting to copy or otherwise obtain and use our technology. Policing unauthorized use of our technology is difficult, and we may not be able to prevent misappropriation of our technology, particularly in foreign countries where the laws may not protect our intellectual property as fully as those in the U.S. Others, including our employees, may circumvent the protections provided by trade secrets and other intellectual property that we own. Although we require our new employees to execute non-disclosure and intellectual property assignment agreements, many of our employees hired by our predecessor have not executed such agreements. In addition, these agreements may not be legally or practically sufficient to protect our rights. Litigation may be necessary to enforce our intellectual property rights, to protect our trade secrets and to determine the validity and scope of the proprietary rights of others. Any litigation could result in substantial costs and diversion of resources, with no assurance of success. If we are unable to protect our proprietary rights against unauthorized use by others, our reputation may be damaged and our competitive position may be significantly harmed.
We may be harmed by intellectual property infringement claims.
We may become subject to claims from our employees or third parties who assert that software and other forms of intellectual property that we use in delivering services and solutions to our clients infringe upon intellectual property rights of such employees or third parties. Our employees develop much of the software and other forms of intellectual property that we use to provide our services and solutions to our clients, but we also license technology from other vendors. If our vendors, our employees, or third parties assert claims
26
that we or our clients are infringing on their intellectual property, we could incur substantial costs to defend those claims. In addition, if any of these infringement claims are ultimately successful, in addition to paying damages, we could be required to do the following, each of which could entail incurring a significant expense or result in a significant reduction in revenues:
- •
- cease selling or using services or solutions that incorporate the challenged software or technology;
- •
- obtain a license or additional licenses from our vendors or other third parties; or
- •
- redesign our services and solutions that rely on the challenged software or technology.
In addition, we do not own a federal trademark registration for the DigitalNet service mark or trademark. If a third party challenges our right to use our name, we may be prevented from using the name or may be subject to other remedies sought by any such party. If a third party is successful in challenging the use of the DigitalNet name, in addition to paying damages, we could be required to change our corporate name, which could:
- •
- cause us to incur significant expense;
- •
- adversely affect our brand recognition; and
- •
- adversely affect our development of goodwill.
If we make strategic acquisitions or investments, we could assume additional liabilities or have integration problems.
One of our strategies is to pursue growth through acquisitions. While we do not currently have any commitments, agreements, or understandings to acquire any specific businesses or other material operations, we expect to consider acquisitions in the future. If we make an acquisition or investment, we may:
- •
- incur debt that would restrict our cash flow;
- •
- assume liabilities;
- •
- incur large and immediate write-offs;
- •
- experience problems combining the purchased operations, technologies or products with our business;
- •
- incur unanticipated costs;
- •
- divert management's attention from our core business;
- •
- experience risks associated with entering markets in which we have no or limited prior experience; and
- •
- lose key employees from the purchased organizations.
Risks Related to Our Industry
Changes in the spending policies or budget priorities of the federal government could cause us to lose revenues.
We derive substantially all of our revenues from contracts funded by federal government agencies. For the year ended December 31, 2002, on a pro forma basis, civilian agency clients accounted for approximately 62% of our revenues, Department of Defense clients accounted for approximately 28% of our revenues, and national security and intelligence agency clients accounted for approximately 8% of our revenues. For the six months ended June 30, 2003, civilian clients accounted for approximately 51% of our revenues, Department of Defense clients accounted for approximately 34% of our revenues, and national security and intelligence agency clients accounted for approximately 14% of our revenues. Excluding the INS/FOS and NASA CSOC contracts, for the year ended December 31, 2002, on a pro forma basis, civilian agency clients accounted for approximately 47% of our revenues, Department of Defense clients accounted for approximately 39% of our
27
revenues, and national security and intelligence clients accounted for approximately 11% of our revenues. Excluding the INS/FOS and NASA CSOC contracts, for the six months ended June 30, 2003, civilian clients accounted for approximately 43% of our revenues, Department of Defense clients accounted for approximately 39% of our revenues, and national security and intelligence agency clients accounted for approximately 17% of our revenues. We believe that contracts with federal government agencies, and defense agencies in particular, will continue to be the primary source of our revenues for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, changes in federal government fiscal or spending policies or the U.S. defense budget could directly affect our financial performance. For example, the reduction in the U.S. defense budget during the early 1990s caused some defense-related government contractors to experience decreased sales, reduced operating margins and, in some cases, net losses. Among the factors that could harm our business are:
- •
- curtailment of the federal government's use of technology services firms;
- •
- a significant decline in spending by the federal government, in general, or by specific agencies such as the Department of Defense;
- •
- reductions in federal government programs or requirements;
- •
- a shift in spending to federal programs and agencies that we do not support or where we currently do not have contracts;
- •
- delays in the payment of our invoices by government payment offices;
- •
- federal governmental shutdowns, such as the shutdown that occurred during the government's 1996 fiscal year, and other potential delays in the government appropriations process; and
- •
- general economic and political conditions, including any event that results in a change in spending priorities of the federal government.
These or other factors could cause federal government agencies and departments to reduce their purchases under contracts, to exercise their right to terminate contracts, or not to exercise options to renew contracts, any of which could cause us to lose revenues. In addition, any limitations imposed on spending by U.S. government agencies that result from efforts to reduce the federal deficit may limit both the continued funding of our existing contracts and our ability to obtain additional contracts. Our backlog consists almost exclusively of contracts with federal departments and agencies, and the continuation of these contracts, or award of additional contracts from these agencies, could be materially harmed by federal government spending reductions or budget cutbacks at these departments or agencies.
Federal government contracts contain provisions giving government clients a variety of rights that are unfavorable to us, including the ability to terminate a contract at any time for convenience.
Federal government contracts contain provisions and are subject to laws and regulations that provide government clients with rights and remedies not typically found in commercial contracts. These rights and remedies allow government clients, among other things, to:
- •
- terminate existing contracts, with short notice, for convenience, as well as for default;
- •
- reduce orders under or otherwise modify contracts;
- •
- for larger contracts subject to the Truth in Negotiations Act, reduce the contract price or cost where it was increased because a contractor or subcontractor during negotiations furnished cost or pricing data that was not complete, accurate, and current;
- •
- for GSA multiple award schedule contracts, government-wide acquisition agreements, and blanket purchase agreements, demand a refund, make a forward price adjustment, or terminate a contract for default if a contractor provided inaccurate or incomplete data during the contract negotiation process,
28
or reduce the contract price under certain triggering circumstances, including the revision of pricelists or other documents upon which the contract award was predicated, the granting of more favorable discounts or terms and conditions than those contained in such documents, and the granting of certain special discounts to certain clients;
- •
- terminate our facility security clearances and thereby prevent us from receiving classified contracts;
- •
- cancel multi-year contracts and related orders if funds for contract performance for any subsequent year become unavailable;
- •
- decline to exercise an option to renew a multi-year contract or issue task orders in connection with IDIQ contracts;
- •
- claim rights in solutions, systems, and technology produced by us;
- •
- prohibit future procurement awards with a particular agency due to a finding of organizational conflict of interest based upon prior related work performed for the agency that would give a contractor an unfair advantage over competing contractors or the existence of conflicting roles that might bias a contractor's judgment;
- •
- subject the award of contracts to protest by competitors, which may require the contracting federal agency or department to suspend our performance pending the outcome of the protest and may also result in a requirement to resubmit offers for the contract or in the termination, reduction, or modification of the awarded contract; and
- •
- suspend or debar us from doing business with the federal government.
If a federal government client terminates one of our contracts for convenience, we may recover only our incurred or committed costs, settlement expenses, and profit on work completed prior to the termination. If a federal government client were to unexpectedly terminate, cancel, or decline to exercise an option to renew with respect to one or more of our significant contracts or suspend or debar us from doing business with the federal government, our revenues and operating results would be materially harmed.
Our failure to comply with complex procurement laws and regulations could cause us to lose business and subject us to a variety of penalties.
We must comply with laws and regulations relating to the formation, administration, and performance of federal government contracts, which affect how we do business with our federal government clients and may impose added costs on our business. Among the most significant laws and regulations are:
- •
- the Federal Acquisition Regulation, and agency regulations analogous or supplemental to the Federal Acquisition Regulation, which comprehensively regulate the formation, administration, and performance of government contracts;
- •
- the Truth in Negotiations Act, which requires certification and disclosure of all cost or pricing data in connection with some contract negotiations;
- •
- the Cost Accounting Standards, which impose cost accounting requirements that govern our right to reimbursement under some cost-based government contracts; and
- •
- laws, regulations, and executive orders restricting the use and dissemination of information classified for national security purposes and the exportation of specified solutions and technical data.
If a government review or investigation uncovers improper or illegal activities, we may be subject to civil and criminal penalties and administrative sanctions, including the termination of our contracts, the forfeiture of profits, the suspension of payments owed to us, fines, and our suspension or debarment from doing business with federal government agencies. In particular, the civil False Claims Act provides for treble damages and potentially substantial civil penalties where, for example, a contractor presents a false or
29
fraudulent claim to the government for payment or approval, or makes a false statement in order to get a false or fraudulent claim paid or approved by the government. Actions under the civil False Claims Act may be brought by the government or by other persons on behalf of the government. These provisions of the civil False Claims Act permit parties, such as our employees, to sue us on behalf of the government and share a portion of any recovery. Any failure to comply with applicable laws and regulations could result in contract termination, price or fee reductions, or suspension or debarment from contracting with the government, each of which could lead to a material reduction in our revenues.
The adoption of new procurement laws or regulations could reduce the amount of services that are outsourced by the federal government and cause us to experience reduced revenues.
New legislation, procurement regulations, or labor organization pressure could cause federal agencies to adopt restrictive procurement practices regarding the use of outside information technology providers. The American Federation of Government Employees, the largest federal employee union, strongly endorses legislation that may restrict the procedure by which services are outsourced to government contractors. One such proposal, the Truthfulness, Responsibility, and Accountability in Contracting Act, or TRAC, would have effectively reduced the volume of services that is outsourced by the federal government by requiring agencies to give in-house government employees expanded opportunities to compete against contractors for work that could be outsourced. Although the TRAC legislation did not pass committee in either house of Congress last term, and it has not been reintroduced in the current term, if TRAC, or similar legislation, were to be enacted, it would likely reduce the amount of information technology services that could be outsourced by the federal government, which could materially reduce our revenues.

THE EXCHANGE OFFER
Purpose of the Exchange Offer
The old notes were delivered by us on July 3, 2003 to the initial purchasers pursuant to a purchase agreement dated June 27, 2003 between us and the initial purchasers. The initial purchasers subsequently sold the old notes to "qualified institutional buyers," as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), in reliance on Rule 144A and outside the United States in accordance with Regulation S under the Securities Act. As a condition to the initial sale of the old notes, we and the initial purchasers entered into a registration rights agreement. Pursuant to the registration rights agreement, we agreed that we would use our commercially reasonable best efforts to:
- •
- cause to be filed with the SEC as soon as practicable after July 3, 2003, but in no event later than October 1, 2003, a registration statement under the Securities Act relating to a registered exchange offer;
- •
- cause such registration statement to become effective at the earliest possible time, but in no event later than December 30, 2003; and
- •
- cause an exchange offer for the old notes to be consummated not earlier than the date that is 20 days after the date notice of the exchange offer is mailed to holders of the old notes and not later than 40 business days after the registration statement becomes effective. During this period, we agree to exchange the old notes for all new notes properly surrendered and not withdrawn before the expiration date of this period.
If we determine that a registered exchange offer is not available or may not be consummated as contemplated by the registration rights agreement because it would violate applicable law or applicable interpretations of the staff of the SEC, or the exchange offer is not for any other reason completed within 40 business days after December 30, 2003, or prior to the 20th day following the consummation of the exchange offer, the holder of an old note shall notify us that:
- •
- it is prohibited by applicable law or SEC policy from participating in the exchange offer,
- •
- it may not resell the new notes acquired by it in the exchange offer to the public without delivering a prospectus and the prospectus contained in this registration statement is not appropriate or available for such resales, and
- •
- it is a broker-dealer and holds old notes acquired directly from us and requests us to file a registration statement covering resales of the old notes,
the registration rights agreement contemplates that we will instead cause to be filed a registration statement covering resales of the old notes by their holders (a "shelf registration statement") and will use our reasonable best efforts to keep that shelf registration statement effective until the earlier of two years after the effective date of that shelf registration statement and such time as all of the applicable old notes have been sold thereunder. We will, in the event a shelf registration statement is filed, provide to each holder of an old note covered by that shelf registration copies of the related prospectus and notify each such holder when that shelf registration statement becomes effective. A holder that sells old notes pursuant to a shelf registration statement generally will be required to be named as a selling security holder in the related prospectus and to deliver a current prospectus to purchasers, and will be subject to certain of the civil liability provides under the Securities Act in connection with these sales. We will be entitled to require any holder that wishes to include old notes in a shelf registration statement to furnish us with information regarding that holder and its proposed distribution of the old notes and we may exclude from a shelf registration statement the old notes of any holder that does not comply with our request.
31
Under the registration rights agreement, if:
- •
- an exchange offer is not completed or a registration statement with respect to the old notes is not filed or declared effective each within the timeframe set forth in the registration rights agreements, or
- •
- any registration statement with respect to the old notes is filed and declared effective but thereafter ceases to be effective or fails to be usable for its intended purpose without being succeeded immediately by a post-effective amendment to such registration statement that cures such failure and that is itself immediately declared effective,
we are required to pay liquidated damages in each case until the exchange offer is completed, the registration statement is filed or declared effective, as applicable. With respect to the first 90 days of such registration default, we are required to pay liquidated damages of $0.05 per week per $1,000 principal amount of old notes outstanding. The amount of the liquidated damages will increase by an additional $0.05 per week per $1,000 principal amount of the old notes outstanding with respect to each subsequent 90-day period until all registration defaults have been cured, up to a maximum amount of liquidated damages for all registration defaults of $0.385 per week per $1,000 principal amount of the old notes outstanding.
Terms of the Exchange Offer
For each of the old notes properly surrendered and not withdrawn before the expiration date, we will issue a new note having a principal amount equal to that of the surrendered old note.
The form and terms of the new notes will be the same as the form and terms of the old notes except that the new notes will be registered for the exchange offer under the Securities Act and, therefore, the new notes will not bear legends restricting the transfer of the new notes; and holders of the new notes will not be entitled to any of the registration rights of the holders of old notes under the registration rights agreement, which will terminate upon the consummation of the exchange offer.
The new notes will evidence the same indebtedness as the old notes, which they replace, and will be issued under, and be entitled to the benefits of, the same indenture, which authorized the issuance of the old notes. As a result, both the old notes and new notes will be treated as a single class of notes under the indenture.
We intend to conduct the exchange offer in accordance with the provisions of the registration rights agreement and the applicable requirements of the Securities Exchange Act and the related SEC rules and regulations.
Under existing SEC interpretations, the new notes would generally be freely transferable after the exchange offer without further registration under the Securities Act, except that broker-dealers receiving the new notes in the exchange offer will be subject to a prospectus delivery requirement with respect to resale of those new notes. We base our view on interpretations by the staff of the SEC in no-action letters issued to other issuers in exchange offers like ours. We have not, however, asked the SEC to consider this particular exchange offer in the context of a no-action letter. Therefore, holders of old notes cannot be sure that the SEC will treat the exchange offer in the same way it has treated other exchange offers in the past.
In addition, any broker-dealer who holds old notes acquired for its own account as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities (a "participating broker-dealer") who exchanges those old notes for new notes in the exchange offer must deliver a prospectus meeting the requirements of the Securities Act in connection with any resale of those new notes. We understand that the staff of the SEC has taken the position that participating broker-dealers may fulfill their prospectus delivery requirements with respect to new notes, other than a resale of an unsold allotment from the initial offering of the old notes, with the prospectus contained in the applicable exchange offer registration statement. Under the registration rights agreement, for a period of 180 days following the expiration date of the exchange offer with respect to the notes covered by an exchange offer registration statement, participating broker-dealers will be entitled to use
32
this prospectus in connection with the resale of new notes subject to exceptions, including our right to suspend the use of that prospectus as described below.
If we file a shelf registration statement with respect to any notes, we will be entitled from time to time to require holders of those notes to discontinue the sale or other disposition of those notes pursuant to that shelf registration statement.
Expiration Date; Extensions; Amendments
The term "expiration date" shall mean 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on , 2003, unless we, in our sole discretion, extend the exchange offer, in which case the term "expiration date" shall mean the latest date and time to which the exchange offer is extended.
If we determine to extend the exchange offer, we will, prior to 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the next business day after the previously scheduled expiration date:
- •
- notify the exchange agent of any extension by oral or written notice;
- •
- and issue a press release or other public announcement which shall include disclosure of the approximate number of old notes deposited to date.
We reserve the right, in our sole discretion:
- •
- to delay accepting any old notes;
- •
- to extend the exchange offer; or
- •
- if, in the opinion of our counsel, the consummation of the exchange offer would violate any applicable law, rule or regulation or any applicable interpretation of the staff of the SEC, to terminate or amend the exchange offer by giving oral or written notice of such delay, extension, termination or amendment to the exchange agent. Any such delay in acceptance, extension, termination or amendment will be followed as promptly as practicable by a press release or other public announcement thereof.
If the exchange offer is amended in a manner determined by us to constitute a material change, we will promptly disclose such amendment by means of a prospectus supplement that will be distributed to the registered holders of the old notes, and we will extend the exchange offer for a period of five to ten business days, depending upon the significance of the amendment and the manner of disclosure to the holders, if the exchange offer would otherwise expire during such five to ten business day period.
Without limiting the manner in which we may choose to make a public announcement of any delay, extension, amendment or termination of the exchange offer, we shall have no obligation to publish, advertise, or otherwise communicate any such public announcement, other than by making a timely release to an appropriate news agency.
Interest on the New Notes
The new notes will accrue interest at the rate of 9% per annum from July 3, 2003, payable semi-annually in arrears on January 15 and July 15 of each year, commencing on January 15, 2004.
Resale of the New Notes
With respect to the new notes, based upon interpretations by the staff of the SEC set forth in certain no-action letters issued to third parties, we believe that a holder who exchanges old notes for new notes in the ordinary course of business, who is not participating, does not intend to participate, and has no arrangement or understanding with any person to participate in a distribution of the new notes, and who is not an "affiliate" of ours within the meaning of Rule 405 of the Securities Act, will be allowed to resell new notes
33
to the public without further registration under the Securities Act and without delivering to the purchasers of the new notes a prospectus that satisfies the requirements of Section 10 of the Securities Act.
If any holder acquires new notes in the exchange offer for the purpose of distributing or participating in the distribution of the new notes, such holder:
- •
- cannot rely on the position of the staff of the SEC enumerated in such no-action letters issued to third parties; and
- •
- must comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act in connection with any resale transaction, unless an exemption from registration is otherwise available.
Each broker-dealer that receives new notes for its own account in exchange for old notes acquired by such broker-dealer as a result of market-making or other trading activities must acknowledge that it will deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale of such new notes. The letter of transmittal states that by so acknowledging and by delivering a prospectus, a broker-dealer will not be deemed to admit that it is an "underwriter" within the meaning of the Securities Act. This prospectus, as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time, may be used by a broker-dealer in connection with resales of any new notes received in exchange for old notes acquired by such broker-dealer as a result of market-making or other trading activities. We will make this prospectus, as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time, available to any such broker-dealer that requests copies of such prospectus in the letter of transmittal for use in connection with any such resale for a period of up to 180 days after the expiration date. See "Plan of Distribution."
Procedures for Tendering
To tender in the exchange offer, a holder of old notes must either:
- •
- complete, sign and date the letter of transmittal or facsimile thereof, have the signatures thereon guaranteed if required by the letter of transmittal, and mail or otherwise deliver such letter of transmittal or such facsimile to the exchange agent; or
- •
- if such old notes are tendered pursuant to the procedures for book-entry transfer set forth below, a holder tendering old notes may transmit an agent's message (as defined below) to the exchange agent in lieu of the letter of transmittal,
in either case for receipt on or prior to the expiration date.
In addition:
- •
- certificates for such old notes must be received by the exchange agent along with the letter of transmittal;
- •
- a timely confirmation of a book-entry transfer (a "book-entry confirmation") of such old notes into the exchange agent's account at DTC pursuant to the procedure for book-entry transfer described below, along with the letter of transmittal or an agent's message, as the case may be, must be received by the exchange agent on or prior to the expiration date; or
- •
- the holder must comply with the guaranteed delivery procedures described below.
The term "agent's message" means a message, transmitted to the exchange agent's account at DTC and received by the exchange agent and forming a part of the book-entry confirmation, which states that such account has received an express acknowledgment from the tendering participant that such participant has received and agrees to be bound by the letter of transmittal and that we may enforce the letter of transmittal against such participant. To be tendered effectively, the letter of transmittal and other required documents, or an agent's message in lieu thereof, must be received by the exchange agent at the address set forth below under "—Exchange Agent" prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the expiration date.
34
The tender by a holder that is not withdrawn prior to the expiration date will constitute an agreement between such holder and us in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein and in the letter of transmittal.
The method of delivery of old notes, the letter of transmittal and all other required documents to the exchange agent is at the election and risk of the holder. Instead of delivery by mail, it is recommended that holders use an overnight or hand delivery service, properly insured. In all cases, sufficient time should be allowed to assure delivery to the exchange agent before the expiration date. Do not send the letter of transmittal or any old notes to us. Holders may request their respective brokers, dealers, commercial banks, trust companies or nominees to effect the above transactions for such holders.
Any beneficial owner(s) of the old notes whose old notes are held through a broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee and who wishes to tender should contact such intermediary promptly and instruct such intermediary to tender on such beneficial owner's behalf. If such beneficial owner wishes to tender on its own behalf, such owner must, prior to completing and executing the letter of transmittal and delivering such owner's old notes:
- •
- make appropriate arrangements to register ownership of the old notes in such owner's name; or
- •
- obtain a properly completed bond power from the registered holder.
The transfer of registered ownership may take considerable time.
Signatures on a letter of transmittal or a notice of withdrawal described below (see "—Withdrawal of Tenders"), as the case may be, must be guaranteed by an eligible institution unless the old notes tendered pursuant thereto are tendered:
- •
- by a registered holder who has not completed either the box entitled "Special Issuance Instructions" or the box entitled "Special Delivery Instructions" on the letter of transmittal; or
- •
- for the account of an eligible institution.
In the event that signatures on a letter of transmittal or a notice of withdrawal, as the case may be, are required to be guaranteed, such guarantee must be made by an eligible institution, which is a member firm of a registered national securities exchange or of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc., a commercial bank or trust company having an office or correspondent in the United States, or an "eligible guarantor institution" (within the meaning of Rule 17Ad-15 under the Exchange Act) which is a member of one of the recognized signature guarantee programs identified in the letter of transmittal.
If the letter of transmittal is signed by a person other than the registered holder of any old notes listed therein, such old notes must be endorsed or accompanied by a properly completed bond power, signed by such registered holder exactly as such registered holder's name appears on such old notes.
In connection with any tender of old notes in definitive certificated form, if the letter of transmittal or any old notes or bond powers are signed by trustees, executors, administrators, guardians, attorneys-in-fact, officers of corporations or others acting in a fiduciary or representative capacity, such persons should so indicate when signing, and, unless waived by us, evidence satisfactory to us of their authority to so act must be submitted with the letter of transmittal.
The exchange agent and DTC have confirmed that any financial institution that is a participant in DTC's system may utilize DTC's Automated Tender Offer Program to tender old notes.
All questions as to the validity, form, eligibility (including time of receipt), acceptance and withdrawal of tendered old notes will be determined by us in our sole discretion, which determination will be final and binding. We reserve the absolute right:
- •
- to reject any and all old notes not properly tendered and any old notes our acceptance of which would, in the opinion of our counsel, be unlawful; and
- •
- to waive any defects, irregularities or conditions of tender as to particular old notes.
35
Our interpretation of the terms and conditions of the exchange offer (including the instructions in the letter of transmittal) will be final and binding on all parties. Unless waived, any defects or irregularities in connection with tenders of old notes must be cured within such time as we shall determine. Although we intend to notify holders of defects or irregularities in connection with tenders of old notes, neither we, the exchange agent nor any other person shall incur any liability for failure to give such notification. Tenders of old notes will not be deemed to have been made until such defects or irregularities have been cured or waived.
While we have no present plan to acquire any old notes that are not tendered in the exchange offer or to file a registration statement to permit resales of any old notes that are not tendered pursuant to the exchange offer, we reserve the right in our sole discretion to purchase or make offers for any old notes that remain outstanding subsequent to the expiration date and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, purchase old notes in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. The terms of any such purchases or offers could differ from the terms of the exchange offer.
By tendering old notes pursuant to the exchange offer, each holder of old notes will represent to us that, among other things:
- •
- the new notes to be acquired by such holder of old notes in connection with the exchange offer are being acquired by such holder in the ordinary course of business of such holder;
- •
- such holder is not participating, does not intend to participate, and has no arrangement or understanding with any person to participate in the distribution (within the meaning of the Securities Act) of the new notes;
- •
- such holder acknowledges and agrees that any person who is participating in the exchange offer for the purpose of distributing the new notes must comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act in connection with a secondary resale of the new notes acquired by such person and cannot rely on the position of the staff of the SEC set forth in certain no-action letters;
- •
- such holder understands that a secondary resale transaction, described above, and any resales of new notes obtained by such holder in exchange for old notes acquired by such holder directly from us should be covered by an effective registration statement containing the selling security holder information required by Item 507 or Item 508, as applicable, of Regulation S-K of the SEC; and
- •
- such holder is not an "affiliate," as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act, of ours.
If the holder is a broker-dealer that will receive new notes for such holder's own account in exchange for old notes that were acquired as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities, such holder will be required to acknowledge in the letter of transmittal that such holder will deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale of such new notes; however, by so acknowledging and by delivering a prospectus, such holder will not be deemed to admit that it is an "underwriter" within the meaning of the Securities Act.
Return of Old Notes
In all cases, issuance of new notes for old notes that are accepted for exchange pursuant to the exchange offer will be made only after timely receipt by the exchange agent of:
- •
- old notes or a timely book-entry confirmation of such old notes into the exchange agent's account at DTC; and
- •
- a properly completed and duly executed letter of transmittal and all other required documents, or an agent's message in lieu thereof.
If any tendered old notes are not accepted for any reason set forth in the terms and conditions of the exchange offer or if old notes are withdrawn or are submitted for a greater principal amount than the holders
36
desire to exchange, such unaccepted, withdrawn or otherwise non-exchanged old notes will be returned without expense to the tendering holder thereof (or, in the case of old notes tendered by book-entry transfer into the exchange agent's account at DTC pursuant to the book-entry transfer procedures described below, such old notes will be credited to an account maintained with DTC) as promptly as practicable.
Book-Entry Transfer
The exchange agent will make a request to establish an account with respect to the old notes at DTC for purposes of the exchange offer within two business days after the date of this prospectus, and any financial institution that is a participant in DTC may make book-entry delivery of old notes by causing DTC to transfer such old notes into the exchange agent's account at DTC in accordance with DTC's procedures for transfer. However, although delivery of old notes may be effected through book-entry transfer at DTC, the letter of transmittal or facsimile thereof, with any required signature guarantees and any other required documents, or an agent's message in lieu of a letter of transmittal, must, in any case, be transmitted to and received by the exchange agent at the address set forth below under "—Exchange Agent" on or prior to the expiration date or pursuant to the guaranteed delivery procedures described below.
Guaranteed Delivery Procedures
If a holder of the old notes desires to tender such old notes and the old notes are not immediately available or the holder cannot deliver its old notes (or complete the procedures for book-entry transfer), the letter of transmittal or any other required documents to the exchange agent prior to the expiration date, a holder may effect a tender if:
- •
- the tender is made through an eligible institution;
- •
- prior to the expiration date, the exchange agent receives from such eligible institution (by facsimile transmission, mail or hand delivery) a properly completed and duly executed Notice of Guaranteed Delivery substantially in the form provided by us setting forth the name and address of the holder, the certificate number(s) of such old notes (if applicable) and the principal amount of old notes tendered, stating that the tender is being made thereby and guaranteeing that, within three New York Stock Exchange trading days after the expiration date:
- (i)
- the letter of transmittal (or a facsimile thereof), or an agent's message in lieu thereof,
- (ii)
- the certificate(s) representing the old notes in proper form for transfer or a book-entry confirmation, as the case may be, and
- (iii)
- any other documents required by the letter of transmittal,
will be deposited by the eligible institution with the exchange agent; and
- •
- such properly executed letter of transmittal (or facsimile thereof), or an agent's message in lieu thereof, as well as the certificate(s) representing all tendered old notes in proper form for transfer or a book-entry confirmation, as the case may be, and all other documents required by the letter of transmittal, are received by the exchange agent within three New York Stock Exchange trading days after the expiration date.
Upon request to the exchange agent, a form of Notice of Guaranteed Delivery will be sent to holders who wish to tender their old notes according to the guaranteed delivery procedures set forth above.
Withdrawal of Tenders
Except as otherwise provided herein, tenders of old notes may be withdrawn at any time prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the expiration date.
37
To withdraw a tender of old notes in the exchange offer, a written or facsimile transmission notice of withdrawal must be received by the exchange agent at its address set forth herein prior to the expiration date. Any such notice of withdrawal must:
- •
- specify the name of the person having deposited the old notes to be withdrawn;
- •
- identify the old notes to be withdrawn (including the certificate number or numbers, if applicable, and principal amount of such old notes or, in the case of old notes transferred by a book-entry transfer, the name and number of the account at DTC to be credited); and
- •
- be signed by the holder in the same manner as the original signature on the letter of transmittal by which such old notes were tendered (including any required signature guarantees or, in the case of old notes transferred by book-entry transfer, be transmitted by DTC and received by the exchange agent in the same manner as the agent's message transferring the old notes).
If old notes have been tendered pursuant to the procedure for book-entry transfer described above, any notice of withdrawal must specify the name and number of the account at DTC to be credited with the withdrawn old notes and otherwise comply with the procedures of DTC. All questions as to the validity, form and eligibility (including time of receipt) of such notices will be determined by us, in our sole discretion, which determination shall be final and binding on all parties.
Any old notes so withdrawn will be deemed not to have been validly tendered for purposes of the exchange offer, and no new notes will be issued with respect thereto, unless the old notes so withdrawn are validly retendered. Properly withdrawn old notes may be retendered by following one of the procedures described above under "—Procedures for Tendering" at any time prior to the expiration date.
Exchange Agent
Wells Fargo Bank Minnesota, National Association has been appointed as exchange agent for the exchange offer. Questions and requests for assistance, requests for additional copies of this prospectus or the letter of transmittal and requests for a copy of the Notice of Guaranteed Delivery should be directed to the exchange agent addressed as follows:

Fees and Expenses
The expenses of soliciting tenders will be borne by us. The principal solicitation is being made by mail. Additional solicitation may be made by facsimile transmission, telephone or other electronic means or in person by our officers and regular employees or those of our affiliates.
We have not retained any dealer-manager in connection with the exchange offer and will not make any payments to brokers, dealers or others soliciting acceptances of the exchange offer. We, however, will pay the exchange agent reasonable and customary fees for its services and will reimburse it for its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in connection therewith.
38
The expenses to be incurred in connection with the exchange offer, including registration fees, fees and expenses of the exchange agent and the trustee, accounting and legal fees, and printing costs, will be paid by us.
We will pay all transfer taxes, if any, applicable to the exchange of old notes pursuant to the exchange offer. If, however, a transfer tax is imposed for any reason other than the exchange of the old notes pursuant to the exchange offer, then the amount of any such transfer taxes (whether imposed on the registered holder or any other persons) will be payable by the tendering holder. If satisfactory evidence of payment of such taxes or exemption therefrom is not submitted with the letter of transmittal, the amount of such transfer taxes will be billed directly to such tendering holder.
Consequence of Failure to Exchange
Participation in the exchange offer is voluntary. Holders of the old notes are urged to consult their financial and tax advisors in making their own decisions on what action to take.
Old notes that are not exchanged for the new notes pursuant to the exchange offer will remain "restricted securities" within the meaning of Rule 144(a)(3) under the Securities Act. Accordingly, such old notes may not be offered, sold, pledged or otherwise transferred except:
- •
- to a person whom the seller reasonably believes is a "qualified institutional buyer" within the meaning of Rule 144A purchasing for its own account or for the account of a qualified institutional buyer in a transaction meeting the requirements of Rule 144A;
- •
- in an offshore transaction complying with Rule 904 of Regulation S under the Securities Act;
- •
- to an institutional "accredited investor" as defined by Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) under the Securities Act after furnishing the trustee with a signed letter containing certain representations and warranties;
- •
- pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Securities Act provided by Rule 144 thereunder (if available);
- •
- pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act; or
pursuant to another available exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, and, in each case, in accordance with all other applicable securities laws.

- On November 26, 2002, we acquired all of the membership interests of Getronics Government Solutions, L.L.C. (now DigitalNet Government Solutions, LLC or DGS). Our results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2002 include the operating results of DGS from November 26, 2002 through December 31, 2002 along with that of DigitalNet Holdings, Inc. for the entire year ended December 31, 2002

- The pro forma as adjusted statement of operations data gives effect to (i) the DGS acquisition and the related financing transactions, (ii) the sale of the old notes and the application of proceeds thereafter to repay indebtedness, (iii) the 2003 Credit Facility, and (iv) the exchange offer as if each of the transactions had occurred on January 1, 2002. See "Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Information" for a detailed discussion of the pro forma as adjusted statement of operations data.

- On January 1, 2002, DGS adopted SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" which requires that goodwill no longer be amortized. If SFAS No. 142 had been effective for the years ended December 31, 2000 and 2001, net income would have increased by approximately $5.4 million and $4.2 million, respectively, resulting in net income of approximately $7.2 million and $22.5 million, respectively.

- EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) plus interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. Our method of computation may or may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures used by other companies. EBITDA is presented because we believe EBITDA is a meaningful indicator that can be used by investors to analyze and compare our operating performance to the operating performance of other companies. However, EBITDA should not be construed as an alternative to net income (loss) as determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, as an indicator of our operating performance or as an alternative to cash flows as a measure of liquidity. A reconciliation of net income (loss) to EBITDA is as follows (dollars in thousands):

Because our performance under the INS/FOS contract ended November 30, 2002, our performance under the NASA CSOC contract will end on December 31, 2003, and we exited the GSA Product Catalogue business in 1999, management believes that revenues, as adjusted, presents investors with a meaningful depiction of our ongoing business at the date of the DGS acquisition.

- EBITDA, as adjusted, represents EBITDA as set forth above, less gross profit associated with our INS/FOS contract, our NASA CSOC contract, and our GSA Product Catalogue business, plus stock-based compensation and acquisiton and related expenses. Our method of computation may or may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures used by other companies. EBITDA, as adjusted, should not be construed as either an alternative to net income, as determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, as an indicator of our operating performance or as an alternative to cash flows as a measure of liquidity. Gross profit associated with our INS/FOS contract and our NASA CSOC contract represents the amount by which revenues associated with these contracts

exceeds the costs of revenues associated with these contracts. Because our performance under the INS/FOS contract ended November 30, 2002, our performance under the NASA CSOC contract will end on December 31, 2003, and we exited our GSA Product Catalogue business in 1999, management believes that EBITDA, as adjusted, presents investors with a meaningful depiction of our ongoing business at the date of the DGS acquisition. We have also excluded stock-based compensation from EBITDA, as adjusted, because our predecessor did not incur similar expenses due to the nature of its ownership and management believes that such presentation provides greater comparability for our results of operations to the prior periods presented for our predecessor. In addition, we have excluded acquisition and related expenses from EBITDA, as adjusted, because management believes that such expenses were non-recurring as they relate to transactions in the period prior to or concurrent with the commencement of substantive operations upon the acquisition of DGS.

- For purposes of determining the ratio of earnings to fixed charges, earnings are defined as income before income taxes plus fixed charges. Fixed charges consist of interest expense, including amortization of deferred financing fees and debt discounts, and a portion of operating lease rental expense estimated to be representative of interest. Earnings of DigitalNet for the period from September 7, 2001 (inception) through December 31, 2001, the year ended December 31, 2002, and the six months ended June 30, 2002 were not sufficient to cover fixed charges. The deficiency was approximately $698,000 for the period from September 7, 2001 (inception) through December 31, 2001, approximately $1.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2002, and approximately $1.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002.

- Capital expenditures on a pro forma as adjusted basis, represent the sum of capital expenditures for DGS for the period from January 1, 2002 through November 25, 2002 and for DigitalNet for the year ended December 31, 2002.

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
On November 26, 2002, we acquired all of the membership interests of DigitalNet Government Solutions, LLC (DGS, formerly Getronics Government Solutions, L.L.C.). The DGS results of operations have been included in our consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2002 from the date of acquisition. At closing, consideration for the acquisition consisted of 33,500 shares of Class B Preferred Stock and $183.4 million in cash. This consideration was subject to adjustment based upon a final determination of the amount of net working capital, depreciable assets and accrued contract losses, as defined, as of the date of acquisition. As a result of a February 2003 settlement agreement with the seller, we were required to pay approximately $8.3 million in cash as additional consideration, primarily as a result of the net working capital adjustment. We have included the additional consideration in the determination of the aggregate purchase price for the acquisition.
The acquisition of DGS was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. The purchase method of accounting allocates the aggregate purchase price to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their respective fair values. The excess of purchase price over the fair value of tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired, net of liabilities assumed, has been reflected as goodwill. We believe that the preliminary allocation of the purchase price is reasonable; however, in some cases the final allocations will be based upon valuations and other studies that are not yet complete. As a result, the allocation is subject to revision as additional information becomes available, and such revised allocation could differ from the preliminary allocation.
The acquisition of DGS and the related transaction costs were financed through the following transactions:
- •
- proceeds of approximately $63.6 million from the issuance of 3,322,431 shares of common stock and 61,376 shares of Class A Preferred Stock;
- •
- proceeds of approximately $44.0 million from the subordinated bridge note and the issuance of warrants to purchase our common stock;
- •
- proceeds of approximately $80.0 million from the term loan portion of our senior credit facility; and
- •
- proceeds of approximately $2.9 million from the revolving portion of our senior credit facility.
The unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2002 gives effect to the acquisition of DGS and the related financing transactions as if the transactions had occurred on January 1, 2002.
The unaudited pro forma as adjusted consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2002 also gives effect to the sale of the old notes and certain related transactions, as if they had occurred on January 1, 2002, as follows:
- •
- the sale of the old notes and the application of proceeds thereafter to repay indebtedness as described under "Use of Proceeds;"
- •
- the termination of our previous senior credit facility and obtaining our 2003 Credit Facility; and
- •
- the exchange offer.
The unaudited pro forma as adjusted consolidated statement of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2003 gives effect to the offering of the old notes and the application of proceeds thereafter to repay indebtedness, the 2003 Credit Facility and the exchange offer, as if they had occurred on January 1, 2002.
47
In connection with the sale of the old notes and the termination of our previous credit facility, we will record the following one-time charge in our financial statements during the three months ended September 30, 2003:
- •
- the write-off, of approximately $4.4 million of previously deferred financing costs and debt discounts net of the related income tax benefit of $1.7 million, related to the debt repaid and the termination of our previous revolving credit facility.
Because this charge is non-recurring in nature, we have not given effect to it in the pro forma as adjusted consolidated statements of operations.
The unaudited pro forma consolidated statements of operations are based upon currently available information, assumptions, and estimates which we believe are reasonable. These assumptions and estimates, however, are subject to change. In our opinion, all adjustments have been made that are necessary to present fairly the pro forma data. The unaudited pro forma consolidated statements of operations are presented for informational purposes only and are not indicative of either future results of operations or results that might have been achieved if the transactions had been consummated as of January 1, 2002. The pro forma consolidated statements of operations should be read in connection with our historical consolidated financial statements and those of DGS, together with the related notes thereto, that are included elsewhere in this prospectus.

DigitalNet Holdings, Inc.
Notes to Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Statement of Operations
- (A)
- On November 26, 2002, we acquired all of the membership interests of DGS. Our results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2002 include the operating results of DGS from November 26, 2002 through December 31, 2002 along with our operating results for the entire year ended December 31, 2002.
- (B)
- Reflects the elimination of the pension and post-retirement medical and life insurance expense recognized by DGS in its historical financial statements. Immediately prior to the acquisition, DGS transferred all liabilities and assets related to these plans to its former parent, GetronicsWang Co., LLC.

|
The lives represent management's estimates of the expected useful lives. Our estimates are based upon currently available information and assumptions that we believe are reasonable. However, there can be no assurance that the actual lives will not differ significantly from these estimates.
- (D)
- Reflects additional interest expense on the indebtedness incurred to finance the acquisition of DGS. The adjustment includes the following (dollars in thousands):
| | Year ended December 31, 2002
| |
---|
Interest on revolving credit facility (assumed weighted average interest rate of 5.1%) | | $ | (133 | ) |

Amortization of deferred financing costs | | | (2,942 | ) |
| |
| |
| | $ | (13,609 | ) |
| |
| |
- (E)
- Reflects the incremental provision (benefit) for state and federal income taxes.
- (F)
- Reflects additional dividends on Class A Preferred Stock issued to finance the acquisition of DGS and Class B Preferred Stock issued as consideration in the purchase of DGS and eliminates the one-time accretion to record the Class A Preferred Stock at its redemption value recognized in the DigitalNet
51
Holdings, Inc. historical financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2002. The adjustment includes the following (dollars in thousands):
| | Year ended December 31, 2002
| |
---|
Dividends on Class A Preferred Stock at 6.0% | | $ | (3,403 | ) |
Dividends on Class B Preferred Stock at 6.0% | | | (1,857 | ) |
Accretion on Class A Preferred Stock | | | 11,190 | |
| |
| |
| | $ | 5,930 | |
| |
| |
- (G)
- The basic weighted average common shares outstanding reflects the issuance of 2,371,025 shares of common stock issued in connection with the financing of our acquisition of DGS, as if the shares had been issued on January 1, 2002. The basic weighted average common shares also includes the effect of 676,666 shares of carried stock issued in connection with the financing of our acquisition of DGS as if such shares had been issued on January 1, 2002, with assumed vesting beginning on January 1, 2002.
A reconciliation of the historical basic weighted average shares outstanding to the basic weighted average shares outstanding is as follows:
| | Year ended December 31, 2002
|
---|
Historical basic weighted average shares outstanding | | 2,421,324 |
Common stock issued on connection with the DGS acquisition | | 2,130,674 |
Vested carried stock issued in connection with the DGS acquisition | | 298,824 |
| |
|
Pro forma and pro forma as adjusted basic weighted average shares outstanding | | 4,850,822 |
| |
|
- (H)
- The calculation of diluted weighted average common shares outstanding reflects:
- •
- the treasury stock effect of warrants to purchase 94,868 shares of common stock as if such warrants had been issued on January 1, 2002; and
- •
- the treasury stock effect of unvested shares of reserved stock and carried stock issued prior to our acquisition of DGS and unvested shares of restricted stock issued to other employees in 2002 (restricted stock) based upon their respective issue dates.
A reconciliation of the basic weighted average shares outstanding to the diluted weighted average shares outstanding is as follows:
| | Year ended December 31, 2002
|
---|
Pro forma and pro forma as adjusted basic weighted average shares outstanding | | 4,850,822 |
Treasury stock effect of warrants | | 94,085 |
Treasury stock effect of unvested shares of reserved stock and carried stock issued prior to the acquisition of DGS and unvested shares of restricted stock | | 252,096 |
| |
|
Pro forma and pro forma as adjusted diluted weighted average shares outstanding | | 5,197,003 |
| |
|
The treasury stock effect of 532,167 unvested shares as of December 31, 2002 of reserved stock and carried stock issued in connection with the DGS acquisition have not been included in the calculation of the diluted weighted average shares outstanding because such effect is anti-dilutive.
- (I)
- Reflects the reduction of interest expense as a result of the repayment of $80.0 million of the term loan facility, $44.0 million of the subordinated bridge facility and borrowings under the revolving credit facility with the proceeds from the sale of the old notes. Also reflects the incremental interest expense as a result of the sale of the old notes, the interest related to the 2003 Credit Facility, and the deferred
52
financing costs related the old notes, the 2003 Credit Facility and the exchange offer (dollars in thousands).

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
You should read the following discussion of the financial condition and results of operations of DigitalNet Holdings, Inc. and its predecessor, Getronics Government Solutions, L.L.C., in conjunction with their respective consolidated financial statements and the related notes, "Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Information" and "Selected Financial Data" included elsewhere in this prospectus. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. For additional information regarding some of the risks and uncertainties that affect our business and the industry in which we operate and that apply to an investment in our common stock, please read "Risk Factors."
Overview
We are a leading provider of managed network services, information security solutions, and application development and integration services to U.S. defense, intelligence, and civilian federal government agencies as measured by our revenues. Our comprehensive information technology services and solutions allow our federal government clients to outsource some or all of the activities relating to the design, implementation, integration, management, and security of their computer networks and systems. We are focused on increasing network reliability, reducing overall network costs, and simplifying timely migration of mission critical network computing environments to new technologies.
In November 2002, we purchased Getronics Government Solutions, L.L.C., for $216.9 million of consideration, consisting of $183.4 million in cash and shares of our Class B Preferred Stock with an aggregate liquidation preference of $33.5 million. The cash portion of the purchase price and associated transaction costs were financed by a $63.6 million investment in our common stock and Class A Preferred Stock by GTCR, Ken S. Bajaj and Jack Pearlstein and their family entities, a $44.0 million bridge loan provided by Banc of America Mezzanine Capital LLC under our senior subordinated bridge facility, and approximately $82.9 million of borrowings under our $105.0 million senior credit facility.
On July 3, 2003, we applied the net proceeds from the sale of the old notes to repay the indebtedness under our subordinated bridge facility and our senior credit facility. Concurrent with the completion of the offering of the old notes, we entered into our 2003 Credit Facility, which provides us with up to $50.0 million in borrowings under a senior secured revolving credit facility.
Our total backlog was approximately $792 million as of December 31, 2002, of which approximately $109 million was funded, and was approximately $743 million as of June 30, 2003, of which approximately $119 million was funded. Excluding our NASA CSOC contract, our total backlog was approximately $744 million and our funded backlog was approximately $97 million as of December 31, 2002 and our total backlog was approximately $720 million and our funded backlog was approximately $96 million as of June 30, 2003. We expect to realize the remaining approximately $23 million of the backlog associated with our NASA CSOC contract as of June 30, 2003 as revenue during the last six months of 2003. After utilization of the $5.3 million loss accrual that has been established for the NASA CSOC contract, we estimate that there will be no gross margin on this contract during the year ended December 31, 2003. We utilized $1.8 million of this accrual in the six months ended June 30, 2003. Our backlog provides us with significant visibility and allows us to better manage our business. We review our backlog on a monthly basis to determine if any adjustments are necessary. Each year a significant portion of our revenues is derived from our total backlog, and a significant portion of our backlog represents work related to the continuation of managed network services and solutions under contracts or projects where we are the incumbent provider. We hold a number of contracts that provide for multiyear revenues. These contracts generate revenues over an initial base period, with one or more subsequent option periods, which may or may not be exercised by our customers. Revenues generated over a base period may or may not exceed the revenues generated over the sum of the option periods.
54
Contracts funded by U.S. government agencies account for substantially all of our revenues. The pricing environment for our products and services has not fluctuated significantly over the past three years. For the year ended December 31, 2002 and the six months ended June 30, 2003, we derived 69% of our pro forma revenues and 69% of our revenues, respectively, from contracts in which we acted as the prime contractor. We enter into three basic types of contracts: time-and-materials, fixed-price, and cost-plus.
Certain revenues and payments we receive are based on provisional billings and payments that are subject to adjustment under audit. U.S. government agencies and departments have the right to challenge our cost estimates and allocation methodologies with respect to government contracts. In addition, contracts with such agencies are subject to audit and possible adjustment to give effect to unallowable costs under cost-plus contracts or to other regulatory requirements affecting both cost-plus and fixed-price contracts.
Under time-and-materials contracts, we are paid a fixed hourly rate for each direct labor hour expended and we are generally also reimbursed for allowable materials and out-of-pocket expenses. To the extent our actual labor hour costs vary from the negotiated hourly rates, we can generate more or less than the targeted amount of profit, or even incur a loss. Under fixed-price contracts, we agree to perform the specified work, or deliver a specified set of services, for a predetermined price. To the extent our actual costs vary from the estimates upon which the price was negotiated, we can generate more or less than the targeted amount of profit or even incur a loss. Some fixed-price contracts have a performance-based component, in which we can earn incentive payments or incur financial penalties based on our performance. Cost-plus contracts provide for reimbursement of allowable costs and the payment of a fee, which may be fixed, or performance based. The following table sets forth the percentage of our and our predecessor's revenues derived from each type of contract. Our information security solutions revenues are included in the fixed-price line item below.

Excluding revenues from our INS/FOS contract and our NASA CSOC contract, our contract mix as a percentage of pro forma revenues for the year ended December 31, 2002 would have been approximately 46.8% time-and-materials, approximately 39.3% fixed-price, and approximately 13.9% cost-plus, and our contract mix as a percentage of revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2003 would have been approximately 49.0% time-and-materials, approximately 39.4% fixed-price, and approximately 11.6% cost-plus.
Our most significant expense is costs of revenues, which includes the costs of direct labor, subcontractors, materials, equipment, depreciation, travel, and an allocation of indirect costs. The depreciation included in costs of revenues primarily relates to computer hardware and software that we have purchased on behalf of our clients, for use by them, and to which we retain ownership. Indirect costs consist primarily of fringe benefits, human resources, recruiting, and certain other non-direct costs which are necessary to provide direct labor. The number and types of personnel, their salaries, and other costs, can have a significant impact on our costs of revenues.
Our selling, general, and administrative expenses include costs not directly associated with performing work for our clients. These costs include salaries, wages, plus associated fringe benefits, stock-based compensation charges, rent, depreciation, travel, and insurance. Among the functions covered by these expenses are sales, business development, contracts, purchasing, legal, finance, accounting, management,
55
human resources, information systems, and general management. Most of these costs are allowable costs under the cost accounting standards for contracting with the U.S. government and are recoverable under cost-plus contracts.
Our acquisition and related expenses consist of lease costs related to the consolidation of our facilities and costs related to the identification and evaluation of potential acquisitions other than DGS that were not consummated.
Results of Operations
For purposes of this management's discussion and analysis only, our results for the year ended December 31, 2002 discussed below represent our pro forma statement of operations giving effect to the acquisition of our predecessor, Getronics Government Solutions, L.L.C. and the related financing transactions as if such transactions had occurred on January 1, 2002, as further described in "Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Information." Although this approach is not consistent with generally accepted accounting principles, we believe it is the most practical way to comment on the results of operations. Our pro forma results may not be indicative of results to be expected for future periods.
The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, (i) selected statements of operations data and (ii) selected statements of operations data expressed as a percentage of revenues (dollars in thousands):

DigitalNet for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2003 Compared to Predecessor's Six Months Ended June 30, 2002
Revenues. Revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2003 were $160.3 million, compared to revenues of $182.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002, representing a decrease of $22.3 million, or 12.2%. Approximately, $31.6 million of this decrease was due to the loss by our predecessor of the INS/FOS contract re-compete in September of 2002 and $2.8 million of this decrease was due to lower revenues derived from the NASA CSOC contract. We estimate that these decreases were partially offset by increases of approximately $7.0 million in managed network services revenues and approximately $2.5 million in information security solutions sales. Excluding revenues from both the INS/FOS and NASA CSOC contracts, revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2003 were $138.4 million, compared to revenues of $126.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002, representing an increase of 9.6%. For the six months ended June 30, 2003, we had no revenue from the INS/FOS contract. For the six months ended June 30, 2002, revenues from the INS/FOS contract were $31.6 million. For the six months ended June 30, 2003, revenues from the NASA CSOC contract were $21.9 million compared to $24.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002. Because our performance under the NASA CSOC contract will end on December 31, 2003, management believes that revenues and costs of revenues excluding these contracts presents investors with a more meaningful depiction of our ongoing business.
Costs of Revenues. Costs of revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2003 were $126.8 million, or 79.1% of revenues, compared to costs of revenues of $142.8 million, or 78.2% of revenues, for the six months ended June 30, 2002. Approximately $23.1 million of this decrease was due to the loss by our predecessor of the INS/FOS contract re-compete in September of 2002 and $2.8 million of this decrease was due to lower costs required to perform under the NASA CSOC contract. We estimate that these decreases were partially offset by cost increases of approximately $6.5 million related to performance under our managed network services contracts and approximately $727,000 related to information security solutions sales. Excluding costs of revenue from both the INS/FOS and NASA CSOC contracts, costs of revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2003 were $104.9 million, or 75.8% of revenues, compared to costs of revenues of $95.1 million, or 75.3% of revenues, for the six months ended June 30, 2002. For the six months
57
ended June 30, 2002, costs of revenues from the INS/FOS contract were $23.1 million. For the six months ended June 30, 2003, costs of revenues from the NASA CSOC contract were $21.9 million, compared to $24.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2002. The costs of revenue from the NASA CSOC contract were reduced by the usage of the related loss accrual for the six months ended June 30, 2003 by $1.8 million, compared to $3.0 million of usage of this loss accrual for the six months ended June 30, 2002.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. For the six months ended June 30, 2003, selling, general and administrative expenses were $17.4 million, or 10.8% of revenues, compared to $17.0 million, or 9.3% of revenues, for the six months ended June 30, 2002. During the six months ended June 30, 2003, we incurred approximately $485,000 in stock-based compensation charges related to shares of restricted stock held by certain employees. There was no stock-based compensation during the six months ended June 30, 2002. We expect our selling, general and administrative expenses to increase modestly as we increase our sales and marketing efforts.
Amortization of Intangibles. For the six months ended June 30, 2003, amortization expense was $5.3 million, or 3.3% of revenues. There was no amortization expense for the six months ended June 30, 2002. The amortization expense in 2003 is related to the amortization of intangibles resulting from the purchase of our predecessor.
Operating Income. For the six months ended June 30, 2003, operating income was $10.8 million, compared to $22.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002. The decrease in operating income was primarily due to the termination of the INS/FOS contract, under which our predecessor recognized a gross profit of approximately $8.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002 and $5.3 million of amortization expense for the six months ended June 30, 2003.
Other Income and Expense. For the six months ended June 30, 2003, interest income was approximately $80,000, compared to $1.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002. This decrease was attributable to both lower average cash balances maintained and declining interest rates during 2003. Interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2003 was $8.1 million, and there was no interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2002. Nearly all of the 2003 interest expense was attributable to the debt we issued in connection with the acquisition of our predecessor.
Provision for Income Taxes. For the six months ended June 30, 2003, our provision for income taxes was $1.3 million, compared to $9.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002.
DigitalNet Pro Forma for the Year Ended December 31, 2002 Compared to Our Predecessor's Year Ended December 31, 2001
Revenues. Revenues for the year ended December 31, 2002 were $367.8 million, compared to revenues of $346.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2001, representing an increase of $21.0 million, or 6.1%. We estimate that $17.9 million of this increase was due to additional work generated under our managed network services contracts and approximately $3.6 million of this increase was due to increased information security solutions sales. Excluding revenues from both the INS/FOS contract and the NASA CSOC contract, revenues for the year ended December 31, 2002 were $258.4 million, compared to revenues of $238.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2001, representing an increase of 8.5%. For the year ended December 31, 2002, revenues from the INS/FOS contract were $60.1 million compared to $52.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2001. For the year ended December 31, 2002, revenues from the NASA CSOC contract were $49.3 million compared to $56.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2001. For the year ended December 31, 2002, we estimate that we derived approximately 31% of our revenues from contracts in which we acted as a subcontractor to other contractors.
In September 1997, our predecessor was awarded a five-year contract with the INS to provide managed network services. In March 2002, the INS and the GSA began the process of re-competing this contract as a blanket purchase agreement under the GSA Information Technology Schedule. Our predecessor was notified
58
in September 2002 that it was not awarded the re-competed contract. We do not expect to replace the revenues associated with the INS/FOS contract in the foreseeable future.
In November 1998, Lockheed Martin awarded a subcontract to our predecessor to provide managed network services and telecommunications circuits to NASA under the NASA CSOC contract. The base period of this subcontract runs through December 31, 2003. Although we do not expect our subcontract to be renewed, we have agreed with Lockheed Martin to negotiate modifications to the subcontract, subject to our mutual agreement, except that Lockheed Martin has the option to purchase additional labor from us through December 31, 2004 on a time and material basis at agreed rates to facilitate the transition to the replacement or following-on contract. We expect to recognize approximately $47.6 million of revenues under this contract in 2003. We do not expect to recognize any revenues from this contract beyond 2003, nor do we expect to replace these revenues in the foreseeable future.
Costs of Revenues. Costs of revenues for the year ended December 31, 2002 were $288.0 million, or 78.3% of revenues, compared to costs of revenues of $277.1 million, or 79.9% of revenues, for the year ended December 31, 2001. Nearly all of this increase in costs was due to performing the additional task order requirements generated under our managed network services contracts. Excluding costs of revenues from both the INS/FOS and NASA CSOC contracts, costs of revenues for the year ended December 31, 2002 were $195.0 million, or 75.5% of revenues, compared to costs of revenues of $180.2 million, or 75.6% of revenues, for the year ended December 31, 2001. For the year ended December 31, 2002, costs of revenues from the INS/FOS contract were $43.8 million compared to $40.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2001. For the year ended December 31, 2002, costs of revenues from the NASA CSOC contract were $49.3 million compared to $56.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2001. The costs of revenue from the NASA CSOC contract were reduced by the usage of the loss reserve accrual for the year ended December 31, 2002 by $5.0 million, compared to $6.7 million of usage of the loss reserve accrual for the year ended December 31, 2001.
In connection with the termination of our INS/FOS contract, we terminated approximately 580 of our employees in December 2002, most of whom were hired by the new contractor. We do not anticipate replacing these employees in the foreseeable future and anticipate that our costs of revenues will be proportionately smaller in the future.
Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses. For the year ended December 31, 2002, selling, general, and administrative expenses were $35.3 million, or 9.6% of revenues, compared to $36.7 million, or 10.6% of revenues, for the year ended December 31, 2001. This change included a decrease of approximately $3.3 million in selling, general, and administrative costs in 2002 as a result of personnel reductions and the implementation of other cost savings measures effected by our predecessor, which was offset by expenses of DigitalNet. During 2002, we incurred approximately $265,000 in stock-based compensation charges related to shares of restricted stock held by certain employees. Our predecessor did not incur stock-based compensation during the year ended December 31, 2001. We expect our selling, general and administrative expenses to increase modestly as we accelerate our sales and marketing efforts. We expect this increase to be offset by a decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses due to the reduction of our support personnel effected immediately following the loss of our INS/FOS contract.
Acquisition and Related Expenses. For the year ended December 31, 2002, acquisition and related expenses were $921,000, and consisted of lease costs related to the consolidation of our facilities and costs related to the identification and evaluation of potential acquisitions other than DGS that were not consummated. Our predecessor did not incur acquisition, and related expenses during the year ended December 31, 2001.
Amortization of Intangibles. For the year ended December 31, 2002, amortization expense was $10.5 million, compared to $4.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2001. On January 1, 2002, our predecessor adopted SFAS No. 142,Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, and the goodwill and assembled
59
workforce intangible assets from our predecessor's acquisitions were no longer amortized. The amortization expense of $10.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2002, was solely related to the amortization of intangibles resulting from the purchase of our predecessor.
Operating Income. For the year ended December 31, 2002, operating income was $33.0 million, compared to $28.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2001. The increase in operating income was primarily due to improved profitability from an increase of approximately $7.0 million in profits realized under our managed network services contracts and approximately $3.0 million in profits realized under our information security contracts, which were offset by a $6.3 million increase in amortization expenses.
Other Income and Expense. For the year ended December 31, 2002, interest income was $2.0 million, compared to $4.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2001. Nearly all of this decrease was attributable to declining interest rates during 2002. Interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2002 was $15.1 million. We had no interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2001. This interest expense was primarily attributable to the debt we issued in connection with the acquisition of our predecessor in 2002. For the year ended December 31, 2002, other operating expenses were $16,000, compared to $806,000 for the year ended December 31, 2001.
Provision for Income Taxes. For the year ended December 31, 2002, our provision for income taxes was $7.4 million, compared to $14.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2001.
Getronics Government Solutions, L.L.C. (Predecessor Company) for the Year Ended December 31, 2001 Compared to the Year Ended December 31, 2000
Revenues. Revenues for the year ended December 31, 2001 were $346.8 million, compared to $361.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2000, representing a decrease of 4.2%. The decreased revenues resulted from an estimated reduction of approximately $5.9 million in information security sales and an estimated reduction of approximately $10.0 million in managed network services revenue. With respect to the decrease in information security solutions sales, residual backlog from Y2K-related orders in 1999 resulted in higher than normal revenues in 2000. The decreased managed network services revenues resulted from a reduction in managed network services revenues from NASA CSOC in 2001, which were partially offset by increased revenues generated under other managed network services contracts. Excluding revenues from both the INS/FOS contract and the NASA CSOC contract, revenues for the year ended December 31, 2001 were $238.3 million, compared to $241.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2000, representing a decrease of 1.5%. Revenues from the INS/FOS contract for the year ended December 31, 2001 were $52.2 million, compared to $52.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2000. Revenues from the NASA CSOC contract for the year ended December 31, 2001 were $56.3 million, compared to $67.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2000.
Costs of Revenues. Costs of revenues for the year ended December 31, 2001 were $277.1 million, or 79.9% of revenues, compared to $313.0 million, or 86.5% of revenues, for the year ended December 31, 2000. Approximately $16.9 million of this decrease was due to a loss reserve accrual we established in 2000 in connection with our NASA CSOC contract to recognize estimated losses through the contract term which ends December 31, 2003. Approximately $9.9 million of the remaining decrease was due to lower direct costs associated with information security solutions sales, and approximately $5.8 million was due to lower direct costs associated with our NASA CSOC managed network services revenues. Excluding costs of revenues from both the INS/FOS contract and the NASA CSOC contract, costs of revenues for the year ended December 31, 2001 were $180.2 million, or 75.6% of revenues, compared to $192.7 million, or 79.7% of revenues, for the year ended December 31, 2000. Costs of revenues from the INS/FOS contract for the year ended December 31, 2001 were $40.6 million, compared to $41.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2000. Costs of revenues from the NASA CSOC contract for the year ended December 31, 2001 were $56.3 million, compared to $79.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2000. The costs of revenue from
60
the NASA CSOC contract has been reduced by the usage of the loss reserve accrual for the year ended December 31, 2001 by $6.7 million.
Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general, and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2001 were $36.7 million, or 10.6% of revenues, compared to $44.5 million, or 12.3% of revenues, for the year ended December 31, 2000. Nearly all of this decrease was due to the reorganization plan our predecessor implemented in early 2001 that significantly reduced our selling, general, and administrative personnel, streamlined operations and improved overall operating efficiencies.
Amortization of Intangibles. Amortization expense for the year ended December 31, 2001 was $4.2 million, compared to $5.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2000. This decrease was primarily due to a reduction in amortization expense as intangible assets had become fully amortized.
Operating Income. For the year ended December 31, 2001, operating income was $28.8 million, compared to an operating loss of $1.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2000. Approximately $16.9 million of the increase in operating income in 2001 was due to the loss reserve we established in connection with our NASA CSOC contract in 2000. The remaining increase was primarily due to the reorganization plan our predecessor implemented in early 2001 that reduced our selling, general, and administrative expenses.
Other Income and Expense. For the year ended December 31, 2001, interest income was $4.9 million, compared to $7.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2000. Nearly all of this decrease was attributable to declining interest rates during the period. For the year ended December 31, 2001, other operating expenses were $806,000, compared to $6,000 for the year ended December 31, 2000.
Provision for Income Taxes. For the year ended December 31, 2001, our provision for income taxes was $14.5 million, compared to $4.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2000.
DigitalNet Inception (September 7, 2001) through November 25, 2002
DigitalNet was founded on September 7, 2001. From inception through November 25, 2002, our operating activities primarily consisted of developing a preliminary business plan, recruiting personnel, engaging in discussions with prospective lenders and strategic investors, identifying potential acquisition targets, and engaging in merger and acquisition discussions and due diligence efforts. After reviewing and evaluating more than 25 companies, we acquired our predecessor, Getronics Government Solutions, L.L.C., on November 26, 2002. Our expenses from inception through December 31, 2001 were $705,000. Our expenses from January 1, 2002 through November 25, 2002 were $2.3 million.
Deferred Income Taxes
As of December 31, 2002 and June 30, 2003, we had an $833,000 net deferred income tax asset and a $442,000 net deferred income tax liability, respectively. As of December 31, 2002, we had $12.2 million of net operating loss carryforwards which expire through the year 2022.
Seasonality
Our revenues, gross profit and operating income have typically been negatively affected in the quarter ending September 30, primarily due to lower staff utilization rates. These lower utilization rates are attributable both to summer vacations and to increased proposal activity in connection with the end of the federal government fiscal year. We expect to continue to experience this seasonality and our future periods may be materially affected by it.
Our revenues, gross profit, and operating income has typically been positively affected in the quarter ending December 31, primarily due to increased information security solutions sales. The increased solutions sales levels are attributable to purchases made by our clients in advance of the federal government fiscal year.
61
Although we expect to continue to experience this seasonality, we cannot assure you that future periods will be positively affected by it.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our primary liquidity and capital resource needs are to finance the costs of our operations, to make capital expenditures, and to service our debt. The proceeds from the sale of the old notes were used to repay the outstanding indebtedness under our subordinated bridge facility and term loan facility. Based upon our current level of operations, we expect that our cash flow from operations, together with the amounts we are able to borrow under our 2003 Credit Facility, will be adequate to meet our anticipated needs for the foreseeable future. Although we have no specific current plans to do so, to the extent we decide to pursue one or more significant strategic acquisitions, we will likely need to incur additional debt or sell additional equity to finance the purchase of those businesses.
Cash provided by operations was $14.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003. Cash provided by operations for our predecessor was $40.7 million for the period ended November 25, 2002. Cash used by operations for us was $2.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2002. The cash provided by operations for our predecessor for the year ended December 31, 2001 was $32.5 million.
Cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2003 was $9.8 million. Cash used in investing activities by our predecessor was $13.5 million for the period ended November 25, 2002, substantially all of which was used for capital expenditures. Cash used in investing activities by us was $179.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2002, substantially all of which was used to purchase our predecessor. The cash used in investing activities by our predecessor was $6.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2001, substantially all of which was used for capital expenditures. We currently expect to make approximately $8.0 million in capital expenditures on behalf of our clients in 2003, and an additional $2.0 million for general corporate purposes. Capital expenditures we make on behalf of our customers primarily represent computer hardware and software we purchase in connection with managed network services contracts. There are no individually large outstanding commitments for capital expenditures.
Cash used in financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2003 was $5.0 million. Of this amount, approximately $3.9 million related to payments on our revolving credit facility and approximately $1.3 million related to a principal payment on our term loan facility, offset by approximately $119,000 of cash receipts from management notes receivable. Cash used in financing activities by our predecessor was $27.3 million for the period ended November 25, 2002, which was the net cash advanced to our predecessor's parent. Cash provided by financing activities for us was $185.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2002. Of this $185.0 million, $63.7 million was from the issuance of our common stock and Class A Preferred Stock, $44.0 million was from borrowings under our subordinated bridge facility, and $82.9 million was from borrowings under our $105.0 million senior credit facility, offset by debt issuance costs of approximately $6.2 million, all in connection with the acquisition of our predecessor. Cash used in financing activities by our predecessor was $25.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2001. This $25.2 million was the net cash advanced to our predecessor's parent.
Senior Credit Facility
On November 26, 2002, we entered into a secured credit agreement with a syndicate of financial institutions led by Bank of America, N.A. for the acquisition of DGS and for general corporate purposes. The credit agreement provided for an $80.0 million term loan facility and a $25.0 million revolving credit facility. Our revolving credit facility was receivables-based. As of June 30, 2003, we had $78.8 million in borrowings outstanding under the term loan facility and no borrowings outstanding under the revolving credit facility. As of June 30, 2003, the interest rate on the term loan facility was 5.6%. We repaid all amounts outstanding under our term loan facility and terminated the lending commitments under our senior credit facility
62
concurrent with the closing of the offering of the old notes. Our 2003 Credit Facility is described under "Description of Certain Indebtedness."
Bridge Loan Agreement
In connection with the acquisition of DGS on November 26, 2002, we obtained a $44.0 million bridge loan from Banc of America Mezzanine Capital LLC, or BAMC, through the issuance of senior subordinated bridge notes. The bridge notes bore interest at an annual rate of 15%. All indebtedness under the bridge notes was required to be repaid in full no later than August 26, 2003, unless we exercised an extension option, in which case the bridge notes were required to be repaid in full on November 26, 2003. We repaid all outstanding indebtedness under our subordinated bridge facility with the proceeds of the sale of the old notes and terminated the lending commitments under our subordinated bridge facility concurrently.
Related Party Transactions
Since our formation in September 2001, GTCR, Messrs. Bajaj and Pearlstein and trusts for the benefit of the family members of Messrs. Bajaj and Pearlstein purchased, in the aggregate, 6,644,901 shares of our common stock and 61,376 shares of our Class A Preferred Stock. Messrs. Bajaj and Pearlstein paid for these purchases in part with promissory notes, which had an aggregate outstanding balance, including interest, of $870,000 as of June 30, 2003.
GTCR and DigitalNet are parties to a professional services agreement, dated as of September 7, 2001, which entitles GTCR to receive an annual fee of $200,000 until March 7, 2002, and $300,000 thereafter, paid in equal monthly installments, for providing financial and management consulting services to us. As of June 30, 2003, we have accrued, but not paid, $500,000 under the agreement. This agreement also entitles GTCR to receive an investment fee equal to 1% of the purchase price of the common stock and Class A Preferred Stock it purchases from us. We paid GTCR investment fees of approximately $10,000 and $613,000 in 2001 and 2002, respectively, under this agreement.

This table does not reflect potential payments to Getronics, NV in connection with the acquisition of our predecessor as discussed below.
As described in "Use of Proceeds," we applied the proceeds of the sale of the old notes to repay the indebtedness under our subordinated bridge facility term loan facility. The $125.0 million principal and accrued interest under the new notes will be due in 2010, and any borrowings under our 2003 Credit Facility will be due in 2007.
63
Based upon our current level of operations, we expect that our cash flow from operations will be adequate to meet all our contractual cash obligations under the new notes, our 2003 Credit Facility and our operating leases.
On September 27, 2002, we entered into a purchase agreement, pursuant to which we acquired all the membership interests of DGS from GetronicsWang Co. LLC on November 26, 2002. The purchase price was subject to a post-closing adjustment based on the amount of working capital, depreciable assets and accrued contract losses set forth on the balance sheet of DGS prepared as of the day before the closing of the acquisition. This post-closing adjustment resulted in us owing approximately $8.2 million to Getronics, NV, and as such we have recorded a current liability for this amount on our December 31, 2002 balance sheet.
In addition, the purchase agreement provided a sharing arrangement between GetronicsWang Co. LLC and us for accounts receivable we received and continue to receive under our NASA CSOC contract. Pursuant to the purchase agreement, we agreed to share receipts in respect of the accounts receivable from Lockheed Martin Space Operations Company that are not received in the ordinary course in the following order:
- •
- first, we were obligated to pay approximately $8.0 million in respect of undisputed accounts receivable to GetronicsWang Co. LLC;
- •
- second, we were entitled to retain approximately $8.5 million in respect of undisputed accounts receivable;
- •
- third, we were obligated to pay approximately $5.8 million in respect of disputed accounts receivable to GetronicsWang Co. LLC;
- •
- fourth, we were entitled to retain approximately $2.0 million in respect of disputed accounts receivable; and
- •
- finally, we were obligated to pay one half of all additional amounts received to GetronicsWang Co. LLC and we were entitled to retain the other half.
The DGS pre-acquisition November 25, 2002 balance sheet included a total of $14.6 million of NASA CSOC receivables that will be collected by us but remitted to GetronicsWang Co. LLC. Because we are only collecting these receivables on behalf of GetronicsWang Co. LLC, they were not reflected as an acquired asset when performing the DGS purchase price allocation and accordingly do not appear on our December 31, 2002 balance sheet. In addition, we have not recorded a liability related to these amounts as we have no obligation to pay GetronicsWang Co. LLC in the event that the accounts receivable are not collected.
In connection with the purchase agreement, we entered into an escrow agreement with GetronicsWang Co. LLC and State Street Bank and Trust Company. Under this agreement, GetronicsWang Co. LLC placed $10.6 million into an escrow account with State Street Bank and Trust Company. Subject to conditions set forth in the purchase agreement and the escrow agreement, to the extent that we did not receive the accounts receivable described above, the escrow agreement provided for the payment of up to $10.6 million of disputed and undisputed accounts receivable to us. In February 2003, we entered into a settlement agreement with GetronicsWang Co. LLC, pursuant to which approximately $9.6 million was released to GetronicsWang Co. LLC from escrow and approximately $1.0 million remains in escrow. Pursuant to the settlement agreement, we paid GetronicsWang Co. LLC approximately $8.3 million in full payment of the purchase price adjustment and approximately $8.0 million in full satisfaction of their undisputed accounts receivable. We expect to pay GetronicsWang Co. LLC approximately $5.8 million in respect of disputed accounts receivable during 2003.
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Our principal exposure to market risk relates to changes in interest rates. At December 31, 2002 and at June 30, 2003, we had outstanding under our senior credit facility $83.9 million and $78.8 million, respectively, of loans with interest rates tied to changes in the British Bankers Association Interest Settlement Rate for deposits in dollars, Bank of America, N.A.'s prime rate or the federal funds rate. Based upon the
64
outstanding borrowings at December 31, 2002 and June 30, 2003, each 1% increase in these rates could add an additional $839,000 and $788,000, respectively, to our interest expense. After the completion of the offering of the old notes, we repaid the outstanding indebtedness under our senior credit facility as described in "Use of Proceeds". The $125.0 million of indebtedness under the old notes is, and after the completion of the exchange offer, under the new notes will be, at a fixed interest rate and only the indebtedness under our 2003 Credit Facility will be subject to changes in interest rates.
Critical Accounting Policies
Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 2 to our accompanying consolidated financial statements. We consider the accounting policies related to revenue recognition to be critical to the understanding of our results of operations. Critical accounting policies include the areas where we have made what we consider to be particularly difficult, subjective or complex judgments in making estimates, and where these estimates can significantly impact our financial results under different assumptions and conditions. We prepare our financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. As such, we are required to make certain estimates, judgments, and assumptions that we believe are reasonable based upon the information available. These estimates, judgments, and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statement and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the periods presented. Actual results could be different from these estimates.
Revenues and Related Cost Recognition
We recognize revenues under our government contracts when a contract has been executed, the contract price is fixed and determinable, delivery of services or products has occurred, and collection of the contract price is considered probable and can be reasonably estimated. We earn revenues under three basic types of contracts: time-and-materials, fixed-price and cost-plus contracts. Deferred revenues represent payments received for services not yet rendered to the client. We expense contract costs as incurred.
We recognize revenues on time-and-materials contracts based on direct labor hours expended at contract billing rates, other billable direct costs and applicable indirect costs.
Fixed-price contracts may include either a product delivery or specific service performance throughout a period. We recognize revenues on fixed-price contracts that provide for us to render services throughout a period as earned according to contract terms as the service is provided. The majority of revenues on our fixed-price service contracts relate to managed network service contracts in which customers receive a bundle of services often including management services, the use of our hardware and software, network administration services and help desk support. For these contracts in which services are bundled and sold, the delivery of an individual service by itself does not represent the culmination of the earnings process. Customers pay us and we recognize revenue based on fixed monthly prices often determined by the number of customer users. In other instances, we provide an individual customer with a number of different services that are generally documented through separately negotiated task orders that detail the services to be provided and our compensation for these services. Services rendered under each task order represent a discrete earnings process and are not dependent on any other service or product sold by us. We sell our XTS, TEMPEST and Zone products through this type of contract. Once delivered, these products do not require design, integration or implementation support for our customers to receive immediate product functionality. Accordingly, we recognize revenues and associated contract costs upon product delivery and customer acceptance, if required by the contract.
Under cost-plus contracts, we are reimbursed for allowable costs, and are paid a fee, which may be fixed or performance-based. We recognize revenues on cost-plus contracts as we incur costs, plus an estimate of applicable fees earned. We consider fixed fees under cost-plus contracts to be earned in proportion of the allowable costs incurred in performance of the contract, which generally corresponds to the timing of contract billings. For cost-plus contracts that include performance based or fee incentives, we recognize the portion of
65
the expected fee to be awarded by the customer at the time such fee can be reasonably estimated, based on factors such as our prior award experience and communications with the client regarding performance.
Our contracts with agencies of the government are subject to periodic funding by the respective contracting agency. Funding for a contract may be provided in full at inception of the contract or annually throughout the contract consistent with the federal government's fiscal year. In evaluating the probability of funding for purposes of recognizing revenue and assessing collection of the contract price, we consider our previous experiences with our clients, communications with our clients regarding funding status, and our knowledge of available funding for the contract or program. If funding is not considered probable, we defer revenue recognition until realization is probable.
Contract revenue recognition inherently involves estimation. From time to time, facts arise that require revisions to estimated total costs or expected revenues. We recognize the cumulative impact of any revisions to estimates and the full impact on anticipated losses on any type of contract in the period in which they become known.
The allowability of certain costs under government contracts is subject to audit by the government. We charge certain indirect costs to contracts using provisional or estimated indirect rates, which are subject to later revisions based on governmental audits of those costs. We are of the opinion that costs subsequently disallowed, if any, would not be significant.
New Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard, or SFAS, No. 143,Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations. SFAS No. 143 addresses financial accounting and reporting for obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and the associated asset retirement costs. This statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002. We adopted SFAS No. 143 on January 1, 2003 and adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our results of operations or financial position.
In April 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 145,Rescission of FASB Statements Nos. 4, 44 and 64,Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13 and Technical Corrections. Among other things, SFAS No. 145 rescinds both SFAS No. 4,Reporting Gains and Losses from Extinguishment of Debt, and the amendment to SFAS No. 4, and 64,Extinguishment of Debt Made to Satisfy Sinking Fund Requirements. Through this rescission, SFAS No. 145 eliminates the requirement that gains and losses from the extinguishment of debt be aggregated and, if material, classified as an extraordinary item, net of the related income tax effect. Generally, SFAS No. 145 is effective for transactions occurring after May 15, 2002. Adoption of SFAS No. 145 requires that any loss incurred by us through the early retirement of debt be reflected as a component of other income and expense and not treated as an extraordinary item.
In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146,Accounting for Costs of Exit or Disposal Activities. SFAS No. 146 nullifies EITF Issue No. 94-3,Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring). This statement requires that an exit or disposal activity related cost be recognized when the liability is incurred instead of when an entity commits to an exit plan. The provisions of SFAS No. 146 are effective for financial transactions initiated after December 31, 2002. We adopted SFAS No. 146 on January 1, 2003 and such adoption did not have a material impact on our results of operations or financial position.
In December 2002, the Emerging Issues Task Force, or EITF, issued EITF Issue 00-21,Accounting for Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables. EITF 00-21 provides guidance on determining whether a revenue arrangement contains multiple deliverable items and if so, requires that revenue be allocated amongst the different items based on fair value. EITF 00-21 also requires that revenue on any item in a revenue arrangement with multiple deliverables not delivered completely must be deferred until delivery of the item is completed. The guidance in EITF 00-21 is effective for revenue arrangements entered into in fiscal periods
66
beginning after June 15, 2003. We do not expect that implementation of EITF 00-21 will have a material impact on our results of operations or financial position.
In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150,Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity. This statement establishes standards for classifying and measuring as liabilities certain financial instruments that have characteristics of both liabilities and equity. This statement is effective immediately for instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003 and for all other instruments that exist as of the beginning of the first interim financial reporting period beginning after June 15, 2003. However, the provisions of SFAS No. 150 will be applied to mandatorily redeemable instruments of nonpublic companies in fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2003. Early adoption of SFAS No. 150 is not permitted. Application of this standard to pre-existing instruments will be recognized as a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle. The provisions of this statement require that any financial instruments that are mandatorily redeemable on a fixed or determinable date or upon an event certain to occur be classified as liabilities. We are currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this standard.

BUSINESS
Company Overview
We are a leading provider of managed network, information security, and application development services and solutions to U.S. civilian, defense and intelligence federal government agencies. We have more than 30 years of proven experience in providing information technology services and solutions to our U.S. federal government clients. Our comprehensive information technology services and solutions allow our clients to outsource the design, implementation, integration, management, and security of their increasingly complex computer networks and systems. We are focused on increasing network reliability, reducing overall network costs, and rapidly migrating mission critical network computing environments to new technologies, which are critical elements for maintaining the daily operations of numerous federal agencies. Our actual and pro forma revenues for the year ended December 31, 2002 were approximately $33.9 million and $367.8 million respectively. Our revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2003 were approximately $160.3 million.
We provide comprehensive information technology services and solutions through an integrated set of three core offerings:
- •
- Managed Network Services. We provide managed network services that help our clients more reliably and efficiently manage their increasingly complex network computing environments. For example, for one of our civilian agency clients who wanted to outsource a number of its managed network services requirements, we designed and currently maintain an improved network architecture that significantly increased network capacity and reliability for more than 17,000 users in more than 2,000 field locations across several different departments. We estimate that our managed network services represented approximately 72% of our pro forma revenues for the year ended December 31, 2002 and approximately 66% of our revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2003.
- •
- Information Security Solutions. We provide information security solutions that help our clients protect the availability, integrity, and confidentiality of their data and underlying computing systems. For example, for one of our intelligence agency clients who wanted to outsource a number of its managed network services requirements, we designed and currently maintain an improved network architecture and we engineered a number of security systems. In order to provide secure access for personnel working in overseas locations, we deployed security systems that operate at multiple security levels and allow increased flexibility, responsiveness and security in managing classified data. We estimate that our information security services and solutions represented approximately 15% of our pro forma revenues for the year ended December 31, 2002 and approximately 18% of our revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2003.
- •
- Application Development and Integration. We provide application development and integration services and solutions that help our clients more efficiently run their organizations through the use of customized software applications. We have developed electronic web-based procurement systems, logistics systems, financial systems, command and control systems, and knowledge management systems. For example, for one of our Department of Defense clients, we designed, developed, deployed, integrated and currently maintain a financial software application that is used to manage our client's standard accounting systems as well as its standard base supply and medical logistics systems. We estimate that our application development and integration services represented approximately 13% of our pro forma revenues for the year ended December 31, 2002 and approximately 16% of our revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2003.
Industry Overview
Recent defense budgets are significantly higher than in prior years, particularly in areas related to intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance and homeland security because of increased counter-terrorism
68
activities following September 11, 2001, the U.S. military operations in Afghanistan, the war in Iraq and the resulting changes required in the Department of Defense to prepare for these types of events. The U.S. federal government is among the largest consumers of information technology services and solutions in the world. According to INPUT, an independent federal government market research firm, the overall federal information technology market for vendor-furnished information systems and services is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 8.5% from $45.4 billion in federal fiscal year 2003 to $68.2 billion in federal fiscal year 2008. Federal government spending on outsourced information technology services, our primary market, is expected to grow from $8.9 billion in fiscal year 2003 to $16.1 billion in fiscal year 2008, a compound annual growth rate of 12.6%, according to INPUT. We believe that the continued increase in the federal government's spending on information technology over the next several years will be primarily driven by the following factors:
Increased Spending on Defense, Intelligence, and Homeland Security Initiatives
The terrorist attacks in the U.S. and throughout the world have stimulated an ongoing war on terror that has intensified the government's commitment to strengthen its defense, intelligence, and homeland security capabilities, resulting in the following trends:
Increase in Overall Department of Defense Information Technology Spending. The Department of Defense is the largest single buyer of goods and services in the world, and a large user of third-party information technology services and solutions. In October 2002, President Bush authorized $355 billion in defense spending in federal fiscal year 2003, an increase of approximately $37.0 billion, or 11.6%, over federal fiscal year 2002. According to the Government Electronics and Information Technology Association, a trade association representing government contractors in the high-tech industry, the Department of Defense's budget is expected to increase from $390 billion to $558 billion in current-year dollars by federal fiscal year 2013. According to INPUT, the Department of Defense's spending on information technology services and solutions is expected to increase from $21.2 billion in federal fiscal year 2003 to $31.5 billion in federal fiscal year 2008. We believe the Department of Defense's need to maintain and upgrade its existing information technology systems and to develop and deploy the next generation of its systems, including command, control, communications, computing, and intelligence systems will drive growth in overall information technology spending.
Increase in Intelligence Spending. The Department of Defense, as well as the other agencies that support U.S. intelligence initiatives rely heavily upon information superiority through information technology to perform activities such as the detection of terrorist activities. Although recent federal budget spending on intelligence related activities remains highly classified, the Director of Central Intelligence has indicated that federal budgets for intelligence related activities for federal fiscal years 1997 and 1998 were each in excess of $26.0 billion. We believe the budgets for intelligence related activities in federal fiscal year 2003 will provide an increase in funding to support the U.S. intelligence community's ongoing reliance on information superiority.
Increase in Homeland Security Spending. We believe federal government information technology spending over the next several years will be driven largely by homeland security initiatives that will affect every federal agency. According to the Government Electronics and Information Technology Association, federal spending on information security initiatives is expected to increase from approximately $2.6 billion in federal fiscal year 2001 to approximately $9.2 billion in federal fiscal year 2006, a compound annual growth rate of approximately 29%. We believe the growth in information technology spending for homeland security initiatives is driven by the government's reliance on information technology to detect planned terrorist attacks and the desire to thwart cyber-assaults. In addition, we believe significant resources will be devoted to integrating the unique information systems of 22 separate federal agencies as part of the creation of the Homeland Security department.
69
Demand for Greater Government Efficiency and Effectiveness
Federal government agencies are under increasing pressure to be more efficient and effective, which they are responding to by improving and upgrading their technological capabilities. We believe that one way in which federal agencies are attempting to drive greater efficiency and effectiveness is through outsourcing information technology services to third parties. In many cases, they have elected to transition their existing proprietary systems to emerging technologies that improve effectiveness, enhance productivity, and deliver new services. For example, the Government Paperwork Elimination Act requires all federal agencies to provide the public with electronic access to government services and documents by October 2003, and to give the public the option of submitting government forms electronically. The demand for greater government efficiency and effectiveness is driving a number of other trends in the federal government:
Increase in Federal Government Dependence on Third-Party Information Technology Service Providers. Outsourcing of information technology operations is becoming an increasingly attractive alternative for federal agencies that are striving to maintain their core functions with a shrinking information technology workforce, while at the same time upgrading technology and standardizing and streamlining operations. The National Academy of Public Administration estimates that approximately 50% of the federal government workforce will be eligible to retire by September 2006, which we believe will create a shortage of technically skilled federal employees.
Continuing Impact of Federal Procurement Reform. Over the past several years, federal government agencies have adopted procurement processes that provide increased flexibility and enable government entities to award contracts based on factors other than price alone, such as successful past performance and distinguishing corporate and technical capabilities. Changes in the procurement process have also streamlined the process of purchasing information technology services by reducing procurement time and acquisition costs. For example, the reform of the GSA Multiple Award Schedule in 1998 allowed agencies to take advantage of ordering services through pre-approved vendors and as a result, according to INPUT, the federal sales cycle has declined approximately 29% from federal fiscal year 1998 to federal fiscal year 2001. We believe that these contract reforms and the historical experience of government agencies has shifted government agencies' preference to procure on a best value basis rather than on a low cost basis. This shift has migrated an increasing amount of procurement to fixed-price contracts and away from cost-plus contracts.
Increased Demand for Complex, Interoperable, and Reliable Networks
The growth in network-dependent activities throughout the federal government requires complex network services and solutions that integrate a variety of systems and technologies from multiple vendors to link people and systems electronically. The lack of interoperability across the federal government's disparate networks and systems has become a primary concern in the aftermath of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. The rapid pace of change in networking technology and the need for greater bandwidth has further increased the complexity of designing and implementing these network solutions. As hardware and software companies develop applications to more effectively and efficiently manage increasing volumes of information, rapid adoption of new technologies is required to support the networking activities of national defense, intelligence and homeland security initiatives, as well as the daily operations of federal government and civilian agencies. Accordingly, the demand for experienced professionals that can assist the federal government in designing, implementing, integrating, and managing complex network solutions has increased dramatically. According to INPUT, federal government spending on network services and network management is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 9.6% from $2.7 billion in federal fiscal year 2003 to $4.3 billion in federal fiscal year 2008.
70
Competitive Strengths
We believe we are well positioned to address the specific requirements of our clients because we possess the following key competitive strengths:
Knowledge of Our Clients' Business Processes, Information Architecture and Technology Initiatives
We have served a number of our clients for more than 10 years, including some for more than 30 years. Through these long-standing relationships, we have developed an extensive knowledge of our clients' business processes, cultures, contracting environments, information architectures, and technology initiatives, providing us with an opportunity to further expand these relationships. This knowledge also enhances our ability to deliver services and solutions that can be efficiently integrated with our clients' existing systems and business processes in a manner that is consistent with our clients' strategic goals. We have also strategically recruited employees with significant government, military, or technical experience to increase our knowledge of our clients' business processes and to extend our expertise into new areas. We believe the strength of our long-term relationships is demonstrated by our success in the task order renewal process.
In-Depth Managed Network Computing and Information Security Expertise
We believe our core strengths are in providing complex network and information security solutions.
In-depth Network Computing. Our expertise in complex network technologies covers the entire life cycle of an organization's network requirements, including network design, implementation, integration, and management. We consider an organization's network to extend from the desktop to the wide-area network. Our services and solutions allow our clients to more effectively and predictably manage their network, server, and desktop computing environments. Our services and solutions include network design, implementation, integration, and management. Our clients have the ability to outsource all of their network requirements to us, or they can retain control over certain aspects of their network and outsource only selected network management tasks. We have extensive experience in providing large scale network design and installation and managed network services. As of June 30, 2003, we managed and supported approximately 123,000 users across 24 different networks, including networks in the Department of Defense, the Department of the Treasury, the Department of State, and the Department of Justice.
Information Security Expertise. We offer a comprehensive, integrated set of information security services and solutions designed to meet our clients' information security needs. We evaluate our clients' security risks and develop a comprehensive plan to address these risks through the implementation, integration, and management of our information security solutions.
As part of our information security services and solutions, we offer TEMPEST and Zone solutions to our clients. Our TEMPEST and Zone solutions involve modifying electronic equipment for our clients to eliminate or reduce electromagnetic radiation emanations to prevent electronic eavesdropping. We also offer, customize, integrate, and manage a secure software operating system called XTS, which enables network administrators to control the access, data processing, and storage capability of multiple users across disparate networks with differing security levels. This operating system has been evaluated by the National Security Agency, or NSA, and received a B3 rating. Division B is the second highest federal security level and B3 is the highest rating within that level. A B3-rated system is highly resistant to penetration and is tamper-proof.
Highly Skilled Technical and Managerial Professionals
We believe our competitive position is enhanced by our ability to attract, retain, and develop qualified technical and managerial professionals. As of December 31, 2002, approximately 80% of our nearly 1,700 employees were professional staff. As of June 30, 2003, approximately 62% of our employees held government security clearances and approximately 53% of these employees held Top Secret clearance or higher, allowing us to work with our clients in highly classified environments. As of December 31, 2002,
71
approximately 49% of our professionals held at least one certification, and of those, more than half held two or more. These certifications include over 900 from Cisco, Microsoft, and Novell, and approximately 560 others, including Dell, OpenView, Sun Microsystems, TEMPEST, and Tivoli. We believe our technical and managerial training programs have contributed to our ability to attract and retain our professionals. For example, we have developed a Best Practices Program, which is required training for all of our program managers, deputy program managers, and business managers. This program focuses on teaching our managers how to comply with government regulations, successfully manage client programs, and develop themselves and their subordinates into better leaders for future assignment.
Disciplined Program Management Review Process
Our disciplined program management review process brings our project teams together on a regular basis to review each of our individual client programs. This review helps ensure that we are meeting project goals. Employees from our operations, human resources, contracts, and finance organizations meet, at a minimum, on a quarterly basis for each client program to discuss and evaluate the client program's progress and to develop a plan to ensure that the program is progressing on budget, on time, and that the client is satisfied. We also have implemented a Quality Initiative Program survey as part of our program management review process. This program allows us to assess our clients' views of our performance and to address any concerns that are identified.
Experienced Management Team
Our executive team includes Ken S. Bajaj, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, who has more than 27 years of experience in the information technology industry, including 17 years in a government contracting environment. Our management team has substantial experience leading companies that provide technology services to the Department of Defense, the intelligence community, and civilian federal government agencies. Our core group of seven senior executives has an average of 18 years of experience in the information technology industry and an average of 15 years of experience providing information technology services and solutions to the federal government. During five of the last 13 years, our Chief Executive Officer has worked with the three members of DGS' senior management, who were responsible for managing substantially all of our revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2003. Our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer previously worked together at AppNet, Inc. During their tenure at AppNet, both were involved in AppNet's initial public offering and subsequent sale to Commerce One, Inc. Members of our executive team have held senior positions with a number of large information technology services providers, such as Computer Sciences Corporation, Electronic Data Systems Corporation, Getronics NV, I-NET, Inc., Perot Systems Corporation, Wang Laboratories, Inc., Mantech International, Science Applications International Corporation, and General Dynamics. We believe that the longstanding client relationships maintained by our Chief Executive Officer, the President of DGS, and other members of our senior management team will contribute to our ability to cross-sell our full range of services and solutions to existing clients and to identify and leverage new business opportunities. Our management team owns approximately 29.8% of our outstanding common stock.
Business Strategy
Our objective is to continue to profitably grow our business as a leading provider of information technology services and solutions. Key elements of our strategy include:
Leverage Our Differentiated Services and Solutions to Expand Our Client Base
We believe our experience and highly differentiated services and solutions offerings will enable us to expand our client base in high growth areas of the federal information technology services market. We also believe our investment in emerging technologies, and our processes, methodologies, and best practices ensure high quality and consistent offerings in managed network services, information security solutions, and application development and integration solutions. We intend to continue to leverage our differentiated
72
services and solutions to win contracts from new clients in the federal government. For example, we believe that we recently won a contract with the Federal Technology Services division of the GSA because of our differentiated approach to delivering managed network services. Under this contract, we will provide a variety of managed network services, including network design and engineering, implementation, configuration, and a variety of other ongoing network support services.
Build on Our Longstanding Client Relationships to Cross-Sell Our Full Range of Services and Solutions
Through increased marketing efforts, we intend to continue our efforts to expand the scope of our existing client relationships by broadening the range of services we provide to our clients. Providing additional services to our clients should increase our overall knowledge of our clients' business and technical requirements, which we believe will contribute to increased use of our services over time. For example, we provided a Department of Justice client with help-desk support under a multi-million dollar blanket purchase agreement. Because of the client's overall satisfaction with our performance and knowledge of our other service offerings, we became one of its leading providers of managed network services and application development and integration solutions, including implementation of a BlackBerry wireless solution, the development of human resources applications, and the development of Remedy-based end user tools. This has resulted in an increase in pro forma revenues from this client of approximately $1 million, or 10%, for the year ended December 31, 2002 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2001.
Accelerate Our Sales and Marketing Efforts
Our business development organization is responsible for marketing, developing and acquiring contracts within the federal government. We intend to accelerate our sales and marketing efforts by adding additional business development personnel, increasing our spending on bid and proposal efforts, and leveraging the industry relationships of Ken S. Bajaj, our Chief Executive Officer, and Steven Hanau, the President of DGS.
Expand Our Services and Solutions Offerings
We plan to continue expanding our offerings of directory services, mobile computing solutions, and secure remote access solutions. We intend to continue to expand our services and solutions in areas such as managed network services, information security services, and other emerging technologies. We maintain three state-of-the art technology labs where our networking and security engineers use their extensive experience to learn about and then test emerging technologies and products. These labs provide an environment for evaluating the performance and interoperability of networking and security solutions.
Our advanced technology group develops methodologies and best practices for the introduction of the use of new technologies in our client engagements. For example, we have entered into a relationship with EMC Corporation and are currently training some of our professionals in EMC Storage Area Network (SAN) Operator and Builder technologies. Upon completion of this training program, these individuals will be certified by EMC to deliver SAN technology, which we believe is an important technology for many e-government initiatives.
Pursue Strategic Acquisitions
We may pursue strategic acquisitions that can cost-effectively add new clients, specific federal agency knowledge, or technological expertise to accelerate our access to existing or new markets. We plan to be very selective in our acquisition program and will focus on those businesses in either the government or commercial sectors that broaden and complement our existing expertise.

We designed an improved network architecture that provides significantly increased network capacity and reliability. In order to provide secure access for personnel working in overseas locations, we engineered a number of security systems that operate at multiple security levels, or multi-level security systems. These multi-level security systems are used in both mobile and fixed communications environments, providing more flexibility, responsiveness, and security in managing classified data. We continue to provide TEMPEST and Zone solutions to this client and continue to use an extensive set of automated software tools to provide it with network performance monitoring and troubleshooting, and other support services.
Intellectual Property
We rely on a combination of patent and trade secret laws and contractual restrictions to protect our proprietary rights. We have filed a provisional patent application relating to our XTS operating system. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in obtaining patent protection for any of our intellectual property or that third parties will not challenge them. In addition, there can be no assurance that others will not independently develop similar or competing technology or design around any patents that may be issued.
We believe that we have a number of trade secrets that contribute to our success and competitive position, and we endeavor to protect the secrecy of this proprietary information. While we believe that retaining continuing protection of our trade secrets and confidential information is important, we are not materially dependent on any specific trade secret or group of trade secrets.
Clients
We have a broad base of over 60 U.S. civilian, defense, and intelligence federal government agency clients on over 160 active engagements, which creates a diversified revenue stream. We have served many of our clients for over 10 years, and some for more than 30 years, which we believe fosters a stable and predictable business environment for us as we provide ongoing modifications and support for our solutions. We believe our long-standing relationships are due in large part to our technical expertise and proven performance on individual contracts, particularly in mission critical areas involving intelligence, national security, and other sensitive or classified government functions. We derived 62% of our pro forma revenues from civilian agency clients, 28% of our pro forma revenues from Department of Defense clients, and 8% of our pro forma revenues from intelligence agency clients for the year ended December 31, 2002. We derived 51% of our revenues from civilian agency clients, 34% of our revenues from Department of Defense clients, and 14% of our revenues from intelligence agency clients for the six months ended June 30, 2003. Excluding our INS/FOS and NASA CSOC contracts, we derived 47% of our pro forma revenues from civilian agency clients, 39% of our pro forma revenues from Department of Defense clients, and 11% of our pro forma revenues from intelligence agency clients for the year ended December 31, 2002. Excluding our INS/FOS and
80
NASA CSOC contracts, we derived 43% of our revenues from civilian agency clients, 39% of our revenues from Department of Defense clients, and 17% of our revenues from intelligence agency clients for the six months ended June 30, 2003. Our clients include:
Department of Defense • Department of the Air Force • Department of the Army • Department of the Navy • Office of the Joint Chiefs of Staff • Office of the Secretary of Defense • Defense Logistics Agency • Defense Information Systems Agency • Defense Finance and Accounting Service
U.S. intelligence agencies | | Civilian agencies • Department of Justice • Federal Bureau of Investigation • Executive Office of U.S. Attorneys • Antitrust Division • Criminal Division • U.S. Marshals Service • Immigration and Naturalization Service • Justice Management Division • Department of the Treasury • Internal Revenue Service • U.S. Customs Service • United States Mint • Department of State • General Services Administration • Federal Technology Service • United States Postal Service • National Aeronautics and Space Administration |
Contracts for which we act as the prime contractor represented approximately 69% of our pro forma revenues for the year ended December 31, 2002 and approximately 69% of our revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2003. Excluding our INS/FOS and NASA CSOC contracts, contracts for which we act as the prime contractor represented approximately 75% of our pro forma revenues for the year ended December 31, 2002 and approximately 80% of our revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2003.
For the year ended December 31, 2002, we had two contracts that accounted for more than 10% of our pro forma revenues. On a pro forma basis our INS/FOS contract, which ended on November 30, 2002, accounted for approximately 16% of our revenues for the year ended December 31, 2002. On a pro forma basis, our NASA CSOC contract represented approximately 13% of our revenues for the year ended December 31, 2002. Our NASA CSOC contract work was performed through a subcontract relationship with Lockheed Martin Corporation that will end in December 2003. Other than work for our NASA CSOC contract, we do not expect that any contract or program will account for more than 10% of our revenues for the year ending December 31, 2003.
Backlog
We define total backlog as the estimate of the sum of:
- •
- the amount of revenue we expect to realize (i) over the remaining base contract performance period and (ii) from the exercise of option periods that we reasonably believe will be exercised, from signed contracts in hand as of the measurement date; and
- •
- the amount of revenue we expect to realize (i) over the remaining task order performance period and (ii) from the renewal of these task orders that we reasonably believe will be renewed, for a period not to exceed the ensuing five fiscal year ends, from signed task orders in hand as of the measurement date.
81
We do not include in total backlog:
- •
- the expected amount of revenue that would be realized if, and when, we were successful in the re-compete of signed contracts in hand as of the measurement date;
- •
- the expected amount of revenue that would be realized from future unidentified growth on signed contracts and task orders in hand as of the measurement date; and
- •
- the expected amount of revenue to be realized from any information security solutions sales.
Our total backlog was approximately $743 million and approximately $848 million as of June 30, 2003, and June 30, 2002, respectively. Excluding our INS/FOS and NASA CSOC contracts from our total backlog, our total backlog was approximately $720 million and approximately $760 million as of June 30, 2003 and June 30, 2002, respectively. As of June 30, 2003, we expected to recognize revenues from approximately 18% of our total backlog during the remaining six months of the year ended December 31, 2003.
We define funded backlog as the portion of our backlog for which funding currently is appropriated and obligated to us under a signed contract or task order by the purchasing agency, or otherwise authorized for payment to us by a customer upon completion of a specified portion of work, less the amount of revenue we have previously recognized under the contract. Our funded backlog does not include the full potential value of our contracts, because Congress often appropriates funds to be used by an agency for a particular program or contract on a yearly or quarterly basis, even through the contract may call for performance over a number of years.
Our funded backlog was approximately $119 million and approximately $165 million as of June 30, 2003 and June 30, 2002, respectively. Excluding our INS/FOS and NASA CSOC contracts from funded backlog, our funded backlog was approximately $96 million and approximately $125 million as of June 30, 2003 and June 30, 2002, respectively.
Business Development
Our business development organization, in cooperation with several of our other organizations, has designed systems and processes to successfully market, develop, and acquire contracts within the government sector. These systems and processes include the development and management of company-wide new business opportunity pipeline reports, the bid and proposal process, monthly agency and program account opportunity reviews, sales training, research, and competitive analyses.
Our business development professionals are highly experienced in marketing to government clients and have extensive knowledge of both the services and solutions we offer, as well as the particular client's organization, mission culture, and technology initiatives. These professionals also possess a working knowledge of the rules governing the marketing limitations that are specific to the government arena. This includes knowledge of government funding systems, conflict of interest restrictions, procurement integrity limitations, and other pertinent procedural requirements designed to establish a competitive playing field and to ensure the appropriate use of public funds. In fulfilling its mission, the business development organization cooperates closely with the various operations groups and other support organizations.
Our business development organization is responsible for managing the contract bidding process. For each new contract we bid for, members of our senior management team, along with the business development organization, go through the following three-step process:
- •
- opportunity identification;
- •
- target capture plan; and
- •
- proposal cycle.
82
In the opportunity identification stage, we assess the value of and our likelihood of success in competing for a specific contract opportunity and consider, among other factors, our relationship with the specific agency, the strength of our services offering in relation to the contract requirements, potential competitors, and vulnerabilities of any existing contractor serving the client. In the target capture plan stage, we formalize an offer plan and assemble a program team to perform detailed competitive and investment return analyses. In the offer cycle stage, we conduct our formal bid proposal activities. For a description of the types of contracts we hold, see "Government Contracting and Regulatory Process—Types of Contracts."
Competition
Our key competitors include divisions of large federal and informational technology services contractors such as Computer Sciences Corporation, Electronic Data Systems Corporation, Lockheed Martin Corporation, Northrop Grumman Corporation, and Science Applications International Corporation, as well as a number of smaller federal contractors with specialized capabilities, such as CACI International Inc, ManTech International Corporation, PEC Solutions, Inc., SRA International, Inc., and Veridian Corporation. Because of the diverse requirements of our U.S. government clients and the highly competitive nature of large procurement awards, companies frequently form teams to pursue contract opportunities. The same companies listed as our competitors will, at times, team with us in the pursuit of new business. We believe that the major competitive factors that affect our ability to compete are:
- •
- technical competencies;
- •
- knowledge of the client and their specific needs;
- •
- the reputation and results of past performance on similar engagements;
- •
- size;
- •
- key management and technical personnel;
- •
- number and level of security clearances; and
- •
- price.
Although we believe that we compare favorably with our competitors based on these factors, we may not maintain our competitive position against current or potential competitors.
Employees
Our ability to attract, train, and retain top quality employees is an important element in our ability to provide effective information technology services and solutions. As of June 30, 2003, we had approximately 1,650 employees, located in 22 states, Washington, D.C., and seven foreign countries. The depth and breadth of the security clearances held by our employees is instrumental in allowing us to compete for, and work on, classified projects. As of June 30, 2003, we had 1,022 cleared personnel, of which 182 possess TS/SCI-level clearances (including 123 with polygraphs), 363 possess top secret-level clearances, and 477 possess secret and confidential-level clearances. In addition, we had approximately 130 additional initial clearances pending as of June 30, 2003, which would provide an initial clearance for approximately 130 of our personnel. We endeavor to be an employer of choice in the government information technology industry, and we intend to improve our recruitment and retention efforts through the use of stock options and other incentive plans. None of our employees are represented by a labor union or subject to a collective bargaining agreement. We believe that our relations with our employees are good.

Our executive offices and principal operations are located at 2525 Network Place in Herndon, Virginia. We occupy approximately 290,000 square feet of leased space in Virginia, Massachusetts, Maryland,
83
Alabama, Colorado, Washington, D.C., Hawaii, Ohio, and Illinois. We also occupy government-provided facilities in a variety of locations to support ongoing contracts, and we maintain three Special Compartmentalized Information Facilities. Our Tewksbury, Massachusetts facility houses our TEMPEST and Zone activities and holds certification under the International Organization for Standards 9002, which is an international quality standard for sales, production, installation and distribution. We do not own any real estate and maintain flexibility in facility occupancy through termination options concurrent with contract terms in many of our leases. We believe that our facilities are adequate to meet our current needs, and that additional facilities will be available as we expand in the future.
Legal Proceedings
From time to time, we are involved in various legal proceedings concerning matters arising in the ordinary course of business. We believe that any ultimate liability arising out of these proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position or results of operations.

GOVERNMENT CONTRACTING AND REGULATORY PROCESS
The federal government contracting process differs in many ways from commercial contracting, and involves a high degree of government regulation and oversight.
Contracting Processes
The Competition in Contracting Act of 1984 requires agencies to attain "full and open competition" in selecting companies to perform their contracts. If a U.S. government agency has a requirement for goods or services, it announces its requirements in the Commerce Business Daily or on an electronic bulletin board. Interested contractors submit information indicating their desire to perform the required services. The agency then solicits competitive proposals or bids from qualified contractors by providing them with a formal request for a proposal, or RFP, for negotiated procurements, or an invitation for bids, or IFB, for sealed bid procurements. The RFP or IFB describes the desired goods or services and terms and conditions that will form the final agency contract. In negotiated procurements, the RFP includes the evaluation criteria the agency will use to determine which contractor will be selected for the contract. Offerors then submit proposals in response to the RFP, and the agency evaluates all the proposals, asks for clarifications, and engages in discussions with offerors if necessary. Agencies are encouraged to award negotiated contracts on a "best value" basis. This means that the contractor selected for the award should, in the agency's judgment, provide the greatest overall benefit in response to the requirement, including technical merit, cost, and relevant past performance considerations. This process can sometimes take a year or more.
In some cases, full and open competition is not required. Depending upon the circumstances, contracts can be awarded to us or other contractors on a "sole-source" basis. This can occur when the agency's need for the services is of such an unusual and compelling urgency that the U.S. would be seriously injured unless the agency is permitted to limit the number of sources from which it solicits bids or proposals. A contract can also be awarded to a contractor on a sole-source basis when the services needed by the agency are available from only one responsible source or only from a limited number of responsible sources and no other type of services will satisfy the needs of the agency. From time to time, we are awarded contracts on a sole-source basis.
In recent years, several statutory and regulatory changes have significantly altered government procurement practices, increasing the number of procurement "vehicles" available to U.S. government clients to satisfy their requirements. U.S. government agencies are now more likely to use flexible contract vehicles that permit a number of firms to compete for specific orders. The GSA Multiple Award Schedule Program, or MAS, is an example of a flexible contract vehicle employed by the U.S. government. The GSA contracts with multiple vendors provide for the sale of commercial off-the-shelf information technology products and services, at predetermined prices, to authorized buyers. Those contracts involve services that are provided at fixed labor rates and individual agencies may place orders, receive services, and make payments directly to contractors under the GSA MAS contracts. Before placing an order, ordering offices are required to consider reasonably available information about the services offered under GSA MAS contracts by using "GSA Advantage!," an online ordering system that allows agencies to search through all GSA sources of supply and select the item that meets their requirements, or by reviewing catalogs and pricelists of at least three schedule contractors. In addition, the Department of Defense recently amended its procurement regulations to require contracting officers to provide fair notice of the intent to make a purchase exceeding $100,000 under a multiple award schedule to all contractors offering the required services under the multiple award contract in question and to afford all contractors responding to such notice a fair opportunity to submit an offer and have that offer fairly considered.
In addition to the MAS Program, we also hold other multiple award contracts with individual agencies called IDIQ contracts. IDIQ contracts, also known as task order contracts, are essentially umbrella contracts that set forth the basic terms and conditions under which the agency may order goods and services from one, and in some cases, more than one, contractor. Typically, these contracts will also specify the labor or skill
85
categories that the government agency believes are necessary to perform the necessary contract work and may also specify the labor rates applicable for each contract labor and/or skill category. Federal law establishes a preference for multiple award IDIQ contracts. IDIQ contracts do not obligate the U.S. government to purchase goods or services above the minimum levels set forth in the contract. When task orders are issued under multiple award IDIQ contracts, each awardee should be given a fair opportunity to be considered for the task order. The agency desiring contract services will conduct a limited best value competition among the interested awardees, resulting in the issuance of a task order to a single contractor.
A task order calls for a specific set of services to be delivered by the contractor to a particular client agency. In our experience, the key factors in bidding successfully for these task orders are technical merit, cost, relevant past performance considerations, and client trust. It has also been our experience that after winning a task order and providing the requested services, we will often receive successive task orders from the same agency for follow-on services as long as our client is satisfied with our work. From time to time we are also party to government-wide acquisitions contracts, which are IDIQ contracts that permit the aggregation of the requirements of multiple agencies in a single contract. This type of contract is intended to encourage contractors to offer the best possible prices and to reduce the costs associated with multiple acquisitions.
Types of Contracts
We hold essentially three different, basic types of government contracts, each of which involves a different payment methodology and degree of risk of the cost of performance. These basic types of contracts are typically referred to as time-and-materials contracts, fixed-price contracts, and cost-plus contracts. Each of these basic contract types is described below.
Time-and-Materials Contracts.
Under a time-and-materials contract, our compensation is based on a fixed hourly rate established for specified labor or skill categories. We are paid at the established hourly rates for the hours we expend performing the work specified in the contract. Labor costs, overhead, general and administrative costs and profit are included in the fixed hourly rate. Materials, subcontractors, travel, and other direct costs are reimbursed at actual costs plus an amount for material handling. We make critical pricing assumptions and decisions when developing and proposing time-and-materials labor rates. We risk incurring a loss of profitability if our actual costs exceed the costs incorporated into the fixed hourly labor rate. One variation of a standard time-and-materials contract is a time-and-materials, award fee contract. Under this type of contract, a positive or negative incentive can be earned based on achievement against specific performance metrics, such as network availability. Historically, these types of contract incentives have not had a significant impact on our revenues.
Fixed-Price Contracts.
In a fixed-price contract, we must complete the work to receive the price, which is fixed and is not affected by the cost of performance. Thus, if our costs are greater than the price, we will suffer a loss and if our price is greater than the costs, we will realize a profit. Because we agree to accept the cost risk for the contract, there is greater risk involved with performing the contract, but there is also the possibility of receiving higher profit margins than those recognized on cost-plus and time-and-materials contracts, if work is performed or solutions are developed more efficiently than anticipated.
One variation of a fixed-price contract is a fixed-unit-price contract, which we utilize primarily in our managed network services business. Customers can bundle a number of different combinations of services, such as hardware and software into a single price per month per user. For example, we provide one of our Department of Defense client's approximately 1,900 network users with network management services, network administration services and helpdesk services. We charge this client a fixed-unit-price per month for
86
each user. We often commit to certain service-level agreements as part of these contracts where we must achieve certain pre-defined performance levels. If we are able to exceed these performance levels, we are able to earn additional performance-based compensation. Alternatively, if we do not meet these performance levels, we may be penalized by our customers and may be required to return a portion of our fixed-unit fee to our customers for the period during which we do not reach the performance levels. Historically, these types of contract incentives have not had a significant impact on our revenues.
Cost-Plus Contracts.
Cost-plus contracts provide for reimbursement of costs to the extent that such costs are reasonable, allowable, and allocable to the contract and for the payment of a "fee," which essentially represents the profit margin negotiated between the contractor and the contracting agency. There are three basic types of cost-plus contracts. Cost-plus incentive fee contracts provide for an initially negotiated fee that is adjusted based on a formula that provides, within limits, for increases or decreases based on the relationship of total allowable costs to target costs. Cost-plus award fee contracts provide for a fee consisting of a base amount fixed at inception and an award amount which varies based on the Government's evaluation of contractor performance. Cost-plus fixed fee contracts provide for a negotiated fee that is fixed at inception and does not vary with actual costs.
Contracts may require completion of defined tasks or performance of a specific number of hours of service. Our total cost incurred on our cost-plus contracts cannot exceed the funded cost ceiling set forth in the contract without the approval of the agency. If a contracted task has not been completed or the specific number of hours of service have not been performed at the time the authorized cost is expended, we may be required to complete the work and be reimbursed for the additional costs with no increase in fee or the fee may be reduced proportionately to the number of hours actually provided. Even though cost-plus contracts are generally thought to involve a relatively low degree of risk, we try to carefully manage our cost-plus contracts to ensure that they are performed within the estimated cost and that the required work is completed and/or the minimum hours are provided.
The following table sets forth the percentage of our and our predecessor's revenues derived from each type of contract:
| | Year Ended December 31
| | Six Months Ended June 30

Time-and-materials contracts | | 44.4 | % | 47.5 | % | 49.4 | % | 49.8 | % | 42.6 | % |
Fixed-price contracts | | 46.7 | | 43.1 | | 40.8 | | 39.9 | | 47.4 | |
Cost-plus contracts | | 8.9 | | 9.4 | | 9.8 | | 10.3 | | 10.0 | |
Excluding revenues from our INS/FOS and NASA CSOC contracts, our contract mix as a percentage of pro forma revenues for the year ended December 31, 2002 would have been approximately 46.8% time-and-materials, approximately 39.3% fixed-price, and approximately 13.9% cost-plus, and our contract mix as a percentage of revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2003 would have been approximately 49.0% time-and-materials, approximately 39.4% fixed-price, and approximately 11.6% cost-plus.
Laws and Regulations Affecting Our Business
U.S. government contracts are subject to a number of federal statutes and regulations, including the Federal Acquisition Regulation, or FAR, and agency supplements to the FAR. The FAR contains several regulations that affect us significantly.
The Anti-Deficiency Act prohibits U.S. government employees from committing government funds by contract or otherwise, in excess or in advance of appropriations, unless authorized by a specific statute. Thus, work on our contracts may be limited by the availability of funds. Because Congress usually appropriates
87
funds on a fiscal year basis, many of our contracts are incrementally funded by the agency as Congress makes appropriations for future fiscal years. In addition, the U.S. government uses FAR clauses, such as the Limitation of Cost and Limitation of Funds clauses, prescribed by FAR Subpart 32.7, to limit its liability arising from its employees involving the U.S. government in expenditures or liabilities beyond those authorized by contract. In many cases, contracts are awarded for only one year, with a number of (often four) successive option years.
Disappointed bidders and firms excluded from competition for U.S. government contracts and task orders can avail themselves of FAR and General Accounting Office bid protest remedies by submitting an objection to the contracting officer or General Accounting Office within specified time limits. The U.S. Court of Federal Claims also has bid protest jurisdiction. Contract performance can be suspended while a protest is pending and the contract can be terminated if found to have been improperly awarded.
Larger contracts may also be subject to the Truth in Negotiations Act and Cost Accounting Standards. The Truth in Negotiations Act requires us to provide current, accurate, and complete cost or pricing data in connection with the negotiation of a contract, modification, or task order that is not subject to full and open competition. Cost Accounting Standards require consistency of accounting practices over time and compliance with specific cost accounting criteria. FAR Part 31, "Contract Cost Principles, and Procedures," sets forth the rules regarding the allowability and allocability of costs incurred in connection with cost-plus U.S. government contracts. Similarly, GSA MAS contracts contain a price adjustment clause that allows the GSA to demand a refund, make a forward price adjustment, or terminate a contract for default if a contractor provided inaccurate or incomplete data to the GSA during the contract negotiation process.
The FAR Changes Clause, prescribed by FAR Subpart 43.2, permits a contracting officer to make unilateral changes within the general scope of a contract at any time, by written order, in a number of contract areas. If a change under this clause causes an increase or decrease in the estimated cost of, or the time required for, performance of any part of the work under a changed contract, or otherwise affects any other terms and conditions of this contract, the contracting officer must make an equitable adjustment in the contract price or estimated cost, the delivery or completion schedule, the amount of any fixed fee, and other affected terms of the contract. In the event that the contractor and the government fail to agree upon such an adjustment, the contractor is obligated to perform the contract as changed pending resolution of the dispute.
The U.S. government tries to avoid awarding contracts to companies that may have an organizational conflict of interest, or OCI. FAR Subpart 9.5 describes the situations that may result in an OCI and provides guidance to contracting officers in order to avoid and/or mitigate an actual or potential OCI. An OCI involves a situation that arises or might arise because the nature of the work to be performed by a contractor may, absent some restriction on future activities, result in an unfair competitive advantage to the contractor, impair the contractor's objectivity in performing the contract work, or make the contractor potentially unable to render impartial assistance or advice to the U.S. government. The contracting officer is responsible for resolving any significant potential OCIs before a contract award is made. We have a company-wide policy regarding acceptance of and compliance with contractual OCI provisions and a database in which OCI restrictions are logged. These types of restrictions may restrict our ability to obtain additional work related to certain tasks that we currently perform or performed in the past.
To the extent that we fail to comply with procurement requirements, the U.S. government may demand an adjustment in contract prices or costs. In addition, changes in cost accounting practices are subject to a required procedure for determining the cost impact of the change. The U.S. government is generally protected from paying increased costs resulting from a contractor's accounting changes.
Our books and records are subject to audit by the DCAA and other audit agencies, to ensure that the costs and hourly rates for which we invoice the U.S. government under cost-plus and time-and-materials contracts are in compliance with the Cost Accounting Principles, Cost Accounting Standards, and FAR Cost Principles and Procedures and are otherwise in compliance with contract requirements. These audits can result in adjustments to contract costs and fees, as well as penalties and interest costs. The U.S. government retains
88
a portion of the fee earned by us under cost-plus contracts until contract completion and audit by the DCAA or other audit agencies. Our incurred cost submissions have been audited by the DCAA through December 31, 2000. Costs for which we were reimbursed after January 1, 2001 may be subsequently disallowed upon the completion of the audit. In the opinion of management, the audits for fiscal years 2001 through 2002 will not result in adjustments that would have a material adverse effect on our financial position or results of operations, however, future material adjustments are possible. In addition, our GSA MAS work is subject to audit by the GSA Inspector General to ensure that we are in compliance with the provisions in our GSA MAS contracts. In particular, the price reductions clause in a GSA MAS contract identifies certain events that may trigger a price reduction, including revisions to price lists or other documents upon which the contract award was predicated, the granting of more favorable discounts or terms and conditions than those contained in the contract award, or the granting of special discounts to certain clients.

Employment Agreements
Ken S. Bajaj
We entered into a senior management agreement with Mr. Bajaj dated September 7, 2001, containing provisions relating to stock ownership and employment terms.
The senior management agreement provides for Mr. Bajaj to serve as Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of DigitalNet Holdings, Inc. and DigitalNet, Inc. until his resignation, disability or a decision by our board of directors to terminate his employment. Mr. Bajaj's annual base salary was set at $200,000 until March 7, 2002, and $300,000 thereafter, and he is eligible for a bonus of up to 50% of his annual base salary, as determined by our board of directors.
If, during the one-year period following a sale of DigitalNet, Mr. Bajaj's employment is terminated without cause or he resigns with good reason, then Mr. Bajaj is entitled to receive a severance amount equal to his annual base salary, any unpaid bonus, and health and life insurance benefits through a one-year severance period.
Mr. Bajaj's senior management agreement contains provisions requiring him to protect the confidentiality of our proprietary and confidential information. Mr. Bajaj also has agreed not to compete with us for a period of eighteen months after the end of his employment, unless Mr. Bajaj ceases to be employed by us due to a sale of DigitalNet, in which case the period is reduced to twelve months.
Pursuant to his senior management agreement, Mr. Bajaj purchased 231,813 shares of our common stock designated as reserved stock and 326,497 shares of our common stock designated as carried stock, each at a price of $0.80 per share.
Up to an additional 547,079 shares of reserved stock and 770,534 shares of carried stock were to be purchased by Mr. Bajaj at a price of $0.80 per share. These additional purchases were scheduled to be made from time to time concurrent with purchases of our common stock by GTCR after the date of the senior management agreement. On April 25, 2002, October 8, 2002 and November 26, 2002, Mr. Bajaj purchased an aggregate of 295,905, 96,029 and 925,679 additional shares of carried and reserved stock. Mr. Bajaj paid $446,956 in cash and executed notes in the aggregate amount of $1,053,784 for the shares he purchased in his initial and additional purchases. On March 28, 2003, we entered into an additional agreement with Mr. Bajaj that required him to repay the entire unpaid principal balance of these notes, together with any accrued but unpaid interest, immediately prior to the consummation of an initial public offering of our common stock.
Both the reserved stock and the carried stock vest over time. Approximately 35% of the carried stock purchased by Mr. Bajaj vested as of September 7, 2001, the date his senior management agreement was executed, with the rest vesting ratably over three years. All of the carried stock will vest upon a sale of DigitalNet.
Under Mr. Bajaj's senior management agreement, upon the completion of a public offering of our common stock, 35% of the reserved stock will vest retroactively as of September 7, 2001, with the rest vesting ratably over three years starting on September 7, 2001. Under Mr. Bajaj's senior management agreement, the unvested portion of the reserved stock will vest upon:
- •
- a sale of DigitalNet; or
- •
- the failure of GTCR to own at least 50% of their original investment in our common stock.
94
On January 24, 2003 and on March 28, 2003, we entered into additional agreements with Mr. Bajaj that provide for the automatic vesting of all shares of Mr. Bajaj's reserved and carried stock upon the completion of an initial public offering of our common stock. These agreements prohibit the sale of any shares of Mr. Bajaj's reserved and carried stock that vest pursuant to these agreements until the date when such shares of reserved and carried stock would have otherwise vested pursuant to Mr. Bajaj's senior management agreement. These shares remain subject to the transfer restrictions discussed below.
In the event that Mr. Bajaj ceases to be employed by us, the unvested shares of Mr. Bajaj's carried stock will be subject to repurchase by us, or by GTCR if we do not exercise our repurchase right, at the lower of Mr. Bajaj's cost and fair market value. This right of repurchase terminates upon a sale of DigitalNet or the failure of GTCR to own at least 50% of its original investment in our common stock.
From time to time we may issue or sell shares of our common stock to our employees. If we decide to make this type of issuance, we have the right to repurchase shares of reserved stock from Mr. Bajaj at Mr. Bajaj's cost to issue to our employees. As of June 30, 2003, we have repurchased 70,500 shares of reserved stock from Mr. Bajaj for employee issuances. Our right to repurchase reserved stock in connection with employee issuances expires upon the earlier of the completion of an initial public offering of our common stock and the failure of GTCR to own at least 50% of their original investment in our common stock. In addition, on November 25, 2002, GTCR purchased 164,555 reserved shares from Mr. Bajaj at Mr. Bajaj's cost.
The senior management agreement prohibits the transfer of Mr. Bajaj's reserved stock and carried stock, other than transfers:
- •
- to us or GTCR pursuant to the repurchase right described above;
- •
- to family members, pursuant to laws of inheritance or to a guardian, in each case so long as the transferee agrees to be bound by the transfer restrictions;
- •
- of vested shares at any time that our common stock held by GTCR is sold pursuant to a registered public offering or a Rule 144 sale or transferred to the limited partners of GTCR, but only in proportion to the number of shares sold or transferred by GTCR; or
- •
- of vested shares at any time that our common stock held by GTCR is included on a resale registration statement, but only in proportion to the number of shares registered by GTCR.
The transfer restrictions survive until the earliest of:
- •
- a sale of DigitalNet;
- •
- the failure of GTCR to own at least 50% of their original investment in our common stock; or
- •
- September 7, 2006.
On September 25, 2002, we entered into a free transferability agreement with Mr. Bajaj that waives these restrictions with respect to the 295,905 shares of the reserved and carried stock purchased by Mr. Bajaj on April 25, 2002 to the extent he sells any of these shares prior to vesting. We have a right of first refusal whereby we can purchase any and all of these shares at the same price agreed to by Mr. Bajaj and the prospective purchaser. In the event Mr. Bajaj ceases to be employed by us, as to any sales of unvested stock made by Mr. Bajaj pursuant to this agreement, Mr. Bajaj has agreed to repay to us the greater of:
- •
- his profits on the sale, or
- •
- the difference between the fair market value of the shares on the date his employment ceases and his cost of the shares.
In connection with the amendment of Mr. Bajaj's senior management agreement on March 28, 2003, we agreed that we would not amend Mr. Bajaj's senior management agreement without the consent of GTCR.
95
GTCR's consent right terminates when it fails to own 37.5% of the amount of our common stock it owns after the consummation of an initial public offering of our common stock for all provisions of Mr. Bajaj's senior management agreement except for the section detailing the restrictions on transfers of shares, over which GTCR's consent right shall not terminate at any time it owns our shares. Pursuant to Mr. Bajaj's senior management agreement, we have agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly file a Form S-8/S-3 registration statement after the completion of an initial public offering of our common stock to register Mr. Bajaj's shares of our common stock for resale under the Securities Act.
Jack Pearlstein
We entered into a senior management agreement with Mr. Pearlstein dated September 7, 2001, containing provisions relating to stock ownership and employment terms.
The senior management agreement provides for Mr. Pearlstein to serve as Chief Financial Officer of DigitalNet Holdings, Inc. and DigitalNet, Inc. until his resignation, disability or a decision by our board of directors to terminate his employment. Mr. Pearlstein's annual base salary was set at $200,000 until March 7, 2002, and $250,000 thereafter, and he is eligible for a bonus of up to 50% of his annual base salary, as determined by our board of directors. If Mr. Pearlstein's employment is terminated without cause or he resigns with good reason after the earlier to occur of:
- •
- a sale of DigitalNet; or
- •
- an acquisition by us of a company meeting specified financial criteria,
then Mr. Pearlstein is entitled to receive a severance amount equal to his annual base salary, any unpaid bonus, and health and life insurance benefits through a one-year severance period.
Pursuant to his senior management agreement, Mr. Pearlstein purchased 57,953 shares of our common stock designated as reserved stock and 81,624 shares of our common stock designated as carried stock, each at a price of $0.80 per share.
Up to an additional 136,769 shares of reserved stock and 192,633 shares of carried stock were to be purchased by Mr. Pearlstein at a price of $0.80 per share. These additional purchases were scheduled to be made from time to time concurrent with purchases of our common stock by GTCR after the date of the senior management agreement. On April 25, 2002, October 8, 2002 and November 26, 2002, Mr. Pearlstein purchased an aggregate of 73,975, 24,007 and 231,420 additional shares of carried and reserved stock. Mr. Pearlstein paid $111,739 in cash and executed notes in the aggregate amount of $263,447 for the shares he purchased in his initial and additional purchases. On March 28, 2003, we entered into an additional agreement with Mr. Pearlstein that requires him to repay the entire unpaid principal balance of these notes, together with any accrued but unpaid interest thereon, immediately prior to the consummation of an initial public offering of our common stock.
Under Mr. Pearlstein's senior management agreement, Mr. Pearlstein's reserved stock and carried stock vest over time on the same schedule as Mr. Bajaj's reserved stock and carried stock.
On January 24, 2003 and March 28, 2003, we entered into additional agreements with Mr. Pearlstein that provide for the automatic vesting of all shares of Mr. Pearlstein's reserved and carried stock upon the completion of an initial public offering of our common stock. These agreements prohibit the sale of any shares of Mr. Pearlstein's reserved and carried stock that vest pursuant to these agreements until the date when such shares of reserved and carried stock would have otherwise vested pursuant to Mr. Pearlstein's senior management agreement. These shares remain subject to the transfer restrictions discussed below.
In connection with our employee stock issuances, we have the right to repurchase shares of reserved stock from Mr. Pearlstein at cost to issue to our employees. As of June 30, 2003, we repurchased 17,625 shares of reserved stock from Mr. Pearlstein for employee issuances. Our right to repurchase reserved stock in connection with employee issuances expires upon consummation of an initial public offering of our common
96
stock. In addition, on November 25, 2002, GTCR purchased 41,138 reserved shares from Mr. Pearlstein at cost.
Mr. Pearlstein's reserved and carried stock was initially subject to the same restrictions on transfer applicable to Mr. Bajaj's reserved and carried stock. On September 25, 2002, we entered into a free transferability agreement with Mr. Pearlstein that waives these restrictions with respect to the 73,975 shares of the reserved and carried stock purchased by Mr. Pearlstein on April 25, 2002 to the extent he sells any of these shares prior to vesting. We have a right of first refusal whereby we can purchase any and all of these shares at the same price agreed to by Mr. Pearlstein and the prospective purchaser. In the event Mr. Pearlstein ceases to be employed by us, as to any sales of unvested stock made by Mr. Pearlstein pursuant to this waiver, Mr. Pearlstein has agreed to repay to us the greater of:
- •
- his profits on the sale; or
- •
- the difference between the fair market value of the shares on the date his employment ceases and his cost of the shares.
All other material terms and provisions of Mr. Pearlstein's senior management agreement are identical to Mr. Bajaj's senior management agreement. In connection with the amendment of Mr. Pearlstein's senior management agreement on March 28, 2003, we agreed that we would not amend Mr. Pearlstein's senior management agreement without the consent of GTCR. GTCR's consent right terminates when it fails to own 37.5% of the amount of our common stock it owns after the consummation of an initial public offering of our common stock for all provisions of Mr. Pearlstein's senior management agreement except for the section detailing the restrictions on transfers of shares, over which GTCR's consent right shall not terminate at any time it owns our shares.
Steven Hanau
We entered into a consulting agreement with Mr. Hanau dated January 10, 2002, containing provisions relating to stock ownership and consulting terms. On January 23, 2003, Mr. Hanau's consulting agreement was amended pursuant to which the consulting agreement became a senior management agreement and Mr. Hanau became the President of DGS and a Senior Vice President of DigitalNet until his resignation, disability or our decision to terminate his employment. Pursuant to Mr. Hanau's senior management agreement, his annual base salary is $250,000 and he is eligible for a bonus of up to 50% of his annual base salary, based on the achievement of objectives set by our President. The agreement also entitles Mr. Hanau to grants of options as approved by our board of directors, or a committee thereof, and to any benefits approved by our board of directors and made available to our senior management.
Mr. Hanau's senior management agreement contains provisions requiring him to protect the confidentiality of our proprietary and confidential information. Mr. Hanau has also agreed not to compete with us for a period of two years after the end of his employment if Mr. Hanau resigns or if we terminate him for cause or for a period of one year, extendable at our option for an additional one-year period, if we terminate Mr. Hanau without cause.
If we terminate Mr. Hanau's employment without cause or he resigns with good reason, then Mr. Hanau is entitled to receive a severance amount equal to his annual base salary and health and life insurance benefits through the noncompetition period and any declared bonuses that remain unpaid as of the end of Mr. Hanau's employment.
Pursuant to Mr. Hanau's senior management agreement, he purchased 43,750 shares of our common stock at a price of $0.80 per share. Mr. Hanau paid for the par value of this stock in cash, with the remainder of the purchase price paid to us in the form of notes in the aggregate amount of $34,650. On March 28, 2003, we entered into an agreement with Mr. Hanau that requires him to repay the entire unpaid principal balance of these notes, together with any accrued but unpaid interest, immediately prior to the consummation of an initial public offering of our common stock.
97
Under Mr. Hanau's senior management agreement, in the event that Mr. Hanau ceases to be employed by us, the shares of his common stock will be subject to repurchase by us, or by GTCR, Mr. Bajaj and Mr. Pearlstein if we do not exercise our repurchase right. If we repurchase Mr. Hanau's shares, some of the shares will be repurchased at fair market value and the remainder of shares will be repurchased at the original cost of the shares. Under Mr. Hanau's senior management agreement, the number of shares subject to repurchase at fair market value as of January 10, 2002 was 911. On March 28, 2003, we entered into an additional agreement with Mr. Hanau that provides, upon the completion of an initial public offering of our common stock, for
- •
- the vesting of all the shares purchased by Mr. Hanau under his senior management agreement, and
- •
- the termination of the repurchase right available to us, GTCR, Mr. Bajaj and Mr. Pearlstein in the event that Mr. Hanau ceases to be employed by us.
Mr. Hanau's senior management agreement prohibits the transfer of Mr. Hanau's common stock, other than transfers:
- •
- to us or GTCR pursuant to the repurchase right described above;
- •
- to family members, pursuant to laws of inheritance or to a guardian, in each case so long as the transferee agrees to be bound by the transfer restrictions;
- •
- of vested shares at any time that our common stock held by GTCR is sold pursuant to a registered public offering or a Rule 144 sale or transferred to the limited partners of GTCR, but only in proportion to the number of shares sold or transferred by GTCR; or
- •
- of vested shares at any time that our common stock held by GTCR is included on a resale registration statement, but only in proportion to the number of shares registered by GTCR.
The transfer restrictions survive until the earliest of:
- •
- a sale of DigitalNet;
- •
- the failure of GTCR to own at least 50% of their original investment in our common stock; or
- •
- January 10, 2007.
Pursuant to Mr. Hanau's senior management agreement, we have agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly file a Form S-8/S-3 registration statement after the completion of an initial public offering of our common stock to register Mr. Hanau's shares of our common stock for resale. Pursuant to Mr. Hanau's senior management agreement, any options to purchase our common stock held by Mr. Hanau will vest and become fully exercisable upon the sale of DigitalNet.
Severance Plan
Mr. Sanders is entitled to severance benefits under a severance plan that became effective in January 2001. Under the plan's provisions, if we terminate any of these officers or if any of them resigns for good reason, during a period extending from 90 days before a change in control to up to two years after a change in control, he or she is entitled to receive a severance benefit equal to 18 months of his or her annual base salary, plus bonus, and up to 18 months of health continuation benefits.
Short-term Incentive Plan
Mr. Sanders was eligible to receive incentive compensation for the year ended December 31, 2002 under a short-term incentive program plan for executive and senior management that became effective in January 2002. The amount of compensation that he received under this plan depended on the achievement of a number of company-wide and individual objectives as of December 31, 2002. The incentive compensation paid to Mr. Sanders under this plan was $102,563.
98
Employee Benefit Plans
Amended and Restated 2003 Stock Incentive Plan
Overview. Our board of directors adopted the Amended and Restated 2003 Stock Incentive Plan on March 28, 2003. The amended and restated plan was approved by the stockholders on March 28, 2003. All references to the plan in this discussion are to the amended and restated plan. The purpose of the plan is to attract, retain and reward valuable personnel, give participants an additional incentive to contribute to our success, and align the economic interests of our employees, officers, directors and consultants with those of our stockholders.
Types of Awards. The plan permits a variety of equity-based awards, as follows:
- •
- stock options, including incentive stock options and non-qualified stock options;
- •
- automatic stock option grants to our non-employee directors, when they become directors, and annually while serving as directors;
- •
- stock appreciation rights and dividend equivalent rights;
- •
- performance units, performance shares and performance-based restricted stock;
- •
- other stock-based awards, including phantom stock; and
- •
- restricted stock.
Eligibility. Our employees, officers, directors and consultants, as well as those of our subsidiaries, are eligible to participate in the plan.
Share Reserve/Limitations. Under the plan, 373,416 shares of common stock are available for issuance in connection with options and awards. Our plan provides that on the first trading day of each year, the number of shares of common stock available for issuance under the plan shall automatically increase by an amount equal to 2% of the total number of shares of all classes of our common stock outstanding on the last trading day of the immediately preceding year. These annual increases are capped at the the point where they cause the total number of shares available for issuance under the plan (including shares issued pursuant to previous awards and shares subject to outstanding awards) to exceed 10% of the total number of shares of all classes of our common stock outstanding on the last trading day of the immediately preceding year. No more than 10% of the shares issuable under the plan may be issued for awards other than options and stock appreciation rights. Upon expiration of the period following a public offering that exempts compensation from the deduction limitations under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code, the following limitations will apply:
- •
- the maximum number of shares that may be the subject of options and awards granted to an eligible individual in any calendar year period may not exceed 100,000 shares; and
- •
- the maximum dollar amount of cash or the fair market value of shares that an eligible individual may receive in any calendar year in respect of performance units may not exceed $1,000,000.
Shares allocated to options or awards that expire, cancel, terminate or are settled in cash will again be available for purposes of new grants under the plan.
Administration. The plan will be administered by our board of directors with respect to employees subject to Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or who receive compensation subject to Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code. A committee of our board of directors has the authority to suggest to the board, among other things:
- •
- the individuals to whom options or awards may be granted;
- •
- the type, size and the terms and conditions of options and awards; and
99
- •
- the terms for treatment of options and awards upon a termination of employment or upon a change in control.
Pursuant to the plan, our board of directors has delegated to Mr. Bajaj authority to administer the plan with respect to employees not subject to Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and who do not receive compensation subject to Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code.
Amendment and Termination. Our board of directors may amend or terminate the plan at any time, as long as the amendment or termination does not negatively affect any options or awards that have been previously granted under the plan without the consent of the holder. If it is not terminated earlier by the board of directors, the plan will terminate on the day preceding the tenth anniversary of the date of its adoption by the board, March 28, 2013, and no option or award may be granted after that date.
Without the approval of stockholders, no amendment may be made that would:
- •
- increase the aggregate number of shares that may be issued or the percentage that may be issued with respect to awards other than stock options and stock appreciation rights in connection with stock options;
- •
- change the definition of eligible individuals;
- •
- decrease the option price to less than 100% of fair market value on the date of grant;
- •
- reduce the option price of an outstanding stock option, either by lowering the exercise price or by canceling an outstanding stock option and granting a replacement stock option with a lower exercise price; or
- •
- extend the maximum option period under the plan.
Effect of Change in Control. In the event we experience a change in control, the committee may:
- •
- require participants to surrender their outstanding options or stock appreciation rights for a cash payment, or cancellation in the event the fair market value of the stock is less than the option price;
- •
- replace outstanding options or stock appreciation rights with other rights or property;
- •
- accelerate the vesting of all or a portion of the options, stock appreciation rights or performance awards;
- •
- cause the restrictions on all or a portion of shares of restricted stock or performance awards to lapse;
- •
- require that the successor or survivor corporation assume the options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock or performance awards, or replace them with equivalent options or awards; or
- •
- adjust the terms and conditions of outstanding options and awards.
The committee also may specify the effect of a change in control in a grant agreement related to a particular award.
A change in control generally occurs, subject to some exceptions, upon:
- •
- the acquisition by any person or entity of 50% or more of our outstanding common stock;
- •
- a change in the composition of a majority of our board of directors;
- •
- a merger, acquisition or similar transaction resulting in ownership by our stockholders after the transaction of 50% or less of the new entity;
- •
- our dissolution or liquidation; or
- •
- a sale by us of all or substantially all of our assets.
Initial Grants. Shortly after the completion of this offering, we expect to issue options to purchase approximately 109,000 shares of our common stock to a broad range of our employees pursuant to the plan.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
GTCR Purchase Agreement
We entered into an agreement with GTCR; the Bajaj Family Limited Partnership, the Reuben Bajaj Trust, and the J. Sunny Bajaj Trust, each a Bajaj purchaser; and the Pearlstein Family, LLC, dated as of September 7, 2001, which provided for the purchase by GTCR, the Bajaj purchasers and the Pearlstein Family, LLC of 1,250,000, 52,081, and 3,906 shares of our common stock, respectively, at a price of $0.80 per share. At that time, GTCR, the Bajaj purchasers and the Pearlstein Family, LLC also agreed to purchase up to an aggregate of 2,950,000, 122,918, and 9,219 additional shares of our common stock, respectively, at a price of $0.80 per share and an additional 92,640, 3,860, and 290 shares of our Class A Preferred Stock, respectively, at a price of $1,000 per share in the future on the terms described below. Under the agreement, GTCR may purchase these additional shares of our common stock and our Class A Preferred Stock at the request of our board of directors. Upon any such purchase by GTCR of our common stock or Class A Preferred Stock, the Bajaj purchasers, and the Pearlstein Family, LLC are required to purchase shares of common stock and Class A Preferred Stock in an amount necessary to maintain the same percentage ownership of our common stock, assuming conversion of all our Class A Preferred Stock, among GTCR, the Bajaj purchasers and the Pearlstein Family, LLC as existed after the initial purchase of our common stock under the agreement.
Since September 7, 2001, GTCR, the Bajaj purchasers and the Pearlstein Family, LLC have purchased 4,200,000, 174,999, and 13,125 shares of our common stock, respectively, and 58,744, 2,448, and 184 shares of our Class A Preferred Stock, respectively, for aggregate purchase prices of approximately $62,104,000, $2,588,000, and $194,500, respectively.
The purchase agreement with GTCR, the Bajaj purchasers, and the Pearlstein Family, LLC currently provides that as long as GTCR owns at least a majority of the Class A Preferred Stock, DigitalNet must obtain GTCR's prior written consent before taking various actions, including:
- •
- paying any dividends, other than dividends on the Class A Preferred Stock;
- •
- redeeming, purchasing or otherwise acquiring any of the parent's equity securities, other than redemptions of the Class A Preferred Stock;
- •
- issuing any equity securities or debt securities with equity features;
- •
- subject to certain exceptions, making, or permitting any subsidiary to make any loans or advances to or guarantees for the benefit of, or investments in any person or entity;
- •
- acquiring businesses or merging; or
- •
- consolidating with another entity.
On March 28, 2003, the purchase agreement was amended to terminate the provisions that allow GTCR, the Bajaj purchasers and the Pearlstein Family LLC to purchase Class A Preferred Stock and that require us to obtain GTCR's consent before taking various actions upon consummation of an initial public offering of our common stock. The amendment further provides that we are required to obtain the consent of GTCR before issuing stock-based compensation to Messrs. Bajaj and Pearlstein. GTCR's rights under this provision terminate when GTCR fails to own 37.5% of the amount of our common stock it owns after consummation of an initial public offering of our common stock.
Promissory Notes
As described in "Management—Employment Agreements," in connection with their purchase of our common stock, Messrs. Bajaj, Pearlstein, and Hanau delivered promissory notes to us. As discussed below, the loans to Messrs. Bajaj and Pearlstein were made pursuant to contractual commitments set forth in the Senior Management Agreements dated as of September 7, 2001. A portion of the loan proceeds were
101
advanced to Messrs. Bajaj and Pearlstein after the adoption of Section 402 of the Sarbanes Oxley Act of 2002, which, among other things, prohibits the extension of credit by a public company to its officers. The loans related to the purchase of reserved stock are required to be repaid upon completion of an initial public offering of our common stock. The loans related to the purchase of carry stock are required to be paid in monthly installments until they are fully paid in September 2004, as set forth below. As we were obligated to extend these loans to Messrs. Bajaj and Pearlstein pursuant to agreements entered into prior to the enactment of Section 402, we believe that this extension of credit does not violate Section 402. Due to the relatively recent enactment of Section 402, there is no applicable legal interpretation for these circumstances. Accordingly, there can be no assurances that our interpretation is correct.
Promissory Notes to Purchase Reserved Stock
Messrs. Bajaj and Pearlstein are party to promissory notes that they entered into to purchase shares of reserved stock. Interest accrues on these promissory notes at an annual rate of 5%, compounded annually.
The following table summarizes information about these loans and the amounts outstanding under these loans as of June 30, 2003 with respect to our executive officers:

Purchase Agreement, Escrow Agreement and Transitional Services Agreements In Connection with Our Acquisition of DGS
In November 2002, in connection with our acquisition of DGS, we entered into the following agreements with GetronicsWang Co. LLC, the former owner of DGS:

- a purchase agreement;
- •
- an escrow agreement;
- •
- various transitional services agreements;
- •
- an amended and restated stockholders' agreement; and

Purchase Agreement and Escrow Agreement
On September 27, 2002, we entered into a purchase agreement, pursuant to which we acquired all the membership interests of DGS from GetronicsWang Co. LLC on November 26, 2002 for the purchase price of:
- •
- $183.4 million in cash, $10.6 million of which was placed into escrow by GetronicsWang Co. LLC; and
- •
- 33,500 shares of our Class B Preferred Stock that we issued to GetronicsWang Co. LLC.
104
The purchase price was subject to post-closing adjustment based on the amount of working capital, depreciable assets and accrued contract losses set forth on the balance sheet of DGS as of the day before the closing of the acquisition.
In addition, the purchase agreement provides a sharing arrangement between GetronicsWang Co. LLC and us for accounts receivable we collect under our NASA CSOC contract. Pursuant to the purchase agreement, we agreed to share receipts in respect of the accounts receivable from Lockheed Martin Space Operations Company in the following order:
- •
- first, we were obligated to pay approximately $8.0 million in respect of undisputed accounts receivable to GetronicsWang Co. LLC;
- •
- second, we were entitled to retain approximately $8.5 million in respect of undisputed accounts receivable;
- •
- third, we were obligated to pay approximately $5.8 million in respect of disputed accounts receivable to GetronicsWang Co. LLC;
- •
- fourth, we were entitled to retain approximately $2.0 million in respect of disputed accounts receivable; and
- •
- finally, we were obligated to pay one half of all other amounts receivable in respect of the accounts receivable to GetronicsWang Co. LLC and we were entitled to retain the other half.
In connection with the purchase agreement, we entered into an escrow agreement with GetronicsWang Co. LLC and State Street Bank and Trust Company. Under this agreement, GetronicsWang Co. LLC placed $10.6 million dollars into an escrow account with State Street Bank and Trust Company. Subject to conditions set forth in the purchase agreement and escrow agreement, to the extent that we did not receive the accounts receivable described above, the escrow agreement provided for the payment of up to $10.6 million of undisputed and disputed accounts receivable to us.
In February 2003, we entered into a settlement agreement with GetronicsWang Co. LLC, pursuant to which approximately $9.6 million was released to GetronicsWang Co. LLC from escrow and approximately $1.0 million remains in escrow. Pursuant to the settlement agreement, we paid GetronicsWang Co. LLC an aggregate of approximately $8.3 million in full payment of the purchase price adjustment and approximately $8.0 million in payment of undisputed accounts receivable. We expect to pay GetronicsWang Co. LLC approximately $5.8 million in respect of disputed accounts receivable during 2003.
Transitional Services Agreements
Pursuant to the transitional services agreements, GetronicsWang Co. LLC and we agreed to provide various services to each other at agreed upon fees. The terms of the transitional services agreements continue from execution:
- •
- through fixed dates ranging from March 2003 to November 2004; or
- •
- through the end of various contracts.
Under the agreements, we agreed to provide various services to GetronicsWang Co. LLC including:
- •
- maintenance services under various contracts of GetronicsWang Co. LLC; and
- •
- office space.
105
Under the agreements, GetronicsWang Co. LLC agreed to provide various services to us, including:
- •
- various support services under several of our contracts, including:
- •
- information technology and systems support, including providing licenses for various software used in connection with our contracts;
- •
- maintenance support, including call center and help desk support relating to one of our Department of Defense customer contracts;
- •
- logistics support, including hardware and software support for certain of our customers; and
- •
- benefits continuation services, including providing medical, dental and life insurance to certain employees of DGS.
Prior to the acquisition of DGS, GetronicsWang Co. LLC and DGS provided these services to each other on an intercompany basis. GetronicsWang Co. LLC and we provide the services under the transitional services agreements to each other at market prices and we negotiated the terms of the transitional services agreement on an arm's-length basis.
For the six months ended June 30, 2003, we paid approximately $2.6 million to GetronicsWang Co. LLC and we received no payments from GetronicsWang Co. LLC under these agreements. The amount that we and GetronicsWang Co. LLC will owe to each other under these agreements in future periods is not fixed and will vary based on how extensively the various services covered by the transitional agreements are used. We expect future payments we make to GetronicsWang Co. LLC to be significantly less than those we made in 2002 as approximately 94% of the payments to GetronicsWang Co. LLC for the year ended December 31, 2002 consisted of payments for our participation in benefit plans in which we stopped participating on January 1, 2003.
Preferred Stock
As described above, we have sold shares of Class A Preferred Stock to GTCR, the Bajaj purchasers and the Pearlstein Family LLC and Class B Preferred Stock to GetronicsWang Co. LLC. The material terms of the Class A Preferred Stock and the Class B Preferred Stock are described below.
The holders of the Class A Preferred Stock are entitled to a 6% cumulative dividend, which is paid when declared by the board of directors. As of June 30, 2003, all accrued but unpaid dividends totaled $2.2 million. We can redeem the shares at any time for their liquidation value of $1,000 per share plus all accrued but unpaid dividends. The Class A Preferred Stock has no voting rights. Upon the earlier of the consummation of an initial public offering of our common stock, a change in ownership, or fundamental change, as defined, a majority of the holders of the Class A Preferred Stock can require us to redeem their shares for cash in an amount equal to their liquidation value, plus all accrued but unpaid dividends. If the Class A Preferred Stock has not been redeemed prior to or upon consummation of an initial public offering of our common stock, each share will automatically convert into common stock computed based on the aggregate liquidation value of the Class A Preferred Stock, which includes all accrued but unpaid dividends divided by a number which is equal to the public offering price per share of our common stock.
The holders of the Class B Preferred Stock are entitled to a 6% cumulative dividend, which is paid when declared by the board of directors. As of June 30, 2003, all accrued but unpaid dividends totaled $1.2 million. We can redeem the shares at any time for their liquidation value of $1,000 per share plus accrued but unpaid dividends. In February 2003, we entered into a settlement agreement with GetronicsWang Co. LLC pursuant to which we have the right to redeem for cash all or any shares of the Class B Preferred Stock for their liquidation value plus all accrued and unpaid dividends upon the consummation of an initial public offering of our common stock, if the initial public offering is consummated on or prior to August 26, 2003. The Class B Preferred Stock has no voting rights.
106
Other Relationships with GTCR
GTCR and DigitalNet are parties to a professional services agreement, dated as of September 7, 2001, which entitles GTCR to receive an annual fee of $200,000 until March 7, 2002, and $300,000 thereafter, paid in equal monthly installments, in exchange for financial and management consulting services. As of June 30, 2003, we have accrued, but not paid, $500,000. This agreement also entitles GTCR to receive an investment fee equal to 1% of the purchase price of the common stock and Class A Preferred Stock it purchases from DigitalNet. We paid GTCR investment fees of approximately $10,000 and $613,000 in 2001 and 2002, respectively, under this agreement. The GTCR professional services agreement will terminate upon the consummation of an initial public offering of our common stock.
Board Approval of Related-Party Transactions
We intend to have the terms of all future related-party transactions be no less favorable to us than terms that could be obtained from unaffiliated third parties, and to have all future related-party transactions approved by a majority of our board of directors.

DESCRIPTION OF CERTAIN INDEBTEDNESS
2003 Credit Facility
On July 3, 2003, we entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with a syndicate of financial institutions led by Bank of America, N.A. The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement provides for a $50.0 million revolving credit facility (including a $5.0 million letter of credit subfacility and a $5.0 million swingline subfacility). Availability of credit under the 2003 Credit Facility depends upon the amount of our borrowing base which is generally determined as specified percentages of our eligible receivables. The proceeds of the 2003 Credit Facility will be used for working capital and general corporate purposes, for capital expenditures, and for future acquisitions. Interest under the 2003 Credit Facility is calculated, at our option, at a rate based on the British Bankers Association Interest Settlement Rate for deposits in dollars or based on the higher of Bank of America, N.A.'s prime rate or the federal funds rate plus 50 basis points, in each case plus an applicable margin that varies depending upon our consolidated total leverage ratio. We also pay a commitment fee on the unused portion of the commitments of the lenders under the 2003 Credit Facility at a rate that varies depending upon our consolidated total leverage ratio.
The Issuer is the borrower under this credit facility, and DigitalNet Holdings and its domestic subsidiaries guarantee these obligations. The obligations under the 2003 Credit Facility are secured by substantially all of our assets.
The 2003 Credit Facility terminates and any borrowings thereunder must be repaid on July 3, 2007, the maturity date.
Outstandings under the revolving credit facility may be voluntarily prepaid and reborrowed in whole or in part from time to time without premium or (other than customary interest breakage costs) penalty. The 2003 Credit Facility requires us to make prepayments of outstandings under the facility with the net proceeds of asset sales (without a corresponding mandatory reduction in the committed amount of the facility) subject to a reinvestment period and certain baskets to be agreed upon.
The 2003 Credit Facility contains customary affirmative and negative covenants, including financial covenants that we are required to meet, including:
- •
- a consolidated total leverage ratio of:
- •
- 3.75 to 1.00 or less from the closing of the 2003 Credit Facility until December 31, 2004; and
- •
- 3.50 to 1.00 or less from January 1, 2005 and thereafter;
- •
- a consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio of:
- •
- 1.25 to 1.00 or greater from the closing of the 2003 Credit Facility until December 31, 2003; and
- •
- 1.75 to 1.00 from January 1, 2004 and thereafter;
- •
- a minimum net worth covenant requiring the consolidated net worth of Holdings (defined as shareholders' equity, plus Class A Preferred Stock, plus Class B Preferred Stock, each as set forth on the consolidated balance sheet of Holdings) to be no less than the sum of (i) $89,000,000, plus (ii) an amount equal to 50% of consolidated net income (to the extent positive) after the closing of the 2003 Credit Facility, plus (iii) an amount equal to 100% of all equity issuances after such closing date appearing on the consolidated balance sheet of Holdings, less (iv) an amount equal to the reduction on the consolidated balance sheet of Holdings resulting from redemptions of Class B Preferred Stock after such closing date.
Those covenants also restrict certain of our corporate activities, including, among other things, our ability to make acquisitions, merge or consolidate with other entities, dispose of assets, incur additional indebtedness, pay dividends, create liens, make investments, make capital expenditures, and engage in certain transactions with affiliates. The credit agreement also contains customary events of default, including, among others, defaults based on certain bankruptcy and insolvency events; nonpayment; cross-defaults to other debt; breach of specified covenants; change of control and material inaccuracy of representations and warranties.
110
DESCRIPTION OF NOTES
You can find the definitions of certain terms used in this description under the subheading "Certain Definitions." In this description, the word "Issuer" refers only to DigitalNet, Inc. and not to any of its subsidiaries or its parent company, DigitalNet Holdings, Inc. ("DigitalNet Holdings"). Except as otherwise indicated, the following summary relates to both the old notes and the new notes to be issued in the exchange offer; the term "Note" or "Notes" refers to both the old notes and the new notes.
The terms of the new notes and the old notes are identical in all material respects, except the new notes:
- •
- will have been registered under the Securities Act;
- •
- will not contain transfer restrictions and registration rights that relate to the old notes; and
- •
- will not contain provisions relating to the payment of liquidated damages to be made to the holders of the old notes under circumstances related to the timing of the exchange offer.
The Issuer will issue the Notes under an Indenture (the "Indenture") among itself, DigitalNet Holdings, the Subsidiary Guarantors and Wells Fargo Bank Minnesota, National Association, as trustee (the "Trustee"), in a private transaction that is not subject to the registration requirements of the Securities Act. See "Notice to Investors." The terms of the Notes include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the "Trust Indenture Act").
The following description is a summary of the material provisions of the Indenture. It does not restate those agreements in their entirety. We urge you to read the Indenture because it, and not this description, contain additional information and define the Issuer's obligations and your rights as holders of the Notes. Certain defined terms used in this description but not defined below under "—Certain Definitions" have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.
Brief Description of the Notes and the Note Guarantees
The Notes:
- •
- will be general unsecured obligations of the Issuer;
- •
- will be effectively subordinated to any existing or future secured Indebtedness of the Issuer, including the Indebtedness of the Issuer under the Credit Agreement, to the extent of the value of the assets securing such Indebtedness;
- •
- will bepari passu in right of payment with any existing or future unsecured Unsubordinated Indebtedness of the Issuer;
- •
- will be senior in right of payment to any existing or future subordinated Indebtedness of the Issuer; and
- •
- will be guaranteed by DigitalNet Holdings and the Subsidiary Guarantors as described under "—Note Guarantees."
The Notes are guaranteed by DigitalNet Holdings and all of the Domestic Subsidiaries of the Issuer. As of the date of the Indenture, all of our subsidiaries, other than HFS GmbH will be "Domestic Subsidiaries." In the future, we may have additional subsidiaries which are not "Domestic Subsidiaries." We refer to the Subsidiaries that guarantee the Notes as "Subsidiary Guarantors."
111
Each Guarantee of the Notes:
- •
- will be a general unsecured obligation of the Guarantor;
- •
- will be effectively subordinated to any existing or future secured Indebtedness of the Guarantor, including the Guarantor's guarantee of the Indebtedness and other obligations of the Issuer under the Credit Agreement and such Guarantor's other obligations under such guarantee, to the extent of the value of the assets securing such Indebtedness;
- •
- will bepari passu in right of payment with any existing or future unsecured Unsubordinated Indebtedness of the Guarantor; and
- •
- will be senior in right of payment to any existing or future subordinated Indebtedness of the Guarantor.
As of the date of the Indenture, all of our subsidiaries will be "Restricted Subsidiaries." However, under the circumstances described below under the subheading "—Certain Covenants—Designation of Restricted and Unrestricted Subsidiaries," we will be permitted to designate certain of our subsidiaries as "Unrestricted Subsidiaries." Our Unrestricted Subsidiaries will not be subject to any of the restrictive covenants in the Indenture. Our Unrestricted Subsidiaries will not guarantee the Notes.
As of the date of the Indenture, none of our Foreign Subsidiaries will Guarantee the Notes. In the event of a bankruptcy, liquidation or reorganization of any of these non-guarantor Subsidiaries, the non-guarantor Subsidiaries will pay the holders of their debt and their trade creditors before they will be able to distribute any of their assets to us. In addition, in certain circumstances, we will be required to pledge the ownership interests of our Foreign Subsidiaries to the lenders pursuant to the Credit Agreement. As of the date of the Indenture, the Issuer has only one Foreign Subsidiary. The Foreign Subsidiary does not conduct any of the Issuer's business or own any material assets.
The notes will not be Guaranteed by any of the Issuer's existing or future Foreign Subsidiaries unless any such Foreign Subsidiary Guarantees any other Indebtedness of the Issuer or any Domestic Subsidiary.
Principal, Maturity and Interest
The Indenture provides for the issuance by the Issuer of Notes with an initial principal amount of $125.0 million. The Issuer may issue additional notes (the "Additional Notes") from time to time after this offering. Any offering of Additional Notes is subject to the covenant described below under the caption "—Certain Covenants—Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Preferred Stock." The Notes and any Additional Notes subsequently issued under the Indenture would be treated as a single class for all purposes under the Indenture, including, without limitation, waivers, amendments, redemptions and offers to purchase. The Issuer will issue Notes in denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples of $1,000. The Notes will mature on July 15, 2010.
Interest on the Notes will accrue at the rate of 9% per annum and will be payable semi-annually in arrears on January 15 and July 15, commencing on January 15, 2004. The Issuer will make each interest payment to the Holders of record on the immediately preceding January 1 and July 1.
Interest on the Notes will accrue from the date of original issuance or, if interest has already been paid, from the date it was most recently paid. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months.
Methods of Receiving Payments on the Notes
If a Holder has given wire transfer instructions to the Issuer, the Issuer will pay all principal, interest and premium and Liquidated Damages, if any, on that Holder's Notes in accordance with those instructions. All other payments on Notes will be made at the office or agency of the Paying Agent and Registrar within the
112
City and State of New York unless the Issuer elects to make interest payments by check mailed to the Holders at their addresses set forth in the register of Holders.
Paying Agent and Registrar for the Notes
The Trustee will initially act as Paying Agent and Registrar. The Issuer may change the Paying Agent or Registrar without prior notice to the Holders, and the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries may act as Paying Agent or Registrar.
Transfer and Exchange
A Holder may transfer or exchange Notes in accordance with the Indenture. The Registrar and the Trustee may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and the Issuer may require a Holder to pay any taxes and fees required by law or permitted by the Indenture. The Issuer is not required to transfer or exchange any Note selected for redemption. Also, the Issuer is not required to transfer or exchange any Note for a period of 15 days before a selection of Notes to be redeemed.
The registered Holder of a Note will be treated as the owner of it for all purposes. Only registered holders will have rights under the Indenture.
Note Guarantees
DigitalNet Holdings and the Subsidiary Guarantors will jointly and severally guarantee the Issuer's obligations under the Notes. The obligations of each Guarantor under its Note Guarantee will be limited as necessary to prevent that Note Guarantee from constituting a fraudulent conveyance under applicable law. See "Risk Factors—Federal and state statutes allow courts, under specific circumstances, to void guarantees and require noteholders to return payments received from guarantors."
DigitalNet Holdings or any Subsidiary of DigitalNet Holdings that owns any Equity Interests of the Issuer may not sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its assets to, or consolidate with or merge with or into (whether or not DigitalNet Holdings or such Subsidiary of DigitalNet Holdings is the surviving Person), another Person unless:
- (1)
- immediately after giving effect to that transaction, no Default or Event of Default exists; and
- (2)
- the Person acquiring the property in any such sale or disposition or the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger is organized or existing under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia and assumes all the obligations of DigitalNet Holdings or such Subsidiary of DigitalNet Holdings under the Indenture, its Note Guarantee and the Registration Rights Agreement pursuant to a supplemental indenture satisfactory to the Trustee.
A Subsidiary Guarantor may not sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its assets to, or consolidate with or merge with or into (whether or not such Subsidiary Guarantor is the surviving Person), another Person, other than the Issuer or another Subsidiary Guarantor, unless:
- (1)
- immediately after giving effect to that transaction, no Default or Event of Default exists; and
- (2)
- either:
- (a)
- the Person acquiring the property in any such sale or disposition or the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger is organized or existing under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia and assumes all the obligations of that Subsidiary Guarantor under the Indenture, its Note Guarantee and the Registration Rights Agreement pursuant to a supplemental indenture satisfactory to the Trustee; or
113
- (b)
- such sale or other disposition complies with the "Asset Sale" provisions of the Indenture, including the application of the Net Proceeds therefrom.
The Note Guarantee of a Subsidiary Guarantor will be released:
- (1)
- in connection with any sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of that Subsidiary Guarantor (including by way of merger or consolidation) to a Person that is not (either before or after giving effect to such transaction) a Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer, if the sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of that Subsidiary Guarantor complies with the "Asset Sale" provisions of the Indenture;
- (2)
- in connection with any sale of all of the Capital Stock of a Subsidiary Guarantor to a Person that is not (either before or after giving effect to such transaction) a Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer, if the sale of all such Capital Stock of that Subsidiary Guarantor complies with the "Asset Sale" provisions of the Indenture; or
- (3)
- if the Issuer properly designates any Restricted Subsidiary that is a Subsidiary Guarantor as an Unrestricted Subsidiary.
Ranking
The Notes will rank equal in right of payment to all existing and future unsecured Unsubordinated Indebtedness and senior in right of payment to all subordinated Indebtedness of the Issuer. The Notes, however, will be effectively subordinated to the Issuer's secured obligations, including indebtedness and other obligations under the Credit Facility, to the extent of the value of the collateral securing such obligations. Additionally, the Notes will be effectively subordinated to all liabilities, including trade payables, of the Issuer's subsidiaries that are not Subsidiary Guarantors. The Note Guarantees will rank equal in right of payment with all existing and future unsecured Unsubordinated Indebtedness of the Guarantor. In addition, the Note Guarantees will be effectively subordinated to all of the Guarantors' secured obligations, including the Guarantor's guarantee of the indebtedness and other obligations of the Issuer under the Credit Agreement and such Guarantor's other obligations under such guarantee, to the extent of the value of the collateral securing such obligations.
Assuming this offering and the Issuer's planned repayment of existing debt was completed on March 31, 2003, the Issuer and DigitalNet Holdings would have had $130.0 million of debt outstanding, all of which would have been debt of the Issuer and the Subsidiary Guarantors, and $5.0 million of which would have been secured debt; and none of which would have been subordinated to the Notes or the guarantees.
Optional Redemption
At any time prior to July 15, 2006, the Issuer may redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes issued under the Indenture at a redemption price of 109.00% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, to the redemption date, with the net cash proceeds received by the Issuer from one or more Equity Offerings;provided that:
- (1)
- at least 65% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes (including any Additional Notes) issued under the Indenture remains outstanding immediately after the occurrence of such redemption (excluding Notes held by DigitalNet Holdings, the Issuer and the Issuer's Subsidiaries); and
- (2)
- the redemption must occur within 90 days of the date of the closing of such Equity Offering.
Except pursuant to the preceding paragraph, the Notes will not be redeemable at the Issuer's option prior to July 15, 2007.
After July 15, 2007, the Issuer may redeem all or a part of the Notes upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days' notice, at the redemption prices (expressed as percentages of principal amount) set forth below
114
plus accrued and unpaid interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, thereon, to the applicable redemption date, if redeemed during the twelve-month period beginning on July 15 of the years indicated below:
Year
| | Percentage
| |
---|
2007 | | 104.50 | % |
2008 | | 102.25 | % |
2009 and thereafter | | 100.00 | % |
The Credit Agreement will contain provisions that prohibit or otherwise limit the ability of the Issuer to make any optional redemption.
Mandatory Redemption
The Issuer is not required to make mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments with respect to the Notes.
Selection and Notice
If less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed at any time, the Trustee will select Notes for redemption as follows:
- (1)
- if the Notes are listed, in compliance with the requirements of the principal national securities exchange on which the Notes are listed; or
- (2)
- if the Notes are not so listed, on a pro rata basis, by lot or by such method as the Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate.
No Notes of $1,000 or less shall be redeemed in part. Notices of redemption shall be mailed by first class mail at least 30 but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each Holder of Notes to be redeemed at its registered address. Notices of redemption may not be conditional.
If any Note is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption that relates to that Note shall state the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. A new Note in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the original Note will be issued in the name of the Holder thereof upon cancellation of the original Note. Notes called for redemption become due on the date fixed for redemption. On and after the redemption date, interest ceases to accrue on Notes or portions of them called for redemption.
Repurchase at the Option of Holders
If a Change of Control occurs, each Holder of Notes will have the right to require the Issuer to repurchase all or any part (equal to $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof) of that Holder's Notes pursuant to a Change of Control Offer on the terms set forth in the Indenture. In the Change of Control Offer, the Issuer will offer a Change of Control Payment in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, thereon, to the date of purchase;provided, however, that notwithstanding the occurrence of a Change of Control, the Issuer will not be obligated to offer to purchase or purchase the Notes pursuant to this covenant if, prior to the time that the Issuer would be required to offer to purchase the Notes as a result of such Change of Control, the Issuer has mailed the requisite irrevocable notice to redeem all the outstanding Notes pursuant to the provisions described under "Optional Redemption" and redeems all the Notes in accordance with such notice. Within 30 days following any Change of Control, the Issuer will mail a notice to each Holder describing the transaction or transactions that constitute the Change of Control and offering to repurchase Notes on the Change of Control Payment Date specified in such notice, which date shall be no earlier than 30 days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed, pursuant to the procedures required by the Indenture
115
and described in such notice. The Issuer will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent such laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the Notes as a result of a Change of Control. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the Change of Control provisions of the Indenture, the Issuer will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under the Change of Control provisions of the Indenture by virtue of such conflict.
On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Issuer will, to the extent lawful:
- (1)
- accept for payment all Notes or portions thereof properly tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer;
- (2)
- deposit with the Paying Agent an amount equal to the Change of Control Payment in respect of all Notes or portions thereof so tendered; and
- (3)
- deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Notes so accepted together with an Officers' Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Notes or portions thereof being purchased by the Issuer.
The Paying Agent will promptly mail to each Holder of Notes so tendered the Change of Control Payment for such Notes, and the Trustee will promptly authenticate and mail (or cause to be transferred by book entry) to each Holder a new Note equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered, if any;provided that each such new Note will be in a principal amount of $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof.
The Issuer will publicly announce the results of the Change of Control Offer on or as soon as practicable after the Change of Control Payment Date.
The Credit Agreement will (with certain exceptions) prohibit the Issuer from purchasing any Notes and will provide that certain change of control events (including, without limitation, any change of control as defined in the Indenture) with respect to the Issuer would constitute a default under the Credit Agreement. Any future credit agreements or other agreements relating to Indebtedness to which the Issuer becomes a party may contain similar restrictions and provisions. In the event a Change of Control occurs at a time when the Issuer is prohibited from purchasing Notes, the Issuer could seek the consent of the requisite lenders to the purchase of Notes or could attempt to refinance the borrowings that contain such prohibition. If the Issuer does not obtain such a consent or repay such borrowings, the Issuer will remain prohibited from purchasing Notes. In such case, the Issuer's failure to purchase tendered Notes would constitute an Event of Default under the Indenture which would, in turn, constitute a default under the Credit Agreement and could constitute a default under any such other Indebtedness.
The provisions described above that require the Issuer to make a Change of Control Offer following a Change of Control will be applicable regardless of whether any other provisions of the Indenture are applicable. Except as described above with respect to a Change of Control, the Indenture does not contain provisions that permit the Holders of the Notes to require that the Issuer repurchase or redeem the Notes in the event of a takeover, recapitalization or similar transaction.
The Issuer will not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon a Change of Control if a third party makes the Change of Control Offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in the Indenture applicable to a Change of Control Offer made by the Issuer and purchases all Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn under such Change of Control Offer.
116
The definition of Change of Control includes a phrase relating to the direct or indirect sale, lease, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of "all or substantially all" of the properties or assets of DigitalNet Holdings and its subsidiaries or the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries, in each case, taken as a whole. Although there is a limited body of case law interpreting the phrase "substantially all," there is no precise established definition of the phrase under applicable law. Accordingly, the ability of a Holder of Notes to require the Issuer to repurchase such Notes as a result of a sale, lease, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of less than all of the assets of DigitalNet Holdings and its subsidiaries or the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries, in each case, taken as a whole to another Person or group may be uncertain.
The Issuer will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, consummate an Asset Sale unless:
- (1)
- the Issuer (or the Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be) receives consideration at the time of such Asset Sale at least equal to the fair market value of the assets or Equity Interests issued or sold or otherwise disposed of;
- (2)
- such fair market value is determined by the Issuer's Board of Directors and evidenced by a resolution of such Board of Directors set forth in an Officers' Certificate delivered to the Trustee; and
- (3)
- at least 75% of the consideration therefor received by the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary is in the form of cash or Cash Equivalents. For purposes of this provision, each of the following shall be deemed to be cash:
- (a)
- any liabilities (as shown on the Issuer's or such Restricted Subsidiary's most recent balance sheet), of the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary (other than contingent liabilities and liabilities that are by their terms subordinated to the Notes or any Note Guarantee) that are either (i) assumed by the transferee of any such assets pursuant to a customary written novation agreement that releases the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary from further liability or (ii) in respect of which the Issuer and any Restricted Subsidiary are otherwise released from further liability by operation of law; and
- (b)
- any securities, notes or other obligations received by the Issuer or any such Restricted Subsidiary from such transferee that are contemporaneously or within 90 days converted by the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary into cash (to the extent of the cash received in that conversion).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries may exchange property or assets held by any of them for property or assets held by any other Person (or Capital Stock of a Person (a) whose assets are of a type that would satisfy clause (4) below and (b) would be a Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer immediately following the exchange);provided that (i) the assets received by the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer in any such exchange in the good faith reasonable judgment of the Issuer's Board of Directors will immediately constitute, be a part of, or be used in a Permitted Business by the Issuer or its Restricted Subsidiaries, (ii) the Issuer's Board of Directors has determined that the terms of any such exchange are fair and reasonable and (iii) any cash or Cash Equivalents received by the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer in any such exchange will be treated as Net Proceeds from an Asset Sale and applied in accordance with this covenant.
Within 365 days after the receipt of any Net Proceeds from an Asset Sale, the Issuer may apply such Net Proceeds at its option:
- (1)
- to repay Indebtedness under (x) the Credit Facilities or (y) Unsubordinated Indebtedness of the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary secured by such assets or (z) Indebtedness of a Foreign
117
Pending the final application of any such Net Proceeds, the Issuer may temporarily reduce revolving credit borrowings or otherwise invest such Net Proceeds in any manner that is not prohibited by the Indenture.
Any Net Proceeds from Asset Sales that are not applied or invested as provided in the preceding paragraph will constitute "Excess Proceeds." When the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $15.0 million, the Issuer will make an Asset Sale Offer to all Holders of Notes and all holders of other Indebtedness that ispari passu with the Notes containing provisions similar to those set forth in the Indenture with respect to offers to purchase with the proceeds of sales of assets to purchase the maximum principal amount of Notes and such otherpari passu Indebtedness that may be purchased out of the Excess Proceeds. The offer price in any Asset Sale Offer will be equal to 100% of principal amount (or 100% of the accreted value thereof, in the case of Indebtedness sold at a discount, as the case may be) plus accrued and unpaid interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, to the date of purchase, and will be payable in cash. If any Excess Proceeds remain after consummation of an Asset Sale Offer, the Issuer may use such Excess Proceeds for any purpose not otherwise prohibited by the Indenture. If the aggregate principal amount of Notes and the aggregate principal amount (or accreted value, as applicable) of such otherpari passu Indebtedness tendered into such Asset Sale Offer exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds, the Trustee shall select the Notes and such otherpari passu Indebtedness to be purchased on a pro rata basis based on the principal amount of Notes and the aggregate principal amount (or accreted value, as applicable) of such otherpari passu Indebtedness tendered. Upon completion of each Asset Sale Offer, the amount of Excess Proceeds shall be reset at zero.
The Issuer will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent such laws and regulations are applicable in connection with each repurchase of Notes pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the Asset Sales provisions of the Indenture, the Issuer will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under the Asset Sale provisions of the Indenture by virtue of such conflict.
The Credit Agreement will (with certain exceptions) prohibit the Issuer from purchasing any Notes, and also provides that certain asset sale events with respect to the Issuer would constitute a default under the Credit Agreement. Any future credit agreements or other agreements relating to Indebtedness to which the Issuer becomes a party may contain similar restrictions and provisions. In the event an Asset Sale occurs at a time when the Issuer is prohibited from purchasing Notes, the Issuer could seek the consent of the applicable lenders to the purchase of Notes or could attempt to refinance the borrowings that contain such prohibition. If the Issuer does not obtain such a consent or repay such borrowings, the Issuer will remain prohibited from purchasing Notes. In such case, the Issuer's failure to purchase tendered Notes would constitute an Event of Default under the Indenture which would, in turn, constitute a default under the Credit Agreement and could constitute a default under any such other Indebtedness.
118
Certain Covenants
The Issuer will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly:
- (1)
- declare or pay any dividend or make any other payment or distribution on account of the Issuer's or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries' Equity Interests (including, without limitation, any payment in connection with any merger or consolidation involving the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries) or to the direct or indirect holders of the Issuer's or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries' Equity Interests in their capacity as such, other than dividends or distributions payable in Equity Interests (other than Disqualified Stock) of the Issuer or to the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer;
- (2)
- purchase, redeem or otherwise acquire or retire for value (including, without limitation, in connection with any merger or consolidation involving the Issuer) (a) any Equity Interests of the Issuer, (b) any Equity Interests of any direct or indirect parent of the Issuer (including, without limitation, DigitalNet Holdings) or (c) any Equity Interests of any Subsidiary of the Issuer (other than Equity Interests of a Restricted Subsidiary);

unless, at the time of and after giving effect to such Restricted Payment:
- (1)
- no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would occur as a consequence thereof; and
- (2)
- the Issuer would, at the time of such Restricted Payment and after giving pro forma effect thereto as if such Restricted Payment had been made at the beginning of the applicable four-quarter period, have been permitted to incur at least $1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant to the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio test set forth in the first paragraph of the covenant described below under the caption "—Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Preferred Stock;" and
- (3)
- such Restricted Payment, together with the aggregate amount of all other Restricted Payments made by the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries after the date of the Indenture (excluding Restricted Payments permitted by clauses (2), (3), (4), (6), (7), (8) and (10) of the next succeeding paragraph), is less than the sum, without duplication, of:
- (a)
- 50% of the Consolidated Net Income of the Issuer for the period (taken as one accounting period) from the beginning of the fiscal quarter during which the Notes are issued to the end of the Issuer's most recently ended fiscal quarter for which internal financial statements are available at the time of such Restricted Payment (or, if such Consolidated Net Income for such period is a deficit, less 100% of such deficit);plus
- (b)
- 100% of the aggregate net cash proceeds received by the Issuer since the date of the Indenture as a contribution to its common equity capital or from the issue or sale of Equity Interests of the Issuer (other than Disqualified Stock) or from the issue or sale of convertible or exchangeable Disqualified Stock or convertible or exchangeable debt securities of the Issuer
119

- (3)
- so long as no Default has occurred and is continuing, the defeasance, redemption, repurchase or other acquisition of subordinated Indebtedness of the Issuer or any Subsidiary Guarantor with the net cash proceeds from an incurrence of Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness;

120
- (6)
- so long as no Default has occurred and is continuing, dividends or other distributions to DigitalNet Holdings so that DigitalNet Holdings may repurchase shares of Class B Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock at a purchase price not to exceed the liquidation preference thereof in one or more transactions;provided,however, that at the time of any such dividend and the related repurchase the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio for the Issuer's most recently ended four full fiscal quarters for which internal financial statements are available immediately preceding the date of such repurchase would have been not less than 3.5 to 1, determined on a pro forma basis, as if such dividend, the related repurchase and any incurrence of Indebtedness related to such repurchase had occurred at the beginning of such four-quarter period;
- (7)
- dividends to any direct parent of the Issuer, including, without limitation, DigitalNet Holdings, so that DigitalNet Holdings may (a) pay corporate operating (including, without limitation, directors fees and expenses and indemnification payments to directors) and overhead expenses in the ordinary course of business related to the Issuer and its Subsidiaries, such amount not to exceed $750,000 in any fiscal year of the Issuer, (b) pay the cost of directors' and officers' insurance and the costs incurred in connection with any financing, the proceeds of which are or are intended to be contributed to the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary, and (c) pay any taxes which are due and payable in the ordinary course of business by DigitalNet Holdings as part of the consolidated group consisting of DigitalNet Holdings, any Subsidiary of DigitalNet Holdings that is the direct parent of the Issuer, the Issuer and the Issuer's Subsidiaries;

- so long as no Default has occurred and is continuing, Restricted Payments in an amount which, when taken together with all other Restricted Payments made pursuant to this clause (10), does not exceed $5.0 million.

For purposes of this covenant, the amount of any Restricted Payment made or returned, if other than in cash, shall be the fair market value thereof, as determined in the good faith reasonable judgment of our Board of Directors, unless stated otherwise, at the time made or returned, as applicable. Additionally, concurrently with each Restricted Payment, the Issuer shall deliver an Officers' Certificate to the Trustee describing in reasonable detail the nature of such Restricted Payment in excess of $2.5 million, stating the amount of such Restricted Payment, stating in reasonable detail the provisions of the Indenture pursuant to which such Restricted Payment was made and certifying that such Restricted Payment was made in compliance with the terms of the Indenture.
The Issuer will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create, incur, issue, assume, guarantee or otherwise become directly or indirectly liable, contingently or otherwise, with respect to (collectively, "incur") any Indebtedness (including Acquired Debt), and the Issuer will not issue any Disqualified Stock and the Issuer will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to issue any Disqualified Stock or preferred stock;provided, however, that the Issuer and the Subsidiary Guarantors may incur Indebtedness (including Acquired Debt), if the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio for the Issuer's most recently ended four full fiscal quarters for which internal financial statements are available immediately preceding the date on which such additional Indebtedness is incurred would have been at least 2.0 to 1,
121
determined on a pro forma basis (including a pro forma application of the net proceeds therefrom), as if the additional Indebtedness had been incurred at the beginning of such four-quarter period.
The first paragraph of this covenant will not prohibit the incurrence of any of the following items of Indebtedness (collectively, "Permitted Debt"):
- (1)
- the incurrence by the Issuer and the Subsidiary Guarantors of Indebtedness under Credit Facilities (and the incurrence by the Subsidiary Guarantors of guarantees thereof) in an aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding (with letters of credit being deemed to have a principal amount equal to the maximum potential liability of the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries thereunder) not to exceed the greater of (a) $60.0 million and (b) 90% (or such applicable lower percentage or percentages specified in the relevant Credit Facilities in effect from time to time pursuant to this clause (1) with respect to specified categories of accounts receivable) of the consolidated book value of the accounts receivable of the Issuer and the Subsidiary Guarantors as set forth on the most recent available quarterly or annual consolidated balance sheet of the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries prepared in conformity with GAAP;
- (2)
- the incurrence by the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries of the Existing Indebtedness;
- (3)
- the incurrence by the Issuer and the Subsidiary Guarantors of Indebtedness represented by the Notes and the related Note Guarantees to be issued on the date of the Indenture and the Exchange Notes and the related Note Guarantees to be issued pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement;
- (4)
- the incurrence by the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary of Indebtedness represented by Capital Lease Obligations, mortgage financings or purchase money obligations, in each case, incurred for the purpose of financing all or any part of the purchase price or cost of construction or improvement of property, plant or equipment used in the business of the Issuer or such Subsidiary Guarantor, in an aggregate principal amount, including all Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness incurred to refund, refinance or replace any Indebtedness incurred pursuant to this clause (4), not to exceed $15.0 million at any time outstanding;
- (5)
- the incurrence by the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary of Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness in exchange for, or the net proceeds of which are used to refund, refinance or replace Indebtedness (other than intercompany Indebtedness) that was permitted by the Indenture to be incurred under the first paragraph of this covenant or clauses (2), (3), (4), (5), (12) or (13) of this paragraph;
- (6)
- the incurrence by the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of intercompany Indebtedness between or among the Issuer and any of its Restricted Subsidiaries;provided, however, that:
- (a)
- if the Issuer or any Subsidiary Guarantor is the obligor on such Indebtedness, such Indebtedness must be expressly subordinated to the prior payment in full in cash of all Obligations with respect to the Notes, in the case of the Issuer, or the Note Guarantee, in the case of a Subsidiary Guarantor; and
- (b)
- (i) any subsequent issuance or transfer of Equity Interests that results in any such Indebtedness being held by a Person other than the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary thereof and (ii) any sale or other transfer of any such Indebtedness to a Person that is not either the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary thereof, shall be deemed, in each case, to constitute an incurrence of such Indebtedness by the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, that was not permitted by this clause (6);
- (7)
- the incurrence by the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Hedging Obligations that are incurred for non-speculative purposes, including for the purpose of fixing or hedging interest rate risk with respect to any Indebtedness that is permitted by the terms of this Indenture to be outstanding or for the purpose of fixing or hedging currency exchange rate risk or commodity price risk and not for speculative purposes;provided that Hedging Obligations for the purpose of fixing
122
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this covenant, (a) the Issuer shall not, and shall not permit any Subsidiary Guarantor to, incur any Indebtedness pursuant to this covenant if the proceeds thereof are used, directly or indirectly, to Refinance any Subordinated Obligations unless such Indebtedness shall be subordinated to the Notes or the applicable Subsidiary Guarantee, as the case may be, to at least the same extent as such Subordinated Obligations and (b) the Issuer shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer that is not a Subsidiary Guarantor to incur any Indebtedness pursuant to this covenant if the proceeds thereof are used, directly or indirectly, to Refinance any Indebtedness of the Issuer or any Subsidiary Guarantor.
For purposes of determining compliance with this "Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Preferred Stock" covenant, in the event that any proposed Indebtedness meets the criteria of more than one of the categories of Permitted Debt described in clauses (1) through (14) above, or is entitled to be incurred pursuant to the first paragraph of this covenant, the Issuer will be permitted to classify such item of Indebtedness on the date of its incurrence, or later reclassify all or a portion of such item of Indebtedness, in any manner that complies with this covenant. Indebtedness under Credit Facilities incurred or outstanding on

the date on which Notes are first issued and authenticated under the Indenture shall be deemed to have been incurred on such date in reliance on the exception provided by clause (1) of the definition of Permitted Debt.
The accrual of interest, the accretion or amortization of original issue discount and the payment of interest on any Indebtedness of the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary in the form of additional Indebtedness with the same terms will not be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness for purposes of this covenant; provided, in each such case, that the amount thereof is included in Fixed Charges of the Issuer as accrued.
For the purposes of determining compliance with any restriction on the incurrence of Indebtedness where Indebtedness is denominated in a currency other than U.S. dollars, the amount of such Indebtedness will be the U.S. Dollar Equivalent determined on the date of such determination;provided,however, that if any such Indebtedness that is denominated in a different currency is subject to a Currency Exchange Agreement with respect to U.S. dollars covering principal amounts payable on such Indebtedness, the amount of such Indebtedness expressed in U.S. dollars will be adjusted to take into account the effect of such an agreement. The principal amount of any Indebtedness incurred in the same currency as the Indebtedness being Refinanced will be the U.S. Dollar Equivalent of the Indebtedness Refinanced determined on the date such Indebtedness being Refinanced was initially incurred. Notwithstanding any other provision of this covenant, the maximum amount that the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer may incur pursuant to this covenant shall not be deemed to be exceeded, with respect to outstanding Indebtedness, due solely to the result of fluctuations in the exchange rates of currencies.
The Issuer will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, create, incur, assume or otherwise cause or suffer to exist or become effective any Lien of any kind securing Indebtedness or Attributable Debt (other than Permitted Liens) upon any of their property or assets, now owned or hereafter acquired, unless all payments due under the Indenture and the Notes are secured on an equal and ratable basis with the obligations so secured until such time as such obligations are no longer secured by a Lien.
The Issuer will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create or permit to exist or become effective any consensual encumbrance or restriction on the ability of any Restricted Subsidiary to:
- (1)
- pay dividends or make any other distributions on its Capital Stock to the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, or with respect to any other interest or participation in, or measured by, its profits, or pay any Indebtedness owed to the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (it being understood that the priority of any preferred stock in receiving dividends or liquidating distributions prior to dividends or liquidating distributions being paid on common stock shall not be deemed a restriction on the ability to make distributions on Capital Stock);
- (2)
- make loans or advances to the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (it being understood that the subordination of loans or advances made to any Restricted Subsidiary to other Indebtedness incurred by any Restricted Subsidiary, or the waiver or deferral of the rights of a Guarantor to reimbursement, indemnity, subrogation or similar rights, shall not be deemed a restriction on the ability to make loans or advances); or
- (3)
- transfer any of its properties or assets to the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries.
124
However, the preceding restrictions will not apply to encumbrances or restrictions existing under or by reason of:
- (1)
- Existing Indebtedness or the Credit Facilities, in each case, as in effect on the date of the Indenture and any amendments, modifications, restatements, renewals, increases, supplements, refundings, replacements or refinancings thereof,provided that such amendments, modifications, restatements, renewals, increases, supplements, refundings, replacements or refinancings are no more restrictive, taken as a whole, than those contained in such Existing Indebtedness or the Credit Facilities, as in effect on the date of the Indenture;
- (2)
- the Indenture, the Notes and the Note Guarantees;
- (3)
- applicable law or any regulation or order required by any governmental authority or any contracts with customers entered into in the ordinary course of business that impose restrictions of the nature described in clause (3) of the preceding paragraph;
- (4)
- any instrument or agreement governing Indebtedness, Capital Stock or assets of a Person acquired by the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries as in effect at the time of such acquisition (except to the extent such Indebtedness was incurred in connection with or in contemplation of such acquisition), which encumbrance or restriction is not applicable to any Person, or the properties or assets of any Person, other than the Person or any of its Subsidiaries, or the property or assets of the Person or any of its Subsidiaries, so acquired,provided that, in the case of Indebtedness, such Indebtedness was permitted by the terms of the Indenture to be incurred;
- (5)
- customary non-assignment provisions in leases entered into in the ordinary course of business;
- (6)
- purchase money obligations or Capital Lease Obligations for property acquired in the ordinary course of business that impose restrictions on the property so acquired of the nature described in clause (3) of the preceding paragraph;
- (7)
- any agreement for the sale or other disposition of a Restricted Subsidiary that restricts distributions by that Restricted Subsidiary pending its sale or other disposition or any agreement for the sale or other disposition of any property or assets that restricts the sale or other disposition of such property or assets pending such sale or other disposition;
- (8)
- Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness,provided that the restrictions contained in the agreements governing such Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness are no more restrictive, taken as a whole, than those contained in the agreements governing the Indebtedness being refinanced;
- (9)
- Permitted Liens that impose encumbrances or restrictions of the nature described in clause (3) of the preceding paragraph;
- (10)
- restrictions imposed by customary provisions in joint venture agreements that restrict the transfer of the interest in the joint venture;
- (11)
- restrictions on cash or other deposits or net worth imposed by customers or required by insurance, surety or bonding companies under contracts entered into in the ordinary course of business;
- (12)
- customary restrictions imposed on the transfer and assignment of intellectual property; and
- (13)
- encumbrances or restrictions contained in any Indebtedness incurred by a Foreign Subsidiary that apply only to such Foreign Subsidiary.

- (1)
- either: (a) the Issuer is the surviving corporation; or (b) the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger (if other than the Issuer) or to which such sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition shall have been made is a corporation organized or existing under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia;

DigitalNet Holdings and any Subsidiary of DigitalNet Holdings that owns any Equity Interests of the Issuer may not sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its assets to, or consolidate with or merge with or into (whether or not DigitalNet Holdings or such Subsidiary of DigitalNet Holdings is the surviving Person), another Person unless:

- (2)
- the Person acquiring the property in any such sale or disposition or the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger is organized or existing under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia and assumes all the obligations of DigitalNet Holdings or such Subsidiary of DigitalNet Holdings under the Indenture, its Note Guarantee and the Registration Rights Agreement pursuant to a supplemental indenture satisfactory to the Trustee.
A Subsidiary Guarantor may not sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its assets to, or consolidate with or merge with or into (whether or not such Subsidiary Guarantor is the surviving Person), another Person, other than the Issuer or another Subsidiary Guarantor, unless:
- (1)
- immediately after giving effect to that transaction, no Default or Event of Default exists; and
- (2)
- either:
- (a)
- the Person acquiring the property in any such sale or disposition or the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger is organized or existing under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia and assumes all the obligations of that Subsidiary Guarantor under the Indenture, its Note Guarantee and the Registration Rights Agreement pursuant to a supplemental indenture satisfactory to the Trustee; or
- (b)
- such sale or other disposition complies with the "Asset Sale" provisions of the Indenture, including the application of the Net Proceeds therefrom.
In addition, none of DigitalNet Holdings, any Subsidiary of DigitalNet Holdings that owns any Equity Interests of the Issuer, the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary may, directly or indirectly, lease all or
126
substantially all of its properties or assets, in one or more related transactions, to any other Person. This "Merger, Consolidation or Sale of Assets" covenant will not apply to (a) a sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of assets between or among the Issuer and any of its Restricted Subsidiaries or (b) a merger of the Issuer into an Affiliate of the Issuer solely for the purpose and with the sole effect of reincorporating the Issuer in another jurisdiction.
The Issuer will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, make any payment to, or sell, lease, transfer or otherwise dispose of any of its properties or assets to, or purchase any property or assets from, or enter into or make or amend any transaction, contract, agreement, understanding, loan, advance or guarantee with, or for the benefit of, any Affiliate (each, an "Affiliate Transaction"), unless:
- (1)
- such Affiliate Transaction is on terms, taken as a whole, that are no less favorable to the Issuer or the relevant Restricted Subsidiary than those that would have been obtained in a comparable transaction by the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary with an unrelated Person; and
- (2)
- the Issuer delivers to the Trustee:
- (a)
- with respect to any Affiliate Transaction or series of related Affiliate Transactions involving aggregate consideration in excess of $5.0 million, a resolution of the Board of Directors of the Issuer set forth in an Officers' Certificate certifying that such Affiliate Transaction complies with this covenant and that such Affiliate Transaction has been approved by a majority of the disinterested members of the Board of Directors of the Issuer; and
- (b)
- with respect to any Affiliate Transaction or series of related Affiliate Transactions involving aggregate consideration in excess of $10.0 million, an opinion as to the fairness to the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary of such Affiliate Transaction from a financial point of view issued by an accounting, appraisal or investment banking firm of national standing.
The following items shall not be deemed to be Affiliate Transactions and, therefore, will not be subject to the provisions of the prior paragraph:
- (1)
- transactions between or among the Issuer and/or its Restricted Subsidiaries;
- (2)
- payment of reasonable directors fees to Persons who are not otherwise Affiliates of the Issuer and the provision and payment of customary indemnification to directors and officers of the Issuer;
- (3)
- Restricted Payments that are permitted by the provisions of the Indenture described above under the caption "—Restricted Payments";
- (4)
- payments to GTCR pursuant to the Professional Services Agreement, as in effect on the date of the Indenture, or any amendment, modification or replacement to such agreement (so long as the amendment, modification or replacement is not disadvantageous to the Holders of the Notes in any respect);
- (5)
- transactions pursuant to the Senior Management Agreements or Equity Purchase Agreement, in each case, as in effect on the date of the Indenture;
- (6)
- loans and advances to officers, directors or employees of the Issuer or its Restricted Subsidiaries made in the ordinary course of business in an amount that, when taken together with all other loans and advances made pursuant to this clause (6) and then outstanding, does not exceed $2.5 million;
- (7)
- any issuance of securities, or other payments, awards or grants in cash, securities or otherwise pursuant to, or the funding of, employment arrangements, stock options and stock ownership plans approved by the Issuer's Board of Directors;
127
- (8)
- any employment agreement or other employee compensation arrangements entered into by the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in the ordinary course of business;
- (9)

- (10)
- transactions with a Person that is an Affiliate of the Issuer solely because the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries owns Capital Stock in such Person;
- (11)
- any sale or issuance of Capital Stock (other than Disqualified Stock) of the Issuer to Affiliates of the Issuer or its Restricted Subsidiaries; and
- (12)
- transactions effected pursuant to any agreement described in the section of this prospectus entitled "Certain Relationships and Related Transactions" as the same are in effect on the date of the Indenture or any amendment, modification or replacement to such agreement (so long as the amendment, modification or replacement is not disadvantageous to the Holders of the Notes in any respect).
If the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries acquires or creates another Domestic Subsidiary on or after the date of the Indenture, then that newly acquired or created Domestic Subsidiary must become a Guarantor and execute a supplemental indenture within 30 Business Days of the date on which it was acquired or created. If any of the Issuer's existing or future Foreign Subsidiaries Guarantee any other Indebtedness of the Issuer or any Domestic Subsidiary, then that Foreign Subsidiary must become a Guarantor and execute a supplemental indenture within 30 Business Days of the date on which it enters into such Guarantee. If DigitalNet Holdings acquires or creates any Subsidiary and such Subsidiary acquires any Equity Interests of the Issuer, then DigitalNet Holdings must cause such Subsidiary to become a Guarantor (on terms identical to the Guarantee of DigitalNet Holdings) and execute a supplemental indenture within 30 Business Days of the date on which it acquired such Equity Interests of the Issuer.
The Board of Directors of the Issuer may designate any Restricted Subsidiary to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary if that designation would not cause a Default. If a Restricted Subsidiary is designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, the aggregate fair market value of all outstanding Investments owned by the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries in the Subsidiary so designated will be deemed to be a Restricted Investment made as of the time of such designation and that designation will only be permitted if such Investment would be permitted at that time and if such Restricted Subsidiary otherwise meets the definition of an Unrestricted Subsidiary. The Board of Directors of the Issuer may at any time designate any Unrestricted Subsidiary to be a Restricted Subsidiary;provided that such designation shall be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness by a Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer of any outstanding Indebtedness of such Unrestricted Subsidiary and such designation shall only be permitted if (1) such Indebtedness is permitted under the covenant described under the caption "—Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Preferred Stock," calculated on a pro forma basis as if such designation had occurred at the beginning of the four-quarter reference period; and (2) no Default or Event of Default would be in existence following such designation.
The Issuer will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, enter into any Sale and Leaseback Transaction;provided that the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary may enter into a Sale and Leaseback Transaction if:
- (1)
- the Issuer or that Restricted Subsidiary, as applicable, could have incurred Indebtedness in an amount equal to the Attributable Debt relating to such Sale and Leaseback Transaction under the
128
DigitalNet Holdings and the Issuer will not, and the Issuer will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, pay or cause to be paid any consideration to or for the benefit of any Holder of Notes for or as an inducement to any consent, waiver or amendment of any of the terms or provisions of the Indenture or the Notes unless such consideration is offered to be paid and is paid to all Holders of the Notes that consent, waive or agree to amend in the time frame set forth in the solicitation documents relating to such consent, waiver or agreement.
Whether or not required by the Commission, so long as any Notes are outstanding, DigitalNet Holdings or the Issuer will furnish to the Holders of Notes, within the time periods specified in the Commission's rules and regulations:
- (1)
- all quarterly and annual financial information that would be required to be contained in a filing with the Commission on Forms 10-Q and 10-K if DigitalNet Holdings were required to file such Forms, including a "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and, with respect to the annual information only, a report on the annual financial statements by DigitalNet Holdings' certified independent accountants; and
- (2)
- all current reports that would be required to be filed with the Commission on Form 8-K if DigitalNet Holdings were required to file such reports.
In addition, after consummation of the Exchange Offer, whether or not required by the Commission, DigitalNet Holdings or the Issuer will file a copy of all of the information and reports referred to in clauses (1) and (2) above with the Commission for public availability within the time periods specified in the Commission's rules and regulations (unless the Commission will not accept such a filing) and make such information available to securities analysts and prospective investors upon request. In addition, DigitalNet Holdings, the Issuer and the Subsidiary Guarantors have agreed that, for so long as any Notes remain outstanding, they will furnish to the Holders and to securities analysts and prospective investors, upon their request, the information required to be delivered pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act.
Events of Default and Remedies
Each of the following is an Event of Default:
- (1)
- default for 30 days in the payment when due of interest on, or Liquidated Damages with respect to, the Notes;
- (2)
- default in payment when due of the principal of, or premium, if any, on the Notes;
- (3)
- failure by the Issuer or any of the Issuer's Restricted Subsidiaries to comply with the provisions described under the captions "—Repurchase at the Option of Holders—Change of Control,"
129
"—Repurchase at the Option of Holders—Asset Sales" or "—Certain Covenants—Merger, Consolidation or Sale of Assets";
- (4)
- failure by DigitalNet Holdings, any Subsidiary of DigitalNet Holdings that owns Equity Interests of the Issuer, the Issuer or any of the Issuer's Restricted Subsidiaries for 30 days after notice to comply with any of the other agreements in the Indenture;
- (5)
- default under any mortgage, indenture or instrument under which there may be issued or by which there may be secured or evidenced any Indebtedness for money borrowed by the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (or the payment of which is guaranteed by DigitalNet Holdings, any Subsidiary of DigitalNet Holdings that owns Equity Interests of the Issuer, the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries) whether such Indebtedness or guarantee now exists, or is created after the date of the Indenture, if that default:
- (a)
- is caused by a failure to pay at maturity (after giving effect to the expiration of any applicable grace period, a "Payment Default"); or
- (b)
- results in the acceleration of such Indebtedness prior to its express maturity,
and, in each case, the principal amount of any such Indebtedness, together with the principal amount of any other such Indebtedness under which there has been a Payment Default or the maturity of which has been so accelerated, aggregates $10.0 million or more;
- (6)
- failure by DigitalNet Holdings, any Subsidiary of DigitalNet Holdings that owns Equity Interests of the Issuer, the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to pay final judgments (other than judgments which are covered by enforceable insurance policies issued by solvent carriers) aggregating in excess of $10.0 million, which judgments are not paid, discharged or stayed for a period of 60 days;
- (7)
- except as permitted by the Indenture, any Note Guarantee shall be held in any judicial proceeding to be unenforceable or invalid or shall cease for any reason to be in full force and effect or any Guarantor, or any Person acting on behalf of any Guarantor, shall deny or disaffirm its obligations under its Note Guarantee; and
- (8)
- certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency with respect to DigitalNet Holdings, any Subsidiary of DigitalNet Holdings that owns Equity Interests of the Issuer, the Issuer, any Subsidiary Guarantor or any of the Issuer's Significant Subsidiaries.
In the case of an Event of Default arising from certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency, with respect to DigitalNet Holdings, any Subsidiary of DigitalNet Holdings that owns Equity Interests of the Issuer, the Issuer, any Subsidiary Guarantor or any Significant Subsidiary, all outstanding Notes will become due and payable immediately without further action or notice. If any other Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may declare all the Notes to be due and payable immediately.
Holders of the Notes may not enforce the Indenture or the Notes except as provided in the Indenture. Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power. The Trustee may withhold from Holders of the Notes notice of any continuing Default or Event of Default (except a Default or Event of Default relating to the payment of principal or interest or Liquidated Damages) if it determines that withholding notice is in their interest.
The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding by notice to the Trustee may on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes waive any existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences under the Indenture except a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of interest or Liquidated Damages on, or the principal of, the Notes.
130
In the case of any Event of Default occurring by reason of any willful action or inaction taken or not taken by or on behalf of the Issuer with the intention of avoiding payment of the premium that the Issuer would have had to pay if the Issuer then had elected to redeem the Notes pursuant to the optional redemption provisions of the Indenture, an equivalent premium shall also become and be immediately due and payable to the extent permitted by law upon the acceleration of the Notes. If an Event of Default occurs during any time that the Notes are outstanding, by reason of any willful action (or inaction) taken (or not taken) by or on behalf of the Issuer with the intention of avoiding the prohibition on redemption of the Notes, then the premium specified in the Indenture shall also become immediately due and payable to the extent permitted by law upon the acceleration of the Notes.
The Issuer is required to deliver to the Trustee annually a statement regarding compliance with the Indenture. Upon becoming aware of any Default or Event of Default, the Issuer is required to deliver to the Trustee a statement specifying such Default or Event of Default.
No Personal Liability of Directors, Officers, Employees and Stockholders
No director, officer, employee, incorporator or stockholder of the Issuer or any Guarantor, as such, shall have any liability for any obligations of the Issuer or the Guarantors under the Notes, the Indenture, the Note Guarantees or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each Holder of Notes by accepting a Note waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the Notes. The waiver may not be effective to waive liabilities under the federal securities laws.
Legal Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance
The Issuer may, at its option and at any time, elect to have some or all of its obligations discharged with respect to the outstanding Notes and all obligations of the Guarantors discharged with respect to their Note Guarantees ("Legal Defeasance") except for:
- (1)
- the rights of Holders of outstanding Notes to receive payments in respect of the principal of, or interest or premium and Liquidated Damages, if any, on such Notes when such payments are due from the trust referred to below;
- (2)
- the Issuer's obligations with respect to the Notes concerning issuing temporary Notes, registration of Notes, mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes and the maintenance of an office or agency for payment and money for security payments held in trust;
- (3)
- the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee, and the Issuer's and the Guarantor's obligations in connection therewith; and
- (4)
- the Legal Defeasance provisions of the Indenture.
In addition, the Issuer may, at its option and at any time, elect to have the obligations of the Issuer, the Guarantors and any Restricted Subsidiaries that are not Subsidiary Guarantors released with respect to certain covenants that are described in the Indenture ("Covenant Defeasance") and thereafter any omission to comply with those covenants shall not constitute a Default or Event of Default with respect to the Notes. In the event Covenant Defeasance occurs, certain events (not including non-payment, bankruptcy, receivership, rehabilitation and insolvency events) described under "Events of Default" will no longer constitute an Event of Default with respect to the Notes.
In order to exercise either Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance:
- (1)
- the Issuer must irrevocably deposit with the Trustee, in trust, for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes, cash in U.S. dollars, non-callable Government Securities, or a combination thereof, in such amounts as will be sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants to pay the principal of, and interest and premium and Liquidated Damages, if any, on
131
the outstanding Notes on the Stated Maturity or on the applicable redemption date, as the case may be, and the Issuer must specify whether the Notes are being defeased to maturity or to a particular redemption date;
- (2)
- in the case of Legal Defeasance, the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming that (a) the Issuer has received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling or (b) since the date of the Indenture, there has been a change in the applicable federal income tax law, in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such Opinion of Counsel shall confirm that, the Holders of the outstanding Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such Legal Defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Legal Defeasance had not occurred;
- (3)
- in the case of Covenant Defeasance, the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming that the Holders of the outstanding Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such Covenant Defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Covenant Defeasance had not occurred;
- (4)
- no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing either: (a) on the date of such deposit; or (b) or insofar as Events of Default from bankruptcy or insolvency events are concerned, at any time in the period ending on the 91st day after the date of deposit;
- (5)
- such Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under any material agreement or instrument to which DigitalNet Holdings, the Issuer or any of the Issuer's Subsidiaries is a party or by which DigitalNet Holdings, the Issuer or any of the Issuer's Subsidiaries is bound;
- (6)
- the Issuer must have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that, assuming no intervening bankruptcy of the Issuer or any Guarantor between the date of deposit and the 91st day following the deposit and assuming that the Trustee and each Holder is not an "insider" of the Issuer under applicable bankruptcy law, after the 91st day following the deposit, the trust funds will not be subject to the avoidance as a preference in bankruptcy or insolvency of the Issuer, DigitalNet Holdings, any Subsidiary of DigitalNet Holdings that owns Equity Interests of the Issuer or any Subsidiary of the Issuer;
- (7)
- the Issuer must deliver to the Trustee an Officers' Certificate stating that the deposit was not made by the Issuer with the intent of preferring the Holders of Notes over the other creditors of the Issuer with the intent of defeating, hindering, delaying or defrauding creditors of the Issuer or others;
- (8)
- if the Notes are to be redeemed prior to their Stated Maturity, the Issuer must deliver to the Trustee irrevocable instructions to redeem all of the new notes on the specified redemption date; and
- (9)
- the Issuer must deliver to the Trustee an Officers' Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent relating to the Legal Defeasance or the Covenant Defeasance in the Indenture have been complied with.
The Credit Agreement will contain provisions that prohibit or otherwise limit the ability of the Issuer to exercise Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.
Amendment, Supplement and Waiver
Except as provided in the next two succeeding paragraphs, the Indenture or the Notes may be amended or supplemented with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer
132
or exchange offer for, Notes), and any existing default or compliance with any provision of the Indenture or the Notes may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, Notes).

- (5)
- make any Note payable in money other than U.S. dollars;
- (6)
- make any change in the provisions of the Indenture relating to waivers of past Defaults or the rights of Holders of Notes to receive payments of principal of, or interest or premium or Liquidated Damages, if any, on the Notes;
- (7)
- release any Guarantor from any of its obligations under its Note Guarantee or the Indenture, except in accordance with the terms of the Indenture;
- (8)
- impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment on or with respect to the Notes or the Note Guarantees;
- (9)
- after an Asset Sale or a Change of Control has occurred, amend, change or modify the obligation of the Issuer to make and consummate an Asset Sale Offer with respect to any Asset Sale in accordance with the "Repurchase at the Option of Holders—Asset Sales" covenant or the obligation of the Issuer to make and consummate a Change of Control Offer in the event of a Change of Control in accordance with the "Repurchase at the Option of Holders—Change of Control" covenant, including, in each case, amending, changing or modifying any definition relating thereto;
- (10)
- except as otherwise permitted under the "Merger, Consolidation and Sale of Assets" covenant, consent to the assignment or transfer by the Issuer or any Guarantor of any of their rights or obligations under the Indenture; or
- (11)
- make any change in the preceding amendment and waiver provisions.
Notwithstanding the preceding, without the consent of any Holder of Notes, the Issuer, the Guarantors and the Trustee may amend or supplement the Indenture or the Notes:

- (2)
- to add additional Guarantees with respect to the Notes;
- (3)

Concerning the Trustee
If the Trustee becomes a creditor of the Issuer or any Guarantor, the Indenture limits its right to obtain payment of claims in certain cases, or to realize on certain property received in respect of any such claim as security or otherwise. The Trustee will be permitted to engage in other transactions; however, if it acquires any conflicting interest it must eliminate such conflict within 90 days, apply to the Commission for permission to continue or resign.
The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes will have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for exercising any remedy available to the Trustee,
134
subject to certain exceptions. The Indenture provides that in case an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the Trustee will be required, in the exercise of its power, to use the degree of care of a prudent man in the conduct of his own affairs. Subject to such provisions, the Trustee will be under no obligation to exercise any of its rights or powers under the Indenture at the request of any Holder of Notes, unless such Holder shall have offered to the Trustee security and indemnity satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or expense.

Anyone who receives this prospectus may obtain a copy of the Indenture and Registration Rights Agreement without charge by writing to DigitalNet Holdings, Inc., 2525 Herndon Place, Herndon, VA 20171, Attention: Corporate Secretary.
Form and Denomination
The new notes will initially be represented by one or more Global Notes in fully registered form without interest coupons (collectively, the "Global Note"). The new notes will be issued in denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples thereof. The Global Note will be deposited with the trustee as custodian for DTC and registered in the name of DTC or a nominee of DTC.
Owners of beneficial interests in any Global Note will hold such interests pursuant to the procedures and practices of DTC and must exercise any rights in respect of their interests in accordance with those procedures and practices. Such Beneficial Owners will not be Holders, and will not be entitled to any rights under any new note or the Indenture, with respect to any Global Note, and we and the Trustee, and any respective agents, may treat DTC as the Holder and owner of any Global Note.
Except as set forth below, the Global Notes may be transferred, in whole but not in part, only to another nominee of DTC or to a successor of DTC or its nominee. Beneficial interests in the registered Global Notes may not be exchanged for notes in certificated form except in the limited circumstances described below.
For a description of the depositary procedures with respect to the Global Notes, see "Depositary Procedures with Respect to Global Notes."
Transfer and Exchange
At the option of the Holder upon written request, and subject to the terms of the indenture, any new note will be exchangeable at any time into an equal aggregate principal amount of new notes of different authorized denominations provided that any applicable transfer restrictions are satisfied.
New notes may be presented for registration of transfer (with the form of transfer endorsed thereon duly executed) or exchange, at the office of any transfer agent, or the "security registrar," without service charge, but, in the case of a transfer, upon payment of any taxes and other governmental charges as described in the indenture. Any registration of transfer or exchange will be effected upon the transfer agent or the security registrar, as the case may be, being satisfied with the documents of title and identity of the person making the request, and subject to such reasonable regulations as we may from time to time agree upon with the transfer agents and the security registrar, all as described in the indenture. Subject to the applicable transfer restrictions, new notes may be transferred in whole or in part in authorized denominations.
Exchange of Global Notes for Certificated Notes
A Global Note is exchangeable for Certificated Notes if:
- (1)
- DTC notifies the Issuer that it is unwilling or unable to continue to act as depositary or that it is no longer a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act and, in either case, a successor depository is not appointed by the Issuer within 120 days after the date of such notice from DTC;
135
- (2)
- the Issuer, at its option, notifies the Trustee in writing that it elects to cause the issuance of the Certificated Notes; or
- (3)
- there shall have occurred and be continuing a Default or Event of Default with respect to the Notes.
In addition, beneficial interests in a Global Note may be exchanged for Certificated Notes upon prior written notice given to the Trustee by or on behalf of DTC in accordance with the Indenture. In all cases, Certificated Notes delivered in exchange for any Global Note or beneficial interests in Global Notes will be registered in the names, and issued in any approved denominations, requested by or on behalf of the depositary (in accordance with its customary procedures).
Exchange of Certificated Notes for Global Notes
Certificated Notes may not be exchanged for beneficial interests in any Global Note unless the transferor first delivers to the Trustee a written certificate (in the form provided in the Indenture) to the effect that such transfer will comply with the appropriate transfer restrictions applicable to such Notes.
Depositary Procedures with Respect to Global Notes
With respect to the Global Notes, DTC has advised us as follows: DTC is a limited purpose trust company organized under the laws of the State of New York, a member of the Federal Reserve System, a "clearing corporation" within the meaning of the Uniform Commercial Code, as amended, and a "clearing agency" registered pursuant to the provisions of Section 17A of the Securities Exchange Act. DTC was created to hold securities for its participating organizations, collectively, the "Participants," and to facilitate the clearance and settlement of transactions in those securities between Participants through electronic book-entry changes in accounts of its Participants. The Participants include securities brokers and dealers (including the initial purchasers), banks, trust companies, clearing corporations and certain other organizations. Access to DTC's system is also available to other entities such as banks, brokers, dealers and trust companies that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a Participant, either directly or indirectly, collectively, the "Indirect Participants." Persons who are not Participants may beneficially own securities held by or on behalf of DTC only through the Participants or the Indirect Participants. The ownership interest and transfer of ownership interest of each actual purchaser of each security held by or on behalf of DTC are recorded on the records of the Participants and Indirect Participants.
DTC has also advised us that pursuant to procedures established by it, (i) upon deposit of the Global Notes, DTC will credit the accounts of Participants designated by the initial purchasers with portions of the principal amount of the Global Notes and (ii) ownership of such interests in the Global Notes will be shown on, and the transfer of ownership thereof will be effected only through, records maintained by DTC (with respect to the Participants) or by the Participants and the Indirect Participants with respect to other owners of beneficial interests in the Global Notes).
Investors in the Global Note within the United States may hold their interests therein directly through DTC, if they are Participants in such system, or indirectly through organizations including the Euroclear System ("Euroclear") and Clearstream Banking, S.A. ("Clearstream"), that are Participants in such system. Investors in the Global Notes, outside the United States, may hold interests therein through Euroclear or Clearstream or organizations other than Euroclear and Clearstream that are Participants in the DTC system. Euroclear and Clearstream will hold interests in any Global Note on behalf of their Participants through customers' securities accounts in their respective names on the books of their respective depositaries. The depositaries, in turn, will hold such interests in such Global Note in customers' securities accounts in the depositaries' names on the books of DTC. All interests in a Global Note, including those held through Euroclear or Clearstream may be subject to the procedures and requirements of DTC. Those interests held through Euroclear or Clearstream may also be subject to the procedures and requirements of such system.
136
The laws of some states require that certain persons take physical delivery in definitive form of securities that they own. Consequently, the ability to transfer beneficial interests in a Global Note to such persons may be limited to that extent. Because DTC can act only on behalf of its Participants, which in turn act on behalf of Indirect Participants and certain banks, the ability of a person having beneficial interests in a Global Note to pledge such interests to persons or entities that do not participate in the DTC system, or otherwise take actions in respect of such interests, may be affected by the lack of a physical certificate evidencing such interests.
Except as described above under "—Transfer and Exchange," owners of interests in the Global Notes will not have notes registered in their names, will not receive physical delivery of Notes in certificated form and will not be considered the registered owners or Holders thereof under the Indenture for any purpose.
DTC has advised us that its current practice, upon receipt of any payment in respect of interests in securities such as the Global Notes (including principal and interest) held by it or its nominee, is to credit the accounts of the relevant Participants with the payment on the payment date, in amounts proportionate to their respective holdings in principal amount of beneficial interests in the relevant security such as the Global Notes as shown on the records of DTC unless DTC has reason to believe it will not receive payment on such payment date. Payments by the Participants and the Indirect Participants to the Beneficial Owners of notes will be governed by standing instructions and customary practices, as is the case with securities held for the accounts of customers registered in "street name." Such payments will be the responsibility of the Participants or the Indirect Participants and will not be the responsibility of DTC, the Trustee or us. Neither we nor the Trustee will be liable for any delay by DTC or any of its Participants in identifying the Beneficial Owners of the new notes, and we and the Trustee may conclusively rely on and will be protected in relying on instructions from DTC or its nominee as the owner of the Global Notes for all purposes.
Transfers of beneficial interests in the Global Note between Participants in DTC will be effected in accordance with DTC's procedures, and such beneficial interests will trade in DTC's Settlement System; and consequently, secondary market trading activity in such interests will settle in immediately available funds. Transfers of beneficial interest in the Global Notes between Participants in Euroclear and Clearstream will be effected in the ordinary way in accordance with their respective rules and operating procedures, whereas cross-market transfers of such interests (including by DTC Participants other than Euroclear and Clearstream) will be subject to considerations described below.
Subject to compliance with the transfer restrictions applicable to the Notes described herein, cross-market transfers with respect to the Global Notes between the Participants in DTC, on the one hand, and Euroclear or Clearstream Participants, on the other hand, will be effected through DTC in accordance with DTC's rules on behalf of Euroclear or Clearstream as the case may be, by its respective depositary; however, such cross-market transactions will require delivery of instructions to Euroclear or Clearstream as the case may be, by the counterparts in such system. Euroclear or Clearstream as the case may be, will, if the transaction meets its settlement requirements, deliver instructions to its respective depositary to take action to effect final settlement on its behalf by delivering or receiving interests in the relevant Global Note in DTC, and making or receiving payment in accordance with normal procedures for same-day funds settlement applicable to DTC. Euroclear Participants and Clearstream Participants may not deliver instructions directly to the depositaries for Euroclear or Clearstream.
Because of time zone differences, the securities account of a Euroclear or Clearstream Participant purchasing an interest in a Global Note from a Participant in DTC will be credited, and any such crediting will be reported to the relevant Euroclear or Clearstream Participant, during the securities settlement processing day (which must be a business day for Euroclear and Clearstream) immediately following the settlement date of DTC. Cash received in Euroclear or Clearstream as a result of sales of interests in a Global Note by or through a Euroclear or Clearstream Participant to a Participant in DTC will be received with value on the settlement date of DTC but will be available in the relevant Euroclear or Clearstream cash account only as of the business day for Euroclear or Clearstream following DTC's settlement date.
137
DTC has advised us that it will take any action permitted to be taken by a Holder of new notes only at the direction of one or more Participants to whose account with DTC interests in the Global Notes are credited and only in respect of such portion of the aggregate principal amount of the new notes as to which such Participant or Participants has or have given such direction. However, if there is an Event of Default under the new notes, DTC reserves the right to exchange the Global Notes for new notes in certificated form, and to distribute such notes to its Participants.
Although DTC has agreed to the foregoing procedures in order to facilitate transfers of beneficial ownership interests in the Global Notes among Participants of DTC, it is under no obligation to perform or continue to perform such procedures, and such procedures may be discontinued at any time. Neither we, the Trustee nor any of our respective agents will have any responsibility for the performance by DTC, its Participants or Indirect Participants of their respective obligations under the rules and procedures governing their operations, including maintaining, supervising or reviewing the records relating to, or payments made on account of, beneficial ownership interests in Global Notes.

UNITED STATES FEDERAL TAX CONSIDERATIONS
The following summary describes the material United States federal income tax consequences and, in the case of a holder that is a non-U.S. holder (as defined below), the United States federal estate tax consequences, of purchasing, owning and disposing of the new notes and exchanging the old notes for the new notes.
This summary deals only with old notes and new notes held as capital assets (generally, investment property) and does not deal with special tax situations such as:
- •
- dealers in securities or currencies;
- •
- traders in securities;
- •
- United States holders (as defined below) whose functional currency is not the United States dollar;
- •
- persons holding old notes or new notes as part of a hedge, straddle, conversion or other integrated transaction;
- •
- certain United States expatriates;
- •
- financial institutions;
- •
- insurance companies; and
- •
- entities that are tax-exempt for United States federal income tax purposes.
This summary does not discuss all of the aspects of United States federal income and estate taxation that may be relevant to you in light of your particular investment or other circumstances. In addition, this summary does not discuss any United States state or local income or foreign income or other tax consequences. This summary is based on United States federal income and estate tax law, including the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Internal Revenue Code"), Treasury regulations, administrative rulings and judicial authority, all as in effect as of the date of this prospectus. Subsequent developments in United States federal income and estate tax law, including changes in law or differing interpretations, which may be applied retroactively, could have a material effect on the United States federal income and estate tax consequences of purchasing, owning and disposing of new notes and exchanging old notes for new notes as set forth in this summary. Before you purchase notes or exchange old notes for new notes, you should consult your own tax advisor regarding the particular United States federal, state and local and foreign income and other tax consequences of acquiring, owning and disposing of the new notes and exchanging the old notes for the new notes that may be applicable to you.
United States Holders
The following summary applies to you only if you are a United States holder (as defined below).
Definition of a United States Holder
A "United States holder" is a beneficial owner of old notes or new notes who or which is for United States federal income tax purposes:
- •
- an individual citizen or resident of the United States;
- •
- a corporation or partnership (or other entity classified as a corporation or partnership for these purposes) created or organized in or under the laws of the United States or of any political subdivision of the United States, including any State;
- •
- an estate, the income of which is subject to United States federal income taxation regardless of the source of that income; or
153
- •
- a trust, if, (1) a United States court is able to exercise primary supervision over the trust's administration and one or more United States persons (within the meaning of the Internal Revenue Code) has the authority to control all of the trust's substantial decisions or (2) the trust has a valid election in effect under applicable Treasury regulations to be treated as a United States person.
If a partnership (or other entity classified as a partnership for United States federal income tax purposes) is a beneficial owner of an old note or a new note, the United States federal income tax treatment of a partner in the partnership will generally depend upon the status of the partner and upon the activities of the partnership. A holder that is a partnership, and partners in such a partnership, should consult their tax advisors about the United States federal income tax consequences of purchasing, owning and disposing of the new notes and exchanging the old notes for the new notes.
Exchange of Notes
The exchange of the old notes for the new notes in the exchange offer will not be a taxable exchange for United States federal income tax purposes and, accordingly, for such purposes a United States holder will not recognize any taxable gain or loss as a result of such exchange and will have the same tax basis and holding period in the new notes as it had in the old notes immediately before the exchange.
Payments of Interest
Interest on your new notes will be taxed as ordinary interest income. In addition:
- •
- if you use the cash method of accounting for United States federal income tax purposes, you will have to include the interest on your new notes in your gross income at the time you receive the interest; and
- •
- if you use the accrual method of accounting for United States federal income tax purposes, you will have to include the interest on your new notes in your gross income at the time the interest accrues.
Market Discount and Bond Premium
If a United States holder purchases a new note (or purchased the old note for which the new note was exchanged, as the case may be) at a price that is less than its principal amount, the excess of the principal amount over the United States holder's basis in the note immediately after the note is acquired will be treated as "market discount." However, the market discount will be considered to be zero if it is less than1/4 of 1% of the principal amount multiplied by the number of complete years to maturity from the date the United States holder purchased the new note or the old note, as the case may be.
Under the market discount rules of the Internal Revenue Code, a United States holder generally will be required to treat any principal payment on, or any gain realized on the sale, exchange, retirement or other disposition of, a new note as ordinary income (generally treated as interest income) to the extent of the market discount which accrued but was not previously included in income. In addition, the United States holder may be required to defer, until the maturity of the new note or its earlier disposition in a taxable transaction, the deduction of all or a portion of the interest expense on any indebtedness incurred or continued to purchase or carry the new note (or the old note for which the new note was exchanged, as the case may be). In general, market discount will be considered to accrue ratably during the period from the date of the purchase of the new note (or the old note for which the new note was exchanged, as the case may be) to the maturity date of the new note, unless the United States holder makes an irrevocable election (on an instrument-by-instrument basis) to accrue market discount under a constant yield method. A United States holder of a new note may elect to include market discount in income currently as it accrues (under either a ratable or constant yield method), in which case the rules described above regarding the treatment as ordinary income of gain upon the disposition of the new note and upon the receipt of certain payments and the deferral of interest deductions will not apply. The election to include market discount in income currently,
154
once made, applies to all market discount obligations acquired on or after the first day of the first taxable year to which the election applies, and may not be revoked without the consent of the Internal Revenue Service.
If a United States holder purchases a new note (or purchased the old note for which the new note was exchanged, as the case may be) for an amount in excess of the amount payable at maturity of the new note, the United States holder will be considered to have purchased the new note (or the old note) with "bond premium" equal to the excess of the United States holder's basis in the note over the amount payable at maturity (or on an earlier call date if it results in a smaller amortizable bond premium). A United States holder of a new note may elect to amortize the premium using a constant yield method over the remaining term of the new note (or until an earlier call date, as applicable). The amortized amount of the premium for a taxable year generally will be treated first as a reduction of interest on the new note included in such taxable year to the extent thereof, then as a deduction allowed in such taxable year to the extent of the United States holder's prior interest inclusions on the new note, and finally as a carryforward allowable against the United States holder's future interest inclusions on the new note. The election, once made, is irrevocable without the consent of the Internal Revenue Service and applies to all taxable bonds held during or after the taxable year for which the election is made.
Sale or Other Disposition of Notes
Your tax basis in your new notes generally will be their cost (in the case of a new note acquired in exchange for an old note, the tax basis of such old note, as discussed above under "Exchange of Notes"), increased by the amount of any market discount previously included in the United States holder's gross income, and reduced by the amount of any amortizable bond premium applied to reduce, or allowed as a deduction against, interest on the new note. You generally will recognize taxable gain or loss when you sell or otherwise dispose of your new notes equal to the difference, if any, between:
- •
- the amount realized on the sale or other disposition (less any amount attributable to accrued but unpaid interest, which will be taxable in the manner described under "United States Federal Tax Considerations—United States Holders-Payments of Interest"); and
- •
- your tax basis in the new notes.
Your gain or loss generally will be capital gain or loss except with respect to amounts received upon a disposition attributable to accrued market discount not previously included in income, which will be taxable as ordinary income. Any capital gain or loss will be long-term capital gain or loss if at the time of the sale or other disposition you have held the new notes for more than one year (taking into account, for this purpose, in the case of new notes received in exchange for old notes in the exchange offer, the period of time that the old notes were held). Subject to limited exceptions, your capital losses cannot be used to offset your ordinary income. If you are a non-corporate United States holder, your long-term capital gain generally will be subject to a maximum tax rate of 15% for dispositions on or after May 6, 2003 and 20% for dispositions occurring in a taxable year that begins on or after January 1, 2009.
Backup Withholding
In general, "backup withholding" at a rate of up to 28% may apply:
- •
- to any payments made to you of principal of and interest on your note; and
- •
- to payment of the proceeds of a sale or other disposition of your note before maturity,
if you are a non-corporate United States holder and fail to provide a correct taxpayer identification number or otherwise comply with applicable requirements of the backup withholding rules.
Backup withholding is not an additional tax and may be credited against your United States federal income tax liability, provided that correct information is provided to the Internal Revenue Service.
155
Non-U.S. Holders
The following summary applies to you if you are a beneficial owner of an old note or a new note who or which is not a United States holder (as defined above) (a "non-U.S. holder"). An individual may, subject to exceptions, be deemed to be a resident alien, as opposed to a non-resident alien, by among other ways being present in the United States:
- •
- on at least 31 days in the calendar year; and
- •
- for an aggregate of at least 183 days during a three-year period ending in the current calendar year, counting for such purposes all of the days present in the current year, one-third of the days present in the immediately preceding year, and one-sixth of the days present in the second preceding year.
Resident aliens are subject to United States federal income tax as if they were United States citizens.
United States Federal Withholding Tax
Under current United States federal income tax laws, and subject to the discussion below, United States federal withholding tax will not apply to payments by us or our paying agent (in its capacity as such) of principal and interest on your notes under the "portfolio interest" exception of the Internal Revenue Code, provided that in the case of interest:
- •
- you do not, directly or indirectly, actually or constructively, own ten percent or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of our stock entitled to vote within the meaning of section 871(h)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and the Treasury regulations thereunder;
- •
- you are not (i) a controlled foreign corporation for United States federal income tax purposes that is related, directly or indirectly, to us through sufficient stock ownership (as provided in the Internal Revenue Code); or (ii) a bank receiving interest described in section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code;
- •
- such interest is not effectively connected with your conduct of a United States trade or business; and
- •
- you provide a signed written statement, on an Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN (or other applicable form) which can reliably be related to you, certifying under penalties of perjury that you are not a United States person within the meaning of the Internal Revenue Code and providing your name and address to:
- (A)
- us or our paying agent; or
- (B)
- a securities clearing organization, bank or other financial institution that holds customers' securities in the ordinary course of its trade or business and holds your notes on your behalf and that certifies to us or our paying agent under penalties of perjury that it, or the bank or financial institution between it and you, has received from you your signed, written statement and provides us or our paying agent with a copy of this statement.
The applicable Treasury regulations provide alternative methods for satisfying the certification requirement described in this section. In addition, under these Treasury regulations:
- •
- if you are a foreign partnership, the certification requirement will generally apply to partners in you, and you will be required to provide certain information;
- •
- if you are a foreign trust, the certification requirement will generally be applied to you or your beneficial owners depending on whether you are a "foreign complex trust," "foreign simple trust," or "foreign grantor trust" as defined in the Treasury regulations; and
- •
- look-through rules will apply for tiered partnerships, foreign simple trusts and foreign grantor trusts.
156
If you are a foreign partnership or a foreign trust, you should consult your own tax advisor regarding your status under these Treasury regulations and the certification requirements applicable to you.
If you cannot satisfy the requirements of the "portfolio interest" exception described above, payments of interest made to you will be subject to 30% United States federal withholding tax unless you provide us or our paying agent with a properly executed (1) Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI (or other applicable form) stating that interest paid on your notes is not subject to withholding tax because it is effectively connected with your conduct of a trade or business in the United States, or (2) Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN (or other applicable form) claiming an exemption from or reduction in this withholding tax under an applicable income tax treaty.
United States Federal Income Tax
Except for the possible application of United States withholding tax (see "United States Federal Tax Considerations—Non-U.S. Holders-United States Federal Withholding Tax" above) and backup withholding (see "United States Federal Tax Considerations—Backup Withholding and Information Reporting" below), you generally will not have to pay United States federal income tax on payments of principal of and interest on your new notes, or on any gain or income realized from the sale, redemption, retirement at maturity or other disposition of your new notes (provided that, in the case of proceeds representing accrued interest, the conditions described in "United States Federal Tax Considerations—Non-U.S. Holders—United States Federal Withholding Tax" are met) unless:
- •
- in the case of interest payments or disposition proceeds representing accrued interest, you cannot satisfy the requirements of the "portfolio interest" exception described above;
- •
- in the case of gain, you are an individual who is present in the United States for 183 days or more during the taxable year of the sale or other disposition of your new notes, and specific other conditions are met; or
- •
- the interest or gain is effectively connected with your conduct of a United States trade or business, and, if an income tax treaty applies, is generally attributable to a United States "permanent establishment" maintained by you.
If you are engaged in a trade or business in the United States and interest, gain or any other income in respect of your new notes is effectively connected with the conduct of your trade or business, and, if an income tax treaty applies, you maintain a United States "permanent establishment" to which the interest, gain or other income is generally attributable, you generally will be subject to United States income tax on a net basis on the interest, gain or income in the same manner as if you were a United States holder (although interest is exempt from the withholding tax discussed in the preceding paragraphs provided that you provide a properly executed applicable Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI (or other applicable form) on or before any payment date to claim the exemption).
In addition, if you are a foreign corporation, you may be subject to a branch profits tax equal to 30% of your effectively connected earnings and profits for the taxable year, as adjusted for certain items, unless a lower rate applies to you under a United States income tax treaty with your country of residence. For this purpose, you must include interest, gain or income on your new notes in the earnings and profits subject to the branch tax if these amounts are effectively connected with the conduct of your United States trade or business.
157
United States Federal Estate Tax
If you are an individual and are not a United States citizen or a resident of the United States (as specially defined for United States federal estate tax purposes) at the time of your death, your notes will generally not be subject to the United States federal estate tax, unless, at the time of your death:
- •
- you directly or indirectly, actually or constructively, own ten percent or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of our stock entitled to vote within the meaning of section 871(h)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and the Treasury regulations thereunder; or
- •
- your interest on the notes is effectively connected with your conduct of a United States trade or business.
Backup Withholding and Information Reporting
Under current Treasury regulations, backup withholding and information reporting will not apply to payments made by us or our paying agent (in its capacity as such) to you if you have provided the required certification that you are a non-U.S. holder as described in "United States Federal Tax Considerations—Non-U.S. Holders—United States Federal Withholding Tax" above, and provided that neither we nor our paying agent has actual knowledge that you are a United States holder (as described in "United States Federal Tax Considerations—United States Holders" above). We or our paying agent may, however, report payments of interest on the notes.
The gross proceeds from the disposition of your notes may be subject to information reporting and backup withholding at a rate of up to 28%. If you sell your notes outside the United States through a non-U.S. office of a non-U.S. broker and the sales proceeds are paid to you outside the United States, then the U.S. backup withholding and information reporting requirements generally (except as provided in the following sentence) will not apply to that payment. However, U.S. information reporting, but not backup withholding, will apply to a payment of sales proceeds, even if that payment is made outside the United States, if you sell your notes through a non-U.S. office of a broker that:
- •
- is a United States person (as defined in the Internal Revenue Code);
- •
- derives 50% or more of its gross income in specific periods from the conduct of a trade or business in the United States;
- •
- is a "controlled foreign corporation" for United States federal income tax purposes; or
- •
- is a foreign partnership, if at any time during its tax year:
- •
- one or more of its partners are U.S. persons who in the aggregate hold more than 50% of the income or capital interests in the partnership; or
- •
- the foreign partnership is engaged in a U.S. trade or business;
unless the broker has documentary evidence in its files that you are a non-U.S. person and certain other conditions are met or you otherwise establish an exemption. If you receive payments of the proceeds of a sale of your notes to or through a U.S. office of a broker, the payment is subject to both U.S. backup withholding and information reporting unless you provide a Form W-8BEN certifying that you are a non-U.S. person or you otherwise establish an exemption.
You should consult your own tax advisor regarding application of backup withholding in your particular circumstance and the availability of and procedure for obtaining an exemption from backup withholding under current Treasury regulations. Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules from a payment to you will be allowed as a refund or credit against your United States federal income tax liability, provided the required information is furnished to the Internal Revenue Service.
158
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
Any broker-dealer who holds old notes that are transfer restricted securities and that were acquired for its own account as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities (other than transfer restricted securities acquired directly from us), may exchange such old notes pursuant to the exchange offer; however, such broker-dealer may be deemed to be an "underwriter" within the meaning of the Securities Act and must, therefore, deliver a prospectus meeting the requirements of the Securities Act in connection with any resales of the new notes received by such broker-dealer in the exchange offer, which prospectus delivery requirement may be satisfied by the delivery by such broker-dealer of this prospectus.
Each broker-dealer that receives new notes for its own account in the exchange offer must acknowledge that it will deliver a prospectus together with any resale of those new notes. This prospectus, as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time, may be used by a broker-dealer in the resales of new notes received in exchange for old notes where those old notes were acquired as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities. We have agreed that for a period of up to 180 days after the expiration date, we will make this prospectus, as amended or supplemented, available to any broker-dealer that requests it in the letter of transmittal for use in any such resale.
We will not receive any proceeds from any sale of new notes by broker-dealers or any other persons. new notes received by broker-dealers for their own account pursuant to the exchange offer may be sold from time to time in one or more transactions in the over-the-counter market, in negotiated transactions, through the writing of options on the new notes or a combination of such methods of resale, at market prices prevailing at the time of resale, at prices related to such prevailing market prices or negotiated prices. Any such resale may be made directly to purchasers or to or through brokers or dealers who may receive compensation in the form of commissions or concessions from any such broker-dealer and/or the purchasers of any such new notes. Any broker-dealer that resells new notes that were received by it for its own account pursuant to the exchange offer and any broker or dealer that participates in a distribution of those new notes may be deemed to be an "underwriter" within the meaning of the Securities Act and any profit on any such resale of new notes and any commissions or concessions received by any such persons may be deemed to be underwriting compensation under the Securities Act. The letter of transmittal states that by acknowledging that it will deliver and by delivering a prospectus, a broker-dealer will not be deemed to admit that it is an "underwriter" within the meaning of the Securities Act.
We have agreed to pay all expenses incident to our performance of, or compliance with, the registration rights agreement and will indemnify the holders of old notes including any broker-dealers, and certain parties related to such holders, against certain types of liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.
159

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
To DigitalNet Holdings, Inc.:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of DigitalNet Holdings, Inc. (the Company) as of December 31, 2001 and 2002, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the period from September 7, 2001 (inception) through December 31, 2001 and the year ended December 31, 2002. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit 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 financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of DigitalNet Holdings, Inc. as of December 31, 2001 and 2002, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for the period from September 7, 2001 (inception) through December 31, 2001 and the year ended December 31, 2002, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

DIGITALNET HOLDINGS, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2001 AND 2002 AND JUNE 30, 2003 (UNAUDITED)
1. The Company
Business Description and Basis of Presentation
DigitalNet Holdings, Inc. (DigitalNet or the Company) was incorporated in September 2001 (Inception), under the laws of the state of Delaware. On November 26, 2002, the Company completed its acquisition of Getronics Government Solutions, L.L.C. (now DigitalNet Government Solutions, LLC or DGS). The accompanying statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2002 includes the operating results of DGS from November 26, 2002 through December 31, 2002 along with that of the Company for the entire year ending December 31, 2002. Prior to this acquisition, the Company was involved primarily in developing its business plan, recruiting personnel, raising capital, and identifying and evaluating operating assets for acquisition.
DigitalNet, through its ownership of DGS, is a provider of managed network services, information security solutions, and application development and integration services to U.S. defense, intelligence and civilian federal government agencies. The Company's comprehensive information technology services and solutions allow federal government clients to outsource the design, implementation, integration, management and security of their computer networks and systems. Substantially all of the company and DGS' revenues were derived from contracts with the U.S. government, directly as a prime contractor or as a subcontractor.
The Company's operations are subject to certain risks and uncertainties including, among others, the susceptibility of the Company's services to rapid technological change, dependence on contracts with federal government agencies, dependence on significant customers, dependence on revenues derived from contracts awarded through competitive bidding, existence of contracts with fixed pricing, dependence on subcontractors to fulfill contractual obligations, current and potential competitors with greater resources, dependence on key management personnel, ability to recruit and retain employees, dependence on intellectual property, lack of operating history, and uncertainty of future profitability and possible fluctuations in financial results.
Unaudited Interim Financial Statements
The accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2003, consolidated statements of operations and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2003, and the consolidated statement of stockholders' equity for the six months ended June 30, 2003, are unaudited. The unaudited financial statements include all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of such financial statements. The information disclosed in the notes to the financial statements for these periods is unaudited. The results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2003 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire fiscal year or for any future period.
Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information
The unaudited pro forma balance sheet gives effect to the offering of $125.0 million of 9% senior notes and certain related transactions as if they occurred on June 30, 2003. These transactions and related effects are more fully described in Note 16.
Reverse Stock Split
In March 2003, the Company effected a one-for-eight reverse stock split. Accordingly, all share and per share amounts have been retroactively adjusted to give effect to this event.
F-7
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Practices
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States 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.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenues under its government contracts when a contract has been executed, the contract price is fixed and determinable, delivery of services or products has occurred, and collection of the contract price is considered probable and can be reasonably estimated. Revenues are earned under time-and-materials, fixed-price and cost-plus contracts. Deferred revenues represent payments received for services not yet rendered to the customer. Contract costs are expensed as incurred.
Revenues on time-and-materials contracts are recognized based on direct labor hours expended at contract billing rates, other billable direct costs and applicable indirect costs.
Fixed-price contracts may include either a product delivery or specific service performance throughout a period. Revenues on fixed price contracts that provide for the Company to render services throughout a period are recognized as earned according to contract terms as the service is provided. The majority of revenues on the Company's fixed-price service contracts relate to managed network service contracts in which customers receive a bundle of services often including management services, the use of the Company's hardware and software, network administration services and help desk support. For these contracts in which services are bundled and sold, the delivery of an individual service by itself does not represent the culmination of the earnings process. Customers pay the Company and the Company recognizes revenue based on fixed monthly prices often determined by the number of customer users. In other instances, the Company provides an individual customer with a number of different services that are generally documented through separately negotiated task orders that detail the services to be provided and the Company's compensation for these services. Services rendered under each task order represent a discrete earnings process and are not dependent on any other service or product sold by the Company. The Company sells its XTS, TEMPEST and Zone products to customers. Once delivered, these products do not require design, integration or implementation support for the Company's customers to receive immediate product functionality. Accordingly, revenues and associated contract costs are recognized upon product delivery and customer acceptance if required by the contract.
Under cost-plus contracts, the Company is reimbursed for allowable costs and paid a fee which may be fixed or performance-based. Revenues on cost-plus contracts are recognized as costs are incurred plus an estimate of applicable fees earned. The Company considers fixed fees under cost-plus contracts to be earned in proportion to the allowable costs incurred in performance of the contract which generally corresponds to the timing of contractual billings. For cost-plus contracts that include performance based or fee incentives, the
F-8
Company recognizes the portion of the expected fee to be awarded by the customer at the time such fee can be reasonably estimated, based on factors such as the Company's prior award experience and communications with the customer regarding performance.
The Company's contracts with agencies of the government are subject to periodic funding by the respective contracting agency. Funding for a contract may be provided in full at inception of the contract or annually throughout the contract consistent with the federal government's fiscal year. In evaluating the probability of funding for purposes of recognizing revenue and assessing collection of the contract price, the Company considers its previous experiences with its customers, communications with its customers regarding funding status, and the Company's knowledge of available funding for the contract or program. If funding is not considered probable, revenue recognition is deferred until realization is probable.
Contract revenue recognition inherently involves estimation. From time to time, facts arise that require revisions to estimated total costs or expected revenues. The cumulative impact of any revisions to estimates and the full impact of anticipated losses on any type of contract are recognized in the period in which they become known.
The allowability of certain costs under government contracts is subject to audit by the government. Certain indirect costs are charged to contracts using provisional or estimated indirect rates, which are subject to later revisions based on governmental audits of those costs. Management is of the opinion that costs subsequently disallowed, if any, would not be significant.
Significant Customers
The Company had no revenues prior to its acquisition of DGS. Revenues generated from contracts with the federal government or prime contractors doing business with the federal government have accounted for substantially all of the Company's revenues. Revenues from contracts representing greater than 10% of total revenues were as follows (dollars in thousands):
| | Year Ended December 31, 2002
| | Six Months Ended June 30, 2003

National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Consolidated Space Operations Contract (CSOC) | | $ | 4,710 | | 14 | % | $ | 21,913 | | 14 | % |
DGS had a significant contract with the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) that expired on November 30, 2002 and was not renewed by the customer. This contract represented approximately 18% of DGS' revenues for the period from January 1, 2002 through November 25, 2002. The Company's NASA CSOC contract, which represented approximately 13% of DGS' revenues for the period from January 1, 2002 through November 25, 2002, expires on December 31, 2003 and the Company has been notified by its customer, the prime contractor, that the contract will not be renewed because NASA has decided not to renew the prime contractor's contract.
F-9
Credit Risk
The Company's assets that are exposed to credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable. Accounts receivable consist primarily of billed and unbilled amounts, including indirect cost rate variances, due from various agencies of the federal government or prime contractors doing business with the federal government. The Company historically has not experienced significant losses related to accounts receivable and therefore believes that credit risk related to accounts receivable is minimal. The Company maintains cash balances at financial institutions that may at times exceed federally insured limits. The Company maintains this cash at high credit quality institutions and, as a result, believes credit risk related to its cash is minimal.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash and cash equivalents.
Inventory
Inventories consist of computer equipment and peripherals and are stated at the lower of cost or market where cost is determined primarily on the average costing method. Allowances for obsolete or slow-moving inventory are based on the Company's overall obsolescence experience and its assessment of future inventory requirements.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization are computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, as follows:
Project assets | | 3-5 years or contract term, if shorter |
Machinery and equipment | | 3-10 years |
Leasehold improvements | | 6 years or lease term, if shorter |
Intangible Assets
Amortization is recorded over the expected useful life of the intangible asset. The Company evaluates the useful lives assigned to intangible assets on a regular basis. Amortization periods and methods are as follows:
| | Years
| | Method
|
---|
Non-compete agreements | | 2.5 | | Straight-line |
Software | | 3 | | Straight-line |
Customer relationships | | 8 | | Accelerated |
The accelerated method of amortization for the customer relationships intangible is based upon the estimated cash flows expected to be derived from the customer relationships.
F-10
Effective January 1, 2002, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 142,Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. SFAS No. 142 requires the use of a non-amortization approach to account for purchased goodwill and certain intangibles. Under the non-amortization approach, goodwill and certain intangibles are not amortized into results of operations, but instead are reviewed for impairment at least annually and written down and charged to operations only in the periods in which the recorded value of goodwill and certain intangibles exceeds its fair value.
Long-Lived Assets
In accordance with SFAS No. 144,Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, the Company reviews its long-lived assets including property and equipment and intangible assets other than goodwill, whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable. To determine the recoverability of its long-lived assets, the Company evaluates the probability that future estimated undiscounted net cash flows will be less than the carrying amount of the assets. If such cash flows are more likely than not to be less than the carrying amount of the long-lived assets, then such assets are written down to their fair value. The Company's estimates of anticipated cash flows and the remaining estimated useful lives of long-lived assets could be reduced significantly in the future. As a result, the carrying amount of long-lived assets could be reduced in the future.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company's financial instruments consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, long-term debt, and preferred stock. In management's opinion, the carrying amounts of these financial instruments approximate their fair values at December 31, 2001 and 2002.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for stock-based employee compensation arrangements using the intrinsic value method in accordance with provisions of Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25,Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and complies with the disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 123,Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. Under APB Opinion No. 25, compensation cost is generally recognized based on the difference, if any, on the date of grant between the fair value of the Company's stock and the amount an employee must pay to acquire the stock.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with SFAS No. 109,Accounting for Income Taxes. Under SFAS No. 109, deferred tax assets or liabilities are computed based upon the difference between financial statement and income tax bases of assets and liabilities using the enacted marginal tax rate. The Company provides a valuation allowance on its net deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that such assets will not be realized.
Earnings Per Share
SFAS No. 128,Earnings Per Share, requires the presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share. Basic net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing income (loss) attributable to common stockholders
F-11
by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. The diluted net income (loss) per share data is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus the dilutive effect of common stock equivalents, unless the common stock equivalents are antidilutive. For purposes of computing basic earnings per share, 1,265,440 and 1,105,372 shares of unvested common stock outstanding at December 31, 2002 and June 30, 2003, respectively, purchased by executives and employees of the Company (the Reserved Stock, Carried Stock and Restricted Stock—See Note 9) are not treated as outstanding until they vest. The effect of Class A Preferred Stock and Class B Preferred Stock converting into shares of common stock was not included in the computation of diluted loss per share as the effect would be anti-dilutive. In addition, warrants to purchase 94,868 shares of common stock that were outstanding as of December 31, 2002 and June 30, 2003 were excluded from the computation of diluted loss per share as their effect would be anti-dilutive. The treasury stock effect of 1,265,440 and 1,105,372 shares of unvested common stock held by executives and employees (the Reserved Stock, Carried Stock and Restricted Stock—See Note 9) as of December 31, 2002 and June 30, 2003, respectively, has also not been included in the computation of diluted loss per share as their effect would be anti-dilutive.
The following details the computation of the net loss per share (dollars in thousands, except per share data):

Segment Reporting
SFAS No. 131,Disclosure about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information, establishes standards for the way that public business enterprises report information about operating segments in annual financial statements and requires that these enterprises report selected information about operating segments in interim financial reports. SFAS No. 131 also establishes standards for related disclosures about products
F-12
and services, geographic areas and major customers. The Company maintains two operating segments. Both operating segments provide a range of services primarily to agencies of the federal government. The operating segments have been aggregated for financial reporting purposes based on similarities and consistencies in the customer base, economic characteristics, methods of marketing, selling and providing services, and workforces of each of the operating segments. Also, each of the operating segments is subject to the same Federal Acquisition Regulations that govern bid and proposal procedures, and utilize similar contract vehicles to provide services to the federal government.
Impact of Recently Issued and Proposed Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2001, Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 143,Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations. SFAS No. 143 addresses financial accounting and reporting for obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and the associated asset retirement costs. This statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002. The Company adopted SFAS No. 143 on January 1, 2003 and adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company's results of operations or financial position.
In April 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 145,Rescission of FASB StatementsNos. 4, 44 and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13 and Technical Corrections. Among other things, SFAS No. 145 rescinds both SFAS No. 4,Reporting Gains and Losses from Extinguishment of Debt, and the amendment to SFAS No. 4, SFAS No. 64,Extinguishment of Debt Made to Satisfy Sinking Fund Requirements. Through this rescission, SFAS No. 145 eliminates the requirement that gains and losses from the extinguishment of debt be aggregated and, if material, classified as an extraordinary item, net of the related income tax effect. Generally, SFAS No. 145 is effective for transactions occurring after May 15, 2002. Adoption of SFAS No. 145 requires that any loss incurred by the Company through the early retirement of debt be reflected as a component of other income and expense and not treated as an extraordinary item.
In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146,Accounting for Costs of Exit or Disposal Activities. SFAS No. 146 nullifies EITF Issue No. 94-3,Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring). This statement requires that an exit or disposal activity related cost be recognized when the liability is incurred instead of when an entity commits to an exit plan. The provisions of SFAS No. 146 are effective for financial transactions initiated after December 31, 2002. The Company adopted SFAS No. 146 on January 1, 2003 and such adoption and did not have a material impact on the Company's results of operations or financial position.
In December 2002, the Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") issued EITF Issue 00-21,Accounting for Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables. EITF 00-21 provides guidance on determining whether a revenue arrangement contains multiple deliverable items and if so, requires that revenue be allocated amongst the different items based on fair value. EITF 00-21 also requires that revenue on any item in a revenue arrangement with multiple deliverables not delivered completely must be deferred until delivery of the item is completed. The guidance in EITF 00-21 is effective for revenue arrangements entered into in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2003. The Company does not expect that implementation of EITF 00-21 will have a material impact on its results of operations or financial position.
In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150,Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity. This statement establishes standards for classifying and
F-13
measuring as liabilities certain financial instruments that have characteristics of both liabilities and equity. This statement is effective immediately for instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003 and for all other instruments that exist as of the beginning of the first interim financial reporting period beginning after June 15, 2003. However, the provisions of SFAS No. 150 will be applied to mandatorily redeemable instruments of nonpublic companies in fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2003. Early adoption of SFAS No. 150 is not permitted. Application of this standard to pre-existing instruments will be recognized as a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle. The provisions of this statement require that any financial instruments that are mandatorily redeemable on a fixed or determinable date or upon an event certain to occur be classified as liabilities. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this standard.
3. Acquisitions
On November 26, 2002, the Company acquired all of the membership interests of DGS from Getronics Wang Co. LLC (Getronics Parent) in a transaction accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. DGS' results of operations have been included in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations from the date of its acquisition. At closing, consideration for the acquisition consisted of 33,500 shares of Class B preferred stock and $183.4 million in cash. This consideration was subject to adjustment based upon a final determination of the amount of net working capital, depreciable assets and accrued contract losses, as defined, as of the date of acquisition. In 2003, the Company was required to pay approximately $8.3 million in cash as additional consideration as a result of the adjustment. Accordingly, the Company included this amount in the determination of the aggregate purchase price for the acquisition.
The aggregate consideration was determined as follows (dollars in thousands):
Fair value of Class B preferred stock | | $ | 33,500 |
Cash paid to seller | | | 191,702 |
Transaction costs and other | | | 11,389 |
| |
|
| | $ | 236,591 |
| |
|
Based upon its preliminary assessment, the Company allocated the purchase price based upon the fair values of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed. During the six months ended June 30, 2003, the Company revised certain of its estimates, related primarily to accounts receivable and accrued liabilities. The purchase price allocation has been adjusted as of June 30, 2003 to reflect the revisions to these estimates. The Company plans to complete its assessment during the third quarter of 2003 and will reflect any adjustments, which are not expected to be significant, to the purchase price allocation in its financial statements as of September 30, 2003.

The purchase consideration has been allocated on a preliminary basis as follows (dollars in thousands):

In connection with the DGS acquisition, the Company recognized approximately $8.6 million in liabilities as the cost of abandoning certain leased DGS facilities and terminating certain DGS employees. The accrual consisted primarily of lease costs and severance and other employee termination costs related to the termination of approximately 70 employees in connection with the expiration of the INS contract and the consolidation of certain other operations. For the year ended December 31, 2002, the Company charged $204,000 against the accrual for amounts paid. Payments related to the remaining obligation at December 31, 2002 will total approximately $3.0 million for 2003, approximately $2.5 million for 2004, approximately $0.7 million for 2005, approximately $0.4 million per year for 2006 and 2007, and approximately $1.4 million thereafter.
The DGS pre-acquisition November 25, 2002 balance sheet included $14.6 million of accounts receivable that will be collected by the Company but remitted to Getronics Parent. Because the Company is only collecting these accounts receivable on behalf of Getronics Parent, they were not included as acquired assets in the DGS purchase price allocation and accordingly do not appear on the December 31, 2002 balance sheet. In addition, the Company did not record a liability related to these amounts in the DGS purchase price allocation as the Company does not have an obligation to pay the Getronics Parent in the event that the accounts receivable are not collected. During the six months ended June 30, 2003 the Company collected approximately $14.6 million of such accounts receivable. As of June 30, 2003, the Company had not yet remitted approximately $4.8 million of the collections to Getronics Parent, which has been included in accounts payable in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.
The pro forma information presented below (dollars in thousands, except per share data) reflects the DGS acquisition and the related financing transactions as if each had occurred at the beginning of each

Getronics Parent Settlement
In February 2003, the Company entered into a settlement agreement with Getronics Parent pursuant to which the Company paid an aggregate of $8.3 million in full payment of the purchase price adjustment. The settlement agreement also grants the Company the option to redeem for cash all or any outstanding shares of the Class B Preferred Stock for their liquidation value plus the accrued but unpaid dividends upon the consummation of an IPO, if the IPO is consummated on or prior to August 26, 2003.

At December 31, 2002, the unbilled accounts receivable relate primarily to accounts due under contracts that had not yet received formal government funding at year-end due to delayed appropriations bills. The Company is precluded from billing for its services until the government has formally funded the contract. Substantially all of the unbilled accounts receivable are expected to be billed and collected within 90 days of the balance sheet date.

Senior Secured Credit Facility
In November 2002, the Company entered into a $105.0 million credit agreement (the Senior Secured Credit Facility) with a syndicate of commercial lenders. The Senior Secured Credit Facility includes a receivable-based revolving line of credit which permits borrowings and issuances of letters of credit of up to $25.0 million (Revolving Credit Facility), and an $80.0 million term loan facility (the Term Loan). The available borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility may be limited based upon a certain percentage of the Company's eligible billed and unbilled accounts receivable, as defined. As of December 31, 2002 and June 30, 2003, the Company had $2.0 million in outstanding letters of credit under the Revolving Credit Facility related to its leased facility in Herndon, Virginia. At December 31, 2002 and June 30, 2003, the Company had available but unused borrowing capacity of approximately $19.1 million and $23.0 million, respectively, under the Revolving Credit Facility. The Term Loan was issued at a discount of $570,000 from its face amount. This discount is being recognized as additional interest expense over the term of the debt using the effective interest method.
Borrowings under the Senior Secured Credit Facility bear interest, at the Company's option, at a rate based on the British Bankers Association Interest Settlement Rate for deposits in dollars or at a rate that is the higher of the prime rate or the federal funds rate plus 50 basis points, in each case plus an applicable margin that varies depending upon the Company's consolidated leverage ratio, as defined. Beginning in 2003 through December 31, 2004 quarterly principal payments of $1.25 million are required on the Term Loan, which will increase to $2.50 million, $6.25 million and $8.75 million each quarter for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2006 and 2007, respectively. The Senior Secured Credit Facility requires mandatory prepayments and commitment reductions upon the occurrence of certain events, including among others, sales of assets, excess cash flow, and issuances of debt and equity, including an initial public offering (IPO). The Company is required to use the proceeds of an IPO, first to repay the then outstanding subordinated bridge notes, second to repay the outstanding Term Loan, and next to reduce the Revolving Credit Facility. The requirement to prepay amounts due under the Term Loan and the Revolving Credit Facility will terminate when the Company's ratio of debt to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA as defined) for the four most recent quarters is equal to or less than 2.25 to 1.00. For purposes of computing this ratio, the Senior Secured Credit Facility specifies the amount of EBITDA for each of the quarters ending December 31, 2001, March 31, 2002, June 30, 2002, and September 30, 2002 as approximately $8.9 million, $7.7 million, $12.0 million, and $9.7 million, respectively.
The obligations under the Senior Secured Credit Facility are secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company. The Senior Secured Credit Facility contains certain restrictive covenants including, among others, requirements related to operating results and leverage, as well as restrictions related to liens, investments, additional indebtedness, dispositions of assets, dividends, distributions, issuances of equity securities, transactions with affiliates, capital expenditures and certain other changes in the business. The financial covenants include the requirement to maintain minimum EBITDA levels, a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio, a maximum total leverage ratio and a maximum senior leverage ratio. The requirement to maintain minimum EBITDA levels will terminate in the event that the total leverage ratio is equal to or less than 2.25 to 1.00. The Company was in compliance with these covenants as of December 31, 2002 and June 30, 2003. In connection with the Senior Secured Credit Facility, the Company incurred approximately $4.3 million in financing costs, which are being amortized as interest expense over the term of the debt using the effective interest method.
F-19
2003 Credit Facility
In July 2003 and in connection with the completion of the Company's offering of senior notes, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the 2003 Credit Facility) with a syndicate of commercial lenders, which provides for a $50.0 million revolving credit facility to be used for working capital and general corporate purposes, for capital expenditures, and for future acquisitions. The borrowing capacity under the 2003 Credit Facility provides for the issuance of up to $5.0 million in letters of credit. The available borrowings under the 2003 Credit Facility may be limited based upon a percentage of the Company's eligible billed and unbilled accounts receivable, as defined.
Borrowings under the 2003 Credit Facility bear interest at varying rates at the Company's option, based on either the British Bankers Association Interest Settlement Rate for deposits in dollars or a rate that is the higher of the prime rate or the federal funds rate plus one-half of one percent, in each case plus an applicable margin that varies depending on the Company's consolidated total leverage ratio, as defined. The Company will also incur a commitment fee on the unused portion of the 2003 Credit Facility at a rate that varies depending upon the Company's consolidated total leverage ratio, as defined. Borrowings under the 2003 Credit Facility may be voluntarily prepaid and reborrowed in whole or in part at the option of the Company. However, the Company is required to use the net proceeds from certain asset sales to prepay any outstanding borrowings. The 2003 Credit Facility will terminate in July 2007, at which time all outstanding borrowings must be repaid in full.
Obligations under the 2003 Credit Facility are secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company. The 2003 Credit Facility contains certain restrictive covenants including, among others, requirements related to operating results and leverage, as well as restrictions related to liens, investments, additional indebtedness, disposition of assets, dividends, distributions, issuances of equity securities, transactions with affiliates, capital expenditures, and certain other changes in the business. The financial covenants include the requirement to maintain a maximum consolidated total leverage ratio, minimum consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio, and minimum net worth.
Bridge Loan Agreement
In November 2002, the Company entered into a bridge loan agreement with a commercial lender to borrow $44.0 million through a subordinated bridge note (the Subordinated Bridge Note). The Subordinated Bridge Note bears interest at an annual rate of 15% and is due on August 26, 2003 (Maturity Date). Annual interest equal to 13% is payable in cash quarterly with the remaining 2% payable in cash or added to the outstanding principal balance at the Company's option. The Company has the option to extend the due date to November 26, 2003 (Extended Maturity Date) upon meeting certain requirements in the agreement including maintaining a minimum EBITDA level and a maximum total leverage ratio.
In addition, if on the Maturity Date, or if applicable, the Extended Maturity Date, an IPO has not occurred, there have been no continued events of default, as defined, and there has not been a material adverse effect, the Company, at its option, may rollover and exchange borrowings under the Subordinated Bridge Note for a new note (the Rollover Note). The Rollover Note will bear interest at an annual rate of 15% with 13% payable quarterly in cash and 2% payable in cash or added to the outstanding principal balance at the Company's option with a maturity date of the earlier of seven years from the date of its issuance or six months after the maturity of the Term Loan. The Rollover Notes will be subject to financial
F-20
covenants including maintaining a minimum EBITDA level, maintaining a maximum total leverage ratio, and maintaining a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio. In addition, the Company is required to use the net cash proceeds of any IPO to prepay amounts outstanding under the Subordinated Bridge Note. Borrowings under the Subordinated Bridge Note are subordinated to the Senior Secured Credit Facility. The bridge loan agreement contains certain restrictive covenants including, among others, requirements related to operating results and leverage, as well as restrictions related to liens, investments, indebtedness, dispositions of assets, dividends, distributions, issuances of equity securities, transactions with affiliates, capital expenditures and certain other changes in the business. The financial covenants include the requirement to maintain minimum EBITDA levels, a minimum fixed charge leverage ratio, a maximum total leverage ratio and a maximum senior leverage ratio. The requirement to maintain EBITDA levels will terminate in the event that the total leverage ratio is equal to or less than 2.25 to 1.00. The Company was in compliance with these covenants as of December 31, 2002 and June 30, 2003. In connection with the Subordinated Bridge Note, the Company incurred approximately $1.9 million in financing costs, which are being amortized as interest expense over the term of the debt using the effective interest method.
In connection with the Subordinated Bridge Note, the Company issued warrants to purchase 94,868 shares of common stock to the lender. The warrants have a ten-year life, and were issued with an exercise price of $0.01 per share. A portion of the proceeds of the Subordinated Bridge Note has been allocated to the value of the warrants. The fair value of the warrants was determined using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions: risk-free interest rate of approximately 4%, expected life of 10 years, volatility of 100% and no dividends. The resulting debt discount is being amortized to interest expense using the effective interest rate method over the term of the Subordinated Bridge Note. In the event the Subordinated Bridge Note is not repaid on either the Maturity Date or the Extended Maturity Date, the Company will be required to release to the lender warrants to purchase an additional 379,475 shares of common stock with an exercise price of $0.01 per share that are currently being held in escrow.

Senior Notes
In July 2003, DigitalNet, Inc. issued $125.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 9% Senior Notes due July 15, 2010 (the "Notes"). The proceeds from the sale of the Notes were used to the repay the outstanding balances of the Term Loan and Subordinated Bridge Note and the related lending commitments were terminated. The Company will be required to make semi-annual interest payments in arrears on January 15 and July 15 of each year the Notes are outstanding, commencing on January 15, 2004. At any
F-21
time prior to July 15, 2006, the Company may redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes at a price equal to 109.00% of the outstanding principal balance, plus accrued but unpaid interest and liquidated damages, as defined. However, any redemption must occur within 90 days of the closing of an equity issuance, as defined. After July 15, 2007, the Company may redeem the Notes, in whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to 104.50%, 102.25%, or 100.00% of the outstanding principal balance of the Notes if redeemed during the twelve month period beginning on July 15, 2007, 2008, or 2009, respectively, plus accrued but unpaid interest and liquidated damages, as defined. Upon a change in control, as defined, the holders of the Notes may require the Company to repurchase all or a portion of the Notes at a purchase price equal to 101.00% of the outstanding principal amount, plus accrued but unpaid interest and liquidated damages, as defined.
The Notes are unsecured obligations of DigitalNet, Inc. and accordingly will rank equally in right of payment with any future unsubordinated unsecured indebtedness of DigitalNet, Inc. The Notes are guaranteed on a full, unconditional, joint, and several basis by the Company and all of its domestic subsidiaries. The indenture governing the Notes contains certain restrictive covenants including, among others, requirements related to liens, dividends, investments, issuances of securities, repurchases of securities, consolidations and mergers, transactions with affiliates, and certain other changes in the business.
9. Stockholders' Equity
Stock Purchase Agreement
In September 2001, the Company entered into a purchase agreement (the Stock Purchase Agreement) and completed the first of a series of investment transactions with GTCR Golder Rauner, L.L.C. (GTCR) and certain executives (including entities for the benefit of the executives or their family members, the Executives) of the Company. Under the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement, GTCR committed to provide up to $96 million in capital to the Company to fund acquisitions as well as for other general corporate purposes. Pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement, up to 4,200,000 shares of common stock will be issued to GTCR at a price of $0.80 per share and up to 92,640 shares of Class A Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock (Class A Preferred Stock) will be issued to GTCR at a price of $1,000 per share. The Executives are also required to purchase additional common and Class A Preferred Stock at the same per share prices in proportion to all GTCR investments.
As part of the initial investment transaction in September 2001, the Company issued 1,250,000 shares of common stock to GTCR resulting in net cash proceeds of $990,000. Concurrent with the GTCR investment, the Executives purchased an aggregate of 753,874 shares of common stock for proceeds of approximately $603,000. In April 2002 and October 2002, the Company sold an additional 662,500 and 215,000 shares of common stock, respectively, to GTCR resulting in net cash proceeds of approximately $695,000. Concurrent with these GTCR investments, the Company sold to the Executives an additional 399,554 and 129,667 shares of common stock, in April 2002 and October 2002, respectively, for consideration of approximately $423,000. In connection with the DGS acquisition in November 2002, the Company sold 2,072,500 shares of common stock and 58,744 shares of Class A Preferred Stock to GTCR for net cash proceeds of approximately $59.8 million. Concurrent with this GTCR investment, the Executives purchased 1,249,931 shares of common stock and 2,632 shares of Class A Preferred Stock from the Company for consideration of approximately $3.6 million. In addition, GTCR purchased 205,693 shares of common stock from the Executives for $0.80 per share in connection with the DGS acquisition. The net proceeds of approximately $63.4 million received
F-22
in November 2002 were allocated between the Company's common stock ($13.2 million) and Class A Preferred Stock ($50.2 million) for financial reporting purposes based on the estimated fair value of each security, which was $4.00 per share for the common stock and $825.47 per share for the Class A Preferred Stock.
In March 2003, the Company, GTCR, and the Executives amended the Stock Purchase Agreement. Under the terms of the amended Stock Purchase Agreement, upon consummation of an IPO GTCR will no longer be obligated to provide up to $96 million in capital to the Company. The amended agreement will also terminate the Executives' requirement to purchase additional shares of stock in proportion to any future investment by GTCR upon consummation of an IPO.
Common Stock Held by Executives and Other Employees
Certain shares of common stock purchased by the Executives are subject to repurchase at the discretion of the Company (the Reserved Stock) and certain shares held by the Executives and other employees are subject to repurchase by the Company upon the Executive's or the employee's separation from the Company.
Reserved Stock
The Reserved Stock is subject to senior management agreements (the Management Agreements) dated September 7, 2001 with each of the Executives. Concurrent with the GTCR investments, an aggregate of 973,614 shares of Reserved Stock were purchased by the Executives. Consideration for the purchases consisted of a combination of cash and promissory notes. Pursuant to the Management Agreements, the Company may at its discretion, repurchase any or all of the Reserved Stock for $0.80 per share in order to re-issue a corresponding number of shares of common stock and/or options to purchase common stock to other employees. During the year ended December 31, 2002, the Company repurchased 88,125 shares of Reserved Stock from the Executives for $0.80 per share, which were subsequently sold to certain other employees and consultants of the Company at a price per share of $0.80. The Executives held 679,796 shares of Reserved Stock as of December 31, 2002.
The Company's unilateral option to repurchase the Reserved Stock expires on the earlier of a liquidity event, as defined, or an IPO (collectively the Qualifying Events). Upon a Qualifying Event, other than an IPO, the Executives' Reserved Stock vests retroactively, beginning with the date of the Management Agreements, with approximately 35% vesting on the date of the Management Agreements, and approximately 2% vesting on the last day of each month thereafter. Subsequent to a Qualifying Event, other than an IPO, any unvested shares of Reserved Stock are subject to repurchase only upon the applicable Executives' separation from the Company. The repurchase price upon separation will be the lower of (a) the original purchase price or (b) the fair market value on the date of separation. Upon an IPO, the Executives' Reserved Stock will vest immediately, and a portion of the vested Reserved Stock will be subject to transferability restrictions that lapse over time.
Because the number of shares of Reserved Stock to be held by the Executives will not be fixed until the occurrence of a Qualifying Event, the Company will measure and record stock compensation costs equal to the difference between the fair value of the Company's common stock on the date of a Qualifying Event and the original per share purchase price of the Reserved Stock, multiplied by the number of shares of Reserved Stock retained by the Executives. Upon the occurrence of a Qualifying Event, other than an IPO, a portion of
F-23
the total stock-based compensation cost will be recognized as an expense immediately at the time of the Qualifying Event based upon the effect of retroactive vesting with the remainder recognized as deferred compensation and charged to expense over the remaining vesting period. Upon the occurrence of an IPO, the total stock-based compensation cost will be recognized as expense.
Carried Stock
Concurrent with the GTCR investments, an aggregate 1,371,288 shares of common stock (the Carried Stock) were purchased by the Executives. Consideration for the purchases consisted of a combination of cash and full recourse promissory notes. Pursuant to the Management Agreements, the Executives' Carried Stock vests approximately 35% on the date of the Management Agreement and approximately 2% on the last day of each month thereafter. The vesting for any Carried Stock purchased by the Executives subsequent to the date of the initial purchase and the date of the Management Agreements will be determined retroactively, beginning with the original date of the Management Agreements. Any unvested shares of Carried Stock will be subject to repurchase by the Company upon the Executives' separation from the Company at the lower of (a) the Executives' original purchase price or (b) the fair market value of each share on the separation date.
Restricted Stock
During 2002, the Company sold an aggregate of 88,125 shares of common stock (the Restricted Stock) to other employees of the Company (the Initial Employees). The shares were sold at $0.80 per share, in exchange for cash and promissory notes. In the event that the Initial Employees cease to be employed or engaged by the Company for any reason, the common stock is subject to repurchase at the option of the Company. The Initial Employees vest in the Restricted Stock ratably over 3 to 4 year periods. Restricted Stock that has vested is subject to repurchase at the fair market value of the stock (the Fair Value Shares) at the repurchase date. Restricted Stock that has not vested may be repurchased at its original cost. If the Company elects not to repurchase the shares of common stock upon the separation of the Initial Employees from the Company, the remaining investors shall have the right to purchase the Restricted Stock. The Fair Value Shares are subject to restrictions on transferability. Such restrictions lapse upon the occurrence of certain events.
Because the promissory notes issued to finance the stock purchases of the Restricted Stock have a fixed rate of interest which may not equal a market rate of interest on the date the shares of Restricted Stock become vested, these stock awards have been accounted for as variable awards resulting in the requirement that stock-based compensation cost be measured each reporting period based on the fair value of the Company's common stock at that date and attributed to expense based on the vesting of the awards. Accordingly, the Company recognized deferred stock-based compensation of $440,000 as of December 31, 2002, of which $265,000 was charged to expense during the fourth quarter of 2002. As of June 30, 2003, the Company had recognized additional deferred stock-based compensation of $581,000 and during the six months ended June 30, 2003, the Company recognized $485,000 of stock-based compensation expense.
Amendments to Management and Employment Agreements
In March 2003, the Company amended the Executives' Management Agreements to provide for the immediate vesting of the outstanding shares of Carried Stock upon the consummation of an IPO. The modification to the terms of the Carried Stock to accelerate vesting results in a new measurement date for
F-24
purposes of measuring compensation related to the Carried Stock. Although measurement of compensation is made at the date of the modification, the recognition of compensation expense, if any, will depend on whether the Executives retain or are expected to retain shares of the Carried Stock that otherwise would have been forfeited. In the event of an Executive's separation or expected separation from the Company prior to the original vesting term, the Company will record compensation expense at that time based upon the previously measured compensation and the benefit ultimately received by the Executive from the accelerated vesting. Upon an IPO, the Executives will also be required to repay the outstanding balance of the promissory notes issued in connection with their purchases of Carried Stock. The amended Management Agreements also will terminate the Executives' requirement to purchase additional shares of stock in connection with any future GTCR investments upon the consummation of an IPO.
In March 2003, the Company amended the Initial Employees' employment agreements to provide for the immediate vesting of the outstanding shares of Restricted Stock in connection with the consummation of an IPO. Upon an IPO, the Initial Employees will also be required to repay the outstanding balance of the promissory notes issued in connection with the purchases of Restricted Stock.
Stockholders Agreement
In connection with the GTCR Purchase Agreement, the Company, GTCR, and the Executives (collectively, the "Investors"), entered into a stockholders agreement. The stockholders agreement, among other things, grants the Executives certain participation rights in connection with the transfer of stock by GTCR, grants the Company and the Investors certain rights of first refusal, and provides for voting rights with respect to the election of directors. In November 2002, the stockholders agreement was amended and restated to include the holders of the Class A Preferred Stock, Class B Preferred Stock, and warrants to purchase common stock within its provisions.
10. Preferred Stock
Class A Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock
The holders of the Class A Preferred Stock are entitled to a 6 percent cumulative dividend, which is paid when declared by the Company's Board of Directors. As of December 31, 2002 and June 30, 2003, accrued but unpaid dividends totaled $363,000 and approximately $2.2 million, respectively. The Company can redeem the shares at any time for their liquidation value of $1,000 per share plus accrued but unpaid dividends. The shares have no voting rights. Upon the occurrence of an IPO, change in ownership, or fundamental change, as defined, a majority of the holders of the Class A Preferred Stock can require the Company to redeem all or a portion of their shares for cash in an amount equal to their liquidation value, which includes accrued but unpaid dividends. If the Class A Preferred Stock has not been redeemed prior to or upon a qualified IPO, each share will automatically convert into Company common stock computed based on the aggregate liquidation value of the preferred stock, which includes accrued but unpaid dividends divided by a number which is equal to the price per share of the Company's common stock at its IPO.
In connection with financing the acquisition of DGS, the Company issued shares of common stock and Class A Preferred Stock concurrently for total consideration of approximately $63.4 million, net of a one percent investment fee paid to GTCR in connection with the investment. For financial reporting purposes, the Company has allocated the proceeds between the common stock and the Class A Preferred Stock based upon
F-25
management's estimate of the fair value of each security with approximately $13.2 million allocated to the common stock and $50.2 million allocated to the Class A Preferred Stock. The Class A Preferred Stock was immediately redeemable on the date of issuance as Class A Preferred Stock can be redeemed at any time by the Company at its liquidation value plus accrued but unpaid dividends and the holders of the majority of Class A Preferred Stock control the Company through their ownership of common stock and board of directors representation. The liquidation value of the shares of Class A Preferred Stock was approximately $61.4 million on the date of issuance. Because the initial carrying amount of the Class A Preferred Stock on the date of issuance was less than the redemption amount and the Class A Preferred Stock was immediately redeemable, the Company recorded approximately $11.2 million in accretion on the date of issuance. In addition, because the Class A Preferred Stock was issued at a discount to its liquidation value which is the basis for conversion upon an IPO, the effective conversion price of the Class A Preferred Stock will be less than the price per share offered to the public upon an IPO. In accordance with EITF 98-5, "Accounting for Convertible Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features or Contingently Adjustable Conversion Ratios," this beneficial conversion feature of approximately $11.2 million has been measured at the date of issuance and will be recognized and recorded as a dividend and a corresponding credit to additional paid-in capital upon consummation of an IPO.
Class B Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock
As consideration in the DGS acquisition, the Company issued 33,500 shares of Class B Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock (the Class B Preferred Stock). The holders of the Class B Preferred Stock are entitled to a 6% cumulative dividend, which is paid when declared by the Company's Board of Directors. As of December 31, 2002 and June 30, 2003, accrued but unpaid dividends totaled $198,000 and $1.2 million, respectively. The shares have no voting rights.
In the event that the Company exercises its right to redeem the Class A Preferred Stock, the holders of the Class B Preferred Stock will have the right to participate in such redemption. Upon the occurrence of a change in ownership or fundamental change, as defined, the holders of the Class B Preferred Stock can require the Company to redeem all of their shares for liquidation value, plus accrued but unpaid dividends, or they may convert their respective shares into common stock. In addition, upon the occurrence of an IPO, a majority of the holders of the Class A Preferred Stock can require the Company to redeem all or any portion of the Class A Preferred Stock and the Class B Preferred Stock for its liquidation value, plus accrued but unpaid dividends, provided however that any holder of the Class B Preferred Stock may elect to convert their respective shares into common stock. If the Class B Preferred Stock has not been redeemed at the consummation of an IPO, the shares will automatically convert into Company common stock in an amount computed based on the aggregate liquidation value of the Class B Preferred Stock, which includes accrued but unpaid dividends divided by a number which is equal to 81.667% of the price per share of the Company's common stock at its IPO. This discount to the price per share offered to the public, results in a beneficial conversion feature of approximately $7.5 million. Because conversion is contingent on the occurrence of a future event, the value of the beneficial conversion feature will not be recognized until the contingent future event occurs in accordance with EITF 98-5,Accounting for Convertible Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features or Contingently Adjustable Conversion Ratios. If converted at an IPO, the Company would record the $7.5 million beneficial conversion feature and the related dividend.

DIGITALNET GOVERNMENT SOLUTIONS, LLC
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2001 AND NOVEMBER 25, 2002
1. The Company
Business Description
DigitalNet Government Solutions, LLC, formerly Getronics Government Solutions, L.L.C. (the Company) is a Delaware Limited Liability Company. On November 26, 2002, all of the Company's membership interests were purchased by DigitalNet Holdings, Inc. (DigitalNet) in exchange for cash and shares of DigitalNet preferred stock. Prior to this acquisition, Getronics Government Solutions, L.L.C., was a wholly owned subsidiary of GetronicsWang Co. LLC, (GetronicsWang) which was wholly owned by Getronics, NV (collectively referred to as the Getronics Parent).
The Company is a provider of managed network services, information security solutions, and application development and integration services to U.S. defense intelligence and civilian federal government agencies. The Company's comprehensive information technology services and solutions allow federal government clients to outsource some or all of the activities related to the design, implementation, integration, management and security of their computer networks and systems. During each of the periods presented, substantially all of the Company's consolidated revenues were derived from contracts with the U.S. government, directly as a prime contractor or as a subcontractor.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Practices
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of DigitalNet Government Solutions, LLC and its wholly owned subsidiary. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States 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.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue under its government contracts when a contract has been executed, the contract price is fixed and determinable, delivery of services or products has occurred, and collection of the contract price is considered probable and can be reasonably estimated. Revenue is earned under time-and-materials, fixed-price and cost-plus contracts. Deferred revenues represent payments received for goods and services not yet shipped or rendered to the customer. Contract costs are expensed as incurred.
Revenues on time-and-materials contracts are recognized based on direct labor hours expended at contract billing rates, other billable direct costs and applicable indirect costs.
Fixed-price contracts may include either a product delivery or specific service performance throughout a period. Revenue on fixed-price contracts that provide for the Company to render services throughout a period are recognized as earned according to contract terms as the service is provided. The majority of revenues on the Company's fixed-price service contracts relate to managed network service contracts in which customers receive a bundle of services often including management services, the use of the Company's hardware and
F-40
software, network administration services and help desk support. For these contracts in which services are bundled and sold, the delivery of an individual service by itself does not represent the culmination of the earnings process. Customers pay the Company and the Company recognizes revenue based on fixed monthly prices often determined by the number of customer users. In other instances, the Company provides an individual customer with a number of different services that are generally documented through separately negotiated task orders that detail the services to be provided and the Company's compensation for these services. Services rendered under each task order represent a discrete earnings process and are not dependent on any other service or product sold by the Company. The Company sells its XTS, TEMPEST and Zone products to customers. Once delivered, these products do not require design, integration or implementation support for the Company's customers to receive immediate product functionality, accordingly. Revenues and associated contract costs are recognized upon product delivery and customer acceptance if required by contract.
Under cost-plus contracts, the Company is reimbursed for allowable costs and paid a fee, which may be fixed or performance-based. Revenues on cost-plus contracts are recognized as costs are incurred plus an estimate of applicable fees earned. The Company considers fixed fees under cost-plus contracts to be earned in proportion to the allowable costs incurred in performance of the contract, which generally corresponds to the timing of contractual billings. For cost-plus contracts that include performance based or fee incentives, the Company recognizes the portion of the expected fee to be awarded by the customer at the time such fee can be reasonably estimated, based on factors such as the Company's prior award experience and communications with the customer regarding performance.
The Company's contracts with agencies of the government are subject to periodic funding by the respective contracting agency. Funding for a contract may be provided in full at inception of the contract or annually throughout the contract consistent with the federal government's fiscal year. In evaluating the probability of funding for purposes of recognizing revenue and assessing collection of the contract price, the Company considers its previous experiences with its customers, communications with its customers regarding funding status, and the Company's knowledge of available funding for the contract or program. If funding is not considered probable, revenue recognition is deferred until realization is probable.
Contract revenue recognition inherently involves estimation. From time to time, facts arise that require revisions to estimated total costs or expected revenues. The cumulative impact of any revisions to estimates and the full impact of anticipated losses on any type of contract are recognized in the period in which they become known.
The allowability of certain costs under government contracts is subject to audit by the government. Certain indirect costs are charged to contracts using provisional or estimated indirect rates, which are subject to later revisions based on governmental audits of those costs. Management is of the opinion that costs subsequently disallowed, if any, would not be significant.
Significant Customers
Revenues generated from contracts with the federal government or prime contractors doing business with the federal government accounted for substantially all of the Company's revenues for the years ending
F-41
December 31, 2000 and 2001, and for the period from January 1, 2002 through November 25, 2002. Revenues from contracts representing greater than 10 percent of revenues were as follows:
| | Percent of Revenues

Immigration Naturalization Services (INS) Facilities Operation Support (FOS) | | 15 | | 15 | | 18 | |
The term of the Company's INS/FOS contract expired on November 30, 2002 and was not renewed by the customer. The Company's NASA CSOC contract base period expires on December 31, 2003 and the Company has been notified by its customer, the prime contractor, that the contract will not be renewed because NASA has decided not to renew the prime contractor's contract. See Note 8 for a further discussion of this contract.
Credit Risk
The Company's assets that are exposed to credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable. Accounts receivable consist primarily of billed and unbilled amounts, including indirect cost rate variances, due from various agencies of the federal government or prime contractors doing business with the federal government. The Company historically has not experienced significant losses related to accounts receivable and therefore believes that credit risk related to accounts receivable is minimal. The Company maintains cash balances at financial institutions that may at times exceed federally insured limits. The Company maintains this cash at high credit quality institutions and, as a result, believes credit risk related to its cash is minimal.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents.
Inventory
Inventories consist of computer equipment and peripherals and are stated at the lower of cost or market where cost is determined primarily on the average costing method. Allowances for obsolete or slow-moving inventory are based on the Company's overall obsolescence experience and its assessment of future inventory requirements.
F-42
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization are computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets, as follows:
Project assets | | 3-5 years or contract term, if shorter |
Machinery and equipment | | 3-10 years |
Leasehold improvements | | 6 years or lease term, if shorter |
Intangible Assets
Amortization of acquired intangible assets is recorded on a straight-line basis over their expected useful lives. The Company evaluates the useful lives assigned to intangible assets on a regular basis. Amortization periods (prior to January 1, 2002) are as follows:
Software license | | 5.5 years |
Assembled workforce | | 10 years |
Goodwill | | 15-25 years |
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
During 2000 and 2001 long-lived assets, including property and equipment, goodwill and identifiable intangible assets to be held and used, were reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicated that the carrying amount should be addressed pursuant to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 121,Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of. Commencing January 1, 2002, the Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 144,Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets to assess impairment of its long-lived assets excluding goodwill as more fully described in "Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards." Beginning in the first quarter of fiscal year 2002, the Company's goodwill is subject to the impairment test requirements of SFAS No. 142. The impairment evaluation criteria of SFAS No. 144 are generally consistent with SFAS No. 121. Pursuant to these accounting standards, impairment is determined by comparing the carrying value of these long-lived assets to management's estimate of the future undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use of the assets and eventual disposition. In the event impairment exists, a loss is recognized based on the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the asset, which is generally determined by using quoted market prices or valuation techniques such as the discounted present value of expected future cash flows, appraisals, or other pricing models as appropriate. The Company believes that no impairment existed as of December 31, 2001 and November 25, 2002. In the event that there are changes in the planned use of the Company's long-term assets or its expected future undiscounted cash flows are reduced significantly, the Company's assessment of its ability to recover the carrying value of these assets under SFAS No. 144 would change.
F-43
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company's financial instruments consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and accounts payable. In management's opinion, the carrying amounts of these financial instruments approximate their fair values at December 31, 2001 and November 25, 2002.
Income Taxes
The Company follows the provisions of SFAS No. 109,Accounting for Income Taxes, for financial reporting purposes. The Company is taxed as a single-member LLC and, therefore, for all periods presented, the Company was included in the consolidated federal return of Getronics Parent. The accompanying financial statements provide for income taxes as if the Company had been taxed as a separate C corporation. Income taxes are accounted for using an asset and liability approach that requires the recognition of taxes payable or refundable for the current year and deferred tax liabilities and assets for the future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the Company's financial statements or tax returns. The measurement of current and deferred tax liabilities and assets are based on provisions of the enacted tax law; the effects of future changes in tax laws or rates are not anticipated. The measurement of net deferred tax assets is reduced, if necessary, by the amount of any tax benefits that, based on available evidence, are not expected to be realized.
Receivable from Getronics Parent, Net
Prior to its acquisition by DigitalNet, the Company transferred excess cash to Getronics Parent throughout the year. In addition, the Company incurred expenses for services provided by Getronics Parent on a fee for service basis. These services included payroll processing, insurance, legal support, tax and other miscellaneous services. The net cash transferred and amounts due for services is reflected as Receivables from Getronics Parent, net in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets (see Note 13 for further discussion of related party transactions).
Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 141,Business Combinations and SFAS No. 142,Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. SFAS No. 141 requires business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001, to be accounted for using the purchase method of accounting, and broadens the criteria for recording intangible assets separate from goodwill. Recorded goodwill and intangible assets were evaluated against these new criteria with the result that certain intangible assets were reclassified into goodwill.
SFAS No. 142 requires the use of the non-amortization approach to account for purchased goodwill and certain related intangibles. Under the non-amortization approach, goodwill and certain related intangibles are not amortized into results of operations, but instead are reviewed for impairment at least annually and written down and charged to operations only in the periods in which the recorded value of goodwill and certain related intangibles exceeds its fair value.
The Company adopted the provision of SFAS No. 142 beginning January 1, 2002. The adoption of these accounting standards has resulted in a reclassification of the previously identified intangible asset, assembled workforce, into goodwill and the cessation of goodwill amortization commencing on January 1, 2002. The carrying values of assembled workforce and goodwill were $391,000 and $69.7 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2001. Amortization related to goodwill and assembled workforce was approximately $5.4 million and $4.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2000 and 2001, respectively.
F-44
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Practices (Continued)
The Company completed the required impairment tests of goodwill that existed on January 1, 2002 and concluded that no impairment existed.
A reconciliation of previously reported net income with the amounts adjusted for the exclusion of goodwill and assembled workforce amortization net of related income tax effect follows (dollars in thousands):
| | Year ended December 31,

| | 2000
| | 2001

| |
| |
|
Adjusted net income | | $ | 7,236 | | $ | 22,514 |
| |
| |
|
In June 2001, FASB issued SFAS No. 143,Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations. SFAS No. 143 addresses financial accounting and reporting for obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and the associated asset retirement costs. This statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002. The Company will be required to implement SFAS No. 143 on January 1, 2003. The Company does not believe that adoption of this standard will have a material impact on its future earnings or results of operations or financial position.
In April 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 145,Rescission of FASB StatementsNos. 4, 44 and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13 and Technical Corrections. Among other things, SFAS No. 145 rescinds both SFAS No. 4,Reporting Gains and Losses from Extinguishment of Debt, and the amendment to SFAS No. 4, SFAS No. 64,Extinguishment of Debt Made to Satisfy Sinking Fund Requirements. Through this rescission, SFAS No. 145 eliminates the requirement that gains and losses from the extinguishment of debt be aggregated and, if material, classified as an extraordinary item, net of the related income tax effect. Generally, SFAS No. 145 is effective for transactions occurring after May 15, 2002. The Company does not believe SFAS No. 145 will have a material impact on its results of operation or financial position.
In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146,Accounting for Costs of Exit or Disposal Activities. SFAS No. 146 nullifies EITF Issue No. 94-3,Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring). This statement requires that an exit or disposal activity related cost be recognized when the liability is incurred instead of when an entity commits to an exit plan. The provisions of SFAS No. 146 are effective for financial transactions initiated after December 31, 2002. The Company does not believe SFAS No. 146 will have a material impact on its results of operation or financial position.
3. Purchase of the Company by DigitalNet Holdings, Inc.
On November 26, 2002, DigitalNet completed its acquisition of the Company from GetronicsWang Co. LLC for approximately $183.4 million in cash and 33,500 shares of DigitalNet Class B Preferred Stock. The cash consideration is subject to adjustment based upon a final determination of net working capital, depreciable assets and accrued contract losses, as defined, as of the date of acquisition. Immediately after the acquisition, Getronics Government Solutions, L.L.C. changed its name to DigitalNet Government Solutions, LLC.

4. Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable consists of the following (dollars in thousands):
| | December 31, 2001
| | November 25, 2002
| |
---|
Billed and currently billable accounts receivable | | $ | 71,855 | | $ | 74,648 | |

Accounts receivable, net | | $ | 75,602 | | $ | 77,198 | |
| |
| |
| |
The amounts included in currently billable accounts receivable represent amounts which were billed in the subsequent reporting period. They are billings for services rendered prior to period-end that were billed once necessary billing data had been collected and an invoice produced. Unbilled accounts receivable represent amounts which are not yet billable based upon contract terms. At November 25, 2002, the unbilled accounts receivable relate primarily to accounts due under contracts that had not yet received formal government funding at year-end due to delayed appropriations bills. The Company is precluded from billing for its services until the government has formally funded the contract. Substantially all of the unbilled accounts receivable are expected to be billed and collected within 90 days of the balance sheet date.

| |
| |
| |
The Company recognized approximately $5,378 and $4,239 of amortization during the years ended December 31, 2000 and 2001. Because intangibles other than goodwill were fully amortized prior to 2002,
F-46
and the Company ceased amortization of goodwill as of January 1, 2002 in accordance with SFAS No. 142, the Company recognized no amortization expense during the period ended November 25, 2002.

10. Postretirement Benefits
Defined Contribution Benefit Plans
Prior to its acquisition by DigitalNet on November 26, 2002, the Company participated in the Getronics Parent's defined contribution benefit plan, which covered substantially all employees of the Company. Contributions were generally based on fixed amounts of eligible compensation. The Company expensed $3.4 million, $3.3 million, and $3.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2000 and 2001, and for the period from January 1, 2002 through November 25, 2002, respectively, related to the plan. Immediately upon the acquisition by DigitalNet, the Company's participation in the plan ended.
Pension and Other Postretirement Benefit Plans
Prior to its acquisition by DigitalNet on November 26, 2002, the Company had a frozen defined benefit pension plan. As a result, no increase in compensation was factored into participants' benefits subsequent to the date that the plan was frozen. The Company also had a post-retirement medical and life insurance plan for certain of its employees as a result of prior acquisitions. Immediately prior to its acquisition by DigitalNet, the Company transferred all liabilities and related assets associated with the frozen defined benefit pension plan and post-retirement medical and life insurance plans to Getronics Parent. This transfer is shown as pension plan liabilities transferred to Getronics Parent in the accompanying statement of member's equity.

As of December 31, 2001 and November 25, 2002 the Company recorded a minimum pension liability of $21.9 million and $36.5 million, respectively, related to the accumulated benefit obligation in excess of the fair value of plan assets with related charges, net of deferred taxes, recorded as a component of "accumulated other comprehensive income."
11. Commitments and Contingencies
Leases
As of December 31, 2001, the Company has noncancelable operating leases, primarily for real estate, that expire over the next ten years. Rental expense and sublease income were $5.3 million and $2.3 million, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2000, $7.4 million and $2.1 million, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2001 and $7.1 million and $339,000, respectively, for the period from January 1, 2002 through November 25, 2002.

On July 7, 2000, the Company entered into a lease for its new headquarters. The term of the lease is 10 years commencing November 1, 2001. Concurrently, the Company established an irrevocable letter of credit in the amount of $2.0 million for the benefit of the landlord in lieu of a cash deposit.
Audit Review
Substantially all payments to the Company on government cost reimbursable contracts are provisional payments which are subject to adjustment upon audit by the Defense Contract Audit Agency (DCAA). Getronics Government Solutions, L.L.C. incurred cost submissions have been completed through December 31, 2001 and have been audited through December 31, 2000. There are no outstanding incurred cost submissions or audits for any previously acquired entities (I-NET, Inc., J.G. Van Dyke & Associates). The 2001 incurred cost audit is not expected to result in a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position or results of operations.
Litigation and Claims
The Company is periodically involved in disputes arising from normal business activities. In the opinion of management, resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse effect upon the financial position or future operating results of the Company, and adequate provision for any potential losses has been made in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
On February 2, 2002, the Company filed an action against Lockheed Martin Space Operations Company (Lockheed Martin) in connection with the NASA CSOC contract. The Company's complaint alleged multiple counts of breach of contract and other claims related to its subcontract with Lockheed Martin under the NASA CSOC program. In January 2003, the Company entered into a settlement agreement with Lockheed Martin that sets forth the amounts that Lockheed Martin has agreed to pay the Company for services previously performed and for future services under the NASA CSOC contract. The settlement agreement is subject to approval by NASA.
12. Other Balance Sheet Information
The Company provides services under long-term contractual commitments whereby certain of its equipment is held for use by others. The cost of these assets is recovered through contractual billings. The net book value of assets held for use by others amounted to approximately $9.3 million and $15.6 million at December 31, 2001 and November 25, 2002, respectively.

14. Line of Credit
On May 19, 2000 the Company entered into a credit facility with a financial institution that provided for a maximum borrowing capacity of $15 million until maturity on April 30, 2003. At December 31, 2001 and 2000, the Company had utilized approximately $2 million to support a letter of credit arrangement. Borrowings under the facility bore interest at the London Interbank Offered Rate, plus the applicable margin (as defined in the loan agreement). The facility contained financial covenants, including but not limited to tangible net worth coverage and required maintenance of specific billed accounts receivable levels and funded debt ratio percentage levels as defined in the loan agreement. The Company was not required to maintain compensating balances, however, it was required to pay a fee of 0.125% plus an applicable margin on the unused portion of the total facility. The Company did not have any borrowings on the credit facility as of December 31, 2001 or November 25, 2002. Concurrent with the Company's acquisition by DigitalNet, the $15 million credit facility was terminated.

The above discussion of Section 145 and of the issuer's Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws is not intended to be exhaustive and is respectively qualified in its entirety by such statute, the Certificate of Incorporation and the Bylaws.
DigitalNet Holdings, Inc. maintains primary and excess insurance policies insuring its directors and officers and those of its subsidiaries, including the issuer, against certain liabilities they may incur in their capacity as directors and officers. Under such policies, the insurer, on behalf of the issuer, may also pay amounts for which the issuer has granted indemnification to the directors or officers.

Indemnification of Directors and Officers of DigitalNet Government Solutions, LLC
DigitalNet Government Solutions, LLC is a limited liability company organized under the laws of the state of Delaware.
Section 18-108 of the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act ("Delaware LLC Act") provides that, subject to such standards and restrictions, if any, as are set forth in its limited liability company agreement, a limited liability company may, and shall have the power to, indemnify and hold harmless any member or manager or other person from and against any and all claims and demands whatsoever.
Section 4.13 of the subsidiary guarantor's Operating Agreement provides that DGS shall, to the fullest extent permitted by Section 18-108 of the Delaware LLC Act and consistent with the terms and requirements of the Proxy Agreement, indemnify each manager and officer of DGS who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that he is or was, or has agreed to become, a manager or officer of DGS, or is or was serving, or has agreed to serve, at the request of DGS, as a manager, officer or trustee of, or in a similar capacity with, another company, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise (including any employee benefit plan) (all such persons being referred to hereafter as an "indemnitee"), or by reason of any action alleged to have been taken or omitted in such capacity, against all expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by or on behalf of an indemnitee in connection with such action, suit or proceeding and any appeal therefrom.
Section 3.5 of the subsidiary guarantor's Operating Agreement provides that no member shall have any personal obligation for any obligations, losses, debts, claims, expenses or encumbrances (collectively, "liabilities") of or against DGS or its assets, whether such liabilities arise in contract, tort or otherwise, except to the extent that any such liabilities are expressly assumed in writing by such member. DGS shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless each member from and against any loss, liability, damage, cost or expense, including reasonable attorney's fees (collectively, "loss") incurred by reason of any demands, claims, suits, actions, or proceedings solely arising out of each member's activities in its capacity as a member (including, where appropriate, acting as the managers); except to the extent such loss arises from an activity where the member is finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to have acted in bad faith and in a manner that was fraudulent or grossly negligent. Expenses incurred in defending a civil or criminal action, suit or proceeding shall be paid by DGS in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding, and no less often than monthly, upon receipt of an undertaking by and on behalf of the indemnified party to repay such amount, if it shall ultimately be determined that such member is not entitled to be indemnified by DGS.
The above discussion of Section 18-108 and of the subsidiary guarantor's Certificate of Formation and Operating Agreement, both as amended and restated, is not intended to be exhaustive and is respectively qualified in its entirety by such statute, the Certificate of Formation and the Operating Agreement, both as amended and restated.
DigitalNet Holdings, Inc. maintains primary and excess insurance policies insuring its directors and officers and those of its subsidiaries against certain liabilities they may incur in their capacity as managers and officers.

Item 22. Undertakings.
The following undertakings are made by each of the undersigned registrants:
- (a)
- Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
- (b)
- The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to respond to requests for information that is incorporated by reference into the prospectus pursuant to Items 4, 10(b), 11, or 13 of this Form, within one business day of receipt of such request, and to send the incorporated documents by first class mail or other equally prompt means. This includes information contained in documents filed subsequent to the effective date of the registration statement through the date of responding to the request.
- (c)
- The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to supply by means of a post-effective amendment all information concerning a transaction, and the company being acquired involved therein, that was not the subject of and included in the registration statement when it became effective.
