INDEX
Explanatory Note
Management of the Company concluded on January 25, 2006 that the Company’s unaudited consensed consolidated financial statements contained in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB filed on January 19, 2006 for the nine months ended June 30, 2005, and that such previously filed financial statements should no longer be relied upon. The Company’s independent accountant agreed to these changes to the financial statements. The restatement of the financial statements related solely to the reflection of loans of $600,000 to Valentec from two of its stockholders in 2001. These loans mistakenly recorded as additional paid-in capital in the financial statement of Valentec instead of a note payable.
PART I — FINANCIAL INFORMATION
ITEM 1. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-QSB and Item 310(b) of Regulation S-B, and, therefore, do not include all information and footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of financial position, results of operations, cash flows, and stockholders’ equity in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations and financial position have been included and all such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. It is suggested that the following consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the year-end consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2004. Operating results for the six months ended June 30, 2005 are not necessarily indicative of the results that can be expected for the year ending December 31, 2005 or for any other period.

NOTE 1 ORGANIZATION AND PURPOSE
Acorn Holding Corp. (the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on September 8, 1983. Pursuant to the terms of an Assignment and Assumption Agreement (the “Assignment Agreement”), dated as of June 6, 2005, the Company has assumed all of the rights and obligations of Valentec Systems, Inc. (“Valentec”), the Company’s new wholly-owned subsidiary, under (1) the Promissory Note in the principal amount of $1,000,000 issued by Valentec on April 28, 2005 in favor of Montgomery Equity Partners, Ltd (the “Note”), and (2) the Standby Equity Distribution Agreement, dated April 28, 2005, by and between Cornell Capital Partners, LP (the “SEDA”), together with the related agreements and documents.
The foregoing summary of the terms and conditions of the Assignment Agreement, the Note, the SEDA and the related agreements and documents do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the agreements which are filed as exhibits to the Form 8-K and Form 8-K/A that were filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on May 27, 2005 and December 14, 2005.
On June 6, 2005, the transactions contemplated under the Stock Purchase and Share Exchange Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), dated May 27, 2005, by and among the Company, Valentec and the two stockholders of Valentec (the “Valentec Stockholders”) were consummated. Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the Company purchased all of the outstanding shares of common stock of Valentec (i.e., 100 shares) in exchange for the issuance by the Company to the Valentec Stockholders on a pro rata basis of 5,423,130 newly-issued shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $.01 per share (the “Common Stock”). The shares of Common Stock are restricted securities that are exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, in reliance on the exemption provided by Rule 506 of Regulation D. Following the consummation of such transactions, the Valentec Stockholders, on an aggregate basis, own approximately 77.47% of the issued and outstanding Common Stock.
Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, five of the six members of the board of directors of the Company, Paula Berliner, George Farley, Ronald J. Manganiello, Stephen A. Ollendorff and Bert Sager, resigned effective as of June 6, 2005. In addition, Edward N. Epstein resigned as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Larry V. Unterbrink resigned as the Company’s Secretary and Treasurer effective as of June 6, 2005. Mr. Epstein is the sole remaining member of the Company’s previous board of directors.
Effective as of June 6, 2005, Robert A. Zummo was appointed President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company. Since 2000, Mr. Zummo had been Chairman of the Board, President and Chief Executive Officer of Valentec.
NOTE 2 BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The consolidated interim financial statements reflect all adjustments, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to a fair statement of the financial position and results for the periods. These interim financial statements conform to the requirements for interim financial statements and consequently do not include all the disclosures normally required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The results for the six months ended June 30, 2005 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. Reporting developments have been updated where appropriate.

NOTE 3 ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(A) Use of Estimates
In preparing financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
(B) Loss per Share
Basic and diluted net profit or loss per common share is computed based upon the weighted average common shares outstanding as defined by Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, “Earnings Per Share.” As of June 30, 2005 and 2004, there were no common share equivalents outstanding.
(C) Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes” (“Statement 109”). Under Statement 109, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Under Statement 109, the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
(D) Concentration of Credit Risk
The Company at times has cash in banks in excess of FDIC insurance limits and places its temporary cash investments with high credit quality financial institutions. At June 30, 2005, the Company had approximately $1,559,000 in cash balances at financial institutions, which were in excess of the FDIC insured limits.

(G) Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 151, “Inventory Costs – an amendment of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4” SFAS No. 152, “Accounting for Real Estate Time-Sharing Transactions — an amendment of FASB Statements No. 66 and 67,” SFAS No. 153, “Exchanges of Non-monetary Assets – an amendment of APB Opinion No. 29,” and SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment,” were recently issued. SFAS No. 151, 152, 153 and 123 (revised 2004) have no current applicability to the Company and have no effect on the financial statements.
In January 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Interpretation No. 46, “Consolidation of Variable Entities”, (FIN No. 46) an interpretation of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51. FIN No. 46 requires that variable interest entities be consolidated by a company if that company is subject to a majority of the risk and loss from the variable interest entity’s activities or is entitled to receive a majority of the entity’s residual returns or both. FIN No. 46 requires disclosures about variable interest entities that companies are not required to consolidate but which the company has a significant variable interest. The consolidation requirements apply for newly formed variable interest entities created after January 31, 2003 and entities established prior to January 31, 2003, in the first fiscal year or interim period beginning after June 30, 2003. The adoption of FIN No. 46 is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated results of operations and financial position.

ITEM 2. | | MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS |
Certain statements in this Form 10-QSB may constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including those concerning management’s expectations with respect to future financial performance and future events, particularly relating to sales of current products. Such statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond the control of the Company, which could cause actual results and outcomes to differ materially from those expressed herein. These statements are often, but not always, made typically by use of words or phrases such as “estimate,” “plans,” “projects,” “anticipates,” “continuing,” “ongoing,” “expects,” “believes,” or similar words and phrases. Factors that might affect such forward-looking statements set forth in this Form 10-QSB include, among others: (i) increased competition from new and existing competitors and pricing practices from such competitors and (ii) general industry and economic conditions. Any forward-looking statements included in this Form 10-QSB are made only as of the date hereof, based on information available to the Company as of the date hereof, and subject to applicable law to the Company, the Company assumes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements.
The Company’s acquisition of Valentec on June 6, 2005 was treated as a reverse acquisition for financial reporting purposes. As such, the Company’s financial statements have been prepared as if Valentec was the acquiror. The results of operations discussed below represent the operations of Valentec through June 30, 2005. The results of operations subsequent to June 6, 2005 reflect the consolidated operations of Valentec and the Company.
Revenues for the second quarter ended June 30, 2005 came entirely from Valentec as the Company’s only operating subsidiary. Revenues for Valentec showed consistent improvement as
9
Valentec continues to gear up for higher productions levels to cut into its backlog of orders. Valentec spent heavily in prior years to develop the products and equipment necessary to meet customer demands, which is reflected in capitalized development cost.
Plan of Operation
As of December 31, 2003, the Company ceased its prior business operations and became a public shell and remained a public shell until its acquisition of Valentec was completed on June 6, 2005. Thus, from December 31, 2003 until May 2005, the Company had no revenues from operations. The Company plans to make investments in bids and proposal activity that, if successful, will significantly increase backlog, future sales and future profits. Valentec intends to bid on new U.S. Army systems ammunition requirements as well as new energetic and metal component requirements. Valentec also intends to make investments in automation equipment for one energetic production that may improve efficiencies and future profits. The Company is also planning to make certain strategic acquisitions that may increase backlog, sales and future profits.
The Board of Directors of each of Valentec and Valentec International Limited (“VIL”) have agreed to negotiate toward the acquisition of VIL by Valentec for $6,000,000 pursuant to further terms to be negotiated and included in a definitive agreement between the parties. VIL is a United Kingdom chartered and registered corporation that has been in business since 1978. VIL has been a supplier of conventional ammunition and related defense products to foreign governments.

Net income for the three months ended June 30, 2005 was $445,665 compared to a net loss of ($1,334,911) for the three months ended June 30, 2004.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
For the six months ended June 30, 2005, the Company had negative cash flow from operations of $554,815. On June 30, 2005, the Company had outstanding borrowings (non-related party) of approximately $3,599,545. On June 30, 2005, the Company had total assets of approximately $12,055,312. This is a decrease from total assets of $12,143,124 on December 31, 2004.
The Company’s sources and uses of funds were as follows: (1) it used net cash of $554,815 in its operating activities in the six months ended June 30, 2005; (2) it used cash of $151,068 in investing activities in the six months ended June 30, 2005; and (3) it received $2,002,599 from financing activities in the six months ended June 30, 2005, consisting primarily of the release of restricted cash and proceeds from the line of credit. As of June 30, 2005, the Company had net working capital of $2,412,289.
The primary source of financing for the Company since its inception has been through the issuance of common stock and borrowings. The Company had cash and cash equivalents of $1,558,873 as of June 30, 2005 and $1,589,665 as of December 31, 2004. The Company is actively seeking financing alternatives for working capital, product development, marketing, and business opportunities. In this regard, on April 28, 2005, the Company entered into a Standby Equity Distribution Agreement (“SEDA”) with Cornell Capital Partners, L.P. (“Cornell”), whereby it can “put” to Cornell, for cash, up to $15 million in the Company’s common stock over a two-year period of time. The Company believes this equity financing should increase its chances of succeeding in its growth plans. The Company anticipates using the $15 million SEDA to support and fund expenditures for bids and proposals, capital equipment automation and acquisitions, as well as working capital growth. In order to make use of the SEDA, the Company must first increase its authorized capital, become listed on the Over-the-Counter Electronic Bulletin Board (“OTCBB”) and register additional shares for pubic sale. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully increase its authorized capital, become listed on the OTCBB and register additional shares for public sale. Therefore, the Company continues to explore additional equity and debt financings, vendor-financing programs, letters of credit for manufacturing, leasing arrangements for its products, and equity participation for media purchases that will advertise its products. Also, the Company believes that marketing and consumer awareness is central to generating monthly revenues. The Company believes that its products may have greater appeal to foreign consumers due to quality, performance and price.
The Company has entered into a Master Factoring Agreement with Rockland Credit Finance as an additional source of financing. A credit line of $7,500,000.00 has been established to provide additional working capital for the rapid growth the Company has experienced. The Company plans to use the additional funding for facilitization and additional equipment needed to support the increased backlog. The Company plans to pay off all other credit lines in the future with current revenue and cash on hand.

Valentec Systems, Inc.
From January 1998 through January 2005, Valentec’s business involved manufacturing armaments and providing property management services to the United States Army by maintaining the Army’s Louisiana Army Ammunition Plant and recruiting new tenants. This work involved infrastructure maintenance and evaluation of environmental considerations and physical security. However, beginning in 2003, Valentec began devoting significant time and money to realign its business to focus on more profitable business segments such as Systems Management/Systems Integration, Energetic Manufacturing and Metal Parts Manufacturing.
Valentec’s current business pursuits are categorized into 3 major segments: Systems Management/System Integration, Energetic Manufacturing, and Metal Parts Manufacturing
Systems Management/Systems Integration
120MM Mortar Weapon System with Electronic Fire Control — “KESHET”.Valentec was awarded a system contract from Soltam Systems, Inc. for the production and integration of RMS6 120mm Mortar Weapon System for the Israeli Defense Forces using U.S. Foreign Military Financing as described herein on page five. The mortar weapon system will be fitted with Electronic Fire Control System and will be integrated in to M1064A3 Mortar carrier as well as towed platform. Delivery of the Mortar System will begin in calendar year 2006.
Keshet (Hebrew for bow) 120mm self propelled mortar contains state of the art Command, Control and Communication devices and offers infantry and armor commander unique enhanced operational capabilities. Improvements in inertial navigation systems further enhance the accuracy in target and weapon location and, combined with a more sophisticated laying system, it greatly increases the accuracy of mortar ammunition delivery. The 120mm mortar system offers significant advantages in firepower, area coverage, tactical mobility, flexibility and survivability.
The program consists of Technology Transfer, Configuration Control, Procurement, Assembly, Integration and Testing of 120MM Mortar Weapon System with electronic Firing Control. A total of 82 complete integrated systems and 12 equivalent spare parts of the system will be delivered under this contract to Israeli Defense Forces for approximately $16,745,000. Valentec is in discussions for future requirements for the Israeli Defense Forces.
Valentec has placed purchase orders with two forging houses and four other prime vendors for major subcomponents and numerous purchase orders with a host of smaller vendors for the parts necessary to assemble the system. Subcomponent deliveries have been timed to provide an arrival that closely coincides with Valentec’s production schedule, yet leverages quantity and bulk buys.
Valentec is also responsible for the quality of all components and the reliability of each system. To this end, VSI has tasked their vendors with a variety of tests and procedures intended to verify and validate compliance to specifications, functionality, and reliability. These tests include First Article Tests, fire control calibration tests, and function testing.
Mortar Ammunition.Valentec was awarded a 2-year systems integration and management contract in early 2005 from Soltam Systems to assemble and deliver mortar ammunition for the Israeli Defense Forces using U.S. Foreign Military Financing as described herein on page five. The mortar ammunition will be provided in 120mm, 81mm, and 60mm rounds with a contract value of approximately $20,000,000. The 120mm and 60mm were ordered with two different explosive fillers each and the
12
81 mm was ordered in a single configuration for a total of five different rounds. Deliveries will begin in early 2006.
Mortars are used in the infantry or in a mechanized company against troops, light vehicles or similar targets or for incendiary and smoke spotting purposes. When a mortar round is loaded into the mortar firing system, it slides down the tube until a fixed firing pin at the bottom of the barrel ignites the ignition cartridge. The energy from the ignition cartridge ignites the propellant charge. Rapidly expanding gases from the burning propellant accelerates the round and launches it in its ballistic trajectory. The mortar is aerodynamically stabilized in flight by its fins. The fuse is armed after the projectile passes a minimum safe separation distance and, on impacting the ground, the fuze explodes the high explosive charge that shatters the shell body fragments, which are then propelled toward the target. Some mortars are designed to explode at a low height above the ground for maximum lethality.
Valentec has placed purchase orders with 11 prime vendors for major subcomponents and numerous purchase orders with a host of smaller vendors for the parts necessary to assemble the ammunition. Subcomponent deliveries have been timed to provide an arrival that closely coincides with Valentec’s production schedule, yet leverages quantity and bulk buys.
In addition to the procurement of necessary sub-components, Valentec is also responsible for the quality of these components and, of course, the quality and reliability of each mortar. To this end, Valentec has tasked their vendors with a variety of tests and procedures intended to verify and validate compliance to specifications, functionality, and reliability. These tests include First Article Tests, weight calibration and verification, and function testing.
In support of this major production effort, additional manufacturing space was leased and equipped with unique fixtures and tooling. As 120mm, 81mm and 60mm mortar ammunition is not unique to the IDF, the facilitization accomplished by Valentec for this program has positioned them well to compete successfully on future mortar ammunition contracts in domestic and overseas markets.
In the Systems Management/Systems Integration segment, our sources and availability of raw materials present no unique challenges with the exception of obtaining M8M propellant from BMJ of Herzegovina. This requires import licensing for materials and export licenses for delivery of the complete product to Israel. Also, part of the U.S. State Department process mandates the provision of End User certificates. All of these requirements are known and actions are in process to have the conditions totally resolved. Valentec’s primary suppliers for the Systems Management/Systems Integration projects are:
| | | | | | |
| | Ø | | BMJ Belgrade, Herzegovina | | M8M Propellant |
| | Ø | | Accurate Energetics, McCuen, TN | | Explosive Loading |
| | Ø | | Medico, Wilkes-Barre, PA | | Metal Parts |
| | Ø | | POCAL | | Metal Parts |
| | Ø | | Lockheed-Martin, Scranton, PA | | Metal Parts |
| | Ø | | Greene Tweed, Kulpsville, PA | | O-ring & Seals |
| | Ø | | Ellwood National Forge, Irvine, PA | | Forging |
| | Ø | | Rotek, Inc., Aurora, OH | | Bearings |
Energetic Manufacturing
Valentec’s energetic work aspect includes various flares and simulators with multiple end uses. The flares can be used for illumination and/or signaling. The simulators are used for training purposes
13
to simulate a battlefield environment. In the flare work, we are a member of a team that in May of 2005 was awarded a planned 5-year procurement of 40MM flares. Valentec’s part of this award is to produce 40MM, M583, White Star Parachute, flares. This opportunity has a potential value of $50 million over 5 years dependent on assigned option quantities. The option year quantities are totally dependent on the annual appropriation authorized by the U.S. Congress as supported by the user (Army, Navy, Marines) community.
There are multiple additional areas/opportunities for pursuit in the pyrotechnic arena. Valentec is actively seeking a government systems procurement solicitation for 105MM illumination product. We have successfully manufactured several test devices, which exhibit illumination significantly greater than specification requirements and burn times that are equally remarkable.
Energetic Manufacturing requires appropriate licensing by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (BATFE) before conducting any energetic operations. All known required applications have been completed and licenses issued. Additionally, a safety site application must be presented to the Defense Contract Management Agency (DCMA) for review and approval, which is complete, and in place. Valentec primary suppliers are:
| | | | | | |
| | Ø | | GOEX, Inc., Minden, LA | | Black Powder |
| | Ø | | ATK, Radford, VA | | Propellant |
| | Ø | | Flexible Concepts, Elkhart, IN | | Metal Component |
| | Ø | | Woodlawn Manufacturing, Marshall, TX | | Metal Component |
| | Ø | | B & T Screw, Bristol, CT | | Metal Component |
| | Ø | | Spaulding Composites, Rochester, NH | | Plastic Component |
Metal Parts Manufacturing
Valentec’s current U.S. government metal parts work consists of a contract for 50,000 units of 105MM, M14B4, Spiral Wrapped Cartridge Case (SWCC). This contract value is approximately $1.9 million with 100% options for each year, fiscal year 2006 and fiscal year 2007 bringing the total potential to approximately $6 million over the next 3 years. Valentec believes there may be a significant foreign interest once the success of its program is realized. Valentec has produced a large volume of these products. Valentec believes this product cost is significantly less than the more traditional drawn/forged cartridge case and exhibits more insensitive munitions (IM) value than the solid cartridge cases. The use of this design (SWCC) should provide Valentec an advantage for the upcoming 105MM Illumination round requirements for the U.S. Army.
In addition, Valentec is evaluating several other metal part manufacturing opportunities, which will be procured in 2006 by U.S. Army.
Metal parts manufacturing and more specifically the spiral wrap cartridge case has only 4 primary components, and no specialty materials. Further, there are no exceptional government approvals required. Valentec primary suppliers are:
| | | | | | |
| | Ø | | Vy-Comp, Shreveport, LA | | Metal Components |
| | Ø | | Northwest Stamping, St. Louis, MO | | Metal Components |
| | Ø | | Alta Max, New Orleans, LA | | Packaging |

Foreign Work
Valentec’s foreign business pursuits are associated with two contracting methods, “foreign military sales” and “foreign military financing.” A description of each method follows.
ØForeign Military Sales.The foreign military sales program is the government-to-government method of selling U.S. defense equipment, services, and training. The program is managed by the Defense Security Cooperation Agency within the U.S. Department of Defense. Valentec participates in the program as a known supplier to approved foreign governments through a marketing network established in the foreign countries. Department of Defense Manual 5105.38-M describes the specific details concerning the program requirements.
The U.S. Department of Defense has launched a major effort to reform the current foreign military sales system and to ensure that this valuable program remains viable into the next millennium. This reform effort will focus on improving the foreign military sales system’s performance and adopting better business practices whenever possible. Currently, Valentec does not believe these anticipated changes would adversely affect its business. The foreign military sales program manages government-to-government purchases of weapons and other defense articles, defense services, and military training. A military buying weapons through the foreign military sales program does not deal directly with the business that manufactures the weapons, but rather, the Defense Department serves as an intermediary, usually handling procurement, logistics and delivery and often providing product support and training.
ØForeign Military Financing. The foreign military financing program provides grants and loans to help foreign countries purchase U. S. produced weapons, defense equipment, defense services and military training through the foreign military sales program described above. On a much less frequent basis, foreign military financing also funds purchases made through the direct commercial sales program (described below), which oversees sales between foreign governments to private U.S. companies. Foreign military financing does not provide cash grants to other countries; it generally pays for sales of specific goods or services through foreign military or direct commercial sales.
The State Department’s Bureau of Political-Military Affairs sets policy for the foreign military financing program, while the Defense Security Cooperation Agency, within the Defense Department, manages it on a day-to-day basis. Security assistance organizations and military personnel in U.S. embassies overseas play a key role in managing foreign military financing within recipient countries. Congress appropriates funds for foreign military sales through the yearly Foreign Operations Appropriations Act.
Foreign military financing exists primarily to fund arms transfers, as military training is normally granted through the International military education and training program. However, foreign military financing does support some of the training activities.
The Contracting Process.Valentec has Marketing/Sales representation at two of its largest customer locations in the United States: (1) Picatinny Arsenal in Dover, New Jersey and (2) the Joint Munitions Command in Rock Island, Illinois. These representatives keep Valentec informed as to any new business opportunities that are on the horizon that would fit into the company’s capabilities, and therefore, allows the company to conduct proposal activities prior to the actual receipt of any solicitation or request for a proposal. Typically, these solicitations or requests are of a “Best Value” evaluation criteria, meaning that the evaluation is based on many factors (not only price) such as past performance, quality assurance plans, manufacturing approach, etc. This kind of evaluation requires extensive
15
proposal writing skills and the company often uses outside consultants who specialize in writing proposals that are responsive to all of the requirements of U.S. Government customers.
Typically, the U.S. Government allows 60 days for contractors to respond to their solicitations or requests for proposals. They, in turn, will take anywhere from 60 days or longer to conduct their evaluations and make the ultimate contract award. Most contracts are of a 12-month duration and require a First Article Test prior to the start of production. In some cases, these contracts will have out-year options; however, the Government has no obligation to exercise these options.
With regard to international sales, Valentec uses Valentec International Limited of the United Kingdom and Soltam Systems, Inc. of Israel to market its products and capabilities. Each of these business entities is controlled by directors of the Company. All Valentec Systems, Inc.’s international business has been through either Foreign Military Sales or direct sales to the foreign country. In either case, the customer must submit to Valentec an “End User Certificate” that states who the End User will be. That End User Certificate is submitted to the U. S. State Department along with an entire copy of the contract between Valentec and its foreign customer. For example, if Valentec has a contract with Soltam Systems, Inc. to supply both weapon systems and ammunition for mortars, and Soltam Systems, Inc. in turn, has a contract with the Israeli Defense Forces for the same product, then the Israeli Defense Forces would be the End User. Because funds for this procurement would likely involve U.S. military grant dollars to Israel, the products would have to be manufactured in the United States. Valentec would ultimately ship these products by sea to the required location. Or, if Valentec had a contract with Valentec International Limited, UK, to supply 40mm illuminating rounds of ammunition to Saudi Arabia through a direct sale; i.e., no foreign military funds, the requirements for End User Certificate would still apply before the U. S. State Department would approve the sale. The end product would be produced by Valentec Systems, Inc. and shipped directly to the foreign customer.
Any and all foreign sales require End User Certificates and the U. S. State Department’s approval.
Customers
Soltam Systems, Inc.
Valentec has received an order from Soltam Systems, Inc. (“Soltam”) for the production and integration of the Keshet RMS6 120mm Mortar Weapon System for the Israeli Defense Forces. The mortar weapon system will be fitted with an Electronic Fire Control System and will be integrated in to M1064A3 Mortar carriers as well as towed platforms. Delivery of the Mortar System will begin in calendar year 2006.
The Keshet 120mm self propelled mortar contains state of the art command, control and communication devices and offers infantry and armor commanders unique enhanced operational capabilities. Improvements in inertial navigation systems further enhance the accuracy in target and weapon location and, combined with a more sophisticated laying system, it greatly increases the accuracy of mortar ammunition delivery. The 120mm mortar system offers significant advantages in firepower, area coverage, tactical mobility, flexibility and survivability.
The Keshet 120mm mortar is a Soltam design. The mortar weapon system will be produced at Valentec’s manufacturing facility in Minden, Louisiana. Valentec expects to complete this order in December 2006.
The program consists of technology transfer, configuration control, procurement, assembly, integration and testing of a 120MM Mortar Weapon System with electronic Firing Control. It is
16
anticipated that, a total of 82 complete integrated systems and 12 equivalent spare parts of the system will be delivered under this contract to Soltam Systems, Inc. which in turn will deliver them to the End User, the Israeli Defense Forces.
In addition, Valentec was awarded a 2-year systems integration and management contract in early 2005 from Soltam Systems, Inc. to assemble and deliver mortar ammunition to Soltam Systems, Inc. for delivery to the Israeli Defense Forces. The mortar ammunition will be provided in 120mm, 81mm, and 60mm rounds. The 120mm and 60mm were ordered with two different explosive fillers each and the 81mm was ordered in a single configuration for a total of five different rounds. Valentec anticipates that deliveries will begin in late 2005 and be completed in December 2006.
DSE, Inc.
DSE, Inc., located in Tampa Florida is a significant contractor for procurement of 40mm products. DSE, Inc. has ordered 59,708 40mm, M583 products from Valentec. Valentec expects to complete the initial purchase order in May 2006. DSE, Inc. has been awarded U.S. Government Contract #W52P1J-05-O-0036. This contract pertains to the 40MM family of munitions and is projected to cover the next five years. Valentec has been named as the sub-contractor to produce the Illumination Rounds found in this contract. In the Solicitation, the U.S. Government estimated the annual requirement for Illumination Rounds would be 200,000 to 300,000 rounds per year. This would indicate substantial sales for Valentec dependent upon which option quantity the U.S. Government decides to procure.
Kingdom of Saudi Arabia
Valentec is currently fulfilling a contract received on assignment from Valentec International, Limited, UK, to provide 4,000 M583A1 40mm illuminating parachutes and 2,000 M585 40mm illuminating munitions for the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. We anticipate completion of this purchase order in the first quarter of 2006.
U.S. Government
