NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES BASIS OF PRESENTATION Paradigm Holdings, Inc. (the "Company") is the parent of three wholly-owned subsidiaries that include Paradigm Solutions Corp. ("PSC"), Paradigm Solutions International ("PSI") and Blair Management Services ("Blair") t/d/b/a Blair Technology Group. Reference is made to the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the Company for the year ended December 31, 2005 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") for additional information on the corporate structure. The interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. Therefore, certain financial information and footnote disclosures accompanying annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") are omitted in this interim report pursuant to the SEC rules and regulations. The interim consolidated financial statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the Company for the year ended December 31, 2005. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements for the Company reflect all normal recurring adjustments that are necessary, in the opinion of management, to present fairly the results of operations in accordance with GAAP. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. For a description of the Company's accounting policies, refer to Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the Company for the year ended December 31, 2005. Certain reclassifications have been made to the consolidated financial statements for the prior period presented to conform to the current period presentation. On September 26, 2006, the Company announced its plan to consider strategic alternatives, including divestiture, regarding its Commercial business. The Company defines the Commercial business as the operations and associated assets related to both its OpsPlanner software solutions and the Blair entity. The Commercial business is equal to the PSI and Blair subsidiaries. The Company did not classify the Commercial business as discontinued operations as of September 30, 2006 since the Company did not meet the requirements of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets." The Company is actively marketing the Commercial business and the Commercial business is available for immediate sale in its present condition. Management believes the sale of the Commercial business will be completed within one year of the announcement date. REVENUE RECOGNITION The Company generated substantially all of its revenue from long-term contracts including time and materials, fixed price and cost-type contracts. Revenue from time and materials contracts is recognized as costs are incurred at amounts represented by the agreed-upon billing amounts. Fixed price labor hour and level of effort contracts involve defined numbers of hours or categories of personnel. Revenue on fixed unit price contracts, where specific units of output under service agreements are delivered, is recognized as units are delivered based on the specific price per unit. Fixed price maintenance contracts are recognized as revenue on a pro-rata basis over the life of the contract. In certain arrangements, the Company enters into contracts that include the delivery of a combination of two or more of its service offerings. Such contracts are divided into separate units of accounting and revenue is recognized separately, and in accordance with, the Company's revenue recognition policy for each element. Revenue from cost-type contracts is recognized as costs are incurred on the basis of direct costs plus allowable operating costs and expenses and an allocable portion of the fixed fee. Software revenue recognition is in accordance with AICPA Statement of Position 97-2, "Software Revenue Recognition." Since the Company has not established vendor specific objective evidence of fair value, recognition of revenue from the sale of licenses is over the term of the contract. 8 The Company is subject to audits from federal government agencies. The Company has reviewed its contracts and determined there is no material risk of financial adjustments due to government audit. To date, no such audits have been conducted. Revenue recognized on contracts for which billings have not yet been presented to customers is included in the accounts receivable - contracts classification on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Deferred revenue relates to contracts for which customers pay in advance for services to be performed at a future date. The Company recognizes deferred revenue attributable to our maintenance contracts over the related service periods, which run through 2011. Revenue related to our OpsPlanner offering, including consulting, software subscriptions and technical support, is deferred and recognized over the appropriate contract service period. These payments are nonrefundable. MAJOR CUSTOMERS During the three months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, the Company's revenues generated from five major customers, totaled 83% and 81% of total revenue, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, the Company's revenues generated from five major customers, totaled 80% and 81% of total revenue, respectively. The Company's accounts receivable related to these five major customers were 90% and 80% of total accounts receivable at September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006, the Internal Revenue Service, Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, Office of Community Planning and Development and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency each comprised greater than 10% of the Company's revenues. The Company defines major customer by agency within the federal government. GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS The Company's acquisition of Blair resulted in the recording of intangible assets and goodwill. Pursuant to SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets", identifiable intangible assets associated with non-compete agreements and customer relationships will be amortized over their economic lives of one and ten years, respectively. Goodwill is subject to impairment to the extent the Company's operations experience significant negative results. These negative results can be the result of the Company's individual operations or negative trends in the Company's industry or in the general economy, which impact the Company. To the extent the Company's goodwill is determined to be impaired then these balances are written down to their estimated fair value on the date of the impairment. IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS Pursuant to SFAS No. 144,"Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets", the Company periodically evaluates the recoverability of its long-lived assets. This evaluation consists of a comparison of the carrying value of the assets with the assets' expected future cash flows, undiscounted and without interest costs. Estimates of expected future cash flows represent management's best estimate based on reasonable and supportable assumptions and projections. If the expected future cash flow, undiscounted and without interest charges, exceeds the carrying value of the asset, no impairment is recognized. Impairment losses are measured as the difference between the carrying value of long-lived assets and their fair market value, based on discounted future cash flows of the related assets. Management believes circumstances or conditions have arisen that would indicate impairment of the goodwill at September 30, 2006. During the quarter ended September 30, 2006, the Company conducted its annual impairment review of long-lived assets and as a result of this review, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $1,901,145 against the goodwill recorded from the acquisition of Blair in October 2005. The impairment is the result of slower than expected revenue growth and operating losses within the Company's Commercial business that have continued to occur through the period ended September 30, 2006. 9 CAPITALIZED SOFTWARE COSTS The Company has capitalized costs related to the development of a certain software product. SFAS No. 86, "Accounting for the Cost of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased or Otherwise Marketed", requires the capitalization of certain software development costs when technological feasibility has been established, which the Company generally defines as completion of a working model. Capitalization ceases when the products are available for general release to customers, at which time amortization of the capitalized costs begins on a straight-line basis over the estimated product life, or on the ratio of current revenues to total projected product revenues, whichever is greater. This product has an estimated economic life of two years based on anticipated sales and the Company's experience with previously released versions. Due to inherent technological changes in software development, however, the period over which such capitalized costs will be amortized may be modified. As of December 31, 2005, the Company had not established technological feasibility for this software product, and therefore, no costs had been capitalized. Technological feasibility was established on January 3, 2006 upon the completion of a working model and the Company capitalized software development costs of $146,255 during the quarter ended March 31, 2006. The Company capitalized compensation and consulting expenses related to the development and testing of the software. Capitalization of such costs ceased on March 20, 2006 when the software product was available for general release. Capitalized software costs at September 30, 2006 were $146,255 with accumulated amortization of $36,564. The capitalized software cost has no residual value at the end of its useful life. Amortization expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 was $18,282 and $36,564, respectively. Prior to January 1, 2006, all costs incurred related to the development of this software product were expensed. All other research and development costs are expensed as incurred. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, the Company's research and development expenses totaled $114,309 and $234,315 and $284,545 and $565,229, respectively. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION On January 1, 2006, the Company adopted SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), "Share-Based Payment", which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all share-based payment awards made to employees and directors including employee stock options based on estimated fair values. SFAS No. 123 (revised) supersedes the Company's previous accounting under Accounting Principles Board ("APB") Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" for periods beginning in 2006. In March 2005, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") No. 107 relating to SFAS No. 123 (revised). The Company has applied provisions of SAB No. 107 in its adoption of SFAS No. 123 (revised). The Company has adopted SFAS No. 123 (revised) using the modified prospective transition method, which requires the application of the accounting standard as of January 1, 2006, the first day of the Company's fiscal year 2006. The Company's Consolidated Financial Statements as of and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 reflect the impact of SFAS No. 123 (revised). In accordance with the modified prospective transition method, the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 have not been restated to reflect, and do not include, the impact of SFAS No. 123 (revised). SFAS No. 123 (revised) requires companies to estimate the fair value of share-based payment awards on the grant-date using an option-pricing model. Prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 123 (revised), the Company accounted for share-based awards to employees and directors using the intrinsic value method in accordance with APB No. 25 as allowed under SFAS No. 123 "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation." Effective May 15, 2006, the Company granted options to acquire 500,000 shares of common stock to one of its officers pursuant to an offer of employment. One-third of the options will vest on each anniversary of the grant date. The options have an exercise price equal to $2.50 per share, and expire on May 14, 2016. The options are not intended to be incentive stock options under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended and will be interpreted accordingly. Effective September 1, 2006, the Company issued 97,221 shares of common stock to two employees as part of their employment agreements. These shares vested immediately. The Company did not grant any share-based awards to employees, officers and directors for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005. 10 In accordance with SFAS No. 123 (revised), the Company recognizes share-based compensation expense over the requisite service period for: (i) compensation expense for share-based payment awards granted prior, but not yet vested as of December 31, 2005, based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the pro forma provisions of SFAS 123 and (ii) compensation expense for the share-based payment awards granted subsequent to December 31, 2005, based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 123 (revised). The Company recognized $70,194 and $88,250 as share-based compensation expense for the options granted on May 15, 2006 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006, respectively. The Company recognized $135,137 as share-based compensation expense for the common stock issued on September 1, 2006. There was no share-based compensation expense related to employee stock options recognized during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005. Upon adoption of SFAS No. 123 (revised), the Company continues to use the Black-Scholes option pricing models for share-based awards, as was utilized previously and required under SFAS No. 123. Under SFAS No. 123 (revised), all tax benefits of deductions resulting from the exercise of stock options in excess of compensation costs recognized from those options (excess tax benefits) are to be classified as financing cash flows within the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006, no vested stock options held by employees or directors were exercised. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS In February 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 155, "Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments," an amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140. SFAS No. 155 will be effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of 2007. The statement permits interests in hybrid financial instruments that contain an embedded derivative that would otherwise require bifurcation, to be accounted for as a single financial instrument at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized in earnings. This election is permitted on an instrument-by-instrument basis for all hybrid financial instruments held, obtained, or issued as of the adoption date. The adoption of SFAS No. 155 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's statements of operations, financial position, or cash flows. In March 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 156, "Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets", which requires all separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities to be measured initially at fair value and permits, but does not require, an entity to subsequently measure those servicing assets or liabilities at fair value. SFAS No. 156 is effective at the beginning of the first fiscal year after September 15, 2006. All requirements for recognition and initial measurement of servicing assets and servicing liabilities will be applied prospectively to all transactions occurring after the adoption of this statement. The Company will adopt SFAS No. 156 on January 1, 2007. The adoption of SFAS No. 156 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's statements of operations, financial position, or cash flows. In June 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - an interpretation of FASB No. 109" (FIN No. 48). FIN No. 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The Company will adopt FIN No. 48 on January 1, 2007. The adoption of FIN No. 48 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's statements of operations, financial position, or cash flows. In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements", which defines fair value, establishes a framework for a measuring fair value in GAAP, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The Company will adopt SFAS No. 157 on January 1, 2008. The adoption of SFAS No. 157 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's statements of operations, financial position, or cash flows. In September 2006, the SEC issued SAB No. 108 regarding the quantification of financial statement misstatements. SAB No. 108 requires a "dual approach" for quantifications of errors using both a method that focuses on the income statement impact, including the cumulative effect of prior years' misstatements, and a method that focuses on the period-end balance sheet. SAB No. 108 will be effective for the Company on January 1, 2007. The adoption of SAB No. 108 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's statements of operations, financial position, or cash flows. 11 2. ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE The accounts receivable consist of billed and unbilled amounts under contracts in progress with governmental units, principally the Office of Community Planning and Development, Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, the U.S. Secret Service, and the Internal Revenue Service, as well as commercial businesses. The components of accounts receivable at September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005 are: Sept. 30, 2006 Dec. 31, 2005 -------------- ------------- Billed receivables $ 4,428,850 $ 7,466,935 Unbilled receivables 9,953,469 8,174,489 -------------- ------------- Total $ 14,382,319 $ 15,641,424 ============== ============= All receivables are expected to be collected during the next twelve months and are pledged to the bank as collateral for the line of credit. The Company's unbilled receivables are comprised of contract costs that cover the current service period, which are normally billed in the following month, and contracts performed on a fixed-price milestone basis, which will be billed within one year. The Company's billed receivables at September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005 contained retainage of approximately $10,000. 3. PREPAID EXPENSES Prepaid expenses at September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, consist of the following: Sept. 30, 2006 Dec. 31, 2005 -------------- ------------- Prepaid insurance, rent and software maintenance agreements $ 225,930 $ 163,068 Prepaid corporate income taxes 616,442 20,120 Employee advances and prepaid travel 5,921 41,444 Contract-related prepaid expenses 9,238 299,132 Other prepaid expenses 177,158 98,830 -------------- ------------- Total prepaid expenses $ 1,034,689 $ 622,594 ============== ============= 4. INTANGIBLE ASSETS Intangible assets consisted of the following at September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005: September 30, 2006 December 31, 2005 -------------------------- -------------------------- Accumulated Accumulated Cost Amortization Cost Amortization -------- -------- -------- -------- Non-compete agreements $ 97,903 $ 93,823 $ 97,903 $ 20,396 Customer relationships 260,771 24,991 350,382 7,300 -------- -------- -------- -------- Total $358,674 $118,814 $448,285 $ 27,696 ======== ======== ======== ======== The intangible assets have no residual value at the end of their useful lives. Amortization expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 was $21,928 and $118,814, respectively. There was no amortization for the corresponding periods in 2005. 5. NOTE PAYABLE - LINE OF CREDIT On July 28, 2005, the Company entered into a two year Loan and Security Agreement with Chevy Chase Bank that provides for a revolving line of credit facility of up to $9 million. The Loan and Security Agreement became effective August 4, 2005. The revolving line of credit will be used to borrow revolving loans for working capital and general corporate purposes. 12 The revolving loans under the Chevy Chase Bank Loan and Security Agreement are collateralized by a first priority lien on substantially all of the assets of the Company, excluding intellectual property. Under the Loan and Security Agreement, the line of credit is due on demand and interest is payable monthly depending on the Company's leverage ratio at the LIBOR rate plus the applicable spread which ranges from 2.25% to 3.00%. Of the total borrowings, the Company may use up to $500,000 for letters of credit. As of September 30, 2006, the Company had set aside $400,000 in total letters of credit. The Loan and Security Agreement requires that the Company maintains certain covenants and ratios, which are calculated quarterly. On March 30, 2006, the Company amended the Loan and Security Agreement with Chevy Chase Bank to modify the tangible net worth, debt service coverage ratio and maximum leverage ratio covenants as follows: (1) minimum tangible net worth of not less than $1,800,000 for December 31, 2005 and March 31, 2006, which was increased to $2,000,000 by June 30, 2006 and increased again by 50% of the Company's net income for each fiscal year end beginning with December 31, 2006; (2) minimum debt service coverage ratio as of December 31, 2005 of not less than 1.150 to 1.000, which was increased to 1.500 to 1.000 by September 30, 2006; (3) maximum leverage ratio of 9.100 to 1.000 for December 31, 2005, which was decreased to 7.500 to 1.000 by March 31, 2006, 5.500 to 1.000 by June 30, 2006, 5.250 to 1.000 by September 30, 2006 and 4.000 to 1.000 by December 31, 2006. Because the Company was not in compliance with the maximum leverage ratio covenant for the period ending March 31, 2006, the Company amended the Loan and Security Agreement with Chevy Chase Bank to modify the maximum leverage ratio for March 31, 2006 to 9.100 to 1.000, for June 30, 2006 to 6.500 to 1.000 and for December 31, 2006 to 4.500 to 1.000. On August 11, 2006, Chevy Chase Bank waived the covenant and ratio requirements for the quarter ended June 30, 2006. On November 14, 2006, Chevy Chase Bank waived the covenant and ratio requirements for the quarter ending September 30, 2006. 6. NET INCOME PER COMMON SHARE Net income per common share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the reported period. Diluted net income per common share assumes the issuance of common shares pursuant to stock-based compensation plans at the beginning of the applicable period. The following table reflects the computation of the Company's basic and diluted net income per common share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005. Net Per Share Income Shares Amount ----------- ---------- ----- Basic net loss per common share for the three months ended September 30, 2006: Loss available to common stockholders $(2,956,558) 20,535,893 $(0.14) Effect of dilutive stock options -- -- -- ----------- ---------- ------ Diluted net loss per common share for the three months ended September 30, 2006: $(2,956,558) 20,535,893 $(0.14) =========== ========== ====== Basic net income per common share for the three months ended September 30, 2005: Income available to common stockholders $ 247,387 20,003,368 $ 0.01 Effect of dilutive stock options -- -- -- ----------- ---------- ------ Diluted net income per common share for the three months ended September 30, 2005: $ 247,387 20,003,368 $ 0.01 =========== ========== ====== Basic net loss per common share for the nine months ended September 30, 2006: Loss available to common stockholders $(2,736,584) 20,514,288 $(0.13) Effect of dilutive stock options -- -- -- ----------- ---------- ------ Diluted net loss per common share for the nine months ended September 30, 2006: $(2,736,584) 20,514,288 $(0.13) =========== ========== ====== Basic net income per common share for the nine months ended September 30, 2005: Income available to common stockholders $ 703,505 20,003,368 $ 0.04 Effect of dilutive stock options -- -- -- ----------- ---------- ------ Diluted net income per common share for the nine months ended September 30, 2005: $ 703,505 20,003,368 $ 0.04 =========== ========== ====== 13 The Company incurred net losses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006. Therefore, all common shares issuable pursuant to stock-based compensation plans were not considered in the diluted loss per share calculations due to the anti-dilutive effect of such shares. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006, the Company had total weighted average stock options of 117,815 shares and 124,084 shares, respectively, that were not included in the calculation of diluted net loss per common share as their effect would be anti-dilutive. 7. STOCK OPTIONS The Company periodically provides compensation in the form of common stock to certain employees and Company's directors. Effective May 15, 2006, the Company granted options to acquire 500,000 shares of common stock to one of the officers of the Company. One-third of the options will vest on each anniversary of the grant date for the next three years. The options have an exercise price equal to $2.50 per share and expire on May 14, 2016. The options are not intended to be incentive stock options under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended and will be interpreted accordingly. The Company did not grant any share-based awards to employees, officers and directors for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005. Effective September 1, 2006, the Company issued 97,221 shares of common stock to two employees in accordance with their employment agreements. The fair value of the options granted on May 15, 2006 and the common stock shares issued on September 1, 2006 was estimated on the date of the issuance using the Black-Scholes options-pricing model, with the following assumptions: Options Stock ------- ----- Dividend yield None None Risk-free interest rate 5.16% 5.16% Expected volatility 53.6% 53.6% Expected term of common stock 6 years N/A Forfeiture rate Zero Zero Dividend Yield - The Company has never declared or paid dividends on its common stock and has no plans to do so in the foreseeable future. Risk-Free Interest Rate - Risk-free interest rate is based on U.S. Treasury zero-coupon issues with a remaining term approximating the expected life of the option term assumed at the date of grant. Expected Volatility - Volatility is a measure of the amount by which a financial variable such as a share price has fluctuated (historical volatility) or is expected to fluctuate (expected volatility) during a period. The expected volatility is based on a combination of the historical volatility of the Company's stock for the prior year and supported by volatilities of similar entities. Expected Term of the Options and Common Stock - This is the period of time that the options granted are expected to remain unexercised. The Company estimates the expected life of the option term based on an estimated average life of the options granted. Based on a lack of historical information, the Company estimated the expected life would be six years for options granted in May 2006 using the safe harbor criteria of SEC SAB No. 107. Since the common stock was granted with no vesting period and was immediately issued at the grant date, the expected term is not applicable to this grant of common stock. Forfeiture Rate - This is the estimated percentage of options granted that are expected to be forfeited or canceled on an annual basis before becoming fully vested. The Company uses a forfeiture rate that is a blend of past turnover data and a projection of expected results over the following twelve month period based on projected levels of operations and headcount levels at various classification levels with the Company. A forfeiture rate of zero was used for the options granted in May 2006 as they related to one officer and was used for the common stock issued in September 2006 as the common stock was issued immediately upon grant. The fair value of the options granted on May 15, 2006 was approximately $705,000, which was included as part of additional paid-in capital. The fair value of the common stock issued on September 1, 2006 was approximately $135,137, which was expensed during the quarter ended September 30, 2006 and was included as part of additional paid-in capital. 14 The following table summarized information regarding the 2006 options activity. Weighted Average Number of Options Exercise Price ------------------ ---------------- Outstanding, beginning of year 2,122,000 $ 1.70 Granted 500,000 2.50 Exercised -- -- Expired -- -- Cancelled (302,000) 1.70 Outstanding, September 30, 2006 2,320,000 $ 1.87 ---------- -------- Exercisable, September 30, 2006 1,820,000 $ 1.70 ========== ======== As of September 30, 2006, the 500,000 options granted on May 15, 2006 are the only non vested options. The following summarizes the stock options outstanding and exercisable at September 30, 2006. Options Outstanding Options Exercisable Weighted Weighted Average Weighted Average Remaining Average Options Exercise Contractual Options Exercise Exercise Price Outstanding Price Life Exercisable Price ---------------------------------------------------------------- $1.70 1,820,000 $ 1.70 9 years 1,820,000 $ 1.70 $2.50 500,000 $ 2.50 9.50 years -- -- ============ ========= =========== =========== ======== The intrinsic value of the options outstanding is zero based on the September 29 closing stock price of $1.30. 8. CONTRACT STATUS PROVISIONAL INDIRECT COST RATES Billings under cost-type government contracts are calculated using provisional rates which permit recovery of indirect costs. These rates are subject to audit on an annual basis by the government agencies' cognizant audit agency. The cost audits will result in the negotiation and determination of the final indirect cost rates which the Company may use for the period(s) audited. The final rates, if different from the provisionals, may create an additional receivable or liability. As of September 30, 2006, the Company has had no final settlements on indirect rates. The Company periodically reviews its cost estimates and experience rates and adjustments, if needed, are made and reflected in the period in which the estimates are revised. In the opinion of management, redetermination of any cost-based contracts for the open years will not have any material effect on the Company's financial position or results of operations. The Company has authorized but uncompleted contracts on which work is in progress at September 30, 2006 approximately, as follows: Total contract prices of initial contract awards, including exercised options and approved change orders (modifications) $ 238,204,415 Completed to date 211,232,625 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Authorized backlog $ 26,971,790 ============= The foregoing contracts contain unfunded and unexercised options not reflected in the above amounts of approximately $51,758,000. 9. PROVISION FOR CONTRACT LOSS Based on an updated and revised estimate at completion ("EAC"), the Company estimates that its firm fixed price software development contract is expected to perform at an operating loss for the remainder of the contract term. The Company has recorded the expected future operating loss of approximately $963 thousand during the quarter ended September 30, 2006. The Company will update its EAC on a monthly basis and record changes to the EAC during the period they become known. 15 10. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS On November 1, 2006, the Company issued an additional 97,222 shares of common stock to the employees disclosed in the Stock-Based Compensation section of Note 1 as part of their employment agreements. The fair value of the common shares issued on November 1, 2006 will be estimated based on the date of issuance using the Black-Scholes options-pricing model. 16 PARADIGM HOLDINGS, INC.

ITEM 2: MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS OVERVIEW Paradigm Holdings, Inc. (the "Company" or "Paradigm") provides information technology and business continuity solutions to government and commercial customers. Headquartered in Rockville, Maryland, the Company was founded on the philosophy of high standards of performance, honesty, integrity, customer satisfaction, and employee morale. With an established core foundation of experienced executives, the Company has rapidly grown from six employees in 1996 to the current level of approximately 300 personnel. Revenues have grown from $51 million in 2003 to over $63 million by the end of 2005. Paradigm operates through two subsidiary companies: 1) Paradigm Solutions Corporation ("PSC"), which was incorporated in 1996 to deliver information technology (IT) services to federal agencies, and 2) Paradigm Solutions International ("PSI"), which was incorporated in 2004 to deliver IT solutions (with a special focus in Business Continuity Planning and Emergency Management) and software to commercial clients. On October 14, 2005, PSI acquired Blair Management Services, Inc. t/d/b/a Blair Technology Group ("Blair). On September 26, 2006, the Company announced its plan to consider strategic alternatives, including divestiture, regarding its Commercial business. The Company defines the Commercial business as the operations and associated assets related to both its OpsPlanner software solutions and the Blair entity. The Commercial business is equal to the PSI and Blair subsidiaries. The Company did not classify the Commercial business as discontinued operations at September 30, 2006 since the Company did not meet one of the necessary criteria listed in paragraph 30 of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets." The Company is actively marketing the Commercial business and the Commercial business is available for immediate sale in its present condition. Management believes the sale of the Commercial business will be completed within one year of the announcement date. The Company derives substantially all of its revenues from fees for information technology solutions and services. The Company generates these fees from contracts with various payment arrangements, including time and materials contracts, fixed-price contracts and cost-type contracts. The Company typically issues invoices monthly to manage outstanding accounts receivable balances. The Company recognizes revenues on time and materials contracts as the services are provided. For the quarter ended September 30, 2006, Paradigm revenue was comprised of 58.3% fixed price, 23.6% time and material, and 18.1% cost-type contracts. Paradigm's historical revenue growth is attributable to various factors, including an increase in the size and number of projects for existing and new clients. For the quarter ended September 30, 2006, contracts with the federal government and contracts with prime contractors of the federal government accounted for approximately 92% of the Company's revenues. During that same period, the Company's five largest clients, all agencies within the federal government, generated approximately 83% of the Company's revenues. In most of these engagements, the Company retains full responsibility for the end-client relationship and direct and manage the activities of the Company's contract staff. 17 PSC utilized the Small Business Administration ("SBA") 8(a) Business Development ("BD") Program to access the federal marketplace starting in October of 1995 and graduated from the program in October of 2004. The term "graduate" is used to refer to a Participant's exit from the 8(a) BD Program at the expiration of the participant's term, thus the business is no longer considered 8(a). This program, allowed PSC to build a base of business with various federal civilian agencies. The backlog of federal business under this program will continue until the contracts end, after which the Company will pursue several avenues to maintain the business it believes is important to its strategy in this marketplace. This includes either migrating this work to other government contract vehicles, if allowed by the customer, or taking on a subcontract role when the business comes up for re-compete and teaming with a SBA business who would be the prime. As of September 30, 2006, 100% of the Company's remaining SBA 8(a) contracts are scheduled for re-compete in 2007. Due to graduation from the SBA 8(a) BD Program, Paradigm is no longer classified as a small disadvantaged business by the federal government. Accordingly, the Company no longer has access to contract vehicles set aside for 8(a) businesses, unless as a subcontractor to a non-graduated 8(a) company. As of October 2004, PSC began competing solely in the open marketplace for federal business. The Company has a history of winning contracts in "full and open" competitions, including contracts at the Department of Housing and Urban Development, Department of Treasury and the Department of Commerce. PSC will continue to aggressively pursue opportunities in the federal and commercial marketplace. Paradigm believes it can mitigate the impact of transitioning from the 8(a) program through the acquisition of new contract vehicles and the expansion of work with current customers. The Company's most significant expense is direct costs, which consist primarily of direct labor, subcontractors, materials, equipment, travel and an allocation of indirect costs including fringe. The number of subcontract and consulting employees assigned to a project will vary according to the size, complexity, duration and demands of the project. Selling, general and administrative expenses consist primarily of costs associated with executive management, finance and administrative groups, human resources, marketing and business development resources, employee training, occupancy costs, research and development expenses, depreciation and amortization, travel, and all other corporate costs. Other income and expense consists primarily of interest income earned on cash and cash equivalents and interest payable on the Company's revolving credit facility. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations discusses the consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates including those related to contingent liabilities, revenue recognition, and other intangible assets. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable at the time the estimates are made. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. The following critical accounting policies require management's judgment and estimation, where such estimates have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements: o accounting for revenue recognition o accounting for cost of revenue o accounting for property and equipment o accounting for impairment of long-lived assets o accounting for goodwill and intangible assets o accounting for software development costs o accounting for stock-based compensation o accounting for deferred income taxes For a description of these critical accounting policies, refer to Management's Discussion section within the Annual Report on Form 10-K for Paradigm Holdings, Inc. for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005, and Management's Discussion contained herein. 18 CAPITALIZED SOFTWARE COSTS The Company has capitalized costs related to the development of a certain software product, which provides users with a complete business resiliency tool that incorporates assessment, planning, recovery and notification. Statement of Financial Accounting Standards, ("SFAS") No. 86, "Accounting for the Cost of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased or Otherwise Marketed", requires the capitalization of certain software development costs when technological feasibility has been established, which the Company generally defines as completion of a working model. Capitalization ceases when the products are available for general release to customers, at which time amortization of the capitalized costs begins on a straight-line basis over the estimated product life, or on the ratio of current revenues to total projected product revenues, whichever is greater. This product has an estimated economic life of two years based on anticipated sales. Due to inherent technological changes in software development, however, the period over which such capitalized costs will be amortized may be modified. As of December 31, 2005, the Company had not established technological feasibility for this software product, and therefore, no costs had been capitalized. Technological feasibility was established on January 3, 2006 upon the completion of a working model and the Company capitalized software development costs of $146,255 during the quarter ended March 31, 2006. The Company capitalized compensation and consulting expenses related to the development and testing of the software. Capitalization of such costs ceased on March 20, 2006 when the software product was available for general release. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), "Share-Based Payment", which replaces SFAS No. 123, and supersedes Accounting Principles Board ("APB") Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" and SFAS No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation-Transition and Disclosure." Under SFAS No. 123 (revised), the Company measures and records compensation expense for both its stock options and performance share awards based on their fair value at the date of grant. Prior to January 1, 2006, the Company had accounted for its share-based awards in accordance with SFAS No. 123, as amended, which permitted the Company to apply APB Opinion No. 25 and related interpretations in accounting for its stock-based compensation plans. In accordance with APB Opinion No. 25, the Company did not record in its financial statements compensation expense related to its stock option grants. As permitted by SFAS No. 123 (revised), the Company used the modified prospective method of adopting the new accounting standard; accordingly, financial results for the prior period presented have not been retroactively adjusted to reflect the effects of SFAS No. 123 (revised). Effective May 15, 2006, the Company granted options to acquire 500,000 shares of common stock to one of its officers. One-third of the options will vest on each anniversary of the grant date. The options have an exercise price equal to $2.50 per share, and expire on May 14, 2016. The options are not intended to be incentive stock options under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended and will be interpreted accordingly. Effective September 1, 2006, the Company issued 97,221 shares of common stock to two employees as part of their employment agreements. The Company did not grant any share-based awards to employees, officers and directors for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005. In accordance with SFAS No. 123 (revised), the Company recognizes share-based compensation expense over the requisite service period for: (i) compensation expense for share-based payment awards granted prior to, but not yet vested as of December 31, 2005, based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the pro forma provisions of SFAS 123 and (ii) compensation expense for the share-based payment awards granted subsequent to December 31, 2005, based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 123 (revised). The Company recognized $70,194 and $88,250 as share-based compensation expense for the options granted on May 15, 2006 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006. The Company recognized $135,137 share-based compensation expense for the common stock issued on September 1, 2006. There was no share-based compensation expense related to employee stock options recognized during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005. Upon adoption of SFAS No. 123 (revised), the Company continues to use the Black-Scholes option pricing models for share-based awards, as was utilized previously and required under SFAS No. 123. Refer to Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for a further discussion of the Company's share-based awards. 19 RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING STANDARD NO. 155 ACCOUNTING FOR CERTAIN HYBRID FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS In February 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 155, "Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments," an amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140. SFAS No. 155 will be effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of 2007. SCOPE OF THIS STATEMENT The statement permits interests in hybrid financial instruments that contain an embedded derivative that would otherwise require bifurcation, to be accounted for as a single financial instrument at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized in earnings. This election is permitted on an instrument-by-instrument basis for all hybrid financial instruments held, obtained, or issued as of the adoption date. The adoption of SFAS No. 155 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's statements of operations, financial position, or cash flows. STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING STANDARD NO. 156 ACCOUNTING FOR SERVICING OF FINANCIAL ASSETS In March 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 156, "Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets". SCOPE OF THIS STATEMENT The statement requires all separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities to be measured initially at fair value and permits, but does not require, an entity to subsequently measure those servicing assets or liabilities at fair value. SFAS No. 156 is effective at the beginning of the first fiscal year after September 15, 2006. All requirements for recognition and initial measurement of servicing assets and servicing liabilities will be applied prospectively to all transactions occurring after the adoption of this statement. The Company will adopt SFAS No. 156 on January 1, 2007. The adoption of SFAS No. 156 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's statements of operations, financial position or cash flows. FASB INTERPRETATION NO. 48 ACCOUNTING FOR UNCERTAINTY IN INCOME TAXES In June 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes" (FIN No. 48). FIN No. 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise's financial statements in accordance with SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes." SCOPE OF THIS STATEMENT The Company will adopt FIN No. 48 on January 1, 2007. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that adoption of this interpretation will have on the Company's consolidated financial position and results of operations. STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING STANDARD NO. 157 FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements." SCOPE OF THIS STATEMENT The statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for a measuring fair value in GAAP, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The Company will adopt SFAS No. 157 on January 1, 2008. The adoption of SFAS No. 157 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's statements of operations, financial position or cash flows. 20 STAFF ACCOUNTING BULLETIN NO. 108 In September 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108 (SAB No. 108) regarding the quantification of financial statement misstatements. SCOPE OF THIS STATEMENT SAB No. 108 requires a "dual approach" for quantifications of errors using both a method that focuses on the income statement impact, including the cumulative effect of prior years' misstatements, and a method that focuses on the period-end balance sheet. SAB No. 108 will be effective for the Company on January 1, 2007. The adoption of SAB No. 108 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's statements of operations, financial position, or cash flows. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with Paradigm's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and with Paradigm's Consolidated Financial Statements and the information under the heading "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations," which are included in Paradigm's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005. The following table sets forth certain items from our consolidated statements of operations for the periods indicated.

Because a significant portion of total expenses, such as personnel and facilities costs, are fixed in the short term, successful contract performance and variation in the volume of activity as well as in the number of contracts commenced or completed during any quarter may cause significant variations in operating results from quarter to quarter. 21 The Federal Government's fiscal year ends September 30. If a budget for the next fiscal year has not been approved by that date, the Company's clients may have to suspend engagements that are in progress until a budget has been approved. Such suspensions may cause the Company to realize lower revenues in the fourth quarter of the year. Further, a change in presidential administrations and in senior government officials may negatively affect the rate at which the Federal Government purchases technology. As a result of the factors above, period-to-period comparisons of Paradigm's revenues and operating results may not be meaningful. You should not rely on these comparisons as indicators of future performance as no assurances can be given that quarterly results will not fluctuate; causing a possible material adverse effect on Paradigm's operating results and financial condition. COMPARISON OF THE THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2006 AND 2005 Revenue. For the three months ended September 30, 2006, revenue decreased 6.8% to $14.5 million from $15.5 million for the same period in 2005. The decrease in revenue is attributable to $1.4 million decrease in federal maintenance contracts business and partially off-set by $0.4 million growth in commercial service contracts business during the three months ended September 30, 2006. The decrease in maintenance business is attributable to residual revenue from a system upgrade performed on behalf of a civilian agency customer, which was recognized during the three months ended September 30, 2005 but did not reoccur during the three months ended September 30, 2006. The increase in commercial service contracts business is primarily related to the acquisition of Blair. Cost of Revenue. Cost of revenue includes direct labor, materials, subcontractors and an allocation for indirect costs. Generally, changes in cost of revenue correlate to fluctuations in revenue as resources are consumed in the production of that revenue. For the three months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, cost of revenue was $13.1 million. As a percentage of revenue, cost of revenue was 90.3% for the three months ended September 30, 2006 as compared to 84.4% for the same period in 2005. The increase in cost as a percentage of revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2006 was primarily due to the $963 thousand contract loss allowance recorded against the Company's firm fixed price software development contract. The cost of revenue excluding this charge was 83.6% for the three months ended September 30, 2006. Gross Margin. For the three months ended September 30, 2006, gross margin decreased 41.9% to $1.4 million from $2.4 million for the same period in 2005. Gross margin as a percentage of revenue decreased to 9.7% for the three months ended September 30, 2006 from 15.6% for the same period in 2005. Gross margin as a percentage of revenue decreased primarily due to the contract loss allowance. Gross margin as a percentage of revenue excluding the charge was 16.4% for the three months ended September 30, 2006 or slightly higher than the gross margin for the same period in 2005. Gross margin as it relates to the service contracts decreased 51.3% to $1 million from $2.1 million for the same period in 2005. Service gross margin as a percentage of revenue decreased to 9.4% for the three months ended September 30, 2006 from 20% for the same period in 2005. The decrease as a percentage of revenue was primarily related to the contract loss allowance. Gross margin, as it relates to the maintenance contracts, increased 20.2% to $0.4 million from $0.3 million for the same period in 2005. The increase in maintenance gross margin is attributable to price renegotiation for one of the Company's contracts when it was re-competed in 2006. Selling, General & Administrative Expenses. For the three months ended September 30, 2006, selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses increased 36.4% to $2.7 million from $2 million for the same period in 2005. As a percentage of revenue, SG&A expenses increased to 18.8% from 12.8% for the same period in 2005. The increase in SG&A expenses was due to $0.6 million increase in SG&A from its commercial business and $0.4 million increase in compensation expenses for potential severance and stock compensation expenses recorded in accordance with SFAS No. 123 (revised), which was partially off-set by $0.3 million cost savings in SG&A. Impairment Loss. During the three months ended September 30, 2006, the Company conducted its annual review of goodwill and long-lived assets recorded from the acquisition of Blair in October 2005 for impairment. The Company used the discounted cash flow valuation model based on management's projection of future commercial cash flows to determine the fair value of goodwill and long-lived assets. The review indicated the fair value of goodwill and long-lived assets was less than the carrying value. Accordingly, the Company recorded an impairment loss of $1.9 million in the quarter ended September 30, 2006. The impairment is the result of slower than expected revenue growth and operating losses within the commercial consulting area that have continued to occur through the period ended September 30, 2006. 22 Net Loss. For the three months ended September 30, 2006, net income decreased to a loss of $3 million from net income of $247 thousand for the same period in 2005. This decrease in net income was due to increased SG&A expenses and the contract loss allowance as discussed above, which was partially off-set by $0.4 million of income tax benefits for the three months ended September 30, 2006. COMPARISON OF THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2006 AND 2005 Revenue. For the nine months ended September 30, 2006, revenues increased 2.3% to $47.3 million from $46.2 million for the same period in 2005. The slight increase in revenue is attributable to growth in the federal and commercial service contracts business of $2.7 million and $1.4 million, respectively. Revenue growth in the service business was off-set by a decrease of $3 million in the federal maintenance business. Federal service revenue growth was driven by increased billable labor positions with existing civilian agency customers. Commercial service revenue growth was a result of the acquisition of Blair on October 14, 2005. The decrease in maintenance business is attributable to residual revenue from a system upgrade performed on behalf of a civilian agency customer, which was recognized during the nine months ended September 30, 2005 but did not reoccur during the nine months ended September 30, 2006. Cost of Revenue. Cost of revenue includes direct labor, materials, subcontractors and an allocation for indirect costs. Generally, changes in cost of revenue correlate to fluctuations in revenue as resources are consumed in the production of that revenue. For the nine months ended September 30, 2006, cost of revenue increased 2.1% to $40 million from $39.1 million for the same period in 2005. The increase in cost of revenue was primarily attributable to the contract loss allowance on the Company's firm fixed price federal service contract. Cost of revenue excluding the contract loss allowance decreased slightly because of the growth in federal services contracts which generally have lower costs as a percentage of revenue than maintenance contracts. As a percentage of revenue, cost of revenue was 84.6% for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 as compared to 84.7% for the same period in 2005. As a percentage of revenue, cost of revenue excluding the contract loss allowance, was 82.5% for the nine months ended September 30, 2006. Gross Margin. For the nine months ended September 30, 2006, gross margin increased 3% to $7.3 million from $7.1 million for the same period in 2005. Gross margin as a percentage of revenue increased to 15.4% for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 from 15.3% for the same period in 2005. Gross margin as a percentage of revenue was 17.5% excluding the contract loss allowance for the nine months ended September 30, 2006. The increase was due to the increase in revenue and a change in the business mix as services revenue, which has a higher gross margin than the maintenance business, comprised a greater percentage of the overall business. Gross margin as it relates to service contracts decreased 1.7% to $6 million from $6.1 million for the same period in 2005. The decrease in service contract gross margin was due to the contract loss allowance. Gross margin as it related to service contracts excluding the contract loss allowance increased 14.2% to $6.9 million. Gross margin, as it relates to the maintenance contracts, increased 31.7% to $1.3 million from $1 million for the same period in 2005. The increase in maintenance gross margin is attributable to a non-recurring increase of $0.3 million related to the contract finalization activities on a fixed price maintenance contract, which ended during the quarter ended June 30, 2006. Selling, General & Administrative Expenses. For the nine months ended September 30, 2006, SG&A expenses increased 36.4% to $8 million from $5.9 million for the same period in 2005. As a percentage of revenue, SG&A expenses increased to 17% from 12.7% for the same period in 2005. The increase in SG&A expenses was due to $1.7 million in increased SG&A from the commercial business and $0.4 million increase in compensation expenses due to potential severance expense and stock compensation expenses recorded in accordance with SFAS No. 123 (revised). Impairment Loss. During the three months ended September 30, 2006, the Company conducted its annual review of goodwill and long-lived assets recorded from the acquisition of Blair in October 2005 for impairment. The Company used the discounted cash flow valuation model based on management's projection of future commercial cash flows to determine the fair value of goodwill and long-lived assets. The review indicated the fair value of goodwill and long-lived assets was less than the carrying value. Accordingly, the Company recorded an impairment loss of $1.9 million in the quarter ended September 30, 2006. The impairment is the result of slower than expected revenue growth and operating losses within the commercial consulting area that have continued to occur through the period ended September 30, 2006. Net Loss. For the nine months ended September 30, 2006, net income decreased to a loss of $2.7 million from net income of $0.7 million for the same period in 2005. This decrease in net income was due to increased SG&A expenses as discussed above, which was partially off-set by higher gross margin and the $0.3 million income tax benefits for the nine months ended September 30, 2006. 23 LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES The Company's primary liquidity needs are financing the cost of operations, capital expenditures and servicing its debt. The Company's sources of liquidity are its existing cash, cash generated from operations, and cash available from borrowings under its revolving credit facility. The Company has historically financed its operations through its existing cash, cash generated from operations and cash available from borrowings under its revolving credit facility. Based upon the current level of operations, the Company believes that cash flow from operations, together with borrowings available from its existing credit facility, are adequate to meet future liquidity needs for the next twelve months. For the nine months ended September 30, 2006, the Company used $747 thousand in cash and cash equivalents versus $952 thousand in cash provided for the same period in 2005. Cash provided by operating activities was $1.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 compared to $0.6 million for the same period in 2005. As of September 30, 2006, the Company had cash on hand of $0.2 million. Accounts receivable decreased by $1.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 versus an increase of $1.8 million for the same period in 2005. The decrease in the accounts receivable balance for 2006 is attributable to more focused billing and collection efforts. The increase in the accounts receivable balance for 2005 was attributable to delays in billing of a fixed price milestone contract with a civilian agency client. The Company expects to bill and collect the outstanding receivables within the next 12 months. Prepaid expenses increased by $0.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 versus a decrease of $4.1 million for the same period in 2005. The decrease in prepaid expenses for 2005 was due to the fulfillment of contractual obligations on the IRS LTMCC contract. Deferred revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 had no change versus a decrease of $1.3 million for the same period in 2005. The decrease during the nine months ended September 30, 2005 was primarily related to the Company's IRS LTMCC contract. The deferred revenue for IRS LTMCC was associated with the remaining amortization of software maintenance revenue related to a system upgrade purchased in October 2004. Accounts payable increased by $0.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 versus a decrease of $1 million for the same period in 2005. The increase during the nine months ended September 30, 2006 was due to the timing of vendor invoices at end of the period as well as better cash management related to vendor payments. The decrease during the nine months ended September 30, 2005 was due to system upgrade and software maintenance related invoices, associated with the IRS LTMCC contract, which were accrued during the three months ending December 31, 2004 but paid during the nine months ended September 30, 2005. Net cash used by investing activities was $0.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 versus $38 thousand for the same period in 2005. Cash used by investing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2006 was primarily the result of capitalization of software development costs associated with the Company's OpsPlanner software solution and purchase of property and equipment. Net cash used by financing activities was $2.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 compared to cash provided of $0.3 million for the same period in 2005. The increase in cash used is due to payments on the Company's line of credit. On July 28, 2005, the Company entered into a two year Loan and Security Agreement with Chevy Chase Bank that provides for a revolving line of credit facility of up to $9 million. The Loan and Security Agreement became effective August 4, 2005. The revolving line of credit is used to borrow funds for working capital and general corporate purposes. 24 The revolving loans under the Chevy Chase Bank Loan and Security Agreement are secured by a first priority lien on substantially all of the assets of the Company, excluding intellectual property. Under the Loan and Security Agreement, the line of credit is due on demand and interest is payable monthly depending on the Company's leverage ratio at the LIBOR rate plus the applicable spread which ranges from 2.25% to 3.00%. Under the terms of the Loan and Security Agreement, the Company may borrow up to the lesser of $9,000,000 or 90% of eligible U.S. Government receivables plus 80% of eligible commercial receivables plus 75% of the aggregate amount of billable but unbilled accounts to a maximum of $3,000,000. Of the total borrowings, the Company may use up to $500,000 for letters of credit. As of September 30, 2006, the Company had set aside $400,000 in total letters of credit. The Loan and Security Agreement requires that the Company maintain certain covenants and ratios, which are calculated quarterly. On March 30, 2006, the Company amended the Loan and Security Agreement with Chevy Chase Bank to modify the tangible net worth, debt service coverage ratio and maximum leverage ratio covenants as follows: (1) minimum tangible net worth of not less than $1,800,000 for December 31, 2005 and March 31, 2006, which was increased to $2,000,000 by June 30, 2006 and increased again by 50% of the Company's net income for each fiscal year end beginning with December 31, 2006; (2) minimum debt service coverage ratio as of December 31, 2005 of not less than 1.150 to 1.000, which was increased to 1.500 to 1.000 by September 30, 2006; (3) maximum leverage ratio of 9.100 to 1.000 for December 31, 2005, which was decreased to 7.500 to 1.000 by March 31, 2006, 5.500 to 1.000 by June 30, 2006, 5.250 to 1.000 by September 30, 2006 and 4.000 to 1.000 by December 31, 2006. Because the Company was not in compliance with the maximum leverage ratio covenant for the period ending March 31, 2006, the Company amended the Loan and Security Agreement with Chevy Chase Bank on May 12, 2006 to modify the maximum leverage ratio to for March 31, 2006 to 9.100 to 1.000, for June 30, 2006 to 6.500 to 1.000 and for December 31, 2006 to 4.500 to 1.000. On August 11, 2006, Chevy Chase Bank waived the covenant and ratio requirements for the quarter ended June 30, 2006. On November 14, 2006, Chevy Chase Bank waived the covenant and ratio requirements for the quarter ending September 30, 2006. The Loan and Security Agreement contains events of default that include among other things, non-payment of principal, interest or fees, violation of covenants, inaccuracy of representations and warranties, cross default to certain other indebtedness, bankruptcy and insolvency events, change of control and material judgments. Upon occurrence of an event of default, Chevy Chase Bank is entitled to, among other things, accelerate all obligations of the Company and sell the Company's assets to satisfy the Company's obligations under the Loan and Security Agreement. In the event the Company requires additional funds, whether for acquisitions or otherwise, it may seek additional equity or debt financing. Such financing may not be available to the Company on terms that are acceptable to it, if at all, and any equity financing may be dilutive to its stockholders. To the extent that the Company obtains additional debt financing, its debt service obligations will increase and the relevant debt instruments may, among other things, impose additional restrictions on its operations, require it to comply with additional financial covenants or require it to pledge assets to secure its borrowings. In the event cash flows are not sufficient to fund operations at the present level and the Company is unable to obtain additional financing, it would attempt to take appropriate actions to tailor its activities to its available financing, including revising its business strategy and future growth plans to accommodate the amount of financing available to it. ITEM 3: QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK The Company's exposure to market risk relates to changes in interest rates for borrowing under its revolving credit facility. These borrowings bear interest at a fixed rate plus LIBOR, a variable rate. The Company does not use derivative financial instruments for speculative or trading purposes. The Company invests its excess cash in short-term, investment grade, interest-bearing securities. 25 ITEM 4: CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES EVALUATION OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES The Company's management, with the participation of the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), as of the quarter ended September 30, 2006. Based on such evaluation, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of September 30, 2006, the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified by the SEC's rules and forms, and accumulated and communicated to the Company's management, including the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING In connection with the evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act, there was no change identified in the Company's internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the three months ended September 30, 2006 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's control over financial reporting. 26 PART II: OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 1: LEGAL PROCEEDINGS The Company is involved in legal actions arising in the normal course of business. The Company believes the claims are without merit and intends to vigorously defend its position; however, the Company has accrued $165,000 to settle a matter over disputed compensation that a former employee claims are due. In the opinion of management, the outcome of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on these financial statements. ITEM 1A: RISK FACTORS There were no material changes to the risk factors set forth in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005, which was filed on March 31, 2006.

In the same letter, the Lender, Chevy Chase Bank, agreed to waive the non-compliance provided that the Company be in compliance with its loan covenants by September 30, 2006. On November 14, 2006, Chevy Chase Bank provided the Company with a verbal confirmation of its covenant compliance for the period ended September 30, 2006. Chevy Chase waived its right to declare default per the Loan and Security Agreement until December 15, 2006. The Company will file the written notice on Form 8-K when received.
