SEPTEMBER 30, 2005 QUARTERLY REPORT ON FORM 10-Q/A
SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
The matters discussed in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A may constitute forward-looking
statements within the meaning of The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These
statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors that may cause our
actual results, activity levels, performance or achievements to be materially different from any
future results, activity levels, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such
forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify these statements by forward-looking
words such as could expect estimate may potential will and would or similar words.
You should read statements that contain these words carefully because they discuss our future
expectations, contain projections of our future results of operations or of our financial position,
or state other forward-looking information. We believe it is important to communicate our future
expectations to our investors. However, there may be events in the future that we are not able to
predict or control accurately. The factors listed in the section captioned Risk Factors, as well
as any cautionary language in the Form 10-Q/A, provide examples of risks, uncertainties, and events
that may cause our actual results to differ materially from the expectations we describe in our
forward-looking statements.
Although we believe that the
expectations reflected in the
forward-looking statements are
reasonable, we cannot guarantee
future results, activity levels,
performance or achievements.
You should not place undue
reliance on these
forward-looking statements,
which apply only as of the date
of the Form 10-Q/A. Subsequent
events and developments may
cause our views to change.
However, while we may elect to
update the forward-looking
statements at some point in the
future, we specifically disclaim
any obligation to do so.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements for the three and nine month periods
ended September 30, 2005 and 2004 have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and pursuant
to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01
of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial
statements. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial
statements contain all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring accruals, considered
necessary for a fair presentation of the Companys financial position, results of operations, and
cash flows as of and for the periods presented.
The results of operations for the interim periods ended September 30, 2005 and 2004 are not
necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. These interim consolidated
financial statements should be read in conjunction with the December 31, 2004 consolidated
financial statements and related notes included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for
the year ended December 31, 2004, in addition to the interim financial statements, exhibits and
related notes included in the Companys Form 8-K/As filed on July 26, 2005, May 13, 2005 and April
19, 2005.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Organization and Nature of Business
Spectrum Sciences & Software Holdings Corp. (the Company), headquartered in Falls Church,
Virginia, has five reportable segments: Security Solutions, Industrial and Offshore, Repair and
Overhaul, Engineering Consulting and Procurement Services. Security Solutions includes the design
and construction of munitions ground support equipment and containers for the shipping and storage
of munitions and software to assist in hazard management and weapons impact analysis. The Security
Solutions segment comprises the previously reported segments of management services, manufacturing,
and engineering and information technology. Industrial and Offshore operations include the
Companys engineering, mechanical contracting and steel fabrication operations in the Province of
Newfoundland, Canada. The Companys Repair and Overhaul segment is engaged in providing
specialized fabrication and maintenance for ships, lifeboats and maritime navigation systems. The
Companys Engineering Consulting segment provides services to the federal government in the areas
of energy and the environment, homeland defense and transportation. The Procurement Services
segment provides acquisition support services to both government and commercial clients.
The Company acquired M&M Engineering Limited (M&M), Coast Engine and Equipment Co., Inc. (CEECO),
and Horne Engineering Services, Inc. (Horne) during the 2005 fiscal year. Details of these
acquisitions are included in Note 3.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes utilizing the asset and liability method. This approach
requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax
consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts
of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit
carry forwards. 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. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates
is recognized in income in the period that includes the enacted date. Valuation allowances are
established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

SPECTRUM SCIENCES & SOFTWARE HOLDINGS CORP.
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
The Company currently has a net operating loss carry forward of approximately $9,300,000, which
would equate to a deferred tax asset of approximately $3,000,000 at September 30, 2005. The
Company has not recorded this federal tax benefit in the accompanying financial statements, as
management has deemed that full realization of this asset is unlikely.
Earnings (Loss) Per Share
The Company reports its earnings (loss) per share in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards
Board (FASB) Statement No. 128, Earnings Per Share. Statement No. 128 requires the presentation
of basic and diluted loss per share on the face of the statement of operations.
Basic
earnings (loss) per share (EPS) is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the
weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted EPS is
computed in a manner consistent with that of basic EPS while giving effect to the impact of common
stock equivalents. The Companys common stock equivalents consist of employee, director and
consultant stock options to purchase common stock. Common stock equivalents were not included in
the computation of diluted earnings (loss) per share for the three and nine months ended September
30, 2005 and 2004 as the inclusion of these common stock equivalents would be anti-dilutive as the
Company is in a net loss position and including such shares would reduce the net loss per share.
Financial Instruments
The Company considers all highly liquid interest-earning investments with a maturity of three
months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. Short-term investments generally
mature between three months and two years from the purchase date. Investments with maturities
beyond one year may be classified as short-term based on their highly liquid nature and because
such marketable securities represent the investment of cash that is available for current
operations. All short-term investments are classified as available for sale and are recorded at
market value using the specific identification method; unrealized gains and losses are reflected in
Other Comprehensive Income. Investments consist of debt instruments. Debt securities are
classified as available for sale and are recorded at market using the specific identification
method. Unrealized gains and losses (excluding other-than-temporary impairments) are reflected in
Other Comprehensive Income.
Investments are considered to be impaired when a decline in fair value is judged to be other than
temporary. The Company employs a systematic methodology that considers available evidence in
evaluating potential impairment of its investments. If the cost of an investment exceeds its fair
value, the Company evaluates, among other factors, general market conditions, the duration and
extent to which the fair value is less than cost, as well as our intent and ability to hold the
investment. The Company also considers specific adverse conditions related to the financial health
of and business outlook for the investee, including industry and sector performance, changes in
technology, operational and financing cash flow factors, and rating agency actions. Once a decline
in fair value is determined to be other than temporary, an impairment charge is recorded and a new
cost basis for the investment is established.
Foreign Currency Translation
The Companys functional currency is the U.S. dollar, except that the functional currency of M&M is
the Canadian dollar. In the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the monetary assets
and liabilities of M&M were translated to U.S. dollars using the September 30, 2005 exchange rate
of .8542 Canadian dollar to 1.00 U.S. dollar. All monetary consolidated statements of operations
items of M&M were translated at the average exchange rate for the nine months ended September 30,
2005 of .8173 Canadian dollar to 1.00 U.S. dollar.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2004, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) 123 (revised
2004), Share-Based Payment (SFAS 123R). SFAS 123R requires measurement of all employee
stock-based compensation awards using a fair-value method and the recording of such expense in the
consolidated financial statements. In addition, the adoption of SFAS 123R requires additional
accounting related to the income tax effects and disclosure regarding the cash flow effects
resulting from share-based payment arrangements. We selected the Black-Scholes option-pricing
model as the most appropriate fair-value method for our awards and will recognize compensation cost
on a straight-line basis over our awards vesting periods, if any. We adopted SFAS 123R in the
first quarter of 2004.
The expected adoption of the following recent accounting pronouncements in the first quarter of
2006 is not expected to have a material impact on our results of operations and financial
condition:
|
|
SFAS No. 151, Inventory CostsAn Amendment of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4 |
|
|
|
SFAS No. 153, Exchanges of Nonmonetary AssetsAn Amendment of APB Opinion No. 29 and |
|
|
|
EITF Issue No. 05-06, Determining the Amortization Period for Leasehold Improvements |
In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS 154, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections (SFAS 154), which
replaces Accounting Principles Board Opinions No. 20 Accounting Changes and SFAS 3, Reporting
Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements An Amendment of APB Opinion No. 28. SFAS 154
provides guidance on the accounting for and reporting of accounting changes and error corrections.
It establishes retrospective application, or the earliest practicable date, as the required method
for reporting a change in accounting principle and restatement with respect to the reporting of a
correction of an error. SFAS 154 is effective for accounting changes and corrections of errors made
in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005.
3. ACQUISITIONS
M&M Engineering Limited
On February 1, 2005, the Company acquired M&M for $6,768,202 in cash; a combination of the purchase
of 100% of the common stock of M&M and an issuance of 1,000 preferred shares to the Company. The
purchase price for the common stock of M&M was $5,958,802 in cash. Pursuant to the Purchase
Agreement, M&M redeemed 1,000 of its preferred shares held by EnerNorth Industries Inc. for
$809,400 immediately prior to closing the acquisition and issued the same number of preferred
shares to the Company for $809,400. The total cost of the acquisition includes approximately
$297,000 of acquisition related expenses for a total cost of $7,065,202. The primary purpose of
this acquisition was to diversify the Companys corporate customer base beyond U.S. federal
government contracting and to capitalize on the growth potential in the natural resource sector to
include: the offshore oil and gas industries, the hydroelectric sector, mining and the pulp and
paper industries in Newfoundland and Labrador.
Coast Engine and Equipment
On February 25, 2005, the Company acquired CEECO with an initial cash payment of $300,000 plus an
earn-out over the next three years. Under the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the Company will
pay to the former Shareholders of CEECO a total purchase price of up to $900,000 over a three-year
period. The purchase price is payable in cash and common stock of the Company and is subject to
certain adjustments, including, without limitation, adjustments based on CEECOs earnings during
such three-year period. In addition to the $300,000 cash payment for CEECO, there were
approximately $30,000 of acquisition related expenses. Pursuant to a security agreement executed
in connection with the Purchase Agreement, the former Shareholders of CEECO will retain a security
interest in all of the assets of CEECO until the total purchase price has been paid. The Company
has a three-year employment contract with Louis T. Rogers, a former shareholder of CEECO. The
CEECO acquisition allows the Company to exploit other non-government customer bases in the
south-central Florida region. It also provides the opportunity to pursue business opportunities
within the U.S. Coast Guard and U.S. Navy by increasing
8
SPECTRUM SCIENCES & SOFTWARE HOLDINGS CORP.
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
the Companys presence in that market. As of September 30, 2005, CEECO has met the purchase price
EBITDA (earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization), as defined in the agreement,
goals for the first year. While these results must be verified through year-end audit, one-half of
the first year price of $200,000, or $100,000 has been accrued. This includes $50,000 accrued in
this fiscal quarter to properly account for this expense.
Horne Services, Inc.
On May 11, 2005, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Horne
Services, Inc. (Horne), from its shareholders, Darryl K. Horne, Charlene M. Horne and Michael M.
Megless (the Horne Shareholders), pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the Merger
Agreement). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Horne was merged with and into Horne Acquisition
LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The purchase price for the capital stock of Horne
was $4.5 million in cash and 6.1 million unregistered shares of the Companys common stock (the
Shares). Additional shares of common stock could subsequently become issuable by the Company to
the Horne Shareholders to the extent that the average closing price of the Companys common stock
on NASD OTC Bulletin Board, or other public securities market, for the trading days during the two
month period ending on May 11, 2007 is less than $3.25 per share, subject to Horne (on a stand
alone basis) meeting or exceeding 2005 gross revenues of $75 million with EBITDA (as defined in the
Merger Agreement) of $3.25 million (the 2005 EBITDA) and EBITDA of not less than $3.25 million in
2006. Pursuant to an Amendment and Waiver Agreement entered into among the parties to the Merger
Agreement on May 11, 2005 (the Amendment), the Company held back 4.0 million of the Shares
payable to the former Horne Shareholders under the Merger Agreement (the Hold Back Shares), with
the disposition of those shares subject to two conditions. First, the Amendment requires the
Company to release 3.0 million of the Hold Back Shares to the former Horne Shareholders promptly
upon receiving certain third party consents relating to certain of Hornes contracts, which are
specified in the Amendment. Second, if Hornes 2005 EBITDA is less than $3.25 million (the EBITDA
Shortfall), the Company will be entitled to recover any remaining Hold Back Shares limited such
that the value of the recovered Hold Back Shares, based on the closing price of the Companys
common stock on May 11, 2005, does not exceed three times the EBITDA Shortfall. As of November 11,
2005, the Company has received the required consents described above and intends to promptly issue
three million of the Hold Back Shares to Hornes former shareholders. See also subsequent events
described in Note 13.
In connection with the Merger Agreement, the Company and the Horne Shareholders entered into a
Registration Rights Agreement, dated May 11, 2005 (the Rights Agreement), pursuant to which the
Company agreed to prepare and file a registration statement pursuant to Rule 415 under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act), covering the resale from time to time of
all of the shares of the Companys common stock issued to the Shareholders pursuant to the Merger
Agreement.
Upon the closing of the Merger Agreement, Messrs. Horne and Megless were appointed to the Companys
Board of Directors. In connection with the Merger Agreement, Messrs. Horne and Megless executed
Employment Agreements with the Company, dated as of May 11, 2005 (the Employment Agreements),
pursuant to which such individuals were appointed Chief Executive Officer (CEO), and Chief
Financial Officer (CFO), respectively. Pursuant to a Stock Option Agreement executed in
connection with the Merger Agreement, Mr. Horne received an option to purchase 1.0 million shares
of the Companys common stock at an exercise price of $1.65 per share, subject to Horne meeting the
revenue and EBITDA targets for 2005 as described above. The Company also reserved 2.0 million
shares of the Companys common stock for the issuance of stock options to be granted to the
employees of Horne at the discretion of Mr. Horne.
Each acquisition described above was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting;
accordingly, the purchase price has been allocated to reflect the fair value of assets and
liabilities acquired at the date of acquisition. For the nine-month period ended September 30,
2005, the results of operations reported for the Company includes a full nine months of operations
for Spectrum Sciences & Software, Inc. (SSSI), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, eight
months of operations for M&M (February 1, 2005 through September 30, 2005), seven months of
operations for CEECO (March 1, 2005 through September 30, 2005), and five months of operations for
Horne (May 1, 2005 through September 30, 2005), respectively. For the three month and nine month
periods ended September 30, 2004, the results of operations represent only those of SSSI.

Total revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2005
increased as compared with the same period in 2004, primarily as a
result of the acquisitions of M&M, CEECO and Horne, offset by the
$1.8 million reduction in revenues from the Gila Bend contract. The
reduction in the net loss is primarily due to the profitability of
the three subsidiaries acquired during 2005.
For the nine month period ended September 30, 2005, the Company incurred $1.4 million in stock
based compensation expense, a $880,000 loss for SSSI and significant positive earnings
contributions from the acquired companies; the net loss reported above was also significantly
impacted by merger and acquisition activity during the period including costs for accounting and
legal fees, investor relations, and consulting, as well as Hurricane Dennis, the second hurricane
to hit the Florida Gulf Coast in less than a year. The loss for the nine months ended September
30, 2004 includes approximately $37.4 million of stock compensation expense.
4. RECEIVABLES
Receivables primarily comprise amounts due to the Company for work performed on contracts directly
related to commercial and government customers. The Companys Industrial and Offshore major
clients include Exxon Mobil, Petro Canada, Halliburton, Husky Energy, Inco Ltd., Iron Ore Company
of Canada, North Atlantic Refining Ltd., Abitibi Consolidated and Corner Brook Pulp and Paper. The

7. BORROWINGS AND LINES OF CREDIT
The Companys borrowings primarily consist of mortgages of $2.12 million and capital leases of $.73
million. The interest rates on the mortgages are either fixed at 7% or adjustable at the Royal
National Bank of Canadas cost of funds plus 3.25% (6.591% at September 30, 2005). The interest
rates on the capital leases range from 0% to 14.9%.
The Company also maintains lines of credit through two of its subsidiaries. These lines of credit
provide operating funds for normal business activities. These financing arrangements are described
below.
CIBC Facility
M&M maintains its own revolving line of credit facility with a commercial bank, the Canadian
Imperial Bank of Commerce (CIBC). This credit facility (the CIBC Facility) was initially
entered into in December 1994 and has been amended and renewed from time to time. The CIBC
Facility currently allows the Company to borrow up to the lesser of i) $1.40 million Canadian, or
ii) 75% of receivables from governments or large institutions and 60% of other receivables to
finance working capital requirements on a revolving basis. The CIBC Facility is payable upon demand
and bears interest at prime plus 2.25%. As of September 30, 2005, there was $1,082,449 outstanding
under the CIBC Facility.
As security for the CIBC Facility, M&M has provided a first priority lien on i) receivables,
inventory and specific equipment; ii) a second priority lien on land, buildings and immovable
equipment; and iii) an assignment of insurance proceeds. M&M and M&M Offshore Limited, a wholly
owned subsidiary of M&M, have provided cross-guarantees to CIBC in an unlimited amount to secure
each others share of the CIBC Facility. The CIBC Facility also requires M&M to comply with
specified financial covenants, including current ratio, debt/equity ratio and limits on capital
expenditures, dividends and further encumbrances on collateral. As of September 30, 2005, M&M was
in compliance with all of these covenants.

Magna Credit Facility
During 2003, Magna negotiated a credit facility in the amount of $797,871, which is repayable on
demand and bears interest at the banks prime lending rate plus 1.50% per annum. As security, M&M
has provided a $199,468 guarantee plus an agreement to postpone debt of a further $279,255. There
was no outstanding balance of this demand loan as of September 30, 2005. M&M has not been liable
for any guarantees under this credit facility.
Bank of America Facility
During 2004, Horne negotiated two revolving lines of credit with the Bank of America. In 2005,
these credit lines were extended and now expire on December 31, 2005. The operating line of credit
for $4,000,000 accrues interest at the London Inter-Bank Offered Rate (LIBOR) plus 2.75%. The
contract line of credit for $10,000,000 accrues interest at LIBOR plus 3.25%. At September 30,
2005, there was no outstanding balance on either line.

9. STOCK OPTION PLAN
On January 12, 2005, the Company executed stock option agreements with the directors and officers
of the Company, pursuant to the Amended and Restated Number 2 2004 Non-Statutory Stock Option Plan
(the Plan). Pursuant to stock option agreements, the Company granted options to each of Kelvin
D. Armstrong, Karl Heer, William H. Ham, Jr. and Nancy Gontarek to purchase 300,000 shares of the
Companys common stock, $0.0001 par value per share, at an exercise price of $1.65 per share. All
the options become exercisable as of the date on which the Company has consummated, since January
12, 2005, the acquisition of businesses with annual revenues in the aggregate of at least $20
million. The options expire on January 12, 2008. The Company has chosen to implement FASB
Statement No. 123R, Share-Based Payment, which requires options be valued at fair value at the
grant date, effective January 1, 2004. The fair value of the
options issued was estimated at the grant
date using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions:
risk-free interest rate of 2.84%; no dividend yields; volatility factors of the expected market
price of our common stock of 0.67; and an expected option life of three years. This generates a
price of $0.63 per option based on an exercise price of $1.65 at the grant date, January 12, 2005.
As a result, $751,662 of compensation expense and additional paid-in capital was recorded at the
grant date.
On February 14, 2005, the Company executed additional stock option agreements with the directors of
the Company pursuant to the Plan. Pursuant to those stock option agreements, the Company granted
options to each of Kelvin D. Armstrong, Karl Heer and William H. Ham, Jr. to purchase 500,000
shares of the Companys common stock, $0.0001 par value per share, at an exercise price of $2.50
per share. All of the options issued to the directors will expire on February 14, 2008. All of
the options become exercisable as of the date on which the Company certifies, based on the
Companys audited financial statements for the 2005 fiscal year as filed in the Companys Annual
Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) for such fiscal
year, that the Company has achieved earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization
of $4 million for the 2005 fiscal year. No compensation expense has been recorded because it
cannot reasonably be determined, at this time, if the exercise contingency associated with these
options will be satisfied.
On April 7, 2005, the Company granted certain employees options to purchase an aggregate of 502,000
shares of the Companys common stock, $0.0001 par value per share, at an exercise price of $1.95,
pursuant to the Plan. All the options issued expire on April 7, 2008. The fair value of the
options issued was estimated at the grant date using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with
the following weighted-average assumptions: risk-free interest rate of 3.02%; no dividend yields;
volatility factors of the expected market price of our common stock of 0.73; and an expected life
of the options of three years. This generates a price of $1.27 per option based on a $1.95 exercise
price at the grant date, April 7, 2005. As a result, $638,901 of compensation expense and
additional paid-in capital was recorded at the grant date.
On June 6, 2005, the Company executed stock option agreements with certain employees pursuant to
the Plan. Pursuant to the agreements a total of 13,750 shares of the Companys common stock,
$0.0001 par value per share, at an exercise price of $1.28 per share. All the options issued will
expire on June 6, 2008. The fair value of the options issued was estimated at the grant date using
the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions: risk-free
interest rate of 3.30%; no dividend yields; volatility factors of the expected market price of our
common stock of 0.73; and an expected life of the options of three years. This generates a price of
$0.62 per option based on a strike price of $1.28 at the grant date, which was June 6, 2005. As a
result, $8,462 of compensation expense and additional paid-in capital was recorded at the grant
date.
On June 8, 2005, the Company executed stock option agreements, pursuant to the Plan, with Darryl K.
Horne and Michael M. Megless, who were appointed as directors of the Company on May 11, 2005.
Pursuant to the stock

option agreements, the Company granted, to each of Messrs. Horne and Megless, options to purchase
500,000 shares of the Companys common stock, $0.0001 par value per share, at an exercise price of
$2.50 per share. All of the options issued to Messrs. Horne and Megless will expire on June 8,
2008. All of the options will become exercisable if and as of the date on which the Company
certifies, based on the Companys audited financial statements for the 2005 fiscal year as filed in
the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC for such fiscal year, that the Company
has achieved earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization of $4 million for the
2005 fiscal year. No compensation expense has been recorded because it cannot reasonably be
determined at this time that the exercise contingency associated with these options will be
satisfied.
10. SEGMENT INFORMATION
Segment information has been presented on a basis consistent with how business activities are
reported internally to management. Management evaluates operating profit by segment taking into
account direct costs of each segments products and services as well as an allocation of indirect
corporate overhead costs. Through its four subsidiaries, the Company has five operating segments.
The Security Solutions segment as reported by SSSI includes operations for management services,
manufacturing, and engineering and information technology predominantly in the munitions and
Homeland safety arena. The Industrial and Offshore segment reported by M&M Engineering Ltd.
includes the Companys engineering, mechanical contracting and steel fabrication in the Province of
Newfoundland, Canada. The Repair and Overhaul segment as reported by Coast Engine and Equipment
Company, Inc. is engaged in providing specialized fabrication and maintenance for ships, lifeboats
and maritime navigation systems. The two segments reported by Horne Services, LLC are Engineering
Consulting and Procurement Services. Engineering Consulting services consist of
environmental sampling, occupational safety and transportation consulting. Procurement Services
support large government programs for infrastructure rebuilding and acquisition. The following is a
summary of certain financial information related to the five segments during the nine months ended
September 30, 2005 and 2004. Results are not reported in 2004 for the Industrial and Offshore
segment, the Repair and Overhaul segment, the Engineering Consulting segment, and the Procurement
Services segment as they were not part of the Companys operations during that time period.
For the nine month periods ended September 30, 2005, the segment results reported for the Company
include a full nine months of operations for SSSI, eight months of operations for M&M (beginning
February 1, 2005), seven months of operations for CEECO (beginning March 1, 2005), and five months
of operations for Horne (beginning May 1, 2005). For the three month and nine month periods ended
September 30, 2004, the segment results represent only those of SSSI. Note that the previously
reported segments of management services, engineering and information technology, and manufacturing
have now been consolidated into the Security Solutions segment consistent with how the Company is
now being managed.

11. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Legal Matters
Section 16(b) Claim
In July 2004, a complaint was filed by Todd Augenbaum (Augenbaum) against Robert Genovese,
Endeavor Capital Group, LLC, and BG Capital Group, Ltd. (collectively, the Genovese Defendants)
seeking to recover short-swing profits alleged to have been unlawfully obtained by Mr. Genovese
and his affiliated companies in violation of Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
The Company was named as a nominal defendant in the action, but has no liability for the asserted
claims.
15
SPECTRUM SCIENCES & SOFTWARE HOLDINGS CORP.
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
The Company is currently in settlement negotiations with Augenbaum and the Genovese Defendants for
the resolution of all claims in this action.
Claim by the Former President of the Company
In August 2004, Donal R. Myrick, the former President and CEO of the Company, filed a complaint for
alleged breach of employment contracts and damages associated with a delayed stock sale. The
dispute was submitted to mediation in October 2005 and the Company is negotiating with Mr. Myrick
for a settlement and dismissal of all claims in this action.
Harassment Suit
As previously reported, three former employees filed suits against the Company in December 2002 in
the United States District Court in Arizona alleging violation of civil rights, discrimination,
harassment, hostile work environment and retaliation. As also previously reported, the plaintiffs
secured a judgment against the Company in January 2005, for which the Company had accrued an
expense of approximately $238,000 at June 30, 2005. The Company fully settled the judgment and all
related claims for a payment of $188,000.
Garrison Lawsuit
On February 22, 2005, SSSI filed suit against former employees Donald L. Garrison, David M.
Hatfield and their current employer Control Systems Research, Inc. SSSI alleges that during their
employment at SSSI, Mr. Garrison and Mr. Hatfield were actively involved with the development and
application of the Safe Range project, a
proprietary SSSI product, and other non-technical company information such as employee wage data
and personnel files, marketing plans, bidding information and information about other SSSI
contracts and affairs. The suit alleges that Garrison and Hatfield used SSSIs confidential and
proprietary information (in violation of their signed agreements for Protection of Proprietary
Information) to improperly compete with their new employer (Control Systems Research, Inc.) against
SSSI with regards to the Safe Range program and other related government contracts. The five
counts identified in the lawsuit include breach of contract, violation of Uniform Trade Secrets
Act, tortious interference, conversion, and civil conspiracy.
Total damages to SSSI were not specified. The defendants have responded to the initial complaint
and discovery is continuing. A hearing was held on October 3, 2005 on SSSIs motion to compel
discovery and CSRs motion for a protective order. The court granted a temporary protective order
to CSR and directed that a follow-on hearing be scheduled to hear further arguments on Spectrums
request for an injunction against the defendants. The Company currently does not know what the
outcome of this litigation will be.
Plum Island Claim
Horne submitted a four-part claim to the Department of Homeland Security seeking an equitable
adjustment in the amount of $870,536 under a USDA contract. This claim is a resubmission of a claim
submitted to USDA, who was not authorized to rule as a result of a reorganization within the
federal agency. The claim is for additional work regarding sludge pumping, berm and borrow
material and delays resulting from an inadequately maintained lagoon. Horne successfully completed
the project, which permitted the USDA to be in compliance with the environmental permit so that it
could continue operation of the Plum Island facility. Horne is seeking a fair and equitable
adjustment to the contract price for the work it actually performed. The Company currently does not
know what the outcome of this matter will be. At September 30, 2005, no amounts have been recorded
in the financial statements in anticipation of a successful outcome for this claim.

12. INVESTMENTS IN JOINT VENTURES
M&M Engineering Limited
M&M Engineering Limited conducts a portion of its business through two joint ventures, Newfoundland
Service Alliance, Inc. (NSA) a 20.83% owned joint venture and Magna Services, Inc. (Magna) a
50% owned joint venture. These investments are accounted for using the equity method of
accounting.
NSA, a Newfoundland and Labrador corporation, was incorporated in December 1996 to combine the
expertise of its shareholders in providing comprehensive onshore support services to the
Newfoundland and Labrador oil and gas industry. NSA is jointly owned by M&M Offshore Limited (MMO)
(20.83%), G.J. Cahill & Company (1979) Limited (Cahill) (20.83%), New Valve Services and
Consulting Inc. (20.83%), Peacock Inc. (20.83%), and Siemens Westinghouse Ltd (16.68%).
Magna, a Newfoundland and Labrador corporation, was incorporated in April 1997 to provide offshore
support services to the Newfoundland and Labrador oil and gas industry including the Hibernia and
Terra Nova offshore oil projects. Magna is jointly owned 50% by MMO and 50% by Jendore Limited.
Liannu is a limited partnership formed under the laws of Newfoundland and Labrador in November
2002, for the purpose of providing services in Labrador including industrial mechanical
contracting, structural and steel fabrication and erection and other services including the
Voiseys Bay nickel mine development in Labrador. M&M is the general partner of Liannu, and holds
a .01% general partners interest and a 48.99% limited partners interest in the partnership. The
remaining 51% limited partnership interests are held by two individuals unrelated to the Company.
As a general partner, M&M charges a management fee equal to 5% of the contract price for contracts
entered into by the partnership.
In addition, Liannu has entered into an informal teaming arrangement with a similar corporation
named Mista-Shipu Constructors Limited (Mista-Shipu). The entity Liannu/Mista-Shipu was
designed to be a 50/50 joint venture
for the purpose of fulfilling a $3 million contract in 2004, regarding the site-wide supply and
installation of cladding for the infrastructure buildings at Voiseys Bay.
During
2004, the Industrial and Offshore segment through Liannu was awarded contracts totaling $7.79
million with Voiseys Bay Nickel Company (VBNC), which produced revenue of $3.80 million during
fiscal 2004. Voiseys Bay is located in Newfoundland and Labrador, and is the site of a large
nickel deposit currently being developed by INCO through its subsidiary, VBNC. The contracts

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations are based
upon our consolidated financial statements which have been prepared in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial
statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported
in the financial statements and determine whether contingent assets and liabilities, if any, are
disclosed in the financial statements. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and
assumptions, including those related to long-term contracts, product returns, bad debts,
inventories, fixed asset lives, income taxes, environmental matters, litigation and other
contingencies. We base our estimates and assumptions on historical experience and on various
factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, including current and expected
economic conditions, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying
values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results
may differ materially from our estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
We believe that the following critical accounting policies, among others, require us to make
significant estimates and judgments in the preparation of our financial statements:
Revenue Recognition
We recognize revenue and profit on substantially all of our fixed price contracts using the
percentage-of-completion method of accounting, which relies on estimates of total expected contract
revenues and costs. We follow this method since reasonably dependable estimates of the revenues
and costs applicable to various stages of the contracts can be made. Recognized revenues and profit
are subject to revisions as the projects progress to completion. Revisions to the profit estimates
are charged to income in the period in which the facts that give rise to the revisions become
known. Revenue from cost-plus contracts is recognized on the basis of direct costs plus indirect
costs incurred and an allocable portion of the fixed fee. Revenue from time and material contracts
is recognized based on fixed hourly rates for direct labor hours expended. The fixed rate includes
direct labor, indirect expenses and profit. Materials or other specified direct cost are recorded
at actual cost.
Inventory Valuation
We review our inventory balances to determine if inventories can be sold at amounts equal to or
greater than their carrying value. The review includes identification of slow-moving inventories,
obsolete inventories, and discontinued products or lines of products. The identification process
includes analysis of historical performance of the inventory and current operational plans for the
inventory as well as industry and customer-specific trends. If our actual results differ from
management expectations with respect to the selling of our inventories at amounts equal to or
greater than our carrying amounts, we would be required to adjust our inventory values accordingly.
Foreign Currency Translation
The Companys functional currency is the U.S. dollar, except that the functional currency of M&M is
the Canadian dollar. In the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the monetary assets
and liabilities of M&M were translated to U.S. dollars using the September 30, 2005 exchange rate
of .8542 Canadian dollar to 1.00 U.S. dollar. All monetary consolidated statements of operations
items of M&M were translated at the average exchange rate for the nine months ended September 30,
2005 of .8173 Canadian dollar to 1.00 U.S. dollar.
Net Operating Loss Carryforwards
We have not recognized the benefit in our financial statements with respect to the approximately
$9,300,000 net operating loss carryforward for federal income tax purposes as of September 30,
2005. This benefit was not recognized due to the possibility that the net operating loss
carryforward would not be utilized, for various reasons, including the potential that we might not
have sufficient profits to use the carryforward or the carryforward may be limited as a result of
changes in our equity ownership. We intend to use this carryforward to offset our future taxable
20
income. If we were to use any of this net operating loss carryforward to reduce our future taxable
income and the Internal Revenue Service were to then successfully assert that our carryforward is
subject to limitation as a result of capital transactions occurring in 2002 or otherwise, we may be
liable for back taxes, interest and, possibly, penalties prospectively.
Impairment of Long Lived Assets
We assess the impairment of long-lived assets on an ongoing basis and whenever events or
changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable based upon an
estimate of future discounted cash flows. Factors we consider that could trigger an impairment
review include the following: (i) significant underperformance relative to expected historical or
projected future operating results; (ii) significant changes in the manner of our use of the
acquired assets or the strategy for our overall business; and (iii) significant negative industry
or economic trends. When we determine that the carrying value of any long-lived asset may not be
recoverable based upon the existence of one or more of the above indicators of impairment, we
measure impairment based on the difference between an assets carrying value and an estimate of
fair value, which may be determined based upon quotes or a projected discounted cash flow, using a
discount rate determined by our management to be commensurate with our cost of capital and the risk
inherent in our current business model, and other measures of fair value.
Off Balance Sheet Risk
The Company currently has no off balance sheet arrangements.
You should read the following discussion and analysis in conjunction with the unaudited financial
statements (and notes thereto) and other financial information of the Company appearing elsewhere
in this report. For the three month and nine month periods ended September 30, 2004, the segment
results represent only those of SSSI.

Total revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2005 increased by 559% compared with the
same period in 2004, primarily as a result of the acquisition of M&M Engineering, CEECO, and Horne
offset by the $1.8 million reduction in revenues from the Gila Bend contract. Gross profit as a
percentage of revenue was 12.4% for the three months ended September 30, 2005 as compared with 5.5%
for the prior year period. These increased margins are due primarily to the profitability of the
three subsidiaries acquired during 2005.

The Security Solutions segment, comprised of manufacturing, software engineering and management
services, had a decrease in revenue due to the loss of the Gila Bend contract that provided
approximately $1.8 million of revenue in the third quarter of 2004. The segment witnessed
continued growth in its manufacturing operations while software engineering was negatively impacted
by the reshaping of government Safe Range requirements for a future contract and our completion of
the first increment of Safe Borders coding. Operations & Maintenance revenue remained stable with
cost saving measures resulting in a return to profitability.
The manufacturing group delivered more than 85 contracts valued at over $1.125 million during the
third quarter. The Navy launch tube contract provided over half of the revenue for the quarter.
The negative gross profit for the quarter is primarily due to increased raw material prices for the
B-stands contracts. We are working with the customer to obtain price concessions to continue work
under this contract.
Software engineering revenues decreased by 40% to $273,000 for the three month period ended
September 30, 2005 as compared with the same period in 2004. This decrease in revenues is due to
the necessary diverting of staff resources for non-revenue generating activities such as preparing
Safe Borders for the pending Americas Shield Initiative (ASI) procurement and preparing legal
proceedings in the case of Spectrum vs. Garrison.
Industrial and Offshore Segment
The following section depicts the Industrial and Offshore operating results for the three month
period ended September 30, 2005. There are no comparisons with the same period in 2004, as this
segment was not acquired by the Company until February 2005.

Recognized revenues for the period of $7,764,540 include approximately $524,000 of revenues
generated by its 49% interest in Liannu LLP. Gross profits for the three-month period ended
September 30, 2005 were approximately 10.6% of recognized revenues. This profit margin is less
then the historical profit margins of 15 to 20%. This is primarily because a significant project
during the period operated at a loss. Without this contract, the segments gross margin would have
been approximately 18% for the quarter. The Industrial and Offshore segment typically experiences
its highest business volume in the April to November timeframe, and a slow down of activity is
anticipated for the upcoming winter months.
The segment is currently engaged in a substantial contract with INCO to construct an ore-processing
facility in Canada based on an experimental hydromet process. This facility is a prototype, with
plans to construct a larger operation in the near future should the prototype prove economically
feasible. The estimated total gross revenue of this project is approximately $8.8 million (with
approximately $2.4 million in revenues still to be recognized in the fourth quarter). Liannu has
been successful in obtaining a cost-reimbursable contract with Voiseys Bay Nickel
22
Company for maintenance/clean-up efforts at the Voiseys Bay nickel mine development in Labrador,
Canada. The total gross revenue on this contract is unknown due to the nature of the contract, but
management anticipates involvement until at least the end of 2005, which could provide additional
revenue of $2 million before year end.

Revenue was driven by environmental service projects and our large TSA contract with $1.7 million
and $.7 million of revenue for the quarter, respectively. The environmental revenue is mainly from
a Department of Defense environmental sampling contract that contributed approximately $1.1 million
of revenue. Margins were down from the prior quarter as the higher margin business consulting
group revenue decreased during the third quarter.
Horne staff is providing environmental sampling services for the Pentagon Force Protection Agency
as part of a team led by Battelle Memorial Institute, in the National Capital Region. The samples
are analyzed for biological agents on a constant (24/7) basis. Two new contracts were signed in
September 2005 to extend this support for one
additional year. These awards would provide approximately $4.1 million of revenue over this period
if all options are exercised.
Horne has been assisting TSA in the development and implementation of a nationwide Occupational
Safety and Health (OSH) Program under a program awarded in July 2004. Support services include
initial hazard assessments, inspections, industrial hygiene services, mishap and incident
investigations, reporting and recordkeeping, training development, technical research, policy
development, and evaluations. In July 2005, TSA exercised the first option year, for $5,900,000 and
accelerated the scope execution, with no change in the overall contract dollar value as
23
awarded.
The original scope of work for the first option year called for Horne to conduct airport assistance
reviews and follow-up support at 100 U.S. airports. That number was increased to 444 airports in
the first option year. The program was amended to provide an accelerated execution with the same
scope and value but with a shortened duration.

The segment continues to provide procurement services as a subcontractor to Bechtel National, Inc.
on a contract with the United States Agency for International Development. Horne has continued
supporting the reconstruction of the power infrastructure in Iraq by purchasing large quantities of
material and equipment required for these power projects. This subcontract is scheduled to
terminate on December 31, 2005. The Company recognized $3.0 million of revenue in the third
quarter from this contract.
In July 2005, Horne was awarded a $2.1 million subcontract to assist a second major contractor in
Iraq to closeout purchase order and subcontract files. Eleven consultants were deployed to four
different sites in Iraq where they continue working to close hundreds of contracts and purchase
orders issued over the past several years. This contract provided $.4 million of revenue in the
third quarter.
The gross profit percentage increased for the quarter as a result of a final billing rate
adjustment on the Bechtel National Inc. contract. This adjustment applies to all contract billings
for the year.

During the three months ended September 30, 2005, selling, general, and administrative expenses
were significantly more than the expense incurred in the same period ended September 30, 2004.
This is primarily due to the acquisition of the three new subsidiaries. The majority of this cost
is staffing related.
Other Income and Expenses
Non-operating income increased to $143,000 from $115,000 in the comparable prior year period as a
result of the joint venture earnings from M&M offset by a reduction in interest income. The M&M
joint ventures provided approximately $123,000 of income that was not present in the prior period.
Interest income decreased by approximately $90,000 between the same periods.

same period in 2004, primarily as a result of the acquisition of three subsidiaries: M&M
Engineering, CEECO, and Horne offset by the decreased revenue from the Gila Bend contract of $6.7
million. Gross profit as a percentage of revenue was 13.3% for the nine months ended September 30,
2005 as compared to 8.5% for the prior year period. These increased margins are due primarily to
the profitability of the three subsidiaries acquired during 2005.

The significant decrease in revenue and margin associated with the Security Solutions segment is
primarily a result of the Gila Bend contract that was closed out in the third quarter of 2004 and
has no comparable replacement in 2005. This contract accounted for $6.7 million of revenue in 2004
at a margin of 1%. The loss of this revenue has been partially offset by an increase in
manufacturing revenue over the same period. Manufacturing revenues increased $1.7 million to $3.6
million during the nine month period due to expansion in the Navy launch tube contract that was
started in 2005. This contract has provided $1.6 million of revenue in 2005. The profit margin
has decreased year over year primarily due to a foreign military sales contract that is operating
at a loss, increased non-revenue producing activity related to the SAFE Borders program and
closeout costs on the Gila Bend contract. We are currently working with the customer to resolve
issues surrounding the significant increase in aluminum prices that has negatively impacted
margins.

The majority of the revenue has been driven by the Deer Lake and INCO projects which accounted for
70% of the segments revenue since acquisition. The INCO project accounts for approximately 48% of
the revenue for the segment. The overall segment margins have been negatively impacted by the loss
on the Deer Lake project. Without this loss, the gross profit margin would be about 16% for the
year which is consistent with the historical profit rates the segment earned prior to acquisition.

The revenue for the Engineering Consulting segment is primarily driven by the environmental
services group that contributed approximately $2.7 million of revenue with the environmental
sampling contract accounting for $1.7 million of that amount. The TSA occupational safety contract
provided an additional $1.1 million of revenue. The gross profit margin is slightly higher than
the quarter figure due to higher revenues and margin related to the business consulting group in
the acquisition to date period.

The year to date revenue is primarily the Bechtel National contract with revenues of $5.3 million.
The margins are higher than the historical, pre-acquisition, run rate due to a billing rate
adjustment that is retroactive to January 1, prior to acquisition.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2005, selling, general and administrative expenses
were $34.3 million less than the expense incurred in the same period ended September 30, 2004.
This is primarily due to approximately $36 million less expense recorded for stock-based
compensation in 2004. During the nine month period ended September 30, 2005, $1.4 million was
recorded for stock based employee compensation as compared with $37.4 million recorded for
stock-based consulting compensation in the nine month period ended June 30, 2004.
These reductions in expense are partially offset by approximately $3.1 million of additional
expenses as a result of adding the three new subsidiaries. This expense was not present in the
nine month period ended September 30, 2004 and is primarily personnel related costs.
Other Income and Expenses
Non-operating income increased by approximately $600,000 as a result of the inclusion of the
addition of the Canadian joint ventures that contributed $405,000 of income and a reduction of
interest expense of approximately $160,000 related to borrowings that occurred in the first half of
2004.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Total liquidity, consisting of cash equivalents and short-term investments, decreased by
$16,820,150 as of September 30, 2005, as compared with December 31, 2004. The majority of the
funds expended were utilized for the acquisitions of M&M Engineering, CEECO, and Horne. At
September 30, 2005, cash and cash equivalents
27
totaled $3,359,927 as compared with $5,666,910 at
December 31, 2004. As of September 30, 2005, the Company had $4,281,976 in cash accounts related
to bonding issues in Canada. At December 31, 2004, the Company had $18,795,143 in money market
accounts and short-term government-backed securities as a result of investing funds received from
the exercise of stock options. The Companys subsidiary M&M had drawn down its line of credit by
$1,082,449 to fund operations due to its accounts receivable balances. This is expected to be
repaid by year-end.
Accounts receivable represent our largest working capital requirement. We bill most of our clients
monthly or at the completion of a milestone. Our overall cash flow is predicated on the timely
collection of our outstanding receivable balances. We have no indication that there will be any
collectability issues regarding our outstanding receivables.
Available cash, cash equivalents and short term investments combined with cash provided by
operations anticipated through December 31, 2005 should provide sufficient operating capital to
fund operations. In addition, available lines of credit currently in place will provide for
additional working capital as necessary.
The Company has not repurchased any stock nor does it have any current plans to make any stock
repurchases in the foreseeable future.
Commitments
The Company, during the normal course of business, enters into agreements with subcontractors and
vendors to provide products and services that we consume in our operations or that are delivered to
our customers. These products and services are not considered unconditional obligations until the
products and services are actually delivered. We do not record a liability until that criterion is
met. The table below summarizes our contractual obligations under operating leases, capital leases
and debt.

Risk Factors
The Company is subject to several risk factors that could have a direct and material impact on the
operations of the Company. These risk factors are described below.
We may not receive the full amount of our contract awards.
The Company receives many government contract awards that include both funded and unfunded amounts.
While the Company believes that most contracts will become fully funded and executed, there are
occasions where the final executed amount of the contract may be substantially less than the
contract award. Congress often appropriates funds for our clients on a yearly basis, even though
our contracts may call for services over a number of years. As a result, Congress may elect not to
fund a particular contract in future years. Additionally, the funded amounts on contracts may not
be fully recognized in revenue as the priorities of the contract issuing agencies may change and
funding may be reappropriated for other uses.
We may not be able to integrate our new management and the acquired companies successfully to
achieve the expected benefits of these acquisitions.
In 2005, the Company acquired three new subsidiaries and had a change in executive management. If
we are unable to successfully integrate the existing companies and the new management, our revenue
and operating results could suffer. The difficulties of integration may be increased by the
necessity of coordinating a diverse set of businesses
28
that are both geographically and
operationally disparate. Integrating these operations and related personnel may result in
increased attrition, including but not limited to key employees of acquired companies, that could
adversely affect our future revenue and profitability.
Increased raw material prices may adversely affect contract profitability.
The Company has experienced significant increases in both steel and aluminum raw material prices.
Continued increases in the price of raw materials could have a negative impact on the profitability
of the Company. Many of our contracts in our manufacturing components are fixed price contracts
and are not automatically repriced when raw material costs increase. We aggressively pursue our
contract rights to receive compensation for these increased costs, where available, but not all
contracts have price adjustment clauses that allow the Company to recover those cost increases.
Loss of bonding may adversely impact our Canadian operations.
The Company has obtained bonding in Canada through posting a cash deposit with a Canadian surety
company. This was the only vehicle available for securing adequate bonding for M&M to continue its
operations. The loss of such bonding could have a material adverse impact on the revenues and
related profitability of M&M. The Company is currently seeking non-cash secured bonding. Failure
to obtain such bonding could adversely impact the Company through reduced revenue and profit.
Our quarterly operating results may fluctuate significantly as a result of factors outside of
our control, which could cause the market price of our common stock to decline.
Our revenue and operating results could vary significantly from quarter to quarter. In addition, we
cannot predict with certainty our future revenue or results of operations. As a consequence, our
operating results may fall below the expectations of securities analysts and investors, which could
cause the price of our common stock to decline. Factors that may affect our operating results
include:
|
|
fluctuations in revenue earned on contracts; |
|
|
commencement, completion, or termination of contracts during any particular quarter; |
|
|
variable purchasing patterns under GSA schedule contracts and agency-specific indefinite delivery/indefinite
quantity contracts; |
|
|
providing services under a share-in-savings or performance-based contract; |
|
|
additions and departures of key personnel; |
|
|
strategic decisions by us or our competitors, such as acquisitions, divestitures, spin-offs, joint ventures,
strategic investments, or changes in business strategy; |
|
|
contract mix, the extent of use of subcontractors, and the level of third-party hardware and software purchases
for customers; |
|
|
changes in presidential administrations and senior federal government officials that affect the timing of
technology procurement; |
|
|
changes in policy or budgetary measures that adversely affect government contracts in general; and |
|
|
the seasonality of our business. |
Reductions in revenue in a particular quarter could lead to lower profitability in that quarter
because a relatively large amount of our expenses are fixed in the short-term. We may incur
significant operating expenses during the start-up and early stages of large contracts and may not
receive corresponding payments or revenue in that same quarter. We may also incur significant or
unanticipated expenses when contracts expire or are terminated or are not
29
renewed. In addition,
payments due to us from government agencies may be delayed due to billing cycles or as a result of
failures of governmental budgets to gain Congressional and administration approval in a timely
manner
Our business commitments require our employees to travel to potentially dangerous places, which
may result in injury to our employees.
Our business involves providing services that require our employees to operate in various countries
around the world, including Iraq. These countries may be experiencing political upheaval or unrest,
and in some cases war or terrorism. Certain senior level employees or executives may, on occasion,
be part of the teams deployed to provide services in these countries. As a result, it is possible
that certain of our employees or executives will suffer injury or bodily harm in the course of
these deployments. It is also possible that we will encounter unexpected costs in connection with
additional risks inherent with sending our employees to dangerous locations, such as increased
insurance costs, as well as the repatriation of our employees or executives for reasons beyond our
control. These problems could cause our actual results to differ materially from those anticipated.
Unfavorable government audit results could force the Company to adjust previously reported
operating results and could subject us to a variety of penalties and sanctions.
A significant portion of our revenue comes from payments made by the U.S. government on prime
contracts and subcontracts. The costs of these contracts are subject to audit by the Defense
Contract Audit Agency (DCAA). Disallowance of these contract costs by DCAA could adversely affect
the Companys financial statements. Management periodically reviews its estimates of allowable and
unallowable costs based on the results of government audits and makes adjustments, if any, as
required.
If the government discovers improper or illegal activities, by the Company or its employees,
the Company may be subject to civil and criminal penalties and administrative sanctions, including
contract termination, forfeiture of profits, suspension of payments, fines, and suspension or
disbarment from conducting future business with the government. In addition, the Company could
suffer serious harm to our reputation if allegations of impropriety were made against it, whether
or not true. The Company is not aware of any instances of improper or illegal activities of its
employees.
30
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Interest Rate Risk
At September 30, 2005, only our M&M subsidiary had amounts outstanding under a revolving credit
facility. This amount is expected to be repaid during the fourth quarter using funds from
operations. We have not historically mitigated our exposure to fluctuations in interest rates by
entering into interest rate hedge agreements nor do we have any plans to do so in the immediate
future.
Cash and cash equivalents, as of September 30, 2005, were $7.6 million and are primarily invested
in money market interest bearing accounts. A hypothetical 10% adverse change in the average
interest rate on our money market cash investments would have had no material effect on net income
for the nine months ended September 30, 2005.
Foreign Exchange Risk
We are exposed to foreign currency risks due to both transactions and translations between
functional and reporting currencies in our Canadian subsidiaries. We are exposed to the impact of
foreign currency fluctuations due to the operations of and net monetary asset and liability
positions in our Canadian subsidiaries.
In addition, we estimate that an immediate 10% change in foreign exchange rates would impact
reported net income or loss by an immaterial amount. We do not currently utilize any derivative
financial instruments to hedge foreign currency risks.
31
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Our management, with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer,
has evaluated the effectiveness of the Companys disclosure controls and procedures as of September
30, 2005. The term disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and
15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are
designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it
files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the
time periods specified in the SECs rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include,
without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be
disclosed in such reports is accumulated and communicated to the companys management, including
its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions
regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter
how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives
and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of
possible controls and procedures. Based on the evaluation of the Companys disclosure controls and
procedures as of September 30, 2005, the Companys chief executive officer and chief financial
officer concluded that, as of such date, the Companys disclosure controls and procedures were not
effective for the reasons described in the following paragraph.
We filed our quarterly reports for the quarters ended March 31, 2005 and June 30, 2005 on Form
10-QSB as a small business issuer. In connection with the preparation of this quarterly report for
the quarter ended September 30, 2005, we determined that pursuant to Item 10(a)(2) of Regulation
S-B we ceased to qualify as a small business issuer as of January 1, 2005 because our public float
exceeded $25 million as of the end of the last two years. As a result, we were not eligible to
file our 2005 quarterly reports on Form 10-QSB, but were instead required to file them on Form
10-Q. Consequently, we are filing this quarterly report on Form 10-Q instead of Form 10-QSB and we
intend to promptly amend our quarterly reports for the quarters ended March 31, 2005 and June 30,
2005 in order to file them on Form 10-Q with all the disclosure that Form 10-Q requires. Although
much of the disclosure required by Form 10-Q is also required by Form 10-QSB, there are differences
between the forms, including differences in the required presentation of our financial statements,
as well as additional disclosure regarding market risk required by Form 10-Q.
The Companys current chief executive officer and chief financial officer joined the Company in
June 2005. Internal controls and procedures in place during the first and second quarter 10-Q
process included a Form 10-QSB applicability review by senior management and consultation with
outside legal and accounting professionals. Internal control reviews by senior management and
outside consultants for the third quarter 10-Q process determined that the Company incorrectly
filed Form 10-QSB for the quarters ended March 31 and June 30, 2005. We have taken steps to
enhance our disclosure controls and procedures, including hiring a new controller with SEC
reporting experience, appointing a chairman of the audit committee and initiating a search for a
general counsel with SEC reporting experience.
No change in the Companys internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f)
and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) occurred during the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2005
that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Companys internal
control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
Section 16(b) Claim
In July 2004, a complaint was filed by Todd Augenbaum (Augenbaum) against Robert Genovese,
Endeavor Capital Group, LLC, and BG Capital Group, Ltd. (collectively, the Genovese Defendants)
seeking to recover short-swing profits alleged to have been unlawfully obtained by Mr. Genovese
and his affiliated companies in violation of Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
The Company was named as a nominal defendant in the action, but has no liability for the asserted
claims.
The Company is currently in settlement negotiations with Augenbaum and the Genovese Defendants for
the resolution of all claims in this action.
Claim by the Former President of the Company
In August 2004, Donal R. Myrick, the former President and CEO of the Company, filed a complaint for
alleged breach of employment contracts and damages associated with a delayed stock sale. The
dispute was submitted to mediation in October 2005 and the Company is negotiating with Mr. Myrick
for a settlement and dismissal of all claims in this action.
Harassment Suit
As previously reported, three former employees filed suits against the Company in December 2002 in
the United States District Court in Arizona alleging violation of civil rights, discrimination,
harassment, hostile work environment and retaliation. As also previously reported, the plaintiffs
secured a judgment against the Company in January 2005, for which the Company had accrued an
expense of approximately $238,000 at June 30, 2005. The Company fully settled the judgment and all
related claims for a payment of $188,000.
Garrison Lawsuit
On February 22, 2005, Spectrum Sciences & Software, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company
(SSSI), filed suit against former employees Donald L. Garrison, David M. Hatfield and their
current employer Control Systems Research, Inc. SSSI alleges that during their employment at SSSI,
Mr. Garrison and Mr. Hatfield were actively involved with the development and application of the
Safe Range project, a proprietary SSSI product, and other non-technical company information such as
employee wage data and personnel files, marketing plans, bidding
information and information about other SSSI contracts and affairs. The suit alleges that Garrison
and Hatfield used SSSIs confidential and proprietary information (in violation of their signed
agreements for Protection of Proprietary Information) to improperly compete with their new employer
(Control Systems Research, Inc.) against SSSI with regards to the Safe Range program and other
related government contracts. The five counts identified in the lawsuit include breach of
