1. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of GTEC have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. As a result, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements reflect all necessary adjustments (all of which are of a normal, recurring nature) that are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for such periods. The information disclosed in the notes to the financial statements for these periods is unaudited. For further information, refer to the financial statements and footnotes included in GTEC’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The current period’s results of operations are not necessarily indicative of results that may be achieved for any future period.
2. Business Overview
GTEC is a diversified technology and engineering services firm that provides mission-critical technology-based systems, solutions and services for national security agencies and programs of the U.S. government.
The Company’s offerings include software engineering services, network and communications management technology, decision support systems for command and control, maritime navigation systems, counter-terrorism intelligence and analysis, data analysis and fusion tools, identifying management solutions and providing innovative expeditionary systems to support troop mobility and survivability worldwide. We derived 83% and 88% of our revenue as a prime contractor for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and year ended December 31, 2009, respectively. Department of Defense provided 70% and 75% of total revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and year ended December 31, 2009, respectively.

4. Bank Loans
On February 3, 2010, the Company together with its subsidiaries (collectively as Borrowers) and its existing lender replaced its existing credit facility of $29,000 with a new credit facility of up to $50,000, including the extension of letters of credit up to an aggregate of $2,500. The new facility matures on January 31, 2013. All borrowings continue to be collateralized by substantially all of the Company’s assets. Loans under the facility take the form of, at the Company’s election, an index rate loan, a base rate loan, or a LIBOR loan, with the interest rate determined by the form of the loan. An index rate loan will bear interest at a rate equal to the one-month LIBOR plus the applicable margin. A base rate loan will bear interest at a rate equal to the highest of the prime rate, the federal funds rate plus 50 basis points, or the one-month LIBOR, each plus the applicable margin. A LIBOR loan will bear interest at a rate equal to the one-, two-, three- or six-month LIBOR plus the applicable margin. For all loans, the applicable margin adjusts quarterly based on the Borrowers’ funded debt ratio. The maximum applicable margin is 3.00%. The funded debt ratio is the ratio of debt to EBITDA for the Borrowers and their subsidiaries on a consolidated basis. The Company is required to meet certain financial and other covenants, including but not limited to, a Minimum Net Worth test, a Fixed Charges Coverage Ratio and a Maximum Funded Debt Ratio, as defined in the agreement. The Company was in compliance with the affirmative and restrictive covenants at September 30, 2010. At December 31, 2009, we had $3,686 outstanding on our revolving line of credit and we had no debt outstanding at September 30, 2010.

5. Stock-Based Compensation Plans
Effective November 25, 2009, the Company adopted the Global Defense Technology & Systems, Inc., 2009 Performance Incentive Plan, which we refer to as the Plan. The Plan authorizes the issuance of options to purchase shares of common stock and the grant of bonus stock awards, restricted common stock awards, stock appreciation rights, deferred shares, performance shares and performance units. Options previously granted by GNA under the SFA Inc. 2007 Stock Option Plan, which we refer to as the SFA Plan, have been assumed under the Plan.
As of September 30, 2010, the maximum number of shares of common stock that may be subject to awards is 1,125,000, including the 492,127 shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of options granted under the SFA Plan and assumed under the Plan. A compensation committee made up of members of the Company’s Board of Directors administers the plan. As of September 30, 2010, the Plan had 296,310 shares available for future grants. The options generally vest on a straight-line basis over 4 years and expire after 10 years.
On January 4, 2010, the Company granted 20,000 shares of restricted stock to our Chief Executive Officer that vest over a three year period with a grant date fair value of $327 based on the price of the stock at the date of grant. The weighted average remaining life of all outstanding restricted stock is 2.2 years as of September 30, 2010.

Stock based compensation is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite vesting period using a Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model. The Company recognizes the effect of expected forfeitures of equity awards by estimating an expected forfeiture rate. Amounts recognized for expected forfeitures are subsequently adjusted quarterly at major vesting dates to reflect actual forfeitures.
All issuances of stock options utilized an exercise price equal to the fair value of the Company’s common stock on the grant date. Prior to our initial public offering, the fair value of the common stock was determined by management with requisite valuation expertise and was performed on a contemporaneous basis at or near the award grant date. Determining the fair value of common stock requires making complex and subjective judgments. Management used the market approach to estimate the Company’s enterprise value at each date at which options were granted. There is inherent uncertainty in market multiple estimates. The enterprise value was then used to determine the fair value of the Company’s common stock and utilized in calculating stock-based compensation.
After completion of our initial public offering, the exercise price is equal to the closing price listed on the Nasdaq Global Market on the day of grant.
As of September 30, 2010, there was approximately $1,917 of unrecognized stock-compensation expense related to unvested stock options, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.7 years.
6. Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share, or EPS, exclude dilution and are computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflect potential dilution that could occur from potential common stock outstanding during the period. Potential common stock, for purposes of determining diluted EPS, includes the effects of dilutive restricted stock and stock options. The effect of such potential common stock is computed using the treasury stock method or the if-converted method, as applicable.

As such, 466,523 and 218,298 options for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, respectively, were excluded from the Company’s earnings per share calculations due to their anti-dilutive impact.
7. Related Party Transactions
GNA provides subcontracting services as well as support for security, information technology and other administrative services to its affiliate, Global Strategies Group Holding, S.A. and its subsidiaries (referred to collectively as “GLOBAL”).
Included in revenue are services rendered to GLOBAL for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 in the amount of $1,173 and $1,386, respectively. Included in due from affiliates related to these services at September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 are $259 and $350, respectively.
Also included in due from affiliates are amounts provided by GNA to Global Strategies Group (Integrated Security), Inc. (“GIS”), an affiliate of GLOBAL, as short-term advances for payroll and operating expenses. As of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, accounts receivable from GIS for such advances were $123 and $759, respectively.
Included in selling, general and administrative expense are services rendered by GLOBAL for corporate management and certain administrative expenses to the Company for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 in the amount of $1,580. These services ceased upon completion of our initial public offering in November 2009.
8. Contingencies
From time to time, we are involved in legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. Currently, we do not have any litigation pending the outcome of which, if unfavorable to us, would have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
9. Income Taxes
The provision for income taxes amounted to $2,466 and $1,988 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, the effective tax rate was 32.2%. The 2010 tax rate reflects a tax rate of 39.7% less discrete tax benefits of $602. The discrete tax benefits in 2010 include $190 related to an increase in our deferred tax assets as a result of increases in our estimated 2010 federal and state tax rates from 2009 and an additional $412 related to the reversal of the valuation allowance against state tax net operating losses as a result of a legal reorganization. For the nine months ended September 30, 2009, the effective tax rate was 41.2% due to interest and operating costs incurred in corporate entities that previously did not file consolidated state income tax returns; thus we were unable to recognize state tax benefits related to these costs. These entities were merged in November 2009.
10. Information on Reportable Segments
The Company defines its operating segments based on the way the chief operating decision maker, CODM, manages the operations within the Company for the allocation of resources, decision making and performance assessment.
The Company operates in two reportable segments: Technology and Intelligence Services, or TIS, and Force Mobility and Modernization Systems, or FMMS. The Company’s operating segments are aggregated into two reportable segments based on the similarity of their economic and other characteristics, including the nature of the systems and services offered. The Company’s TIS reportable segment provides technology-based solutions and services to the U.S. government while the Company’s FMMS reportable segment provides mission-critical products to the U.S. government.

11. Subsequent Events – Business Combinations

On October 1, 2010, the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding stock of Zytel Corporation (now known as GTEC Cyber Solutions, Inc. or Cyber Solutions) for $26,800 in cash and funded the transaction with our senior revolving credit facility. The purchase price is subject to a two-way adjustment based upon the working capital at closing versus the target working capital. Out of the purchase price due at closing, $4,530 was placed into escrow to be used if necessary to satisfy certain indemnification obligations of the selling stockholder. The initial purchase accounting for the transaction is expected to be determined in the fourth quarter of 2010. We have identified certain intangible assets including customer relationship, contract backlog, and trademarks. We expect a majority of the purchase price to be attributable to goodwill based on the specialized nature of the workforce. The amount of goodwill and intangible assets will be disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2010.

Cyber Solutions, based in the Ft. Meade, Maryland area, is an industry leader in the design, development and deployment of next generation, net-centric mission solutions that collect, protect, and analyze vital information in cyberspace, leveraging its core competencies in systems engineering and architecture, software development and intelligence analysis.

On November 4, 2010, the Company announced that it had entered into a definitive agreement with Signature Consultants, LLC to acquire 100% of the ownership interests in its subsidiary Signature Government Solutions, LLC (SGS), for $52,500 in cash. The purchase price is subject to a two-way adjustment based upon the working capital at closing versus the target working capital. Out of the purchase price due at closing, $5,250 will be placed into escrow to be used if necessary to satisfy certain indemnification obligations of the selling stockholder. GTEC has secured commitments for a $100,000 revolving credit facility to finance the transaction, which will replace the current $50,000 revolving credit facility. The new facility will contain similar terms to the current agreement, will have a three year maturity and contains an accordion provision to allow an additional $40,000 in potential capacity.

SGS, founded in 2003 and headquartered in Herndon, Virginia, delivers sophisticated information technology, cyber security and intelligence analysis services in support of high priority mission systems and cyber security programs within the Intelligence Community. All of its direct employees hold Top Secret/Sensitive Compartmented Information clearances or higher and, in addition to Northern Virginia, the company has a substantial operation in the Ft. Meade, Maryland area.

12. Subsequent Events – Change of Accounting Principle

Historically, our annual impairment review of goodwill has been completed as of December 31.  Effective October 1, 2010, we adopted a new accounting policy whereby our annual impairment review of goodwill will be performed as of October 1 instead of December 31 of each year.  An impairment analysis of goodwill was last completed as of December 31, 2009 at which time no impairment was recorded.  The change in our annual goodwill impairment testing date was made to better align the annual goodwill impairment test with the timing of the presentation of the Company’s annual strategic planning process.  The change in accounting principle does not delay, accelerate or avoid an impairment charge. Accordingly, the Company believes that the accounting change described above is preferable under the circumstances.

ITEM 2. Management Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Forward-looking statements
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including the section titled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” contains forward-looking statements regarding our business, financial condition, results of operations, and prospects. There are statements made herein, which may not address historical facts and, therefore, could be interpreted to be forward-looking statements as that term is defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such statements are subject to factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from anticipated results. The factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated include, but are not limited to, the following:
    Our dependence on our contracts with Federal Government agencies, particularly within the U.S. Department of Defense, for substantially all our revenue; a change in funding of our contracts due to bid protests; changes in spending patterns; changes in contract type, particularly changes from cost-plus or time-and-material type contracts to fixed-price type contracts; or changes in priorities due to the change in administration
    Changes in Federal Government programs or requirements, including the increased use of small business providers or curtailment of the Federal Government’s use of professional service providers (insourcing)
    Failure to achieve contract awards in connection with recompetes for present business and/or competition for new business
    Competitive factors, such as pricing pressures and competition to hire and retain employees (particularly those with security clearances)
    Failure to identify and successfully integrate future acquired companies or businesses into our operations or to realize any accretive or synergistic effects from such acquisitions
    Current economic market conditions, specifically the credit and liquidity crisis, (i) have caused the interest rate on our outstanding debt to fluctuate and such interest rate could increase significantly in the future; (ii) could cause our non-government business partners, prime or subcontractors, to default on contracts which may impact our ability to perform; and (iii) could impact the cost of future acquisitions significantly above our current cost of debt
    Economic conditions in the United States, including conditions that result from terrorist activities or war; material changes in laws or regulations applicable to our businesses, particularly legislation affecting (i) Government contracts for services, (ii) outsourcing of activities that have been performed by the Government, (iii) delays related to agency specific funding freezes, and (iv) competition for task orders under Government Wide Acquisition Contracts (GWACs) and/or schedule contracts with the General Services Administration
    Our own ability to achieve the objectives of near-term or long-range business plans.
Some of these important factors are outlined under Item 1A. Risk Factors and elsewhere in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009, filed with the SEC, and from time to time, in other filings with the SEC, such as our Forms 8-K and 10-Q. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee our future results, level of activity, or performance. We undertake no obligation to update publicly or revise any forward-looking statements. You should not place undue reliance on the forward-looking statements.

We further enhanced our capabilities through the acquisition of Zytel Corporation (now known as GTEC Cyber Solutions, Inc. or Cyber Solutions) on October 1, 2010. Cyber Solutions is based in the Ft. Meade, Maryland area, is an industry leader in the design, development and deployment of next generation, net-centric mission solutions that collect, protect, and analyze vital information in cyberspace, leveraging its core competencies in systems engineering and architecture, software development and intelligence analysis. In addition, on November 4, 2010, the Company announced it had entered into a definitive agreement with Signature Consultants, LLC to acquire its subsidiary Signature Government Solutions, LLC (SGS), for $52.5 million in cash. SGS, founded in 2003 and headquartered in Herndon, Virginia, delivers sophisticated information technology, cyber security and intelligence analysis services in support of high priority mission systems and cyber security programs within the Intelligence Community. All of its direct employees hold Top Secret/Sensitive Compartmented Information clearances or higher and, in addition to Northern Virginia, the company has a substantial operation in the Ft. Meade, Maryland area.
We conduct our business through two reportable segments: Technology and Intelligence Services, or TIS, and Force Mobility and Modernization Systems, or FMMS. Through our TIS segment, we provide a broad range of technology-based services and solutions, including counter-terrorism and intelligence solutions and command, control and decision support solutions, to customers in the Department of Defense, the Intelligence Community and other U.S. agencies. Through our FMMS segment, we provide customers, primarily in the Department of Defense, with solutions that entail the design, engineering and integration of highly mobile mission support systems. The following table shows our revenue from the customer group as a percentage of total revenue for the period shown:
                 
    Nine Months Ended September 30,  
    2010     2009

The Department of Justice counter-terrorism contract is a time-and-materials contract for analytical and information technology services in support of a critical counter-terrorism program. The original Department of Justice counter-terrorism contract ended on September 8, 2009. We received a new contract from the Department of Justice extending our work for an additional five years beginning on September 9, 2009, consisting of a base period of one year and options for four additional years. The ceiling of the new contract is $200 million and provides the opportunity for expansion of our services above the current level. The estimated value of our current level of services on the contract over the five year contract period is approximately $146 million. We believe that the $200 million ceiling in the new contract provides the customer with the ability to expand the level of services to be procured from us over the term of the contract. The table above reflects revenue on the original contract and new contract for their respective periods.
The contract with U.S. Army TACOM (Tank-Automotive and Armaments Command) is a fixed-price contract for the delivery of Tactical Water Purification Systems, which we refer to as TWPS. The decrease in revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2009 was partly the result of the contract ending for ordering purposes on January 31, 2010 as well as a large order received in January 2009. While the demand for and revenue from TWPS currently being procured under the U.S. Army TACOM contract is declining, we may receive additional orders for TWPS under other contract vehicles in the future. We also believe that there will be demand to replace older TWPS with new, more technologically advanced water purification systems that may have greater capacity than the current TWPS we are delivering under the U.S. Army TACOM contract. On June 15, 2010 we were awarded a five year, $45 million ID/IQ contract to provide Expeditionary Water Packaging Systems to the U.S. Marines and we continue to pursue other revenue opportunities related to our water purification technologies.

The contract with the U.S. Army Aberdeen Test Center is a fixed-price/time-and-materials task order contract for a broad range of engineering, design, test and evaluation and integration services and ends for ordering purposes on August 31, 2014. The U.S. Army Aberdeen Test Center contract has been used to procure support from us on a number of our field support systems, as well as for engineering services unrelated to these systems. We believe that our customer will continue to use this contract to support our current systems, as well as new systems that will be required to meet the continuing demand for solutions to promote force mobility and modernization.
The contract with the U.S. Army for a field feeding system is a fixed-price contract that ended for ordering purposes on April 15, 2010. In March and April 2010, we received an additional $49 million in field feeding system orders from the U.S. Army. We continue to expect additional revenue on other variants of our field feeding systems from the U.S. Army and other branches of the military under other contracts.
We derive our revenue from contracts directly with the U.S. government or as a subcontractor to other providers of services to the U.S. government. The following table shows our revenue as prime contractor and as subcontractor as a percentage of our total revenue:
                 
    Nine Months Ended September 30,  
    2010     2009  
Prime contract revenue
    82.9 %     88.4 %
Subcontract revenue
    17.1 %     11.6 %
 
           
Total revenue
    100.0 %     100.0 %
 
           
We provide our services and solutions under three types of contracts: fixed-price, time-and-materials and cost-plus. Our product revenue, which is included in our FMMS segment, is primarily derived from fixed-price contracts. Our service revenue, which is included in our TIS segment, is primarily derived from cost-plus and time-and-materials contracts. Our contract mix varies from year to year due to numerous factors, including our business strategies and U.S. government procurement objectives. The following table shows our revenue from each of these types of contracts as a percentage of our total revenue:
                 
    Nine Months Ended September 30,  
    2010     2009  
Fixed-price
    51.5 %     58.8 %
Time-and-materials
    35.7 %     29.3 %
Cost-plus
    12.8 %     11.9 %
 
           
Total revenue
    100.0 %     100.0 %
 
           
Fixed-price contracts. Under fixed-price contracts, we perform specific tasks for a fixed price. Revenue for fixed-price contracts is recognized on the percentage-of-completion method using costs incurred in relation to total estimated costs, because these contracts require design, engineering and manufacturing performed to the customer’s specifications. Profits on fixed-price contracts result from the difference between the incurred costs and the revenue earned.
Time-and-materials contracts. Under time-and-materials contracts, we are reimbursed for labor at fixed hourly rates and generally reimbursed separately for allowable materials, costs and expenses. Revenue for time-and-materials contracts is recognized as services are performed, generally, on the basis of contract-allowable labor hours worked multiplied by the contract-defined billing rates, plus the direct costs and indirect cost burdens associated with materials and other direct expenses used in performance of the contract. Profits on time-and-material contracts result from the difference between the cost of services performed and the contract-defined billing rates for these services.
Cost-plus contracts. Under cost-plus contracts, we are reimbursed for costs that are determined to be reasonable, allowable and allocable to the contract and paid a fee representing the profit. Revenue on cost-plus contracts is recognized as services are performed, generally, based on the allowable costs incurred during the period, plus any recognizable earned fee.

Two counter-terrorism contracts awarded in the latter half of 2009 increased revenue by $3.5 million in the three months ended September 30, 2010.
FMMS segment revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2010 decreased $3.4 million, or 10.4%, to $29.7 million, compared to $33.1 million for the same period in 2009. Our FMMS revenue has decreased in the quarter due to a slowdown in contract orders over the last few quarters. This resulted from delays in contract awards as a result of the delayed passage of the federal government fiscal year 2010 defense appropriations bill and the timing of the decision to increase troop levels in Afghanistan which caused our customers to defer major purchasing decisions until later in 2010. In September 2010, we announced two Expeditionary Tricon Systems (ETS) awards for $63.8 million that will contribute significantly to the FMMS segment beginning in the fourth quarter 2010.

    83.7 %     80.5 %
The increase in cost of revenue for the TIS segment was primarily due to higher purchases of labor, equipment and materials and to other direct costs. The decrease in our cost of revenue for our FMMS segment was due to our decrease in revenue for the period. However, the cost of revenue as a percent of revenue increased for FMMS due to the completion of more profitable contracts in prior quarters and a return to historical gross margins for the FMMS segment.
SG&A Expenses. The following table summarizes total SG&A expenses for the following periods:

Segment SG&A expenses were higher in the three months ended September 30, 2009 compared to the current period as we experienced an increase in management and marketing activities for both segments related to significant capture efforts in 2009.
Corporate SG&A expenses include expenses that are not under control of our segment managers and generally are not allowable as costs that can be charged against our government contracts.
Stock-based compensation expense increased due to additional stock option and restricted stock grants.
During the three months ended September 30, 2009, we paid management fees to an affiliate of GLOBAL of $0.5 million. Subsequent to our November 2009 initial public offering, we no longer pay any management fees to such affiliate or any other affiliate of GLOBAL.
Other corporate expenses include other costs that are not allocable to our reportable segments. Generally, these are corporate costs that are not allowed to be allocated to government contracts, or costs which management has decided to not recover from our government customers. We incurred $0.5 million in merger and acquisition related expenses during the three months ended September 30, 2010.
Total SG&A expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2010 also reflect the additional expenses associated with being a public company since the completion of our initial public offering in November 2009.
Amortization of Intangible Assets. Amortization expense for the three months ended September 30, 2010 decreased $1.4 million to $0.7 million, as compared to $2.1 million for the same period in 2009. The decrease year over year was the effect of certain intangible assets reaching the end of their useful lives.

TIS segment operating income increased for the period due to the increase in revenue. FMMS segment operating income decreased due to a decrease in revenue and the return to historical gross margins. Total operating income benefited from lower amortization of intangibles due to the certain assets reaching the end of their useful lives.
Interest Expense, net. Interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2010 was nearly zero, compared to $0.5 million for the same period in 2009, representing a decrease of $0.5 million. The decrease in interest expense was due to paying off the balance of our credit facility during the first quarter of 2010 and paying off other bank and intercompany loans upon completion of our initial public offering in November 2009.
Provision for Income Taxes. The provision for income taxes amounted to $0.7 million and $0.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. For the three months ended September 30, 2010, the effective tax rate was 25.9% due a legal restructuring that allows the Company to utilize a $0.4 million net operating loss.

TIS segment revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 increased $9.4 million, or 14.5%, to $74.3 million, compared to $64.9 million for the same period in 2009. Two counter-terrorism contracts awarded in the latter half of 2009 increased revenue by $8.7 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2010.
FMMS segment revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 decreased $16.0 million, or 17.3%, to $76.2 million, compared to $92.1 million for the same period in 2009. Our FMMS revenue has decreased in the year due to a slowdown in contract orders over the last few quarters. This resulted from delays in contract awards as a result of the delayed passage of the federal government fiscal year 2010 defense appropriations bill and the timing of the decision to increase troop levels in Afghanistan which caused our customers to defer major purchasing decisions until later in 2010. In September 2010, we announced two Expeditionary Tricon Systems (ETS) awards for $63.8 million that will contribute significantly to the FMMS segment beginning in the fourth quarter 2010.
Cost of Revenue. The following table summarizes cost of revenue by reportable segments:

The increase in cost of revenue for the TIS segment was primarily due to higher purchases of labor, equipment and materials and to other direct costs. The decrease in our cost of revenue for the FMMS segment was due to lower revenue.

TIS segment operating income for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 increased $0.8 million, or 14.0%, to $6.4 million, compared to $5.6 million for the same period in 2009, due to the increase in revenue. FMMS segment operating income for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 decreased $2.8 million, or 23.6%, to $8.9 million, compared to $11.7 million for the same period in 2009, due to the decrease in revenue and an increase in management and marketing activities. Total operating income benefited from lower amortization of intangibles due to the certain assets reaching the end of their useful lives.
Interest Expense, net. Interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 was $0.1 million, compared to $1.5 million for the same period in 2009. The decrease in interest expense was due to paying off the balance of our credit facility during the first quarter of 2010 and paying off other bank and intercompany loans upon completion of our initial public offering in November 2009.
Provision for Income Taxes. The provision for income taxes amounted to $2.5 million and $2.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, the effective tax rate was 32.2%. The 2010 tax rate reflects a tax rate of 39.7% less discrete tax benefits of $0.6 million. The discrete tax benefits in 2010 include $0.2 million related to an increase in our deferred tax assets as a result of increases in our estimated 2010 federal and state tax rates from 2009 and an additional $0.4 million related to the reversal of a valuation allowance against state tax net operating losses as a result of a legal reorganization. For the nine months ended September 30, 2009, the effective tax rate was 41.2% due to interest and operating costs incurred in corporate entities that previously did not file consolidated state income tax returns; thus we were unable to recognize state tax benefits related to these costs. These entities were merged in November 2009.

Contract Backlog
We define total backlog as the amount of revenue we expect to realize (i) over the remaining base contract performance period and (ii) from the exercise of option periods that we reasonably believe will be exercised, in each case from signed contracts in existence as of the measurement date. We also include in backlog our estimates of revenue from future delivery orders on requirements and ID/IQ contracts. At times, our estimates of future revenue on such contracts are less than the contract ceiling. We define funded backlog as the portion of our total backlog for which funding is currently appropriated and obligated to us under a signed contract or task order by the purchasing agency, or otherwise authorized for payment to us by a customer upon completion of a specified portion of work. Our funded backlog does not include the full potential value of our contracts, because the Congress often appropriates funds to be used by an agency for a particular program or contract only on a yearly or quarterly basis, even though the contract may call for performance over a number of years. As a result, contracts typically are only partially funded at any point during their term, and all or some of the work to be performed under the contracts may remain unfunded unless and until the Congress makes subsequent appropriations and the procuring agency allocates funding to the contract. Total backlog may fluctuate from period to period depending on our success in winning new contracts and the timing of contract awards, renewals, modifications and cancellations.
The following table depicts our backlog as of the end of the respective periods:

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our primary liquidity needs are for financing working capital, capital expenditures, and making strategic acquisitions. Our $50 million revolving line of credit, current cash balance, and cash flow from operations are sufficient to continue to meet our normal working capital and capital expenditure requirements. As part of our growth strategy, we may pursue acquisitions that could require us to obtain additional debt or issue equity. As of September 30, 2010, we had no outstanding balance on our revolving credit facility. Refer to Note 4 in the Notes to our Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on our credit facility and Note 11 for the subsequent event discussing our recent acquisition activity. After the two acquisitions, remaining credit available from our new credit facility and cash flow from operations will be sufficient to meet our working capital and capital expenditure requirements.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.
Critical Accounting Policies
Historically, our annual impairment review of goodwill has been completed as of December 31.  Effective October 1, 2010, we adopted a new accounting policy whereby our annual impairment review of goodwill will be performed as of October 1 instead of December 31 of each year.  An impairment analysis of goodwill was last completed as of December 31, 2009 at which time no impairment was recorded.  The change in our annual goodwill impairment testing date was made to better align the annual goodwill impairment test with the timing of the presentation of the Company’s annual strategic planning process.  The change in accounting principle does not delay, accelerate or avoid an impairment charge. Accordingly, the Company believes that the accounting change described above is preferable under the circumstances. There have been no other significant changes to our Critical Accounting Policies during 2010. Refer to our Critical Accounting Policies section in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009, filed with the SEC.
Item 3. Qualitative and Quantitative Disclosures About Market Risk
As of September 30, 2010, we had no debt outstanding related to our credit facility which could be subject to interest rate risk.
Additionally, we are subject to credit risks associated with our cash and accounts receivable. The credit risk associated with our cash is limited as it is held with highly rated financial institutions. We also believe that our credit risk associated with accounts receivable is limited as they are primarily with the Federal Government or prime contractors working with the Federal Government.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended). Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act are: (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms; and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in the internal control over financial reporting during the Company’s last fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, internal control over financial reporting.
PART II: OTHER INFORMATION
