TELOS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited and Not Reviewed)
Note 1. General and Basis of Presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements and these notes have not been reviewed by an independent public accountant as required by Rule 10-01(d) of Regulation S-X. The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Telos Corporation and its subsidiaries, including Ubiquity.com, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary, Xacta Corporation and Telos Delaware, Inc., all of whose issued and outstanding share capital is owned by Ubiquity.com, Inc. (collectively, the Company). The Company has applied the equity method of accounting for its investment in Enterworks, Inc. (Enterworks). The Company has a 60% ownership interest in Telos Identity Management Solutions, LLC and has consolidated its results of operations (see Note 2 Sale of Assets). The Company also has a 60% ownership interest in Teloworks, Inc. (Teloworks, formerly Enterworks International, Inc.), and has consolidated its results of operations (see Note 3 Investment in Enterworks). Significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated.
In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (which include normal recurring adjustments) and reclassifications necessary for their fair presentation in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of fiscal year performance for a variety of reasons including, but not limited to, the impact of seasonal and short-term variations. The Company has continued to follow the accounting policies (including its critical accounting policies) set forth in the consolidated financial statements included in its 2006 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. Additionally, as more fully described in Note 7 Contingencies and Subsequent Events, the Company is involved in an outstanding legal matter and an unfavorable outcome from this matter could result in a material adverse effect upon the Companys financial position and results of operations. Managements plans with respect to this matter, as well as other matters, are also disclosed in Note 7. These financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year financial statements to conform to the classifications used in the current period.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. SFAS No. 159 allows an entity the irrevocable option to elect fair value for the initial and subsequent measurement for certain financial assets and liabilities on a contract-by-contract basis. Subsequent changes in fair value of these financial assets and liabilities would be recognized in earnings when they occur. SFAS No. 159 is effective for the Companys financial statements for the year beginning January 1, 2008, with earlier adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect and timing that adoption of this statement will have on its consolidated financial position and results of operations.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157 Fair Value Measurements, which defines fair value, establishes a framework for consistently measuring fair value under GAAP, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. SFAS No. 157 is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2008, and the provisions of SFAS No. 157 will be applied prospectively as of that date. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that adoption of this statement will have on its consolidated financial position or results of operations.
In September 2006, the SEC released Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 108, which provides guidance in the quantification and correction of financial statement misstatements. SAB No. 108 specifies that companies should apply a combination of the rollover and iron curtain methodologies when making determinations of materiality. The rollover method quantifies a misstatement based on the amount of the error originating in the current year income statement. The iron curtain approach quantifies misstatements based on the effects of correcting the misstatement existing in the balance sheet at the end of the current year, regardless of the year(s) of origination. SAB No. 108 instructs companies to quantify the misstatement under both methodologies and, if either method results in the determination of a material error, the Company must adjust its financial statements to correct the error. SAB No. 108 also reminds preparers that a change from an accounting principle that is not generally accepted to a principle that is generally accepted is a correction of an error. The Bulletin is effective for annual financial statements covering the first fiscal year ending after November 15, 2006. The adoption of this Bulletin did not have a material effect on the Companys results of operations or financial condition.
In July 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. (FIN) 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes an interpretation of FASB Statement 109. FIN 48 prescribes a comprehensive model for recognizing, measuring, presenting and disclosing in the financial statements tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return, including a decision whether to file or not to file in a particular jurisdiction. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. If there are changes in net assets as a result of application of FIN 48, these will be accounted for as an adjustment to retained earnings. The adoption of this FIN did not have a material effect on the Companys financial position or results of operations.
In February 2006, The FASB issued SFAS No. 155, Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instrumentsan amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140. This statement amends SFASs No. 133 and 140 by permitting fair value remeasurement for any hybrid financial instrument with an embedded derivative that otherwise would require bifurcation; clarifying which interest-only strips and principal-only strips are not subject to the requirements of SFAS No. 133; establishing a requirement to evaluate interests in securitized financial assets to identify interests that are freestanding derivatives or that are hybrid financial instruments that contain an embedded derivative requiring bifurcation; clarifying that concentrations of credit risk in the form of subordination are not embedded derivatives; and amending SFAS No. 140 to eliminate the prohibition on a qualifying special-purpose entity from holding a derivative financial instrument that pertains to a beneficial interest other than another derivative financial instrument. The statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2006. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Companys financial position and results of operations.

Revenue Recognition
Revenues are recognized in accordance with SAB No. 101, Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements as amended by SAB No. 104, Revenue Recognition. The Company considers amounts earned upon evidence that an arrangement has been obtained, services are delivered, fees are fixed or determinable, and collectibility is reasonably assured. Additionally, revenues on arrangements requiring the delivery of more than one product or service are recognized in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) 00-21, Accounting for Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables except as the pronouncement states, on contracts where higher-level GAAP (such as Statement of Position (SOP) 97-2 as described below) prevails.
The Company recognizes revenues for software arrangements upon persuasive evidence of an arrangement, delivery of the software, and determination that collection of a fixed or determinable license fee is probable. Revenues for software licenses sold on a subscription basis are recognized ratably over the related license terms. For arrangements where the sale of software licenses are bundled with other products, including software products, upgrades and enhancements, post-contract customer support (PCS), and installation, the relative fair value of each element is determined based on vendor-specific objective evidence (VSOE). VSOE is defined by SOP 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition, and SOP 98-9, Modification of SOP 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition With Respect to Certain Transactions, and is limited to the price charged when the element is sold separately or if the element is not yet sold separately, the fair value assigned under the residual method or the price set by management having the relevant authority. If VSOE does not exist for the allocation of revenue to the various elements of the arrangement, all revenue from the arrangement is deferred until the earlier of the point at which (1) such VSOE does exist or (2) all elements of the arrangement are delivered. PCS revenues, upon being unbundled from a software license fee, are recognized ratably over the PCS period.
Substantially all of the Companys contracts are contracts with the U.S. Government involving the complex delivery of technology products and services. Accordingly, these contracts are within the scope of the AICPAs Audit and Accounting Guide for Audits of Federal Government Contractors. To the extent contracts are incomplete at the end of an accounting period; revenue is recognized on the percentage-of-completion method, on a proportional performance basis, using costs incurred in relation to total estimated costs.
Stock-Based Compensation
Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123(R), using the modified prospective transition method. Under this transition method, stock-based compensation costs recognized in the income statement as of June 30, 2006 in the amount of $103,000, include compensation costs for all unvested stock options that were granted prior to December 31, 2005, based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the original provisions of SFAS No. 123. There were no share-based payments granted on or after December 31, 2005. Results for prior periods have not been restated.

Note 2. Sale of Assets
On April 11, 2007, Telos Identity Management Solutions, LLC (TIMS LLC) was formed as a limited liability company under the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act. The Company contributed substantially all of the assets of its Identity Management business line and assigned its rights to perform under its U.S Government contract with the Defense Manpower Data Center (DMDC) to TIMS LLC. The net book value of assets contributed by the Company totaled $17,000. The Company owned 99.999% of the membership interests of TIMS LLC and certain private equity investors ("Investors") owned 0.001% of the membership interests of TIMS LLC. On April 20, 2007, the Company sold an additional 39.999% of the membership interests to the Investors in exchange for $6 million in cash consideration. Legal and investment banking expenses directly associated with the transaction amounted to approximately $190,000. As a participant of certain private equity investors, the brother of John B. Wood, the Companys Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, indirectly holds a 2% effective ownership interest in TIMS LLC.
The parties have signed an operating agreement which provides for a Board of Directors comprised of five (5) members. The operating agreement also provides for two subclasses of membership units, Classes A (the Company) and B (the Investors). The Class A membership unit owns 60% of TIMS LLC, and as such is entitled to receive 60% of the profits, and to appoint three (3) members of the Board of Directors. The Class B membership unit owns 40% of TIMS LLC, and as such is entitled to receive 40% of the profits, and to appoint two (2) members of the Board of Directors.
As indicated in the operating agreement, one of the Class A members will be designated the Chairman of the Board. John B. Wood, Chairman and CEO of the Company will be designated as the Chairman of the Board of TIMS LLC. The Company has entered into a corporate services agreement with TIMS LLC whereby the Company will provide certain administrative support services to TIMS LLC, including but not limited to finance, accounting and human resources services.
And as indicated above, the Company owns 60% of TIMS LLC, therefore continues to account for the contributed assets using the consolidation method.

Note 3. Investment in Enterworks
Enterworks, Inc.
As of June 30, 2007, the Company owns 671,301 shares of common stock, 729,732 shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock, 1,793,903 shares of Series B-1 Preferred Stock, and 8,571,429 shares of Series D Preferred Stock of Enterworks, Inc. (Enterworks), representing a fully diluted ownership percentage of 10.6%. Since its initial investment in Enterworks, the Company has accounted for such investment as prescribed by APB Opinion No. 18, The Equity Method of Accounting for Investments in Common Stock, and continues to do so due to the Companys continued significant influence through its representation on the Board of Directors of Enterworks. The Companys ownership percentage changed from 10.8% as of March 31, 2007 to 10.6% as of June 30, 2007, due to the completion of certain transactions related to Enterworks March 2007 private financing (disclosed in the Companys 2006 Form 10-K and March 2007 Form 10-Q).
Effective January 1, 2007, Enterworks agreed to provide the Company with maintenance and OEM technical product support associated with the worldwide, non-exclusive, perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free, fully paid-up license for the EPX software purchased in December 2003. In accordance with SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, intangible assets acquired shall be initially recognized and measured at fair value. As such, the Company has capitalized $850,000 in consideration paid for EPX software ($100,000 in 2003 and $750,000 in 2004), and has reflected this asset on the balance sheet in Other Assets. The net carrying value of the asset is $125,000 as of June 30, 2007. Scheduled amortization expense is $125,000 for the remainder of 2007.
Teloworks, Inc. (formerly Enterworks International, Inc.)
Pursuant to the Teloworks Agreements, the Company and Enterworks are required to fund the operations of Teloworks according to a funding schedule set forth in the Teloworks Agreements. The Company has expensed approximately $617,000 for the first six months of 2007, which represents approximately $375,000 of its proportionate share of Teloworks operating expenses, as well as additional funding pursuant to the March 2007 Enterworks private financing, as disclosed in the Companys 2006 Form 10-K and March 2007 Form 10-Q. The Company expensed approximately $707,000 for 2006.
As a result of the Enterworks private financing transaction as disclosed in the Companys 2006 Form 10-K and March 2007 Form 10-Q, the Company currently owns 60% of Teloworks.

Note 4. Debt Obligations
Senior Revolving Credit Facility
The Company has a $15 million revolving credit facility (the Facility) with Wells Fargo Foothill, Inc. (Wells Fargo Foothill) that is scheduled to mature on October 21, 2008. As of June 30, 2007, the interest rate on the Facility was 9.25%. The Facility has various covenants that may, among other things, affect the ability of the Company to merge with another entity, sell or transfer certain assets, pay dividends and make other distributions beyond certain limitations. The Facility also requires the Company to meet certain financial covenants, including Earnings before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA), as defined in the Facility. As of June 30, 2007, the Company was in compliance with the Facilitys financial and EBITDA covenants. Based on the Companys current projection of EBITDA, the Company expects that it will remain in compliance with its EBITDA covenants. Therefore, the Facility is classified as noncurrent as of June 30, 2007.
Effective January 1, 2007, the Company and Wells Fargo Foothill have amended the Facility to provide for availability block relief through April 30, 2007, to establish EBITDA covenants for 2007, to give consent to the formation of an LLC and subsequent sale of a portion of the membership interests in such LLC (disclosed in Note 2- Sale of Assets), and to provide various waivers in accordance with the Facility. The fees associated with such amendments amounted to $160,000.
At June 30, 2007, the Company had outstanding borrowings of $8.9 million and unused borrowing availability of $7.4 million on the Facility. As of August 10, 2007, the Company has availability under its current arrangement of approximately $4.0 million. The effective weighted average interest rates (including various fees charged pursuant to the Facility agreement and related amendments) on the outstanding borrowings under the Facility were 10.9% and 12.3% for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
Senior Subordinated Notes
In 1995, the Company issued Senior Subordinated Notes (Notes) to certain shareholders. Such Notes are classified as either Series B or Series C. The Series B Notes are secured by the Companys property and equipment, but subordinate to the security interests of Wells Fargo Foothill. The Series C Notes are unsecured. The maturity date of such Notes has been extended to October 31, 2008, with interest rates ranging from 14% to 17%, and paid quarterly on January 1, April 1, July 1, and October 1 of each year. The Notes can be prepaid at the Companys option; however, the Notes contain a cumulative payment premium of 13.5% per annum payable upon certain circumstances, which include, but are not limited to, an initial public offering of the Companys common stock or a significant refinancing (qualifying triggering event), to the extent that sufficient net proceeds from either of the above events are received to pay such cumulative prepayment premium. Due to the contingent nature of the cumulative premium payment, any associated premium expense can only be quantified and recorded subsequent to the occurrence of such a qualifying triggering event. At June 30, 2007, if such a qualifying triggering event had occurred, the cumulative premium payment would have been approximately $18.9 million.
The balances of the Series B and C Notes were $2.5 million and $2.7 million, respectively, each at June 30, 2007 and 2006.
The carrying value of the Notes as of June 30, 2007 and 2006 is consistent with the fair value as determined by an independent valuation performed by Navigant Consulting, Inc.
The following are maturities of obligations presented by year (in thousands):

Note 5. Redeemable Preferred Stock
Senior Redeemable Preferred Stock
The components of the authorized, issued and outstanding senior redeemable preferred stock (Senior Redeemable Preferred Stock) are 1,250 Series A-1 and 1,750 Series A-2 senior redeemable preferred shares, respectively, each with $.01 par value. The Senior Redeemable Preferred Stock carries a cumulative per annum dividend rate of 14.125% of its liquidation value of $1,000 per share. The dividends are payable semiannually on June 30 and December 31 of each year. The liquidation preference of the Senior Redeemable Preferred Stock is the face amount of the Series A-1 and A-2 ($1,000 per share), plus all accrued and unpaid dividends. The Company was required to redeem all shares and accrued dividends outstanding on October 31, 2005. However, on April 14, 2005, Toxford Corporation, the holder of 72.6% of the Senior Redeemable Preferred Stock, extended the maturity of its instruments to October 31, 2008. Subject to limitations set forth below, the Company was scheduled to redeem 27.4% of the outstanding shares and accrued dividends outstanding on October 31, 2005. Among the limitations with regard to the scheduled redemptions of the Senior Redeemable Public Preferred Stock is the legal availability of funds, pursuant to Maryland law. Maryland law also prohibits distributions (including redemptions and dividends) if, after the distribution is made, liabilities exceed assets. Accordingly, due to the Companys current financial position and the terms of the Wells Fargo Foothill agreement, it is precluded by Maryland law from making the scheduled payment. As the Senior Redeemable Preferred Stock is not due on demand, or callable, within twelve months from June 30, 2007, the remaining 27.4% is also classified as noncurrent.
The Senior Redeemable Preferred Stock is senior to all other present equity of the Company, including the 12% Cumulative Exchangeable Redeemable Preferred Stock. The Series A-1 ranks on a parity with the Series A-2. The Company has not declared dividends on its Senior Redeemable Preferred Stock since its issuance. At June 30, 2007 and 2006, cumulative undeclared, unpaid dividends relating to Senior Redeemable Preferred stock totaled $6.2 million and $5.8 million, respectively.
12% Cumulative Exchangeable Redeemable Preferred Stock
A maximum of 6,000,000 shares of 12% Cumulative Exchangeable Redeemable Preferred Stock (the Public Preferred Stock), par value $.01 per share, has been authorized for issuance. The Company initially issued 2,858,723 shares of the Public Preferred Stock pursuant to the acquisition of the Company during fiscal year 1990. The Public Preferred Stock was recorded at fair value on the date of original issue, November 21, 1989, and the Company makes periodic accretions under the interest method of the excess of the redemption value over the recorded value. The Company adjusted its estimate of accrued accretion in the amount of $1.5 million in the second quarter of 2006. Such accretion for the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 was $268,000 and $1,868,000, respectively, and for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 was $535,000 and $2,212,000, respectively. The Company declared stock dividends totaling 736,863 shares in 1990 and 1991. Since 1991, no other dividends, in stock or cash, have been declared. In November 1998, the Company retired 410,000 shares of the Public Preferred Stock. The total number of shares issued and outstanding at June 30, 2007 was 3,185,586. The stock is now quoted as TLSRP in the Pink Sheets. The aggregate fair value of the public preferred stock at June 30, 2007 was $61.3 million.
Since 1991, the Company has not declared or paid any dividends on its Public Preferred Stock, based upon its interpretation of restrictions in its Articles of Amendment and Restatement, limitations in the terms of the Public Preferred Stock instrument, specific dividend payment restrictions in the Facility entered into with Wells Fargo Foothill, to which the Public Preferred Stock is subject, and other senior obligations, and limitations pursuant to Maryland law (as discussed above). Pursuant to their terms, the Company is scheduled to redeem the Public Preferred Stock in five annual tranches during the period 2005 through 2009. However, due to its substantial senior obligations, limitations set forth in the covenants in the Facility, foreseeable capital and operational requirements, restrictions and prohibitions of its Articles of Amendment and Restatement, and provisions of Maryland law (as discussed above), the Company did not make the first two scheduled redemption payments, and assuming insufficient liquidity to undertake any stock redemption (which is presently unquantifiable), the Company believes that the likelihood is that it will not be able to make the remaining three scheduled redemption payments as set forth in the terms of the Public Preferred Stock. Accordingly, the Public Preferred Stock is not payable on demand, nor callable, for failure to redeem the Public Preferred Stock in accordance with the redemption schedule set forth in the instrument. The Company has therefore classified these securities as noncurrent liabilities on the balance sheet as of June 30, 2007 and 2006.
13
The Company and certain of its subsidiaries are parties to the Facility agreement with Wells Fargo Foothill, whose term expires on October 21, 2008. Under the Facility, the Company agreed that, so long as any credit under the Facility is available and until full and final payment of the obligations under the Facility, it would not make any distribution or declare or pay any dividends (other than common stock) on its stock, or purchase, acquire, or redeem any stock, or exchange any stock for indebtedness, or retire any stock. The Company continues to actively rely upon the Facility and expects to continue to do so until the Facility agreement expires on October 21, 2008.
Accordingly, as stated above, the Company will continue to classify the entirety of its obligation to redeem the Public Preferred Stock as a long-term obligation. The Wells Fargo Foothill Facility prohibits, among other things, the redemption of any stock, common or preferred, until October 21, 2008. The Public Preferred Stock by its terms cannot be redeemed if doing so would violate the terms of an agreement regarding the borrowing of funds or the extension of credit which is binding upon the Company or any subsidiary of the Company, and it does not include any other provisions that would otherwise require any acceleration of the redemption of or amortization payments with respect to the Public Preferred Stock. Thus, the Public Preferred Stock is not and will not be due on demand, nor callable, within twelve months from June 30, 2007. This classification is consistent with ARB No. 43 and SFAS No. 78, Classification of Obligations that are Callable by the Creditor.
Paragraph 7 of Chapter 3A of ARB No. 43 defines a current liability, as follows:
The term current liabilities is used principally to designate obligations whose liquidation is reasonably expected to require the use of existing resources properly classifiable as current assets, or the creation of other current liabilities. As a balance sheet category, the classification is intended to include obligations for items that have entered into the operating cycle, such as payables incurred in the acquisition of materials and supplies to be used in the production of goods or in providing services to be offered for sale; collections received in advance of the delivery of goods or performance of services; and debts that arise from operations directly related to the operating cycle, such as accruals for wages, salaries, commissions, rentals, royalties, and income and other taxes. Other liabilities whose regular and ordinary liquidation is expected to occur within a relatively short period of time, usually 12 months, are also intended for inclusion, such as short-term debts arising from the acquisition of capital assets, serial maturities of long-term obligations, amounts required to be expended within 1 year under sinking fund provisions, and agency obligations arising from the collection or acceptance of cash or other assets for the account of third persons.
Paragraph 5 of SFAS No. 78 provides the following:
The current liability classification is also intended to include obligations that, by their terms, are due on demand or will be due on demand within one year (or operating cycle, if longer) from the balance sheet date, even though liquidation may not be expected within that period. It is also intended to include long-term obligations that are or will be callable by the creditor either because the debtors violation of a provision of the debt agreement at the balance sheet date makes the obligation callable or because the violation, if not cured within a specified grace period, will make the obligation callable
If, pursuant to the terms of the Public Preferred Stock, the Company does not redeem the Public Preferred Stock in accordance with the scheduled redemptions described above, the terms of the Public Preferred Stock require the Company to discharge its obligation to redeem the Public Preferred Stock as soon as the Company is capable and permitted to do so.
Dividends on the Public Preferred Stock are paid by the Company, when and if declared by the Board of Directors, and are required to be paid out of legally available funds in accordance with Maryland law. The Public Preferred Stock accrues a semi-annual dividend at the annual rate of 12% ($1.20) per share, based on the liquidation preference of $10 per share and is fully cumulative. Dividends in additional shares of the Public Preferred Stock for 1990 and 1991 were paid at the rate of 6% of a share for each $.60 of such dividends not paid in cash. Dividends on the Public Preferred Stock are paid by the Company, when and if declared by the Board of Directors, and are required to be paid out of legally available funds in accordance with Maryland law. Maryland law also prohibits distributions (including redemptions and dividends) if, after the distribution is made, liabilities exceed assets. For the cash dividends payable since December 1, 1995, the Company has accrued $59.6 million and $55.7 million as of June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
In accordance with SFAS No. 150, both the Senior Redeemable Preferred Stock and the Public Preferred Stock have been reclassified from equity to liability. Consequently, for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, accretion and dividends totaling $2.7 and $14.5 million were accrued and reported as interest expense in the respective periods. Prior to the effective date of SFAS No. 150 on July 1, 2003, such dividends were charged to stockholders accumulated deficit.
The carrying value of the accrued Paid-in-Kind (PIK) dividends on the Public Preferred Stock for the period 1992 through June 1995 was $4.0 million. Had the Company accrued such dividends on a cash basis for this time period, the total amount accrued would have been $15.1 million. However, as a result of the redemption of the 410,000 shares of the Public Preferred Stock in November 1998, such amounts were adjusted to $3.5 million and $13.4 million, respectively. The Companys Charter, Section 2(a) states, Any dividends payable with respect to the Exchangeable Preferred Stock (Public Preferred Stock) during the first six years after the Effective Date (November 20, 1989) may be paid (subject to restrictions under applicable state law), in
14
the sole discretion of the Board of Directors, in cash or by issuing additional full paid and nonassessable shares of Exchangeable Preferred Stock . Accordingly, the Board had the discretion to pay the dividends for the referenced period in cash or by the issuance of additional shares of Public Preferred Stock. During the period in which the Company stated its intent to pay PIK dividends, the Company stated its intention to amend its charter to permit the payment of these by the issuance of additional shares of Public Preferred Stock. In consequence, as required by applicable accounting requirements, the accrual for these dividends was recorded at the estimated fair value (as the average of the ask and bid prices) on the dividend date of the shares of Public Preferred Stock that would have been (but were not) issued. This accrual was $9.9 million lower than the accrual would be if the intent was only to pay the dividends in cash, at that date or any later date.
In May 2006, the Board concluded that the accrual of PIK dividends for the period 1992 through June 1995 was no longer appropriate. Since 1995, the Company has disclosed in the footnotes to its audited financial statements the carrying value of the accrued PIK dividends on the Public Preferred Stock for the period 1992 through June 1995 was $4.0 million, and that had the Company accrued cash dividends during this time period, the total amount accrued would have been $15.1 million. As stated above, such amounts were adjusted to $3.5 million and $13.4 million, respectively, due to the redemption of 410,000 shares of the Public Preferred Stock in November 1998. On May 12, 2006, the Board of Directors voted to confirm that the Companys intent with respect to the payment of dividends on the Public Preferred Stock for this period changed from its previously stated intent to pay PIK dividends to that of an intent to pay cash dividends. The Company therefore changed the accrual from $3.5 million to $13.4 million, the result of which was to increase the Companys negative shareholder equity by the difference between those two amounts, $9.9 million, by recording an additional $9.9 million charge to interest expense for the second quarter of 2006, resulting in a balance of $90.4 million for the principal amount and all accrued dividends on the Public Preferred Stock as of June 30, 2007. This action is a change in accounting estimate as defined in SFAS No. 154, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections which replaces APB No. 20, Accounting Changes and SFAS No. 3, Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements.

The Companys business is not concentrated in a specific geographical area within the United States, as it has 5 separate facilities located in various states and the District of Columbia.
Note 7. Contingencies and Subsequent Events
Financial Condition and Liquidity
The consolidated financial statements for the quarter ended June 30, 2007 that are included in this Form 10-Q have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. However, primarily due to total expenses directly related to unreimbursed litigation-related and other legal expenses, the Companys working capital deficit was $3.1 million as of June 30, 2007. Total expenses related to litigation and other legal costs were $4.0 million (net of $0.6 million in reimbursements by the Companys insurers) for the first six months of 2007, $5.7 million (net of $3.1 million in reimbursements by the Companys insurers) for 2006, and $4.1 million for 2005. Such unreimbursed litigation-related and other legal expenses continue to adversely affect working capital, and $7.7 million of such expenses are unpaid as of June 30, 2007. While the Company is actively working with its vendors, including law firms, partners, subcontractors, and Wells Fargo Foothill to mitigate the effect of these working capital constraints during this period, there can be no assurances as to the continuing ability of the Company to successfully work with such parties to mitigate these current working capital constraints. See Note 4 Debt Obligations. Although no assurances can be given, the Company expects that it will be in compliance throughout the term of the amended credit facility with respect to the financial and other covenants.
The Company has previously disclosed the effect that the cyclicality of the U.S. Government buying season has historically had on revenues, specifically that the Company has experienced higher revenue in the third and fourth quarters than in the first and second quarters. While the Company has experienced significant revenue growth for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2007 over the prior year, there can be no assurances that such growth will continue for the remainder of the year or that revenue for the remainder of the year will exceed the revenue to date.
16
The Company believes that available cash and borrowings under the Facility will be sufficient to generate adequate amounts of cash to meet the Companys needs for operating expenses, debt service requirements, and projected capital expenditures for 2007.
Legal Proceedings
Costa Brava Partnership III, L.P.
As previously reported, Costa Brava Partnership III, L.P. (Costa Brava), a holder of the Companys 12% Cumulative Exchangeable Redeemable Preferred Stock (Public Preferred Stock), filed a lawsuit on October 17, 2005 in the Circuit Court of Baltimore City in the State of Maryland (Complaint) against the Company, its directors, and certain of its officers. According to Amendment No. 6 to Schedule 13D filed by Costa Brava on October 18, 2005, Costa Brava owns 15.9% of the outstanding Public Preferred Stock.
The Complaint alleges that the Company and its officers and directors have engaged in tactics to avoid paying mandatory dividends on the Public Preferred Stock, and asserts that the Public Preferred Stock has characteristics of debt instruments even though issued by the Company in the form of stock. Costa Brava alleges, among other things, that the Company and an independent committee of the Board of Directors have done nothing to improve what they claim to be the Companys insolvency, or its ability to redeem the Public Preferred Stock and pay accrued dividends. They also challenge the bonus payments to the Companys officers and directors, and consulting fees paid to the holder of a majority of the Companys common stock.
On December 22, 2005, the Companys Board of Directors established a special litigation committee (Special Litigation Committee) comprised of independent directors to review and evaluate the matters raised in the derivative suit filed against the Company by Costa Brava relating to the Companys Public Preferred Stock.
On January 9, 2006, the Company filed a motion to dismiss the Complaint or, in the alternative, to stay the action until the Special Litigation Committee had sufficient time to properly investigate and respond to Costa Bravas demands. On March 30, 2006, Judge Albert J. Matricciani granted the motions in part and denied them in part, but also denied the alternative request for a stay.
On February 8, 2006, Wynnefield Small Cap Value, L.P. (Wynnefield) filed a motion to intervene. An order was entered on May 25, 2006 by Judge Matricciani, designating Wynnefield Partners as the plaintiff with Costa Brava in the lawsuit. Costa Brava and Wynnefield are hereinafter referred to as Plaintiffs.
On April 28, 2006, the Company filed its answer to the Complaint.
On May 26, 2006, Plaintiffs filed a motion for a preliminary injunction to prevent the sale or disposal of Xacta Corporation or any of its assets until the lawsuit is resolved on the merits. Subsequently, an order was issued dismissing the motion without prejudice on October 26, 2006. However, the Plaintiffs objected to the wording of the order, insisting that the Company give Plaintiffs at least 30-day prior notice of any pending transaction. Nevertheless, on January 29, 2007, the Court reissued the order, dismissing the Plaintiffs motion without the notice requirement.
On August 30, 2006, Plaintiffs filed a motion for receivership following the resignations of six of the nine members of the Board of Directors on August 16, 2006. However, as previously reported on August 22, 2006, within a week of the resignations, three new independent board members were added. Then the announcement of two additional independent board members was made on October 31, 2006, bringing the total board membership to eight. Thus, the board and all board committees, including the Special Litigation Committee and the Transaction Committee have been fully reconstituted.
The hearing on the motion for receivership was held on October 18, 2006 in Baltimore, Maryland. As previously reported, the Plaintiffs motion for receivership was denied on November 29, 2006.
On February 15, 2007, the Plaintiffs filed their second motion for preliminary injunction to prevent the sale or disposal of any corporate assets outside the ordinary course until such time that two new Class D directors have been elected. This followed the Plaintiffs February 7, 2007 letter to the corporate secretary requesting a special meeting to elect new Class D directors to replace the two board seats left vacant by the resignations in August 2006. As previously reported, the special meeting is scheduled for May 31, 2007. The hearing on the motion was held on April 16, 2007. On April 19, 2007, Judge Matricciani issued an opinion denying the Plaintiffs motion.
On February 27, 2007, the Plaintiffs filed a second amended complaint and added Mr. John R. C. Porter, the Companys majority shareholder, as a defendant. The Company filed its motion to strike/dismiss and motion for summary judgment on March 28, 2007. The motion states that the court should strike or dismiss as a matter of law or on summary judgment certain claims. The hearing on the motion originally scheduled for April 25, 2007 took place on May 8, 2007 before Judge Matricciani.
17
On May 29, 2007, Telos filed a Counterclaim against the Plaintiffs alleging interference with its relationship with Wells Fargo Foothill and a related Motion for a Preliminary Injunction. On June 4, 2007, the Court entered a Consent Order in which the Plaintiffs agreed to cease and desist communications with Wells Fargo Foothill regarding a proceeding in England that settled over three years ago. The Plaintiffs filed their Opposition to the Motion for a Preliminary Injunction on June 19, 2007. Telos filed its Reply on July 9, 2007. The hearing on the Motion for Preliminary Injunction is currently scheduled for August 27, 2007.
On June 6, 2007, although the Court denied the Companys motion to strike the Second Amended Complaint and the motion for partial summary judgment, it granted the motion to dismiss in part and denied it in part. The following counts were dismissed: Count I alleging fraudulent conveyance; Count II requesting a permanent and preliminary injunction related to the fraudulent conveyance allegations; and Count V allegation against Mr. John Porter for shareholder oppression. The following counts were not dismissed: Count III requesting appointment of a receiver; Count IV requesting to dissolve the corporation; Count VI regarding the fiduciary duty of the directors; and Count VII regarding the fiduciary duty of the officers.
On July 20, 2007, counsel for the Special Litigation Committee issued its final report and found that there is no evidence to support the derivative claims, and no instance of bad faith, breach of duty or self-interested action or inaction. Further, Special Litigation Committee counsel recommended that the Company take all action necessary and appropriate that is consistent with these findings. Subsequently, on July 27, 2007, the Company filed a Motion to Stay the litigation pending briefing and hearing on the report of the Special Litigation Committee and also to stay further discovery in the underlying case. Plaintiffs filed their opposition to the Motion to Stay on August 1, 2007. A copy of the Report of the Special Litigation Committee was filed with a Motion to File Under Seal with the Court on August 2, 2007. The Company filed its Reply to the Plaintiffs response on August 3, 2007.
The hearing on the Motion to Stay and the Motion to File under Seal was held on August 7, 2007. The Court issued an order later that same day, reserving its ruling. The Court requested that the Plaintiffs submit a discovery plan to the Company and the Company file a proposed schedule for the anticipated dispositive motions, all by August 9, 2007. Also Plaintiffs have an opportunity to file supplemental oppositions to the Motion to Stay by August 15, 2007, and the Company may file its reply to the opposition by August 27, 2007. In addition, the Court gave the Plaintiffs until August 15, 2007 to file their opposition to the Motion to File the Special Litigation Committee Report under Seal, and the Defendants have until August 27, 2007 to file a reply to the opposition.
At this stage of the litigation, it is impossible to reasonably determine the degree of probability related to Plaintiffs success in any of their assertions. Although there can be no assurance as to the ultimate outcome of this litigation, the Company and its officers and directors strenuously deny Plaintiffs claims, will vigorously defend the matter, and will continue to oppose the relief sought.
Other Litigation
On August 2, 2007, Mr. Seth W. Hamot and Mr. Andrew R. Siegel, principals of Costa Brava Partnership III L.P. and newly elected to the Board as Class D Directors on June 18, 2007, filed a Complaint against the Company and a Motion for a Temporary Restraining Order with the Circuit Court for Baltimore City. The Complaint alleges that certain company documents and records have not been promptly provided to them as requested, and these documents are necessary to fulfill their fiduciary duty as directors. On the same day, this matter was assigned to Judge Matricciani. The hearing on the Motion for a Temporary Restraining Order was held on August 7, 2007. The Court issued an Order the following day on August 8, 2007, stating that the Plaintiffs should sign a temporary confidentiality order that would allow them to receive the documents requested. The Court further stated that, Telos may redact any such documents provided to Plaintiffs for privilege regarding matters related to the Costa Brava litigation, and temporarily for highly confidential information. The Court reserved on the final determination of the issue of highly confidential information and also on the Motion for a Temporary Restraining Order until the hearing scheduled for August 27, 2007.
In addition, the Company is a party to litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, while the results of such litigation cannot be predicted with any reasonable degree of certainty, the final outcome of such known matters will not, based upon all available information, have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Backlog
The Companys total backlog was $118.4 million and $129.0 million at June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Backlog was $92.1 million at December 31, 2006. The total backlog of each of the segments at June 30, 2007 and 2006 was as follows: Managed Solutions Group - $42.7 million and $34.3 million, respectively; and Xacta - $75.7 million and $94.7 million, respectively.
Such backlog amounts include both funded backlog (unfilled firm orders for the Companys products for which funding has been both authorized and appropriated), and unfunded backlog (firm orders for which funding has not been appropriated). Funded backlog as of June 30, 2007 and 2006 was $101.4 million and $72.3 million, respectively. Of these amounts, approximately $58.7 million and $38.1 million, respectively, were for Xactas business with the remaining amount attributed to Managed Solutions.

Consolidated Results of Operations
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Telos Corporation and its subsidiaries, including Ubiquity.com, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary, Xacta Corporation and Telos Delaware, Inc., all of whose issued and outstanding share capital is owned by Ubiquity.com, Inc. (collectively, the Company). The Company has applied the equity method of accounting for its investment in Enterworks, Inc. (Enterworks). The Company has a 60% ownership interest in Telos Identity Management Solutions, LLC and has consolidated its results of operations (see Note 2 Sale of Assets). The Company also has a 60% ownership interest in Teloworks, Inc. (Teloworks, formerly Enterworks International, Inc.), and has consolidated its results of operations (see Note 3 Investment in Enterworks). Significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated.
The Companys operating cycle involves many types of solution, product and service contracts with varying delivery schedules. Accordingly, results of a particular quarter, or quarter-to-quarter comparisons of recorded sales and operating profits, may not be indicative of future operating results and the following comparative analysis should therefore be viewed in such context.
The principal element of the Companys operating expenses as a percentage of sales for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 are as follows:

Three Months Ended June 30, 2007 Compared with Three Months Ended June 30, 2006
The Companys sales for the second quarter of 2007 were $61.4 million, an increase of $25.6 million or 71.4%, compared to the second quarter 2006 sales of $35.8 million. Such increase consists of a $24.1 million increase in sales from Managed Solutions, primarily attributable to increased sales from the ARISS (Army Recruiting Information Support System) contract, and a $1.5 million increase in sales from Xacta. On a nonsegmented basis, as displayed on the face of the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations (see Item 1 - Financial Statements), product revenue increased from $15.4 million for the second quarter in 2006 to $39.3 million for the same period in 2007, primarily attributable to an increase in sales of product reselling activities of $22.5 million in Managed Solutions, primarily due to increased in sales from the ARISS contract. Services revenue increased from $20.4 million for the second quarter in 2006 to $22.1 million for the same period in 2007, primarily attributable to increase in revenue in the Secure Network solutions business line.
The Companys cost of sales for the second quarter of 2007 was $50.0 million, an increase of $21.1 million compared to the same period in 2006, due primarily to the increase in sales.
The Companys gross profit for the second quarter of 2007 increased by $4.5 million, to $11.4 million, compared to the same period in 2006. Gross margin decreased to 18.6% in the second quarter of 2007, from 19.4% in the same period in 2006, primarily attributable to a higher proportion of product reselling activities relative to total sales. The Xacta gross margin increased to 36.1% in the second quarter of 2007, from 27.3% for the same period in 2006, primarily due to increases in proprietary software sales in the Secure Messaging business line and solutions sales in the Secure Network solutions business line. The Managed Solutions gross margin increased to 5.9% in the second quarter of 2007, from 2.8% for the same period in 2006, primarily due to increased in sales from the ARISS contract. On a nonsegmented basis, as displayed on the face of the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations, in the second quarter of 2007 compared to the same period in 2006, gross margin attributable to products increased by 13.3% due to a refinement in the Companys contract costing system whereby the Company increased its direct cost tracing on contracts containing both products and services. In the second quarter of 2007 compared to the same period in 2006, gross margin attributable to services decreased to 28.0% from 34.0%, due to the previously mentioned refinement in the contract costing system, offset by a 3.7% increase primarily due to solutions sales in the Secure Network solutions business line.
The Companys selling, general, and administrative expense (SG&A) for the second quarter of 2007 was $7.3 million, an increase of approximately $0.3 million or 4.7% compared to the same period in 2006, primarily due to increases in legal costs and litigation-related expenses.
22
The Companys operating income for the second quarter of 2007 was $4.1 million, compared to $14,000 in the same period in 2006, due primarily to an increase in gross profit noted above.
The Companys interest expense for the second quarter of 2007 was $2.1 million, a decrease of $11.9 million compared to the same period in 2006, due primarily to the accretion and dividend accrual adjustments on the public preferred stock during the second quarter of 2006, as discussed in Note 5 Redeemable Preferred Stock.
The Company recorded a full valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets as of June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006. The Company maintained its full valuation position during the quarter ended June 30, 2007.
The Companys net income for the second quarter of 2007 was $7.8 million, an increase of $21.7 million compared to the $13.9 million net loss in the same period in 2006, primarily attributable to the $5.8 million gain on sale of TIMS LLC membership interest, the increase in sales and gross profit of product reselling activities and proprietary software sales, and the decrease of $11.9 million in interest expense related to the public preferred stock as discussed above.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2007 Compared with Six Months Ended June 30, 2006
The Companys sales for the six months ended June 30, 2007 were $101.6 million, an increase of $40.6 million or 66.6%, compared to sales of $61.0 million in the same period in 2006. Such increase consists of a $26.7 million increase in sales from Managed Solutions, primarily attributable to increased sales from the ARISS contract, and a $14.0 million increase in sales from Xacta, primarily attributable to increased sales from the NETCENTS contract in its Secure Messaging and Secure Network solutions business lines. On a nonsegmented basis, as displayed on the face of the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations, product revenue increased from $25.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006 to $58.9 million for the same period in 2007, primarily attributable to an increase in sales of product reselling activities of $26.9 million in Managed Solutions. Services revenue increased from $35.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006 to $42.8 million for the same period in 2007, primarily attributable to an increase in revenue in the Secure Network solutions business line.
The Companys cost of sales for the six months ended June 30, 2007 was $77.3 million, an increase of $27.8 million compared to the same period in 2006, due primarily to the increase in sales as discussed above.
The Companys gross profit for the six months ended June 30, 2007 increased by $12.8 million, to $24.3 million, compared to the same period in 2006. Gross margin increased to 23.9% in the six months ended June 30, 2007, from 18.8% in the same period in 2006. The increase in gross margin is attributable to the increase in sales of higher margin business offerings including services/solutions and proprietary software. The Xacta gross margin increased to 41.7% in the six months ended June 30, 2007, from 27.2% for the same period in 2006, primarily due to increases in proprietary software sales in the Secure Messaging and Information Assurance business lines and solutions sales in the Secure Network solutions business line, as well as cost reductions and reorganizations implemented in the fourth quarter of 2006. The Managed Solutions gross margin increased to 3.7% in the six months ended June 30, 2007, from 2.7% for the same period in 2006, primarily due to increased sales from the ARISS contract. On a nonsegmented basis, as displayed on the face of the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations, gross margin attributable to products increased to 18.5% in the six months ended June 30, 2007, from 5.7% for the same period in 2006, primarily due to an increase of 8.1% due to a refinement in the Companys contract costing system whereby the Company increased its direct cost tracing on contracts containing both products and services, as well as an increase of 4.7% due to increased proprietary software sales and sales under the ARISS contract. Gross margin attributable to services increased to 31.3% in the six months ended June 30, 2007, from 28.3% for the same period in 2006, primarily due to an 8.9% increase in solutions sales in the Secure Network solutions business line, offset by a 5.9% decrease due to the previously mentioned refinement in the Companys contract costing system.
The Companys selling, general, and administrative expense (SG&A) for the six months ended June 30, 2007 was $16.4 million, a decrease of approximately $1.0 million or 5.7% compared to the same period in 2006, primarily due to company-wide reorganization and cost reduction plan implemented in the fourth quarter of 2006.
23
The Companys operating income for six months ended June 30, 2007 was $7.9 million, compared to $5.9 million operating loss in the same period in 2006, due primarily to an increase in gross profit noted above.
The Companys interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2007 was $4.1 million, a decrease of $11.9 million compared to the same period in 2006, due primarily to the accretion and dividend accrual adjustments on the public preferred stock during the second quarter of 2006, as discussed in Note 5 Redeemable Preferred Stock.
The Company recorded a full valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets as of June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006. The Company maintained its full valuation position during the six months ended June 30, 2007.
The Companys net income for the six months ended June 30, 2007 was $9.5 million, an increase of $31.6 million compared to the $22.0 million net loss in the same period in 2006, primarily attributable to the increase in sales of higher margin business lines, $5.8 million gain on sale of TIMS LLC membership interest, and a decrease of $11.9 million in interest expense related to the public preferred stock as discussed above.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
In addition to the Companys common stock, the Company's capital structure consists of a revolving credit facility, subordinated notes, capital lease obligations, and redeemable preferred stock.
Senior Revolving Credit Facility
The Company has a $15 million revolving credit facility (the Facility) with Wells Fargo Foothill, Inc. (Wells Fargo Foothill) that is scheduled to mature on October 21, 2008. As of June 30, 2007, the interest rate on the Facility was 9.25%. The Facility has various covenants that may, among other things, affect the ability of the Company to merge with another entity, sell or transfer certain assets, pay dividends and make other distributions beyond certain limitations. The Facility also requires the Company to meet certain financial covenants, including Earnings before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA), as defined in the Facility. As of June 30, 2007, the Company was in compliance with the Facilitys financial and EBITDA covenants. Based on the Companys current projection of EBITDA, the Company expects that it will remain in compliance with its EBITDA covenants. Therefore, the Facility is classified as noncurrent as of June 30, 2007.
Effective January 1, 2007, the Company and Wells Fargo Foothill have amended the Facility to provide for availability block relief through April 30, 2007, to establish EBITDA covenants for 2007, to give consent to the formation of an LLC and subsequent sale of a portion of the membership interests in such LLC (disclosed in Note 2 - Sale of Assets), and to provide various waivers in accordance with the Facility. The fees associated with such amendments amounted to $160,000.
At June 30, 2007, the Company had outstanding borrowings of $8.9 million and unused borrowing availability of $7.4 million on the Facility. As of August 10, 2007, the Company has availability under its current arrangement of approximately $4.0 million. The effective weighted average interest rates (including various fees charged pursuant to the Facility agreement and related amendments) on the outstanding borrowings under the Facility were 10.9% and 12.3% for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
Senior Subordinated Notes
The Company's Senior Subordinated Notes (Notes) totaled $5.2 million at June 30, 2007. The maturity date of such Notes has been extended to October 31, 2008, with interest rates ranging from 14% to 17%, and paid quarterly on January 1, April 1, July 1, and October 1 of each year. During the first six months of 2007 and 2006, the Company paid $375,000 in interest to subordinated note holders. In addition, these notes have a cumulative prepayment premium of 13.5% per annum payable only upon certain circumstances, which if in effect, would be approximately $18.9 million at June 30, 2007. See Note 4 Debt Obligations.
Redeemable Preferred Stock
The Company currently has two primary classes of redeemable preferred stock - Senior Redeemable Preferred Stock and Public Preferred Stock. Each class carries cumulative dividend rates of 12% to 14.125%. At June 30, 2007, the total carrying amount of redeemable preferred stock, including accumulated and unpaid dividends was $99.7 million. The Company accrues dividends and provides for accretion related to the redeemable preferred stock. During the first six months of 2007 and 2006, the Company recorded $2.1 million and $12.3 million, respectively, of dividends on the two classes of redeemable preferred stock.
Senior Redeemable Preferred Stock
Redemption for all shares of the Senior Redeemable Preferred Stock plus all accrued dividends on those shares was scheduled, subject to limitations detailed below, on October 31, 2005. However, on April 14, 2005, Toxford Corporation, the
24
holder of 72.6% of the Senior Redeemable Preferred Stock, extended the maturity of its instruments to October 31, 2008. Among the limitations with regard to the scheduled redemptions of the Senior Redeemable Public Preferred Stock is the legal availability of funds, pursuant to Maryland law. Maryland law also prohibits distributions (including redemptions and dividends) if, after the distribution is made, liabilities exceed assets. Accordingly, due to the Companys current financial position and the terms of the Wells Fargo Foothill agreement, it is precluded by Maryland law from making the scheduled payment. As the Senior Redeemable Preferred Stock is not due on demand, or callable, within twelve months from June 30, 2007, the remaining 27.4% is also classified as noncurrent.
Public Preferred Stock
Redemption Provisions
Redemption for the Public Preferred Stock is contractually scheduled from 2005 through 2009. Since 1991, the Company has not declared or paid any dividends on its Public Preferred Stock, based upon its interpretation of restrictions in its Articles of Amendment and Restatement, limitations in the terms of the Public Preferred Stock instrument, specific dividend payment restrictions in the Facility entered into with Wells Fargo Foothill, and other senior obligations and limitations pursuant to Maryland law (as discussed above). Pursuant to their terms, the Company is scheduled, but not required, to redeem the Public Preferred Stock in five annual tranches during the period 2005 through 2009. However, due to its substantial senior obligations, limitations set forth in the covenants in the Facility, foreseeable capital and operational requirements, restrictions and prohibitions of its Articles of Amendment and Restatement, and provisions of Maryland law (as discussed above), and assuming sufficient liquidity to undertake any stock redemption (which is presently unquantifiable), the Company believes the likelihood is that it will not be able to meet the redemption schedule set forth in the terms of the Public Preferred Stock instrument. Moreover, the Public Preferred Stock is not payable on demand, nor callable, for failure to redeem the Public Preferred Stock in accordance with the redemption schedule set forth in the instrument. Therefore, the Company has classified these securities as noncurrent liabilities in the balance sheet as of June 30, 2007 and 2006.
The Company and certain of its subsidiaries are parties to the Facility agreement with Wells Fargo Foothill, whose term expires on October 21, 2008. Under the Facility, the Company agreed that, so long as any credit under the Facility is available and until full and final payment of the obligations under the Facility, it would not make any distribution or declare or pay any dividends (other than common stock) on its stock, or purchase, acquire, or redeem any stock, or exchange any stock for indebtedness, or retire any stock. The Company continues to actively rely upon the Facility and expects to continue to do so until the Facility agreement expires on October 21, 2008.
Accordingly, as stated above, the Company will continue to classify the entirety of its obligation to redeem the Public Preferred Stock as a long-term obligation. The Wells Fargo Foothill Facility prohibits, among other things, the redemption of any stock, common or preferred, until October 21, 2008. The Public Preferred Stock by its terms cannot be redeemed if doing so would violate the terms of an agreement regarding the borrowing of funds or the extension of credit which is binding upon the Company or any subsidiary of the Company, and it does not include any other provisions that would otherwise require any acceleration of the redemption of or amortization payments with respect to the Public Preferred Stock. Thus, the Public Preferred Stock is not and will not be due on demand, nor callable, within twelve months from June 30, 2007. This classification is consistent with ARB No. 43 and SFAS No. 78, Classification of Obligations that are Callable by the Creditor.
Paragraph 7 of Chapter 3A of ARB No. 43 defines a current liability, as follows:
The term current liabilities is used principally to designate obligations whose liquidation is reasonably expected to require the use of existing resources properly classifiable as current assets, or the creation of other current liabilities. As a balance sheet category, the classification is intended to include obligations for items that have entered into the operating cycle, such as payables incurred in the acquisition of materials and supplies to be used in the production of goods or in providing services to be offered for sale; collections received in advance of the delivery of goods or performance of services; and debts that arise from operations directly related to the operating cycle, such as accruals for wages, salaries, commissions, rentals, royalties, and income and other taxes. Other liabilities whose regular and ordinary liquidation is expected to occur within a relatively short period of time, usually 12 months, are also intended for inclusion, such as short-term debts arising from the acquisition of capital assets, serial maturities of long-term obligations, amounts required to be expended within 1 year under sinking fund provisions, and agency obligations arising from the collection or acceptance of cash or other assets for the account of third persons.
Paragraph 5 of SFAS No. 78, provides the following:
The current liability classification is also intended to include obligations that, by their terms, are due on demand or will be due on demand within one year (or operating cycle, if longer) from the balance sheet date, even though liquidation may not be expected within that period. It is also intended to include long-term obligations that are or will be callable by the creditor either
25
because the debtors violation of a provision of the debt agreement at the balance sheet date makes the obligation callable or because the violation, if not cured within a specified grace period, will make the obligation callable
If, pursuant to the terms of the Public Preferred Stock, the Company does not redeem the Public Preferred Stock in accordance with the scheduled redemptions described above, the terms of the Public Preferred Stock require the Company to discharge its obligation to redeem the Public Preferred Stock as soon as the Company is capable and permitted to do so. Therefore, by its very terms, the Public Preferred Stock is not due on demand or callable for failure to make a scheduled payment pursuant to its redemption provisions and is properly classified as a noncurrent liability.
Dividend Provisions
The Public Preferred Stock accrues a semi-annual dividend at the annual rate of 12% ($1.20) per share, based on the liquidation preference of $10 per share and is fully cumulative. Dividends in additional shares of the Public Preferred Stock for 1990 and 1991 were paid at the rate of 6% of a share for each $.60 of such dividends not paid in cash. Dividends on the Public Preferred Stock are paid by the Company, when and if declared by the Board of Directors, and are required to be paid out of legally available funds in accordance with Maryland law. Maryland law also prohibits distributions (including redemptions and dividends) if, after the distribution is made, liabilities exceed assets. For the cash dividends payable since December 1, 1995, the Company has accrued $59.6 million and $55.7 million as of June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
In accordance with SFAS No. 150, both the Senior Redeemable Preferred Stock and the Public Preferred Stock have been reclassified from equity to liability. Consequently, for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, dividends totaling $2.1 million and $12.3 million, respectively, were accrued and reported as interest expense in the respective periods. Prior to the effective date of SFAS No. 150 on July 1, 2003, such dividends were charged to stockholders accumulated deficit. The carrying value of the accrued Paid-in-Kind (PIK) dividends on the Public Preferred Stock for the period 1992 through June 1995 was $4.0 million. Had the Company accrued such dividends on a cash basis for this time period, the total amount accrued would have been $15.1 million. However, as a result of the redemption of the 410,000 shares of the Public Preferred Stock in November 1998, such amounts were adjusted to $3.5 million and $13.4 million, respectively. The Companys Charter, Section 2(a) states, Any dividends payable with respect to the Exchangeable Preferred Stock (Public Preferred Stock) during the first six years after the Effective Date (November 20, 1989) may be paid (subject to restrictions under applicable state law), in the sole discretion of the Board of Directors, in cash or by issuing additional full paid and nonassessable shares of Exchangeable Preferred Stock . Accordingly, the Board had the discretion to pay the dividends for the referenced period in cash or by the issuance of additional shares of Public Preferred Stock. During the period in which the Company stated its intent to pay PIK dividends, the Company stated its intention to amend its charter to permit the payment of these dividends by the issuance of additional shares of Public Preferred Stock. In consequence, in accordance with applicable accounting requirements, the accrual for these dividends was recorded at the estimated fair value (as the average of the ask and bid prices) on the dividend date of the shares of Public Preferred Stock that would have been (but were not) issued. This accrual was $9.9 million lower than the accrual would be if the intent was only to pay the dividends in cash, at that date or any later date.
In May 2006, the Board concluded that the accrual of PIK dividends for the period 1992 through June 1995 was no longer appropriate. Since 1995, the Company has disclosed in the footnotes to its audited financial statements the carrying value of the accrued PIK dividends on the Public Preferred Stock for the period 1992 through June 1995 was $4.0 million, and that had the Company accrued cash dividends during this time period, the total amount accrued would have been $15.1 million. As stated above, such amounts were adjusted to $3.5 million and 13.4 million, respectively, due to the redemption of 410,000 shares of the Public Preferred Stock in November 1998. On May 12, 2006, the Board of Directors voted to confirm that the Companys intent with respect to the payment of dividends on the Public Preferred Stock for this period changed from its previously stated intent to pay PIK dividends to that of an intent to pay cash dividends. The Company therefore changed the accrual from $3.5 million to $13.4 million, the result of which was to increase the Companys negative shareholder equity by the difference between those two amounts, $9.9 million, by recording an additional $9.9 million charge to interest expense for the second quarter of 2006, resulting in a balance of $90.4 million for the principal amount and all accrued dividends on the Public Preferred Stock as of June 30, 2007. This action is a change in accounting estimate as defined in SFAS No. 154, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections which replaces APB No. 20, Accounting Changes and SFAS No. 3, Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements.
Borrowing Capacity
At June 30, 2007, the Company had outstanding debt and long-term obligations of $122.8 million, consisting of $8.9 million under the Facility, $5.2 million in subordinated debt, $9.0 million in capital lease obligations and $99.7 million in redeemable preferred stock classified as liability in accordance with SFAS No. 150.
26
The consolidated financial statements for the quarter ended June 30, 2007 that are included in this Form 10-Q have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. However, primarily due to total expenses directly related to unreimbursed litigation-related and other legal expenses, the Companys working capital deficit was $3.1 million as of June 30, 2007. Total expenses related to litigation and other legal costs were $4.0 million (net of $0.6 million in reimbursements by the Companys insurers) for the first six months of 2007, $5.7 million (net of $3.1 million in reimbursements by the Companys insurers) for 2006, and $4.1 million for 2005. Such unreimbursed litigation-related and other legal expenses continue to adversely affect working capital, and $7.7 million of such expenses are unpaid as of June 30, 2007. While the Company is actively working with its vendors, including law firms, partners, Wells Fargo Foothill, and subcontractors to mitigate the effect of these working capital constraints during this period, there can be no assurances as to the continuing ability of the Company to successfully work with such parties to mitigate these current working capital constraints. See Note 4 Debt Obligations. Although no assurances can be given, the Company expects that it will be in compliance throughout the term of the amended credit facility with respect to the financial and other covenants.
The Company has previously disclosed the effect that the cyclicality of the U.S. Government buying season has historically had on revenues, specifically that the Company has experienced higher revenue in the third and fourth quarters than in the first and second quarters. While the Company has experienced significant revenue growth for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2007 over the prior year, there can be no assurances that such growth will continue for the remainder of the year or that revenue for the remainder of the year will exceed the revenue to date.
The Company believes that available cash and borrowings under the Facility will be sufficient to generate adequate amounts of cash to meet the Companys needs for operating expenses, debt service requirements, and projected capital expenditures for 2007.

Forward-Looking Statements
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements. For this purpose, any statements contained herein that are not statements of historical fact may be deemed to be forward-looking statements. Without limiting the foregoing, the words believes, anticipates, plans, expects and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. There are a number of important factors that could cause the Companys actual results to differ materially from those indicated by such forward-looking statements. These factors include, without limitation, those set forth in the risk factors section included in the Companys Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006, as filed with the SEC.
Item 3. | Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk |
The Company is exposed to interest rate volatility with regard to its variable rate debt obligations under its Facility. Effective April 2005, interest on the Facility is charged at 1% over the Wells Fargo prime rate (as of June 30, 2007 the Wells Fargo prime rate was 8.25%), or 5.75%, whichever is higher. The effective average interest rates, including all bank fees, for the first six months of 2007 and 2006 were 10.9% and 12.3%, respectively. The Facility had an outstanding balance of $8.9 million at June 30, 2007.
Item 4. | Controls and Procedures |
The Companys Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have evaluated the Companys disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act), as of June 30, 2007, and concluded that those disclosure controls and procedures are effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commissions rules and forms, and is accumulated and communicated to the Companys management including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding timely disclosures.
There have been no changes in the Companys internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2007 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Companys internal control over financial reporting.

Item 1. | Legal Proceedings |
Information regarding legal proceedings may be found in Note 7 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Item 1A. | Risk Factors |
If the Company is unable to retain a successor independent public accountant, the Company will not be able to file its periodic reports in a timely manner and will constitute a default under the Facility.
As previously disclosed in the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on July 13, 2007, Goodman & Company, LLP ("Goodman") resigned as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm effective July 24, 2007. Goodman indicated that its independence had been impaired because two individuals affiliated with Costa Brava, Messrs. Seth W. Hamot and Andrew R. Siegel, were elected to the Company's Board of Directors by the holders of the Public Preferred Stock. As noted earlier, Costa Brava has filed a lawsuit against the Company, its directors and certain of its officers, and a separate lawsuit against Goodman. Although the Audit Committee is in the process of seeking a successor independent public accountant, there can be no assurance that the Audit Committee will be successful in such efforts. Based upon its efforts to date to find a successor independent public accountant, it appears that the litigation commenced by Costa Brava against Goodman may discourage other independent registered public accounting firms from accepting an engagement with the Company. If the Company is unable to retain a successor independent public accountant, it will not be able to file in a timely manner its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q that comply with the SEC's rules and regulations. In addition, the Company will not be able to file in a timely manner its Annual Report on Form 10-K. In addition, the failure to deliver audited financial statements to Wells Fargo Foothill will constitute an event of default under the Facility.
There were no other material changes in the Companys risk factors in the second quarter of 2007.
Item 3. | Defaults upon Senior Securities |
Senior Redeemable Preferred Stock
The Company has not declared dividends on its Senior Redeemable Preferred Stock, Series A-1 and A-2, since issuance. At June 30, 2007, total undeclared unpaid dividends accrued for financial reporting purposes are $6.2 million for the Series A-1 and A-2 Preferred Stock. The Company was required to redeem all shares and accrued dividends outstanding on October 31, 2005. However, on April 14, 2005, Toxford Corporation, the holder of 72.6% of the Senior Redeemable Preferred Stock, extended the maturity of its instruments to October 31, 2008. Subject to limitations set forth below, the Company was scheduled to redeem 27.4% of the outstanding shares and accrued dividends outstanding on October 31, 2005. Among the limitations with regard to the mandatory redemptions of the Senior Redeemable Public Preferred Stock is the legal availability of funds, pursuant to Maryland law. Maryland law also prohibits distributions (including redemptions and dividends) if, after the distribution is made, liabilities exceed assets. Accordingly, due to the Companys current financial position, it is precluded by Maryland law from making the scheduled payment.
12% Cumulative Exchangeable Redeemable Preferred Stock
Through November 21, 1995, the Company had the option to pay dividends in additional shares of Preferred Stock in lieu of cash (provided there were no restrictions on payment as further discussed below). As more fully explained in the next paragraph, dividends are payable by the Company, provided that the Company has legally available funds under Maryland law (as discussed above) and is able to pay dividends under its charter and other senior financing documents, when and if declared by the Board of Directors, commencing June 1, 1990, and on each six month anniversary thereof. Dividends in additional shares of the Preferred Stock for 1990 and 1991 were paid at the rate of 6% of a share for each $.60 of such dividends not paid in cash. Dividends for the years 1992 through 1994, and for the dividend payable June 1, 1995, were accrued under the assumption that such dividends would be paid in additional shares of preferred stock and were valued at $4.0 million. Had the Company accrued these dividends on a cash basis, the total amount accrued would have been $15.1 million. However, as a result of the redemption of the 410,000 shares of the Public Preferred Stock in November 1998, such amounts were adjusted to $3.5 million and $13.4 million, respectively. As more fully disclosed in Note 5 Redeemable Preferred Stock, in the second quarter of 2006, the Company accrued an additional $9.9 million in interest expense to reflect its intent to pay cash dividends in lieu of stock dividends, for the
29
years 1992 through 1994, and for the dividend payable June 1, 1995. The Company has accrued $59.6 million in cash dividends as of June 30, 2007.
Since 1991, the Company has not declared or paid any dividends on its Public Preferred Stock, based upon its interpretation of restrictions in its Articles of Amendment and Restatement, limitations in the terms of the Public Preferred Stock instrument, specific dividend payment restrictions in the Facility entered into with Wells Fargo Foothill, to which the Public Preferred Stock is subject, and other senior obligations, and limitations pursuant to Maryland law (as discussed above). Pursuant to their terms, the Company is scheduled to redeem the Public Preferred Stock in five annual tranches during the period 2005 through 2009. However, due to its substantial senior obligations, limitations set forth in the covenants in the Facility, foreseeable capital and operational requirements, restrictions and prohibitions of its Articles of Amendment and Restatement, and provisions of Maryland law (as discussed above), the Company did not make the first two scheduled redemption payments, and assuming insufficient liquidity to undertake any stock redemption (which is presently unquantifiable), the Company believes that the likelihood is that it will not be able to make the remaining three scheduled redemption payments as set forth in the terms of the Public Preferred Stock. Accordingly, the Public Preferred Stock is not payable on demand, nor callable, for failure to redeem the Public Preferred Stock in accordance with the redemption schedule set forth in the instrument. The Company has therefore classified these securities as noncurrent liabilities on the balance sheet as of June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, and throughout all of 2006.
Item 5. | Other Information |
On April 18, 2007, the Company was notified by the NASD that its securities will be removed from quotation on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board (OTCBB) because the Companys late filing of three periodic reports in the past twenty-four months, in violation of the OTCBB eligibility rules. On April 23, 2007 the Company appealed this decision to the NASD Hearings Panel. On May 7, 2007 the Company applied for a waiver of late filing from the SEC's Division of Corporation Finance, which was subsequently denied. Effective July 13, 2007, the Companys Public Preferred Stock is no longer quoted on the OTCBB, and is now quoted as TLSRP in the Pink Sheets.

A.

Such option may be exercised by giving written notice to the Class A Member at anytime after the Fourth Anniversary if no Sales Event then exists. If the Class A Member and the Class B Member are unable to agree on the purchase price for the Interest, the purchase price shall be determined in accordance with Section 7.05.B.
B. The Company shall select a nationally recognized investment banker ranked by Investment Dealers Digest as a top financial advisor for deal sizes less than One Hundred Million Dollars ($100,000,000.00). Any such appraisal must be completed within forty-five (45) days from the date of the exercise of the option under Section 7.05.A.

6. With respect to all assets identified on Exhibit A, which are being leased by Contributor and which rights under such leases are being assigned hereunder, nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as an attempt to assign any contract, agreement, or

Material Handling Details
Approach for Delivering Products
Telos Maryland has the channel relationships, capacity, space, equipment, as well as the experienced, knowledgeable and dedicated personnel, needed to deliver ordered products and services in the desired timeframes.
Telos Maryland also has the infrastructure and mature processes to deliver support and services such as system configurations, integration and testing, custom software image loads, and training. Telos Marylands capabilities support on-line catalog orders, request for quotes (RFQs), bulk buys and projects requiring development of plans and schedules.
A key factor to successfully delivering products and associated services for both large volume and numerous small orders is an automated, up-to-date, reliable and accurate method of information exchange between customers and providers. Telos Maryland uses an enterprise architecture that can connect OEMs, multiple distributors, and other suppliers to a near real-time e-commerce enterprise.
Delivery of products starts with a customer order. ISO 9001:2000 order processing and logistics procedures provide the foundation for DMDC order processing capabilities. Each ordered system or peripheral will come with commercial documentation, power and interface cables, and (optional) tagged with a Unique Identification, Special Asset, and or radio frequency identification (RFID) asset tag.
Production and Delivery: For the last 36 years, Telos Maryland has offered direct OEM order execution and delivery, in addition to being a full service systems integrator. Telos Maryland has been working on DMDC product delivery and system integration jobs since Telos Maryland was first awarded the contract by DMDC in 1995.
For those products/systems that do not require specialized system integration prior to shipment, Telos Maryland can ship directly to the customer from the OEM factory and their worldwide distribution centers (pre-imaged by the OEM when required).
Non-routine hardware and software orders requiring complex configurations, orders requiring services such as site surveys, installation, site integration, and those orders directed by Telos Maryland through our on-going supply chain analysis are assembled, tested, and inspected at the Telos Maryland integration facility. Similarly, large orders requiring multiple OEM aggregation and a single delivery will be handled at the Telos Maryland facility. Telos Maryland has been performing this type of custom and specialized integration for all major OEMs for the last 36 years. For many of the large OEMs, Telos Maryland was the original systems integrator that introduced them into the DoD product space and included them on our contracts.
Telos Marylands organic delivery infrastructure has a dedicated 67,000 square foot assembly and integration area. The integration facility has the capability to integrate and simultaneously
75
test more than 36,000 configured systems annually. If needed, Telos Maryland can also increase our integration capacity by using additional space or by adding a second and third shift. The integration facility has a flexible design, allowing emulation of customer local area network environments, to include the capability to load the DMDC Golden Master image on all systems automatically.
Adjacent to our integration facility, Telos Maryland maintains a secure Government-Furnished Equipment (GFE) warehouse facility to administer all functions for the DMDC, such as ship-in-place.
The Defense Contract Management Agency (DCMA) has approved the Telos Maryland Government Property Control System (GPCS) for all applicable functions in property management, identification, storage, reports and subcontractor control.
Software Image Loading: All desktops and notebooks will be configured and pre-loaded (as-required) with the DMDC Golden Master operating system (OS). Telos Maryland and its desktop and notebook OEMs can leverage an automated image load system that allows high volume production as well as management of the image integrity and virus protection. Custom images can also be provided using this established custom imaging tool. Telos Maryland has provided more than 48,000 custom imaged notebooks for the Army under the ARISS program and 9,600 for the Department of Census.
Delivery Times: Telos Maryland will meet or exceed the stated DMDC delivery times as negotiated with DMDC and GSA. Telos Maryland does require monthly forecast and lead-time analysis from DMDC and our Program Managers that provide suppliers the required stocking levels in order to meet required delivery dates from DMDC.
Telos Maryland performs continuous assessment of the supply chain and takes ongoing corrective and preventative action with our suppliers as part of our ISO 9001:2000 quality standard. This ensures DMDC is receiving peak performance from all aspects of the logistics supply chain.
We have long standing agreements with our transportation carriers and our mutual past experience with DMDC and DoD provides for an experienced and knowledgeable team to get the products delivered on-time and on-location. Telos Maryland and our shippers have significant experience delivering equipment to CONUS as well as named and remote OCONUS locations. Established relationships with multiple commercial carriers including UPS, Federal Express, and DHL ensure DMDC is receiving on-time delivery, full in transit shipment tracking, secure transport, and cost-effective shipping rates.
Telos Maryland has established a global supply chain network and will utilize not only the distribution points of our OEMs and major distribution partners, but will also utilize our logistics and service personnel in-theatre to assist, deliver and manage product deliveries for DMDC.
Expedited Deliveries: As part of Telos Marylands Customer Service Program, DMDC has the option of requesting alternate or additional delivery terms or schedules, such as expedited
76
delivery on any order. We offer tailor-made instant response services to DMDC and have a proven logistics shipping network to ensure the shipment arrives safely, without delay and to the right place. Expedited delivery is negotiated between Telos Maryland and the ordering contracting officer on an order-by-order basis using Telos Marylands established, proven team of shipment professionals. In the past, Telos Maryland has achieved expedited shipping times of two (2) days for CONUS and three (3) days for OCONUS deliveries.
Features of Telos Marylands Expedited Delivery Program
| Air freight utilized for all point-to-point deliveries |
| Dedicated Telos Maryland Transportation Professional to track and communicate shipment real-time back to the DMDC POC |
| Guaranteed delivery timeframe(s) or no charge for expedited shipment. OCONUS shipment charges will still apply |
| Staff in more than 150 OCONUS locations to help expedite deliveries. |
High Volume/Surge Buy Periods: In addition to the combined capacity of the Telos Maryland and its OEM network, Telos Maryland may pre-buy inventory based on upcoming high volume requirements determined through collaboration with the DMDC customer.
Consolidated Buy Periods: When requested by DMDC prior to the consolidated/bulk buy, Telos Maryland will provide tiered pricing for desktop, notebook, and peripheral configurations. Telos Maryland will work closely with our OEMs and channels to obtain the most favorable discounted pricing.
Approach to Providing Warranty
The ISO 9001:2000-certified 365x24x7 Telos Maryland Corporation Customer Support Center (TCCSC) is the heart of Telos Marylands customer support responsiveness. All customer support requests are received at the TCCSC. As the first and single point of contact (POC) for customer support, the TCCSC provides a wide range of services. To ensure the quality and timeliness of the support provided, all TCCSC personnel are trained not only in their specific role, but also in overall TCCSC capabilities. This arms the staff with the knowledge to identify the resource most appropriate to respond to a users request for technical assistance. Periodic training is provided as new products are added or installations are completed so that the TCCSC staff members who handle the requests can fully respond to the users on the initial contact.
The TCCSC is a feature-rich customer support center that has been in operation for nearly 30 years. It has evolved into a mature customer support center that focuses heavily on Federal Government requirements.
77
The key to Telos Marylands ability to deliver technical assistance, warranty, maintenance, and order processing to our clients, is the fact that we have integrated three state-of-the-art automated systems:
| Peregrine ServiceCenter is an enterprise package designed specifically for service organizations which support a diverse user and equipment base. ServiceCenter is based on the Information Technology Infrastructure Library (ITIL), the industry standard for customer support services best practices. ServiceCenter also incorporates workflow process management that ensures processes are followed, provides automatic escalation, and enables management insight into the status of services. Within the TCCSC, the ServiceCenter supports Customer Relationship Management (CRM), warranty management, maintenance delivery, asset/configuration management, software release/update management, resource management, call handling, proactive problem identification/resolution, and performance measurement. |
| Deltek Enterprise is a Government-approved finance and accounting, project management, resource management, subcontractor management, procurement, and materials management system. Deltek Enterprise integrates with the ServiceCenter to deliver corporate accounting and business management functions to the TCCSC technician. |
| Telos Maryland e-procure is an electronic catalog and order processing system as discussed above. In addition to providing the standard electronic catalog and ordering features, Telos Maryland e-procure offers a full range of procurement and logistics functions including life-cycle order tracking, electronic order placement with OEMs, vendor performance tracking, and customized user searches. |
Proactive Problem Identification and Resolution/Repair: Our philosophy for customer support is to identify and correct problems as early as possible, in many cases, before the client detects the problem. The TCCSC monitors various data sources related to product, installation, performance, security, and interoperability of the Telos Maryland provided products and systems. When an item of interest is identified, the TCCSC proactively notifies affected users of the information, regardless of whether they have reported a similar problem. The TCCSC also evaluates trends in the service calls it receives. When a trend is identified, DMDC users who have similar systems can be notified. The TCCSC has the ability to push key notifications and web technology briefings/articles via e-mail to customers (optional).
Telos Marylands Current Quality Certifications
Quality Organization: The Telos Maryland ISO 9001:2000 Quality System, certified by an independent rating facility, is organized in a manner that enhances our ability to provide world-class quality products and services and ensure customer satisfaction. The overall Quality Assurance (QA) organization is functionally divided into four distinct operations: Incoming QA, In-Process QA, Final QA, and Internal Audits.
Telos Maryland performs continuous audits of OEM facilities and distribution points deemed critical as part of our ISO 9001:2000 program and ongoing supply chain analysis.
78
Incoming Quality Assurance: The Incoming QA function ensures that all purchased products, parts, assemblies and systems meet Telos Marylands and DMDCs specified requirements. This is accomplished through several measurements including: comparison of quantities, type, and part numbers received against a purchase order; determination of the condition in which the parts are received (whole/damaged); and adherence to engineering specifications (such as revision level, size, color, finish, etc.). Defect and failure data are collected to identify trends and assess vendor quality.
In-Process Quality Assurance: The In-Process QA function conducts inspections at specified intervals during the integration cycle of each system. At each inspection and test point, data is captured and entered into the Manufacturing Quality Information (MQI) database where it is analyzed for trends and required corrective action. Additionally, for those shipments produced and shipped from the OEM and distribution points, Telos Maryland performs audits and requires regular data feeds from these shipping points to support the Telos Maryland consolidated quality program.
Final Quality Assurance: The Final QA function conducts reviews of all outgoing products. This includes inspection of accessories (interface/power cables, software packages, user manuals, etc.) to ensure they are correct and provided in the exact quantities. Additionally, outgoing systems configurations are checked to ensure that all required integration and test steps have been successfully completed. DD-250s are checked for completeness and accuracy before submission to the Government. Telos Maryland requires our OEMs and distribution partners to provide quality data as part of Telos Marylands consolidated quality program.
Internal Auditing: The Internal Auditing function conducts comprehensive internal audits throughout the company to ensure continued conformance to the ISO 9001:2000-certified policies and procedures and to assess and monitor all aspects of contract performance. Additionally, internal audits ensure that processes and procedures are effective and conducive to producing optimum quality products. This is accomplished by rigorous audits of procedures and processes as they apply to specific contracts. When deficiencies or needs for improvement are identified, a corrective action report is issued for prompt remediation of the deficiency.
79
Monitoring, Assessing, and Taking Corrective Actions: Telos Maryland employs several mechanisms to continuously monitor, assess, and provide feedback to the QA organization to take corrective actions. Our continuous improvement philosophy is an integral part of our daily business practices, and has led to an extremely low rate of field failures as shown in Table 1.2-1.

Table 1.2-1: Telos Maryland continuously monitors, assesses, and provides feedback to the QA
organization for continuous quality improvement.
During the last four years, Telos Maryland has achieved a near zero product failure rate; we will apply these same mature processes and procedures in support of DMDC.
Quality Certification and Processes throughout the Life of Contracts
Telos Maryland primarily uses five tools/processes to ensure continuous quality throughout the life of the contract, which are:
ISO 9001:2000 Recertifications: Telos Maryland obtained our first ISO 9001:2000 certification in 1996, and has renewed it every three (3) years since then. As part of Telos Marylands approach to ensure quality, processes and certifications are maintained and kept current throughout the life of all contracts. Telos Maryland has implemented a centralized policy and procedures initiative using the Policy Technologies Policy and Procedure Manager software. All of the Telos Maryland policies and procedures have been centralized as a part of our continuous improvement initiative. All of the business processes have been documented and are subject to automatically scheduled periodic review. These policies and procedures cover all aspects of our business processes and are tightly coupled with our existing approved ISO 9001:2000 procedures.
Senior Management Site Visits: Telos Maryland senior management makes periodic visits to customer sites to discuss our performance and to ensure the customer is happy with the products and services that Telos Maryland is providing.
80
Customer Satisfaction Surveys: As a part of our customer feedback and continuous improvement process, we request customer feedback when service tickets are closed to measure customer satisfaction on a continuous closed loop basis. Any deficiencies discovered are analyzed to determine their cause and corrective actions are taken immediately.
Performance Metrics: Telos Maryland has established contract performance metrics; and, we will closely track and share with DMDC the results of these metrics. If necessary, Telos Maryland will take immediate corrective actions to ensure we meet or exceed performance thresholds.
OEM Quality Tracking: Telos Marylands quality organization performs an ongoing analysis of the supply chain to ensure performance by the OEMs and distribution partners in the effective and efficient execution of the established metrics and contractual requirements of DMDC contract.
