Item 1.
Business.
Spectrum Sciences &
Software Holdings Corp. (the “Company” or “Spectrum Holdings”) is a premier
technology and technical engineering solutions company focused on three primary
target markets — national security, energy & environment, and transportation
— with an emphasis on homeland security. The Company’s business offerings
encompass business management services; procurement and acquisition support;
design, engineering and construction; manufacturing technologies; border and
transportation security; environmental management; information analysis; and
infrastructure protection.
Spectrum Holdings was
incorporated as Silva Bay International, Inc., a Delaware corporation, in
August 1998. In April 2003, the Company changed its name from Silva
Bay to Spectrum Sciences & Software Holdings Corp. in conjunction with the
acquisition of Spectrum Sciences and Software, Inc. (“SSSI”), a Florida
corporation. The Company began trading on the Over the Counter (“OTC”) Bulletin
Board market in December 2003.
The Company acquired
three companies during 2005: M&M Engineering, Ltd. (“M&M), Coast Engine
and Equipment Company, Inc. (“CEECO”), and Horne Engineering Services, Inc.
(“Horne”). The Horne acquisition was a merger that resulted in the management of
Horne taking control of the Company effective June 2005. More information
related to these mergers is included in Note 3 of our audited financial
statements.
As a result of these
acquisitions, the nature of the Company’s business has changed significantly,
including our reportable segments. Before the acquisitions, the Company had
three reportable segments: Management Services, Engineering and Information
Technology, and Manufacturing. In 2005, these segments were consolidated into
one segment, Security Solutions. Our current segments are consistent with how we
manage the business and the products and services we offer.
Business
Segments
The Company comprises
four distinct operating companies that operate in five reportable segments:
Security Solutions, Industrial and Offshore, Repair and Overhaul, Procurement
Services, and Engineering Services. These segments are predominantly focused in
the U.S. defense markets, with the exception of the Industrial and Offshore
segment, which is primarily focused on the Canadian energy industry. Our goal is
to be the vendor of choice in each of our selected markets. Financial
information for each segment can be found in Item 7, “Management’s
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” and
the audited financial statements in Item 8.
Security
Solutions
Our Security Solutions
segment specializes in the manufacturing of aircraft and munitions support
equipment for the U.S. Department of Defense. The segment also specializes in
the development of software for weapon system range safety (Safe Range) and the
Secure Borders Initiative (Safe Borders) (formerly known as America’s Shield
Initiative). The Security Solutions segment, which employs approximately 65
employees, is based
1
in Ft. Walton Beach,
Florida. Most of the Company’s contracts in this segment are with the U.S.
Defense Department.
The segment’s
manufacturing operations, with revenue of $4.2 million, accounted for
approximately 75% of the segment’s revenues in 2005. The main products of the
manufacturing group are U.S. Navy containers and launch tubes, missile shipment
and storage containers, and aircraft maintenance stands for military aircraft.
The manufacturing group has devoted considerable time to diversifying the
product mix to better address client needs. This has included successfully
completing 12 “first-article” tests for new products, all of which were accepted
by the end customers and which resulted in new work. The group is expanding its
services into military aircraft specialty parts based on the successful
first-article testing and the needs of the customers. The group is also
participating in the Defense Department’s Mentor-Protégé program and Foreign
Military Sales area with a small minority business in Alabama. This teaming
arrangement may help provide additional work in the future under this program.
The pricing of raw
materials, primarily steel and aluminum, has directly affected the manufacturing
unit. The increased price of these materials has negatively impacted some of the
longer-term manufacturing contracts. The group has worked to limit the impact of
rising material prices by renegotiating contracts and including price-escalation
clauses in new contracts.
The manufacturing group
has patents and pending patents on several technologies, in addition to
proprietary research on munitions assembly systems.
The primary competitors
for the manufacturing group are smaller manufacturing companies with the
bandwidth to support larger contracts. The market is fragmented, and the number
of competitors on the manufacturing side has been decreasing. Competition is
primarily based on product quality and service offerings combined with pricing.
The ability to compete for defense contracts depends on the ability of a given
manufacturer to pass the first-article testing for new products and past
delivery performance on similar contracts. In sole-source provider contracts, it
is incumbent on the procuring agency to re-open the bidding for contracts to be
competitively bid.
The segment’s software
group focuses primarily on modeling and simulation and the Safe Borders tracking
software. The group has developed the technology to simulate the effect and
impact of various weapon systems based on the weapons’ “footprints,” which
allows targeting simulation and analysis. The greater focus, however, is on the
Safe Borders software and its integration with the upcoming Secure Borders
Initiative. This software allows the tracking and monitoring of border areas.
We have certain
intellectual property rights surrounding our software coding for Safe Borders,
including certain algorithms and processing procedures that are proprietary. The
names “Safe Borders” and “Safe Range” are registered trade names of the Company.
Industrial and
Offshore
M&M, which operates
in the Industrial and Offshore segment and is based in St. John’s, Newfoundland,
Canada, is a provider of a complete range of mechanical contracting and steel
fabrication services to the industrial and offshore energy sector. Its business
includes the manufacture and installation of structural steel products,
including storage tanks, pipe spooling, tote tanks, and caisson systems for the
offshore and mining industries, in addition to the manufacture and repair of
pressure vessels. M&M also provides specialized welding services for the oil
and mining industries. All services are provided in eastern Canada.
M&M’s business is
seasonal, with most work being performed between April and October. This is
consistent with the staffing levels of the group. M&M significantly augments
its base staff of 23 employees with contracted union workers, which can bring
total headcount to approximately 500 at the peak of business.
M&M has not
suffered significantly from increased raw material prices due to the short-term
nature of its contracts. Few of its contracts take longer than six months to
complete.
The two most
significant customers for M&M in 2005 were Inco and Deer Lake Power, which
accounted for 44.7% and 18.6% of its 2005 sales, respectively. M&M’s
operations also rely on a contract between Liannu LLP,
2
a joint venture between
M&M and a native Canadian individual (Innu), and Voisey’s Bay Nickel
Company, owners of the Voisey’s Bay nickel mine in Labrador, Canada. This
contract, which provides the vast majority of the revenue for the joint venture,
provided $3.8 million, (18.6%) in revenue during 2005. Voisey’s Bay is a
subsidiary of Inco, which makes the total revenue from Inco-related companies
63.3% of the revenue for this segment.
The competitive
environment is largely localized to the province of Newfoundland and Labrador,
Canada, which is primarily due to the fact that Newfoundland is an island. In
addition, since M&M operates in a unionized environment, there are many
issues that make bidding for work outside the province difficult. However,
M&M is the largest mechanical and industrial contractor in the region, and
many large-scale industrial developments are currently under way or in the early
stages of development. For example, there are currently three operating offshore
oil developments off the coast of Newfoundland, each of which M&M has been
involved with in terms of construction and ongoing maintenance. Plans are also
under way to further develop the offshore oil and natural gas fields in the
coming years. In addition, Newfoundland and Labrador is home to an oil refinery,
pulp and paper mills, hydroelectric power generation, and the largest nickel
mine site in the world (Voisey’s Bay). All of these markets have provided
significant work to M&M in the past and are expected to provide additional
work in the future.
Generally, work in the
region is awarded on the basis of invitations to tender bids. M&M is well
known in the area and, therefore, is invited to bid on virtually every major
mechanical and industrial tender package that arises. The award of contracts
largely depends on price, but customers will typically consider the Company’s
reputation and ability to get the work done properly and on time. On occasion,
M&M has been awarded contracts for which it was not the low bidder simply
due to the fact that it is a “preferred” supplier for certain customers.
Repair and
Overhaul
The Repair and Overhaul
segment provides services to the maritime industry, predominantly for on-board
ship repair of HVAC and refrigeration systems, welding services, and custom
flooring, insulation, and machinery installations. The group has also performed
extensive work replacing navigation towers destroyed by Hurricane Katrina. This
unit is based out of Port Canaveral, Florida and employs approximately 20
people.
The competitive
environment of the segment is fairly limited, with the major competitor of the
Company being Standard Marine. Many contract awards are issued with minimal
competitive bidding; past performance is a key component of award decisions. The
major clients of this segment are the U.S. Coast Guard, Disney Cruise Lines,
Rinker Cement, and the U.S. Navy.
Procurement
Services
The Procurement
Services segment provides procurement consulting services consisting of
providing staffing and procurement expertise in executing all phases of the
procurement cycle from proposal preparation to closeout. We also perform
material procurement for acquisition support contracts. We provide staffing to
reinforce capabilities, meet surge requirements, or prepare for
inspections/audits of contracts and subcontracts. We assist in supplementing
client staff domestically and internationally for short periods or for sustained
operations. Staffing is often task-organized to meet specific procurement
requirements, such as purchasing, subcontracting, or lower-tier subcontract
management. We provide buyers, subcontract administrators and compliance
professionals. We support clients using our own purchasing system, or we can use
the client’s purchasing system to meet government or commercial mission needs.
The segment is based out of our corporate headquarters in Falls Church,
Virginia, and employs 26 people.
The volume of business
is primarily from the support of major infrastructure construction or logistics
projects, such as disaster relief, peacekeeping, nation building and military
operations. This has been particularly true in 2005 as a result of events in
Iraq and Hurricane Katrina. Most of our revenue in this segment has come from
two clients, and our ability to retain these clients is based on our
performance.
The industry is fairly
fragmented for procurement outsourcing, with many small companies competing. The
competition for new work primarily centers on past performance, the experience
required for the procurement at hand, and price. The ability to quickly deploy
the right staff to meet specific procurement requirements is key to success in
this business.
3
Engineering
Services
The Engineering
Services segment focuses on providing engineering, environmental science, and
occupational safety and health services to a predominantly governmental client
base. This work is primarily focused in the areas of U.S. national security,
energy and environment, and occupational safety and health. This is a
service-based segment that relies on its people to maintain the reputation of
the Company to expand operations and improve our marketability. The Company has
been successful in recruiting top-level candidates to staff open client-focused
positions. The applicant pool for the expertise we need appears to be
sufficiently deep to meet our needs. This segment is primarily based out of our
Falls Church, Virginia, headquarters and employs approximately 100 people.
The national security
work is primarily focused on adjunct staffing and management studies on behalf
of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, U.S. Customs and Border Protection and the
U.S. Army Chemical Materials Agency. In addition to the staffing and management
studies, we provide engineering and design services to the U.S. Air Force for
base security upgrades. This is a very large, competitive market segment with
some of the largest businesses and institutions in the country competing, in
addition to numerous small and emerging businesses. Success is dependant on high
performance, expert personnel, intimate knowledge of the organizations being
served, and strong relationships with the clients and our private sector
partners. This market sector is dependant on the federal budget cycle, federal
expenditures, and related priorities.
The energy and
environment market place is dominated by several large contractors, including
Bechtel National and Battelle, with many small and emerging companies competing
as well. The competition for new work is focused on having the specific
technical capabilities, as well as the longstanding relationships and existing
contracts that enable incumbents on projects to expand their services. The
services we provide include engineering, environmental sampling and remediation,
policy development and support, outreach, cultural and natural resources
studies, underwater capping of contaminated river sediments, and environmental
compliance support to federal entities.
Our occupational health
and safety work is predominantly with the Department of Transportation, with our
two major clients being the Transportation Security Administration and the
Federal Aviation Administration. The services we perform include client staff
augmentation, policy development and implementation, hazard assessment, and
investigation services to assess hazardous conditions and compliance with
policies and to make improvements to those policies. Successful competition in
this area depends primarily on past performance and customer relationships. No
single competitor of the Company dominates the industry.
Backlog
The Company is
reporting two types of backlog: funded and unfunded. These classifications
differ significantly in terms of their expected value to the Company and the
expected realization of these amounts. The funded backlog, as shown in the table
below, includes all contracts that have been awarded and funded by the client,
in most cases a governmental entity. Funded contracts are subject to changes in
work scope, delays in project startup, and cancellation by the client. The
unfunded backlog comprises contract awards that, at present, have no funding or
confirmed orders on which to rely. An example of this would be GSA schedule
awards that are indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity awards. While these
contracts have the potential to generate revenue, the amount, timing and
certainty of those revenues are unknown.

The amount of unfunded
backlog as of March 15, 2006, is approximately $123 million.

The Industrial and
Offshore segment has no backlog due to the short-term nature of work in the
segment.
Environmental
Matters
Our operations include
the use and disposal of hazardous materials. The Company never takes title to
hazardous materials. We are subject to various federal, state, and local laws
and regulations relating to the protection of the environment, including those
governing the discharge of pollutants into the air and water, the management and
disposal of hazardous substances and wastes, the cleanup of contaminated sites,
and the maintenance of a safe workplace. We believe that we are in compliance
with environmental laws and regulations and that we have no known liabilities
under environmental requirements that would have a material adverse impact on
our business, results of operations, or financial condition. Over the past three
years, we have not incurred any material costs relating to environmental
compliance.
Item 1A. Risk
Factors.
The Company is subject
to several risk factors that could have a direct and material impact on the
operations of the Company. These risk factors are described below.
We may not receive
the full amount of our contract awards.
The Company receives
many government contract awards that include both funded and unfunded amounts.
While the Company believes that most contracts will become fully funded and
executed, there are occasions where the final executed amount of the contract
may be substantially less than the contract award. Congress often appropriates
funds for our clients on an annual basis, even though our contracts may call for
services over a number of years. As a result, Congress may elect not to fund a
particular contract in future years. Additionally, the funded amounts on
contracts may not be fully recognized as revenue if the priorities of the
contract-issuing agencies change and funding is re-appropriated for other uses.
Increased raw
material prices may adversely affect contract profitability.
The Company has
experienced significant increases in both steel and aluminum raw material
prices. Continued increases in the price of raw materials could have a negative
impact on the profitability of the Company. Many of our contracts in our
manufacturing operations are fixed-price contracts and are not automatically
re-priced when raw material costs increase. We aggressively pursue our contract
rights to receive compensation for these increased costs, where available, but
not all contracts have price-adjustment clauses that allow the Company to
recover such cost increases.
Loss of bonding may
adversely impact our Canadian operations.
The Company has
obtained bonding in Canada through posting a cash deposit with a Canadian surety
company. This was the only option available for securing adequate bonding for
M&M to continue its operations. The loss of such bonding could have a
material adverse impact on the revenues and related profitability of M&M.
The Company is currently seeking non-cash secured bonding. Failure to obtain
such bonding could adversely affect the Company through reduced revenue and
profit.
Our quarterly
operating results may fluctuate significantly as a result of factors outside of
our control, which could cause the market price of our common stock to
decline.
Our revenue and
operating results could vary significantly from quarter to quarter. In addition,
we cannot predict with certainty our future revenue or results of operations. As
a consequence, our operating results may fall below the expectations of
securities analysts and investors, which could cause the price of our common
stock to decline. Factors that may affect our operating results include, without
limitation, the following:
| |
• |
|
Fluctuations in revenue earned on contracts; |
5
| |
• |
|
Commencement, completion, or termination of contracts during any
particular quarter; |
| |
| |
• |
|
Variable purchasing patterns under GSA schedule contracts and
agency-specific indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity contracts; |
| |
| |
• |
|
Provision of services under a share-in-savings or performance-based
contract; |
| |
| |
• |
|
Additions and departures of key personnel; |
| |
| |
• |
|
Strategic decisions by us or our competitors, such as acquisitions,
divestitures, spin-offs, joint ventures, strategic investments, or changes
in business strategy; |
| |
| |
• |
|
Contract mix, the extent of use of subcontractors, and the level of
third-party hardware and software purchases for customers; |
| |
| |
• |
|
Changes in presidential administrations and senior federal government
officials that affect the timing of procurements; |
| |
| |
• |
|
Changes in policy or budgetary measures that adversely affect
government contracts in general; |
| |
| |
• |
|
The seasonality of our business; and |
| |
| |
• |
|
Changes in the volume of material procurements we
perform. |
Reductions in revenue
in a particular quarter could lead to lower profitability in that quarter
because a relatively large amount of our expenses are fixed in the short-term.
We may incur significant operating expenses during the startup and early stages
of large contracts and may not receive corresponding payments or revenue in that
same quarter. We may also incur significant or unanticipated expenses when
contracts expire or are terminated or are not renewed. In addition, payments due
to us from government agencies may be delayed due to billing cycles or as a
result of failures of governmental budgets to gain Congressional and
administration approval in a timely manner.
Our business
commitments require our employees to travel to potentially dangerous places,
which may result in injury to our employees.
Our business involves
providing services that require our employees to operate in various countries
around the world, including Iraq. These countries may be experiencing political
upheaval or unrest, and in some cases war or terrorism. Certain senior-level
employees or executives may, on occasion, be part of the teams deployed to
provide services in these countries. As a result, it is possible that certain of
our employees or executives will suffer injury or bodily harm in the course of
these deployments. It is also possible that we will encounter unexpected costs
in connection with additional risks inherent with sending our employees to
dangerous locations, such as increased insurance costs, as well as the
repatriation of our employees or executives for reasons beyond our control.
These problems could cause our actual results to differ materially from those
anticipated.
Unfavorable
government audit results could force the Company to adjust previously reported
operating results and could subject us to a variety of penalties and
sanctions.
A significant portion
of our revenue comes from payments made by the U.S. government on prime
contracts and subcontracts. The costs of these contracts are subject to audit by
the Defense Contract Audit Agency (DCAA). Disallowance of these contract costs
by the DCAA could adversely affect the Company’s financial statements.
Management periodically reviews its estimates of allowable and unallowable costs
based on the results of government audits and makes adjustments as necessary.
If the government
discovers improper or illegal activities, by the Company or its employees, the
Company may be subject to civil and criminal penalties and administrative
sanctions, including contract termination, forfeiture of profits, suspension of
payments, fines, and suspension or disbarment from conducting future business
with the government. In addition, the Company could suffer serious harm to its
reputation if allegations of impropriety were made against it, whether or not
true. The Company is not aware of any instances of improper or illegal
activities of its employees.
Horne is the only
subsidiary subject to incurred costs at this time. Horne is current on its DCAA
audits through 2002 and has not had any significant audit findings in any recent
DCAA audit.

The facilities for

The two facilities for
our Security Solutions segment are fully utilized. Accordingly, we are
evaluating alternatives to expand our operations in Ft. Walton Beach, Florida in
order to increase revenue. The Company’s other facilities for manufacturing and
fabrication appear sufficient to meet its needs at this time. However, should we
be successful in winning any large contract awards, we may need to increase our
facility space.

2004 Non-Statutory
Stock Option Plan
The 2004 Non-Statutory
Stock Option Plan was adopted by the Board of Directors on March 11, 2004.
The plan was intended to advance the interests of the Company by encouraging and
enabling eligible employees, non-employee directors, consultants and advisors to
acquire proprietary interests in the Company, and by providing the participating
employees, non-employee directors, consultants, and advisors with an additional
incentive to promote the success of the Company. Under this plan, a maximum of
10,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001, were
authorized for issue. Options issued under this plan would expire one year from
the date of issue.

Amended and
Restated Number 1 2004 Non-Statutory Stock Option Plan
The Amended and
Restated Number 1 2004 Non-Statutory Stock Option Plan was adopted by the Board
of Directors on April 16, 2004. This restated plan took the same form as
the 2004 Non-Statutory Stock Option Plan with the exception that the maximum
number of options shares authorized under this plan was increased to 30,000,000
shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001.
Amended and
Restated Number 2 2004 Non-Statutory Stock Option Plan
The Amended and
Restated Number 2 2004 Non-Statutory Stock Option Plan was adopted by the Board
of Directors on November 15, 2004. This restated plan took the same form as
the earlier plans, except that it amended the expiration date on future stock
options issued from one year to three years and likewise extended the expiration
date of any options issued pursuant to such prior stock option plans. No
additional options shares were authorized under this amended plan.

The financial
information above is reflective of the operations since 2000. Prior to
April 2003, Spectrum Holdings’ predecessor company, Silva Bay
International, Inc., was a non-reporting entity that had no financial activity.
The information shown above for the years 2001 and 2002 is for SSSI, which the
Company acquired on April 3, 2003.
The Company uses
certain measures of performance that are not required by, or presented in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Specifically,
the Company uses non-GAAP financial measures, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA. These
measures should not be considered as an alternative to income from operations,
net income, net income per share, or any other performance measure derived in
accordance with GAAP.
EBITDA represents net
income before interest, taxes, non-cash stock option awards to employees or
directors, depreciation, and amortization. We use EBITDA to facilitate operating
performance comparisons from period to period. We believe EBITDA facilitates
company-to-company comparisons by excluding potential differences caused by
variations in capital structures (affecting interest expense), taxation, and the
age and book depreciation of facilities and equipment (affecting depreciation
expense), which may vary from company to company. We also use EBITDA to evaluate
and price potential acquisition candidates.
In addition to EBITDA,
we use a measure called Adjusted EBITDA, which we define as EBITDA that excludes
the effects of discontinued operations, cumulative effects of accounting
changes, and other non-operating items that represent non-recurring events. Our
management does not view these types of charges as indicative of the status of
our operations.

Item 7.
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations.
The financial and
business analysis below provides information that the Company believes is
relevant to an assessment and understanding of the Company’s consolidated
financial position, results of operations, and cash flows. This financial and
business analysis should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial
statements and related notes.
The following
discussion and certain other sections of this report contain statements
reflecting the Company’s views about its future performance and constitute
“forward-looking statements” under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act
of 1995. These views involve risks and uncertainties that are difficult to
predict and, accordingly, the Company’s actual results may differ materially
from the results discussed in such forward-looking statements. Readers should
consider that various factors, including changes in general economic conditions
and competitive market conditions; price pressures; relationships with key
customers; and other factors discussed in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors,”
and the sections entitled “Executive-Level Overview” and “Critical Accounting
Estimates” below, may affect the Company’s performance. The Company undertakes
no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statements as a result of
new information, future events, or otherwise.
Executive-Level
Overview
The Company grew and
changed dramatically in 2005 as a result of mergers and acquisitions. The
Company now has four wholly owned subsidiaries — SSSI, M&M, CEECO, and Horne
— and five business segments. In addition to expanding its market base and
business offerings, the Company installed a new management team, placed top
10
priority on issues of
corporate governance, implemented changes to make operations more efficient and
internal controls sound, and created a platform for well-managed, sustainable
growth.
The Company’s Security
Solutions business segment is represented by SSSI. Located in Fort Walton Beach,
Florida, SSSI is now focused on manufacturing critical, customized equipment
components for the Department of Defense. We have installed an experienced
management team to oversee operations, augmented our financial and contract
capability, identified high-technology equipment that will make us more
profitable, and instituted improved pricing and cost-control procedures. Because
of strong business relationships and successful first-article work this past
year, we expect revenue in 2006 to be almost twice what is was last year. Among
its upcoming projects, SSSI will be building a new Advanced Medium-Range
Air-to-Air Missile (AMRAAM) container for the U.S. Air Force and serving as
the Air Force’s container repair center, manufacturing spare parts and equipment
to support the AMRAAM program, and supporting the requirement to install an
additional seat in the C-130 Aircraft.
The Industrial and
Offshore business segment is represented by M&M and its wholly owned
subsidiary, M&M Offshore Limited. Based in St. John’s, Newfoundland, M&M
provides services to the industrial and energy industry in eastern Canada. In
2005, M&M accounted for 38 percent of Spectrum Holdings’ operational
revenue and contributed $735,000 of operating profit. Operationally, however,
M&M is a challenge to integrate into the Spectrum Holdings family because of
its geographic location and distinct corporate culture and because it is subject
to a completely separate set of laws and regulations. Therefore, we are
assessing strategic alternatives for the M&M subsidiary. M&M’s revenues
have been fairly consistent from year to year, and we expect this to continue.
For reasons of climate, M&M’s operations are seasonal and backlog rarely
carries over from year to year.
The Repair and Overhaul
segment, represented by CEECO, is headquartered in Port Canaveral, Florida.
CEECO has a solid, niche-market business model serving government and industrial
customers in Florida and the U.S. Gulf Coast area. CEECO has been helping the
Coast Guard to rebuild portions of the waterway navigation system in the
Mississippi River Delta damaged by Hurricane Katrina. CEECO posted
$2 million in revenue in 2005 and is poised for at least a 25-percent
increase in 2006. The main drivers of this growth are expected to be ship
repair, refurbishment and replacement operations, production of buoys for the
Coast Guard, and contracts designed to improve U.S. long-term maritime safety
and communications security.
The Procurement
Services segment is managed from Horne’s headquarters in Falls Church, Virginia,
but also provides services at client sites elsewhere in the United States and
abroad. Although it was a part of the Company for only two-thirds of the year
and its profit margins were below the overall average for our operations, the
Procurement Services business segment has proven to be an efficient and growing
revenue generator, providing 30 percent of our total 2005 revenue,
contributed $992,000 of our total 2005 operating profit, and strong cash flow.
This segment’s success has resulted from our strong relationships with several
major contractors, the in-house expertise we have developed, and our ability to
staff up rapidly to meet customer requirements both nationally and
internationally. We expect the revenue for this group to grow substantially
during 2006. The demand for procurement work is directly related to the level of
major infrastructure reconstruction activity, and significant fluctuations in
this demand could materially affect the Company’s revenue.
The Engineering
Services segment, also represented by Horne, consolidates all our
non-manufacturing engineering operations. With work performed at Horne
facilities and customer sites, this segment focuses on providing engineering,
environmental remediation, and occupational safety and health services. Although
part of Spectrum Holdings for only two-thirds of 2005, Engineering Services
accounted for 17 percent of the Company’s revenue and contributed $340,000
of operating profit. The software engineering group that is responsible for the
Safe Range and Safe Borders programs was transferred from the Security Solutions
segment to the Engineering Services segment at the beginning of 2006. We expect
revenues in this business segments to grow substantially during 2006.
The business synergy
created by the merger with Horne has resulted in some exciting prospects for the
Company. At this time, we are pursuing roles on four large-scale contracts
related to homeland security, environmental restoration, critical
infrastructure, and emergency preparedness: the multi-billion-dollar Integrated
Wireless Network (IWN) procurement collaborative effort by the Departments
of Justice, Homeland Security, and the Treasury; the SBInet component of U.S.
Customs and Border Protection’s Secure Borders Initiative; the $3
11
billion Kuwait
Environmental Remediation Program for remediating and restoring water and other
natural resources damaged during Iraq’s 1991 invasion of Kuwait; and a major
infrastructure program for a confidential client.
Except for the
Industrial and Offshore segment associated with M&M, the Company is largely
dependent on the amount of U.S. government contracting in the areas of homeland
security, environmental management, infrastructure reconstruction, and munitions
management. Significant changes to the spending levels in these areas may have a
direct impact on the operations of the Company. Absent such changes, however,
management expects the Company’s organic growth to be in the range of 15 to
20 percent. Success in winning any one of the “breakthrough” contracts that
we currently are pursuing could spur a significantly greater growth rate for the
Company.
Accretive acquisitions
will also be part of our growth strategy. We continue to keep an eye out for
like-minded companies that will enable us to expand our core capabilities and
market reach. Of particular interest would be technology-oriented companies with
core competencies in areas such as geospatial intelligence systems, disease
surveillance data modeling, and mission-centered human resource management
systems.
Critical Accounting
Estimates
Management’s Discussion
and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations are based upon our
consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with
United States generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of these
financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and determine whether
contingent assets and liabilities, if any, are disclosed in the financial
statements. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and assumptions,
including those related to long-term contracts, product returns, bad debts,
inventories, fixed asset lives, income taxes, environmental matters, litigation
and other contingencies. We base our estimates and assumptions on historical
experience and on various factors that are believed to be reasonable under the
circumstances, including current and expected economic conditions, the results
of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets
and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results
may differ materially from our estimates under different assumptions or
conditions.
We believe that the
following critical accounting estimates, among others, require us to make
significant estimates and judgments in the preparation of our financial
statements:
Revenue
Recognition
The Company’s principal
method of revenue recognition is percentage-of-completion for longer term
fixed-price contracts and cost plus fee on reimbursable and time-and-materials
contracts. This methodology is used by all segments with the exception of Repair
and Overhaul, which utilizes the completed contract method for revenue
recognition. There is no material difference in the results of using completed
contract method versus percentage-of completion method due to the short-term
nature of the Repair and Overhaul contracts.
Revenue on fixed-price
contracts is generally recognized using the percentage-of-completion method
based on the ratio of total costs incurred to date compared to estimated total
costs to complete the contract, which the Company believes is the best measure
of progress toward completion. Estimates of costs to complete include material,
direct labor, overhead, and allowable general and administrative expenses for
our government contracts. These cost estimates are reviewed and, as necessary,
revised on a contract-by-contract basis. If, as a result of this review, we
determine that a loss on a contract is probable, then the full amount of
estimated loss is charged to operations in the period it is determined that it
is probable a loss will be realized from the full performance of the contract.
Significant management judgments and estimates, including, but not limited, to
the estimated costs to complete projects, must be made and used in connection
with the revenue recognized in any accounting period.
Management believes the
above methods and criteria are the best available measures of progress for such
contracts. Because of the inherent uncertainties in estimating costs and
revenues, it is reasonably possible that the estimates used will change in the
future.
12
The Company performs
equipment and material procurement contracts as a subcontractor. These contracts
require the Company to acquire large dollar items for federal governmental
entities through prime contractors. The Company recognizes revenues under these
contracts on a gross basis when the goods are shipped to the end user. The
Company uses the gross method of revenue recognition, as prescribed under EITF
99-19, “Reporting Revenue Gross as a Principal versus Net as an Agent,” as the
Company is the primary obligor in the transaction and is obligated to pay the
supplier for work performed regardless of whether the customer accepts the work.
The Company is responsible for the acceptability of the product and has the
latitude and negotiability to determine both the suppliers and the price in the
transaction. The customer has the right of return. Although the Company does not
take title to the goods, the Company conducts all business under these contracts
as a stand-alone entity using its own financial, staffing, and facility
resources. The Company is compensated for the material purchases at a fixed fee
percentage.
Net Operating Loss
Carry-Forwards
We have not recognized
the benefit in our financial statements with respect to approximately $11.0
million in net operating loss carry-forwards for federal income tax purposes as
of December 31, 2005. This benefit was not recognized due to the
possibility that the net operating loss carry-forward would not be utilized, for
various reasons, including the potential that we might not have sufficient
profits to use the carry-forward or that the carry-forward may be limited as a
result of changes in our equity ownership. We intend to use this carry-forward
to offset our future taxable income subject to any limitations. If we were to
use any of this net operating loss carry-forward to reduce our future taxable
income and the Internal Revenue Service were to then successfully assert that
our carry-forward is subject to limitation as a result of capital transactions
occurring in 2003 or otherwise, we may be liable for back taxes, interest, and,
possibly, penalties.
Goodwill
The Company records the
excess of purchase cost over the fair value of net tangible assets of acquired
companies as goodwill. In accordance with SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other
Intangible Assets,” the Company does not record amortization expense related to
goodwill. In the fourth quarter of each year, or as an event occurs or
circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a
reporting unit below its carrying amount, the Company completes a review of the
market value of that investment and related goodwill.
Determining market
values requires the Company to make significant estimates and assumptions. The
Company’s judgments are based on historical experience, current market trends,
consultations with external valuation specialists, and other information. While
the Company believes that the estimates and assumptions underlying the valuation
methodology are reasonable, different assumptions could result in a different
market value.
The Company is
evaluating strategic alternatives related to M&M, which has a goodwill
balance of $1.7 million as of December 31, 2005. The Company believes
that the overall value of the M&M subsidiary has not deteriorated since its
acquisition in February 2005.

The overall results of
operations were directly impacted by the acquisitions of M&M, CEECO and
Horne. These acquisitions contributed approximately $48.1 million of
revenue for the year and $7.6 million of gross profit. This level of growth is
not expected to continue in 2006. However, we do expect to see continued growth
in both revenue and gross profit in 2006 as a result of CEECO and Horne being
included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements for a full twelve
months. The growth in revenues from these subsidiaries during 2006 for the
13
months they were not
included in 2005 is expected to be approximately $30.0 million, which is
primarily due to the expected volume of procurement activity. Procurement
activity varies greatly from quarter to quarter and year to year, and the gross
margin is typically our lowest margin work. Approximately 80% of the
$30.0 million of comparable-period revenue growth is expected from
procurement. This increase in revenue may be impacted by the results of the
evaluation of strategic alternatives regarding M&M. The exact timing of any
activity regarding M&M may have a material impact on the income statement
because M&M’s business is seasonal, with the majority of its revenue
occurring between April and October. Overall, we expect revenue growth of 10% on
our base business from 2005 adjusted by those items discussed above. The
decrease in SSSI revenue over the past two years was caused by the completion of
the Gila Bend contract in September 2004. This is further discussed under
the Security Solutions segment below.
The low gross profit
margin for the Company in 2004 was due to the low-margin Gila Bend contract and
the ten first articles manufactured for verification purposes in pursuit of
large-volume government contracts. The overall gross profit margin for 2006 is
expected to remain consistent with 2005. This takes into account the increased
low-margin procurement work and improved profitability in the munitions area.
The net impact of all of these changes should result in no change to the gross
margin percentage for the Company.

The Security Solutions
segment has evolved from a segment that generated most of its revenue from range
maintenance contracts in 2003 to a unit that was primarily a manufacturing unit
in 2005. Manufacturing revenue has grown almost 100% over the past two years,
while range maintenance revenue has decreased by 97%. Range maintenance revenue
was approximately $9.3 million in 2003, $7.0 million in 2004 and
$0.3 million in 2005. This contrasts with the manufacturing group’s revenue
of $2.2 million in 2003, $2.7 million in 2004, and $4.2 million
in 2005.
The majority of the
range maintenance revenue was from the Gila Bend contract that was completed in
September 2004. This contract also contributed to the negative gross profit
swing from 2003 to 2004 as less favorable bid rates for the final contract year,
combined with Department of Labor actions and the settlement of a harassment
suit, resulted in negative gross profits. The Department of Labor actions and
the settlement cost the Company $0.5 million.
The remaining decrease
in gross profit in 2004 was the result of the successful completion of ten
first-article tests in the manufacturing group. First-article tests are the
opportunity for a manufacturer to demonstrate its ability to manufacture a given
product to client specifications in order to qualify to receive future awards.
The Company has historically expensed these costs as incurred, thereby
decreasing gross margin since no revenue is recognized against such costs.
In 2005, revenue from
manufacturing continued to increase — approximately 58% from 2004 — as a direct
result of the successful first-article work in 2004. Contracts for U.S. Navy
tubes and various military aircraft stands contributed directly to that
increase. The Company expects manufacturing revenue to continue to increase in
2006 — by approximately 100% from 2005 levels — as we continue to increase
contract orders as a direct result of our performance on the previous
first-article work.
The third component of
Security Solutions is the software group. The revenue from this group has been
decreasing over the three-year period — from $1.8 million in 2003 to
$1.5 million in 2004 to $1.1 million in 2005. The decrease from 2004
to 2005 was due to additional time spent on non-billable activity related to our
positioning on
14
the new Secure Borders
Initiative and time spent on a lawsuit against two former employees of SSSI. The
software group will be part of the Engineering Services segment in 2006.
Gross profit margins in
the Security Solutions segment remained negative in 2005 as a result of a
foreign military sales contract that is operating at a loss due to increased raw
material prices, increased non-revenue activity related to the Safe Borders
program, and closeout costs on the Gila Bend contract. We expect margins to
improve substantially during 2006 since we are renegotiating contracts with
unfavorable raw material pricing, we have instituted better pricing and
cost-control procedures, and we have a stronger contract base to absorb any
first-article work that may be undertaken.

The Company’s
Industrial and Offshore segment was created with the acquisition of M&M in
February 2005. The revenue from M&M was for eleven months, but closely
approximates a full year’s earnings due to the seasonality of the business. Very
little activity occurs between November and March due to the weather in
Newfoundland. The gross profit margins are in line with the historical gross
margins for this segment prior to the acquisition of M&M by the Company.
M&M also has investments in several joint ventures that are not reflected in
the figures shown above in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles. While the net impact of these investments was not material during
2005, these investments did provide significant net income for M&M in prior
years.
As previously
discussed, the Company has retained outside advisors to assist in evaluating
strategic options related to M&M. We expect revenue and gross margins to be
consistent with 2005 pending any strategic decisions.
This unit is also
affected by foreign exchange rates between the U.S. and Canadian dollars. The
exchange rate has improved from a U.S. reporting standpoint as the Canadian
dollar has strengthened since the acquisition of M&M. A change in the
exchange rate could directly affect the results of this unit. While not material
to the overall operations of the Company, any significant change in the exchange
rates may be material to the results of this segment.

The Repair and Overhaul
segment was created with the acquisition of CEECO in March 2005. The
revenue for this group is not seasonal, and we expect revenues to grow
substantially during 2006, mainly due to new work from the Hurricane Katrina
cleanup and the addition of two more months of operations.
The main source of new
work has been the replacement and repair of maritime navigation towers damaged
by Hurricane Katrina. This work is in addition to our base repair and
installation work on a variety of seagoing vessels. We expect revenue to
increase by 25% in 2006 as we expand our operations. This segment is dependant
on the services of Louis Rogers for the signing and completion of most
contracts. Mr. Rogers was the previous owner of CEECO and is under contract
with the Company through February 2007.

This segment was
acquired as part of the acquisition of Horne in May 2005. The revenue for
this segment can be expected to grow during 2006 as a result of adding four
additional months of operations. The segment will also increase by the addition
of the software group transferring from the Security Solutions segment in 2006.
Combined, these changes should increase revenue by approximately 50% for 2006 as
compared with 2005 revenue. Additionally, we are actively pursuing new contracts
that could increase that growth rate significantly.
The gross margin of
approximately 23% is consistent with the margins earned prior to the Company’s
acquisition of Horne. The margin rates going forward will depend on the revenue
produced by the software group with the Safe Range software package and our role
with the new Secure Borders Initiative. If we are not successful in securing our
position within the new programs, our profit margins in the software group and
within this segment may be negatively affected. Conversely, if we are successful
in securing a market for our services beyond our current position, our margins
may increase. At this time, we are unable to provide any guidance on how
successful we may be related to this issue.

The Procurement
Services segment was acquired as part of the Horne acquisition in May 2005.
This segment derives its revenue from two sources: material procurement and
acquisition services. The split of revenue between these two areas determines
the operating margin for the segment. The materials component is normally
high-revenue, low-margin work. The services piece is the opposite, with most
services being smaller dollar but having a much higher margin.
We expect the revenue
for this group to grow substantially during 2006 due to the timing of the 2005
work in relation to the timing of the acquisition of Horne. The majority of the
material procurement was performed prior to the acquisition. Thus, a
disproportionate share of services revenue was recognized in the revenue and
margin figures shown above. We expect revenue from our Procurement Services to
be approximately $5 million in 2006. We expect our material procurement
revenue to be in a range of $10 to $30 million for the year. The
variability of this work makes estimation difficult.

The decrease in
operating expenses is primarily due to a net reduction in stock option expenses
of approximately $33.1 million during 2005. This reduction is offset by the
increased cost associated with the acquisitions and management of the new
subsidiaries. We expect operating expenses to increase moderately in 2006 as a
result of owning all of the acquired companies for a full year, pending any
strategic decisions related to M&M.

Backlog by
Segment
The Company is
reporting two types of backlog: funded and unfunded. These classifications
differ significantly in terms of their expected value to the Company and the
expected realization of the amounts. The funded backlog, as shown in the table
below, includes all contracts that have been awarded and funded by the client,
in most cases a government entity. Funded contracts are subject to changes in
work scope, delays in project startup, and cancellation by the client. The
unfunded backlog is comprised of contract awards that, at present, have no
funding or confirmed orders on which to rely. An example of this is GSA schedule
awards that are indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity awards. While these
contracts have the potential to generate revenue, the amount, timing, and
certainty of those revenues are unknown.

The amount of unfunded
backlog as of March 15, 2006 is approximately $123 million.
The Industrial and
Offshore segment has no backlog due to the short-term nature of its work.
Liquidity and
Capital Resources
Cash and cash
equivalents totaled approximately $7.7 million at December 31, 2005.
During 2005, the Company used approximately $12.3 million cash for the
three acquisitions that occurred during the year. These funds were provided by
liquidating our short-term investments. The Company’s operations and lines of
credit have provided sufficient cash flow to operate the business, but these
cash flows were not sufficient to fund the acquisitions that occurred.
The Company anticipates
that funds from operations combined with our operating lines of credit will be
sufficient to provide for our 2006 operations and purchases of plant and
equipment, including the possible expansion of our manufacturing facilities in
Florida. The Company does not know if the funds available from operations will
be sufficient for any acquisitions that may be undertaken during the year.
Should the Company make any acquisitions, other sources of financing may or may
not be required.
The Company’s working
capital position at December 31, 2005, was $14.0 million, compared
with $26.3 million at December 31, 2004.
The Company has two
lines of credit available to draw on for future cash needs. The main line of
credit in the amount of $6.0 million covers the U.S. operations. M&M
maintains its own line of credit that has up to $1.4 million (Canadian)
available depending on the amount of receivables outstanding. Neither of these
lines had any outstanding balances at December 31, 2005.

Off-Balance Sheet
Arrangements
We have no off-balance
sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or
future material effect on our financial condition, results of operations,
liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.
Item 7A.
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
Interest Rate
Risk
At December 31,
2005, the Company had no amounts outstanding under a revolving credit facility.
We have not historically mitigated our exposure to fluctuations in interest
rates by entering into interest rate hedge agreements, nor do we have any plans
to do so in the immediate future.
Cash and cash
equivalents, as of December 31, 2005, were approximately $7.7 million
and are primarily invested in money market interest-bearing accounts. A
hypothetical 10% adverse change in the average interest rate on our money market
cash investments would have had no material effect on net income for the twelve
months ended December 31, 2005.
Our adjustable rate
mortgages contain interest rate floors and ceilings that limit the impact of
significant changes in interest rates.
Foreign Exchange
Risk
We are exposed to
foreign currency risks due to both transactions and translations between
functional and reporting currencies in our Canadian subsidiaries. We are exposed
to the impact of foreign currency fluctuations due to the operations of and net
monetary asset and liability positions in our Canadian subsidiaries.
In addition, we
estimate that an immediate 10% change in foreign exchange rates would affect
reported net income or loss by an immaterial amount. We do not currently utilize
any derivative financial instruments to hedge foreign currency risks.

Report of
Independent Registered Certified Public Accounting Firm
TO THE BOARD OF
DIRECTORS AND STOCKHOLDERS
Spectrum Sciences & Software Holdings
Corp.:
We have audited the
accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Spectrum Sciences & Software
Holdings Corp. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the
related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss),
stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period
ended December 31, 2005. These financial statements are the responsibility
of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on
these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits
in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight
Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the
audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are
free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An
audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.
In our opinion, the
consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of Spectrum Sciences & Software
Holdings Corp. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the
results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in
the period ended December 31, 2005, in conformity with U.S. generally
accepted accounting principles.

SPECTRUM SCIENCES
& SOFTWARE HOLDINGS CORP.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
1. ORGANIZATION AND
NATURE OF BUSINESS
Spectrum Sciences &
Software Holdings Corp. (the “Company” or “Spectrum Holdings”), headquartered in
Falls Church, Virginia, has five reportable segments: Security Solutions,
Industrial and Offshore, Repair and Overhaul, Engineering Services, and
Procurement Services. Security Solutions includes the design and construction of
munitions ground support equipment and containers for the shipping and storage
of munitions and software to assist in hazard management and weapons impact
analysis. The Security Solutions segment comprises the previously reported
segments of Management Services, Manufacturing, and Engineering and Information
Technology. Industrial and Offshore operations include the Company’s
engineering, mechanical contracting and steel fabrication operations in the
Province of Newfoundland, Canada. The Company’s Repair and Overhaul segment is
engaged in providing specialized fabrication and maintenance for ships,
lifeboats and maritime navigation systems. The Company’s Engineering Services
segment provides services to the federal government in the areas of energy and
the environment, homeland defense, and transportation. The Procurement Services
segment provides acquisition support services to both government and commercial
clients.
The Company acquired
M&M Engineering, Ltd. (“M&M”), Coast Engine and Equipment Company, Inc.
(“CEECO”), and Horne Engineering Services, Inc. (“Horne”) during the 2005 fiscal
year. Details of these acquisitions are included in Note 3.
2. SUMMARY OF
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Financial Statement
Presentation
The consolidated
financial statements include the accounts of majority-owned subsidiaries:
intercompany transactions are eliminated. Investments in unconsolidated joint
ventures were adjusted to fair market value upon the acquisition of M&M and
Horne, respectively. The investments are now recorded under the cost or equity
method.
Revenue
Recognition
The Company’s principal
method of revenue recognition is percentage of completion for longer term fixed
price contracts and cost plus on reimbursable time-and-materials contracts. This
methodology is used by all segments with the exception of Repair and Overhaul.
This segment utilizes the completed contract revenue recognition model. There is
no material difference in the results of using completed contract versus
percentage of completion due to the short-term nature of the Repair and Overhaul
contracts.
Revenue on fixed price
contracts is generally recognized using the percentage-of-completion method
based on the ratio of total costs incurred to date compared to estimated total
costs to complete the contract, which the Company believes is the best measure
of progress toward completion. Estimates of costs to complete include material,
direct labor, overhead, and allowable general and administrative expenses for
our government contracts. These cost estimates are reviewed and, as necessary,
revised on a contract-by-contract basis. If, as a result of this review, we
determine that a loss on a contract is probable, then the full amount of
estimated loss is charged to operations in the period it is determined that it
is probable a loss will be realized from the full performance of the contract.
Significant management judgments and estimates, including but not limited to the
estimated costs to complete projects, must be made and used in connection with
the revenue recognized in any accounting period.
Management believes the
above methods and criteria are the best available measures of progress for such
contracts. Because of the inherent uncertainties in estimating costs and
revenues, it is reasonably possible that the estimates used will change in the
future.
The Company performs
equipment and material procurement contracts as a subcontractor. These contracts
require the Company to acquire large dollar items for federal governmental
entities through prime contractors. The Company recognizes revenue under these
contracts on a gross basis when the goods are shipped to the end user. The
Company uses the gross method of revenue recognition, as prescribed under EITF
99-19, “Reporting Revenue
24
SPECTRUM SCIENCES
& SOFTWARE HOLDINGS CORP.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Gross as a Principal
versus Net as an Agent,” as the Company is the primary obligor in the
transaction and is obligated to pay the supplier for work performed regardless
of whether the customer accepts the work. The Company is responsible for the
acceptability of the product and has the latitude and negotiability to determine
both the suppliers and the price in the transaction. The customer has the right
of return. Although the Company does not take title to the goods, the Company
conducts all business under these contracts as a stand-alone entity using its
own financial, staffing and facility resources. The Company is compensated for
the material purchases at a fixed fee percentage.
Use of
Estimates
The preparation of
financial statements in conformity with United States generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Accordingly, results could differ from those estimates and assumptions.
Cash
Equivalents
The Company considers
all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less
to be cash equivalents.
Fair Value of
Financial Instruments
The carrying amount of
cash and cash equivalents, receivables, accounts payable, and accrued expenses
approximates fair value because of the short-term nature of those instruments.
The carrying amount and fair market value of the Company’s short-term
investments are the same since short-term investments are recorded at fair
value. Debt is recorded at the cash settlement value of the underlying notes
which approximates fair value as the interest rates are adjustable.
Significant
Customers and Credit Risks
Service revenue from
individual customers which constituted greater than 10% of the Company’s
consolidated service revenue for each of the years 2005, 2004, and 2003 is set
forth below:

|
Less than 10% of consolidated revenue as of the end of each
period. |
Due to the nature of
the Company’s business and the relative size of certain contracts, it is not
unusual for a significant customer in one year to be insignificant in the next.
However, it is possible that the loss of any single significant customer could
have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations. The
Company’s primary customers are government entities. If a single government
entity’s revenue exceeds 10% of the Company’s revenue, it is disclosed above.
Concentration of
Credit Risk
Financial instruments
that potentially subject the Company to credit risk consist of cash and cash
equivalents, accounts receivable, and unbilled services. As of December 31,
2005, substantially all of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents were held in
or invested with domestic banks. Accounts receivable from individual customers
which constituted 10% or more of the Company’s consolidated accounts receivable
for each of the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004, and 2003 is set forth
below:

Less than 10% of consolidated accounts receivable and unbilled
services as of the end of each period. |
In determining the
allowance for doubtful accounts, the Company analyzes the aging of the accounts
receivable, historical bad debts, customer creditworthiness, and specific
situations involving our customers. As the majority of our work is government
related, the risk of uncollectiblity is greatly reduced.
Inventories
Inventory costs are
stated at the lower of cost or market, determined by either the average cost or
first-in, first-out method. Inventory costs normally consist of work in progress
with raw materials or finished goods. The Company strives to order raw materials
and parts for delivery as needed. On occasion, the Company will advance purchase
raw materials where the discounted price of those materials is sufficient to
justify the carrying costs of said material.
Property &
Equipment
Property and equipment
acquired as part of the acquisitions of M&M, CEECO, and Horne were adjusted
to their approximate fair value at the time of acquisition, respectively. All
other property and equipment are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation.
Depreciation is computed on both an accelerated basis and straight-line methods
over the estimated useful lives of the underlying assets. Routine maintenance
and repairs are expensed as incurred. Major replacements and improvements are
capitalized.
Goodwill
The Company records the
excess of purchase cost over the fair value of net tangible assets of acquired
companies as goodwill. In accordance with SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other
Intangible Assets,” the Company does not record amortization expense related to
goodwill. In the fourth quarter of each year, or as an event occurs or
circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a
reporting unit below its carrying amount, the Company completes a review of the
market value of that investment and related goodwill.
Impairment of
Long-Lived Assets
The Company reviews the
recoverability of its long-lived assets groups, including furniture and
equipment, computer hardware and software and leasehold improvements, when
events or changes in circumstances occur that indicate the carrying value of the
asset may not be recoverable. The assessment of possible impairment is based on
the Company’s ability to recover the carrying value of the asset from the
expected future pre-tax cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges)
of the related operations. If these cash flows are less than the carrying value
of such asset, an impairment loss is recognized for the difference between
estimated fair value and carrying value. The Company’s primary measure of fair
value is based on discounted cash flows. The measurement of impairment requires
the Company to make estimates of these cash flows related to long-lived assets,
as well as other fair value determinations.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts
for income taxes utilizing the asset and liability method. This approach
requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected
future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the
financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and
their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carry-forwards.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates
expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary
differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax
assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the
period that includes the enacted date. Valuation allowances are established when
necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Research and
Development Costs
Research and
development costs are expensed as incurred. The Company incurred approximately
$216,000, $225,700 and $71,400 in 2005, 2004, and 2003, respectively. These
costs are included in operating expenses in the accompanying statements of
operations and comprehensive income (loss).
Earnings (Loss) Per
Share
The Company reports its
earnings (loss) per share in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards
Board (FASB) Statement No. 128, “Earnings Per Share.” Statement
No. 128 requires the presentation of basic and diluted loss per share on
the face of the statement of operations and comprehensive income (loss).
Basic earnings
(loss) per share (“EPS”) is calculated by dividing net income
(loss) by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during
the reporting period. Diluted EPS is computed in a manner consistent with that
of basic EPS while giving effect to the impact of common stock equivalents. The
Company’s common stock equivalents consist of employee, director, and consultant
stock options to purchase common stock. Common stock equivalents were not
included in the computation of diluted earnings (loss) per share for the
twelve months ended December 31, 2005, and 2004, as the inclusion of these
common stock equivalents would be anti-dilutive as the Company is in a net loss
position and including such shares would reduce the net loss per share. The
Company had no outstanding stock options as of December 31, 2003, thus
basic and diluted EPS were the same.
Financial
Instruments and Short-Term Investments
Short-term investments
generally mature between three months and two years from the purchase date.
Investments with maturities beyond one year may be classified as short-term
based on their highly liquid nature and because they represent the investment of
cash that is available for current operations. All short-term investments are
classified as available for sale and are recorded at market value using the
specific identification method; unrealized gains and losses are reflected in
Other Comprehensive Income. Investments consist of debt instruments. Debt
securities are classified as available for sale and are recorded at market using
the specific identification method. Unrealized gains and losses (excluding
other-than-temporary impairments) are reflected in Other Comprehensive Income.
Investments are
considered to be impaired when a decline in fair value is judged to be other
than temporary. The Company employs a systematic methodology that considers
available evidence in evaluating potential impairment of its investments. If the
cost of an investment exceeds its fair value, the Company evaluates, among other
factors, general market conditions, the duration and extent to which the fair
value is less than cost, as well as our intent and ability to hold the
investment. The Company also considers specific adverse conditions related to
the financial health of and business outlook for the investee, including
industry and sector performance, changes in technology, operational and
financing cash flow factors, and rating agency actions. Once a decline in fair
value is determined to be other than temporary, an impairment charge is recorded
and a new cost basis for the investment is established.
Foreign Currency
Translation
The Company’s
functional currency is the U.S. dollar, except that the functional currency of
M&M is the Canadian dollar. In the accompanying consolidated financial
statements, the monetary assets, with the exception of plant and equipment, and
certain liabilities of M&M were translated to U.S. dollars using the
December 31, 2005, exchange rate of 0.858 Canadian dollar to 1.00 U.S.
dollar. All monetary consolidated statements of operations items of M&M were
translated at the average exchange rate for the eleven months ended
December 31, 2005, of 0.8249 Canadian dollar to 1.00 U.S. dollar. The
Company had no foreign operations until the acquisition of M&M on
February 1, 2005.
Stock Based
Compensation
The Company has adopted
the fair value recognition provisions of the Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 123R, “Share-Based Payment.” Accordingly, the fair
values of stock option awards are determined using the Black-Sholes model. The
compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting
period. The Company has traditionally not included a vesting period for option
grants.

3. ACQUISITIONS
M&M Engineering,
Ltd.
On February 1,
2005, the Company acquired M&M, a provider of a complete range of mechanical
contracting and steel fabrication services to the industrial and offshore energy
sector, for $6,768,202 in cash; a combination of the purchase of 100% of the
common stock of M&M and an issuance of 1,000 preferred shares to the
Company. The purchase price for the common stock of M&M was $5,958,802 in
cash. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, M&M redeemed 1,000 of its
preferred shares held by EnerNorth Industries Inc., for $809,400 immediately
prior to closing the acquisition and issued the same number of preferred shares
to the Company for $809,400. The total cost of the acquisition includes
approximately $353,000 of acquisition-related expenses – for a total cost of
approximately $7,121,000. The primary purpose of this acquisition was to
diversify the Company’s corporate customer base beyond U.S. federal government
contracting and to capitalize on the growth potential in the natural resource
sector to include: the offshore oil and gas industries, the hydroelectric
sector, mining, and the pulp and paper industries in Newfoundland and Labrador,
Canada.
Coast Engine and
Equipment Company, Inc.
On February 25,
2005, the Company acquired 100% of CEECO, a provider of service to the maritime
industry predominantly for on-board ship repair of HVAC and refrigeration
systems; welding services; and custom flooring, insulation, and machinery
installations. The purchase price for CEECO included an initial cash payment of
$300,000 plus an earn-out over the next three years. Under the terms of the
purchase agreement, the Company will pay the former shareholders of CEECO a
total purchase price of up to $900,000 over a three-year period. The purchase
price is payable in cash and common stock of the Company and is subject to
certain adjustments, including, without limitation, adjustments based on CEECO’s
earnings during such three-year period. In addition to the $300,000 cash payment
for CEECO, there were approximately $36,000 of acquisition related expenses.
Pursuant to a security agreement executed in connection with the purchase
agreement, the former shareholders of CEECO will retain a security interest in
all of the assets of CEECO until the total purchase price has been paid. The
Company has a three-year employment contract with Louis T. Rogers, former owner
of CEECO. The CEECO acquisition allows the Company to take advantage of other
non-government customer bases in the south-central Florida region. It also
provides the opportunity to pursue business opportunities within the U.S. Coast
Guard and U.S. Navy by increasing the Company’s presence in that market. As of
December 31, 2005, CEECO has met the purchase price EBITDA goals for the
first year, as defined in the purchase agreement. While these results must be
verified through year-end audit, three-quarters of the first year earn-out of
$200,000, or $150,000 has been accrued.
Horne Engineering
Services, Inc.
On May 11, 2005,
the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Horne
Engineering Services, Inc. (“Horne”), from its shareholders, Darryl K. Horne,
Charlene M. Horne and Michael M. Megless (the “Horne Shareholders”), pursuant to
an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”). Pursuant to the Merger
Agreement, Horne was merged with and into Horne Acquisition LLC, a wholly owned
subsidiary of the Company. The purchase price for the capital stock of Horne was
$4.5 million in cash and 6.1 million unregistered shares of the
Company’s common stock (the “Shares”). Additional shares of common stock could
subsequently become issuable by the Company to the Horne Shareholders to the
extent that the average closing price of the Company’s common stock on NASD OTC
Bulletin Board, or other public securities market, for the trading days during
the two month period ending on May 11, 2007 is less than $3.25 per share,
subject to Horne (on a stand alone basis) meeting or exceeding 2005 gross
revenues of $75 million with EBITDA (as defined in the Merger Agreement) of
$3.25 million (the “2005 EBITDA”) and EBITDA of not less than
$3.25 million in 2006. Pursuant to an Amendment and Waiver Agreement
entered into among the parties to the Merger Agreement on May 11, 2005 (the
“Amendment”), the Company held back 4.0 million of the Shares payable to the
former Horne Shareholders under the Merger Agreement (the “Hold Back Shares”),
with the disposition of those shares subject to two conditions. First, the
Amendment requires the Company to release 3.0 million of the Hold Back
Shares to the former Horne Shareholders promptly upon receiving certain
third-party consents relating to certain of Horne’s contracts, which are
specified in the Amendment. As of November 11, 2005, the Company received
the required consents. Second, if Horne’s 2005 EBITDA is less than
$3.25 million (the “EBITDA Shortfall”), the Company will be entitled to
recover any remaining Hold Back Shares limited such that the value of the
recovered Hold Back Shares, based on the closing price of the Company’s common
stock on May 11, 2005, does not exceed three times
28
SPECTRUM SCIENCES
& SOFTWARE HOLDINGS CORP.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
the EBITDA Shortfall.
Based on Horne’s operating results for 2005, the remaining 1.0 million
shares will not be issued to the Horne Shareholders and the price guarantee on
the issued shares is no longer effective.
The total cost of the
Horne acquisition was approximately $13.6 million, consisting of cash of
$4.5 million, acquisition costs of $524,000 and 5.1 million shares of the
Company’s common stock valued at $1.68 per share, or $8.6 million. The
share price of the Company’s common stock was determined based on the average
share price at the time of the acquisition.
In connection with the
Merger Agreement, the Company and the Horne Shareholders entered into a
Registration Rights Agreement, dated May 11, 2005 (the “Rights Agreement”),
pursuant to which the Company agreed to prepare and file a registration
statement pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(the “Securities Act”), covering the resale from time to time of all of the
shares of the Company’s common stock issued to the Horne Shareholders pursuant
to the Merger Agreement.
Upon the closing of the
Merger Agreement, Messrs. Horne and Megless were appointed to the Company’s
Board of Directors. In connection with the Merger Agreement, Messrs. Horne
and Megless executed Employment Agreements with the Company, dated as of
May 11, 2005 (the “Employment Agreements”), pursuant to which such
individuals were appointed Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), and Chief Financial
Officer (“CFO”), respectively. Pursuant to a Stock Option Agreement executed in
connection with the Merger Agreement, Mr. Horne received an option to
purchase 1.0 million shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise
price of $1.65 per share, subject to Horne meeting the revenue and EBITDA
targets for 2005 as described above. Based on Horne’s operating results for
2005, these options are forfeited. The Company also reserved 2.0 million
shares of the Company’s common stock for the issuance of stock options to be
granted to the employees of Horne at the discretion of Mr. Horne.
The primary purpose of
the Horne acquisition was to effectuate a business combination pursuant to which
the management of Horne would replace Spectrum’s then-current management team.
Although Horne was acquired by the Company, Horne’s management has assumed
management responsibilities of the Company.
Each acquisition
described above was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting.
Accordingly, the purchase price has been allocated to reflect the fair value of
assets and liabilities acquired at the date of acquisition.

9. BORROWINGS AND
LINES OF CREDIT
The Company’s
borrowings primarily consist of two mortgages, collateralized by property in
Newfoundland, Canada and Ft. Walton Beach, Florida, totaling $2.1 million
and capital leases of $0.7 million. The interest rates on the mortgages are
adjustable with the first at the Royal National Bank of Canada’s cost of funds
plus 3.25% and the second at the U.S. federal funds rate plus 4% subject to
certain interest rate floors and caps as specified in the agreements. The rates
in effect at December 31, 2005 are 7.092% and 7.0%, respectively. The
interest rates on the capital leases range from 0% to 14.9%.
The Company also
maintains lines of credit through two of its subsidiaries. These lines of credit
provide operating funds for normal business activities. These financing
arrangements are described below.
CIBC Facility
M&M maintains a
revolving line of credit facility with a commercial bank, the Canadian Imperial
Bank of Commerce (“CIBC”). This credit facility (the “CIBC Facility”) was
initially entered into in December 1994 and has been amended and renewed
from time to time. The CIBC Facility currently allows the Company to borrow up
to the lesser of (1) $1.40 million Canadian, or (2) 75% of receivables
from governments or large institutions and 60% of other receivables to finance
working capital requirements on a revolving basis. The CIBC Facility is payable
upon demand and bears interest at prime plus 2.25%. As of December 31,
2005, there were no amounts outstanding under the CIBC Facility.
As collateral for the
CIBC Facility, M&M has provided a first priority lien on
(1) receivables, inventory and specific equipment; (2) a second
priority lien on land, buildings, and immovable equipment; and (3) an
assignment of insurance proceeds. M&M and M&M Offshore Limited, a wholly
owned subsidiary of M&M, have provided cross-guarantees to CIBC in an
unlimited amount to secure each other’s share of the CIBC Facility. The CIBC
Facility also requires M&M to comply with specified financial covenants,
including current ratio, debt/equity ratio and limits on capital expenditures,
dividends, and further encumbrances on collateral.
Bank of America
Facility
During 2004, Horne
negotiated two revolving lines of credit with the Bank of America. In 2005,
these credit lines were extended. The operating line of credit for $4,000,000
accrues interest at the London Inter-Bank Offered Rate (LIBOR) plus 2.75%
and now expires on February 28, 2006 (see Note 19). The contract line of
credit for $10,000,000 accrues interest at LIBOR plus 3.25% and expired on
December 31, 2005. At December 31, 2005, there was no outstanding
balance on either line.
Magna Credit
Facility
During 2003, Magna, a
joint venture of M&M, negotiated a credit facility in the amount of
$797,871, which is repayable on demand and bears interest at the bank’s prime
lending rate plus 1.50% per annum. As security, M&M has provided a $199,468
guarantee plus an agreement to postpone debt of a further $279,255. There was no
outstanding balance of this demand loan as of December 31, 2005. M&M
has not been liable for any guarantees

10. RELATED PARTY
TRANSACTIONS
Transactions related
to BG Capital Group Limited, Endeavor Group, LLC and Related Stockholders
The Company was
provided management consulting services by Endeavor Capital Group, LLC, which is
owned by one of the stockholders (Mr. Robert Genovese) of the Company
during 2004 and 2003. The terms of the original consulting agreement between
Endeavor Capital Group, LLC, and the Company was from March 1, 2003, to
March 1, 2004. Consulting fees were $4,000 per month under the terms of the
agreement. Management consulting fees of $4,000 a month for January and
February 2004 and expenses of $15,106 are reported as consulting fees
during 2004 and management consulting fees of $40,000 and expenses of $81,904
are reported as consulting fees during 2003 in the accompanying consolidated
financial statements.
On March 11, 2004,
the Company entered into a new consulting agreement with Mr. Genovese. The
term of the agreement was for a one-year period, and Mr. Genovese was
tasked with bringing to the Company’s attention potential or actual
opportunities that met its business objectives or logical extensions thereof,
alert the Company to new or emerging high potential forms of production and
distribution, comment on corporate development, identify respective suitable
merger or acquisition candidates and related due diligence and other such
planning and development services as requested by the Company.
On March 11, 2004,
as a result of execution of the new consulting agreement, Mr. Genovese
received options to purchase 9,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at a
per share exercise price equal to the lesser of $1.65 or the fair market value
at the time of exercise. In accordance with SFAS No. 123R, the Company
recorded consulting expense of $11,418,038 in the first quarter of 2004, based
on the fair value of the stock options at the date of grant using the
Black-Scholes pricing model.
On April 16, 2004,
the Company and Mr. Genovese amended and restated the March 11, 2004,
consulting agreement. The amended agreement extended the term of the contract to
April 19, 2006, and contained an exclusivity provision. As part of that
agreement, Mr. Genovese was issued options to acquire an additional
9,000,000 shares of common stock at a per share exercise price equal to the
lesser of $1.95 or 60% of the closing price on the day preceding notice of
exercise. In addition, Mr. Genovese was issued options to acquire 5,000,000
shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.65 as a result of his role in
the now-abandoned Inland Fabricators, LLC (IFAB) transaction. In accordance
with SFAS No. 123R, the Company recorded consulting expense of $21,526,862
in the second quarter of 2004, based on the fair value of the stock options at
the date of grant using the Black-Scholes pricing model. The total options
granted to Mr. Genovese during the twelve months ended December 31,
2004, were 23,000,000.
On May 4, 2004,
the Company suspended the consulting agreement with Mr. Genovese. That
suspension remained in effect until October 1, 2004, when the Company and
Mr. Genovese entered into a new consulting arrangement, which entirely
replaced all prior consulting

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
agreements with
Mr. Genovese. Pursuant to the new consulting agreement, Mr. Genovese
was retained to render limited independent advisory services concerning certain
merger or acquisition candidates for the Company. Mr. Genovese received no
additional compensation for these services. The new consulting agreement also
contained a variety of standstill provisions, pursuant to which
Mr. Genovese agreed, among other things, for a period ending on
December 31, 2005, not to acquire additional shares of the Company’s stock
and not to seek, either alone or as part of a group, to acquire control of the
Company. Pursuant to the new consulting agreement, Mr. Genovese has
provided limited services in connection with certain acquisition activities
undertaken by the Company. However, the Company is under no obligation to use
Mr. Genovese’s services in the future.
As part of the new
Consulting Agreement with Robert Genovese, the Company agreed to cancel
1,100,000 shares previously issued to Mr. Genovese and a related stock
subscription receivable in the amount of $1,815,000. The shares were cancelled
on October 18, 2004.
Mr. Genovese
effectively exercised 20,078,300 options during the first six months of 2004
with an aggregate exercise price of $35,282,685. The Company received
$31,752,811 of cash from Mr. Genovese and converted outstanding debt of
$3,529,874 owed to Mr. Genovese and related companies in lieu of cash for
exercise of these options. The Company owed Mr. Genovese $792,030 at
December 31, 2003. Mr. Genovese had advanced the Company $672,551
during the first four months of 2004 to pay operating expenses, and the Company
had accrued interest of $7,793 on two interest-bearing notes in the first
quarter of 2004. In addition, Mr. Genovese paid for certain investor
relations expenses totaling $2,065,000 during the first quarter of 2004 on
behalf of the Company. During the second quarter of 2004, the Company reversed
$7,500 of those expenses. In the fourth quarter of 2004, the Board of Directors
approved $705,126 of investor relations expenses previously disallowed bringing
the total investor relations expense paid by Mr. Genovese on behalf of the
Company to $2,762,626.
The Company had
recorded a receivable from Robert Genovese, a stockholder of the Company, of
$705,126 at December 31, 2004. However, the Company also recorded a payable
to one of Mr. Genovese’s companies of $705,126 at December 31, 2004,
primarily representing previously disallowed investor relations expenses, which
were subsequently approved on the basis that satisfactory support for such
expenses was provided. These receivables and payables are recorded as related
party amounts in the financial statements. On April 5, 2005, the receivable
of $705,126 was paid to the Company by Mr. Genovese and the payable to one
of Mr. Genovese’s companies in the same amount was paid by the Company.
Transactions with
the President of the Company
In conjunction with the
acquisition of Horne, the Company assumed a liability for a loan made by Darryl
Horne to Horne Engineering in the amount of $250,000. The loan was repaid in
full on June 29, 2005. In addition to the principal amount of $250,000, the
Company paid interest of $3,593.

related to the spouse of the former President of the Company
The spouse of the
former President of the Company advanced funds to the Company at various times
during 2003 and 2004. Total advances of $317,500 were provided during the year

$2,013 during 2003. The Company in the second quarter of 2004 repaid $52,500 to
the spouse of the former President of the Company. $50,000 in funds were

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
A director of the
Company was paid $12,863 as compensation for services rendered to the Company
other than ordinary services provided by a member of the Board of Directors in
connection with the acquisition of Horne and related matters.
11. EMPLOYEE
BENEFIT PLAN
The Company has a
defined contribution 401(k) plan available to all US employees who have
completed minimum service requirements and meet minimum age requirements.
Eligible employees may defer a portion of their salary as defined by Internal
Revenue Service regulations. The Company currently matches 50% of an employee’s
contribution up to 6%.
12. STOCK OPTION
PLAN
On March 11, 2004,
the Board of Directors approved and adopted a 2004 Non-Statutory Stock Option
Plan for 10,000,000 shares of common stock to be granted to employees,
non-employee directors, consultants and advisors. The vesting and terms of all
of the options are determined by the Board of Directors and may vary by
optionee; however, the term may be no longer than 10 years from the date of
grant. On April 16, 2004, the Board of Directors amended and restated the
stock option plan by increasing the number of shares from 10,000,000 to
30,000,000.
During the year ended
December 31, 2004, 23,000,000 options were granted to a non-employee
stockholder who provided consulting services to the Company as described in Note
8. The fair value of the first 9,000,000 options issued was estimated at the
date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following
weighted-average assumptions: risk-free interest rate of 1%; no dividend yields;
volatility factors of the expected market price of our common stock of 0.62; and
an expected life of the options of 2 years. This generates a price of $1.27
per option at the date of grant, which was March 11, 2004. As a result,
$11,418,038 of consulting expense and additional paid-in capital was recorded at
the date of grant. The fair value of the remaining 14,000,000 options issued was
estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with
the following weighted-average assumptions: risk-free interest rate of 1%; no
dividend yields; volatility factors of the expected market price of our common
stock of 0.67; and an expected life of the options of 1 year. This
generates a price of $1.67 per option on 5,000,000 of the options based on a
strike price of $1.65, and a price of $1.46 per option on 9,000,000 of the
options based on a strike price of $1.95, at the date of grant for both sets of
options, which was April 20, 2004. As a result, $21,526,862 of consulting
expense and additional paid-in capital was recorded at the date of grant.
On April 20, 2004,
the Company awarded 576,500 stock options to certain employees, officers, and
directors for services rendered. The Company has chosen to early implement FASB
Statement No. 123R, “Share-Based Payment,” which requires these options be
valued at fair value at the date of grant. The fair value of the options issued
was estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model
with the following weighted-average assumptions: risk-free interest rate of
2.62%; no dividend yields; volatility factors of the expected market price of
our common stock of 0.67; and an expected life of the options of 3 years.
This generates a price of $2.03 per option based on a strike price of $1.65 at
the date of grant, which was April 20, 2004. As a result, $1,169,628 of
compensation expense and additional paid-in capital was recorded at the date of
grant.
In addition, on
April 20, 2004, 75,000 options were issued to an individual who is a
consultant to the Company. On April 28, 2004, that consultant exercised
40,000 options and the Company received $66,000 of cash at exercise. These
options were valued at the fair market value at the date of grant in accordance
with SFAS No. 123R. The fair value of these options issued was estimated at
the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the
following weighted average assumptions: risk free interest rate 1%; no dividend
yields; volatility factors of the expected market price of our common stock of
.67; and an expected life of the option of two years. This generates a price of
$1.67 per option at the date of grant. As a result, $125,358 of consulting
expense and additional paid in capital were recorded at the date of grant.
On November 15,
2004, the Board of Directors approved and adopted an amended and restated
Non-Statutory Stock Option Plan to amend certain termination provisions. The
Company on that date also awarded 591,750 stock options to certain officers and
directors for services rendered. The Company has chosen to early implement FASB
Statement No. 123R, “Share-Based Payment,” which requires these options be
valued at fair value at the date of grant. The fair value of the options issued
was estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model
with the following weighted-average assumptions: risk-free interest rate of
3.12%; no dividend yields; volatility factors of the expected market price of
our common stock of 0.67; and an expected life of the options of 3 years.
This generates a price of $0.65 per option based on a strike price of $1.40 at
the date of grant, which was

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
November 15, 2004.
As a result, $229,136 of compensation expense and additional paid-in capital was
recorded at the date of grant.
On January 12,
2005, the Company executed stock option agreements with the directors and
officers of the Company, pursuant to the Amended and Restated Number 2 2004
Non-Statutory Stock Option Plan (the “Plan”). Pursuant to stock option
agreements, the Company granted options to each of Kelvin D. Armstrong, Karl H.
Heer, William H. Ham, Jr., and Nancy C. Gontarek to purchase 300,000 shares of
the Company’s common stock, $0.0001 par value per share, at an exercise price of
$1.65 per share. All the options become exercisable as of the date on which the
Company has consummated, since January 12, 2005, the acquisition of businesses
with annual revenues in the aggregate of at least $20 million. The options
expire on January 12, 2008. The Company has chosen to implement FASB
Statement No. 123R, “Share-Based Payment,” which requires options be valued
at fair value at the grant date, effective January 1, 2004. The fair value
of the options issued was estimated at the grant date using the Black-Scholes
option pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions: risk-free
interest rate of 2.84%; no dividend yields; volatility factors of the expected
market price of our common stock of 0.67; and an expected option life of
1.5 years. This generates a price of $0.63 per option based on an exercise
price of $1.65 at the grant date, January 12, 2005. As a result, $751,662
of compensation expense and additional paid-in capital was recorded at the grant
date.
On February 14,
2005, the Company executed additional stock option agreements with the directors
of the Company pursuant to the Plan. Pursuant to those stock option agreements,
the Company granted options to each of Kelvin D. Armstrong, Karl H. Heer and
William H. Ham, Jr., to purchase 500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock,
$0.0001 par value per share, at an exercise price of $2.50 per share. All of the
options issued to the directors will expire on February 14, 2008. All of
the options become exercisable as of the date on which the Company certifies,
based on the Company’s audited financial statements for the 2005 fiscal year as
filed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for such fiscal year, that the Company has
achieved earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization of
$4 million for the 2005 fiscal year. No compensation expense has been
recorded because the Company did not achieve the earnings target associated with
these options.
On April 7, 2005,
the Company granted certain employees options to purchase an aggregate of
502,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, $0.0001 par value per share, at an
exercise price of $1.95, pursuant to the Plan. All the options issued expire on
April 7, 2008. The fair value of the options issued was estimated at the
grant date using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following
weighted-average assumptions: risk-free interest rate of 3.02%; no dividend
yields; volatility factors of the expected market price of our common stock of
0.73; and an expected life of the options of 3 years. This generates a
price of $1.27 per option based on a $1.95 exercise price at the grant date,
April 7, 2005. As a result, $638,901 of compensation expense and additional
paid-in capital was recorded at the grant date.
On June 6, 2005,
the Company executed stock option agreements with certain employees pursuant to
the Plan. Pursuant to the agreements, a total of 13,750 shares of the Company’s
common stock, $0.0001 par value per share, were issued at an exercise price of
$1.28 per share. All the options issued will expire on June 6, 2008. The
fair value of the options issued was estimated at the grant date using the
Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted-average
assumptions: risk-free interest rate of 3.30%; no dividend yields; volatility
factors of the expected market price of our common stock of 0.73; and an
expected life of the options of 3 years. This generates a price of $0.62
per option based on a strike price of $1.28 at the grant date, which was
June 6, 2005. As a result, $8,462 of compensation expense and additional
paid-in capital was recorded at the grant date.
On June 8, 2005,
the Company executed stock option agreements, pursuant to the Plan, with Darryl
K. Horne and Michael M. Megless, who were appointed as directors of the Company
on May 11, 2005. Pursuant to the stock option agreements, the Company
granted, to each of Messrs. Horne and Megless, options to purchase 500,000
shares of the Company’s common stock, $0.0001 par value per share, at an
exercise price of $2.50 per share. All of the options issued to
Messrs. Horne and Megless will expire on June 8, 2008. All of the
options will become exercisable if and as of the date on which the Company
certifies, based on the Company’s audited financial statements for the 2005
fiscal year included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the
SEC for such fiscal year, that the Company has achieved earnings before
interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization of $4 million for the 2005 fiscal
year. No compensation expense has been recorded because the Company did not
achieve the earnings target associated with these options.

In determining the
extent to which a valuation allowance for net deferred tax assets is required,
the Company evaluates all available evidence including projections of future
taxable income, carry-back opportunities and other tax planning strategies. The
valuation allowance relates to our U.S. net operating losses. The portion of the
valuation allowance for which subsequently recognized tax benefits will reduce
goodwill is approximately $418,000. The Company had approximately
$11 million of net operating loss carry-forwards available to offset future
income. Due to the losses incurred by the Company in prior years, the Company
believes that it is more likely than not that the deferred tax asset related to
these net operating losses will not be realized. The net operating loss
carry-forwards, for federal purposes, will expire on or before the year 2025. If
in the future the Company determines that the utilization of these net operating
losses becomes more likely than not, the Company will reduce the valuation
allowance at that time.
The deferred tax assets
and liabilities that are recorded on the balance sheet relate to our Canadian
subsidiary, M&M. Based on the historical results of M&M’s operations,
the Company believes that for Canadian tax purposes these balances do not
require any valuation allowances.

16. SEGMENT
INFORMATION
Segment information has
been presented on a basis consistent with how business activities are reported
internally to management. Management evaluates operating profit by segment
taking into account direct costs of each segment’s products and services as well
as an allocation of indirect corporate overhead costs. Through its four
operating subsidiaries, the Company has five operating segments. The Security
Solutions segment as reported by Spectrum Sciences and Software, Inc. (“SSSI”)
includes operations for management services, manufacturing, and engineering and
information technology predominantly in the munitions and homeland safety arena.
The Industrial and Offshore segment reported by M&M includes the Company’s
engineering, mechanical contracting and steel fabrication in the Province of
Newfoundland, Canada. The Repair and Overhaul segment as reported by CEECO is
engaged in providing specialized fabrication and maintenance for ships,
lifeboats and maritime navigation systems. The two segments reported by Horne
are Engineering Services and Procurement Services. Engineering Services consist
of engineering, environmental remediation, occupational safety and
transportation consulting. The Procurement Services segment supports large
government programs for infrastructure rebuilding and acquisition. The following
is a summary of certain financial information related to the five segments
during the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003. Results are not
reported in 2003 or 2004 for the Industrial and Offshore segment, the Repair and
Overhaul segment, the Engineering Services segment, and the Procurement Services
segment as they were not part of the Company’s operations during that time
period.
For the year ended
December 31, 2005, the segment results reported for the Company include a
full twelve months of operations for SSSI, eleven months of operations for
M&M (beginning February 1, 2005), ten months of operations for CEECO
(beginning March 1, 2005), and eight months of operations for Horne
(beginning May 1, 2005). For the years ended December 31, 2004 and
2003, the segment results represent only those of SSSI. Note

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
that the previously
reported segments of management services, engineering and information
technology, and manufacturing have now been consolidated into the Security
Solutions segment consistent with how the Company is now being managed.

Legal
Matters
Title VII
Lawsuit
In December 2002,
three employees alleged a claim pursuant to Title VII claiming sexual harassment
and retaliation. The matter went to trial on January 31, 2005. The jury
awarded damages in the amount of $383,100. An objection to the judgment was
filed with the court alleging that the judgment awarded by the jury exceeded
statutory limits. A final settlement was entered into by the parties prior to
Defendant’s motion being adjudicated by the Court. Spectrum Sciences and
Software Inc. paid to the plaintiffs the sum of $188,000 as full and final
settlement of the claims.
Section 16(b)
claim
In July 2004, a
complaint was filed by Todd Augenbaum (“Augenbaum”) against Robert Genovese,
Endeavor Capital Group, LLC, and BG Capital Group, Ltd. (collectively, the
“Genovese Defendants”) seeking to recover “short-swing profits” alleged to have
been unlawfully obtained by Mr. Genovese and his affiliated companies in
violation of Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The suit
alleges that Mr. Genovese and his affiliated companies beneficially owned
more than 10% of the outstanding common stock of Spectrum Sciences &
Software Holdings Corp. (the “Company”) and that Mr. Genovese acted as an
officer and director of the Company. The Company was named as a nominal
defendant in the action, but has no liability for the asserted claims.
On November 17,
2005, the Company entered into a Stipulation and Agreement of Compromise,
Settlement and Release (the “Stipulation”) with Augenbaum and the Genovese
Defendants for the resolution of all claims in this action. Pursuant to the
Stipulation, the Genovese Defendants agreed to make settlement payments with a
total value
41
SPECTRUM SCIENCES
& SOFTWARE HOLDINGS CORP.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
of $3,250,000, payable
as follows: (1) an initial payment of $800,000 in cash following approval
of the Stipulation by the United States District Court, Southern District of
Florida (the “Court”); (2) a payment of $175,000 in cash within six months
following such Court approval; and (3) a payment of $2,275,000 in cash or
the Company’s common stock, valued at the closing market price of such stock on
the date of delivery, within eighteen months following such Court approval.
The Stipulation
provides that, of the total amounts payable by the Genovese Defendants, the
$800,000 and $175,000 payments are to be paid directly to counsel for Augenbaum
for attorneys’ fees and reimbursement of expenses and the $2,275,000 balance is
to be paid directly to the Company. The Stipulation was approved by the Court on
December 1, 2005, and the initial $800,000 payment was made.
In connection with the
Stipulation, the Company has also agreed to a Settlement and Standstill
Agreement with Robert Genovese and BG Capital Group, Ltd. pursuant to which the
Company will accept in satisfaction of all settlement amounts under the
Stipulation, other than the initial $800,000 payment, 1 million shares of
the Company’s common stock, less such number of shares that must be sold by the
escrow agent holding the shares to pay the $175,000 payment to Augenbaum’s
counsel. The Company, however, may elect by May 1, 2006 to receive all
1 million shares of the common stock provided that it assumes the
obligation to make the $175,000 payment. The Settlement and Standstill Agreement
also prohibits Mr. Genovese and BG Capital from engaging in certain actions
with respect to the Company until December 31, 2008. The Company has not
recognized any gain related to this transaction. The gain will be realized when
the stock is received and can be valued at the stock price in effect on that
date.
Claim by the former
President of the Company
On or about
August 24, 2004, Donal R. Myrick, former President and Chief Executive
Officer of Spectrum Sciences and Software Holdings Corporation (Spectrum
Holdings) filed a complaint in the Circuit Court in and for Okaloosa County,
Florida, alleging a breach of both an oral and written contract of employment as
well as a claim that Spectrum failed to timely issue an opinion letter to allow
the sale of plaintiff’s stock on the open market. On or about December 8,
2005, the parties entered into a Settlement Agreement and Mutual Release. Under
the terms of the Settlement Agreement, Spectrum Holdings agreed to pay to
Mr. Myrick the sum of $155,000 as full and final settlement of all claims
arising from or relating to his relationship with Spectrum Holdings as an
officer, employee, director or shareholder. The settlement funds have been paid,
and this matter has been dismissed by the Court.
Munitions Assembly
Conveyor (MAC) Lawsuit
On or about
August 23, 2004, Spectrum Sciences and Software, Inc. (SSSI) filed
suit against the United States alleging a breach of express contract, a breach
of an implied in fact contract, and misappropriation of trade secrets. SSSI
claims damages in the amount of $3,500,000. The complaint arises out of the
government’s actions associated with the procurement of the improved Munitions
Assembly Conveyor (MAC). Based upon SSSI’s previous experience in both utilizing
and producing the MAC, the Government and SSSI entered into a Cooperative
Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) for the purpose of improving
munitions support equipment, including the MAC. As part of the CRADA
negotiation, SSSI identified its prior development, unique modifications, and
improvements which constituted trade secrets and intellectual property owned by
SSSI. Subsequent to the completion of the CRADA, SSSI alleged that the
government deliberately breached its obligations to protect the trade secrets,
intellectual property, and proprietary information identified by SSSI in the
CRADA by disclosing and widely disseminating to the general public SSSI’s
proprietary information.
In response to a Motion
for Summary Judgment filed on behalf of the United States, the Court dismissed
the claim for misappropriation of trade secrets. The surviving claims remain
pending in the United States Court of Federal Claims in Washington, DC. The
parties are currently engaged in the discovery process. No trial has been
scheduled by the Court.
Garrison Lawsuit
On or about
February 22, 2005, SSSI filed suit against two (2) former employees,
Donald L. Garrison and David M. Hatfield, and Control Systems Research, Inc.
(CSR) alleging a breach of contract, a violation of the Florida Uniform
42
SPECTRUM SCIENCES
& SOFTWARE HOLDINGS CORP.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Trade Secrets Act,
Tortuous Interference, Conversion, and Civil Conspiracy. The complaint states
that while Mr. Garrison and Mr. Hatfield were employees of SSSI they
were actively involved in the development and application of the Safe Range
product which is proprietary to SSSI. The complaint further states that the
former employees had knowledge of other proprietary information such as employee
wage data, and personnel data, marketing plans, contract bidding data and
information related to the overall business operations of SSSI. SSSI alleged in
the Complaint that Mr. Garrison and Mr. Hatfield became employees of
CSR and that in the course of their employment with CSR they provided protected,
proprietary information learned in the course of their employment with SSSI that
enabled CSR to unfairly compete against SSSI on bids and proposals for contracts
related to the Safe Range product.
At present the parties
are engaged in the discovery process. No trial date has been scheduled by the
Court. The Company is unable to predict the outcome of this litigation.
Plum Island
Claim
Horne Engineering
submitted a three-part claim to the USDA (and later resubmitted to the
Department of Homeland Security because of a change in federal agency
responsibility for the project) seeking an equitable adjustment in the amount of
$835,793. The first part of the claim concerns the pumping of sludge from the
stabilization lagoon to the aeration lagoon. Based upon the contract documents,
Horne reasonably expected to pump 4,129 cubic yards of sludge. In fact, it
pumped an additional 3,459 cubic yards of sludge. Horne seeks $266,795 for this
work. The second part of the claim is for difficulty in pumping water from the
lagoon due to vegetation that clogged Horne’s subcontractor pumps. This
vegetation was not present in the pre site visit and was not included in Horne’s
bid price. Horne seeks $49,870 for this work. Horne’s third part of the claim is
for obtaining and placing an additional 6,750 cubic yards of borrow material.
There is a question of fact regarding the quantity calculations; however, the
Company believes its calculations are accurate and complete and seeks $519,128
for this work. On February 13, 2006, Horne received the Contracting
Officer’s final decision on the claim submitted. The claim has been denied in
its entirety. Horne may pursue the claim further either through the federal
court system or through the administrative appeals process of the USDA. No
decision has been reached as to whether the Company will pursue the claim and/or
by which process.
SEC
Investigation
On April 28, 2004,
Spectrum Sciences & Software Holdings Corp. was informed by the Securities
and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), Division of Enforcement, that it was
conducting an informal inquiry into the Company. In conjunction with that
inquiry, the SEC requested that the Company voluntarily provide the SEC with the
documents and certain information relevant to the investigation. The Company
provided all documents and information in a complete and timely manner. In
November 2005, the Company received a letter from the SEC informing the
Company that it was closing the investigation and that it had determined not to
pursue an enforcement proceeding against the Company or any current director or
officer of the Company.
