PART I

Item 1. Business

 

Unless this report indicates otherwise the terms ”Versar,” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to Versar, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries. Versar’s fiscal year end is based upon a 52 or 53 week year ending on the last Friday of the fiscal period and therefore does not close on a calendar month end. The Company’s fiscal year 2013 included 53 weeks, its fiscal year 2012 included 52 weeks, and its fiscal year 2011 included 53 weeks.

 

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

 

This report contains certain forward-looking statements that are based on current expectations. Actual results may differ materially. The forward-looking statements include, without limitation, those regarding the continued award of future work or task orders from government and private clients, cost controls and reductions, the expected resolution of delays in billing of certain projects, and the possible impact of current and future claims against the Company based upon negligence and other theories of liability. Forward-looking statements involve numerous risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially, including, but not limited to, the possibility that the demand for the Company's services may decline as a result of possible changes in general and industry specific economic conditions and the effects of competitive services and pricing; the possibility that the Company will not be able to perform work within budget or contractual limitations; one or more current or future claims made against the Company may result in substantial liabilities; the possibility that the Company will not be able to attract and retain key professional employees; failure to recover at-risk contract costs; changes to or failure of the Federal, State, or local governments to fund certain programs in which the Company participates; changes in customer procurement policies and practices; delays in project funding; effects of U.S Government conflict of interest policies; loss of anticipated new contract vehicles either due to funding changes or competitive factors, and such other risks and uncertainties set forth in this report and in other reports and other documents filed by the Company from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

Business Overview

 

Versar, Inc. is a Delaware corporation incorporated in 1969. We are a global project management company providing sustainable value oriented solutions to government and commercial clients. We also provide tailored and secure engineering solutions in extreme environments and offer specialized abilities in staff augmentation, performance based remediation, and hazardous material management.

 

Fiscal Year 2013 proved to be a challenging year for Versar, with decreased revenue and net income, compared to 2012, although our balance sheet remains strong and is a reflection of our ability to continue to improve liquidity and working capital. Ongoing macro-economic issues, such as sequestration, and ongoing federal budget issues resulted in slower and fewer contract awards across the federal government. However, this has caused an increased focus by our customers on the value of services provided. Both the commercial and government sectors are adjusting their needs to the new economic environment of constrained budgets and staffing, which is demanding greater productivity and value-oriented solutions from service providers. Additionally, management has decided that the Company’s chemical laboratory operation (“Lab”), domestic telecommunications (“Telecom”) operation, and U.S. product line (“Products”) are no longer aligned with the Company's business strategy. As such, management has elected to discontinue the Company’s operations in these three components and has ended revenue generating business operations.

 

Selling into this new economic environment has required increased emphasis on managing customer risk, whether that risk is related to construction oversight, as is the case with our work in Afghanistan and Iraq, or sustainability risk, as is the case with our commercial and U.S. based government work. This economic environment has also driven heavy investment in business development activities designed to specifically tailor responses to a customer’s value solution and sustainability needs. We have invested in new internal technologies to streamline processes and increase productivity and have realized benefits from continued cost reduction efforts concentrated on our fixed and controllable expenses.

As a service-based company, our revenue is primarily derived through the provision of labor-based services, rather than capital-intensive product offerings. Our revenue opportunities are driven by our ability to retain existing clients as well as attract new ones, providing quality and responsive value-oriented project management at competitive rates, and identifying and retaining a qualified team of employees.

 

Business Segments

 

The company is aligned into three reportable segments: Engineering and Construction Management, Environmental Services, and Professional Services; all described below.

 

Engineering and Construction Management (“ECM”)

 

This business segment performs Title I Design Services, Title II Construction Management Services, and Title III Construction Services, which are discussed further in the initial bullet below. This business segment also provides other related engineering and construction type services both in the United States and internationally and provides national security services in several markets that require ongoing services and support and which have received funding priority. Our services in this segment include the following:

 

·Title I services entail a broad range of expertise including project scoping/development, design, cost estimation, value engineering, and feasibility studies. Title II services involve construction oversight, configuration management, inspection, job site evaluations, and construction documentation among other areas. Other related services include system optimization, scheduling, and quality assurance/control. Title III services are the actual construction services. Certain staff members in this business segment also hold security clearances enabling Versar to provide services for classified construction efforts.
·This segment consists of federal, state, local, international, and commercial clients. Examples of federal work include construction and construction management services for the U.S. Air Force, construction management and personal services including electrical and engineering support to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, project and construction management services for the District of Columbia Courts, and other construction efforts. Work has also been concentrated in the local/municipal marketplace where we manage and construct water and wastewater infrastructure projects.
·This segment continues to pursue the development of opportunities in energy/green initiatives in conjunction with the Environmental Services business segment.

 

Environmental Services (“ESG”)

 

This business segment, provides full service environmental solutions and includes our remediation and compliance, exposure and risk assessment, natural resources, unexploded ordnance (“UXO”)/military munitions response program (“MMRP”), air, greenhouse gas, energy, and cultural resources services. Clients include a wide-range of federal and state agencies. Some examples include the following:

 

·We have supported the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for the past 25 years providing a wide-range of regulatory mandated services involving exposure assessment and regulatory review. Furthermore, we provide support to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and many local municipal entities assisting with environmental compliance, biological assessments, and natural resource management.
·For more than 30 years, Versar has supported the states of Virginia, Maryland, New York, Pennsylvania and Delaware on a variety of different environmental projects. For example, we have supported the State of Maryland in the assessment of the ecological health and natural resources risk of the Chesapeake Bay. Versar continues to assess how the Delaware River (PA, NJ, and DE) is affected by dredging programs. We assist several counties in Maryland and Virginia with their watershed programs, identifying impaired watersheds and providing cost-effective solutions for their restoration programs. We provide energy feasibility review, measurement and verification to the State of New York.
·We hold a key UXO removal contract supporting one of the largest U.S. Air Force testing and training ranges in the country and support (via a subcontract) a large Department of Defense (“DOD”) chemical warfare agent testing center. We exclusively provide UXO clean-up services at Ft. Irwin, CA, which is the National Training Center for DOD. This center is the size of Rhode Island and provides live fire training for U.S. Army forces.

·ESG is the prime contractor on three performance-based remediation (“PBR”) Task Orders under Versar’s 2009 United States Air Force Worldwide Environmental Remediation and Construction (“WERC”) contract for the U.S. Air Force Civil Engineering Center (“AFCEC”).  Each of the three contracts provide multi-year environmental restoration programs focused on achieving site-specific performance objectives (outcomes) for numerous project sites on USAF facilities in the Southwest, Midwest and Northeast.  We are also a key team member on a fourth PBR program for AFCEC providing similar services at Western USAF facilities.

 

Professional Services (“PSG”)

 

This business segment provides onsite environmental management, planning and engineering services to DOD installations and to the U.S. Department of Commerce (“DOC”). Versar’s provision of on-site services, or staff augmentation, serves to enhance the mission of the customer with subject matter experts fully dedicated to mission objectives. These services are particularly attractive in this economic environment as DOD shifts emphasis to its core military mission and downsizes due to increasing budgetary pressure. Primarily at the U.S. Army Installation level or DOD Joint Base level (two or more DOD facilities realigning management functions to establish a single entity) this segment serves government business by supporting customers in areas where their capabilities and capacities are lacking.

 

·This business segment provides expert services for Net Zero (Energy, Waste, and Water), sustainability and mission program support for U.S. Army installations. Our professionals facilitate strategic initiatives, develop implementation plans, conduct outreach, and apply technologies to deliver progress towards site-specific goals and objectives.
·This segment has Installation Restoration managers fielded under the Defense Environmental Restoration Program to clean up landfill and disposal sites throughout the nation and in Puerto Rico.
·Versar serves the joint military base communities with facility and utilities integration, National Environmental Policy Act considerations, water program management and wildlife program management.
·We manage hazardous materials and waste for large quantity generator sites through application of green procurement philosophies and hazardous material control program concepts.
·This segment provides staff augmentation ranging from field support of archaeological investigations to senior level advisors. Our archaeological and historic preservation professionals advise government officials regarding the protection of our nation’s cultural resources.
·We provide biological and physical sciences support to the National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration to ensure efficiencies and accuracies in the lab environment.

 

Revenue Earned by Geographic Location

 

Our consolidated gross revenue from continuing operations for fiscal year 2013 was $102.6 million, of which approximately $100.0 million was funded with U.S. currency and approximately $2.6 million of the remainder was derived from our PPS subsidiary in the United Kingdom. Approximately 39% of our fiscal year 2013 business was conducted in international locations, which included our reconstruction work in Iraq and Afghanistan.

 

Our consolidated gross revenue from continuing operations for fiscal year 2012 was $115.0 million, of which approximately $105.7 million was funded with U.S. currency and approximately $3.7 million of the remainder was derived from our PPS subsidiary in the United Kingdom. Approximately 36% of our fiscal year 2013 business was conducted in international locations, which included our reconstruction work in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Our Strategy

 

For the near-term, we believe the United States economy will continue to be sluggish. For several years we have noted that ongoing macro issues have resulted in slower and fewer contract awards across the federal government. However, our increased focus and investment in business development has allowed Versar to significantly increase both new orders and backlog. At the same time, however, the more rapid than expected decline in demand for a number of our niche offerings, such as laboratory testing and US-based hazmat suits (businesses that we have recently discontinued), has reinforced the need to constantly review and refine Versar’s strategy for the future. We continue to strongly believe that our Company’s capabilities and strengths align well with the future needs and demands of our clients. The federal government continues to fund areas that clearly align with Versar’s program management services – environmental remediation, sustainable firing range utilization/management, ongoing investments in military base efficiencies and renovation, and continued embracing of energy and environmental sustainability at US facilities around the world. The same is true at the state and local levels, where we are seeing increased levels of expenditure on infrastructure and environmental remediation. Internationally and commercially, we also see very strong alignment – increased awareness of the environment in lesser developed countries, renewed domestic construction and its associated project issues, increased natural resource extraction infrastructure demands in hazardous regions, as well as the United States’ continued presence in Afghanistan and other parts of the Middle East and South East Asia.

 

Specifically, the following four elements are driving our strategy:

 

·Pursuit of larger contract opportunities. Our move to large-business status, coincident with development of a stronger internal infrastructure and associated technologies, is allowing us to focus on pursuing larger prime contract opportunities. Strategic partnering, joint-ventures, and long-lead positioning coupled with Versar branding has the potential to provide increased growth and services.

 

·Leveraging of our services. This will allow us to work efficiently in the new economic environment whether through selling sustainable risk management services, utilizing our energy and environmental skill-sets or via effective use of our project and construction management skills in relation to complex project oversight. Expansion of our existing core capabilities in a broader and more comprehensive manner provides us with the understanding and insight necessary to reduce client risk.

 

·Expanding our international footprint. While we are strong internationally in the construction management business, incorporation of our non-construction services into our overseas offerings should allow for the transition of our proven domestic skills into the international market and will help us meet growing overseas client needs.

 

·Geographic and client expansion through acquisition. We have an active acquisition strategy and are focused on expanding our ability to offer our technical services to both new geographic areas and new clients, such as the U.S. Navy and the U.S. Department of State.

 

Competition

 

We face substantial competition in each market in which we operate as our markets become more crowded and price sensitive. Our competitors are often larger and have greater financial resources than us, which means that we have to be selective in our marketing and sales efforts and more adept in developing strategic partnerships to enhance our competitive advantage. We also believe that our larger size and diversified service offerings relative to the smaller, niche companies with which we also compete provide us with a competitive advantage.

 

Our business segments, consisting of ECM, ESG, and PSG, reflect a mix of business that we continue to believe will provide stability, while continuing to represent our core capabilities. Additionally, the combination of our core capabilities is an important selling feature as customers look for one source to meet their needs. We have seen that we are competitive among the firms that combine environmental health and safety/risk assessment and engineering design and construction capability in one package. We are actively pursuing customers that require these combined services as we leverage our capabilities into the changing economic environment.

 

We continue to adjust our pricing structure to ensure that we remain competitive across all business segments, while remaining conscious of the need to drive overall corporate profitability. Similarly, we are concentrating our marketing efforts on getting the most return on investment, through expanding support for existing customers, developing tasks under existing contracts, and collaborating with firms that need our specialized expertise.

Backlog

 

We report “funded” backlog, which represents orders for goods and services for which firm contractual commitments have been received. Based on past experience, the Company believes that approximately 90% of funded backlog will be performed in the succeeding twelve month period. However, no assurance can be given that we will ultimately realize our full backlog. Additionally, other companies with similar types of contracts to ours may not calculate backlog in the same manner we do, because their calculations are based on different subjective factors or because they use a different methodology. Therefore, information presented by us regarding funded backlog may not necessarily be comparable to similar presentations by others.

 

As of June 28, 2013, funded backlog was approximately $108 million, an increase of approximately 16% compared to approximately $93 million of funded backlog at the end of the fiscal year 2012. This increase reflects the award of several large long term contracts and is indicative of the high quality proposals that were developed as a result of proposal preparation staff training and business development investments over the past several years.

 

Our proposal pipeline is strong with multiple large long-term contract proposals awaiting award results that hold the possibility for further increasing our backlog. The outlook for the future indicates the ability to further increase our backlog as a result of our continued strong proposal efforts and pipeline.

 

Employees

 

At June 28, 2013, we had approximately 450 full-time employees, of which seventy-five percent are engineers, scientists, and other professionals.  Seventy-one percent of our professional employees have a bachelor’s degree, thirty-three percent have a master’s degree, and three percent have a doctorate degree.

 

Item 1A. Risk Factors

 

Our line of credit contains, and our future debt agreements may contain, covenants that may restrict our ability to engage in activities that may be in our long-term best interest, including financing future operations or capital needs or engaging in other business activities that require us to maintain specific financial ratios or levels.

 

Our line of credit restricts, among other things, our ability and the ability of our subsidiaries to:

 

·incur additional debt;
·pay dividends or distributions on our capital stock;
·purchase, redeem or retire capital stock;
·make acquisitions and investments;
·create liens on our assets;
·enter into certain transactions with affiliates;
·merge or consolidate with another company; or
·transfer or sell assets outside the ordinary course of business.

 

In addition, our line of credit requires that we maintain compliance with certain financial ratios and levels, such as a minimum tangible net worth and a minimum current ratio. It is possible that these covenants may adversely impact our ability to finance our future operations or capital needs to pursue available business opportunities. Additionally, a failure to comply with any of these covenants could lead to a default under our line of credit which could result in an acceleration of indebtedness and prevent us from having access to the line of credit for future borrowings to fund our cash and working capital needs.

 

We are dependent on government contracts for the majority of our revenue, and a reduction or delay in spending by government agencies could adversely affect our business and operating results.

 

Contracts with agencies of the United States government and various state and local governments represented approximately 97% of our revenue in fiscal year 2013, with only 3% of our revenue coming from commercial sources. Therefore, the majority of our revenue and the success of our business are materially dependent on contracts with governmental agencies. Companies engaged in government contracting are subject to certain unique business risks not shared by the general commercial sector. Among these risks are:

 

6
 

  

·a competitive procurement process with no firm schedule or guarantee of contracts being awarded;
·competitive pricing pressure that may require reductions in costs in order to realize revenue under contracts;
·award of work to competitors and not to us due to policy reasons;
·dependence on congressional and state appropriations and administrative allotment of funds;
·policies and regulations that can be changed at any time by governing bodies;
·competing political priorities and changes in the political climate regarding funding and operations of the services;
·shifts in buying practices and policy changes regarding the use of private contractors;
·changes in and delays or cancellations of government programs or requirements;
·government contracts that are usually awarded for relatively short periods of time and are subject to renewal options in favor of the government; and
·many contracts with U.S. government agencies require annual funding and may be terminated at the agency’s discretion.

 

The U.S. government contracting laws provide that the U.S. government is to do business only with responsible contractors. Accordingly, U.S. government agencies have the authority under certain circumstances to suspend or debar a contractor from bidding on government contracts.

 

A reduction or shift in spending priorities by U.S. government agencies could limit or eliminate the continued funding of our existing government contracts or awards of new contracts or new task orders under existing contracts. These reductions or shifts in spending, if significant, could have a material adverse effect on our business.

 

Continued inability of the legislative and executive branches of the federal government to agree on a budget for key agencies or to enact appropriations in a timely manner could delay and has delayed in past years the award of contracts. These delays, if significant, could have a material adverse effect on our operating results.

 

We place greater reliance on financial and operational integrity of Small Business firms due to greater Small Business contract award requirements on government agencies and greater emphasis on Small Business subcontracting plans upon award to Versar.

 

Our government contracts are subject to audit and potential reduction of costs and fees.

 

Contracts with the U.S. government and many other state and local governmental agencies are subject to audit by governmental agencies, which could result in the disallowance of certain costs and expenses. These audits can result in the disallowance of significant costs and expenses if the auditing agency determines, in its discretion, that certain costs and expenses were not warranted, allowable, or were excessive. Disallowance of costs and expenses, if pervasive or significant, could have a material adverse effect on our business.

 

As a government contractor, we are subject to a number of procurement laws and regulations; a violation of any such law or regulation could result in sanctions, contract termination, forfeiture of profit, harm to our reputation or loss of our status as an eligible government contractor.

 

We must comply with and are affected by federal, state and local laws and regulations regarding the formation, administration and performance of government contracts. These laws and regulations affect how we transact business with our government clients and, in some instances, impose additional costs on our business operations. Even though we take precautions to prevent and deter fraud, misconduct and non-compliance, we face the risk that our personnel or outside partners may engage in misconduct, fraud or improper activities. Government contract violations could result in the imposition of civil and criminal penalties or sanctions, contract termination, forfeiture of profit and/or suspension of payment, any of which could make us lose our status as an eligible government contractor and could cause our reputation to suffer serious harm. Loss of our status as an eligible government contractor would have a material adverse effect on our operations and financial condition.

 

7
 

 

Actual or perceived conflicts of interest may prevent us from being able to bid on or perform contracts.

 

U.S. government agencies have conflict of interest policies that may prevent us from bidding on or performing certain contracts. When dealing with U.S. government agencies that have conflict of interest policies, we must decide, at times with insufficient information, whether to participate in the procurement process in light of the fact that such performance could preclude us from participating in a related procurement. We have, on occasion, declined to bid on particular projects because of actual or perceived conflicts of interest. We are likely to continue encountering such conflicts of interest in the future. Future conflicts of interest could cause us to be unable to secure key contracts with U.S. government customers.

 

Robust enforcement of environmental regulations is important to our financial success.

 

Our business is materially dependent on the continued enforcement by local, state and federal governments of various environmental regulations. From time to time, depending on political pressures, local, state and federal agencies relax environmental clean-up standards to promote economic growth and to discourage industrial businesses from relocating. Any relaxation in environmental and compliance standards could impact our ability to secure additional contracting work with such agencies or with other federal agencies that operate or manage contaminated property. Further, in a period of relaxed environmental standards, private industry may be less willing to allocate funds to consulting services designed to prevent or remediate environmental problems.

 

Many of our U.S. government customers procure goods and services through indefinite delivery / indefinite quantity (“ID/IQ”), government wide acquisition contract (“GWAC”) or GSA Schedule contracts under which we must compete for post-award orders.

 

Budgetary pressures and reforms in the procurement process have caused many U.S. government customers to purchase goods and services through ID/IQ, GSA Schedule contracts and other multiple award and/or GWAC contract vehicles. These contract vehicles increase competition and pricing pressure requiring us to make sustained post-award efforts to obtain awards and realize revenue. There can be no assurance that we will increase revenue or otherwise sell successfully under these contract vehicles. Our failure to compete effectively in this procurement environment could harm our business, financial condition, operating results, cash flows and our ability to meet our financial obligations.

 

If we fail to recover at-risk contract costs, we may have reduced fees or losses.

 

We are at risk for any costs we incur before a contract is executed, modified or renewed. A customer may choose not to pay us for these costs. While such costs are typically associated with specific anticipated contracts and funding modifications, we cannot be certain that our customers will execute these contracts or contract renewals or that they we pay us for all our related at-risk costs. If unrecovered at-risk costs are significant, we may experience a decline in contract margins or experience losses on certain contracts or in certain periods, resulting in reduced profitability.

 

We could face potential liability for failure to properly design remediation.

 

A part of our business involves the design and implementation of remediation at environmental clean-up sites. If we fail to properly design and build a remediation system or if someone claims that we did, we could face expensive litigation and settlement costs. If we failed to successfully defend against such a lawsuit, it could materially adversely affect our business.

 

Environmental laws and regulations and our use of hazardous materials may subject us to significant liabilities.

 

Our operations are subject to U.S. federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations, as well as environmental laws and regulations in the various countries in which we operate. We are also subject to environmental laws and regulations relating to the discharge, storage, treatment, handling, disposal and remediation of regulated substances and waste products, such as radioactive, biochemical or other hazardous materials and explosives. We may incur substantial costs in the future because of: modifications to current laws and regulations; new laws and regulations; new guidance or new interpretation of existing laws or regulations; violations of environmental laws or required operating permits; or discovery of previously unknown contamination.

 

8
 

 

Our failure to properly manage projects may result in additional costs or claims.

 

Our engagements often involve complex projects. The quality of our performance on such projects depends in large part upon our ability to manage the relationship with our clients, and to effectively manage the projects and deploy appropriate resources in a timely manner. If we miscalculate the resources or time we need to complete a project with capped or fixed fees our operating results could be adversely affected. Further, any defects or errors, or failures to meet our client’s expectations, could result in claims for damages against us.

 

Our services expose us to significant risks of liability and it may be difficult to obtain or maintain adequate insurance coverage.

 

Our services involve significant risks of professional and other liabilities that may exceed the fees we derive from performance. Our business activities could expose us to potential liability under various laws and regulations and under workplace health and safety regulations. In addition, we sometimes may assume liability by contract under indemnification agreements. We are not able to predict the magnitude of any such liabilities.

 

We obtain insurance from third parties to cover our potential risks and liabilities. It is possible that we may not be able to obtain adequate insurance to meet our needs, may have to pay an excessive amount for the insurance coverage we want, or may not be able to acquire any insurance for certain types of business risks.

 

We are exposed to risks associated with operating internationally.

 

A large portion of our business is conducted internationally. Consequently, we are subject to a variety of risks that are specific to international operations, including the following:

 

·export regulations that could erode profit margins or restrict exports;
·compliance with the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act;
·compliance with the U.K Bribery Act;
·the burden and cost of compliance with foreign laws, treaties and technical standards and changes in those regulations;
·contract award and funding delays;
·potential restrictions on transfers of funds;
·foreign currency fluctuations;
·import and export duties and value added taxes;
·transportation delays and interruptions;
·uncertainties arising from foreign local business practices and cultural considerations; and
·potential military conflicts, civil strife and political risks.

 

  While we have and will continue to adopt measures to reduce the potential impact of losses resulting from the risks of our foreign business, we cannot ensure that such measures will be adequate.

Political destabilization or insurgency in the regions in which we operate may have a material adverse effect on our operating performance.

 

Certain regions in which we operate are highly unstable. Insurgent activities in the areas in which we operate may cause further destabilization in these regions. There can be no assurance that the regions in which we operate will continue to be stable enough to allow us to operate profitably or at all. During fiscal years 2013, 2012, and 2011, revenue generated from our operations in international locations, which included our reconstruction work in Iraq and Afghanistan, contributed 39%, 36%, and 40% of our revenue, respectively. We have been required to increase compensation to our personnel as an incentive to deploy them to these regions. To date, we have been able to recover this added cost under our contracts, but we may not be able to recover from future increases, if required, from our customers through our contracts. To the extent that we are unable to transfer such increased compensation costs to our customers, our operating margins would be adversely impacted, which could adversely affect our operating performance. In addition, increased insurgent activities or destabilization, including civil unrest or a civil war in Iraq or Afghanistan, may lead to a determination by the U.S. government to halt our operations in a particular location, country or region and to perform the services using military personnel.

 

Shifts in governmental priorities could potentially impact our contracts in certain regions.

 

In extreme circumstances, the U.S. government may decide to terminate all U.S. government activities, including our operations under U.S. government contracts in a particular location, country or region and to withdraw all military personnel. Any of the foregoing could severely affect our operating performance and may result in additional costs and expenses and loss of revenue.

 

If our partners fail to perform their contractual obligations on a project, we could be exposed to legal liability, loss of reputation or reduced profits.

 

From time to time, we enter joint venture agreements and other contractual arrangements with partners to jointly bid on and execute a particular project. The success of these joint projects depends in part on the satisfactory performance of the contractual obligations by our partners. If any of our partners fail to satisfactorily perform their contractual obligations, we may be required to make additional investments and provide additional services to complete projects, increasing our cost on those projects. If we are unable to adequately address a partner’s performance issues, then our client could terminate the joint project, exposing us to legal liability, loss of reputation or reduced profits.

 

We operate in highly competitive industries.

 

The markets for many of our services are highly competitive. There are numerous professional architectural, engineering, construction management, and environmental consulting firms, and other organizations that offer many of the same services offered by us. We compete with many companies that have greater resources than us and we cannot provide assurance that such competitors will not substantially increase the resources devoted to their business in a manner competitive with the services provided by us. Competitive factors include reputation, performance, price, geographic location and availability of technically skilled personnel. In addition, we face competition from the use by our clients of in-house environmental, engineering and other staff.

 

Future acquisition candidates may be unsuccessful. Acquisitions that are consummated may require us to incur costs and liabilities or have other unexpected consequences which may adversely affect our operating results and financial condition.

  

In addition to internal or organic growth, our current growth strategy involves growth through acquisitions of complementary businesses as well as growth from acquisitions that would diversify our current service offerings. Like other companies with similar growth strategies, we may be unable to successfully implement our growth strategy as we may not be able to identify suitable acquisition candidates in the future, obtain acceptable financing, or consummate any future acquisitions. We frequently engage in evaluations of potential acquisitions and negotiations for possible acquisitions, certain of which, if consummated, could be significant to us. Although it is our general objective only to acquire companies in transactions which will be accretive to both earnings and cash flow, any potential acquisitions may result in material transaction expenses, increased interest and amortization expense, increased depreciation expense and increased operating expense, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our operating results. Acquisitions may entail integration and management of the acquired businesses to realize economies of scale and control costs. In addition, acquisitions may involve other risks, including diversion of management resources otherwise available for ongoing development of our business and risks associated with entering new markets. Future acquisitions may also result in potentially dilutive issuances of securities. As a result of the consummation of acquisitions of other businesses, we may be subject to the risk of unanticipated business uncertainties or legal liabilities relating to those acquired businesses for which the sellers of the acquired businesses may not indemnify us. We may not realize the full anticipated benefit of any acquired business that has operated as a small business (as determined by the Small Business Administration based upon the North American Industry Classification Systems) if following their acquisition by us certain of their contracts are revoked or not renewed because they fail to continue to maintain small business status.

An economic downturn may have a material adverse effect on our business.

 

In an economic recession, or under other adverse economic conditions that may arise from natural or man-made events, customers and vendors may be less likely to meet contractual terms and payment or delivery obligations. In particular, if the U.S. government changes its operational priorities in Iraq and/or Afghanistan, reduces the DOD Operations and Maintenance budget or reduces funding for Department of State initiatives in which we participate, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be severely affected.

 

Our quarterly and annual revenue, expenses and operating results may fluctuate significantly, which could have a negative effect on the price of our common stock.

 

Our quarterly and annual revenues, expenses and operating results have and may continue to fluctuate significantly because of a number of factors, including:

 

·the seasonality of the spending cycle of our public sector clients, notably the U.S. government, and the spending patterns of our private sector clients;
·the hiring and utilization rates of employees in the United States and internationally;
·the number and significance of client engagements commenced and completed during the period;
·the delays incurred in connection with an engagement because of weather or other factors;
·the ability to work within foreign countries’ regulations, tax requirements and obligations;
·the business, financial, and security risks related to working in foreign countries;
·the ability of clients to terminate engagements without penalties;
·the creditworthiness and solvency of clients;
·the size and scope of engagements;
·the delay in federal, state and local government procurements;
·the ability to perform contracts within budget or contractual limitations;
·the timing of expenses incurred for corporate initiatives;
·any threatened or pending litigation matters;
·periodic reductions in the prices of services offered by our competitors;
·the likelihood of winning the re-bids of our existing large government contracts;
·the general economic and political conditions;
·the loss of a major contract or the shutdown of a major program;
·the volatility of currencies in foreign countries; and
·the integration of any acquisition or the ability of an acquired business to continue to perform as in the past.

 

Variations in any of these factors could cause significant fluctuations in our operating results from quarter to quarter and could result in net losses and have a material adverse effect on our stock price.

 

We are highly dependent on key personnel and our business could suffer if we fail to continue to attract, train and retain skilled employees.

 

Our business is managed by a number of key management and operating and professional personnel. The loss of key personnel could have a material adverse effect on the Company.

 

Availability of highly trained and skilled professional, administrative and technical personnel is critical to our future growth and profitability. Even in the current economic climate, competition in our industry for scientists, engineers, technicians, management and professional personnel is intense and competitors aggressively recruit key employees. Competition for experienced personnel, particularly in highly specialized areas, has made it more difficult for us to timely meet all our staffing needs. We cannot be certain we will be able to continue to attract and retain required staff. Any failure to do so could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, operating results and our ability to meet our financial obligations. Failure to recruit and retain a sufficient number of these employees could adversely affect our ability to maintain or grow our business. Some of our contracts require us to staff a program with personnel the customer considers key to successful performance. If we cannot provide these key personnel or acceptable substitutes, the customer may terminate the contract, and we may not be able to recover our costs.

 

11
 

 

In order to succeed, we will have to keep up with a variety of rapidly changing technologies. Various factors could affect our ability to keep pace with these changes.

 

Our success will depend on our ability to keep pace with changing technologies which can occur rapidly in our core business segments. Even if we keep up with the latest developments and available technology, newer services or technologies could negatively affect our business.

 

Our employees may engage in misconduct or other improper activities, which could harm our business.

 

We are exposed to the risk of employee fraud or other misconduct. Employee misconduct could include intentional failures to comply with U.S. government procurement regulations, unauthorized activities, attempts to obtain reimbursement for improper expenses, or submission of falsified time records. Employee misconduct could also involve improper use of our customers’ sensitive or classified information, which could result in regulatory sanctions against us. Negative press reports regarding employee misconduct could harm our reputation with the government agencies with which we work. If our reputation with these agencies is negatively affected, or if we are suspended or debarred from contracting with government agencies for any reason, our future revenues and growth prospects would be adversely affected. It is not always possible to deter employee misconduct, and the precautions we take to prevent and detect this activity may not be effective in controlling unknown or unmanaged risks or losses, which could harm our business, financial condition, operating results and our ability to meet our financial obligations.

 

Internal system or service failures could disrupt our business and impair our ability to effectively provide our services and products to our customers, which could damage our reputation and adversely affect our revenue, profitability and operating results.

 

Our information technology systems are subject to systems failures, including network, software or hardware failures, whether caused by us, third-party service providers, intruders or hackers, computer viruses, natural disasters, power shortages or terrorist attacks. Any such failures could cause loss of data and interruptions or delays in our business, cause us to incur remediation costs, subject us to claims and damage our reputation. Failure or disruption of our communications or utilities could cause us to interrupt or suspend our operations or otherwise adversely affect our business. Any system or service disruptions if not anticipated and appropriately mitigated could have a material adverse effect on our business including, among other things, an adverse effect on our ability to bill our customers for work performed on our contracts, collect the amounts that have been billed and produce accurate financial statements in a timely manner. Our property and business interruption insurance may be inadequate to compensate us for all losses that may occur as a result of any system or operational failure or disruption and, as a result, our results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

Financial Trends

 

Fiscal Year 2013 proved to be a challenging year for Versar, with decreased revenue and net income, compared to 2012, although our balance sheet remains strong and is a reflection of our ability to continue to improve liquidity and working capital. Ongoing macro-economic issues, such as sequestration and ongoing federal budget issues resulted in slower and fewer contract awards across the federal government.

 

For the near-term, it appears that the United States government continues to face substantial fiscal and economic challenges that affect funding for its non-discretionary and discretionary budgets. We believe these conditions will continue based on a variety of factors, including the continued effects of high unemployment, the continuing weak European financial markets, and the existence of debt reduction pressures which will continue to put pressure on a full economic recovery.

 

In this challenging economic environment, we focus on those opportunities where funding is non-discretionary for our customers such as Sustainable Range Management, Unexploded Ordnance, Performance Based Remediation, and construction contract management. We will also continue to focus on areas that we believe offer attractive enough returns to our clients that they will continue to fund efforts, such as construction type services both in the United States and internationally, improvements in energy efficiency, and facility upgrades. We have invested heavily in business development activities designed to specifically tailor responses to a customer’s value solution and sustainability needs. We have invested in new internal technologies to streamline productivity and have realized benefits from continued cost reduction efforts concentrated on our fixed and controllable expenses.

 

We have decided to discontinue the operations of our Lab, Telecom, and Products components as they are no longer aligned with our business strategy and have ended revenue generating business operations.

 

We believe that Versar’s business segments have the expertise to identify and respond to the challenges raised by the global economic issues we face and are positioned in the coming year to address these concerns. Our business operates through the following three business segments: ECM, ESG, and PSG.

 

These segments are segregated based on the nature of the work, business processes, customer bases and the business environment in which each of the segments operates.

 

There are risk factors or uncertainties that could significantly impact our future financial performance. A sample of these risks is listed below. For a complete discussion of these risk factors and uncertainties refer to Item 1A. Risk Factors, herein.

 

We operate in highly competitive industries;
A reduction or delay in pending awards by government agencies could adversely affect us;
Our inability to win or renew government contacts could adversely affect us;
We are exposed to risks associated with operating internationally;
Our failure to properly manage projects may result in additional costs or claims;
An economic downturn may adversely affect our business;
In order to succeed we need to keep up with a variety of rapidly changing technologies;
We are highly dependent on key personnel;
Future acquisitions may not go as expected and may have unexpected costs and consequences;
The government may adopt new contract laws or regulations at any time.

Fiscal Year 2013 Compared to Fiscal Year 2012

 

Gross revenue for fiscal year 2013 was $102.6 million, a decrease of 11% compared to $115.0 million during the 2012 fiscal year. This decrease was primarily a result of a decrease in ECM segment domestic revenue of approximately $15.4 million related to the completion in fiscal year 2012 of the Tooele Chemical Demilitarization project and decreased revenue in fiscal year of 2013 from domestic construction. Decreases in revenue were partially offset by increased ESG segment revenue attributable to PBRs and UXO projects, while the PSG segment revenue remained flat.

 

Purchased services and materials for fiscal year 2013 was $44.0 million, a decrease of 14% compared to $51.5 million during the 2012 fiscal year. This decrease was largely due to decreases in the ECM segment as a result of the completion of the Tooele project and reduced domestic construction.

 

Direct costs of services and overhead for fiscal year 2013 were $44.9 million, a decrease of 5% compared to $47.0 million during the 2012 fiscal year. The decrease was attributable to reduced activity related to the close out of the Tooele Chemical Demilitarization project, partially offset by increased work in our ECM business segment from the Title II Construction Management Services projects and electrical inspection projects.

 

Gross profit for fiscal year 2013 was $13.7 million, a decrease of 17% compared to $16.5 million during the 2012 fiscal year. The gross profit percentage declined slightly by 1% to 13% from 14% in fiscal year 2012.

 

21
 

 

Selling, general and administrative expenses for fiscal year 2013 were $7.6 million a decrease of 6% compared to $8.1 million during the 2012 fiscal year. This decrease was primarily attributable to a reduction in rent expense as we reduced the size of our leased space at the Springfield, VA location. In addition, cost reductions continue as we focused on controlling indirect labor and travel as the Company maintains its focus on cost saving initiatives.

 

Other operating income for fiscal year 2013 was $0.2 million, compared to other operating expense of $0.2 million during the 2012 fiscal year. During 2013 this line item includes $0.2 of income related to the change in the Charron contingent earn out consideration and during 2012 included costs associated with acquisitions.

 

Operating income for fiscal year 2013 was $6.3 million, a decrease of 23% compared to $8.2 million during the 2012 fiscal year. Declines in gross profit were partially offset by a corresponding reduction is general and administrative expenses.

 

The 2012 “write-off of uncollectible financing receivable” line item above is comprised of the write-off of approximately $0.7 million that resulted from the determination during fiscal year 2012 that a financing receivable was uncollectible.

 

Income tax expense for fiscal year 2013 was $2.1 million as compared to income tax expense of $2.9 million during the 2012 fiscal year. The effective tax rate was approximately 33% and 39% for 2013 and 2012, respectively. We were able to achieve this rate reduction by performing an analysis illustrating the Company was eligible for research and development tax credits based on work performed on certain projects.

 

Net income from continuing operations for fiscal year 2013 was $4.1 million, a decrease of 8% compared to net income from continuing operations of $4.5 million during the 2012 fiscal year. Net income per share, basic and diluted for continuing operations was $0.43 compared to net income per share for continuing operations, basic and diluted, of $0.48 for fiscal year 2012. Net loss per share, basic and diluted, for discontinued operations for fiscal year 2013 was $0.18 compared to net loss per share for discontinued operations, basic and diluted, of $0.03 during the 2012 fiscal year. The decrease in net income and net income per share primarily resulted from our decrease in gross profit, in addition to a significant write-off of an uncollected receivable account of approximately $0.4 million.

 

Fiscal Year 2012 Compared to Fiscal Year 2011

 

Gross revenue for fiscal year 2012 was $115.0 million, a decrease of 11% compared to $128.5 million during the 2011 fiscal year. The 2012 fiscal year decrease partially resulted from nonrecurring equipment purchase revenue recorded during the 2011 fiscal year of approximately $8.4 million attributable to the Tooele Chemical Demilitarization project in our ECM business segment. Additionally, the decrease resulted from the fact that fewer projects were awarded to our ESG business segment during fiscal year 2012. In the second half of fiscal year 2012 the ESG business segment submitted a large number of business proposals in an attempt to bolster their pipeline and increase the number or projects awarded. The decrease in revenue was partially offset by an increase in revenue during the 2012 fiscal year within our ECM business segment resulting from additional awards of Title II Construction Management Services projects and electrical inspection projects.

 

Purchased services and materials for fiscal year 2012 was $51.5 million, a decrease of 22% compared to $65.7 million during the 2011 fiscal year. The decrease largely resulted from the nonrecurring equipment purchase and subcontractor costs for the Tooele Chemical Demilitarization project that occurred in the 2011 fiscal year and also from a decrease in projects awarded to our ESG business segment.

 

Direct costs of services and overhead for fiscal year 2012 were $47.0 million, a decrease of 1% compared to $47.5 million during the 2011 fiscal year. The decrease was attributable to reduced activity related to the anticipated close out of the Tooele Chemical Demilitarization project, partially offset by increased work in our ECM business segment from the Title II Construction Management Services projects and electrical inspection projects.

 

Gross profit for fiscal year 2012 was $16.5 million, an increase of 8% compared to $15.3 million during the 2011 fiscal year. This increase results from the improved performance in the ECM business segment during 2012, partially offset by a decline in gross profit in the ESG business segment.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for fiscal year 2012 were $8.1 million, relatively flat when compared with the 2011 fiscal year. The 2012 fiscal year included expenditures to enhance our information technology backbone and to create a more efficient work environment by moving significant amounts of our document management and technology collaboration on-line. Fiscal year 2011 included approximately $0.2 million of severance costs related to the departure of our former Chief Financial Officer.

 

Other operating expenses for fiscal year 2012 were $0.2 million, a decrease of approximately 50% when compared to the 2011 fiscal year. This line item includes costs associated with acquisitions.

 

Operating income for fiscal year 2012 was $8.2 million, an increase of 19% compared to $6.9 million during the 2011 fiscal year. The increase in operating income primarily resulted from an increase in gross profit during fiscal year 2012.

 

The “write-off of uncollectible financing receivable” line item above is comprised the write-off of approximately $0.7 million that resulted from the determination during fiscal year 2012 that a financing receivable was uncollectible.

 

Income tax expense for fiscal year 2012 was $2.9 million as compared to income tax expense of $2.8 million during the 2011 fiscal year. The effective tax rate of 41.5% was higher in fiscal year 2011 compared to a rate of 39.2% in fiscal year 2012, due to discrete tax items and book versus tax expense variances.

 

Net income for fiscal year 2012 was $4.5 million, an increase of 9% compared to net income of $4.1 million during the 2011 fiscal year. Net income per share, basic and diluted, for continuing operations for fiscal year 2012 was $0.48 compared to net income per share, basic and diluted, for continuing operations of $0.44 during the 2011 fiscal year. The increase in net income and net income per share primarily resulted from an increase in gross profit, partially offset by the write-off of the uncollectible financing receivable.

 

Results of Operations by Business Segment

 

During fiscal year 2012 management realigned the Company’s organizational structure resulting in its operations being reorganized into the following three business segments: (1) ECM, (2) ESG, and (3) PSG. During fiscal year 2013, management revised its method of allocating overhead to the segments in order to refine the information used by our Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”). The presentation of 2012 and 2011 has been reclassified to conform to the 2013 presentation. The new methodology allocates certain overhead costs proportionally on the basis of direct labor, while the old methodology allocated such overhead costs on a non-proportional basis.

 

The tables below set forth the operating results for these three business segments for the fiscal years ended June 28, 2013, June 29, 2012, and July 1, 2011, not including discontinued operations.

Fiscal Year 2013 Compared to Fiscal Year 2012

 

Gross revenue for fiscal year 2013 was $49.3 million, a decrease of $19.9 million or 29% compared to $69.2 million for fiscal year 2012. This decrease was primarily a result of reductions in government spending for international reconstruction operations both in Iraq for electrical inspection services and in Afghanistan for Air Force Civil Engineer Center (AFCEC) Title II Construction Management Services. This slowdown was coupled with reduced domestic revenue of approximately $15.4 million related to the completion of the Tooele Chemical Demilitarization project during fiscal year 2012 and reduced revenue from domestic construction of approximately $5.5 million. Management is focusing domestic construction operations to specific locations and projects, and as a result of being more selective, we have seen reduced revenue from these operations; International management is currently focused on leveraging the success in the Middle East by increasing business development efforts with other U.S. government and non-governmental agencies in order to offset reduced DOD business and minimize the resulting reduction of revenues. In May 2013, the Company’s joint venture with Parsons was awarded a new prime contract from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Middle East District (MED) to provide Construction Phase Support Services (CPSS) throughout multiple countries within the Central Command Area of Responsibility. The Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract is a single award with a maximum five-year period of performance consisting of a base year and four option years with a maximum contract capacity is $90 million. Additionally, in October of fiscal year 2013 we were awarded a new prime contract with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Middle East District, to provide Afghanistan National subject matter experts to perform on-site construction management support services for assigned projects supporting two USACE Engineer Districts in Afghanistan. The Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract is a single award with a maximum four and a halfyear period of performance consisting of a base year and three options years. The maximum contract capacity over the entire length of the contract is $170 million. This contract is for Personal Services in exclusive support of the USACE construction mission in Afghanistan.

 

Gross profit for fiscal year 2013 was $11.5 million, a decrease of $5.3 million or 32% compared to $16.8 million for fiscal year 2012. This decrease was directly related the completion of the Tooele Chemical Demilitarization Project during fiscal year 2012 and the completion of the Iraq electrical inspection program. Management has decided that the Company’s Lab, Telecom, and Product components are no longer aligned with the Company's business strategy. As such, management has elected to discontinue the Company’s operations in these three components of the ECM segment and has ended revenue generating business operations. Combined, these three components contributed an approximate $1.9 million additional decrease in gross profit.

 

Fiscal Year 2012 Compared to Fiscal Year 2011

 

Gross revenue for fiscal year 2012 was $69.2 million, a decrease of 5% compared to $72.5 million during the corresponding period of the 2011 fiscal year. This decrease was largely from nonrecurring equipment purchase revenue earned in the last fiscal year of approximately $8.4 million attributable to the Tooele Chemical Demilitarization project. Additionally, we had fewer construction projects awarded to our U.S. based construction group during fiscal year 2012 and experienced decreased government spending for electrical inspection services. This decrease in gross revenue, however, was partially offset by increased government spending earlier in the fiscal year 2012 for Title II services.

 

As discussed above, we have changed the method of allocating overhead to the reportable segments and have recast previous year information to conform to the new methodology. Under our revised methodology, gross profit for this segment increased $7.8 million, or 86%, to $16.8 million in FY12, compared to $9.0 million in FY11. Although the dollar values changed under the revised methodology, the direction of the fluctuation and the corresponding explanation have remained consistent. This increase resulted from our effective project management and tight control over all costs related to the Title II Construction Management Services projects and our electrical inspection projects. Additionally, our U.S. based construction group continued to reduce costs relative to the decrease in gross revenue in this portion of the business, thus contributing to the improved gross margin in fiscal year 2012.

Fiscal Year 2013 Compared to Fiscal Year 2012

 

Gross revenue for fiscal year 2013 was $38.9 million, an increase of $8.0 million or 26% compared to $30.9 million for fiscal year 2012. This increase is primarily attributable to a $9.5 million increase in work being performed on PBRs for the U.S. Air Force reflecting both the transition from planning phases to site-work phases, and the startup of PBR activities at additional bases. We continue to see revenue increases associated with our UXO projects at Nellis AFB and Fort Irwin, CA.  We have also experienced an increase in municipal storm water contract awards reflecting growth in our natural resource services.

 

Gross profit for fiscal year 2013 was $1.2 million, an increase of $2.9 million or 166% compared to a loss of $1.8 million for fiscal year 2012. Gross profit margin improvement compared to fiscal year 2012 primarily reflects the $0.3 million project profit attributable to the UXO project at Fort Irwin, CA. The segment continues to see an increase in profitability as a result of an increase in direct labor it provides on the PBRs and UXO projects.

 

Fiscal Year 2012 Compared to Fiscal Year 2011

 

Gross revenue for fiscal year 2012 was $30.9 million, a decrease of 26% compared to $42.0 million during the 2011 fiscal year. This decrease was primarily the result of the award to us of fewer contracts during this period. In addition, operations from a project acquired with the ADVENT acquisition began wind-down during fiscal year 2011 and we did not see that revenue return in fiscal year 2012.

 

As discussed above, we have changed the method of allocating overhead to the reportable segments and have recast previous year information to conform to the new methodology. Under our revised methodology, this segment realized losses of $1.8 million during FY12, compared to gross profit of $4.9 million in FY11. Although the dollar values changed under the revised methodology, the directions of the fluctuation and the corresponding explanation have remained consistent. The decrease was primarily a result of increased overhead costs incurred during fiscal year 2012 related to our increased efforts to identify business opportunities and an expanded proposal process to gain additional contracts. Additionally, the decrease in revenue during the 2012 fiscal year contributed to the decrease in gross profit. These decreases were partially offset by the positive contribution from our operations in Ft. Irwin, CA.

Fiscal Year 2013 Compared to Fiscal Year 2012

 

Gross revenue for fiscal year 2013 was $14.4 million, a decrease of $0.5 million or 3% compared to $14.9 million for fiscal year 2012. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease in project awards resulting from Versar’s loss of small business entity status. We have seen an increase in solicitations aimed at small businesses; however we continue to look for new ways to increase our sub/prime contractor relationships with small firms to bring more value to the customer. In addition, contract capacity was reached on one of our U.S Army Corp of Engineers contracts; however we have been positioned for the re-competition on that contract for more than a year and anticipate that it will be released soon.

 

Gross profit for fiscal year 2013 was $1.0 million, a decrease of $0.4 million or 27% compared to $1.4 million for fiscal year 2012. This decrease was primarily driven by a significant write-off of an uncollected receivables accounts of approximately $0.4 million; however it was partially off-set due to an increase in overhead expenses for staff salaries (and corresponding increase in revenue) to compensate for certain stop work orders, and other contract award delays. Additionally, due to delays in certain contract awards a greater portion of direct labor was absorbed as indirect expense.

 

Fiscal Year 2012 Compared to Fiscal Year 2011

 

Gross revenue for fiscal year 2012 was $14.9 million, an increase of 7% compared to $13.9 million during the 2011 fiscal year.  This increase was primarily the result of the addition of staff to certain Joint Bases to manage increased responsibilities. The DOD at these locations is charged with managing extensive resources across military services and has turned to Versar for assistance because of our strong reputation for on-site employee care and customer responsiveness.

 

As discussed above, we have changed the method of allocating overhead to the reportable segments and have recast previous year information to conform to the revised methodology. Under our revised methodology, gross profit for this segment increased $0.1 million, or 6%, to $1.4 million in FY12, compared to $1.3 million in FY11. Although the dollar values changed under the revised methodology, the direction of the fluctuation and the corresponding explanation have remained consistent. During fiscal year 2012 there was an increase in the volume of work without an equivalent increase in off-site staffing levels during the current period. The U.S. Army budget cuts precipitated higher operational expectations with lower margins. Further, offsetting any resulting gross margin improvement was our investment in market diversification efforts and in the training and development of existing staff on new management systems during the 2012 period.

 

Gross Revenue by Client Base

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Our working capital as of June 28, 2013 was approximately $27.0 million, an increase of $4.7 million compared to the prior fiscal year. In addition, our current ratio at June 28, 2013 was 2.54 compared to 2.32 from the prior fiscal year.

 

As discussed in Note M – Debt and Note T – Subsequent Event, of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this report on Form 10-K, we have a line of credit facility with United Bank. On September 14, 2012 the line of credit facility was modified to extend its maturity date to September 25, 2014 and to make certain other changes to the terms and conditions governing the line of credit. We did not draw on the line of credit during fiscal year 2013. During fiscal year 2012, we had total borrowings and repayments of $13.6 million. Accordingly, we had no outstanding borrowings under the line of credit at June 28, 2013 or June 29, 2012.

 

We financed a portion of our fiscal year 2012 acquisition of Charron through seller notes totaling $1.0 million. At June 28, 2013 the outstanding aggregate principal balance of the notes was $.7 million. Additionally, in fiscal year 2011 we financed a portion of the acquisitions of PPS and ADVENT through seller notes totaling approximately $2.7 million. At June 28, 2013 no amounts were outstanding under the PPS and ADVENT notes. We believe that in light of our cash balance of $8.7 million at the end of fiscal year 2013, along with anticipated cash flows from operations and availability under our extended line of credit, our working capital will be sufficient to meet our liquidity needs within the next fiscal year. Expected capital requirements for fiscal year 2014 are approximately $0.8 to $1.0 million, to be used primarily for annual hardware and software purchases to maintain our existing information technology systems, equipment related to our Military Munitions Response Programs, and upgrades to our personal protective equipment manufacturing.  These capital requirements will be funded through existing working capital.

 

Our current growth strategy involves growth through acquisitions of complementary businesses as well as businesses that would diversify our current service offerings. In order to fund future acquisitions, we may need to supplement our existing working capital and borrowing capacity under our line of credit with additional financing in the form of debt or equity. There can be no assurance that additional funding will be available in a timely manner on terms acceptable to us or at all when acquisition opportunities arise.

 

On September 3, 2013, we announced our acquisition of Geo-Marine, Inc., a business with more than $20 million in annual revenues. The purchase price was paid with a combination of cash and seller notes. Geo-Marine, headquartered in Plano, Texas, provides engineering design, construction management, environmental planning and programming, and other services in support of a wide range of government, industry, and commercial clients. Key long-term clients that transition with the acquisition include the U.S. Navy, the U.S. Air Force and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.

 

Contractual Obligations

 

At June 28, 2013, we had total contractual obligations of approximately $14.2 million, including short-term obligations of approximately $2.5 million. The short-term obligations will become due over the next twelve months (fiscal year 2013). Our contractual obligations are primarily related to lease commitments. Additionally, we have principal and interest obligations related to the notes payable from our acquisition of Charron. The table below specifies the total contractual payment obligations as of June 28, 2013.

Critical Accounting Policies and Related Estimates That Could Have a Material Effect on Our Consolidated Financial Statements

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

Below is a discussion of the accounting policies and related estimates that we believe are the most critical to understanding our consolidated financial position and results of operations which require management judgments and estimates, or involve uncertainties. Information regarding our other accounting policies is included in the notes to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report on Form 10-K.

 

Revenue recognition: On cost-plus fee contracts, revenue is recognized to the extent of costs incurred plus a proportionate amount of fee earned, and on time-and-material contracts, revenue is recognized to the extent of billable rates times hours delivered plus material and other reimbursable costs incurred. We record income from fixed-price contracts, extending over more than one accounting period, using the percentage-of-completion method. During the performance of such contracts, estimated final contract prices and costs are periodically reviewed and revisions are made as required. Fixed price contracts can be significantly impacted by changes in contract performance, contract delays, liquidated damages and penalty provisions, and contract change orders, which may affect the revenue recognition on a project. Revisions to such estimates are made when they become known. Detailed quarterly project reviews are conducted with project managers to review all project progress accruals and revenue recognition.

 

There is the possibility that there will be future and currently unforeseeable adjustments to our estimated contract revenues, costs and margins for fixed price contracts, particularly in the later stages of these contracts. Such adjustments are common in the construction industry given the nature of the contracts. These adjustments could either positively or negatively impact our estimates due to the circumstances surrounding the negotiations of change orders, the impact of schedule slippage, subcontractor claims and contract disputes which are normally resolved at the end of the contract.

 

Allowance for doubtful accounts: Disputes arise in the normal course of our business on projects where we are contesting with customers for collection of funds because of events such as delays, changes in contract specifications and questions of cost allowability and collectability. Such disputes, whether claims or unapproved change orders in process of negotiation, are recorded at the lesser of their estimated net realizable value or actual costs incurred and only when realization is probable and can be reliably estimated. Management reviews outstanding receivables on a quarterly basis and assesses the need for reserves, taking into consideration past collection history and other events that bear on the collectability of such receivables. All receivables over 60 days old are reviewed as part of this process.

 

Share-based compensation: Share-based compensation is measured at the grant date, based on the fair value of the award.  The majority of the Company's equity awards granted in fiscal years 2013, 2012, and 2011 were restricted stock unit awards. Share-based compensation cost for restricted stock unit awards is based on the fair market value of the Company’s stock on the date of grant.  Stock-based compensation cost for stock options is calculated on the date of grant using the fair value of stock options, as calculated using the Black-Scholes pricing model.

 

Net deferred tax asset: We have approximately $1.4 million in net deferred tax assets as of June 28, 2013, for continuing operations. These deferred tax assets are comprised of tax benefits associated with accrued expenses, reserves and employee benefits and are offset against deferred tax liabilities related to depreciation and amortization. We expect these net deferred tax assets to be fully utilized except for net operating loss carry-forwards from our Philippine branch in the amount of $106,000 for which, consistent with prior years, we continue to maintain a valuation allowance.

 

Long-lived assets: We review long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset might not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized if the carrying value exceeds the fair value. We review the cash flows of the operating units to ensure the carrying values do not exceed the cash flows that they support. Any write-downs are treated as permanent reductions. We believe our long-lived assets as of June 28, 2013 are fully realizable.

 

28
 

 

 

Goodwill: The carrying value of goodwill at June 28, 2013 and June 29, 2012 was $7.5 million and $7.4 million, respectively. The goodwill balances were principally generated from our fiscal year 2012 acquisition of Charron and our 2011 acquisitions of PPS and ADVENT. In performing the goodwill impairment analysis, management utilized a market-based valuation approach. We have elected to perform the annual goodwill impairment assessment on the last day of each fiscal year. As part of the impairment assessment, public companies and discounted cash flow analyses were performed to prepare a market-based valuation. Based upon the analysis, the estimated fair value of our reporting units exceeded the carrying value of the net assets as of June 28, 2013. Accordingly, the goodwill impairment test for fiscal year 2013 concluded that none of our goodwill was impaired. Should the financial performance of the reporting units not meet estimates, then impairment of goodwill would have to be further assessed to determine whether a write down of goodwill value would be warranted. If such a write down were to occur, it would negatively impact our financial position and results of operations. However, it would not impact our cash flow or financial debt covenants.

 

Intangible assets: The net carrying value of our intangible assets at June 28, 2013 and June 29, 2012 was $1.8 million and $2.3 million, respectively. The intangible assets include customer related assets, marketing related assets, and technology-based assets. These intangible assets are amortized over a 5 - 8 year useful life. We review our intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the asset might not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized if the carrying value exceeds the fair value. Any impairments of the asset are treated as permanent reductions. We believe that our intangible assets were not impaired during fiscal years 2013 or 2012.

 

Asset retirement obligation: The Company has recorded an asset retirement obligation associated with the commencing clean-up costs for the discontinued operations of the Lab that resides in the operations of the ECM segment. This obligation represents the estimated costs to clean-up the laboratory and return it to its original state. At June 28, 2013 and June 29, 2012, the asset retirement obligation was approximately $0.7 million. The asset retirement obligation is included in the Other Current Liabilities line item in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets.

 

Impact of Inflation

 

We protect ourselves from the effects of inflation. The majority of contracts we perform are for a period of a year or less and are firm fixed price contracts. Multi-year contracts provide for projected increases in labor and other costs.

 

Business Segments

 

We have the following three business segments: ECM, ESG, and PSG. Additional details regarding these segments are contained in Note B - Business Segments, of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this report on Form 10-K.

 

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

 

We have not entered into any transactions using derivative financial instruments or derivative commodity instruments and believe that our exposure to interest rate risk and other relevant market risk is not material.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 

Board of Directors and Shareholders

Versar, Inc.

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Versar, Inc. (a Delaware corporation) and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of June 28, 2013 and June 29, 2012, and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income (loss), changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the three fiscal years in the period ended June 28, 2013. Our audits of the basic consolidated financial statements included the financial statement schedule listed in the index appearing under 15(2)(a). These financial statements and financial statement schedule are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial statement schedule 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. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, 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 Versar, Inc. and subsidiaries as of June 28, 2013 and June 29, 2012, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended June 28, 2013 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein.

VERSAR, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

NOTE A - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Significant Accounting Policies

 

Principles of consolidation and business operations: Versar, Inc., a Delaware corporation organized in 1969 (the “Company” or “Versar”), is a global project management firm that provides sustainable value oriented solutions to government and commercial clients. We also provide tailored and secure solutions in extreme environments and offer specialized abilities in staff augmentation, performance based remediation, and hazardous material management. The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Versar, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (“Versar” or the “Company”). All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company operates within three business segments as follows: (1) Engineering and Construction Management (“ECM”), (2) Environmental Services (“ESG”), and (3) Professional Services (“PSG”). Refer to Note C - Business Segments for additional information. Our financial year end is based upon 52 or 53 weeks per year ending on the last Friday of the fiscal period and therefore does not close on a calendar month end. The Company’s fiscal year 2013 included 52 weeks, its fiscal year 2012 included 52 weeks, and its fiscal year 2011 included 53 weeks.

 

Accounting estimates: The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), which require 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. Actual results may differ from those estimates.

 

Contract accounting and revenue recognition: Contracts in process are stated at the lower of actual cost incurred plus accrued profits or incurred costs reduced by progress billings. The Company records income from major fixed-price contracts, extending over more than one accounting period, using the percentage-of-completion method. During performance of such contracts, estimated final contract prices and costs are periodically reviewed and revisions are made as required. The effects of these revisions are included in the periods in which the revisions are made. On cost-plus-fee type contracts, revenue is recognized to the extent of costs incurred plus a proportionate amount of fee earned, and on time-and-material contracts, revenue is recognized to the extent of billable rates times hours delivered plus material and other reimbursable costs incurred. Losses on contracts are recognized when they become known.

 

Direct costs of services and overhead: These expenses represent the cost to Versar of direct and overhead staff, including recoverable overhead costs and unallowable costs that are directly attributable to contracts performed by the Company.

 

Pre-contract costs: Costs incurred by the Company prior to the execution of a contract, including bid and proposal costs, are expensed when incurred regardless of whether the bid is successful.

 

Depreciation and amortization: Property and equipment are carried at cost net of accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization are computed on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets.

 

Allowance for doubtful accounts receivable: Disputes arise in the normal course of our business on projects where we are contesting with customers for collection of funds because of events such as delays, changes in contract specifications and questions of cost allowability and collectability. Such disputes, whether claims or unapproved change orders in process of negotiation, are recorded at the lesser of their estimated net realizable value or actual costs incurred and only when realization is probable and can be reliably estimated. Management reviews outstanding receivables on a quarterly basis and assesses the need for reserves, taking into consideration past collection history and other events that bear on the collectability of such receivables. All receivables over 60 days old are reviewed as part of this process.

 

36
 

 

Share-based compensation: Share-based compensation expense is measured at the grant date, based on the fair value of the award.  The Company's recent equity awards have been restricted stock unit awards. Share-based compensation cost for restricted stock unit awards is based on the fair market value of the Company’s stock on the date of grant.  Share-based compensation cost for stock options is calculated on the date of grant using the fair value of stock options. Compensation expense is then recognized ratably over the requisite service period of the grants.

 

Net income (loss) per share: Basic net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income from continuing operations and discontinued operations by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per common share also includes common equivalent shares outstanding during the period, if dilutive. The Company’s common equivalent shares consist of shares to be issued under outstanding stock options and shares to be issued upon vesting of unvested restricted stock units.

 

The following is a reconciliation of weighted average outstanding shares for purposes of calculating basic net income (loss) per share compared to diluted net income (loss) per share, in thousands:

 

   Years Ended 
   June 28,
2013
   June 29,
2012
   July 1,
2011
 
   (in thousands) 
Weighted average number of shares outstanding – basic   9,500    9,366    9,261 
                
Effect of assumed exercise of stock options and vesting of restricted stock units   10    15    22 
                
Weighted average number of shares outstanding – diluted   9,510    9,381    9,283 

 

For fiscal years 2013, 2012, and 2011, options to purchase approximately 10,000, 27,000, and 22,000 shares of common stock, respectively, were not included in the computation of diluted net income (loss) per share because the effect would be anti-dilutive.

 

Cash and cash equivalents: All investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased are considered to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents are maintained at financial institutions and, at times, balances may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has never experienced any losses related to these balances.

 

Inventory: The Company’s inventory is valued at the lower of cost or market and is accounted for on a first-in first-out basis.

 

Long-lived assets: The Company is required to review long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset might not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized if the carrying value exceeds the fair value. Any write-downs are treated as permanent reductions. The Company believes its long-lived assets as of June 28, 2013 are fully recoverable.

 

Income taxes: The Company recognizes deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts and the tax bases of certain assets and liabilities. A valuation allowance is established, as necessary, to reduce deferred income tax assets to the amount expected to be realized in future periods.

 

Goodwill: The goodwill balances result principally from the Company’s fiscal year 2012 acquisition of Charron Construction Consulting, Inc. (“Charron”) and the 2010 acquisitions of Professional Protection Systems Limited (“PPS”) and ADVENT Environmental, Inc. (“ADVENT”). In performing its goodwill impairment analysis, management utilized a market-based valuation approach to determine the estimated fair value of the Company’s reporting units, which carry goodwill and therefore are subject to the analysis. The Company has elected to perform the annual goodwill impairment assessment on the last day of each fiscal year. An analysis was performed on public companies and discounted cash flows to prepare a market-based valuation. Based upon the fiscal year 2013 analysis, the estimated fair value of the Company’s reporting units exceeded the carrying value of their net assets and therefore, management concluded that the goodwill was not impaired.

 

37
 

 

Other intangible assets: The net carrying value of intangible assets at June 28, 2013 and June 29, 2012 was $1.8 and $2.3 million, respectively. The intangible assets include customer related assets, marketing related assets, and technology-based assets. These intangible assets are amortized over a 5 - 8 year useful life. The Company is required to review its amortized intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the asset might not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized if the carrying value exceeds the fair value. Any impairment of the assets would be treated as permanent reductions. We concluded that our intangible assets were not impaired during fiscal years 2013 and 2012.

 

Asset retirement obligation: The Company has recorded an asset retirement obligation associated with the commencing clean-up costs for the discontinued operations of the Lab that resides in the operations of the ECM segment. This obligation represents the estimated costs to clean-up the laboratory and return it to its original state. At June 28, 2013 and June 29, 2012, the asset retirement obligation was approximately $0.7 million. The asset retirement obligation is included in the Other Current Liabilities line item in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets.

 

Treasury stock: The Company records treasury stock using the cost basis method. There were approximately 270,020 and 253,600 shares of treasury stock valued at approximately $1.2 million and $1.2 million at June 28, 2013 and June 29, 2012, respectively.

 

Foreign Currency Translation: The financial position and results of operations of the Company’s foreign affiliates are translated using the local currency as the functional currency. Assets and liabilities of the affiliates are translated at the exchange rate in effect at year-end. Statement of Operations accounts are translated at the average rate of exchange prevailing during the year. Translation adjustments arising from the use of differing exchange rates from period to period are included in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) within the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Changes in Stockholders’ Equity. Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in operations and are not material for the fiscal years presented. At June 28, 2013 and June 29, 2012, the Company had cash held in foreign banks of approximately $0.9 million and $1.4 million, respectively.

 

Fair value Measurements: The fair values of our cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities approximate their carrying values because of the short-term nature of those instruments. Certain non-financial assets and liabilities are measured at fair value on a recurring and a non-recurring basis. These non-financial assets and liabilities are written down to their fair value when they are determined to be impaired.

 

Commitments and Contingencies: Liabilities for loss contingencies arising from claims, assessments, litigation, fines, and penalties and other sources are recorded when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the assessment and/or remediation can be reasonably estimated.

 

NOTE B – DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

 

On February 5, 2013, our Board of Directors discussed the plan to discontinue certain of the Company’s business operations, including Versar’s chemical laboratory (“Lab”), telecommunications (“Telecom”), and domestic products (“Product”) components. Management has decided these components are no longer aligned with the Company's business strategy. The operations of these components consolidate into operations within the Engineering and Construction Management (“ECM”) segment. Beginning in February 2013, the Company began to independently sell the assets associated with these three business units through various means, such as online advertisements and through existing customers and as of June 28, 2013, substantially all of the assets of these three business units have been sold.

 

Our consolidated financial statements and related footnote disclosures reflect the Lab, Telecom, and Products components as discontinued operations. Losses associated with these components, net of applicable income taxes, is shown as loss from discontinued operations for all periods presented (excluding quarterly financial data in Note S). The Company is required to clean the laboratory and return it to its original state in accordance with environmental regulations in order to fully complete the plan to discontinue the operations of the Lab. A reserve of approximately $0.7 million has been established for this liability; in addition to the approximate $0.2 million in clean-up costs incurred to date, and are included within “Other Current Liabilities” on the balance sheet.

 

38
 

 

The assets sold from the Lab, Telecom, and Products components consisted of equipment, furniture, and vehicles having a carrying value of approximately $0.4 million.

(a) Gross Profit (Loss) is defined as gross revenue less purchased services and materials, at cost, less direct costs of services and overhead. During fiscal year 2013, the Company’s management has changed the method of allocating overhead to the reportable segments in order to refine the information used by our Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”). The new methodology allocates certain cost proportionally on the basis of direct labor, while the old methodology allocated overhead costs on a non-proportional basis. The presentation of 2012 and 2011 has been reclassified to conform to the 2013 presentation.

NOTE D - ACQUISITIONS

 

On May 31, 2012, the Company acquired all of the outstanding equity of Charron, headquartered in Dulles, Virginia for $3.4 million. Charron is a national construction project management firm that since 1992 has provided construction management services for a broad spectrum of projects including office, retail, industrial, civic, and various government facilities. The Company is integrating Charron into its ECM business segment.

 

This acquisition was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting. The results of operations for Charron since the acquisition date are included in the Company’s accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company primarily utilized its working capital in conjunction with notes to the sellers, earn out provisions, and company stock to fund the acquisition. The Company recorded the excess of the respective purchase prices for the acquisition over the estimated fair value of the net tangible and specifically identifiable intangible assets acquired as goodwill. Specifically identifiable intangible assets consist of technology-related, customer-related, and marketing-related intangible assets. Costs associated with the transaction are expensed when incurred.

 

The transaction costs to purchase Charron were approximately $63,000 and primarily related to legal and valuation support. These costs are included in the Other Expense line in the Company’s fiscal year 2012 Consolidated Statement of Operations.

 

The Company’s purchase price for acquiring 100% of the equity interests in Charron was comprised of the following: (i) cash paid of approximately $2.0 million (including a holdback amount of $0.2 million), (ii) the issuance of seller notes to two selling shareholders with an aggregate principal amount of $1.0 million, payable in full on May 31, 2015 with an interest rate of 5% per annum, and (iii) contingent cash consideration payable to certain of the selling shareholders through an earn-out provision that is based upon Charron meeting certain funded backlog targets measured as of April 1, 2013. The fair value of the earn-out provision was calculated as of May 31, 2012 as approximately $0.4 million. The fair value was determined using the Company’s probability analysis of the outcome of the earn-out provision and a discount rate commensurate with the rate on the Company’s notes payable to sellers.

 

The Company’s allocation of the purchase price based on the fair value of acquired assets and liabilities was as follows:.

NOTE E - GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS

 

Goodwill

 

The Company’s goodwill balance was derived from the acquisition of Charron in fiscal year 2012, the acquisitions of PPS and ADVENT in fiscal year 2010, and the acquisition of VGI in fiscal year 1998. In addition, we recorded a $97 thousand adjustment to goodwill during FY13 related to a purchase price adjustment related to the Charron acquisition. The purchase price adjustment was recorded as an increase to goodwill as the increase in the final acquisition price did not affect the determination of the fair value of the net assets of the acquired entity. A roll-forward of the carrying value of the Company’s goodwill balance, by business segment, for fiscal years 2013 and 2012 is as follows (in thousands):

Balance, June 28, 2013  $5,547    1,968    7,515 

 

The Company performs a goodwill impairment analysis each year on the last day of its fiscal year end or more frequently if an event occurs that may indicate possible impairment (a triggering event). In the event that goodwill is determined to be impaired it would result in a charge against earnings on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations. However, an impairment charge would not impact the Company’s cash flow. The result of the Company’s fiscal year 2013, 2012, and 2011 goodwill impairment assessments concluded that goodwill was not impaired.

 

Intangible Assets

 

In connection with the acquisitions of Charron, PPS, and ADVENT the Company identified certain intangible assets. These intangible assets were customer-related, marketing-related and technology-related. A summary of the Company’s intangible asset balances as of June 28, 2013 and June 29, 2012, as well as their respective amortization periods, is as follows (in thousands):

NOTE F - FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT

 

The Company analyzes its financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value and categorizes them within the fair value hierarchy based on the level of judgment associated with the inputs used to measure their fair value in accordance with the authoritative guidance for fair value instruments and the fair value option for financial assets and financial liabilities. The fair value hierarchy is as follows:

 

Level 1 Inputs - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date.

 

Level 2 Inputs - Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These might include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (such as interest rates, volatilities, prepayment speeds, credit risks, etc.) or inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by market data by correlation or other means.

 

Level 3 Inputs - Unobservable inputs for determining the fair values of assets or liabilities that reflect an entity's own valuation about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the assets or liabilities.

 

The fair values of the Company’s cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities approximate their carrying values because of the short-term nature of these instruments. 

 

42
 

 

Certain non-financial assets and liabilities are measured at fair value on a recurring basis primarily using Level 3 inputs. These include reporting units measured at fair value using market and income approaches in the first step of an annual goodwill impairment test. These non-financial assets and liabilities are written down to their fair value when they are determined to be impaired.

 

Certain non-financial assets, including goodwill, intangible assets and other non-financial long-lived assets, are measured at fair value using market and income approaches on a non-recurring basis when there is an indication that there may be a triggering event which could result in impairment. These non-financial assets and liabilities are written down to their fair value when they are determined to be impaired.

 

The Company also used Level 3 inputs related to the valuation of intangible assets and contingent consideration arising from the acquisitions of Charron, PPS, and ADVENT. The valuation techniques used were based on inputs that were unobservable in the active market and are developed based upon the best information available under the circumstances, which might include the reporting entity’s data.

NOTE M - DEBT

 

Line of Credit

 

On October 25, 2011, the Company’s line of credit facility with United Bank (the “Bank”) was modified to extend its maturity date to September 25, 2012 and to increase its available borrowing capacity to $15 million and to modify certain covenants, interest rate and fee provisions. On September 14, 2012, the line of credit facility was modified to extend its maturity date to September 25, 2014 and to make certain other changes to the terms and conditions governing the line of credit, including a slight increase in the line of credit commitment fee from 17 basis points to 25 basis points. The line of credit is collateralized by the Company’s accounts receivable. As amended, the line of credit is subject to certain covenants related to the maintenance of financial ratios. These covenants require a minimum tangible net worth of $18.5 million; a maximum total liabilities to tangible net worth ratio not to exceed 2.0 to 1; and a minimum current ratio of at least 1.25 to 1. The Company was in compliance with all financial ratio covenants under the facility as of June 28, 2013 and June 29, 2012. As amended, borrowings under the line of credit bear interest at prime less 0.5% with a floor interest rate of 3.5%. Failure to meet the financial ratio covenant requirements gives the Bank the right to demand outstanding amounts due under the line of credit, which may impact the Company’s ability to finance its working capital requirements. The Company cumulatively borrowed and repaid $0 and $13.6 million under the line of credit during fiscal year 2013 and 2012, respectively. Accordingly, the Company had no outstanding borrowings under the line of credit at June 28, 2013.

 

Notes Payable

 

As part of the acquisition of Charron in May 2012, the Company issued notes payable with principal amounts totaling $1.0 million, which are payable quarterly over a three-year period with interest accruing at a rate of 5% per annum. At June 28, 2013, the outstanding principal balance of the Charron notes payable was $0.7 million.

 

As part of the acquisition of PPS in January 2011, the Company issued notes payable with principal amounts totaling $0.9 million, which were payable quarterly over a two-year period with interest accruing at a rate of 5% per annum. The PPS notes payable were paid in full during fiscal year 2012.

 

As part of the acquisition of ADVENT in March 2010, the Company issued notes payable with principal amounts totaling $1.75 million, which were payable quarterly over a two-year period with interest accruing at a rate of 5% per annum. The ADVENT notes payable were paid in full during fiscal year 2012.

NOTE N – SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION

 

In November 2010, the Company’s stockholders approved the Versar, Inc. 2010 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2010 Plan”). The Company may grant incentive awards to directors, officers, and employees of the Company and its affiliates and to service providers to the Company and its affiliates under the 2010 Plan. One million shares of the Company’s common stock were reserved for issuance under the 2010 Plan. The 2010 Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. From the approval date of the 2010 Plan through June 28, 2013, a total of 296,810 restricted stock units have been issued under the 2010 Plan, leaving 706,190 shares remaining available for the future issuance of awards under the 2010 Plan.

 

During the 2013 fiscal year, the Company awarded 210,060 restricted stock units to executive officers, employees and Board members, which generally vest over a period of one to two years following the date of grant. Share-based compensation expense relating to the vesting of stock options and restricted stock unit awards totaled approximately $424,000, $261,000, and $187,000 for fiscal years 2013, 2012, and 2011. This expense was included in the direct costs of services and overhead lines of the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The Company regularly reviews the recoverability of its deferred tax assets and establishes a valuation allowance as deemed appropriate. As of the end of fiscal year 2013, the Company had $167,000 in valuation allowance related to the deferred tax assets from the Philippine branch operations and to the temporarily disallowed U.S. capital loss carry forwards, $58,000 and $109,000, respectively. As of the end of fiscal year 2012 the Company had a valuation allowance of approximately $58,000 related to deferred tax assets in the Philippine branch operations. The Company established a valuation allowance on its Philippine branch operations in the past and current year as it is not more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will be realized for these operations in future periods as current projections indicate periods of pre-tax loss. In the fiscal year 2013, the Company also established a valuation allowance on the capital loss carry forward as it is not more likely than not that it will be utilized before the end of the carryforward period fiscal year 2014.

 

At June 28, 2013, the Company has net operating loss carry-forwards in the Philippines branch of approximately $57,000 ($188,000 gross) which will expire in FY2014 and after.

In accordance with FASB’s guidance regarding uncertain tax positions, the Company recognizes income tax benefits in its financial statements only when it is more likely than not that the tax positions creating those benefits will be sustained by the taxing authorities based on the technical merits of those tax positions. At June 28, 2013 the Company did not have any uncertain tax positions. The Company’s 2012, 2011, 2010, 2009, 2008 and 2007 tax years remain open to audit in most jurisdictions.

 

The Company’s policy is to recognize interest expense and penalties as a component of general and administrative expense.

NOTE P - EMPLOYEE SAVINGS AND STOCK OWNERSHIP PLAN

 

The Company continues to maintain the Versar, Inc. 401(k) Plan (“401(k) Plan”), which permits voluntary participation upon employment. The 401(k) Plan was adopted in accordance with Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code.

 

Under the 401(k) Plan, participants may elect to defer up to 50% of their salary through contributions to the plan, which are invested in selected mutual funds or used to buy insurance. The Company matches 100% of the first 3% and 50% of the next 2% of the employee-qualified contributions for a total match of 4%. The employer contribution may be made in the Company’s stock or cash. In fiscal years 2013, 2012, and 2011, the Company made cash contributions of $1,015,000, $986,000, and $988,000, respectively. All contributions to the 401(k) Plan vest immediately.

 

In January 2005, the Company established an Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”) under Section 423 of the United States Internal Revenue Code. The ESPP allows eligible employees of the Company and its designated affiliates to purchase, through payroll deductions, shares of common stock of the Company from the open market. The Company will not reserve shares of authorized but unissued common stock for issuance under the ESPP. Instead, a designated broker will purchase shares for participants on the open market. Eligible employees may purchase the shares at a discounted rate equal to 95% of the closing price of the Company’s shares on the NYSE MKT on the purchase date.

NOTE Q – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

Lease Obligations

 

The Company leases approximately 152,000 square feet of office space, as well as data processing and other equipment under agreements expiring through 2021. Minimum future obligations under operating leases are as follows:

 

 

Fiscal Year Ended

  Total
Amount
 
   (in thousands) 
     
2014  $2,099 
2015   1,877 
2016   1,769 
2017   1,762 
2018   1,668 
   Thereafter   4,364 
   $13,539 

 

Certain of the lease payments are subject to adjustment for increases in utility costs and real estate taxes. Total office rental expense approximated $3.5 million, $3.0 million, and $2.4 million, for fiscal years 2013, 2012, and 2011, respectively. Lease concessions and other tenant allowances are amortized over the life of the lease on a straight line basis. For leases with fixed rent escalations, the total lease costs including the fixed rent escalations are totaled and the total rent cost is recognized on a straight line basis over the life of the lease.

 

Disallowed Costs

 

Versar has a substantial number of U.S. Government contracts, and certain of these contracts are cost reimbursable. Costs incurred on these contracts are subject to audit by the Defense Contract Audit Agency (“DCAA”). All fiscal years through 2006 have been audited and closed. Management believes that the effect of disallowed costs, if any, for the periods not yet audited and settled with DCAA will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets or Consolidated Statements of Operations.

 

Legal Proceedings

 

Versar and its subsidiaries are parties from time to time to various legal actions arising in the normal course of business. The Company believes that any ultimate unfavorable resolution of any currently ongoing legal actions will not have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial condition and results of operations.

NOTE S – SUBSEQUENT EVENT

 

On September 3, 2013, Versar purchased all of the issued and outstanding shares of Geo-Marine, Inc. (“GMI”) for an aggregate price of up to $6.5 million. Versar will pay a cash amount equal to $3.1 million and issue a promissory note with an aggregate principal amount of $1.25 million, a three-year term, and interest accruing at 5% per year. In addition, Versar shall issue up to two (2) additional promissory notes with an aggregate principal amount of up to $2.15 million based on a number of proposals identified by GMI that result in contract awards to GMI. Headquartered in Plano, Texas, GMI provides engineering design, construction management, environmental planning and programming, and other services in support of a wide range of government, industry, and commercial clients. GMI is a strategic acquisition for Versar and their environmental expertise and customer base will allow us to expand our reach in terms of clients, technical capabilities and geography. As of the date of our filing of this Form 10K for fiscal year 2013, we have not yet completed our purchase price allocation for GMI acquisition; however we expect this to be completed by the second quarter of fiscal year 2014.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures

 

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s “disclosure controls and procedures” (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) was carried out as of June 28, 2013, the last day of the fiscal period covered by this report. This evaluation was made by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. Based upon this evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (a) are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is timely recorded, processed, summarized and reported and (b) include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal controls over financial reporting for the Company. Internal control over financial reporting is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the Company’s principal executive and principal financial officers and effected by the Company’s board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and includes those policies and procedures that:

 

• Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company;

 

• Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and

 

• Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

 

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

 

Internal control over financial reporting cannot provide absolute assurance of achieving financial reporting objectives because of its inherent limitations. Internal control over financial reporting is a process that involves human diligence and compliance and is subject to lapses in judgment and breakdowns resulting from human failure. Internal control over financial reporting can also be circumvented by collusion or improper management override. Because of such limitations, there is a risk that material misstatements may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by internal control over financial reporting. However, these inherent limitations are known features of the financial reporting process. Therefore, it is possible to design into the process safeguards to reduce, though not eliminate, this risk.

 

52
 

 

The Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of June 28, 2013. In making this assessment, the Company’s management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission’s Internal Control-Integrated Framework.

Based on our assessment, management has concluded that, as of June 28, 2013, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective based on those criteria.

 

Attestation Report of the Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 

This Annual Report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting was not subject to attestation by the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm pursuant to a permanent exemption granted under Section 989G of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act for smaller reporting companies that permits the Company to provide only management’s report in this Annual Report.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation of such internal control that occurred during the Company’s fourth quarter of fiscal year 2013 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
