Net income, income from operations and earnings per share were significantly impacted in the first quarter of fiscal 2009 as a result of several costs that the Company considers to be out of the ordinary.

The results for the first quarter of fiscal 2009 also include approximately $0.6 million of business development costs as the Company continues to invest in future business opportunities, particularly in the national security and intelligence communities, and approximately $0.8 million of increased non-cash stock compensation costs. The results for the first quarter of fiscal 2008 included a $1.6 million non-recurring tax credit for research and development costs related to prior fiscal years, which also contributed to the higher earnings in the first quarter of 2008 compared to the first quarter of 2009. These costs are reflected primarily in the Company's SG&A expenses and have been factored into management's projections for fiscal 2009. For the full report, select this link.
