From the Desk of
Dr. Gerald "Mac" McNichols
October 22, 1999
Dear Fellow GRC International Shareholder:
In September 1999, I made the largest investment of my life when I sold my
company Management Consulting & Research Inc. (MCR) to GRC. As a result, I am
now the largest shareholder of GRC International, and most of my net worth is in
GRC stock. I made this investment largely because of my full confidence in Dr.
Gary L. Denman and Joseph R. Wright, Jr. and their successful business plan, and
I urge you to re-elect them to GRC's Board of Directors.
One of the key reasons I sold my company to GRC - for GRC stock - was that I was
impressed by the new management team's success in refocusing GRC on its core
competencies and the Company's outstanding financial results. This was
especially brought home to me by GRC's earnings announcement on October 19. GRC
revenue for the quarter increased 25 percent to $45.8 million, and operating
income for the quarter doubled to $4.2 million. This was the seventh consecutive
quarter of year-to-year double-digit revenue growth for GRC. (See enclosed copy
of press release.)
I am sure you would agree that GRC President & CEO Gary Denman and Chairman Joe
Wright are doing a tremendous job and that now is certainly not the right time
to change direction. They have a solid business plan that is succeeding and a
strong proven track record.
As shareholders, we should support our management that is producing these great
results. The strong results that they have brought us since becoming CEO and
Chairman, respectively, indicate that GRC is heading in the right direction.
Please join me in voting to re-elect Gary Denman and Joe Wright.
Sincerely,
/s/ Dr. Gerald "Mac" McNichols

GRC International Reports First Quarter Financial Results:
Revenues Rise 25% to $45.8 Million
Operating Income Doubles to $4.2 Million
Vienna, Va., October 19, 1999 - GRC International (NYSE: GRH) today reported its
seventh consecutive quarter of year-to-year double-digit revenue growth and its
fifth consecutive quarter of year-to-year operating income improvement of 50
percent or more.
For the first quarter ended September 30, 1999, revenues were up 25 percent to
$45.8 million, compared to revenues of $36.8 million for the first quarter of
last year. Current quarter revenues included a $2.5 million contribution by GRCI
subsidiary Management Consulting & Research Inc., which was acquired on
September 2, 1999, as one element of management's long-term growth strategy for
the company. Excluding the MCR contribution, revenues increased 18 percent
year-to-year from a broad base of contracts, further demonstrating the company's
fundamental strength.
"GRCI's continuing strong revenue growth, which is now being supplemented by our
recent acquisition of MCR, unquestionably demonstrates we are on the right
course to continue building additional shareholder value," said President and
CEO Gary Denman. "Our three-part revenue enhancement strategy to grow revenues
from existing customers, capture new customers, and add to revenues through
selective, accretive acquisitions is clearly delivering positive results."
Operating income for the first quarter of the current year doubled to $4.2
million compared to $2.1 million for the same quarter last year. The operating
margin percentage for the current quarter rose sharply to 9.1 percent from 5.8
percent last year. Current quarter operating income includes $920,000 from the
favorable resolution of prior year contract audits and settlement of a contract
claim. Excluding these benefits, operating income would have risen 57 percent to
$3.3 million with an operating margin of 7.1 percent, both of which are
significantly above goals set by management.
Income from continuing operations before taxes for the quarter was up 123
percent to $3.9 million from $1.8 million last year.
Net income for the first quarter of the current year was $2.4 million, or $0.21
per diluted share. This includes a $1.6 million tax provision. Last year, the
company reported first quarter net income of $3.1 million, or $0.30 per diluted
share. Those results included a $1.3 million net tax benefit related to the
recognition of prior year tax net operating loss carryforwards.
Management Discussion
"Revenue growth is only one component of our improvement strategy for GRCI,"
said Denman. "We understand that sustainable value requires strong margin
improvement and growing cash flows in addition to top line revenue growth. I am
pleased to report we are delivering on all three parts of our plan. The basis
for the significant increase in recurring margins this quarter is two fold. We
are managing and controlling our indirect costs more closely and we are placing

greater emphasis on profit performance for our time-and-materials contracts,
which now account for approximately 60 percent of our business.
"The margin improvement we are reporting this quarter goes well beyond our
stated goal of increasing pre-tax margin by 10 percent year-over-year," said
Denman. "We continue to build measurable value at GRCI and plan to continue
doing so for the foreseeable future.
"We also have continued to make excellent progress on our balance sheet," said
Denman. "Even during a quarter when we used a portion of our credit line to
acquire MCR, we ended the quarter with only $16.5 million in long-term debt,
down substantially from one year ago when long-term debt stood at $23.8 million.
This is further proof that we can execute our acquisition strategy, sustain
growth and profitability, and maintain healthy ratios on the balance sheet.
These are excellent results, top to bottom.
"Performance from our growth and profitability improvement plan continues to
exceed all expectations. These results reported on the heels of the strong
performance we have delivered over past seven quarters demonstrate that our new
management team has put the company's poor performance behind it. I look forward
to continue implementing our plan."
