11,969,313 Shares of DynCorp Common Stock
(Par Value $0.10 per Share)
Of the 11,969,313 shares of DynCorp (the "Company") common stock, par
value $0.10 per share (the "Common Stock"), being offered hereby (the
"Offering"), 4,277,728 shares may be offered and sold by the Company, 5,810,308
shares (which represent all of the shares owned by certain officers, directors,
and affiliates of the Company as of the date of this Prospectus) may be offered
and sold by such officers, directors, and affiliates, and 1,881,277 shares may
be offered and sold by other current and former employees and other stockholders
of the Company. See "Securities Offered by this Prospectus." The Company will
not receive any portion of the net proceeds from the sale of shares by officers,
directors, affiliates or other individual employees or stockholders.
The 4,277,728 shares of Common Stock offered by the Company (of which
approximately 1,600,000 are currently treasury shares which were acquired by the
Company pursuant to the Stockholders Agreement and through the Employee Stock
Ownership Plan ("ESOP") between 1989 and 1995, and the remainder of such shares
are heretofore unissued shares) are expected to be offered as follows: (i) up to
850,000 shares may be issued and delivered by the Company to a trustee for the
benefit of employees under the DynCorp Savings and Retirement Plan; (ii) up to
100,000 shares may be issued and delivered by the Company to employees under the
DynCorp Employee Stock Purchase Plan; (iii) up to 1,200,000 shares may be issued
upon the exercise of options granted and available to be granted to employees
under the DynCorp 1995 Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan; (iv) up to 300,000
shares may be issued and delivered to employees under the DynCorp Executive
Incentive Plan; and (v) up to 1,827,728 shares may be offered and sold by the
Company to present and future employees and directors through one or more of the
employee benefit plans listed above. The actual number of shares offered and
sold by the Company under each category may be less than the indicated number,
but will not exceed the maximum for such category. See "Securities Offered by
this Prospectus" and "Employee Benefit Plans."
All of the shares offered hereby will be offered and sold on a limited
trading market (the "Internal Market") established by the Company's wholly owned
subsidiary, DynEx, Inc. The Internal Market is established and managed by DynEx,
Inc., in order to provide employees, directors and stockholders of the Company
the opportunity to buy and sell shares of Common Stock. The Internal Market
generally permits eligible stockholders to buy and sell shares of Common Stock
on four predetermined days each year (each a "Trade Date"). All offers and sales
on the Internal Market by officers, directors, employees, affiliates and other
stockholders of the Company may, for purposes of the registration requirements
of the Securities Act of 1933, be attributed to the Company. The Company may
also sell (through one or more of its employee benefit plans) or buy shares of
Common Stock on the Internal Market for its own account, but will do so only to
address imbalances between the number of shares offered for sale and bid for
purchase by shareholders on any particular Trade Date. The Company will not be
both a buyer and a seller on the Internal Market on the same Trade Date. The
purchase and sale of shares on the Internal Market are carried out by Buck
Investment Services, Inc. ("Buck"), a registered broker-dealer, upon
instructions from the respective buyers and sellers. All stockholders (other
than the Company and its retirement plans) will pay a commission to Buck equal
to 2% of the proceeds from the sale of any shares of Common Stock sold by them
on the Internal Market, half of which will be paid to DynEx, Inc. to defray the
costs of establishing and maintaining the Internal Market. See "Market
Information -- The Internal Market."
There is no public market for the Common Stock, and it is not currently
anticipated that such a market will develop. To the extent that the Internal
Market does not provide sufficient liquidity for a shareholder, and the
shareholder is otherwise unable to locate a buyer for his or her shares of
Common Stock, the shareholder could effectively be subject to a total loss of
investment. See "Market Information -- The Internal Market."
All of the shares of Common Stock offered hereby will be subject to
certain restrictions (including restrictions on their transferability) set forth
in the Company's By-Laws (the "By-Laws") and may be subject to other
contingencies. Shares purchased on the Internal Market will be subject to
contractual transfer restrictions having the same effect as those contained in
the By-Laws. See "Description of Capital Stock -- Restrictions on Common Stock."
See "Risk Factors" on pages 6 through 11 for information concerning
certain factors that should be considered by prospective investors.
THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED BY THE SECURITIES
AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR ANY STATE SECURITIES COMMISSION; NOR HAS
THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR ANY
STATE SECURITIES COMMISSION PASSED UPON THE
ACCURACY OR ADEQUACY OF THIS PROSPECTUS.
ANY REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY IS A CRIMINAL OFFENSE.
The purchase price of the shares of Common Stock offered hereby, other
than those shares issuable upon exercise of options or awarded under the DynCorp
Executive Incentive Plan, will be determined pursuant to the formula and
valuation process described below (the "Formula Price"). The Formula Price per
share of Common Stock is the product of seven times the operating cash flow
("CF") where operating cash flow is represented by earnings before interest,
taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") of the Company for the four
fiscal quarters immediately preceding the date on which a price revision is to
occur and the market factor (the "Market Factor" denoted "MF"), plus the
non-operating assets at disposition value (net of disposition costs)("NOA"),
minus the sum of interest bearing debt adjusted to market and other outstanding
securities senior to Common Stock ("IBD") divided by the number of shares of
Common Stock outstanding at the date on which a price revision is made, on a
fully diluted basis assuming conversion of all Class C Preferred Stock and
exercise of all outstanding options and warrants ("ESO"). The Market Factor is a
numerical factor which reflects existing securities market conditions relevant
to the valuation of such stock. The Formula Price of the Common Stock, expressed
as an equation (the "Formula"), is as follows:
Formula Price = [(CF x 7)MF + NOA - IBD] / ESO
The Formula Price including the Market Factor will be reviewed four
times each year, generally in conjunction with Board of Directors meetings,
which are generally scheduled for February, May, August and November. At such
meetings, the Market Factor is reviewed by the Board in conjunction with an
appraisal which is prepared by an independent appraisal firm for the committee
administering the ESOP. The Board of Directors believes that the valuation
process results in a stock price which reasonably reflects the value of the
Company on a per share basis. See "Market Information -- Determination of
Offering Price" and "Market Information -- Price Range of Common Stock."
On May 9, 1996, the Formula Price as determined by the Company's
Board of Directors was $15.00 per share.
This Prospectus contains forward-looking statements that involve risks
and uncertainties. The Company's actual results may differ significantly from
the results discussed in the forward-looking statements. Factors that might
cause such differences include, but are not limited to, those discussed in "Risk
Factors".
The date of this Prospectus is May 10, 1996
THE COMPANY
DynCorp (the "Company") provides diversified management, technical, and
professional services to government and commercial customers throughout the
United States and internationally. The Company provides primarily information
technology, operations and maintenance, and research and development support
services under contracts with U.S. Government agencies, foreign government
agencies and commercial customers. The Company's U.S. Government customers
include the Department of Defense, the National Aeronautics and Space
Administration, the Department of State, the Department of Energy, the
Environmental Protection Agency, the Centers for Disease Control, the National
Institutes of Health, the U.S. Postal Service, and other U.S. Government
agencies.
1988 Leveraged Buy-Out
In late 1987, the Board of Directors of the Company received several
expressions of interest and firm proposals for the purchase of the Company.
Following negotiations with several parties, the Board entered into an agreement
and plan of merger with DME Holdings, Inc. ("DME"), a company newly formed by
the senior managers of the Company in conjunction with Capricorn Investors, L.P.
("Capricorn"), a limited partnership in which a company controlled by H. S.
Winokur, Jr., the Company's current Chairman, served as general partner, and
other outside investors. The agreement provided for a two-step transaction,
whereby DME made a partial tender offer for 51% of the outstanding common stock
of the Company, reduced by the number of DynCorp shares owned by DME, at a cash
price of $24.25 per share, followed by a second-step merger of DME into the
Company. In the merger, DME disappeared, and the Company was the surviving
corporation. Upon the merger, which was completed on September 9, 1988, each
remaining outstanding share of the Company's common stock (other than the shares
held by DME) was converted into the right to receive $8.82 in cash, $10.45
principal amount of newly issued DynCorp 16% pay-in-kind junior subordinated
debentures, and 0.1992 shares of newly issued DynCorp 17% redeemable pay-in-kind
Class A preferred stock. All the previously outstanding common stock of the
Company was automatically canceled, and each outstanding equity security of DME
was converted into a like security of the Company. Thus, the Company's capital
structure immediately following this leveraged buy-out (the "LBO") consisted of:
Post-LBO capitalization table (in thousands)
Long-term debt
ESOP exempt loan $100,000
Revolving credit 35,000
Bank bridge loan 5,000
Debentures (net of discount) 46,593
Other notes payable 1,399
Total long-term debt 187,992
Redeemable Class A preferred stock (net of discount) 14,504
Redeemable Class B preferred stock 10,875
Total redeemable preferred stock 25,379
Class C preferred stock 3,000
Common stock 474
Common stock warrants 15,119
Paid-in surplus 101,818
DME Holdings deficit (1,138)
ESOP loan (100,000)
Total stockholders equity 19,273
Total capitalization $232,644
The following tables set forth the sources and use of funds for the LBO
transaction:
Sources of funds (in millions):
$100.0 Bank loan to DynCorp. These funds were in turn
loaned to a newly formed DynCorp employee stock
ownership plan, which immediately used the
funds to purchase 4,123,711 shares of new
common stock of DynCorp, and DynCorp used the
proceeds to repay an earlier bridge loan of a
like amount used to fund the first step of the
two-step transaction
35.0 Bank revolving credit facility
5.0 Bank bridge loan
55.0 16% pay-in-kind Junior Subordinated Debentures (principal amount issued
in exchange for cancellation of DynCorp stock upon the merger)
26.2 Class A preferred 17% pay-in-kind redeemable stock (principal amount
issued in exchange for cancellation of DynCorp stock upon the merger)
13.0 Sale of DME Class B and C preferred stock, issued to investors and
subsequently converted into like securities of DynCorp
11.8 Sale of DME common stock, issued to investors and subsequently converted
into like securities of DynCorp (cash portion only; excludes shares of
DynCorp common stock and DynCorp options converted into DME stock)
35.0 Available cash of DynCorp
$281.0 Total
Uses of funds (in millions):
$253.1 Acquisition of DynCorp shares
9.7 Investment banker fees
0.1 Filing fees
4.2 Legal and accounting fees
1.0 Printing fees and expenses
0.1 Depository fees
0.2 Solicitation expenses
5.5 Break-up fee
2.0 Expenses of Special Committee of Board of Directors
3.7 Termination of Stock Options
1.4 Miscellaneous
$281.0
As to the officers, directors and affiliates whose shares of Common
Stock are offered hereby, the following table sets forth the securities owned by
such investors at the time of the LBO in September, 1988, their cost of
acquiring such securities, the number of shares of Common Stock into which such
securities have been or could be converted, the current market price for such
shares on the Internal Market, and the potential gain in the event such
investors were to sell all such shares offered hereby. These investors purchased
securities from DME Holdings, Inc., in March, 1988, and such securities were
converted into like securities of the Company in September, 1988. Although the
principal means of payment for the DME securities was cash, portions of the
price were paid by employees surrendering shares of pre-merger common stock,
valued at $22.31 per share, which was the pre-merger estimate of the fair market
value based on the blended two-step tender price; cancellation of vested
pre-merger options under the Company's former stock option plan, valued at the
spread between such pre-merger fair market value and the then-current exercise
price; and conversion of deferred compensation accounts held by the Company,
valued at the cash value of such accounts.

Recent Developments - Sale of Commercial Aviation Business
During the second quarter of 1995, the Company's Board of Directors
determined that it would be in the Company's best interest to discontinue its
commercial aviation business operations (the "Commercial Aviation Business"),
which provided approximately 20% of the Company's revenues in fiscal year 1994.
This decision was made as a result of several factors including: (i) the
Company's need for cash to reduce its debt, (ii) the capital-intensive nature of
the Commercial Aviation Business, (iii) the continuing losses of the unit of the
Commercial Aviation Business responsible for aircraft maintenance and repair
operations (the "Aircraft Maintenance Unit"), and (iv) a high level of interest
from potential buyers. On June 30, 1995, the Company sold the Aircraft
Maintenance Unit in a $13.7 million cash transaction with Sabreliner
Corporation. On August 31, 1995, the Company divested that portion of the
Commercial Aviation Business comprising its aviation ground handling business,
including DynAir Services, Inc. and its affiliates (the "Ground Handling Unit"),
in a $122 million (subject to adjustment) cash transaction with ALPHA Airports
Group Plc. The proceeds from the two aforementioned transactions have been used
to retire all of the Company's 16% Pay-In-Kind debentures and to satisfy
existing equipment financing obligations of the Ground Handling Unit. See
"Business -- Commercial Aviation" and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations."
Contemporaneously with the sale of the Commercial Aviation Business,
the Company agreed with 46 management employees of the sold entities and the
former president of the Commercial Aviation Business sector to repurchase their
Common Stock (other than stock held in their Employee Stock Ownership Plan
accounts) at the August 15, 1995 Formula Price. As a result, the Company has,
since June 30, 1995, repurchased 532,604 shares of Common Stock and Warrants, at
a cost of $7,916,536, and has agreed to repurchase an additional 42,664 shares
at a cost of $635,694 in May, 1996. In addition, in January, 1996, pursuant to a
Stockholders Agreement with other employees who terminated employment in 1994
and 1995, the Company repurchased 198,246 shares of Common Stock and Warrants
from such terminated employees, at a total cost of $2,952,275.
Recent Developments - Possible Sale or Merger of Company
The Company has engaged Bear Stearns & Co. Inc., ("Bear Stearns"), an
investment banking firm, to analyze the Company and its businesses with a view
to determining the potential value of the Company to a third-party purchaser.
Under the engagement, the Board of Directors has the option to authorize Bear
Stearns to discuss the possible acquisition of the Company or portions of the
Company with third-party potential buyers. It is possible that the Board of
Directors will authorize such discussions, although no specific buyer or
proposal has been identified to or by the Company. In the event a transaction
involving the sale or merger of the Company is approved by the Board of
Directors, the value of the Company's Common Stock in such a transaction could
be greater than or less than the Formula Price for shares sold on the Internal
Market.
Principal Executive Offices
The Company's principal executive offices are located at 2000 Edmund
Halley Drive, Reston, Virginia 22091-3436. The Company's telephone number is
(703) 264-0330. As used in this Prospectus, all references to the Company
include, unless the context indicates otherwise, DynCorp and its predecessor and
subsidiary corporations.
RISK FACTORS
Prior to purchasing the Common Stock offered hereby, purchasers should
carefully consider all of the information contained in this Prospectus and in
particular should carefully consider the following factors:
Past and Prospective Net Operating Losses
The Company reported net earnings of $2.4 million for the year ended
December 31, 1995 and net losses for the years ended December 31, 1994 and 1993
of $12.8 million and $13.4 million respectively, and for the years ended
December 31, 1992 and 1991 of $23.3 million and $12.4 million, respectively. In
the future, there can be no guarantee that profitable operations will be
sustained. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations."
Highly Leveraged Financial Position
As a result of the management buyout in 1988 and the recent acquisition
of several businesses, the Company is highly leveraged. As of December 31, 1995,
the Company had a long-term indebtedness of $104.1 million, temporary and
permanent stockholders' equity of $25.9 million, and a long-term debt-to-equity
ratio of 4.0:1. The Company's continuing debt service payments may have
materially adverse effects on its cash flow. In addition, the Company's debt
levels may limit its future ability to borrow funds, including borrowing for
growth opportunities or to respond to competitive conditions, or if additional
borrowings can be made, they may not be on terms favorable to the Company. The
Company's ability to meet its future debt service and working capital
requirements is dependent upon improved cash flow from the Company's continuing
operations, the potential expansion of the financing facility underlying the
Contract Receivable Collateralized Notes and the continuation of other programs
which have been initiated to improve operations and cash flows. If the Company
is unable to repay its debt as it becomes due, the purchasers of Common Stock
could lose some or all of their investment. See "Risk Factors -- Inability to
Maintain Certain Ratios Under the Contract Receivable Collateralized Notes" and
"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations."
Dependence on and Risks Inherent in U.S. Government Contracts
The Company derived 96% of its revenues in 1995 from contracts with the
U.S. Government ("Government Contracts"); contracts with the Department of
Defense ("DoD") represented 55% of the Company's 1995 revenues. Continuation and
renewal of the Company's existing Government Contracts and the acquisition by
the Company of additional Government Contracts is contingent upon, among other
things, the availability of adequate funding for various U.S. Government
agencies. The current world political situation and domestic pressure to reduce
the federal budget deficit have reduced, and may continue to reduce, military
and other spending by the U.S. Government.
Typically, a Government Contract has an initial term of one year combined
with two, three, or four one-year renewal periods, exercisable at the discretion
of the Government. The Government is not obligated to exercise its option to
renew a Government Contract. At the time of completion of a Government Contract,
the contract in its entirety is "recompeted" against all interested third-party
providers. Federal law permits the Government to terminate a contract at any
time if such termination is deemed to be in the Government's best interest. The
Government's failure to renew or termination of any significant portion of the
Company's Government Contracts could adversely affect the Company's business and
prospects. See "Business -- Government Contracting."
Termination of Contracts/Increased Demand on Cash Flow
Upon termination of any of the Company's contracts, including Government
Contracts, the Company would no longer accrue a stream of accounts receivable
thereunder for sale to its wholly owned financing subsidiary, Dyn Funding
Corporation ("DFC"), which may result in demands on the Company's available cash
as the Company endeavors to replace the terminated contracts. The ability of the
Company to maintain certain ratios under the Contract Receivable Collateralized
Notes depends in part on its ability to keep in force existing contracts and/or
acquire new contracts such that sufficient eligible receivables are available
for sale by the Company to DFC. See "Risk Factors -- Inability to Maintain
Certain Ratios Under the Contract Receivable Collateralized Notes" and "Business
- -- Factoring of Receivables."
Inability to Maintain Certain Ratios Under the Contract Receivable
Collateralized Notes
In 1992, the Company, DFC and various lending institutions entered into a
Note Purchase Agreement whereby DFC purchased certain accounts receivable from
the Company and issued to the lending institutions $100,000,000 of 5-year, 8.54%
Contract Receivable Collateralized Notes (the "Notes") which are secured by
certain of the Company's accounts receivable. By the terms of the Notes, in the
event that the interest coverage ratio (as defined in the Notes) falls below
certain prescribed levels and the Company's principal debt exceeds certain
amounts, DFC may be prohibited from purchasing additional receivables from the
Company, thereby reducing the Company's access to additional cash resources.
Further, in the event that the collateral value ratio (as defined in the Notes)
falls below certain levels required in the Notes due to a decrease in the
Company's contract revenue and the Company fails to provide sufficient
receivables in order to increase the collateral value ratio, the Company may be
forced to redeem part or all of the Notes which would result in additional
demands on the Company's cash resources. See "Risk Factors -- Termination of
Contracts/Increased Demand on Cash Flow," "Risk Factors -- Potential for
Suspension and Debarment" and "Business -- Factoring of Receivables."
Contract Profit Exposure Based on Type of Contract
The Company's Government Contract services are provided through three
types of contracts -- fixed-price, time-and-materials, and cost-reimbursement.
The Company assumes financial risk on fixed-price contracts (approximately 20%
of the Company's total Government Contracts revenue in 1995) and
time-and-material contracts (approximately 25% of its total Government Contracts
revenue in 1994), because the Company assumes the risk of performing those
contracts at the stipulated prices or negotiated hourly rates. The failure to
accurately estimate ultimate costs or to control costs during performance of the
work could result in losses or smaller than anticipated profits. The balance of
the Company's Government Contracts revenue in 1995 (approximately 55%) was
derived from cost-reimbursement contracts. To the extent that the actual costs
incurred in performing a cost-reimbursement contract are within the contract
ceiling and allowable under the terms of the contract and applicable
regulations, the Company is entitled to reimbursement of its costs plus a
stipulated profit. However, if the Company's costs exceed the ceiling or are not
allowable under the terms of the contract or applicable regulations, any excess
would be subject to adjustment and repayment upon audit by Government agencies.
See "Risk Factors -- Contract Receivables Subject to Audits by U.S. Government
Agencies" and "Business -- Government Contracting."
Contract Receivables Subject to Audits by U.S. Government Agencies
Government Contract payments received by the Company for allowable direct
and indirect costs are subject to adjustment and repayment after audit by
Government auditors if the payments exceed allowable costs as defined in such
Government Contracts. Audits have been completed on the Company's incurred
contract costs through 1986 and are continuing for subsequent periods. The
Company has included an allowance in its financial statements for excess
billings and contract losses which it believes is adequate based on its
interpretation of contracting regulations and past experience. There can be no
assurance, however, that this allowance will be adequate. See "Business --
Government Contracting."
Potential for Suspension and Debarment
As a U.S. Government contractor, the Company is subject to federal
regulations under which its right to receive future awards of new Government
Contracts, or extensions of existing Government Contracts, may be unilaterally
suspended or barred, should the Company be convicted of a crime or be indicted
based on allegations of a violation of certain specific federal statutes or
other activities. Suspensions, even if temporary, can result in the loss of
valuable contract awards for which the Company would otherwise be eligible.
While suspension and debarment actions may be limited to that division or
subsidiary of a company which is involved in the alleged improper activity which
gives rise to the suspension or debarment actions, Government agencies have
authority to impose debarment and suspension on affiliated entities which in no
way were involved in the alleged improper activity. The initiation of suspension
or debarment hearings against the Company or any of its affiliated entities
could have a material adverse impact upon the Company's business and prospects.
See "Risk Factors -- Termination of Contracts/Increased Demand on Cash Flow,"
"Risk Factors -- Inability to Maintain Certain Ratios Under the Contract
Receivable Collateralized Notes" and "Business -- Government Contracting."
Future Revenues Dependent on Funding of Backlog
Much of the Company's future revenue is dependent upon the eventual
funding of its currently unfunded backlog. The Company's backlog of
business was $2.9 billion at December 31, 1995. To the extent that this
backlog is not funded, the Company will not realize revenue on the estimated
value of its outstanding contracts. See "Business -- Backlog."
Potential Environmental Liability
The Company's business activities occasionally result in the generation of
non-nuclear hazardous wastes, the hauling and disposal of which are governed by
federal, state, and local environmental compliance statutes and regulations. In
addition, certain of the Company's businesses operate petroleum storage and
other facilities that are subject to similar regulations. Violations of these
laws can result in significant fines and penalties for which insurance is not
reasonably available. Moreover, because many of the Company's operations involve
the management of storage and other facilities owned by others, primarily
governmental entities, the Company is not always in a position to control the
compliance of the facilities it operates with environmental and other laws. See
"Business -- Environmental Matters."
Dilution
Because the net tangible book value per share of the Common Stock after
the Offering will be ($15.30), which is substantially less than the offering
price of $15.00, purchasers of Common Stock in the Offering will realize
immediate and substantial dilution of $32.09 per share or $24.22 per share
assuming the conversion of all outstanding and issuable warrants. See
"Dilution."
Potential for Adverse Judgments in Legal Proceedings
The Company is a party to various civil lawsuits which have arisen in
the course of its business. In addition, a former subsidiary of the Company
which was acquired in 1974 was, as of March 1, 1996, named as one of many
defendants in approximately 3,000 civil law suits which have been filed in
various state courts beginning in 1986. The alleged claims arise out of the
subsidiary's installation and distribution of industrial insulation products
which contained asbestos. See "Legal Matters."
No Payment of Cash Dividends
The Company has not paid a cash dividend since 1986. The Company does
not have a policy for the payment of regular dividends. The payment of dividends
in the future will be subject to the discretion of the Board of Directors of the
Company. The holder of the Class C Preferred also has the right to approve or
disapprove proposed dividend payments and any proposed dividend payments may be
subject to restrictions imposed by financing arrangements, if any, and by legal
and regulatory restrictions. See "Dividend Policy," "Risk Factors -- Class C
Preferred Stockholder's Ability to Veto Certain Corporate Actions" and
"Description of Capital Stock -- Class C Preferred Stock."
Risks Inherent in International Operations
The Company from time to time conducts some operations outside of the
United States. Such international operations entail additional business risks
and complexities such as foreign currency exchange fluctuations, different
taxation methods, restrictions on financial and business practices and political
instability. Each of these factors could have an adverse impact on operating
results. There can be no assurance that the Company can achieve or maintain
success in these markets. See "Business -- International Operations."
Competition
The markets which the Company services are highly competitive. Some of the
Company's competitors are large, diversified firms with substantially greater
financial resources and larger technical staffs than the Company has available
to it. Government agencies also compete with and are potential competitors of
the Company because they can utilize their internal resources to perform certain
types of services that might otherwise be performed by the Company. See
"Business -- Competition."
Participants in Employee Stock Ownership Plan Maintain Substantial Shareholdings
in the Company
In September 1988, the Company established its Employee Stock Ownership
Plan (the "ESOP") as a principal retirement vehicle for the Company's employees.
As of the date of this Prospectus, the ESOP owns approximately 76% of the
outstanding Common Stock, and approximately 48% of the Common Stock on a fully
diluted basis assuming conversion of all Class C Preferred Stock and exercise of
all outstanding options and warrants. Under the terms of the ESOP, each
participant has the right to instruct the ESOP trustee as to how to vote his or
her shares. The ESOP trustee will vote all unallocated shares (shares for which
no voting instructions have been received) in the same proportion as the
allocated shares. Collectively, the ESOP participants maintain substantial
shareholdings and may influence Company policy. See "Risk Factors -- Parties to
Shareholders Agreement Effectively Control Appointments to the Board of
Directors" and "Employee Benefit Plans -- Employee Stock Ownership Plan."
Absence of a Public Market
There is no present public market for the Common Stock, and it is not
currently anticipated that such a market will develop in the future. There can
be no assurance that the purchasers of Common Stock in this Offering will be
able to resell their shares through the Internal Market should they decide to do
so. To the extent that the Internal Market does not provide sufficient liquidity
for a shareholder, and the shareholder is otherwise unable to locate a buyer for
his or her shares, the shareholder could effectively be subject to a total loss
of investment. Accordingly, the purchase of Common Stock is suitable only for
persons who have no need for liquidity in this investment and who can afford a
total loss of investment. See "Market Information -- The Internal Market."
All Shares of Stock Issued in Connection with the Internal Market are Subject
to the Company's Right of First Refusal
All shares of Common Stock offered hereby will be subject to the
Company's right of first refusal to purchase such shares before they may be
offered to third parties (other than on the Internal Market). Shares of Common
Stock purchased on the Internal Market will be subject to contractual transfer
restrictions having the same effect as those contained in the By-Laws. See
"Description of Capital Stock -- Restrictions on Common Stock."
Offering Price Determined by Formula Not Market Forces
The offering price is, and subsequent offering prices will be,
determined by means of a formula as set forth on the cover page of this
Prospectus. The formula takes into consideration the Company's financial
performance, the market valuation of comparable companies and the limited
liquidity of the Common Stock, as determined by the Board of Directors based on
an independent appraisal. The Formula is subject to change by the Board of
Directors in its sole discretion. See "Market Information -- Determination of
Offering Price" and "Market Information -- Price Range of Common Stock."
Class C Preferred Stockholder's Ability to Veto Certain Corporate Actions
The Company has outstanding 123,711 shares of Class C Preferred Stock,
par value $0.10 per share (the "Class C Preferred"), all of which is owned by
Capricorn Investors, L.P. ("Capricorn"), a limited partnership in which a
company controlled by H. S. Winokur, Jr., the Company's Chairman, serves as
general partner. The holder of Class C Preferred shares has the right to vote as
a separate class on certain major corporate actions, such as corporate
borrowings, issuance of stock, payment of dividends and the repurchase of more
than $250,000 per annum of shares of Common Stock held by employees of the
Company (other than shares of Common Stock distributed to retiring or terminated
employees by the ESOP). These voting rights give the holder of Class C Preferred
the ability to effectively control the Company with respect to certain major
corporate decisions. Consequently, actions that might otherwise be approved by a
majority of the holders of Common Stock could be vetoed by the holder of Class C
Preferred. See "Description of Capital Stock -- Class C Preferred Stock."
Parties to Stockholders Agreement Effectively Control Appointments to the
Board of Directors
Certain individuals in the management group of the Company, Capricorn and
other outside investors who hold shares of Common Stock are parties to a
Stockholders Agreement originally dated March 11, 1988 and restated March 11,
1994 (the "Stockholders Agreement"). Under the terms of the Stockholders
Agreement, stockholders who own approximately 51% of the fully diluted
outstanding shares of Common Stock have agreed, among other things, to vote for
the election of a Board of Directors consisting of four management group
nominees, four Capricorn nominees and a joint nominee who would be elected if
needed to break a tie vote. Since the management group stockholders, directly
and through ESOP shareholdings, and Capricorn represent a majority of the shares
of Common Stock necessary to elect the Company's Board of Directors on a fully
diluted basis, it is unlikely that other stockholders acting in concert or
otherwise will be able to change the composition of the Board of Directors.
Unless extended, the Stockholder's Agreement expires on March 10, 1999. See
"Description of Capital Stock -- Stockholders Agreement."
The Company may be Obligated to Repurchase Shares of Certain ESOP Participants
In the event that an employee participating in the ESOP is terminated,
retires, dies or becomes disabled while employed by the Company, the Company is
obligated to repurchase shares of Common Stock distributed to such former
employee under the ESOP, until such time as the Common Stock becomes "Readily
Tradable Stock," as defined in the ESOP plan documents. In the event the
valuation of shares, as determined in accordance with the ESOP plan (the "ESOP
Share Price") is less than $27.00 per share, the Company is committed through
December 31, 1996, to pay up to an aggregate of $16,000,000, the difference
("Premium") between the ESOP Share Price and $27.00 per share. As of December
31, 1995, the Company had paid a total of $5,400,000 of the $16,000,000 to such
former employees. To the extent that the Company repurchases shares as described
above, its ability to purchase shares on the Internal Market will be adversely
affected. See "Employee Benefit Plans -- Employee Stock Ownership Plan."
Anti-Takeover Effects
The combined effects of management's and Capricorn's collective ownership
of a majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, the voting rights of
the Class C Preferred, the voting provisions of the Stockholders Agreement, and
the Company's right of first refusal may discourage, delay, or prevent attempts
to acquire control of the Company that are not negotiated with the Company's
Board of Directors. These may, individually or collectively, have the effect of
discouraging takeover attempts that some stockholders might deem to be in their
best interests, including tender offers in which stockholders might receive a
premium for their shares over the Formula Price available on the Internal
Market, as well as making it more difficult for individual stockholders or a
group of stockholders to elect directors. See "Description of Capital Stock."
Possible Sale or Merger of the Company
The Company has engaged Bear Stearns & Co. Inc., an investment banking
firm, to analyze the Company and its businesses with a view to determining the
potential value of the Company to a third-party purchaser. Under the engagement,
the Board of Directors has the option to authorize Bear Stearns to discuss the
possible acquisition of the Company or portions of the Company with third-party
potential buyers. It is possible that the Board of Directors will authorize such
discussions, although no specific buyer or proposal has been identified to or by
the Company. In the event a transaction involving the sale or merger of the
Company is approved by the Board of Directors, the value of the Company's Common
Stock in such a transaction could be greater than or less than the Formula Price
for shares sold on the Internal Market. See "Recent Developments - Possible Sale
or Merger of the Company" and or Merger of the Company" and Risk Factors -
Anti-Takover Effects."
SECURITIES OFFERED BY THIS PROSPECTUS
Common Stock Offered by the Company
The shares of Common Stock offered by the Company may be offered through
the Internal Market and directly or contingently to present and future employees
and directors of the Company and to trustees or agents for the benefit of
employees under the Company's employee benefit plans described below.
Direct and Contingent Sales to Employees and Directors
The Company believes that its success is dependent upon the abilities of
its employees and directors. Therefore, since 1988, the Company has pursued a
policy of offering such persons an opportunity to make an equity investment in
the Company as an inducement to such persons to become or remain employed by or
affiliated with the Company. At the discretion of the Board of Directors or the
Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the "Compensation Committee"),
employees and directors may be offered an opportunity to purchase a specified
number of shares of Common Stock offered hereby. All such direct and contingent
sales to employees and directors will be effected through the Internal Market or
the employee benefit plans described below, and may be attributable to the
Company. Pursuant to the By-Laws, all shares of Common Stock offered by the
Company after May 11, 1995, directly or contingently, to its employees or
directors and all shares of Common Stock purchased on the Internal Market are
subject to a right of first refusal. See "Description of Capital Stock --
Restrictions on Common Stock."
Equity Target Ownership Policy
The Company has adopted an Equity Target Ownership Policy (the "ETOP")
under which certain highly paid employees of the Company are encouraged over a
period of seven years to invest up to specified multiples of their annual
salaries in shares of the Common Stock. Under the ETOP, corporate officers,
presidents and vice presidents of strategic business units, and other
participants in the Executive Incentive Plan with salaries greater than $99,999
but less than $200,000 are encouraged to invest at least 1.5 times their salary
in shares of Common Stock; those with salaries greater than $199,999 but less
than $300,000 are encouraged to invest at least two times their salary in shares
of Common Stock; and those with salaries greater than $299,999 are encouraged to
invest at least three times their salary in shares of Common Stock. Investments
under any of the employee benefit plans described below, as well as any other
holdings, including securities held prior to adoption of the ETOP, will qualify
for purposes of the ETOP.
Savings and Retirement Plan
The Company maintains a Savings and Retirement Plan (the "SARP"), which
is intended to be qualified under Sections 401(a) and (k) of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). Generally, all employees are
eligible to participate, except for employees of divisions or other units
designated as ineligible. The SARP permits a participant to elect to defer, for
federal income tax purposes, a portion of his or her annual compensation and to
have such amount contributed directly by the Company to the deferred fund of the
SARP for his or her benefit. The Company may, but is not obligated to, make a
matching contribution to the SARP's deferred fund for the benefit of those
participants who have elected to defer a portion of their compensation for
investment in shares of Common Stock. The amount of the matching contribution
will be determined periodically by the Company's Board of Directors based on the
aggregate amounts deferred by participants. The SARP currently provides for a
Company matching contribution, in cash or Common Stock, of 100% of the first one
percent of compensation invested in a Company Common Stock fund by a participant
and 25% of the next four percent of compensation so invested. The Company may
also make additional contributions to the SARP deferred fund in order to comply
with Section 401(k) of the Code. Each participant will be vested at all times in
100% of his or her contributions to the deferred fund accounts. Company
contributions will vest 50% after two years of service and 100% after three
years of service. Benefits are payable to a participant within certain specified
time periods following such participant's retirement, permanent disability,
death or other termination of employment. Pursuant to the By-Laws, shares of
Common Stock distributed to a participant under the SARP will be subject to the
Company's right of first refusal. See "Employee Benefit Plans -- Savings and
Retirement Plan" and "Description of Capital Stock -- Restrictions on Common
Stock."
Employee Stock Purchase Plan
The Company has established the Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the "ESPP")
for the benefit of substantially all its employees. The ESPP provides for the
purchase of Common Stock through payroll deductions by participating employees.
The ESPP is intended to qualify under Section 423(b) of the Code. Participants
contribute 95% of the purchase price of the Common Stock, and the Company
contributes the balance in the form of cash or shares of Common Stock. Such
purchases will be made through the Internal Market. All shares purchased
pursuant to the ESPP will be credited to the participant's account promptly
following the Internal Market trade day on which they were purchased and,
pursuant to the By-Laws, will be subject to the Company's right of first
refusal. See "Employee Benefit Plans -- Employee Stock Purchase Plan" and
"Description of Capital Stock -- Restrictions on Common Stock."
1995 Stock Option Plan
Pursuant to the Company's 1995 Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan ("1995
Option Plan"), the Company may grant stock options to certain of its employees
and directors. Stock options under the 1995 Option Plan may be granted
contingent upon an employee obtaining a certain level of contract awards for the
Company within a specified period or upon the satisfaction of other performance
criteria and, in many cases, a requirement that such individual also purchase a
specified number of shares of Common Stock on the Internal Market at the Formula
Price. Pursuant to the By-Laws, all shares of Common Stock issued upon the
exercise of such stock options will be subject to the Company's right of first
refusal. See "Employee Benefit Plans -- 1995 Stock Option Plan" and "Description
of Capital Stock -- Restrictions on Common Stock."
Executive Incentive Plan
The Company maintains an Executive Incentive Plan (the "EIP"), which
provides for the payment of annual bonuses to certain officers and
management/executive employees. The Company intends to amend the Incentive Plan,
effective January 1, 1996, to provide for payment of up to 20% of the bonuses in
the form of shares of Common Stock, valued at the then current Formula Price.
Awards of shares of Common Stock will be distributed during each fiscal year.
Pursuant to the By-Laws, all shares of Common Stock awarded pursuant to the EIP
will be subject to the Company's right of first refusal. See "Employee Benefit
Plans -- Executive Incentive Plan" and "Description of Capital Stock --
Restrictions on Common Stock."
Employee Stock Ownership Plan
The Company maintains an Employee Stock Ownership Plan ("ESOP"), which
is a stock bonus plan intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code.
Generally, all employees are eligible to participate, except employees of groups
or units designated as ineligible. Interests of participants in the ESOP vest in
accordance with the vesting schedule and other vesting rules set forth in the
ESOP plan document. Benefits are allocated to a participant in shares of Common
Stock and are distributable within certain specified time periods following such
participant's retirement, permanent disability, death or other termination of
employment. Upon distribution, the participant is entitled to a statutory "put"
right at two separate times, whereby the ESOP or the Company is obligated to
purchase the shares at the ESOP Share Price. In the event the participant
declines to exercise the put right, such shares of Common Stock may be sold by
the participant on the Internal Market subject to the restrictions and
limitations of the Internal Market. The ESOP Share Price is not determined by
the Formula, and amounts paid to participants at the time of distribution may be
different from amounts paid to sellers on the Internal Market. See "Market
Information -- The Internal Market." The amount of the Company's annual
contribution to the ESOP is determined by, and within the discretion of, the
Board of Directors and may be in the form of cash, Common Stock or other
qualifying securities. Pursuant to the ESOP plan document, any shares of Common
Stock distributed out of the ESOP will be subject to a right of first refusal on
behalf of the Company. See "Employee Benefit Plans -- Employee Stock Ownership
Plan -- Distributions and Withdrawals."
Common Stock Offered by Officers, Directors, and Affiliates
Certain officers, directors, and affiliates of the Company may, from
time to time, sell up to an aggregate of 5,810,308 shares of the Common Stock
being offered hereby on the Internal Market or otherwise. 5,810,308 is the total
aggregate holdings of all officers, directors and affiliates as of the date of
this Prospectus. While the Company has registered all shares owned by its
officers, directors and affiliates on a fully diluted basis, including unvested
options, the Company does not know whether some, none, or all of such shares
will be so offered or sold. However, the Company believes that the ETOP will act
as a disincentive to the officers to sell their Common Stock during 1996 and
possibly in later years as well. The officers, directors, and affiliates will
not be treated more favorably than other stockholders participating on the
Internal Market and, like all other stockholders selling shares on the Internal
Market (other than the Company and its retirement plans), will pay Buck, the
Company's designated broker-dealer, a commission equal to two percent of the
proceeds from their sales. See "Market Information -- The Internal Market."
The following table sets forth information as of March 7, 1996, with
respect to the number of shares of Common Stock owned directly or indirectly by
each of the officers, directors, and affiliates (including shares issuable upon
the exercise of outstanding options and warrants, shares issuable upon
conversion of outstanding Class C Preferred and exercise of related warrants,
shares issuable as a result of vesting and expiration of deferrals or otherwise
under the former Restricted Stock Plan, and shares allocated to such person's
accounts under the Company's employee benefit plans), and their respective
percentages of ownership of equity on a fully diluted basis. Each of the persons
(other than Capricorn, which is an affiliate by reason of its ownership of more
than 10% of the Company's equity) is now and has, during some portion of the
past three years, been a director and/or officer of the Company. Except as
indicated below, all the shares are owned of record or beneficially. The table
also reflects the relative ownership of such persons in the event of their
individual sales of all the shares owned by them in this Offering.

MARKET INFORMATION
The Internal Market
In 1988, following a decision by the Company's Board of Directors to
consider offers for the purchase of the Company, the Company became privately
owned through a leveraged buy-out (the "LBO") involving its management group.
Public trading of the Company's common stock ceased, and the new management
installed the ESOP as the Company's principal retirement benefit. Approximately
33,500 former and present employees are now beneficial owners of the Common
Stock through the ESOP, representing approximately 76% of the shares of Common
Stock outstanding on the date of this Prospectus and approximately 48% of the
Company's Common Stock on a fully diluted basis.
Approximately 280 managers and other employees have also made direct
investments in the Company since the LBO. As a consequence of these investments
and the subsequent issuance of shares pursuant to the Company's former
Restricted Stock Plan, 1,428,144 shares of Common Stock, and 119,154 warrants to
purchase Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.25 per share (the "Warrants"),
are held by current and former management employees. In addition, the Company
accepted a subscription for 350,313 shares of Common Stock and 2,338,934
Warrants from certain private and institutional investors and Capricorn, a
limited partnership which is controlled by the Company's Chairman, Herbert S.
Winokur, Jr. Capricorn also purchased 123,711 Class C Preferred shares, which
are convertible share for share into Common Stock and into 825,981 Warrants, and
purchased 82,475 shares of Class B Preferred Stock, which the Company retired
through redemption in 1990. See "Description of Capital Stock -- Class C
Preferred Stock."
Since the LBO, the management stockholders, Capricorn and certain other
investors have relied on the Stockholders Agreement as a means of restricting
the distribution of the Company's shares of capital stock. The Stockholders
Agreement contains various provisions for the annual offering of shares of
Common Stock owned by retiring and terminated management stockholders, first to
other management stockholders, Capricorn, and certain other investors and then
to the Company as purchaser of last resort. However, the holder of Class C
Preferred shares may veto the repurchase of more than $250,000 per annum of
shares of Common Stock held by employees of the Company (other than shares of
Common Stock distributed to retiring or terminated employees by the ESOP).
On May 10, 1995, the Board of Directors, with the consent of the Class C
Preferred holder, approved the establishment of the Internal Market as a
replacement for the resale procedures set forth in the Stockholders Agreement.
The Internal Market generally permits all stockholders to sell shares
of Common Stock on four predetermined days each year (each a "Trade Date"),
subject to purchase demand. All Warrants to be sold must first be converted into
shares of Common Stock which can then be sold on the Internal Market, subject to
purchase demand.
All sales of Common Stock on the Internal Market will be made to employees and
directors of the Company who have been approved by the Compensation Committee
as being entitled to purchase Common Stock, and to the trustees of the SARP
and the ESOP and the administrator of the ESPP who may purchase shares of Common
Stock for their respective trusts and plan (collectively "Authorized Buyers").
The Compensation Committee will normally permit direct purchases in the
Internal Market only by employees who are purchasing such stock to meet the
requirements of the ETOP. Other employees will be encouraged to participate
through the various employee benefit plans. Limitations on the number of shares
which an individual may purchase may be imposed where there are more buy orders
than sell orders for a particular trade date.
The Internal Market will be established and managed by the Company's
wholly owned subsidiary, DynEx, Inc. The purchase and sale of shares on the
Internal Market will be carried out by Buck Investment Services, Inc. ("Buck"),
a registered broker-dealer, upon instructions from the respective buyers and
sellers, and individual stock ownership account records will be maintained by
Buck's affiliate, Buck Consultants, Inc. Subsequent to determination of the
applicable Formula Price for use on the next Trade Date, and at least fifteen
days prior to such trade date, Buck will advise the stockholders of record by
mail as to the amount of the Formula Price and the Trade Date, inquiring whether
such stockholders wish to sell shares on the Internal Market and advising them,
if they do so, how to deliver written sell orders and stock certificates (which
must be received by Buck at least two days prior to such Trade Date) to
facilitate such sale.
The Company may, but is not obligated to, purchase shares of Common
Stock on the Internal Market on any Trade Date, but only if and to the extent
that the number of shares offered for sale by stockholders exceeds the number of
shares sought to be purchased by Authorized Buyers, and the Company, in its
discretion, determines to make such purchases. Such purchases are also limited
by the rights and preferences of the Class C Preferred Stock as noted above. See
"Risk Factors -- Class C Preferred Stockholder's Ability to Veto Certain
Corporate Actions."
Except as provided below, in the event that the aggregate number of
shares offered for sale on the Internal Market is greater than the aggregate
number of shares sought to be purchased by Authorized Buyers and the Company,
offers to sell 500 shares or less of Common Stock or up to the first 500 shares
if more than 500 shares of Common Stock are offered by any seller will be
accepted first and offers to sell shares in excess of 500 shares of Common Stock
will then be accepted on a pro-rata basis determined by dividing the total
number of shares remaining under purchase orders by the total number of shares
remaining under sell orders. If, however, there are insufficient purchase orders
to support the primary allocation of 500 shares of Common Stock, then the
purchase orders will be allocated equally among all of the proposed sellers up
to the first 500 shares offered for sale by each seller. To the extent that the
aggregate number of shares sought to be purchased exceeds the aggregate number
of shares offered for sale, the Company may, but is not obligated to, sell
authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock on the Internal Market. All
sellers on the Internal Market (other than the Company and its retirement plans)
will pay Buck a commission equal to two percent of the proceeds from such sales.
No commission is paid by purchasers on the Internal Market. All offers and sales
of Common Stock made on the Internal Market may be attributed to the Company.
If the aggregate purchase orders exceed the number of shares available
for sale, the following prospective purchasers will have priority, in the order
listed:
1. the administrator of the Employee Stock Purchase Plan
2. the trustees of the Savings and Retirement Plan
3. individuals approved for purchases by the Compensation Committee
of the Board of Directors, on a pro rata basis
4. the trustees of the Employee Stock Ownership Plan
Pursuant to Section 1042 of the Internal Revenue Code, stockholders who
tender certain shares of Common Stock purchased by the ESOP in response to a
tender offer by the Company may be entitled to defer the payment of federal
income tax relating to the gain derived from the sale of such shares, provided
that certain conditions are met. Although the Company has not entered into a
tender offer pursuant to Section 1042 and has no current intention to do so, it
is conceivable that it may choose to do so in the future. In the event that such
a tender offer is commenced in the future, those stockholders who tender their
shares and who satisfy the other conditions of Section 1042 may, by virtue of
their being able to defer the income tax on the gain derived from the sale, in
effect, temporarily receive a higher after-tax benefit from tendering their
shares than they would receive by selling such shares on the Internal Market.
There is no public market for the Common Stock. While the Company is
initiating the Internal Market in an effort to provide liquidity to
stockholders, there can be no assurance that there will be sufficient liquidity
to permit stockholders to resell their shares on the Internal Market, or that a
regular trading market will develop or be sustained in the future. The Internal
Market will be dependent on the presence of sufficient buyers to support sell
orders that will be placed through the Internal Market. Depending on the
Company's performance, potential buyers (which would include employees and
trustees under the Company's benefit plans) may elect not to buy on the Internal
Market. Moreover, although the Company may enter the Internal Market as a buyer
of Common Stock under certain circumstances, including an excess of sell orders
over buy orders, the Company has no obligation to engage in Internal Market
transactions. Consequently, there is a risk that sell orders could be prorated
as a result of insufficient buyer demand, or that the Internal Market may not be
permitted to open because of the lack of buyers. To the extent that the Internal
Market does not provide sufficient liquidity for a shareholder and the
shareholder is otherwise unable to locate a buyer for his or her shares, the
shareholder could effectively be subject to a total loss of investment.
Accordingly, the purchase of Common Stock is suitable only for persons who have
no need for liquidity in this investment and who can afford a total loss of
investment. See "Risk Factors -- Absence of a Public Market."
Determination of Offering Price
The purchase price of the shares of Common Stock offered hereby, other than
those shares issuable upon exercise of options or awarded under the EIP, will be
determined pursuant to the formula and valuation process described below (the
"Formula Price"). The Formula Price per share of Common Stock is the product of
seven times the operating cash flow ("CF") where operating cash flow is
represented by earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization
("EBITDA") of the Company for the four fiscal quarters immediately preceding the
date on which a price revision is made and the market factor (the "Market
Factor" denoted MF), plus the non-operating assets at disposition value (net of
disposition costs)("NOA"), minus the sum of interest bearing debt adjusted to
market and other outstanding securities senior to Common Stock ("IBD") divided
by the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the date on which a price
revision is made, on a fully diluted basis assuming conversion of all Class C
Preferred Stock and exercise of all outstanding options and warrants ("ESO").
The Market Factor is a numerical factor which reflects existing securities
market conditions relevant to the valuation of such stock. The Formula Price of
the Common Stock, expressed as an equation (the "Formula"), is as follows:
Formula Price = [(CF x 7)MF + NOA - IBD] / ESO
"CF" is the earnings basis which is considered to be representative of
the future performance of the Company. The abbreviation stands for operating
cash flow, and the basic measurement used by the Company for operating cash flow
is Earnings Before Interest, Depreciation and Taxes ("EBITDA."). Each element of
EBITDA is measured according to generally accepted accounting principles
("GAAP"), but, before using those objective numbers in the formula, the Board of
Directors examines the details used in those earnings to see if any adjustments
are needed in order for the earnings number to be representative of the future
performance of the Company. Following are examples of situations where the Board
used in the Formula would be representative of expected future performance: (a)
the earnings from an acquisition made late in the year may be pro-formed for a
full year, (b) the earnings from a discontinued activity may be pro-formed out
even though the discontinued activity may not qualify as a discontinued business
under GAAP; or (c) a truly unusual expenditure or windfall profit may be pro-
formed out even though it is clearly part of GAAP earnings for the current year.
"MF" is the market factor. In the end, it is totally subjective.
Annually, the Board of Directors looks at the public market pricing for other
government service contractors which in its opinion are most comparable to the
Company. Six to eight other companies are generally considered, but there is no
set number of comparables. The pricing multiples of Net Income and of Cash Flow
for these companies are looked at on a last twelve-month basis, on a fiscal-
year basis, and, where available from analysts' reports, on a projected basis.
Since the Formula capitalizes the Company's CF at seven times, these comparables
give the Board of Directors a sense whether the public market is currently at a
higher, lower or roughly the same level as that fixed multiple. The Board of
Directors also looks at the Company's earnings trends in setting the MF, because
the stock market generally rewards an upward trend and punishes a downward
trend. On a quarterly basis, the Board of Directors will look at the Price
Earnings Multiples of its annual comparable companies to see if there are any
significant changes which might influence the Board's determination of the MF to
be used in the formula.
"NOA" are non-operating assets at disposition value (net of disposition
costs). The Company's principal non-operating asset since 1992 has been
"Restricted Cash". This is cash in its wholly owned subsidiary, Dyn Funding
Corporation ("DynFunding"), which must remain in specified short-term marketable
investments (e.g., U.S. Treasury bills) on a temporary basis, because the
Company and its other subsidiaries do not have enough eligible accounts
receivable to sell to DynFunding at any particular point in time to utilize the
full $100 million of capital of DynFunding. If the Company discontinues a
business, and the net assets of that business were recorded as Assets Held For
Sale, those assets would also be included in NOA at management's estimate of
their disposition value, net of disposition costs. (The earnings from those
assets would also be excluded from "CF" in the Formula.) If the Company had a
passive investment outside its normal operations, the earnings from that
investment would be excluded from "CF", and the lower of cost or estimated
market value would be included in "NOA". Other similar situations could give
rise to inclusion in "NOA", but an asset must be clearly non-operating to be
included.
"IBD" is interest-bearing debt and other securities senior to common
stock. Under GAAP, interest-bearing debt is to be reported net of any
unamortized discount at issuance, but in the Formula such issuance discounts are
ignored, and it is expected that the debt will be recorded at its face value. On
the other hand, if it is the intent of management in the near term to call any
portion of its long term debt, the amount used for that portion of IBD would be
at its call price. Similarly, if the debt were publicly traded at a discount,
and it was management's intent in the near term to retire debt through open
market discounted purchases, the market price would be used for that portion of
the debt in the Formula. In applying the Formula, the Board of Directors will
also look at any convertible securities and subjectively decide whether or not
it is likely that those securities will be converted. If, in the opinion of the
Board, they will be converted, such securities will be included in the fully
diluted common shares and not IBD. Preferred stock, or any similar security,
senior to the common stock in liquidation, will be considered as IBD. (At the
present time, it is the opinion of the Board of Directors that the Class C
Preferred Stock of the Company will be converted into common shares, so it is
not treated as IBD.)
"ESO" is the equivalent shares outstanding of common stock at the time
of the valuation. It assumes the exercise of all outstanding options (if no
greater than the current Formula Price), warrants, the conversion of the Class C
Preferred Stock into common shares and possibly the conversion of any other
convertible securities of which there are none at the present time.
The Formula Price including the Market Factor will be reviewed four
times each year, generally in conjunction with Board of Directors meetings,
which are generally scheduled for February, May, August and November. At such
meetings, the Market Factor will be reviewed by the Board in conjunction with an
appraisal which is prepared by an independent appraisal firm for the committee
administering the Company's Employee Stock Option Plan (the "ESOP"). The Board
of Directors believes that the valuation process results in a stock price which
reasonably reflects the value of the Company on a per share basis. See "Risk
Factors -- Offering Price Determined by Formula Not Market Forces" and "Market
Information -- Price Range of Common Stock."
The Formula was adopted in its present form by the Board of Directors
on August 15, 1995. The Formula is subject to change by the Board of Directors.
The most recent Formula Price is $15.00 per share based on a Market
Factor of 1.362, as determined at the Board of Directors meeting on May 9,
1996. The first use of the Formula Price on the Internal Market will be in
connection with determination of the Formula Price prior to the first Trade
Date. Such determination, and all subsequent determinations of the Formula
Price, will be based on financial data for the four fiscal quarters immediately
preceding the date on which a price revision is to occur. Changes in the Formula
Price will be communicated on a regular basis to stockholders and participants
in the employee benefit plans through which the employees can make investments
in Common Stock. Trade Dates are expected to occur on or about February 15, May
15, August 15, and November 15 of each year.
Price Range of Common Stock
Because the Company's Common Stock has not been publicly traded since 1988,
there has not been any historical market-determined price. However, there have
been valuations of the Common Stock made by an independent appraiser as required
by the ESOP, the Board of Directors has (based upon such valuations)
periodically determined the price of the Common Stock for purposes of offers and
sales of Common Stock made pursuant to the Stockholders Agreement, and there
have also been private share transactions based upon such determinations. The
prices of Common Stock set forth in the table below are based on these various
valuations, determinations and transactions, and (with the exception of the
price for July 1, 1995) not on the Formula Price that will be utilized for
purchases and sales of Common Stock on the Internal Market.
Effective with the commencement of the LBO in January 1988, the price was
based on a "package" consisting of one share of Common Stock plus Warrants to
purchase 6.6767 additional shares. The exercise price of the Warrants was
reduced from $5.00 per share to $0.25 per share during the period 1988 to 1993;
as each third of the outstanding balance of the initial ESOP loan was repaid,
the exercise price was reduced by $1.58.
The average price per share figures shown below for July 1, 1988 and 1989
($3.47 and $3.79, respectively) represent the weighted average of the actual
costs to the Company's employee stockholders based on a purchase price of $24.25
per unit, each unit being comprised of one share of Common Stock and Warrants to
purchase 6.6767 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.25 per share.
The average price per share figures shown below for July 1, 1990 through
July 1, 1994, reflect market values established by the Board of Directors for
purposes of sales under the former Management Employees Stock Purchase Plan and
for transactions under the Stockholders Agreement. The Board's determination was
based on its review of valuations of the Common Stock made annually by an
independent appraiser for the ESOP Trust. Prior to December 31, 1993, the
appraiser's calculation produced annually a single control share valuation,
which applied to shares allocated to ESOP participants' accounts during the
period from 1988 through 1993. This control share premium was not applicable to
shares of Common Stock outside the ESOP, and therefore such valuation was
adjusted by the Company's Chief Financial Officer in his recommendation to the
Board to apply a discount for lack of liquidity and to eliminate the control
share premium. Since December 31, 1993, the independent appraiser has also
produced annually a valuation for the shares of Common Stock not having such a
control premium, and the Board of Directors has determined market values for
purposes of the Stockholders Agreement following its review of the ESOP
valuation of Common Stock not having a control premium. The price per share for
July 1, 1995 and later dates is based upon the Formula Price.
From and after May 10, 1995, the Board of Directors has determined that the
price per share will equal the Formula Price described herein. There can be no
assurance that the Common Stock will in the future provide returns comparable to
historical returns, or that the Formula Price will provide returns similar to
those for past transactions that were based on prices other than the Formula
Price. Because the prices listed in the table below were developed under
differing valuation methods for differing purposes, they are not fully
comparable with the Formula Price.
Date Average Price % Increase
Per Share
July 1, 1988 $ 3.47 ---
July 1, 1989 $ 3.79 9.22%
July 1, 1990 $ 5.20 37.20%
July 1, 1991 $ 5.72 10.00%
July 1, 1992 $ 7.68 34.27%
July 1, 1993 $ 7.97 3.78%
July 1, 1994 $11.86 48.81%
July 1, 1995 $14.90 25.63%
February 10, 1996 $14.50 (2.68%)
May 9, 1996 $15.00 3.45%
Although the Formula is subject to change by the Board of Directors in its
sole discretion, the Board of Directors will not change the Formula unless (i)
in the good faith exercise of its fiduciary duties and after consultation with
its professional advisors, the Board of Directors, including a majority of the
directors who are not employees of the Company, determines that the Formula no
longer results in a stock price which reasonably reflects the value of the
Company on a per share basis, or (ii) a change in the Formula or the method of
valuing the Common Stock is required under applicable law.
The Company intends to disseminate the current Formula Price on at least a
quarterly basis to all employees through internal communications, including
bulletins and electronic mail messages and to other stockholders by mailed
reports, including mailed notices of upcoming Trade Dates. Participants in any
of the employee benefit plans may obtain the current Formula Price by calling
the Company's Powerline system toll-free number (1-800-956-4015), which operates
24 hours a day, seven days a week.
The Company also intends to distribute copies of its audited annual
financial statements to all stockholders, as well as other employees, and to
potential participants in the Internal Market through employee benefit plans,
either through U. S. Mail or inter-company mail. Such information is normally
distributed at the time of distribution of employee annual reports, which is
made at approximately the same time that proxy information is distributed and
solicitations are made for voting instructions from participants in the ESOP and
SARP, in April or May of each year. The Company files unaudited quarterly
financial information with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and copies of
such information are available from the Commission. See "Available
Information."
USE OF PROCEEDS
The shares of Common Stock which may be offered by the Company are
principally being offered to permit the acquisition of shares by the Company's
employee benefit plans as described herein and to permit the Company to offer
shares of Common Stock to present and future employees and directors. The
Company does not intend or expect this Offering to raise significant capital.
Any net proceeds received by the Company from the sale of the Common Stock
offered (after giving effect to the payment of expenses of the Offering) will be
added to the general funds of the Company for working capital and general
corporate purposes. Currently, the Company has no specific plans for the use of
such proceeds. It is anticipated that the majority of the sales of Common Stock
on the Internal Market will be made by stockholders rather than by the Company,
and the Company will not receive any portion of the net proceeds from the sale
of such shares (other than the 1% received by DynEx, Inc. to defray the costs of
establishing and maintaining the Internal Market).
DIVIDEND POLICY
The Company last paid a dividend in 1986, prior to the LBO. The Company
has not, since that time, paid a dividend and does not have a policy for the
payment of regular dividends. The payment of dividends in the future will be
subject to the discretion of the Board of Directors of the Company and will
depend on the Company's results of operations, financial position, and capital
requirements, general business conditions, restrictions imposed by financing
arrangements, if any, legal and regulatory restrictions on the payment of
dividends, and other factors the Board of Directors deems relevant. The holder
of the Class C Preferred also has the right to approve or disapprove proposed
dividend payments. See "Risk Factors - No Payment of Cash Dividends" and
"Description of Capital Stock -- Class C Preferred Stock."
DILUTION
The tangible book value of the Company on December 31, 1995 was a
negative figure of $160,721,000 or ($455.20) per share. Tangible book value per
share represents the amount of total tangible assets less total liabilities and
Redeemable Common Stock, divided by 353,078 shares of Common Stock outstanding
(excluding Redeemable Common Stock). Total Common Stock outstanding at December
31, 1995 was 8,195,598 shares including Redeemable Common Stock. As the
following table demonstrates, after giving effect to the sale of 4,722,366
shares of Common Stock by the Company in the Offering at a Formula Price of
$15.00 per share, and after deducting anticipated expenses, the pro forma book
value of the Company on December 31, 1995, would have been a negative
$97,082,000 or ($20.96) per share, representing an immediate $35.96 per share
(or 140%) dilution to new investors purchasing shares of Common Stock at the
Formula Price.
Formula Price per share $15.00
Net tangible book value per share ($455.20)
before the Offering
Increase per share attributable $476.16
to new investors
Pro forma net tangible book value
per share after the Offering ($20.96)
Dilution per share to new investors $35.96
Dilution is determined by subtracting pro forma book value per share
after giving effect to the Offering from the Formula Price paid by a new
investor for a share of Common Stock. The foregoing calculation assumes no
additional exercises of the outstanding warrants to purchase shares of Common
Stock. As of December 31, 1995 there were outstanding warrants to purchase
4,322,449 million shares of Common Stock at a warrant exercise price of $0.25
per share. If all the warrants outstanding and warrants issuable upon conversion
of the Class C Preferred as of December 31, 1995, were to be immediately
converted to Common Stock, dilution per share to new investors would be $25.84
per share (or 73%).
SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA
The following table presents summary selected historical financial data
derived from the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company, which have
been audited by Arthur Andersen LLP for each of the five years. During the
periods presented, the Company paid no cash dividends on its Common Stock. The

</TABLE>
BUSINESS
Overview
The Company provides diversified management, technical, and professional
services to government and commercial customers throughout the United States and
internationally. The Company provides primarily information technology,
operations and maintenance, and research and development support services under
contracts with U.S. Government agencies, foreign government agencies and
commercial customers. The Company's U.S. Government customers include the
Department of Defense (the "DoD"), the National Aeronautics and Space
Administration ("NASA"), the Department of State, the Department of Energy (the
"DOE"), the Environmental Protection Agency (the "EPA"), the Centers for Disease
Control, the U.S. Postal Service and other U.S. Government agencies. Sales
generated from services provided to the DoD and the U.S. Government in the
aggregate, represented 55% and 96% of total sales, respectively, in 1995. Total
sales, earnings before extraordinary item, interest, taxes, depreciation and
amortization, and net earnings for the Company in 1995 were $908.7 million,
$21.6 million and $2.4 million, respectively.
During the second quarter of 1995, the Company's Board of Directors
determined that it would be in the Company's best interest to discontinue its
commercial aviation business operations (the "Commercial Aviation Business"),
which provided about 20% of the Company's revenues in fiscal year 1994. This
decision was made as a result of several factors including: (i) the Company's
need for cash to reduce its debt, (ii) the capital intensive nature of the
Commercial Aviation Business, (iii) the continual losses of the unit of the
Commercial Aviation Business responsible for aircraft maintenance and repair
operations (the "Aircraft Maintenance Unit") and (iv) a high level of interest
from potential buyers. On June 30, 1995, the Company sold the Aircraft
Maintenance Unit in a $13.7 million cash transaction with Sabreliner
Corporation. On August 31, 1995, the Company divested that portion of the
Commercial Aviation Business comprising its aviation ground handling business,
including DynAir Services, Inc. and its affiliates (the "Ground Handling Unit"),
in a $122 million (subject to adjustment) cash transaction with ALPHA Airports
Group Plc. The proceeds from the two aforementioned transactions have been used
to retire all of the Company's 16% Pay-In-Kind debentures and satisfy existing
equipment financing obligations of the Ground Handling Unit. See "Business --
Commercial Aviation" and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations."
The Company's strategy has been to grow internally, increasing business
through strong marketing and business development efforts, as well as through an
aggressive strategic acquisition program. The Company provides services through
three primary business areas. The composition and market niches, including the
total contract price of certain significant contracts, of the business areas are
described below. While the contract descriptions provided below may refer to
contract terms in excess of one year, such contracts are normally one-year
contracts which may be extended at the customer's option for additional one-year
periods up to the number of years indicated. Except as otherwise identified,
contract amounts set forth herein represent aggregate anticipated gross revenues
over the life of such contract, assuming exercise of all option years. Amounts
include both prior periods and the remaining life of the contract. See "Risk
Factors -- Dependence on and Risks Inherent in U.S. Government Contracts" and
"Business -- Government Contracting."
Aerospace Technology
This organization consists of one of the Company's oldest businesses --
Aerospace Operations -- first started by the Company in 1951. It includes
military aviation maintenance and aerospace engineering operations in Texas,
various military bases and locations where Government aircraft are maintained,
and certain locations overseas in support of the North Atlantic Treaty
Organization ("NATO") and the United Nations. Revenues for 1995, 1994, and 1993
were $319.3 million, $300.9 million and $327.3 million, respectively.
$508 million Contract Field Teams - This is the Company's
second oldest contract, first awarded by the U.S. Air
Force in 1951. Under this contract, which has been
retained by the Company through successive recompetitions
(the last of which was in 1993 for a five-year renewal),
the Company furnishes between 1,500 and 2,500 aviation
technicians who are available on short notice to travel
anywhere in the world to service and modify U.S.
military aircraft.
$407 million Fort Rucker Helicopter Support - First awarded to
the Company in 1988, this contract involving 1,400
employees was renewed in 1993 for an additional five-year
period. The Company maintains over 600 rotary-wing
aircraft which are operated 24 hours a day to support Army
pilot training activities.
$111 million Aerotherm - The Aerotherm subsidiary of Aerospace
Technology is a test and evaluation contractor with
expertise in space vehicle reentry technology. It also
builds test vehicles for the U.S. Air Force Ballistic
Missile Office and operates a high energy laser testing
facility for the Army. Aerotherm performs most of its work
under five major long-term contracts and numerous
subcontracts of various durations.
$98 million International Narcotics Matters Support - Under this
contract first awarded in 1991, the Company operates
and supports a dedicated air wing of the Department
of State's drug interdiction program in Central and
South America. The program is based in Florida and
employs over 120 pilots, engineers, and technical
support and advisory personnel.
$97 million Johnson Space Center Support - This NASA aircraft
maintenance support contract was won by the Company in
January of 1994. A total of 200 Company technicians
and support personnel maintain NASA aircraft used in
launch activities.
$84 million III Corps and Fort Hood Combined Aircraft Maintenance
Program - More than 500 Company personnel support the
U.S. Army and U.S. Army Reserve units in a ten-state
region in maintaining 1,200 rotary wing aircraft and
related ground support equipment. Under the contract,
which extends through 1999, the Company provides line
maintenance support, limited depot level repairs,
maintenance work order installations and maintenance test
flight operations.
$76 million Patuxent River Research & Development Center -
This is a Navy contract first awarded to the Company
in 1985 and re-won in 1991 for an additional five-year
term. Approximately 225 employees provide test and
systems operations support in connection with test
launches.
$50 million Contingency Support - Under a five-year contract
awarded in February, 1996, a joint venture between the
Company (50%) and Brown & Root (50%) will provide
operations, logistical, and other support to the
U.S. Army in the Caribbean and Central and South American
regions.
$39 million Mission Field Teams - Under several contracts with the
Department of State and the United Nations, Aerospace
Technology furnishes logistical and other support
services in connection with international peace keeping
activities world-wide. Recent operations have been in
Haiti, Bolivia, the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, and
the former Yugoslavia.
Other Business Aerospace Technology has recently acquired
exclusive application rights in North and South America to
Australian-developed technology for the application of
composite patches to aircraft surfaces and structural
members. The utilization of this process where appropriate
avoids the costly alternative of replacing and rebuilding
metal surfaces and support members. Aerospace Technology
recently completed repairs of C-141 aircraft for the U.S.
Air Force using the composite repair technology. A
prototype repair has also been made to a C-5A Starlifter
aircraft. The Company believes that there is a significant
market for composite repair of military and commercial
aircraft surfaces and supporting structures.
Enterprise Management
This organization consists primarily of the former Support Services
Division of the Company which was started in 1987 and the range operations and
test and evaluation activities and contracts of the former Test & Evaluation
Division of the Company. Its basic markets include management of test ranges,
military and other governmental facilities, management of commercial enterprises
and facilities, health and healthcare-related support services, and the
operation and management of multi-location service contracts, such as the U.S.
Department of Justice Asset Forfeiture Program involving over 300 offices
throughout the United States.
It includes the operation, maintenance, and management of major
governmental and private enterprises and installations, ranging from the
turn-key responsibility for operation of all aspects of a single base (such as a
military installation) to assumption of responsibility for the staffing of
particular functions at various locations for a single customer. Disciplines
included within operational responsibility vary, but generally include
scientific support, operation of sophisticated electronic and mechanical
systems, grounds and buildings, environmental systems, security systems,
industrial hygiene, transportation systems, construction and demolition,
environmental remediation, and the handling of and accountability for
inventories of equipment and materials/supplies and other property. Activities
include testing and evaluation of military hardware systems at government test
ranges, collection and processing of data, maintenance of targets, ranges and
laboratory facilities, health education, health surveillance, clinical
laboratory services, developmental testing of complex weapons systems, security
systems work, and technology transfer into commercial applications. Revenues for
1995, 1994, and 1993 were $318.3 million, $325.6 million and $312.0 million,
respectively.

Other Business Information and Communications Technology
Performs approximately $20 million per annum of
systems networking contracts inherited from its 1993
acquisition of NMI Systems, Inc. Commercial and
governmental customers are served.
Commercial Aviation
During the second quarter of 1995, the Company's Board of Directors
determined that it would be in the Company's best interest to discontinue the
Commercial Aviation Business, which provided about 20% of the Company's revenues
in fiscal year 1994. This decision was made as a result of several factors
including: (i) the Company's need for cash to reduce its debt, (ii) the capital
intensive nature of the Commercial Aviation Business, (iii) the continual losses
of the Aircraft Maintenance Unit and (iv) a high level of interest from
potential buyers.
The Aircraft Maintenance Unit included the Company's DynAir Tech
subsidiaries in Arizona (acquired in 1987), Florida (acquired in 1969), and
Texas. The Aircraft Maintenance Unit performed maintenance checks, component
overhauls, heavy structural maintenance, airframe and systems maintenance and
modification of a wide variety of passenger and cargo aircraft. The Aircraft
Maintenance Unit was sold on June 30, 1995, for $13.7 million. In addition, the
Company may receive additional payments based on future revenues of the Aircraft
Maintenance Unit.
The aviation ground handling business was conducted through the
Company's wholly owned subsidiaries, DynCorp Aviation Services, Inc., DynAir
Fueling Inc., and DynAir Services Inc., formerly Servair Inc., which was
acquired by the Company in 1971 (collectively, the "Ground Handling Unit"). The
Ground Handling Unit provided a wide range of ground handling services at
approximately 80 airports, ranging from line maintenance and fueling to cleaning
and baggage handling. The Ground Handling Unit was sold on August 31, 1995, for
$122 million, which price is subject to adjustment based on balance sheet
figures to be established after closing.
Government Contracting
The Company derived 96% of its revenues in 1995 from Government
Contracts, and 55% of its total revenues in 1995 were derived from Government
Contracts with the DoD. Typically, a Government Contract has an initial term of
one year combined with two, three, or four one-year renewal periods, exercisable
at the discretion of the Government. The Government is not obligated to exercise
its option to renew a Government Contract. At the time of completion of a
Government Contract, the contract in its entirety is "recompeted" against all
interested third-party providers. Approximately 80% of the Company's Government
Contracts business is from contracts that have an aggregate initial term
(including renewal periods) of five years or more. Federal law permits the
Government to terminate a contract at any time if such termination is deemed to
be in the Government's best interest. The Government's failure to renew, or the
early termination of, any significant portion of the Company's Government
Contracts could adversely affect the Company's business and prospects. In
addition, the fact that Government Contracts may be terminated without renewal
prior to the stated maturity of the Contract Receivable Collateralized Notes
previously issued by the Company to its wholly owned financing subsidiary, Dyn
Funding Corporation, may result in demands on the Company's available cash as
the Company endeavors to replace the terminated contracts underlying the
Contract Receivable Collateralized Notes. See "Risk Factors -- Dependence on and
Risks Inherent in Government Contracts " and "Risk Factors -- Termination of
Contracts/Increased Demand on Cash Flow."
Contracts with the U.S. Government and its prime contractors usually
contain standard provisions for termination at the convenience of the Government
or such prime contractors, pursuant to which the Company is generally entitled
to recover costs incurred, settlement expenses, and profit on work completed
prior to termination. There can be no assurance that terminations will not
occur, and such terminations could adversely affect the Company's business and
prospects. The Company's Government Contracts do not provide for renegotiation
of profits. See "Risk Factors -- Dependence on and Risks Inherent in Government
Contracts."
Continuation and renewal of the Company's existing Government Contracts
and the acquisition by the Company of additional Government Contracts is
contingent upon, among other things, the availability of adequate funding for
various U.S. Government agencies. The current world political situation and
domestic pressure to reduce the federal budget deficit have reduced, and may
continue to reduce, military and other spending by the U.S. Government. The
precise effect of these political developments on the Company's business and
prospects cannot be predicted. Such budget reductions and/or changes in
governmental policies might increase somewhat the nature and amount of work
contracted out by Government agencies to businesses such as the Company, but
they might also limit future revenue opportunities for the Company with respect
to U.S. Government Contracts. See "Risk Factors -- Dependence on and Risks
Inherent in Government Contracts."
The Company's Government Contract services are provided through three
types of contracts -- fixed-price, time-and-materials, and cost-reimbursement.
The Company assumes financial risk on fixed-price contracts (approximately 20%
of the Company's total Government Contracts revenue in 1995) and
time-and-material contracts (approximately 25% of its total Government Contracts
revenue in 1995), because the Company assumes the risk of performing those
contracts at the stipulated prices or negotiated hourly rates. The failure to
accurately estimate ultimate costs or to control costs during performance of the
work could result in losses or smaller than anticipated profits. The balance of
the Company's Government Contracts revenue in 1995 (approximately 55%) was
derived from cost-reimbursement contracts. To the extent that the actual costs
incurred in performing a cost-reimbursement contract are within the contract
ceiling and allowable under the terms of the contract and applicable
regulations, the Company is entitled to reimbursement of its costs plus a
stipulated profit. However, if the Company's costs exceed the ceiling or are not
allowable under the terms of the contract or applicable regulations, any excess
would be subject to adjustment and repayment upon audit by Government agencies.
See "Risk Factors -- Contract Profit Exposure Based on Type of Contract."
Government Contract payments received by the Company in excess of
allowable direct and indirect costs are subject to adjustment and repayment
after audit by Government auditors. Audits have been completed on the Company's
incurred contract costs through 1986 and are continuing for subsequent periods.
The Company has included an allowance in its financial statements for possible
excess billings and contract losses which it believes is adequate based on its
interpretation of contracting regulations and past experience. There can be no
assurance, however, that this allowance will be adequate. See "Risk Factors --
Contract Receivables Subject to Audits by U.S. Government Agencies."
As a U.S. Government contractor, the Company is subject to federal
regulations under which its right to receive future awards of new Government
Contracts, or extensions of existing Government Contracts, may be unilaterally
suspended or barred should the Company be convicted of a crime or be indicted
based on allegations of a violation of certain specific federal statutes or
other activities. Suspensions, even if temporary, can result in the loss of
valuable contract awards for which the Company would otherwise be eligible.
While suspension and debarment actions may be limited to that division or
subsidiary of a company which is involved in the alleged improper activity which
gives rise to the suspension or debarment actions, Government agencies have
authority to impose debarment and suspension on affiliated entities which in no
way were involved in the alleged improper activity. The initiation of suspension
or debarment hearings against the Company or any of its affiliated entities
could have a material adverse impact upon the Company's business and prospects.
See "Risk Factors -- Potential for Suspension and Debarment."
Factoring of Receivables
On January 23, 1992, the Company's wholly owned subsidiary, Dyn Funding
Corporation ("DFC"), completed a private placement of $100,000,000 of 8.54%
Contract Receivable Collateralized Notes, Series 1992-1 (the "Notes"). Upon
receiving the proceeds from the sale of the Notes, DFC purchased from the
Company an initial pool of receivables for $70,601,000, paid $1,524,000 for
expenses and deposited $3,000,000 into a reserve fund account and $24,875,000
into a collection account with Bankers Trust Company as trustee pending
additional purchases of receivables from the Company. Of the proceeds received
from DFC, the Company used $38,112,000 to pay the outstanding balances of the
ESOP loan and a revolving loan facility, and $33,280,000 was used for the
redemption of all outstanding Class A Preferred Stock plus accrued dividends
(the redemption price per share was $25.00 plus accrued dividends of $0.66 per
share).
The Notes are collateralized by the right to receive proceeds from
certain Government Contracts and certain eligible accounts receivable of
commercial customers of the Company. Credit support for the Notes is provided by
over-collateralization in the form of additional receivables. The Company
retains an interest in the excess balance of receivables through its ownership
of the common stock of DFC. Additional credit and liquidity support is provided
to the Notes through a cash reserve fund. Interest payments are made monthly
with monthly principal payments beginning February 28, 1997. The Notes are for a
term of five years and two months and are required to be fully repaid by July
30, 1997.
On an ongoing basis, the cash receipts from collection of the
receivables will be used by DFC to make interest payments on the Notes, pay a
servicing fee to the Company, and purchase additional receivables from the
Company. Beginning February 28, 1997, instead of purchasing additional
receivables, the cash receipts will be used by DFC to repay principal on the
Notes. During the non-amortization period (the period between January 23, 1992
and January 30, 1997), cash in excess of the amount required to purchase
additional receivables and meet payments on the Notes is to be paid to the
Company, subject to certain collateral coverage tests. The receivables pledged
as security for the Notes are valued at a discount from their stated value for
purposes of determining adequate credit support. DFC is required to maintain
receivables, at their discounted values, plus cash on deposit at least equal to
the outstanding balance of the Notes.
The Notes are redeemable in whole, but not in part, at the option of
DFC at a price equal to the principal amount of the Notes plus accrued interest
plus a premium (as defined in the Notes).
Upon termination of any of the Company's contracts, including
Government Contracts, the Company would no longer accrue a stream of accounts
receivable thereunder for sale to DFC, which may result in demands on the
Company's available cash as the Company endeavors to replace the terminated
contracts. The ability of the Company to maintain certain ratios under the Notes
depends in part on its ability to keep in force existing contracts and/or
acquire new contracts such that sufficient eligible receivables are available
for sale by the Company to DFC. See "Risk Factors -- Termination of
Contracts/Increased Demand on Cash Flow."
By the terms of the Notes, in the event that the interest coverage
ratio (as defined in the Notes) falls below certain prescribed levels and the
Company's principal debt exceeds certain amounts, DFC may be prohibited from
purchasing additional receivables from the Company, thereby reducing the
Company's access to additional cash resources. Further, in the event that the
collateral value ratio (as defined in the Notes) falls below certain levels
required in the Notes due to a decrease in the Company's contract revenue and
the Company fails to provide sufficient receivables in order to increase the
collateral value ratio, the Company may be forced to redeem part or all of the
Notes which would result in additional demands on the Company's cash resources.
See "Risk Factors -- Inability to Maintain Certain Ratios Under the Contract
Receivable Collateralized Notes."
Environmental Matters
The Company's business activities occasionally result in the generation
of non-nuclear hazardous wastes, the hauling and disposal of which are governed
by federal, state and local environmental compliance statutes and regulations.
In addition, certain of the Company's businesses operate petroleum storage and
other facilities that are subject to similar regulations. Violations of these
laws can result in significant fines and penalties for which insurance is not
reasonably available. Moreover, because many of its operations involve the
management of storage and other facilities owned by others, primarily
governmental entities, the Company is not always in a position to control the
compliance of the facilities it operates with environmental and other laws.
However, neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries have been named a
potentially responsible party relating to environmental liability at any sites.
There are no enforcement actions relating to environmental liability currently
in progress with respect to the Company, its subsidiaries or any of their
operations. See "Risk Factors -- Environmental Matters" and "Legal Matters."
International Operations
The Company from time to time conducts some operations outside of the
United States. Such international operations entail additional business risks
and complexities such as foreign currency exchange fluctuations, different
taxation methods, restrictions on financial and business practices and political
instability. Each of these factors could have an adverse impact on operating
results. There can be no assurance that the Company can achieve or maintain
success in these markets. See "Risk Factors -- Risks Inherent in International
Operations."
Competition
The markets which the Company services are highly competitive. In each
of its operating groups, the Company's competition is quite fragmented, with no
single competitor holding a significant market position. The Company experiences
vigorous competition from industrial firms, university laboratories, non-profit
institutions and U.S. Government agencies. Some of the Company's competitors are
large, diversified firms with substantially greater financial resources and
larger technical staffs than the Company has available to it. Government
agencies also compete with and are potential competitors of the Company because
they can utilize their internal resources to perform certain types of services
that might otherwise be performed by the Company. A majority of the Company's
revenues are derived from contracts with the U.S. Government and its prime
contractors, and such contracts are awarded on the basis of negotiations or
competitive bids where price is a significant factor. See "Risk Factors --
Competition."
Backlog
The Company's backlog of business (including estimated value of option
years on Government Contracts) was $2.9 billion at December 31, 1995, compared
to a year-end 1994 backlog of $2.0 billion. U.S. Government agencies operate
under annual fiscal appropriations by the Congress and fund various contracts on
an incremental basis. Therefore, a substantial portion of the Company's backlog
represents contracts which have not been funded by the responsible Government
agency. See "Risk Factors Future Revenues Dependent on Funding of Backlog."
Properties
The Company is primarily a service-oriented company, and, as such, the
ownership or leasing of real property is an activity which is not material to an
understanding of the Company's operations. The Company owns two office
buildings. The Company leases numerous commercial facilities used in connection
with the various services rendered to its customers, including its corporate
headquarters, a 149,000 square foot facility under a 12-year lease. None of the
properties is unique. All of the Company's owned facilities are located within
the United States. In the opinion of management, the facilities employed by the
Company are adequate for the present needs of the business.
LEGAL MATTERS
General
The Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates are involved in various
claims and lawsuits, including contract disputes and claims based on allegations
of negligence and other tortious conduct. The Company is also potentially liable
for certain personal injury, tax, environmental and contract dispute issues
related to the prior operations of divested businesses. In most cases, the
Company and its subsidiaries have denied, or believe they have a basis to deny,
liability, and in some cases have offsetting claims against the plaintiffs,
third parties or insurance carriers. The amount of possible damages currently
claimed by the various plaintiffs for these items, a portion of which is
expected to be covered by insurance, aggregate approximately $120,000,000
(including compensatory and possible punitive damages and penalties). This
amount includes estimates for claims which have been filed without specified
dollar amounts or for amounts which are in excess of recoveries customarily
associated with the stated causes of action; it does not include any estimate
for claims which may have been incurred but which have not yet been filed. The
Company has recorded such damages and penalties that are considered to be
probable recoveries against the Company or its subsidiaries. These issues are
described below. See "Risk Factors - Potential for Adverse Judgments in Legal
Proceedings."
Asbestos Claims
A former acquired subsidiary, Fuller-Austin Insulation Company (the
"Subsidiary"), which discontinued its business activities in 1986, has been
named as one of many defendants in civil lawsuits which have been filed in
various state courts beginning in 1986 (principally Texas) against
manufacturers, distributors and installers of asbestos products. The Subsidiary
was a nonmanufacturer that installed or distributed industrial insulation
products. The Subsidiary had discontinued the use of asbestos products prior to
being acquired by the Company in 1974. These claims are not part of a class
action.
The claimants generally allege injuries to their health caused by
inhalation of asbestos fibers. Many of the claimants seek punitive damages as
well as compensatory damages. The amount of damages sought is impacted by a
multitude of factors. These include the type and severity of the disease
sustained by the claimant (i.e. mesothelioma, lung cancer, other types of
cancer, asbestosis or pleural changes); the occupation of the claimant; the
duration of the claimant's exposure to asbestos-containing products; the number
and financial resources of the defendants; the jurisdiction in which the claim
is filed; the presence or absence of other possible causes of the claimant's
illness; the availability of legal defenses such as the statute of limitations;
and whether the claim was made on an individual basis or as part of a group
claim.
As of March 1, 1996, 8,630 plaintiffs have filed claims against the
Subsidiary and various other defendants. Of these claims 1,187 have been
dismissed, 1,898 have been resolved without an admission of liability at an
average cost of $5,000 per claim (excluding legal defense costs) and an
additional 2,606 claims have been settled in principle (subject to future
processing and funding) at an average cost of $1,950 per claim. Following is a
summary of claims filed against the subsidiary through March 1, 1996:
Years
Prior 1993 1994 1995 1996(1) Total
Claims filed 2,160 668 1,026 4,647 129 8,630
Claims dismissed (14) (65) (21) (1,035) (52) (1,187)
Claims resolved (76) (1,142) (333) (182) (165) (1,898)
Settlements in process (2,606)
Claims outstanding at March 1, 1996 2,939
(1) January 1 - March 1, 1996
In connection with these claims the Subsidiary's primary insurance
carriers have incurred approximately $16,300,000 (including $6,800,000 of legal
defense costs but excluding $5,100,000 for settlements in process) to defend and
settle the claims and, in addition, judgments have been entered against the
Subsidiary for jury verdicts of $6,500,000 which have not been paid and which
are under appeal by the Subsidiary. Through December 31, 1995, the Company and
the Subsidiary have charged to expense approximately $12,500,000 consisting of
$6,200,000 of charges under retrospectively rated insurance policies and
$6,300,000 of reserves for potential uninsured legal and settlement costs
related to these claims. These charges substantially eliminate any further
exposure for retrospectively determined premium payments under the
retrospectively rated insurance policies.
During 1995, the Subsidiary continued its strategy to require direct
proof that claimants had significant exposure to asbestos as the result of the
Subsidiary's operations. This has resulted in an increased level of trial
activity. The Subsidiary believes that this strategy will have the near term
effect of increasing average per-case resolution cost but will reduce the
overall cost of asbestos personal injury claims in the long run by limiting
indemnity payments only to claimants who can establish significant
asbestos-related impairment and exposure to the Subsidiary's operations and by
substantially reducing indemnity payments to individuals who are unimpaired or
who did not have significant exposure to asbestos as a result of the
Subsidiary's operations. Further, the level of filed claims has become
significant only since 1992, and therefore, the Subsidiary has a relatively
brief history (compared to manufacturers and suppliers) of claims volume and a
limited data file upon which to estimate the number or costs of claims that may
be received in the future. Also, effective September 1, 1995, the State of Texas
enacted tort reform legislation which is believed to have caused a nonrecurring
surge in the volume of filed claims in 1995 immediately prior to the effective
date of the legislation.
The Company and its defense counsel have analyzed the 8,630 claim
filings incurred through March 1, 1996. Based on this analysis and consultation
with its professional advisors, the Subsidiary has estimated its cost, including
legal defense costs, to be $20,000,000 for claims filed and still unsettled and
$40,000,000 as its minimum estimate of future costs of unasserted claims,
including legal defense costs. No upper limit of exposure can presently be
reasonably estimated. The Company cautions that these estimates are subject to
significant uncertainties including the future effect of tort reform legislation
enacted in Texas, the size of jury verdicts, success of appeals in process, the
number and financial resources of future plaintiffs, and the actions of other
defendants. Therefore, actual experience may vary significantly from such
estimates. At December 31, 1995 and 1994 (restated), the Subsidiary recorded an
estimated liability for future indemnity payments and defense costs related to
currently unsettled claims and minimum estimated future claims of $60,000,000
and $17,000,000, respectively (recorded as long-term liability).
Defense has been tendered to and accepted by the Subsidiary's primary
insurance carriers, and by certain of the Company's primary insurance carriers
that issued policies under which the Subsidiary is named as an additional
insured; however, only one such primary carrier has partially accepted defense
without a reservation of rights. The Company believes the Subsidiary has at
least $12,000,000 in unexhausted primary coverage (net of deductibles and
self-insured retentions but including disputed coverage) under its liability
insurance policies to cover the unsettled claims, verdicts and future unasserted
claims and defense costs. When the primary limits are exhausted, liability for
both indemnity and legal defense will be tendered to the excess coverage
carriers, all of which have been notified of the pendency of the asbestos
claims. The Company and the Subsidiary have approximately $490,000,000 of
additional excess and umbrella insurance that is generally responsive to
asbestos claims. This amount excludes approximately $92,000,000 of coverage
issued by insolvent carriers of which $35,000,000 is the next insurance layer
above the Company's primary coverage carrier for policy years 1979 through 1984.
All of the Company's and the Subsidiary's liability insurance policies cover
indemnity payments and defense fees and expenses subject to applicable policy
terms and conditions.
The Company and the Subsidiary have instituted litigation in Los
Angeles Superior Court, California, against their primary and excess insurance
carriers, to obtain declaratory judgments from the Court regarding the
obligations of the various carriers to defend and pay asbestos claims. The
issues in this litigation include the aggregate liability of the carriers, the
triggering and drop-down of excess coverage and allocation of losses covering
multiple carriers and insolvent carriers, and various other issues relating to
the interpretation of the policy contracts. All of the carrier defendants have
filed general denial answers in response to the Company's claims for
indemnification. Legal and insurance experts retained by the Company and the
Subsidiary have analyzed the insurance policies, the history of coverage and
insurance reimbursement for these types of claims, and the outcome of unrelated
litigation involving identical policy language and factual circumstances. The
Company is also aware of the fact that the insurance carriers have paid to date
approximately $16.3 million in asbestos legal defense and claim settlement costs
which represents 100% of such costs and which is consistent with the Company's
view of the enforceability of the policies. Moreover, a recent appellate court
decision involving insurance company liability for asbestos claims comparable to
those being asserted against the subsidiary, gives further support to the
Company's position that all carriers have a liability to indemnify the Company
and the subsidiary for asbestos claims.
Based on these analyses and observations, management believes that it
is probable that the Company and the Subsidiary will prevail in obtaining
judicial rulings confirming the availability of a substantial portion of the
coverage, assuming no additional carrier insolvencies. Currently, the Company
has remaining coverage under policies issued by solvent carriers of
approximately $502 million ($12 million in primary coverage and $490 million in
excess coverage). Based on a review of the independent ratings of these
carriers, the Company believes that a substantial portion of this coverage will
continue to be available to meet the claims. The Subsidiary recorded in other
assets $60,000,000 and $17,000,000 (not including reserves of $7,000,000 and
$2,000,000, respectively) at December 31, 1995 and 1994 (restated), respectively
representing the amounts that it expects to recover from its insurance carriers
for the payment of currently unsettled and estimated future claims. The Company
cautions, however, that even though the existence and aggregate dollar amounts
of insurance are not generally being disputed, such insurance coverage is
subject to interpretation by the Court and the timing of the availability of
insurance payments could, depending upon the outcome of the litigation and/or
negotiation, delay the receipt of insurance company payments and require the
Subsidiary to make interim payments for asbestos defense and indemnity from
reserves and insurance settlement funds created as a result of settlements with
certain of the carriers. While the Company and the Subsidiary believe that they
have recorded sufficient liability to satisfy the Subsidiary's reasonably
anticipated costs of present and future plaintiffs' suits, it is not possible to
predict the amount or timing of future suits or the future solvency of its
insurers. In the event that currently unsettled and future claims exceed the
recorded liability of $60,000,000, the Company believes that the judicially
determined and/or negotiated amounts of excess and umbrella insurance coverage
that will be available to cover additional claims will be significant; however,
it is unable to predict whether or not such amounts will be adequate to cover
all additional claims without further contribution by its Subsidiary.
General Litigation
The Company has retained certain liability in connection with its 1989
divestiture of its major electrical contracting business, Dynalectric Company
("Dynalectric"). The Company and Dynalectric were sued in 1988 in Bergen County
Superior Court, New Jersey, by a former Dynalectric joint venture
partner/subcontractor (subcontractor). The subcontractor has alleged that its
subcontract to furnish certain software and services in connection with a major
municipal traffic signalization project was improperly terminated by Dynalectric
and that Dynalectric fraudulently diverted funds due, misappropriated its trade
secrets and proprietary information, fraudulently induced it to enter the joint
venture, and conspired with other defendants to commit acts in violation of the
New Jersey Racketeering Influenced and Corrupt Organization Act. The aggregate
dollar amount of these claims has not been formally recited in the
subcontractor's complaint. Dynalectric has also filed certain counterclaims
against the former subcontractor. The Company and Dynalectric believe that they
have valid defenses, and/or that any liability would be offset by recoveries
under the counterclaims. Discovery is ongoing; no trial date has been scheduled.
The Company believes that it has established adequate reserves ($4,023,000 at
December 31, 1995) for the contemplated defense costs and for the cost of
obtaining enforcement of arbitration provisions contained in the contract.
In November, 1994, the Company acquired an information technology
business which was involved in various disputes with federal and state agencies,
including two contract default actions and a qui tam suit by a former employee
alleging improper billing of a federal government agency customer. The Company
has contractual rights to indemnification from the former owner of the acquired
subsidiary with respect to the defense of all such claims and litigation, as
well as all liability for damages when and if proven. In October, 1995, one of
the federal agencies asserted a claim against the subsidiary and gave the
Company notice that it intended to offset against the contract under which the
claim arose. To date, the agency has withheld approximately $3,300,000 allegedly
due the agency under one of the aforementioned disputes. The Company has
submitted a demand for indemnification to the former owner of the subsidiary
which has been denied. The Company has commenced arbitration of the
indemnification denial under the terms of the acquisition agreement which the
former owner is fighting in federal district court. The Company expects to
recover in full, but gives no assurances in this reguard.
Environmental Issues
As to environmental issues, neither the Company nor any of its
subsidiaries is named a potentially responsible party at any site. The Company,
however, did undertake, as part of the 1988 divestiture of a petrochemical
engineering subsidiary, an obligation to install and operate a soil and water
remediation system at a subsidiary research facility site in New Jersey. The
Company is required to pay the costs of continued operation of the remediation
system through 1996 (see Note 13 to the Financial Statements). In addition, the
Company, pursuant to the sale of the Commercial Aviation Business, is
responsible for the costs of clean-up of environmental conditions at certain
designated sites. Such costs may include the removal and subsequent replacement
of contaminated soil, concrete, tanks, etc. that existed prior to the sale of
the Commercial Aviation Business (See Note 2 to the Financial Statements).
Other Litigation
The Company is a party to other civil and contractual lawsuits which
have arisen in the normal course of business for which potential liability,
including costs of defense, which constitute the remainder of the $120,000,000
discussed above. The estimated probable liability for these issues is
approximately $10,000,000 and is substantially covered by insurance. The Company
has recorded an offsetting asset (Other Assets) and liability (long-term
liability) of $10,000,000 million at December 31, 1995 for these items. There
are no known disputes regarding availability of this insurance, and the carriers
have accepted defense and have agreed to pay any indemnity claims.
The Company has recorded its best estimate of the aggregate liability
that will result from these matters. While it is not possible to predict with
certainty the outcome of litigation and other matters discussed above, it is the
opinion of the Company's management, based in part upon opinions of counsel,
insurance in force and the facts currently known, that liabilities in excess of
those recorded, if any, arising from such matters would not have a material
adverse effect on the results of operations, consolidated financial position or
liquidity of the Company over the long-term. However, it is possible that the
timing of the resolution of individual issues could result in a significant
impact on the operating results and/or liquidity for one or more particular
future reporting periods.
The major portion of the Company's business involves contracting with
departments and agencies of, and prime contractors to, the U.S. Government, and
such contracts are subject to possible termination for the convenience of the
government and to audit and possible adjustment to give effect to unallowable
costs under cost-type contracts or to other regulatory requirements affecting
both cost-type and fixed-price contracts. In addition, the Company is
occasionally the subject of investigations by the Department of Justice and
other investigative organizations, resulting from employee and other allegations
regarding business practices. In management's opinion, there are no outstanding
issues of this nature at December 31, 1995 that will have a material adverse
effect on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations
or liquidity.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Overview
In June 1995, the Company's Board of Directors concluded that it was in
the best interests of the Company to divest its Commercial Aviation Business. On
June 30, 1995, the Company sold the stock of all its subsidiaries engaged in the
business of commercial aircraft heavy maintenance (the "Aircraft Maintenance
Unit") for $13.7 million to Sabreliner Corporation. On August 31, 1995 the
Company sold to ALPHA Airports Group Plc, all of its subsidiaries engaged in
commercial airline ground handling, passenger services, aircraft fueling,
aircraft line maintenance and cargo handling (the "Ground Handling Unit") for
$122 million (subject to adjustment). As a result of the decision to divest
itself of the entire Commercial Aviation Business, which constituted a major
class of customer, the related accounts have been classified as discontinued
operations for financial reporting purposes. See Note 2, "Discontinued
Operations" to the Consolidated Financial Statements. The following discussion
and amounts exclude the discontinued operations of the Commercial Aviation
Business unless stated otherwise.

Revenues
Revenues from continuing operations were $908.7 million in 1995
compared to $818.7 million in 1994, an increase of $90.0 million. Information
and Engineering Technology's (I&ET) revenues increased to $271.1 million from
$192.2 million in 1994, Aerospace Technology's (AT) revenues increased to $319.3
million from $300.9 million in 1994, and Enterprise Management's (EM) revenues
decreased to $318.3 million from $325.6 million in 1994. The increase in I&ET
was primarily attributable to a business acquired in October 1994 and new
contract awards; the increase in AT was primarily the result of increased level
of effort on existing contracts while new contract awards were offset
substantially by contracts lost in recompetition; the decrease in EM was the
result of contracts lost in recompetition offset partially by contracts which
were in the start-up phase in 1994 but were fully operational in 1995. Both I&ET
and EM were effected by the shutdown of the Federal Government in November and
December 31, 1995 and the subsequent furloughs resulting from the stalled
federal budget negotiations. The shutdown affected revenue by approximately
$1,000,000.
Revenues from continuing operations were $818.7 million in 1994 compared to
$777.2 million in 1993, an increase of $41.5 million. I&ET increased to $192.2
million from $137.9 million, AT decreased to $300.9 million from $327.3 million
and EM increased to $325.6 million from $312.0 million. The increase in I&ET was
primarily attributable to businesses acquired in November and December 1993 and
October 1994 ($52.5 million). AT decreased primarily as the result of the loss
of a major contract, the completion of work on a major fixed price contract and
reduced efforts on another major contract offset partially by award of a new
contract in late 1994. EM increased primarily due to award of several new
contracts, expansion of work on existing contracts and $7.0 million retroactive
adjustment on one cost reimbursable contract mandated by the Department of Labor
under the Service Contract Act. These increases were partially offset by the
loss of three contracts in recompetition.
Cost of Services/Gross Margins
Cost of services from continuing operations was 95.9% of revenue in
1995, 95.7% in 1994 and 95.5% in 1993, which resulted in gross margins of $37.3
million (4.1%), $35.6 million (4.3%) and $34.8 million (4.5%), respectively. The
1995 gross margin was adversely affected by losses of $4.4 million in connection
with the Company's efforts to further expand its Mexican operations and to
complete a contract for the design and installation of a large security system
in Mexico. These losses included such expenses as business development and
marketing expenses ($1.6 million), recognition of an estimated loss at
completion including currency devaluation losses for a security system contract
($2.1 million), severance costs associated with the reduction and realignment of
the local workforce ($0.4 million), and a reserve for closing the operation
($0.3 million). The contract loss resulted primarily from labor overruns to
install the security systems and the customer refusing to pay the contract price
in U.S. dollars as originally agreed. These problems were discovered in the
fourth quarter pursuant to management changes initiated by DynCorp Corporate
office. The contract had a total contract value of $4.7 million and is estimated
to be completed in the second quarter of 1996. The Company recorded revenues of
$0.5 million, $2.9 million and $0 and cost of services of $2.6 million, $2.6
million and $0 during 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively, for the contract.
Excluding its Mexican operations, the Company's gross margin would have been
$41.7 million, $36.6 million and $34.8 million in 1995, 1994 and 1993,
respectively. Approximately $3.1 million of costs, consisting primarily of
labor and costs to complete the contract ($2.1 million), severance costs ($0.3
million) and operations close-out costs ($0.7 million), were accrued at December
31, 1995, and are expected to be expended in 1996. The loss incurred by the
Mexican operations, along with the effect of the shutdown of the Federal
Government in November and again in December which reduced revenue by $1.0
million and gross margin by $120,000, substantially offset increased earnings
from an acquisition which was consummated in October 1994 and new contract
awards net of contract losses.
The increase in the 1994 gross margin over 1993 was attributable
primarily to acquisitions consummated in November and December, 1993 and
October, 1994, and new contract awards which were partially offset by decreases
related to lost contracts and reduced level of services on existing contracts.
Selling and Corporate Administrative
Selling and corporate administrative expenses as a percentage of
revenue was 2.1% in 1995 and 1994 and 2.3% in 1993. Even though selling and
corporate administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue remained the same
in 1995 as in 1994, the dollar amount increased $1.8 million in 1995 over 1994.
This increase is primarily attributable to increased facility costs resulting
from the sale and leaseback of the Corporate headquarters building at a cost in
excess of the previous cost of ownership. The decrease of $0.7 million in 1994
from 1993 was primarily attributable to a decrease in Restricted Stock Plan
expense due to the award of fewer shares in 1994 than in 1993.
Interest
Interest expense in 1995 was $14.9 million, virtually unchanged from
1994. However, there were different factors affecting the amount of interest
expense for these years. 1995 included the effect of the declining balance and
eventual redemption of all the 16% Junior Subordinated Debentures and the
liquidation of the mortgage on the Corporate office building, which was sold and
leased back; 1994 included nonrecurring credits resulting from the reversal of
interest accruals due to a favorable settlement with the Internal Revenue
Service of the Company's tax liability for the period 1985-1988.
Interest expense was $14.9 million in 1994, compared to $14.8 million
in 1993. Increases resulting from the compounding of the pay-in-kind interest on
the Junior Subordinated Debentures and the inclusion of a full year of interest
on mortgages assumed in conjunction with an acquisition in the fourth quarter of
1993 were offset by the reversal of interest accruals related to the Company's
tax liability, referred to previously.
Interest income was $3.8 million in 1995, up from $2.4 million in 1994.
The increase, due to greater interest yields on higher cash and short-term
investment balances, was partially offset by the collection of the 17% Cummings
Point Industries, Inc. note receivable in August, 1995.
Interest income in 1994 was approximately the same as that of 1993.
Although the interest on the Cummings Point Industries, Inc. note receivable was
higher in 1994 than 1993 because of compounding, 1993 included the recording of
prior years' interest income (and offsetting bank fee expense) on cash balances
in various operating accounts.
Other
The increase in other expense in 1995 as compared to 1994 is due to
several different factors (see Note 13 to the Consolidated Financial
Statements). In 1995, the Company recorded a charge of $5.3 million to increase
its reserve for the estimated future uninsured cost to defend and settle
asbestos claims (see Note 20(a) to the Consolidated Financial Statements). In
addition, in 1995, 1994 and 1993, the Company recorded charges of $2.4 million,
$2.7 million and $0.5 million, respectively, to increase its reserves for the
estimated costs (primarily legal defense) to resolve a lawsuit filed by a
subcontractor to a former subsidiary (see Note 20(b) to the Consolidated
Financial Statements). The determination of these reserves is subject to
numerous uncertainties and judgments which are described in Note 20(a) and (b)
and it is possible that additional reserves may be required in the future.
Other expense in 1994 as compared to 1993 contained several variances:
(i) the 1994 write-off of $3.3 million of the Company's 50.1% investment in an
unconsolidated subsidiary, (ii) accrual of legal fees and environmental costs
related to divested businesses, (iii) reversal of reserves of $1.8 million for
legal and other expenses associated with events which predated the Company's
acquisition of another business and (iv) nonrecurrence of accelerated
amortization of $1.0 million of cost in excess of net assets of an acquired
business that was determined in 1993 to be overvalued because of
misrepresentation by the sellers in respect to the level of profitability and
duration of performance of two major contracts which represented approximately
85% of the future earnings of SMC anticipated at the time of acquisition. See
Note 13, "Other Expense," to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Income Taxes
The benefit for income taxes in 1995 reflects a tax provision based on
an estimated annual effective tax rate, excluding expenses not deductible for
tax and the reversal of $7.7 million of tax valuation reserves for deferred tax
assets which are expected to be used in the 1995 tax returns. The 1994 federal
tax benefit resulted from the reversal of tax reserves for the IRS examination
and the tax benefit for operating losses net of a valuation allowance less the
federal tax provision of a majority owned subsidiary required to file a separate
return. The Federal tax provision recognized in 1993 was only that of the
majority owned subsidiary referred to previously.
Intangible Assets
Intangible assets principally consist of the excess of the acquisition
cost over the fair value of the net tangible assets of businesses acquired. In
accordance with the guidance provided in APB No. 16, the Company assesses and
allocates, to the extent possible, excess acquisition price to identifiable
intangible assets and any residual is considered goodwill. A large portion of
the intangible assets is goodwill which resulted from the 1988 LBO and merger,
accounted for as a purchase, and represents the existing technical capabilities,
customer relationships and ongoing business reputation that had been developed
over a significant period of time. The Company believes that these relationships
and the value of the Company's business reputation were and continue to be
long-term intangible assets with an almost infinite life. Since the APB No. 17
limitation is 40 years, this period is used for amortization purposes for the
majority of the goodwill. The value assigned to identifiable intangible assets
at the time of the LBO and merger in 1988 was amortized over applicable
estimated useful lives and was fully amortized as of December 31, 1994.
Working Capital and Cash Flow
Working capital at December 31, 1995 was $64.7 million compared to
$85.1 million at December, 1994, a decrease of $20.4 million. This decrease
resulted from increased Federal income tax liability (payable in March, 1996), a
decrease in net assets of discontinued operations and an offsetting increase in
restricted cash, all of which were attributable to the sale of the Commercial
Aviation Business. The ratio of current assets to current liabilities at
December 31, 1995 was 1.42 compared to 1.70 at December 31, 1994.
At December 31, 1995, $113.6 million of accounts receivable are
restricted as collateral for the Contract Receivable Collateralized Notes (the
"Notes"). Additionally, $3.0 million of cash is restricted as collateral for the
Notes and $6.2 million of cash is restricted as collateral for letters of credit
required for certain contracts, most with terms of from three to five years.
This restricted cash has been included in Other Assets on the balance sheet at
December 31, 1995. To conform with the current period presentation, restricted
cash of $3.0 million and $2.9 million representing collateral for the Notes and
letters of credit, respectively, has been reclassified to Other Assets at
December 31, 1994.
Cash provided by continuing operations was $13.8 million in 1995
compared to cash used of $1.0 million in 1994. Numerous factors contributed to
the change: (i) payment in cash of accrued interest on the 16% Subordinated
Debentures in 1995 as opposed to payment in kind in 1994, (ii) a $15.2 million
increase in earnings and (iii) a $6.9 million increase in accounts receivable.
Current liabilities increased due to the accrual of income tax liability
resulting from the gain on the sale of the Commercial Aviation Business. For the
year 1994, continuing operations used $1.0 million of cash compared to cash
provided of $6.0 million in 1993. The deterioration from 1993 to 1994 was
primarily due to an increase in accounts receivable attributable to delays and
interruptions in the usual billing and collection procedures. This decrease in
cash from operations was partially offset by increased non-cash amortization and
pay-in-kind interest as well as a reduction in net loss.
The proceeds from the sale of the Commercial Aviation Business, the
sale/leaseback of the Corporate headquarters facility and the collection of the
Cummings Point Industries, Inc. note receivable all contributed to the $139.9
million of funds provided from investing activities in 1995. For the year 1994,
investing activities used $22.2 million of cash, of which $14.3 million was used
for the acquisition of businesses and another $3.7 million was used for the
purchase of property and equipment. For the year 1993, investing activities used
$18.5 million of cash which included $10.9 million for acquisitions of
businesses and $3.6 million for the purchase of property and equipment.
The $126.9 million use of funds from financing activities in 1995
substantially consisted of the utilization of the proceeds referred to
previously to redeem $106.0 million of 16% Junior Subordinated Debentures, to
extinguish the mortgage on the Corporate headquarters, and to purchase treasury
shares. These uses were partially offset by funds provided from sale of stock to
the ESOP of $17.5 million. For the year 1994, financing activities provided cash
of $8.8 million. The sale of stock to the ESOP contributed $17.1 million of cash
of which $4.5 million was used for payments on indebtedness, and $3.2 million
was used to purchase treasury stock. For the year 1993, financing activities
provided cash of $7.8 million. Payments of $16.1 million were received on the
loan to the ESOP, $5.8 million was used for payments on indebtedness and $2.0
million was used to purchase treasury stock. The treasury stock purchases were
primarily to meet ERISA requirements to repurchase ESOP shares.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At December 31, 1995, the Company's debt totaled $105.4 million
compared to $233.4 million at December 31, 1994 and $219.1 million at December
31, 1993. The decrease in debt from December 31, 1994 to December 31, 1995
resulted from the redemption of $106.0 million of Junior Subordinated Debentures
and the liquidation of the $18.2 million mortgage on the Company's headquarters
building. The funds used for the liquidation of debt were obtained from the sale
of the Commercial Aviation Business, the sale/leaseback of the Company's
headquarters building and the collection of the Cummings Point Industries, Inc.
note receivable. The increase in debt for 1994 and 1993 resulted principally
from the pay-in-kind interest on the Junior Subordinated Debentures.
The Company had an increase in cash and short-term investments of $23.4
million from December 31, 1994 to December 31, 1995, which resulted primarily
from the aforementioned transactions. The Company had a net decrease in cash and
short-term investments of $4.0 million and $2.4 million in 1994 and 1993,
respectively. The decrease for 1994 was caused to a large degree by net
investments in acquired businesses of $14.3 million and an increase in accounts
receivable and contracts in process of $22.5 million. The latter increase was
largely attributable to a delay in finalizing the terms on a new contract and an
internal disruption in a government finance office, both of which occurred in
the fourth quarter of 1994. The Company's cash flow was favorably impacted in
1994 and 1993 through the utilization of pay-in-kind interest on the Junior
Subordinated Debentures and the sale of stock to the ESOP totaling $32.4 million
and $29.2 million, respectively. The Company paid in cash the June 29, 1995
interest payment on its 16% Junior Subordinated Debentures and on October 12,
1995, called the balance of the debentures outstanding.
On June 30, 1995, the Company sold the stock of its subsidiaries
engaged in the business of aircraft maintenance to Sabreliner Corporation for
$13.7 million in cash subject to possible additional payments based on future
business revenue of the sold subsidiaries. On August 31, 1995, the Company sold
to ALPHA Airports Group Plc, all of its subsidiaries engaged in ground handling
for $122 million in cash, subject to final adjustments based on the closing
balance sheet. The net proceeds from these transactions were in excess of the
book value of the net assets of the discontinued businesses and a gain of $1.4
million, net of income taxes, was recognized in 1995. The proceeds were used
primarily to retire DynCorp debt and satisfy existing equipment financing
obligations of the Ground Handling Unit. These two sales represented the entire
Commercial Aviation Business.
On July 25, 1995, the Company entered into a revolving credit facility
with Citicorp North America, Inc. under which the Company may borrow up to $20
million secured by specified eligible government contract receivables ($15
million) and other receivables ($5 million). The agreement requires the Company
to maintain compliance with certain covenants and will expire on the earlier of
July 23, 1996 or the refinancing of the existing $100 million Contract
Receivable Collateralized Notes. In the event that the financing facility
underlying the Contract Receivable Collateralized Notes is expanded, the Company
is required to pay down the Citicorp North America, Inc. revolving credit
facility. There were no borrowings under this line of credit at December 31,
1995. On March 14, 1996, the Company concluded an agreement with Citicorp for a
$50 million Senior Secured Revolving Credit facility which amends and restates
the aforementioned $20 million facility.
The Company agreed to contribute up to $18.0 million in cash or stock
to the ESOP to satisfy ESOP funding obligations for 1995 and a portion of 1996.
The amount of the Company's annual contribution to the ESOP is determined by,
and within the discretion of, the Board of Directors and may be in the form of
cash, Common Stock or other qualifying securities. In accordance with ERISA
requirements and the ESOP plan documents, in the event that an employee
participating in the ESOP is terminated, retires, dies or becomes disabled while
employed by the Company, the ESOP Trust or the Company is obligated to
repurchase shares of Common Stock distributed to such former employee under the
ESOP, until such time as the Common Stock becomes "Readily Tradable Stock," as
defined in the ESOP plan documents. (See Note 7 to the Consolidated Financial
Statements.) Through December 31, 1996, the Company will be obligated to pay the
higher of $27.00 per share or the fair market value at the time of repurchase
for any such shares. In the event the fair market value of a share is less than
$27.00, the Company is committed to pay through December 31, 1996, up to an
aggregate of $16.0 million, the difference ("Premium") between the fair market
value and $27.00 per share. As of December 31, 1995, the Company had paid a
total of $5.4 million of the premium to such former employees. As of
March 31, 1996, the ESOP Share Price was determined to be $18.90 per share
(for shares with a control premium) for shares allocated in the years 1988
through 1993, and $15.00 per share (for shares without a control premium) for
shares allocated in 1994 and 1995. The Company estimates an aggregate annual
commitment to repurchase shares from the ESOP participants as follows: $3.9
million in 1996, $2.8 million in 1997, $5.5 million in 1998, $6.0 million in
1999, $6.6 million in 2000 and $78.2 million thereafter.
The Company is involved in various claims and lawsuits, including
contract disputes and claims based on allegations of negligence and other
tortious conduct. The Company is also potentially liable for certain
environmental, personal injury, tax and contract dispute issues related to the
prior operations of divested businesses. In most cases, the Company has denied,
or believes it has a basis to deny liability, and in some cases has offsetting
claims against the plaintiffs, third parties or insurance carriers. The
aggregate amount of possible damages currently claimed by the various
plaintiffs, a portion of which is expected to be covered by insurance, is
approximately $120 million. The Company has estimated additional costs for
unasserted claims relating to these matters to be $40 million. The Company
has recorded $81.1 million at December 31, 1995, representing its best estimate
of the minimum probable
liability that will result from these matters. While it is not possible to
predict with certainty the outcome of the litigation and other matters mentioned
above, it is the opinion of the Company's management, based in part upon
opinions of counsel, insurance in force and the facts presently known, that
liabilities in excess of those recorded, if any, arising from such matters would
not have a material adverse effect on the results of operations, consolidated
financial position or liquidity of the Company over the long-term. However, it
is possible that the timing of the resolution of individual issues could result
in a significant impact on the operating results and/or liquidity for an
individual future reporting period. (See Note 20 to the Consolidated Financial
Statements.)
At December 31, 1995, the Company had $105.4 million of debt remaining
of which $100 million (Contract Receivable Collateralized Notes, Series 1992-1)
becomes payable beginning in February, 1997. Additionally, the Company's income
tax liability for 1995, including the provision recorded as a result of the sale
of the Commercial Aviation Business is payable in March, 1996 and is estimated
to be approximately $12.0 million. Assuming improved cash flow from the
Company's continuing operations, the potential expansion of the financing
facility underlying the Contract Receivable Collateralized Notes and the
continuation of other programs which have been initiated to improve operations
and cash flows, management believes the Company will be able to meet its debt
obligations and working capital requirements. In addition, subject to covenants
in the amended Revolving Credit facility, the Company expects to make cash
contributions to the ESOP in 1996 to enable the ESOP to purchase shares directly
from other shareholders.
The Company's primary source of cash and cash equivalents is from
operations. The Company's principal customer is the U.S. Government. This
provides for a dependable flow of cash from the collection of its accounts
receivable. Additionally, many of the contracts with the U.S. Government provide
for progress billings based on costs incurred. These progress billings reduce
the amount of cash that would otherwise be required during the performance of
these contracts.
Although the Company has made some progress toward diversification into
non-defense business activities, the Company's largest single customer continues
to be the Department of Defense (55% of revenue in 1995). Due to the procurement
cycles of its customers (generally three to five years), the Company's revenues
and margins are subject to continual recompetition. In a typical annual cycle
approximately 20% to 30% of the Company's business will be recompeted and the
Company will bid on several new contracts. Existing contracts can be lost or
rewon at lower margins at any time and new contracts can be won. The net outcome
of this bidding process, which in any one year can have a dramatic impact on
future revenues and earnings, is impossible to predict. Also, if the U.S.
Government budget is reduced or spending shifts away from locations or contracts
for which the Company provides services, the Company's ability to retain current
contracts or obtain new contracts could be significantly reduced.
EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS
The Company maintains several employee benefit plans pursuant to which
certain of the shares of Common Stock being offered hereby may be offered or
sold. The primary purpose of these plans is to motivate the Company's employees
and directors to contribute to the growth and development of the Company by
encouraging them to achieve and surpass annual goals of the Company and of the
operations for which they are responsible. The following is a summary
description of each of these plans. All capitalized terms, unless otherwise
defined, have the meanings ascribed to them in the employee benefit plan to
which they relate.
Savings and Retirement Plan ("SARP")
Recent amendments to the SARP (originally adopted in 1983) added a
Company match for certain investments in Common Stock were adopted on March 28,
1995 and became effective on July 1, 1995.
Trustee
Merrill Lynch Trust Company, 265 Stevenson Avenue, Somerset, NJ 08873,
serves as trustee of the SARP, except that the Company serves as trustee of the
Company Stock Fund.
Administration
The Company administers the SARP through an Administrative Committee
consisting of H. M. Hougen, R. A. Hutchinson and J. A. Mackin officers of
the Company, whose address is 2000 Edmund Halley Drive, Reston, VA 22091.
Eligibility and Participation
Generally, all employees (as defined in the SARP) are eligible to
participate in the SARP upon commencing employment, except for employees in
groups or units designated as ineligible. As of December 31, 1994, there were
approximately 4,492 participants in the SARP.
Contributions and Allocations
The SARP permits a participant to elect to defer a portion of his or
her compensation for the Plan Year and to have such deferred amount contributed
directly by the Company to the participant's SARP account. Amounts deferred by
participants, including rollovers from qualified plans, totaled approximately
$16.0 million for the Plan Year ended December 31, 1995. Under the terms of the
SARP, deferred amounts are treated as contributions made by the Company. The
maximum amount of compensation that a participant may elect to defer is
determined by the SARP Administrative Committee, but in no event may the
deferral exceed $9,500 per year during 1996 (adjusted for cost-of-living under
rules prescribed by the Secretary of the Treasury). In addition to amounts
deferred by participants, the Company may, but is not obligated to, make a
matching contribution to the SARP accounts of those participants who have
elected to defer a portion of their compensation equal to a percentage or
percentages of the amounts which such participants have elected to defer. This
Company matching contribution is determined periodically by the Board of
Directors and is allocated to the SARP accounts of those participants who have
elected to defer a portion of their compensation. The Company intends to
contribute 100% of the first 1% of a participant's compensation deferred under
the SARP for investment in Common Stock (the "Company Stock Fund") and 25% of
the next 4% of such deferred compensation (the "Stock Match"). The Company's
Stock Match contribution to the SARP will be made in shares of Common Stock
unless the Board of Directors determines to make the contribution in cash, which
would then be used to purchase Company Stock on the Internal Market. 850,000
shares of Common Stock have been reserved for possible issuance in satisfaction
of the Company's Stock Match obligations during 1996 through 2001.
Certain acquired subsidiaries of the Company previously made matching
cash contributions to separately maintained 401(k) qualified deferred savings
plans without regard to the nature of the investment of the employee's
contribution. Effective January 1, 1995, these plans were merged into the SARP,
and matching contributions are now limited to the Stock Match.
Company contributions to the SARP are made by the due date (including
extensions) for the Company's federal income tax return for the applicable year
except contributions resulting from amounts deferred by participants, which must
be made within 30 days of deferral. The Company's practice has been to make
matching contributions quarterly based on current participant bi-weekly
deferrals, and the Company plans to make a Stock Match in conjunction with each
applicable Trade Date. Any additional Company contribution, if required, will be
made after the end of the Plan Year.
An Eligible Employee may transfer to the trust fund maintained for the
SARP a rollover contribution from another qualified retirement plan pursuant to
applicable regulations and SARP Administrative Committee procedures. A
participant in the SARP who has made a deferral election may terminate or alter
the rate of his or her deferrals at any time under the terms of the SARP.
Investment of Funds
The SARP Administrative Committee is authorized to establish a choice
of investment alternatives including securities of the Company, in which
contributions to the SARP (including that portion of compensation which
participants elect to defer) may be invested. The investment alternatives
currently available to participants in the SARP include a Company Stock Fund,
six Merrill Lynch & Company mutual funds and three other mutual funds. Under the
terms of the SARP, a participant's entire interest in his or her SARP account
may be invested in a mixture of Company Stock Fund and/or any of the other
mutual funds, provided that, in order to obtain the Stock Match, the matched
portion of a participant's compensation deferred under the SARP must be invested
in the Company Stock Fund that is not exchangeable for other investment
alternatives until after a period of 18 months. The Company's Stock Match will
also be invested in the Company's Stock Fund, which contribution will not be
allowed to be exchanged for another investment alternative. Participants may
elect at such time, in such manner and subject to such restrictions as the SARP
Administrative Committee may specify, to have contributions allocated or
apportioned among the different investment alternatives. Separate SARP accounts
are established for each investment alternative selected by a participant and
each such account is valued separately. Except for restrictions on investments
in the Company Stock Fund, participants may transfer amounts from one investment
alternative to one or more other investment alternatives on a daily basis.
Investments in the Company Stock Fund (other than the non-exchangeable
Company contribution described in the preceding paragraph) may be exchanged into
other investment choices (subject to the 18-month limitation mentioned above)
only on a Trade Date. It is the current policy of the SARP Administrative
Committee to keep all amounts related to the Company's Stock Fund invested in
Common Stock, except for estimated cash-equivalent reserves which are primarily
used to provide future benefit distributions, future investment exchanges and
other cash needs as determined by the SARP Administrative Committee. Residual
cash remaining after accounting for estimated cash reserves generally will be
used to purchase Common Stock. If cash reserves in the Company Stock Fund are
insufficient at any given time to provide benefit distributions and/or
investment exchanges, shares held by the Company Stock Fund may be offered for
sale on the Internal Market. Exchanges out of the Company Stock Fund may be
deferred until such time, if ever, that sufficient cash is available to make
required benefit distributions and provide for investment exchanges.
Accordingly, investment exchanges of participants' investments held in the
Company Stock Fund may be restricted. See "Risk Factors -- Absence of a Public
Market" and "Market Information -- The Internal Market."
The following tables summarize as of the dates indicated, the
investment performance of each of the nationally traded mutual funds in which
SARP funds can be invested, either since December 31, 1988 or for a shorter
period for funds which were created or became available to the SARP more
recently. The summary is based on an initial investment of $100.00 on each
investment alternative.

Company Stock Fund
Because the Company's Common Stock has not been publicly traded since
1988, there has not been any historical market-determined price. However, there
have been valuations of the Common Stock made by an independent appraiser as
required by the ESOP, the Board of Directors has (based upon such valuations)
periodically determined the value of the Common Stock for purposes of offers and
sales of Common Stock made pursuant to the Stockholders Agreement, and there
have also been private share transactions based upon such determinations. The
prices of Common Stock set forth in the table below are based on these various
valuations, determinations and transactions, and (with the exception of the
price for July 1, 1995) not on the Formula Price that will be utilized for
purchases and sales of Common Stock on the Internal Market.
Effective with the commencement of the LBO in January 1988, the price
was based on a "package" consisting of one share of Common Stock plus Warrants
to purchase 6.6767 additional shares. The exercise price of the Warrants was
reduced from $5.00 per share to $0.25 per share during the period 1988 to 1993;
as each third of the outstanding balance of the initial ESOP loan was repaid,
the exercise price was reduced by $1.58.
The average price per share figures shown below for July 1, 1988 and
1989 ($3.47 and $3.79, respectively) represent the weighted average of the
actual costs to the Company's employee stockholders based on a purchase price of
$24.25 per unit, each unit being comprised of one share of Common Stock and
Warrants to purchase 6.6767 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.25
per share.
The average price per share figures shown below for July 1, 1990
through July 1, 1994, reflect market values established by the Board of
Directors for purposes of sales under the former Management Employees Stock
Purchase Plan and for transactions under the Stockholders Agreement. The Board's
determination was based on its review of valuations of the Common Stock made
annually by an independent appraiser for the ESOP Trust. Prior to December 31,
1993, the appraiser's calculation produced annually a single control share
valuation, which applied to shares allocated to ESOP participants' accounts
during the period from 1988 through 1993. This control share premium was not
applicable to shares of Common Stock outside the ESOP, and therefore such
valuation was adjusted by the Company's Chief Financial Officer in his
recommendation to the Board to apply a discount for lack of liquidity and to
eliminate the control share premium. Since December 31, 1993, the independent
appraiser has also produced annually a valuation for the shares of Common Stock
not having such a control premium, and the Board of Directors has determined
market values for purposes of the Stockholders Agreement following its review of
the ESOP valuation of Common Stock not having a control premium. The price per
share for July 1, 1995 and later dates is based upon the Formula Price.
From and after May 10, 1995, the Board of Directors has determined that
the price per share will equal the Formula Price described herein. There can be
no assurance that the Common Stock will in the future provide returns comparable
to historical returns, or that the Formula Price will provide returns similar to
those for past transactions that were based on prices other than the Formula
Price. Because the prices listed in the table below were developed under
differing valuation methods for differing purposes, they are not fully
comparable with the Formula Price.

Vesting
Under the SARP as currently in effect, each participant is 100% vested
in those portions of his or her SARP account which are attributable to the
participant's salary deferrals and earnings thereon. Entitlement to the Stock
Match will vest at the rate of 50% after two years of service and 100% after
three years of service, provided the underlying matched investment in the
Company Stock Fund is held the requisite 18-month period.
Loans
Loans are available from the SARP account to all participants. Loans
have a maximum limit of $50,000 reduced by the participant's highest aggregate
outstanding loan balance during the preceding 12-month period. Loans are further
limited to 50% of a participant's vested interest in his or her eligible
accounts (these loans from SARP may not exceed the vested value in the SARP less
vested amounts invested in the Company Stock Fund). Loans must (i) bear a
reasonable rate of interest, (ii) be adequately secured, (iii) state the date
upon which the loans must be repaid, which in any event may not exceed five
years from the date on which the loan is made, unless the proceeds are used for
the purchase of a principal residence, in which case repayment may not exceed 30
years, and (iv) be amortized with level payments, made not less frequently than
quarterly, over the term of the loan. The Company currently requires that loans
be repaid through payroll deductions. The loan documents provide that 50% of the
participant's vested account balances are security for the loan, and the SARP,
therefore, has a lien against such balances. A loan will result in a withdrawal
of the borrowed amounts from the participant's interest in the Funds against
which the loan is made and, to the extent that cash assets in accounts other
than the Company Stock Fund are required, a portion of the investment in the
Company Stock Fund may need to be transferred. Principal and interest payments
on the loan are allocated to the account(s) of the borrowing participant in
accordance with the current investment choices of the participant.
Distributions and Withdrawals
If a participant's employment with the Company terminates, the
participant is entitled to receive a single distribution of his or her entire
interest in his or her SARP account as soon as practicable following the date of
such termination. In the event a participant dies while employed by the Company,
the SARP Administrative Committee will direct the Trustee to make a single
distribution of the participant's entire interest in his or her SARP account to
the participant's spouse, or, if such spouse has given proper consent or if the
participant has no spouse, to the Beneficiary designated by the participant. In
the event the Company determines that the participant has suffered a permanent
disability while employed by the Company, the Company will direct the Trustee to
make a single distribution of the participant's entire interest in his or her
SARP account to the disabled participant.
Except in the case of qualifying hardship, no withdrawals may be made
from the salary deferral portion of a participant's SARP account prior to his or
her termination of employment unless and until he or she attains the age of 59
1/2. Any withdrawals made thereafter may be made only once in each Plan Year. In
the absence of a qualified court order to the contrary, a participant's interest
in the SARP may not be voluntarily or involuntarily assigned or hypothecated.
The Company has established procedures for hardship withdrawals including (i)
definition of qualifying hardships, (ii) requirements for having first withdrawn
all voluntary after-tax contributions from any other Company retirement plans
and having received the maximum loans available under such plans, and (iii)
requirement for a 12-month suspension from making elective deferrals into SARP
following the hardship withdrawal.
All distributions, including withdrawals, from the SARP are paid in
cash, except that the portion of SARP balances represented by Common Stock shall
be distributed in kind, which shares of Common Stock will be subject to the
Company's right of first refusal in the event that the participant desires to
sell such shares other than on the Internal Market. See "Description of Capital
Stock -- Restrictions on Common Stock."
Employee Stock Ownership Plan ("ESOP")
The ESOP was established effective January 1, 1988 as the Company's
principal retirement plan. It succeeded the DynCorp defined benefit qualified
Pension Plan which was terminated in November, 1988, following the LBO.
Following termination of the Pension Plan, approximately $10 million of excess
Pension Plan assets were rolled over into the ESOP for the benefit of ESOP
participants who were also Pension Plan participants.
At the time of the establishment of the ESOP, it entered into a
Subscription Agreement with the Company under which it agreed to purchase
4,123,711 shares of Common Stock for $24.25 per share. The purchases were made
by the ESOP with funds obtained under a $100 million loan from the Company. Upon
acquisition of the shares effective September 9, 1988, they were held by the
ESOP trustee to be allocated to employee participants during the period from
1988 through 1993, pro rata to the ESOP's projected pay-off of the Company loan.
During the period September, 1988, through December, 1993, the Company
made cash contributions to the ESOP of approximately $16 million per year, which
in turn was used by the ESOP to repay the loan to the Company. The loan,
including interest of approximately $22.3 million, was repaid in its entirety
effective December 31, 1993.
In March, 1994, the ESOP purchased an additional 316,189 shares of
Common Stock from the Company at $11.86 per share. In June, 1994, the ESOP
purchased an additional 996,270 shares of Common Stock from the Company at
$13.40 per share. All shares of Common Stock acquired by the ESOP in 1994 were
allocated to ESOP participants during 1994. In March, 1995, the ESOP purchased
1,208,059 additional shares of Common Stock from the Company at $14.90 per
share, of which, 1,174,295 were allocated in 1995 and 33,764 are expected to be
allocated to participants' accounts in 1996.
Trustees and Administration
The ESOP is administered by the ESOP Committee, consisting of
J. P. Schelling, a former employee of the Company, L. A. Emmerichs and
J. C. Zall, employees of the Company. Their address is 2000 Edmund Halley
Drive, Reston, VA 22091. The members of the ESOP Committee also serve
as trustees of the ESOP.
Eligibility and Participation
Generally, all employees, except groups or units designated as
ineligible, participate in the ESOP. As of December 31, 1995, there were
approximately 33,500 participants in the ESOP, including terminated, vested
participants.
Contributions, Allocations, and Forfeitures
For the Plan Year ended December 31, 1995, the Company contributed
approximately $18,175,000 to the ESOP. The amount of the Company's annual
contribution to the ESOP is determined by, and within the discretion of, the
Board of Directors, subject to certain limitations. See "General Provisions of
the ESOP and SARP." The Company's annual contribution to the ESOP may be in the
form of cash, Common Stock or other qualifying securities. Participants may not
make voluntary contributions to the ESOP. The Company's current practice has
been to make pro-rata contributions quarterly.
Company contributions to the ESOP for each Plan Year are generally
allocated to the accounts of participants in the ratio which each such
participant's eligible compensation bears to the total eligible compensation of
all such participants. Forfeitures, if any, of the non-vested portion of
terminated participants' accounts are allocated to the accounts of remaining
participants who are entitled to receive an allocation of the Company
contribution. Forfeitures are allocated in the ratio which each such remaining
participant's allocation bears to the total allocation of all such remaining
participants.
Investment of Funds
Although it is generally intended that the assets of the ESOP will be
invested in Company stock, the ESOP may hold cash and liquid investments pending
purchase of Company stock and current cash needs. The exact number of shares of
Common Stock, if any, which may be purchased by the Trustee of the ESOP in the
future will depend on various factors, including any modifications to the ESOP
adopted either in response to changes or modifications in the laws and
regulations governing the ESOP or at the discretion of the Company's management.
Participants who have attained the age of 55 and have ten or more years of
participation are entitled, pursuant to the terms of the ESOP and ESOP Committee
procedures, to receive distributions of a percentage of their balances in the
ESOP. It is the current policy of the ESOP Committee to keep all amounts
invested in Common Stock, except for estimated cash reserves which are primarily
used to provide future benefit distributions, future investment exchanges and
other cash needs as determined by the ESOP Committee. If residual cash reserves
in the ESOP are insufficient to provide cash benefit distributions and/or
investment exchanges and the "put option" described below is not applicable, the
ESOP Committee may offer shares of Common Stock for sale on the Internal Market.
Exchanges out of Company stock may be deferred until such time, if ever, that
sufficient cash is available to make required benefit distributions and provide
for investment exchanges. Accordingly, investment exchanges of participant's
investments held in the ESOP may be restricted. See "Risk Factors -- Absence of
a Public Market" and "Market Information -- The Internal Market."
Vesting
The ESOP vesting schedule currently provides that a participant's
interest vests 50% after two years of service, 75% after 3 years of service, and
100% after 4 years of service, so that each participant's interest becomes fully
vested after the participant is credited with four years of service. A
participant's interest also becomes fully vested, notwithstanding the fact that
the participant has not yet been credited with four years of service, at the
time of such participant's attainment of the age of 65, permanent disability, or
death while employed by the Company.
Distributions and Withdrawals
In the event that an employee participating in the ESOP is terminated,
retires, dies or becomes disabled while employed by the Company, the Company is
obligated to repurchase shares of Common Stock distributed to such former
employee under the ESOP until such time as the Common Stock becomes "Readily
Tradable Stock," as defined in the ESOP plan documents. This "put option" gives
the holder of such shares the right to require the ESOP (or, if the ESOP is
unable to honor the put, the Company) to portion of such shares at the ESOP
Share Price during two limited time periods.
The first of these periods is the 60-day period following the date on which the
shares are distributed out of the ESOP, and the second is the 60-day period
following notification by the Company of the valuation of the Common Stock as
soon as practicable after the beginning of the Plan Year commencing after such
distribution. Such shares will also be subject to a right of first refusal by
the Company in the event that the participant desires to sell such shares other
than on the Internal Market. See "Description of Capital Stock -- Restrictions
on Common Stock."
The ESOP Share Price is actually two different prices. One price is
applicable to shares first acquired by the ESOP in 1988, incidental to the
leveraged buy-out, which constituted a controlling portion of the outstanding
Common Stock of the Company; these shares bear an "enterprise value" which, as
of March 31, 1996, was determined by the independent appraisal firm for the
committee administering the Company's qualified retirement plans to be $18.90
per share. The other price is applicable to shares acquired by the ESOP
subsequent to 1988, which carried no such controlling factor; these shares bear
a "minority value" which, as of March 31, 1996, was determined by such
appraisal firm to be $15.00 per share. Each participanat's accounts tracks the
number of enterprise value shares and minority value shares allocated to such
account and distributable at any given time and distributions are made pro rata
from the two types of shares. If a share is put to the ESOP (or the Company)
pursuant to the put option, the applicable ESOP Share Price (depending upon
whether such shares bears an enterprise value or a minority value) is payable
therefor.
Through December 31, 1996, the Company will be obligated to ensure that
a selling participant is paid the higher of $27.00 per share or the ESOP Share
Price at the time of repurchase for any such shares. In the event the ESOP Share
Price is less than $27.00 per share, the Company is committed to pay through
December 31, 1996, up to an aggregate of $16,000,000, the difference ("Premium")
between the ESOP Share Price and $27.00 per share. As of December 31, 1995, the
Company had paid a total of $5,400,000 million of the $16,000,000 to such former
employees.
Although the Company estimates total Premium of $8,500,000, there can
be no guarantee that the Company will not be required to fund the entire
$16,000,000 Premium.
The Company estimates an aggregate annual commitment to repurchase
shares from the ESOP participants as follows: $3,900,000 in 1996, $2,800,000 in
1997, 5,500,000 in 1998, 6,000,000 in 1999, $6,600,000 in 2000, and $78,232,000
thereafter. To the extent that the Company repurchases shares as described
above, its ability to purchase shares on the Internal Market will be adversely
affected. See "Risk Factors.
The Company May be Obligated to Repurchase Shares of Certain ESOP
Participants."
After December 31, 1996, or at any earlier time that the $16 million
limitation is reached, for any purchases at times when shares distributed from
the ESOP are not Readily Tradable Stock, the ESOP or the Company will honor its
put obligation by paying for each such share the ESOP Share Price pursuant to
the ESOP plan document. Until such time as such shares of Common Stock satisfy
the ERISA requirements to become Readily Tradable Stock, the shares of Common
Stock that are distributed out of the ESOP will continue to be subject to the
put option, and would not trade on the Internal Market unless a distributee
declines to exercise his put option with respect to such shares. See "Risk
Factors -- Absence of a Public Market."
Participants are not permitted to make withdrawals under the ESOP prior
to termination of employment. In the absence of a qualified domestic relations
order to the contrary, a participant's interest in the ESOP may not be
voluntarily or involuntarily assigned or hypothecated. Any permitted designee
will be subject to the same rules and limitations applicable to the participant.
General Provisions of the ESOP and SARP
The ESOP and SARP (collectively, the "Plans") each contain the
following provisions:
Contribution Limitations
The maximum contribution for any Plan Year which the Company may make
to all Plans for the benefit of a participant (including contributions to the
SARP as a result of salary deferral elections by participants), plus
forfeitures, may not exceed the lesser of (i) $30,000 or (ii) 25% of the
participant's compensation.
Administration
The Plans are administered, respectively, by the SARP Administrative
Committee and the ESOP Committee, whose members are appointed by and serve at
the discretion of the Company's Board of Directors. The members of the
Committees who are employees of the Company receive no compensation from the
Plans for services rendered in connection therewith.
The Committees have the power to supervise administration and control
of each Plan's operations including the power and authority to (i) allocate
fiduciary responsibilities, other than trustee responsibilities, among the Named
Fiduciaries, (ii) designate agents to carry out responsibilities relating to the
Plan, other than fiduciary responsibilities, (iii) employ legal, actuarial,
medical, accounting, programming and other assistance as the Committee may deem
appropriate in carrying out the Plan, (iv) establish rules and regulations for
the conduct of the Committee's business and the administration of the Plan, (v)
administer, interpret, construe and apply the Plan and determine questions
relating to the eligibility, the amount of any participant's service and the
amount of benefits to which any participant or beneficiary is entitled, (vi)
determine the manner in which Plan assets are disbursed and (vii) direct the
Trustee regarding investment of Plan assets, subject to the directions of
participants when provided for in the Plans.
Pass Through Voting and Tendering of Common Stock
Each participant in the Plans has the right to instruct the Trustee on
a confidential basis as to how to vote his or her proportionate interest in all
shares of Common Stock held in the various Plans. The Trustee will vote all
allocated shares held in the Plans as to which no voting instructions are
received, together with all unallocated shares held in the ESOP, in the same
proportion as the allocated shares in each Plan for which voting instructions
have been received are voted. The Committees are required to notify participants
of their pass through voting rights prior to each meeting of stockholders.
In the event of a tender or exchange offer for the Company's
securities, each participant in the Plans has the right, under current Plan
procedures, to instruct the Trustee on a confidential basis whether or not to
tender or exchange his or her proportionate interest in all shares of Common
Stock held in the various Plans. The Trustee will not tender or exchange any
allocated shares with respect to which no instructions are received from
participants. Shares held in the Plans which have not yet been allocated to the
accounts of participants will be tendered or exchanged by the Trustee, on a
Plan-by-Plan basis, in the same proportion as the allocated shares held in each
Plan are tendered or exchanged.
The Trustee's duties with respect to voting and tendering of Common
Stock are governed by the fiduciary provisions of the Employee Retirement Income
Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA"). These fiduciary provisions of ERISA
may require, in certain limited circumstances, that the Trustee override the
votes, or decisions whether or not to tender, of participants with respect to
Common Stock and to determine, in the Trustee's best judgment, how to vote the
shares or whether or not to tender the shares.
Trustee
Generally, the Trustee has all the rights afforded a trustee under
applicable law, although the Trustee generally may exercise those rights at the
direction of the Committee. Subject to this limitation and those set forth in
the Plans and master trust agreement, the Trustee's rights include, but are not
limited to, the right to (i) invest and reinvest the funds held in the Plans'
trust in any investment of any kind, including qualifying employer securities
and qualifying employer real property as such investments are defined in Section
407(d) of ERISA, and contracts issued by insurance companies, including
contracts under which the insurance company holds Plan assets in a separate
account or commingles separate accounts managed by the insurance company, (ii)
retain or sell the securities and other property held in the Plans' trust, (iii)
consent or participate in any reorganization or merger in regard to any
corporation whose securities are held in the Plans' trust (subject, in the case
of the Company's securities, to the participants' pass-through voting rights and
right to instruct the Trustee in the event of a tender or exchange offer) and to
pay calls or assessments imposed on the holder thereof and to consent to any
contract, lease, mortgage or purchase or sale of any property between such
corporation and any other parties, (iv) exercise all the rights of the holder of
any security held in the Plans' trust, including the right to vote such
securities (subject, in the case of the Company's securities, to the
participants' pass-through voting rights), convert such securities into other
securities, acquire additional securities and exchange such securities (subject,
in the case of the Company's securities, to the participants' right to instruct
the Trustee in the event of a tender or exchange offer), (v) vote proxies and
exercise any other similar rights of ownership, subject to the Committee's right
to instruct the Trustee as to how (or the method of determining how) the proxies
should be voted or such rights should be exercised and (vi) lend to participants
in the Plans such amounts as the Committee directs.
The Trustee's compensation and all other expenses incurred in the
establishment, administration and operation of the Plans are borne by the
respective Plans unless the Company elects to pay such expenses.
Administrative and Custodial Services
The Company has entered into an administrative services agreement with
Merrill Lynch, pursuant to which Merrill Lynch performs specified administrative
services for the SARP, principally related to accounting and recordkeeping.
Merrill Lynch's fees for these administrative services are borne by the SARP.
Prior to the first Trade Date, the administrative responsibility of Merrill
Lynch will be assumed by Buck Consultants, Inc.
Account Statements
Each participant is furnished with a statement of his or her accounts
in the respective Plans, no less than annually.
Amendment and Termination
The Company has reserved the right to amend each of the Plans at any
time and for any reason, except that no such amendment may have the effect of
(i) generally causing any assets of the Plan trusts to be used for or diverted
to any purposes other than providing benefits to participants and their
beneficiaries and defraying expenses of the Plans, except as permitted by
applicable law, (ii) depriving any participant or beneficiary, on a retroactive
basis, of any benefit to which they would otherwise be entitled had the
participant's employment with the Company terminated immediately prior to the
amendment or (iii) increasing the liabilities or responsibilities of a Trustee
or an investment manager without its written consent.
The Company has also retained the right to terminate any of the Plans
at any time and for any reason. In addition, the Company may discontinue
contributions to the Plans; provided, however, that any such discontinuation of
contributions shall not automatically terminate the Plans as to funds and assets
then held by the Trustee.
ERISA
Each of the Plans is subject to ERISA, including reporting and
disclosure obligations, fiduciary standards, and the prohibited transaction
rules of Title I thereof. Since each of the Plans is an individual account plan
under ERISA, neither of the Plans is subject to the jurisdiction of the Pension
Benefit Guaranty Corporation ("PBGC") under Title IV of ERISA and the Plans'
benefits are not guaranteed by the PBGC.
Federal Income Tax Consequences
In the Company's view, the following discussion includes a description
of all material federal income tax considerations relating to the Plans. The
Company has not received an opinion of counsel with respect to this discussion.
Each of the Plans is qualified under Section 401(a) of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). Qualification of the Plans under
Section 401(a) of the Code has the following federal income tax consequences:
(a) A participant will not be subject to federal income tax on Company
contributions to the Plans at the time such contributions are made.
(b) A participant will not be subject to federal income tax on any
income or appreciation with respect to such participant's accounts under the
Plans until distributions are made (or deemed to be made) to such participant.
(c) A participant and the Company will not be subject to federal
employment taxes on Company contributions to the Plans, except as set forth
below with respect to certain Company contributions to the SARP.
(d) The Plans will not be subject to federal income tax on the
contributions to them by the Company and will not be subject to federal income
tax on any of their income or realized gains, assuming that the Plans do not
realize any unrelated business taxable income.
(e) Eligibility for participation in the Plans will preclude or
restrict an employee from making deductible contributions to an Individual
Retirement Account ("IRA"), depending on the employee's marital status and
adjusted gross income ("AGI") for the year. If an employee or his or her spouse
is covered by an employer-maintained retirement plan (such as any of the Plans),
an IRA deduction is available only if the participant's AGI does not exceed a
certain phase-out level. To the extent that the IRA deduction is limited under
these provisions, a non-deductible IRA contribution is permitted (in an amount
equivalent to the reduction in the deductible IRA amount).
(f) Subject to the contribution limitations contained in the Plans, the
Company will be able to deduct the amounts that it contributes under the Plans,
with the amount of such deduction generally equaling the amount of the
contributions.
(g) Distributions from the Plans will be subject to federal income tax
under special, complex rules that apply generally to distributions from
tax-qualified retirement plans. In general, a single distribution from any of
the Plans will be taxable in the year of receipt at regular ordinary income
rates (on the full amount of the distribution, exclusive of the amount of the
participant's voluntary, non-deductible contributions made to those Plans which
previously permitted such contributions) unless the distributee is eligible for
and elects (i) to make a qualifying "rollover" of the amount distributed to an
IRA or another qualified plan or (ii) to utilize 10-year averaging, 5-year
averaging or partial capital gains taxation of the distribution. However, the
tax on any portion of the qualifying lump sum distribution represented by "net
unrealized appreciation" in Common Stock distributed shall be deferred until a
subsequent sale or taxable disposition of the shares, unless the distributee
elects not to have this deferral apply.
A "lump sum distribution," for purposes of eligibility for deferral of
tax on net unrealized appreciation, is defined as a distribution of the
employee's entire vested interest under the Plan within one taxable year (i) on
account of the participant's death or other separation from service or (ii)
after the participant has attained age 59 1/2. For a lump sum distribution to be
eligible for 5-year averaging, the participant also must have been a participant
in the Plan from which the distribution is made for at least five years prior to
the year of distribution and must have attained age 59 1/2 when the distribution
is received. Under a special transition rule, an individual who had attained age
50 on January 1, 1986, and who would otherwise be entitled to elect 5-year
averaging (without regard to the age 59 1/2 requirement) may instead make a
one-time election of 10-year averaging (at 1986 rates) and may elect to have the
pre-1974 portion of the distribution taxed at 1986 capital gains rates. The
special 5-year or 10-year averaging treatment, as well as partial capital gains
treatment, of lump sum distributions is applicable to a lump sum distribution
from a Plan only if all other lump sum distributions (whether or not from the
same Plan or plans of a similar type) received during the same taxable year by
the participant are treated in the same manner. Hence, for example, if a
participant receives a lump sum distribution from the SARP and ESOP in the same
taxable year, he or she could not elect to use 5-year or 10-year averaging on
the SARP distributions while electing a rollover to an IRA of the distribution
from the ESOP.
"Early" distributions from the Plans will result in an additional 10%
tax on the taxable portion of the distribution, except to the extent the
distribution (i) is rolled over into an IRA or other qualified plan or (ii) is
used for deductible medical expenses. "Early" distributions are in-service
distributions (i.e., prior to termination of employment) prior to the date the
participant attains age 59 1/2 unless due to the permanent disability of the
participant, and distributions made following termination of service unless due
to the death of the participant or made to a participant who terminated
employment during or after the calendar year the participant attained the age of
55.
(h) A participant (or his or her spouse in the event of the
participant's death) who (i) receives a distribution from the Plans (other than
certain mandatory distributions after age 70 1/2) and (ii) wishes to defer
immediate tax upon receipt of such distributions, may transfer (i.e.,
"rollover") all or a portion thereof, exclusive of the amount of the
participant's voluntary nondeductible contributions (made to those Plans which
previously permitted the participant to make voluntary nondeductible
contributions) received in the distribution, to either an IRA or, in the case of
a participant, another qualified retirement plan. To be effective, the
"rollover" must be completed within 60 days of receipt of the distribution.
Alternatively, the participant or spouse may request a direct rollover from the
Plans to an IRA or, in the case of a participant, to another qualified
retirement plan.
A participant (or his or her spouse) who does not arrange a direct
rollover to an IRA or another qualified plan will be subject to mandatory
federal income tax withholding at a rate of 20% of the taxable distribution,
even if the participant or spouse later makes a rollover within the 60-day
period.
A participant (or his or her spouse) who makes a valid "rollover" to an
IRA will defer payment of federal income tax until such time as such participant
(or his or her spouse) actually begins to receive distributions from the IRA.
IRA earnings accumulate on a tax-deferred basis until actually distributed;
however, IRA funds generally may not be withdrawn without penalty until a
participant (or his or her spouse) (i) attains the age of 59 1/2, (ii) becomes
disabled or (iii) dies. The Code requires that distributions from an IRA or a
qualified retirement plan begin no later than April 1 of the taxable year
following the year in which an individual attains the age of 70 1/2, at which
time periodic distributions may continue for the participant's lifetime or for a
lifetime of the participant and the participant's spouse.
(i) The Code imposes a 15% excise tax on "excess distributions" to an
individual from all qualified retirement plans and IRAs (whether or not plans of
the same employer). In general, an "excess distribution" is a distribution or
distributions in excess of $112,500 in any calendar year (adjusted for
cost-of-living increases). This limit is increased to $562,500 (also adjusted
for cost-of-living) in the case of a lump sum distribution as to which a
qualified recipient elects 5-year or 10-year averaging treatment. Also, an
individual was entitled to elect on his or her 1988 federal income tax return to
exclude benefits accrued as of August 1, 1996, but these benefits are considered
in determining whether additional accrued benefits are subject to the tax. For
those individuals who did not elect this special rule, the $112,500/$562,500
limit is increased to $150,000/$750,000.
In addition to the federal income tax consequences applicable to all of
the Plans, the Deferred Fund of the SARP is intended to be a qualified "cash or
deferred arrangement" under Section 401(k) of the Code. A participant in the
SARP who elects to defer a portion of his or her compensation and have the
Company contribute it to the SARP will not be subject to federal income tax on
the amounts contributed at the time the contributions are made. However, these
contributions will be subject to social security taxes and certain federal
unemployment taxes. Elective deferrals by a participant to his or her SARP
account is limited to $7,000 annually (adjusted for cost-of-living). This annual
limit applies on an employee-by-employee basis to all 401(k) plans (including
plans of other employers) in which the employee participates. For calendar year
1995, the adjusted limit is $9,240.
Generally, the Company will be able to deduct the amounts that it
contributes to the SARP pursuant to employee elections to defer a portion of
their compensation, as well as any matching or additional Company contributions
it makes to the Deferred Fund. The deduction will be equal to the amount of
contributions made.
With respect to loans from the SARP commencing after December 31, 1986,
any interest paid by the participant will not be deductible, regardless of the
purpose of the loan or use of the loan proceeds. Moreover, interest paid on any
loan from any of the Plans by a "key employee," as defined in Section 416(i) of
the Code, will not be deductible.
Participants should consult their own tax advisors with respect to all
federal, state and local tax effects of participation in the Plans. Moreover,
the Company does not represent that the foregoing tax consequences will apply to
any particular participant's specific circumstances or will continue to apply in
the future and makes no undertaking to maintain the tax-qualified status of the
Plans.
1995 Employee Stock Purchase Plan
General
The 1995 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the "Stock Purchase Plan" or
"ESPP") was adopted on May 10, 1995, and it became effective July 1, 1995. The
Stock Purchase Plan is intended to qualify under Section 423(b) of the Code. The
Stock Purchase Plan provides for the purchase of Common Stock by participating
employees through voluntary payroll deductions. At each Trade Date, the Stock
Purchase Plan will purchase for the account of each participant that whole
number of shares of Common Stock which may be acquired with the funds available
in the participant's stock purchase account, together with the Company's
contribution described below. The Stock Purchase Plan is not subject to ERISA.
Eligibility
Generally, all of the Company's employees are eligible to participate
in the Stock Purchase Plan. No employee, however, who owns capital stock of the
Company having more than five percent of the voting power or value of such
capital stock will be able to participate. An employee's eligibility to
participate in the Stock Purchase Plan will terminate immediately upon
termination of employment with the Company.
Employees may participate in the Stock Purchase Plan by completing a
payroll deduction authorization in accordance with Company policy. The minimum
payroll deduction allowed is $7.00 per week and the maximum allowable deduction
is $450 per week. Further, no employee is entitled to purchase an amount of
Common Stock having a value (measured as of its purchase date) in excess of
$25,000 in any calendar year pursuant to the Stock Purchase Plan and any other
employee stock purchase plan that may be adopted by the Company.
Purchase of Shares/Discount
Shares of Common Stock purchased under the Stock Purchase Plan will be
acquired by the ESPP on the Internal Market. See "Market Information -- The
Internal Market." Contributions by participants under the Stock Purchase Plan
will be used by the ESPP to purchase shares at a discount established from time
to time by the Compensation Committee, but not to exceed 15% of the prevailing
Formula Price. The Company will either pay the discount portion to the ESPP in
cash, or will deliver to the ESPP a sufficient number of shares having a value
equal on the applicable Trade Date to the aggregate amount of the discount. The
Board of Directors has established the discount rate at 5%. A total of 100,000
shares has been reserved for possible issuance under the ESPP in satisfaction of
this contribution obligation.
Distribution and Withdrawals
Shares of Common Stock acquired under the Stock Purchase Plan will be
allocated to each participant's account immediately following each quarterly
Trade Date in which the acquisition occurred.
Pursuant to the By-Laws, all shares of Common Stock purchased pursuant
to the Stock Purchase Plan will be subject to the Company's right of first
refusal in the event that the participant desires to sell such shares other than
on the Internal Market. See "Description of Capital Stock -- Restrictions on
Common Stock."
Participants may withdraw the money held in their stock purchase
accounts at any time prior to the acquisition of shares of Common Stock
therewith, although upon doing so the participant will not be eligible to
participate in the Stock Purchase Plan until 12 months after such withdrawal. No
interest will be paid on the money held in the stock purchase accounts of the
participants.
Amendment and Termination
The Board of Directors of the Company may suspend or amend the Stock
Purchase Plan in any respect, except that no amendment may (i) increase the
maximum number of shares authorized to be issued by the Company under the Plan,
(ii) increase the Company's contribution for each share purchased above 15% of
the applicable purchase price for such share, (iii) cause the Stock Purchase
Plan to fail to qualify under Section 423(b) of the Code or (iv) deny to
participating employees the right at any time to withdraw from the Stock
Purchase Plan and thereupon obtain all amounts then due to their credit in their
Stock Purchase Accounts. The Stock Purchase Plan will terminate on December 31,
1999, unless extended by the Board of Directors.
Administration
The Stock Purchase Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee.
Members of the Compensation Committee receive no compensation from the Stock
Purchase Plan for services rendered in connection therewith. The current
members of the Compensation Committee are H. S. Winokur, Jr.
and R. E. Dougherty. The address of each such person is 2000 Edmund Halley
Drive, Reston, Virginia 22091.
Federal Income Tax Consequences
In the Company's view, the following discussion includes a description
of all material federal income tax considerations relating to the Stock Purchase
Plan. The Company has not received an opinion of counsel with respect to this
discussion.
For federal income tax purposes, no taxable income will be recognized
by a participant in the Stock Purchase Plan until the taxable year of sale or
other disposition of the shares of Common Stock acquired under the ESPP.
However, there is some authority to the effect that FICA and federal and state
unemployment insurance withholding may be required with respect to the discount
portion only. When the shares are disposed of by a participant two years or more
from the date such shares were purchased for the participant's account by the
ESPP, the participant must recognize ordinary income for the taxable year of
disposition to the extent of the lesser of (i) excess of the fair market value
of the shares on the purchase date over the amount of the purchase price paid by
the participant (the "Discount") or (ii) the amount by which the fair market
value of the shares at disposition or death exceeds the purchase price, with any
gain in excess of such ordinary income amount being treated as a long term
capital gain, assuming that the shares are a capital asset in the hands of the
participant. In the event of a participant's death while owning shares acquired
under the Stock Purchase Plan, ordinary income must be recognized in the year of
death in the amount specified in the foregoing sentence. When the shares are
disposed of prior to the expiration of the two-year holding period (a
"disqualifying disposition"), the participant must recognize ordinary income in
the amount of the Discount, even if the disposition is by gift or is at a loss.
In the case discussed above (other than death), the amount of ordinary
income recognized by a participant is added to the purchase price paid by the
participant and this amount becomes the tax basis for determining the amount of
the capital gain or loss for the disposition of the shares.
The Company will not be entitled to a deduction at any time for the
shares issued in satisfaction of the discount obligation, if a participant
holding such shares continues to hold his or her shares or disposes of his or
her shares after the required two-year holding period or dies while holding such
shares. If, however, a participant disposes of such shares representing the
discount portion prior to the expiration of the two-year holding period, the
Company is allowed a deduction to the extent of the amount of ordinary income
includable in gross income by such participant for the taxable year as a result
of the premature disposition of the shares.
Participants should consult their own tax advisors with respect to all
federal, state and local tax effects of participation in the Stock Purchase
Plan. Moreover, the Company does not represent that the foregoing tax
consequences will apply to any participant's specific circumstances or will
continue to apply in the future and makes no undertaking to maintain the
tax-qualified status of the Stock Purchase Plan.
1995 Stock Option Plan
General
The 1995 Stock Option Plan ("1995 Option Plan") was approved by the
Company's Board of Directors on February 10, 1995, and it became effective July
1, 1995. The 1995 Option Plan authorizes the granting of non-qualified stock
options with respect to an aggregate of 1,250,000 shares of Common Stock, during
the period July 1, 1995 through December 31, 1999. The Plan will terminate and
all unexercised options will expire on December 31, 2007.
The exercise price of options granted under the 1995 Option Plan is
determined by the Compensation Committee and may not be less than 100% of the
most recent Formula Price of the Common Stock on the date of grant. Upon the
exercise of an option, the exercise price is fully payable, in whole or in part,
in cash or in shares of Common Stock valued at the Formula Price on the date of
exercise. Any withholding required as a result of the exercise of a
non-qualified option may, at the discretion of the Compensation Committee, be
satisfied by withholding in shares of Common Stock of the Company valued at the
Formula Price on the date of exercise. All options granted pursuant to the 1995
Option Plan are non-transferable except by will or the laws of intestate
succession.
Options granted under the 1995 Option Plan may be exercised over a
period specified in the stock option agreement (which period may not exceed
seven years), subject to vesting provisions described below. If an optionee's
employment terminates as a result of death, permanent disability, or retirement
before reaching age 65, all options may be exercised, to the extent vested at
the date of termination, during the six month period following termination, but
in no event after their respective expiration dates. If an optionee retires at
or after age 65, all options, to the extent vested at the date of retirement,
may, for up to one additional year (but in no event later than their respective
expiration dates), be exercised by the optionee or by his legal representative
or permitted assignee. Upon termination of employment for any other reason, all
options (whether or not vested) will terminate as of the date of such
termination of employment, unless otherwise authorized by the Compensation
Committee (but in no event shall the option be exercisable for a period
extending beyond 90 days following such termination).
Eligibility and Participation
The persons eligible to receive options under the 1995 Option Plan are
key employees designated by the Compensation Committee and directors. No option
may be granted to any individual who, at the time the option is granted, owns
more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of capital stock
of the Company.
Vesting of Options
The right to exercise options granted under the 1995 Option Plan shall
vest at the rate of 20% per year during the five year period following the date
of the grant. Options that are forfeited due to termination of employment or
expiration shall be available for new grants under the Plan. All options shall
expire seven years after the date of grant unless earlier exercised upon
vesting. No grant of options will be made under the 1995 Option Plan that
permits exercise after more than seven years from the date of the grant.
In the event of a change of control involving the Company, all
optionees will be guaranteed either the continuation of a comparable stock
option plan with comparable rights (including identical rights with respect to
options granted prior to such change of control), or the right within a
reasonable period of time following such change of control, not to exceed one
year, to exercise all granted options under the 1995 Option Plan, whether or not
vested.
Amendment and Termination
The 1995 Option Plan may be amended, suspended or terminated by the
Board of Directors, except that no such amendment may, without the approval of
the holders of outstanding shares of the Company having a majority of the
general voting power, (i) increase the maximum number of shares for which
options may be granted (other than by reason of changes in capitalization and
similar adjustments), (ii) change the provisions of the 1995 Option Plan
relating to the establishment of the exercise price (other than the provisions
relating to the manner of determination of fair market value of the Company's
capital stock to conform to any applicable requirements of the Code or
regulations issued thereunder), or (iii) permit the granting of options to
members of the Compensation Committee. No options will be granted under the 1995
Option Plan after December 31, 1999.
General Provisions
All shares issued upon exercise of options granted under the 1995
Option Plan are subject to (i) the Company's right of first refusal in the event
that the optionee desires to sell his or her shares other than on the Internal
Market and (ii) the Company's right of repurchase upon termination of the
optionee's employment or affiliation. See "Description of Capital Stock --
Restrictions on Common Stock.
Grants of stock options may be contingent upon a requirement that such
individuals purchase a specified number of shares of Common Stock on the
Internal Market at the prevailing Formula Price. The Compensation Committee may
also establish other terms relating to vesting and exercise, such as a target
Formula Price.
If the outstanding shares of the Common Stock of the Company are
changed into, or exchanged for a different number or kind of shares or
securities of the Company through reorganization, merger, recapitalization,
reclassification, or similar transaction, or if the number of outstanding shares
is changed through a stock split, stock dividend, stock consolidation, or
similar transaction, an appropriate adjustment (determined by the Board of
Directors in its sole discretion) will be made in the number and kind of shares
and the exercise price per share of options which are outstanding or which may
be granted thereafter.
Administration
The 1995 Option Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee. The
Compensation Committee is appointed annually by the Board of Directors, which
may also fill vacancies or replace members of the Compensation Committee.
Subject to the express provisions of the 1995 Option Plan, the Compensation
Committee has the authority to (i) interpret the 1995 Option Plan, (ii)
prescribe, amend and rescind rules and regulations relating to the 1995 Option
Plan, (iii) determine the individuals to whom and the time or times at which
options may be granted and the number of shares to be subject to each option
granted under the 1995 Option Plan, (iv) determine the terms and conditions of
the option agreements under the 1995 Option Plan (which need not be identical),
and (v) make all other determinations necessary or advisable for the
administration of the 1995 Option Plan. In addition, the Compensation Committee
may, with the consent of the affected optionees and subject to the general
limitations of the 1995 Option Plan, make any adjustment in the exercise price,
the number of shares subject to, or the term of, any outstanding option by
cancellation of such option and a subsequent re-granting of such option, or by
amendment or substitution of such option. Options which have been so amended,
re-granted or substituted may have higher or lower exercise prices, cover a
greater or lesser number of shares of capital stock, or have longer or shorter
terms, than the prior options. The members of the Compensation Committee receive
no compensation from the 1995 Option Plan for services rendered in connection
therewith.
Federal Income Tax Consequences
In the Company's view, the following discussion includes a description
of all material federal income tax considerations relating to the 1995 Option
Plan. The Company has not received an opinion of counsel with respect to this
discussion.
All options granted under the 1995 Option Plan are non-qualified
options. Generally, the optionee will not be taxed upon grant of any
non-qualified option but rather, at the time of exercise of such option, the
optionee will recognize ordinary income for federal income tax purposes in an
amount equal to the excess of the fair market value at the time of exercise of
the capital stock purchased over the exercise price. The Company will generally
be entitled to a tax deduction at such time and in the same amount that the
optionee realizes ordinary income.
If capital stock acquired upon the exercise of a non-qualified option
is later sold or exchanged, then the difference between the sale price and the
fair market value of such capital stock on the date which governs the
determination of ordinary income is generally taxable (provided the stock is a
capital asset in the holder's hands) as long term or short-term capital gain or
loss depending upon whether the holding period for such capital stock at the
time of disposition is more or less than one year.
If payment of the exercise price of a non-qualified option is made by
surrendering previously owned shares of capital stock, the following rules
apply:
(a) No gain or loss will be recognized as a result of the surrender of
shares in exchange for an equal number of shares subject to the non-qualified
option;
(b) The number of shares received equal to the shares surrendered will
have a basis equal to the shares surrendered and a holding period that includes
the holding period of the shares surrendered;
(c) Any additional shares received (i) will be taxed as ordinary income
in an amount equal to the fair market value of the shares at the time of
exercise, (ii) will have a basis equal to the amount included in taxable income
by the optionee, and (iii) will have a holding period that begins on the date of
the exercise.
Holders of options granted under the Option Plan should consult their
own tax advisors for specific advice with respect to all federal, state or local
tax effects before exercising any options and before disposing of any shares of
capital stock acquired upon the exercise of an option. Moreover, the Company
does not represent that the foregoing tax consequences apply to any particular
option holder's specific circumstances or will continue to apply in the future.
Executive Incentive Plan
General
The Company's current Executive Incentive Plan (the "EIP") became
effective in 1993. The EIP provides for the annual award of discretionary
bonuses based on the achievement of specific financial and individual
performance goals. The EIP was amended effective January 1, 1996, to provide for
the payment of up to 20% of each award in the form of shares of Common Stock,
based on the most recent Formula Price. 300,000 shares have been reserved for
possible issuance under the EIP for calendar years 1996 through 2000. The EIP is
not subject to ERISA and is not intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of
the Code.
Eligibility and Participation
The officers and key managerial employees of the Company designated by
the Compensation Committee are eligible to participate in and receive bonuses
under the EIP.
Awards
Each year the Company establishes bonus pools representing the
aggregate targeted bonuses negotiated in advance with EIP participants. Awards
under the EIP are generally made based upon the achievement of certain
individual and financial performance criteria. Awards under the EIP are made
based on recommendations of the CEO to the Compensation Committee. Awards of
bonuses under the EIP are generally distributed after the end of the fiscal year
to which the bonus relates. Pursuant to the By-Laws, all shares of Common Stock
awarded under the EIP will be subject to the Company's right of first refusal in
the event that the participant desires to sell such shares other than on the
Internal Market. See "Description of Capital Stock -- Restrictions on Common
Stock." Awards of bonuses, including potential shares of Common Stock may also
be subject to forfeiture, in whole or in part, in the event of the termination
of the recipient's employment or affiliation with the Company prior to the date
for payment of awards.
Pursuant to the EIP, bonuses to the Chief Executive Officer must be
approved by the Compensation Committee. Members of the Compensation Committee
are ineligible to receive awards under the EIP. For services rendered during the
fiscal year ended December 31, 1994, a total of 56 individuals received an
aggregate of approximately $2.1 million in cash bonuses under the EIP. No shares
of Common Stock were issued under the EIP in 1994.
Federal Income Tax Consequences
In the Company's view, the following discussion includes a description
of all material federal income tax considerations relating to the EIP. The
Company has not received an opinion of counsel with respect to this discussion.
Awards under the EIP of cash bonuses and shares of Common Stock that
are not subject to forfeiture are taxable as ordinary income to the recipient in
the year received.
Recipients of awards under the EIP should consult their own tax
advisors with respect to all federal, state, and local tax effects of
participation in the EIP. Moreover, the Company does not represent that the
foregoing tax consequences will apply to any particular participant's specific
circumstances.
Amendment and Termination
The EIP may at any time be amended or terminated by the Board of
Directors, except that no amendment or termination may, without a recipient's
consent, affect any bonus award previously made to such recipient.
Administration
The EIP is administered by the Compensation Committee.
Multiemployer Pension Plans
Union employees who are not participants in the ESOP are covered by
multiemployer pension plans under which the Company pays fixed amounts,
generally per hours worked, according to the provisions of the various labor
contracts covering such employees. In 1995, 1994, and 1993, the Company expensed
$2,514,000, $2,367,000 and $2,321,000 respectively, for these plans. In the
event of the termination of, or withdrawal of the Company's participation in,
any such plans, the Company may be liable for its proportionate share of the
plan's unfunded vested benefits liability, if any.

Compensation of Directors
Non-employee directors of the Company receive an annual retainer fee of
$16,500 as directors and $2,750 for each committee on which they serve. The
Company also pays non-employee directors a meeting fee of $1,000 for attendance
at each Board meeting and $500 for attendance at committee meetings. Directors
are reimbursed for expenses incurred in connection with attendance at meetings
and other Company functions.
Directors and Officers Liability Insurance
The Company has purchased and paid the premium for insurance in respect
of claims against its directors and officers and in respect of losses for which
the Company may be required or permitted by law to indemnify such directors and
officers. The directors insured are the directors named herein and all directors
of the Company's subsidiaries. The officers insured are all officers and
assistant officers of the Company and its subsidiaries. There is no allocation
or segregation of the premium as regards specific subsidiaries or individual
directors and officers.
Employment-Type Contracts
In 1987, the Company entered into change-in-control severance
agreements with Messrs. Bannister, Duggan, Blanchard, Reichardt, and Dunn, and
certain other executive officers of DynCorp, and in 1995, it entered into a
similar agreement with Mr. Lombardi (the "Severance Agreements"). Each Severance
Agreement provides that certain benefits, including a lump-sum payment, will be
triggered if such executive is terminated following a change in control during
the term of that executive's Severance Agreement, unless such termination occurs
under certain circumstances set forth in the Severance Agreements. The Severance
Agreements expire on December 31, 1996, but they are automatically extended. The
amount of such lump sum payment would be equal to 2.99 times the sum of the
executive's annual salary and the average annual amount paid to the executive
pursuant to certain applicable compensation-type plans in the three years
preceding the year in which the termination occurs. Other benefits include
payment of any incentive compensation which has been allocated or awarded but
not yet paid to the executive for a fiscal year or other measuring period
preceding termination and a pro rata portion to the date of termination of the
aggregate value of incentive compensation awards for uncompleted periods under
such plans. Each Severance Agreement also provides that, if the aggregate of the
lump sum payment to the executive and any other payment or benefit included in
the calculation of "parachute payments" within the meaning of Section 280G of
the Internal Revenue Code exceeds the amount the Company is entitled to deduct
on its federal income tax return, the severance payments shall be reduced until
no portion of the aggregate termination payments to the executive is not so
deductible or the severance payment is reduced to zero. The Severance Agreements
also provide that the Company will reimburse the executive for legal fees and
expenses incurred by the executive as a result of termination except to the
extent that the payment of such fees and expenses would not be, or would cause
any other portion of the aggregate termination payments not to be, deductible by
reason of Section 280G of the Code.
Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation
The members of the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors
during 1995 were: Herbert S. Winokur, Jr., Chairman of the Board and Director;
Russell E. Dougherty, Director; and, until September 11, 1995, Michael T. Masin,
a former Director. None of the members are, or were, current or former employees
of the Company, and, except for Mr. Winokur, whose relationship to Capricorn
Investors, L.P. ("Capricorn") is described below, none have any relationship
with the Company of the nature contemplated by Rule 404 of Regulation S-K.
Mr. Winokur is the President of Winokur Holdings, Inc., which is the
managing partner of Capricorn Holdings, G.P., which in turn is the general
partner of Capricorn. On February 12, 1992, the Company loaned $5,500,000 to
Cummings Point Industries, Inc. ("CPI"), a Delaware corporation of which
Capricorn owned more than 10%. The indebtedness was represented by a promissory
note (the "Note"), bearing interest at the annual rate of 17%, which provided
that interest was payable quarterly but that interest payments could be added to
the principal of the Note rather than being paid in cash. The Note was
subordinated to all senior debt of CPI. The Note was due six months after
issuance, but it was automatically extended for three-month periods. By separate
agreement, Capricorn agreed to purchase the Note from the Company upon three
months' notice, for the amount of outstanding principal plus accrued interest.
The purchase obligation was secured by certain common stock and warrants issued
by the Company and owned by Capricorn. The Note was repaid in full, together
with accrued interest, on August 10, 1995.
No executive officer of the Company serves on the board of directors or
compensation committee of any entity (other than subsidiaries of the Company)
whose directors or executive officers served on the Board of Directors or
Compensation Committee of the Company.
SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT
Voting Securities
As of April 26, 1996, the Company had 8,018,003 shares of Common Stock
and 123,711 shares of Class C Preferred Convertible Stock outstanding, which
constituted all the outstanding voting securities of the Company. If all shares
issuable upon exercise of outstanding warrants, shares issuable upon exercise of
all vested options, shares issuable upon conversion of outstanding Class C
Preferred Convertible Stock and exercise of related warrants, and shares
issuable as a result of immediate vesting and expiration of deferrals under the
Restricted Stock Plan were to be issued (but excluding options which have either
not vested or whose exercise price exceeds the May 9, 1996 Formula Price),
the outstanding voting securities following such dilution would consist of
12,756,762 shares of Common Stock (and no shares of Class C Stock). The
following tables show beneficial ownership of issued voting shares as a
percentage of currently outstanding stock and beneficial ownership of
issued and issuable shares as a percentage of common stock on a fully diluted
basis assuming all such conversions, exercises, and issuances.

DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK
General
The authorized capital stock of the Company consists of 20 million
shares of Common Stock, par value $0.10 per share of which 8,018,003 are
outstanding, and 123,711 shares of Class C Preferred, par value $0.10 per share.
As of April 26, 1996, there were approximately 375 holders of record of Common
Stock and one holder of record of Class C Preferred.
As of April 26, 1996, there were also outstanding 3,308,392 Warrants to
acquire an identical number of shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of
$0.25 per warrant. Warrants were issued at the rate of 6.6767 Warrants for each
share of Common Stock acquired by certain management and other stockholders on
March 11, 1988 prior to the LBO, and 942,563 Warrants were issued to an
affiliate of the lead bank financing the LBO. A total of 5,066,003 Warrants were
issued in 1988, of which 1,757,611 or 35% have been exercised or surrendered
through December 12, 1995. Upon conversion of the Class C Preferred, 825,981
additional Warrants will be issued.
The following is a summary of certain of the detailed provisions of the
Certificate of Incorporation and By-Laws of the Company regarding the Company's
capital stock. The summary is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by
reference to the Certificate of Incorporation and to the By-Laws, copies of
which are filed as exhibits to the Registration Statement of which this
Prospectus is a part.
Common Stock
The holders of Common Stock are entitled to one vote per share of each
share held of record in elections for directors and on all other matters
required or permitted to be approved by a vote of stockholders of the Company.
Each share of Common Stock is equal in respect of rights and liquidation and
rights to dividends and to distributions. Stockholders of the Company do not and
will not have any preferred or preemptive rights to subscribe for, purchase or
receive additional shares of any class of capital stock of the Company, or any
options or warrants for such shares, or any rights to subscribe for or purchase
such shares, for any securities convertible into or exchangeable for such
shares, which may be issued, sold or offered for sale by the Company.
Restrictions on Common Stock
The Board of Directors of the Company amended the By-Laws on May 10,
1995, to provide that, as to any share of Common Stock issued on or after May
11, 1995, such share may not be sold or transferred by the holder thereof to any
third party, other than (1) by descent or distribution, (2) by bona fide gift,
or (3) by bona fide sale after the holder thereof has first offered in writing
to sell the share to the Company at the same price and under substantially the
same terms as apply to the intended sale and the Company has failed or declined
in writing to accept such terms within 14 days of receipt of such written offer
or has refused to proceed to a closing on the transaction within a reasonable
time after such acceptance; provided, however, that the sale to the third party
following such failure, declination, or refusal must be made on the same terms
which were not previously accepted by the Company and within 60 days following
such event, or the Company must again be offered such refusal rights prior to a
sale of such share; provided further, however, that this right does not apply to
(A) any transactions made at the current Formula Price through the Internal
Market; (B) any transactions made at any time while the Common Stock is listed
for trading on a national securities exchange or on the over-the-counter market;
(C) sales to the ESOP; or (D) shares which have been reissued to the holder in
exchange for shares issued prior to May 11, 1995 to the extent such previously
issued shares were not subject to any right of first refusal by the Company or
its shareholders.
Shares of Common Stock purchased on the Internal Market will be subject
to contractual transfer restrictions having the same effect as those contained
in the By-Laws. Prior to trading on the Internal Market, each buyer will be
required to adhere to the Internal Market rules which impose such transfer
restrictions on all shares purchased on the Internal Market. Shares of Common
Stock issued prior to May 11, 1995 and not subsequently purchased on the
Internal Market are not subject to such restrictions. See "Risk Factors -- All
Shares of Stock Issued in Connection with the Internal Market are Subject to the
Company's Right of First Refusal."
Class C Preferred Stock
The Class C Preferred ranks senior and prior to the Common Stock in the
case of a liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the affairs of the Company,
and bears annual dividends in the amount of $4.365 per share, which while unpaid
compound quarterly at 18% per annum, but are only paid in the event of a
liquidation of the Company. In the event of payment by the Company of dividends
on its Common Stock, the holder of the Class C Preferred will be entitled to
receive that amount of dividends that it would have received if it had converted
the Class C Preferred into Common Stock, provided that the aggregate amount of
such dividends shall not in any event exceed the aggregate amount of accrued and
unpaid dividends. The aforementioned dividends are forfeited upon conversion of
the Class C Preferred into Common Stock. The holder of the Class C Preferred is
entitled to convert each share of Class C Preferred into a share of Common Stock
upon the giving of appropriate notice. The holder of Class C Preferred is
entitled to vote, one vote for each share of Class C Preferred, with the holders
of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company. The holder of Class C
Preferred shares have the right to vote as a separate class if the Company
desires to:
(i) directly or indirectly create, incur, assume, guarantee or
otherwise become liable with respect to indebtedness for borrowed money in an
aggregate amount outstanding at any time in excess of $15,000,000 other than (A)
indebtedness evidenced by 16% Pay-in-Kind Junior Subordinated Debentures Due
2003, including in-kind dividends thereon; (B) unsecured indebtedness between
the Company and its subsidiaries incurred in the ordinary course of the
Company's cash management system; (C) indebtedness not to exceed the principal
amount of $150,000,000 issued by a wholly owned financing subsidiary of the
Company and secured by accounts receivable; and (D) indebtedness of the Company
incurred as a result of promissory notes issued as payment for shares of stock
repurchased or redeemed upon the exercise of put options by beneficiaries of the
Company's Employee Stock Ownership Plan;
(ii) directly or indirectly, create, incur, assume, guarantee or
otherwise become or remain liable with respect to (A) any agreement for the
lease, hire or use of any real or personal property required to be characterized
as a capital lease in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
in an amount in excess of $2,000,000 or (B) any agreement for the lease, hire or
use of any real or personal property required to be characterized as an
operating lease in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in
an amount payable during the term of such lease in excess of $2,000,000;
(iii) issue shares of capital stock (common or preferred), capital
stock equivalents, securities convertible into capital stock, or options,
warrants, or other rights to acquire capital stock; provided, however, that the
Company may (A) issue shares of Common Stock pursuant to the terms of warrants
outstanding as of May 15, 1995; (B) issue shares of Common Stock upon the
conversion of Class C Preferred Stock; (C) issue shares of Common Stock pursuant
to the conversion of Class C Preferred Stock (D) issue up to 850,000 shares of
Common Stock as matching shares pursuant to the Company's Savings and Retirement
Plan; (E) issue up to 100,000 shares of Common Stock as the discount portion of
the purchase price of shares purchased pursuant to the Company's Employee Stock
Purchase Plan; (F) issue up to 1,200,000 shares of Common Stock pursuant to the
Company's 1995 Stock Option Plan; and (G) issue up to 300,000 shares of Common
Stock in lieu of cash bonuses pursuant to the Company's Executive Incentive
Plan;
(iv) declare, make or pay any dividends on any shares of capital stock,
by any means whatsoever, or purchase, redeem, or otherwise acquire, any shares
of its capital stock, or set aside any funds for any such purpose; provided,
however, that the Company may (A) pay dividends on the Class C Preferred Stock
in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Certificate of
Incorporation, (B) pay liabilities related to the surrender of certificates for
capital stock previously redeemed or canceled, (C) repurchase, as and to the
extent required by law or contractual obligation, shares of Common Stock
distributed by the Company's Employee Stock Ownership Plan to participants in
such plan, (D) repurchase shares of Common Stock held by employees of the
Company (other than shares distributed to employees by the Company's Employee
Stock Ownership Plan), provided that the aggregate cost of such repurchases
pursuant to this clause D shall not exceed $250,000 in any fiscal year of the
Company, and (E) convert shares of Class C Preferred Stock into shares of Common
Stock and warrants or options in accordance with the applicable provisions of
the Certificate of Incorporation;
(v) employ or terminate the employment of the chief executive officer
or the chief operating officer of the Company or any executive officer reporting
directly to either of them, or materially alter the terms of any employment
agreement or other arrangement with the Company of such officer or officers;
(vi) directly or indirectly, lend any amount to, incur any indebtedness
to, or enter into any contracts material to its business or operations with, any
of its officers or directors, any of its shareholders, any member of the
immediate families of such officers, directors or shareholders, or any firm or
corporation in which such persons have an ownership interest; provided that the
Company may make advances and loans to officers in the ordinary course of
business in an aggregate amount outstanding at any time not to exceed $1,500,000
and may incur indebtedness to officers in the ordinary course of business in
form of deferred compensation and accrued vacation compensation;
(vii) sell, lease, license, transfer or cause or permit the sale,
lease, license or transfer of the assets of the Company or its subsidiaries
(other than inventory in the ordinary course of business or uneconomic or
obsolete equipment in the ordinary course of business) if the aggregate book
value of such assets, when added to all other assets sold, leased, licensed or
transferred (excluding sales described in the parenthetical clause above) within
the four consecutive preceding fiscal quarters exceeds $2,000,000;
(viii) acquire, whether by purchase, lease, license, merger, joint
venture or otherwise, any assets (other than inventory, materials and equipment
in the ordinary course of business) if the cost thereof, when added to the cost
of all other assets acquired during the four consecutive preceding fiscal
quarters, exceeds $2,000,000; or
(ix) alter or repeal those provisions of the By-Laws of the Company
which pertain generally to the election and duties of the directors of the
Company or which affect the rights and powers of the shareholders of the
Company.
These voting rights give the holder of Class C Preferred the ability to
effectively control the Company with respect to certain major corporate
decisions. Consequently, actions that might otherwise be approved by a majority
of the holders of Common Stock could be vetoed by the holder of Class C
Preferred. None of the items on which the holders of Class C Preferred would
vote as a class is required to be submitted to the holders of Common Stock for
their vote. See "Risk Factors -- Class C Preferred Stock Rights and
Preferences."
Stockholders Agreement
Certain individuals in the management group of the Company, Capricorn
and other outside investors who hold shares of Common Stock are parties to a
Stockholders Agreement originally dated March 11, 1988 and restated March 11,
1994 (the "Stockholders Agreement"). Under the terms of the Stockholders
Agreement, stockholders who own approximately 51% of the fully diluted
outstanding shares of Common Stock have agreed, among other things, to vote for
the election of a Board of Directors consisting of four management group
nominees, four Capricorn nominees and a joint nominee who would be elected if
needed to break a tie vote. Since the management group stockholders, directly
and through ESOP shareholdings, and Capricorn represent a majority of the shares
of Common Stock necessary to elect the Company's Board of Directors on a fully
diluted basis, it is unlikely that other stockholders acting in concert or
otherwise will be able to change the composition of the Board of Directors.
Unless extended, the Stockholders Agreement expires on March 10, 1999. See
"Description of Capital Stock -- Stockholders Agreement." See "Risk Factors --
Parties to Stockholders Agreement Effectively Control Appointments to the Board
of Directors."
VALIDITY OF COMMON STOCK
The validity of the Common Stock offered hereby will be passed upon for
the Company by H. Montgomery Hougen, Vice President and Secretary and Deputy
General Counsel of the Company. As of April 26, 1996, Mr. Hougen owned directly
and indirectly 24,855 shares of Common Stock and options to purchase 5,000
shares of Common Stock. Mr. Hougen is the beneficial owner of an additional
2,829 shares through the Company's benefit plans.

COMMISSION POSITION ON INDEMNIFICATION
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), may be permitted to directors, officers and
controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to provisions described in Item
14 below, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of
the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public
policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event
that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the
payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or
controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action,
suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person
in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless
in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling
precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether
such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and
will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
Report of Independent Public Accountants
To DynCorp:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of DynCorp (a
Delaware corporation) and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and
the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' accounts and
cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1995.
These consolidated financial statements and the schedules referred to below
are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements and schedules
based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform an audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free
of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.
An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of DynCorp and subsidiaries as
of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the results of their operations and their
cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1995,
in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
Our audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The schedules listed in Item 16(b) of
the Form S-1 are presented for purposes of complying with the Securities and
Exchange Commission's rules and are not part of the basic financial
statements. These schedules have been subjected to the auditing procedures
applied in the audits of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion,
fairly state in all material respects the financial data required to be set
forth therein in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 1995
(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Principles of Consolidation -- All majority-owned subsidiaries have
been included in the financial statements and all significant
intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated (see Note
2). Outside investors' interest in the majority owned subsidiaries
is reflected as minority interest. Investments less than 50% owned
are accounted for using the equity method of accounting.
Accounting Estimates -- The preparation of financial statements in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP)
requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during
the reporting period.
Contract Accounting -- Contracts in process are stated at the lower
of actual cost incurred plus accrued profits or net estimated
realizable value of 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 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. Disputes arise in the normal course of the Company's business
on projects where the Company is contesting with customers for
collection of funds because of events such as delays, changes in
contract specifications and questions of cost allowability or
collectibility. Such disputes, whether claims or unapproved change
orders in the 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.
Claims against the Company are recognized where loss is considered
probable and reasonably determinable in amount.
It is the Company's policy to provide reserves for the
collectibility of accounts receivable when it is determined that it
is probable that the Company will not collect all amounts due and the
amount of reserve requirement can be reasonably estimated.
It is the Company's policy to defer labor and related costs
incurred in connection with the phase-in/start-up of new contracts (after the
award of the contract) when such costs are significant to the contract and
are not reimbursed separately by the customer. These deferred costs are
generally amortized over the original contract period and option years
which are considered probable to be exercised. Phase-in/start-up costs
deferred on contracts awarded after 1995 will be amortized over the original
contract period only, excluding option years.
Property and Equipment -- The Company computes depreciation and
amortization using both straight-line and accelerated methods. The
estimated useful lives used in computing depreciation and
amortization on a straight-line basis are: building, 15-33 years;
machinery and equipment, 3-20 years; and leasehold improvements, the
lesser of the useful life or the term of the lease. Accelerated
depreciation is based on a 150% declining balance method with light-
duty vehicles assigned a three-year life and machinery and equipment
assigned a five-year life. Depreciation and amortization expense was
$5,100,000 for 1995, $4,978,000 for 1994 and $4,468,000 for 1993.
Cost of property and equipment sold or retired and the related
accumulated depreciation or amortization is removed from the accounts
in the year of disposal, and any gains or losses are reflected in the
consolidated statements of operations. Expenditures for maintenance
and repairs are charged to expense as incurred, and major additions
and improvements are capitalized.
Intangible Assets -- Intangible assets principally consist of the
excess of the acquisition cost over the fair value of the net
tangible assets of businesses acquired. In accordance with the
guidance provided in APB No. 16, the Company assesses and allocates,
to the extent possible, excess acquisition price to identifiable
intangible assets and any residual is considered goodwill. A large
portion of the intangible assets is goodwill which resulted from the
1988 LBO and merger, accounted for as a purchase, and represents the
existing technical capabilities, customer relationships and ongoing
business reputation that had been developed over a significant period
of time. The Company believes that these relationships and the value
of the Company's business reputation were and continue to be long-
term intangible assets with an almost infinite life. Since the APB
No. 17 limitation is 40 years, this period is used for amortization
purposes for the majority of the goodwill. The value assigned to
identifiable intangible assets at the time of the LBO and merger in
1988 was amortized over applicable estimated useful lives and was
fully amortized as of December 31, 1994.
At December 31, 1995, intangible assets consist of $47,846,000
of unamortized goodwill and $2,843,000 of value assigned to
contracts. Goodwill is being amortized on a straight-line basis over
periods up to forty years ($47,461,000 forty years, $158,000 thirty
years and $227,000 ten years). Amortization expense was $2,081,000, $4,343,000
(see Note 13(a)) and $2,568,000 in 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively.
Amounts allocated to contracts are being amortized over the lives of
the contracts for periods up to ten years. Amortization of amounts
allocated to contracts was $624,000, $2,051,000 and $3,555,000 in
1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively. Cumulative amortization of
$13,785,000 and $29,895,000 has been recorded through December 31,
1995, of goodwill and value assigned to contracts, respectively.
The Company assesses potential impairment of intangible assets,
including goodwill, on a continuing basis. The Company uses an
estimate of its future undiscounted cash flows to evaluate whether
the intangible assets, including goodwill, are recoverable. The
amount of impairment, if any, is measured based on projected
discounted cash flows using a discount rate reflecting the Company's
average cost of funds.
Income Taxes -- As prescribed by Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards (SFAS) No. 109 "Accounting for Income Taxes" the Company
utilizes the asset and liability method of accounting for income
taxes. Under this method, deferred income taxes are recognized for
the tax consequences of temporary differences by applying enacted
statutory tax rates applicable to future years to differences between
the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax bases of
existing assets and liabilities, less valuation allowances, if
required.
Environmental Liabilities -- The Company accrues environmental costs
when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount
can be reasonably estimated. Recorded liabilities have not been
discounted.
Contingent Liabilities -- The Company's accounting policy is to
accrue an estimated loss from a loss contingency when it is probable
that an asset has been impaired or a liability has been incurred at
the date of the financial statements and the amount of the loss can
be reasonably estimated. The accrual for a loss contingency may
include such costs as legal costs, settlement and compensating
amounts, estimated punitive damages and penalties.
Treasury Stock -- The Company records the purchase of treasury stock
at the lower of acquired cost or fair value. The amount in excess of
fair value, as in the case of shares acquired from ESOP participants,
is recorded as compensation expense (see Note 7).
Employee Stock Ownership Plan -- The Company has adopted Statement of
Position (SOP) 93-6, "Employers Accounting for Employee Stock
Ownership Plans," issued in November 1993 and effective for financial
statements issued after December 15, 1993.
Postretirement Health Care Benefits -- The Company provides no
significant postretirement health care or life insurance benefits to
its retired employees other than allowing them to continue as a
participant in the Company's plans with the retiree paying the full
cost of the premium. The Company has determined, based on an
actuarial study, that it has no liability under SFAS No. 106,
"Employers' Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than
Pensions."
Postemployment Benefits -- The Company has no liability under SFAS
No. 112, "Employers' Accounting for Postemployment Benefits," as it
provides no benefits as defined.
Other -- The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No.
114, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan," and SFAS No.
115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity
Securities," in May 1993 and SFAS No. 119, "Disclosure About
Derivative Financial Instruments," in October 1994. The Company
holds no significant financial instruments of the nature described in
these pronouncements and therefore believes the statements do not
have a material effect on its results of operations or financial
condition.
New Accounting Pronouncements -- SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be
Disposed Of" requires that long-lived assets and certain intangibles
be reviewed for impairment when events or circumstances indicate the
carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The Company's
practice is consistent with the guidelines as set forth in the
Statement. The Statement was issued in March, 1995 and is effective
for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1995.
SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" was
issued in October, 1995 and is effective for fiscal years beginning
after December 15, 1995. The Statement encourages, but does not
require, adoption of the fair value based method of accounting for
employee stock options and other stock compensation plans. The
Company has opted to account for its stock option plan, which was
adopted in October 1995, in accordance with APB Opinion No. 25,
"Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees." By doing so, the
Company, beginning in 1996, will be required to make proforma
disclosure of net income and earnings per share as if the fair value
based method for accounting defined in Statement 123 had been
applied.
Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows -- For purposes of these
statements, short-term investments which consist of certificates of
deposit and government repurchase agreements with a maturity of
ninety days or less are considered cash equivalents. Cash and short-
term investments at December 31, 1995 exclude $9,244,000 of
restricted cash which is classified as Other Assets.
Classification -- Consistent with industry practice, assets and
liabilities relating to long-term contracts and programs are
classified as current although a portion of these amounts is not
expected to be realized within one year.
Cash paid for income taxes was $3,140,000 for 1995, $1,145,000
for 1994 and $1,059,000 for 1993.
Cash paid for interest, excluding the interest paid under the
Employee Stock Ownership Plan term loan, was $22,100,000 for 1995,
$10,984,000 for 1994 and $11,545,000 for 1993. The increase in 1995
over prior years resulted from the payment in cash (as opposed to
payment-in-kind) of interest on the Company's 16% Junior Subordinated
Debentures (see below).
Noncash investing and financing activities consist of the
following (in thousands):

Capitalized equipment leases and notes

Change in Presentation of Stockholders' Accounts -- The
presentation of the stockholders' accounts in the balance sheets has
been revised as a result of classifying the ESOP shareholders and
management investor shareholders separately from outside investors
because of the redemption feature of the common stock held by the
ESOP and management investor shareholders. In previously issued
financial statements, the stockholders' accounts were aggregated.
(See Note 7).
(2) Discontinued Operations
On June 29, 1995, the Company's Board of Directors determined
that it would be in the Company's best interest to discontinue the
entire Commercial Aviation Business operations. On June 30, 1995,
the Company sold all of its subsidiaries engaged in the business of
commercial aircraft maintenance and modification to Sabreliner
Corporation for $13,700,000 in cash, subject to additional payments
based on future business revenues of the sold companies. On August
31, 1995, the Company sold all of its subsidiaries engaged in the
business of commercial aviation ground handling services, cargo
handling, and refueling to ALPHA Airports Group Plc for $122,000,000
in cash, subject to adjustment to the final closing date balance
sheet. The net proceeds received were in excess of the book value of
the net assets of the businesses and a gain of $1,396,000, net of
income taxes, has been recognized. Goodwill arising out of the 1988
LBO and merger had been allocated to the commercial aviation business
based on net assets at that time and projected earnings before interest,
taxes, depreciation and amortization. The net proceeds were used
primarily to retire DynCorp debt and satisfy existing equipment funding
obligations of the Ground Handling unit. As a result of these
divestitures, these businesses have been classified as discontinued
operations for financial reporting purposes. These two sales
resulted in the divestiture of the Company's entire Commercial
Aviation business.
The Company retained certain contingent liabilities of the
Commercial Aviation business. These contingent liabilities include
the normal general warranties and representations and certain
specific issues regarding environmental, insurance and tax matters.
The Company has recorded $3,250,000 to cover these contingent
liabilities of which $750,000 relates to environmental issues (see
Note 20, paragraph d).
The components of discontinued operations on the consolidated
condensed balance sheets (not including debt assumed by the buyers and debt
attributable to the Commercial Aviation business) and statements of operations
are as follows (in thousands):
December 31, 1994
Accounts receivable and contracts in process $ 35,788

Loss from discontinued operations $ (20) $(12,479) $ (8,929)
(a) The results of operations for 1995 are not comparable to
prior years due to the interim divestitures of the
maintenance and ground handling operations.
(b) During 1994, the Company revised its estimate of the useful
lives of certain machinery and equipment to conform to its
actual experience with fixed asset lives. It was determined
the useful lives of these assets ranged from three to ten
years as compared to the two to seven year lives previously
utilized. The effect of this change was to reduce
depreciation expense and net loss from discontinued
operations for the year ended December 31, 1994, by
approximately $2,115,000 or $0.31 per share.
(c) The Company continually evaluated its alternatives in
respect to the unsatisfactory performance by the Aircraft
Maintenance unit which posted an operating loss of
$5,351,000 in 1994, its fourth consecutive year of operating
losses. In 1991 and 1992, the unit experienced operating
losses of $1,137,000 and $428,000, respectively. In 1994,
after posting an operating loss of $6,629,000 in 1993, the
Company began exploring possible alternatives for the
disposition, curtailment or closing of the unit. For the
first six months of 1994, the unit was approximately at a
breakeven level. In the third quarter, the Company engaged
an investment advisor to market the maintenance unit and
entered into discussions with a potential business partner.
At December 31, 1994, the status of the unit was unresolved
pending the outcome of discussions with potential investors
and a major customer. These discussions could have resulted
in one of a number of alternatives, including the
consummation of a joint venture, the procurement of long-
term contracts, sale of the entire unit or the failure to
negotiate any transaction at all. Management projections
indicated that the maintenance unit should be profitable in
1995 with the exception of one site. The Company believed
that if it was unable to consummate a satisfactory
resolution through any of these alternatives, the most
likely course of action would be to consolidate its
operations by closing one of the maintenance facilities. In
management's opinion, no single alternative (i.e., entering
into a joint venture, the curtailment of operations or shut
down of one or more facilities, or the divestiture of the
unit as a whole) was more or less likely to occur; however,
the Company believed that it had suffered at least a partial
impairment of its investment in this unit. Accordingly, it
recorded an estimate of the applicable goodwill ($5,242,000)
and other assets ($4,250,000) that would be written down in
the event the consolidation or shut-down of one of the
facilities became necessary. The amount of goodwill
represents the unamortized balance as of December 31, 1994
of the goodwill allocated to the maintenance unit in Florida
at the time of the Company's 1988 LBO and merger. The
amount of write-down of other assets consists of estimated
losses to dispose of the inventory, property and equipment
and to otherwise reserve for shut-down/consolidation of
facilities. The Florida operation was the most likely
location to be closed since it had been incurring losses for
several years and a loss was projected for 1995. On June
30, 1995, the Company sold the entire Aircraft Maintenance
unit to Sabreliner Corporation (see the first paragraph of
this Note 2).
(d) The Company has charged interest expense to discontinued
operations of $7,950,000, $10,715,000 and $10,761,000 in
1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively. The interest expense
charged is the sum of the interest on the debt of the
discontinued operations assumed by the buyers plus an
allocation of other consolidated interest that was not directly
attributable to the continuing operations of the Company. The
amount allocated was based on the ratio of net assets of the
discontinued operations to the sum of total net assets of
the Company plus consolidated debt other than debt of the
discontinued operations that were assumed by the buyer and
debt that was not directly attributed to any other
operations of the Company. Subsequent to the discontinuance,
the allocated interest (and applicable debt) was substantially
eliminated by using the proceeds of the sale to pay off
DynCorp debt in amounts substantially equal to the amounts
used to allocate interest to the discontinued business
activities.
The sale of the subsidiaries resulted in a partial termination
of the ESOP and termination of all active participants of the
subsidiaries. These employees will be entitled to put their ESOP
shares (approximately 493,000 shares) sooner than had been previously
anticipated. These shares have been included in the estimated annual
repurchase commitment reported in Note 7, Redeemable Common Stock.
(3) Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the
fair value of each class of financial instruments for which it is
practicable to estimate the value:
Accounts Receivable, Accounts Payable and Accrued Income Taxes -
The carrying amount approximates the fair value due to the short
maturity of these instruments.
Long-term debt and other liabilities - The fair value of the
Company's long-term debt is based on the current rate as if the issue
date were December 31, 1995 and 1994 for its Collateralized Notes and
on the quoted market price for its Junior Subordinated Debentures.
For the remaining long-term debt (see Note 5) and other liabilities
the carrying amount approximates the fair value.
Cummings Point Industries, Inc. Note Receivable - The carrying
value approximated the fair value (see Note 11).
The estimated fair values of the Company's financial instruments at
December 31, are as follows (in thousands):
1995 1994
Carrying Fair Carrying Fair
Amount Value Amount Value
Cash and short-term investments $ 31,151 $ 31,151 $ 7,738 $ 7,738
Accounts receivable 179,706 179,706 172,731 172,731
Accounts payable 38,007 38,007 18,878 18,878

Long-term debt and other
liabilities 104,112 105,584 232,830 228,951
Cummings Point Industries, Inc.
note receivable - - 8,943 8,943
(4) Accounts Receivable and Contracts in Process
The components of accounts receivable and contracts in process were
as follows at December 31 (in thousands):
1995 1994
U.S. Government:
Billed and billable $109,937 $111,950
Recoverable costs and accrued profit on
progress completed but not billed 26,130 28,546
Retainage due upon completion of contracts 1,901 4,046
137,968 144,542
Other Customers (primarily subcontracts from
U.S. Government prime contractors and other state,
local and quasi-government agencies):
Billed and billable (less allowance for
doubtful accounts of $9 in 1995 and 1994) 32,479 22,781
Recoverable costs and accrued profit on
progress completed but not billed 9,259 5,408
41,738 28,189
$179,706 $172,731
Billed and billable include amounts earned and contractually
billable at year-end but which were not billed because customer
invoices had not yet been prepared at year-end. Recoverable costs
and accrued profit not billed is composed primarily of amounts
recognized as revenues, but which are not contractually billable at
the balance sheet dates. It is expected that all amounts at December
31, 1995 will be collected within one year except for approximately
$11,500,000.
(5) Long-term Debt
At December 31, 1995 and 1994, long-term debt consisted of (in thousands):
1995 1994
Contract Receivable Collateralized Notes, Series 1992-1 $100,000 $100,000
Junior Subordinated Debentures, net of
unamortized discount of $4,793 in 1994 - 102,658
Mortgages payable 3,802 22,285
Notes payable, due in installments through
2002, 9.88% weighted average interest rate 1,570 6,993

1998 498
1999 297
2000 328
Thereafter 2,425
$105,372
On January 23, 1992, the Company's wholly owned subsidiary, Dyn
Funding Corporation (DFC), completed a private placement of
$100,000,000 of 8.54% Contract Receivable Collateralized Notes,
Series 1992-1 (the "Notes"). The Notes are collateralized by the
right to receive proceeds from certain U.S. Government contracts and
certain eligible accounts receivable of commercial customers of the
Company and its subsidiaries. Credit support for the Notes is
provided by overcollateralization in the form of additional
receivables. The Company retains an interest in the excess balance
of receivables through its ownership of the common stock of DFC.
Additional credit and liquidity support is provided to the Notes
through a cash reserve fund. Interest payments are made monthly with
monthly principal payments beginning February 28, 1997. (The period
between January 23, 1992 and January 30, 1997 is referred to as the
Non-Amortization Period.) The notes are projected to have an average
life of five years and two months and to be fully repaid by July 30,
1997.
Upon receiving the proceeds from the sale of the Notes, DFC
purchased from the Company an initial pool of receivables for
$70,601,000, paid $1,524,000 for expenses and deposited $3,000,000
into a reserve fund account and $24,875,000 into a collection account
with Bankers Trust Company as Trustee pending additional purchases of
receivables from the Company. Of the proceeds received from DFC, the
Company used $38,112,000 to pay the outstanding balances of the
Employee Stock Ownership Plan term loan and revolving loan facility
under the Restated Credit Agreement and $33,280,000 was used for the
redemption of all of the outstanding Class A Preferred Stock plus
accrued dividends (the redemption price per share was $25.00 plus
accrued dividends of $.66). The Company charged $8,047,000 of
unamortized discount and deferred issuance costs associated with the
redemption of the Class A Preferred Stock to paid-in surplus.
On an ongoing basis, cash receipts from the collection of the
receivables are used to make interest payments on the Notes, pay a
servicing fee to the Company, and purchase additional receivables
from the Company. Beginning February 28, 1997, instead of purchasing
additional receivables, the cash receipts will be used to repay
principal on the Notes. During the Non-Amortization Period, cash in
excess of the amount required to purchase additional receivables and
meet payments on the Notes is to be paid to the Company subject to
certain collateral coverage tests. The receivables pledged as
security for the Notes are valued at a discount from their stated
value for purposes of determining adequate credit support. DFC is
required to maintain receivables, at their discounted values, plus
cash on deposit at least equal to the outstanding balance of the
Notes.
The Notes may be redeemed in whole, but not in part, at the option
of DFC at a price equal to the principal amount of the Notes plus
accrued interest plus a premium (as defined).
Mandatory redemption (payment of the Notes in full plus a premium)
is required in the event that (i) the collateral value ratio test is
equal to or less than .95 as of three consecutive monthly
determination dates and the Company has not substituted receivables
or deposited cash into the collection account to bring the collateral
value ratio above .95; or (ii) three special redemptions are required
within any consecutive 12-month period; or (iii) the aggregate stated
value of all ineligible receivables which have been ineligible
receivables for more than 30 days exceeds 7% of the aggregate
collateral balance and the collateral value ratio is less than 1.00.
Special redemption (payment of a portion of the Notes plus a
premium) is required in the event that the collateral value ratio
test is less than 1.00 as of two consecutive monthly determination
dates and the Company has not substituted receivables or deposited
cash into the collection account to bring the collateral value ratio
to 1.00.
Also, DFC may not purchase additional eligible receivables if the
Company has an interest coverage ratio (as defined) of less than
1.10; or if the Company has more than $40 million of scheduled
principal debt (as defined) due within 24 months prior to the
amortization date or $20 million of scheduled principal debt due
within 12 months prior to the amortization date.
At December 31, 1995, $113,597,000 of accounts receivable are
restricted as collateral for the Notes. Additionally, $3,000,000 of
cash is restricted as collateral for the Notes and $6,244,000 of cash
is restricted as collateral for letters of credit required for
certain contracts, most with terms of three to five years. The
Company negotiated an agreement which provides for a $7,500,000
revolving letter of credit facility. For each letter of credit
issued, the Company must assign a cash collateral deposit in favor of
the bank for 100% of the face value of the letter of credit. The
Company will pay a fee of 1.5% per annum computed on the face amount
of the letter of credit for the period the letter of credit is
scheduled to be outstanding. This restricted cash has been included
in Other Assets on the balance sheet at December 31, 1995. To
conform with the current period presentation, restricted cash of
$3,000,000 and $2,937,000 representing collateral for the Notes and
letters of credit, respectively, has been reclassified to Other
Assets at December 31, 1994.
On July 25, 1995, the Company entered into a revolving credit
facility with Citicorp North America, Inc. under which the Company
may borrow up to $20,000,000 secured by specified eligible
government contract receivables ($15,000,000) and other receivables
($5,000,000). The agreement requires the Company to maintain
compliance with certain covenants and will expire on the earlier of
July 23, 1996 or the refinancing of the existing Contract Receivable
Collateralized Notes. The Company utilized this credit facility
sporadically throughout the latter part of 1995, with maximum
borrowings of $5,500,000 in late August. There were no borrowings
under this line of credit at December 31, 1995. In the event that
the financing facility underlying the Contract Receivable
Collateralized Notes is expanded, the Company is required to pay down
the Citicorp North America, Inc. revolving credit facility.
During 1995, the Company repurchased or called all of the
outstanding 16% Junior Subordinated Debentures. The Company has
recorded an extraordinary loss of $2,886,000, net of an income tax
benefit of $1,900,000 consisting primarily of the write-off of
unamortized discount or deferred financing costs and also various
transaction costs. The Debentures were scheduled to mature on June
30, 2003, and bore interest at 16% per annum, payable semi-annually.
The Company could, at its option, prior to September 9, 1995, pay the
interest either in cash or issue additional Debentures. During 1994
and 1993, $15,329,000 and $13,142,000, respectively, of additional
Debentures were issued in lieu of cash interest payments (includes
$6,542,000 and $6,466,000 in 1994 and 1993 respectively, allocated to
discontinued operations).
The Company obtained title to its corporate office building on July
31, 1992 by assuming a mortgage of $19,456,000. The mortgage
maturity date was May 27, 1993; however, as provided, the Company
extended the mortgage to March 27, 1995 with an increase in the
interest rate of 1/2% per annum plus an extension fee. On February
7, 1995, the Company sold the building to RREEF America Reit Corp. C
and entered into a 12-year lease with RREEF as the landlord. The
facility was sold for $13,780,000 and the proceeds were applied to
the mortgage. A net gain of $3,430,000 was realized on the
transaction and is being amortized over the life of the lease. Since
the Company's intent was to discharge its obligation under the
mortgage with noncurrent assets, the amount was included in long-term
debt at December 31, 1994.
The Company acquired the Alexandria, VA headquarters of Technology
Applications, Inc. ("TAI") on November 12, 1993, in conjunction with
the acquisition of TAI. A mortgage of $3,344,000 bearing interest at
8% per annum was assumed. Payments are made monthly and the mortgage
matures in April 2003. Additionally, a $1,150,000 promissory note
was issued. The note bears interest at 7% per annum. Payments under
the note shall be made quarterly through October 1998.
Deferred debt issuance costs are being amortized using the
effective interest rate method over the terms of the related debt.
At December 31, 1995, unamortized deferred debt issuance costs were
$790,000 and amortization for 1995, 1994 and 1993 was $743,000,
$324,000 and $328,000, respectively.
(6) Accrued Expenses
At December 31, 1995 and 1994, accrued expenses consisted of the
following (in thousands):
1995 1994
Salaries and wages $42,063 $ 45,181
Insurance 14,921 9,564
Interest 4,541 4,716
Payroll and miscellaneous taxes 9,402 8,881
Accrued contingent liabilities and
operating reserves (see Note 20) 24,015 19,875
Other 5,210 7,265
$100,152 $ 95,482
(7) Redeemable Common Stock
Common stock which is redeemable has been reflected as temporary
equity at the redeemable value at each balance sheet date.
In conjunction with the acquisition of Technology Applications,
Inc. in November 1993, the Company issued put options on 125,714
shares of common stock. The holder may, at any time commencing on
December 31, 1998 and ending on December 31, 2000, sell these shares
to the Company at a price per share equal to the greater of $17.50;
or, if the stock is publicly traded, the market value at a specified
date; or, if the Company's stock is not publicly traded, the fair
value at the time of exercise. At December 31, 1995 and 1994,
125,714 shares of common stock were outstanding at a per share fair
value based on the control price (as described in the following paragraph) of
$18.10 at December 31, 1995 and $18.20 at December 31, 1994.
In accordance with ERISA regulations and the Employee Stock
Ownership Plan (the Plan) documents, the ESOP Trust or the Company is
obligated to purchase vested common stock shares from ESOP
participants (see Note 12) at the fair value (as determined by an
independent appraiser) as long as the Company's common stock is not
publicly traded. The shares initially bought by the ESOP in 1988
were bought at a "control price," reflecting the higher price that
buyers typically pay when they buy an entire company (as the ESOP and
other investors did in 1988). A special provision in the ESOP's 1988
agreement permits participants to receive a "control price" when they
sell these shares back to the Company under the ESOP's "put option"
provisions. This "control price," determined by the appraiser as of
December 31, 1995, was $18.10 per share. The additional shares
received by the ESOP in 1993 and 1994 were at a "minority interest
price," reflecting the lower price that buyers typically pay when
they are buying only a small piece of a company (as the ESOP did in
these years). Participants do not have the right to sell these
shares at the "control price." The minority interest price
determined by the independent appraiser as of December 31, 1995 was
$14.50 per share. Participants receive their vested shares upon
retirement, becoming disabled, or death, over a period of one to five
years and for other reasons of termination over a period of one to
ten years, all as set forth in the Plan documents. In the event the
fair value of a share is less than $27.00, the Company is committed
to pay through December 31, 1996, up to an aggregate of $16,000,000,
the difference (Premium) between the fair value and $27.00 per share.
As of December 31, 1995, the Company has purchased 617,236 shares
from participants and has expended $5,949,000 of the $16,000,000
commitment. Based on the fair values of $18.10 and $14.50 per share
at December 31, 1995, the Company estimates a total Premium of
$8,500,000 and an aggregate annual commitment to repurchase shares
from the ESOP participants upon death, disability, retirement and
termination as follows; $3,900,000 in 1996, $3,800,000 in 1997,
$4,700,000 in 1998, $6,000,000 in 1999, $6,600,000 in 2000 and
$78,032,000 thereafter. Under the Subscription Agreement with the
ESOP dated September 9, 1988, the Company is permitted to defer put
options if, under Delaware law, the capital of the Company would be
impaired as the result of such repurchase. The fair value is charged to
treasury stock at the time of repurchase. The estimated Premium of $8,500,000
has been recorded as Other Expense in the Consolidated Statements of
Operations in 1989 through 1994 (see Note 13). At December 31, 1995
and 1994, $2,551,000 and $4,121,000, respectively, of the estimated
Premium is included in Accrued Expenses and $100,481,000 and
$86,338,000 (3,535,195 and 2,516,802 shares outstanding at December
31, 1995 at fair values of $18.10 and $14.50 per share, respectively,
and 3,691,003 and 1,312,459 shares outstanding at December 31, 1994
at fair values of $18.20 and $14.60, respectively) is included in
Redeemable Common Stock.
Redeemable common stock held by management investors includes those
shares acquired by management investors pursuant to the merger in 1988,
shares earned through the Restricted Stock Plan (see Note 10) and
shares issued through the Management Employees Stock Purchase Plan
(the Stock Purchase Plan). The Stock Purchase Plan allowed employees
in management, supervisory or senior administrative positions to
purchase shares of the Company's common stock along with warrants at
current fair value. The Board of Directors was responsible for
establishing the fair value for purposes of the Stockholders
Agreement and the Stock Purchase Plan. The Stock Purchase Plan was
discontinued in 1994. Treasury stock, which the Company acquired
from terminated employees who had previously purchased shares from
the Company, was issued to employees purchasing stock under the Stock
Purchase Plan. Under the DynCorp Stockholders Agreement which expired on
March 11, 1994, the Company was committed, upon an employee's termination of
employment, to purchase common stock shares held by employees
pursuant to the merger, through the Stock Purchase Plan or through
the Restricted Stock Plan. If the Company's common stock becomes
publicly traded, the commitment by the Company to purchase these
shares is terminated. The share price at December 31, 1995 for the
Restricted Stock, Management Investor and Stock Purchase shares was
$14.50 per common share and $109.64 for each share for which warrants
have not been exercised (one share of common stock at $14.50 per
share plus 6.6767 warrants at $14.25 per warrant). However, the
Company may not purchase more than $250,000 of Management Investor
Shares or Restricted Stock shares in any fiscal year without the
approval of the Class C Preferred stockholders. In 1995, in
connection with the divestiture of the Commercial Aviation business
(see Note 2) and related management actions, the Company obtained the
approval of the Class C Preferred shareholder to repurchase
approximately 530,000 shares at a price of $14.90 per share. The
repurchase of substantially all of these shares was recorded in 1995. A new
stockholders agreement, adopted March 11, 1994, contains similar repurchase
obligations and expires March 10, 1999. On May 10, 1995, the Board
of Directors, with the consent of the Class C Preferred stockholder,
approved the establishment of an Internal Market as a replacement for
the resale procedures included in the DynCorp Stockholders Agreement.
The Internal Market permits eligible stockholders to sell shares of
common stock on four predetermined days each year. While the Company
is initiating the Internal Market in an effort to provide liquidity
to stockholders, there can be no assurance that there will be
sufficient liquidity to permit stockholders to resell their shares on
the Internal Market. At December 31, 1995, 1,387,330, 256,196 and
21,287 shares were outstanding at fair values of $14.50, $18.10 and
$109.64 per share, respectively, and at December 31, 1994, 1,664,966,
255,539 and 32,471 shares were outstanding at fair values of $14.60,
$18.20 and $110.41 per share, respectively.
Following are the changes in Redeemable Common Stock for the three
years ended December 31, 1995 (in thousands):

(8) Preferred Stock Class C
Class C Preferred Stock is convertible, at the option of the
holder, into one share of common stock, adjusted for any stock
splits, stock dividends or redemption. At conversion, the holder of
Class C Preferred Stock is also entitled to receive such warrants as
have been distributed to the holders of the common stock. Dividends
accrue at an annual rate of 18%, compounded quarterly. At December
31, 1995, cumulative dividends of $8,863,000 have not been recorded
or paid. Dividends will be payable only in the event of a
liquidation of the Company or when cash dividends are declared with
respect to common stock and only in an aggregate amount equal to the
aggregate amount of dividends that such holder would have been
entitled to receive if such Class C Preferred Stock had been
converted into common stock. The holder of Class C Preferred Stock
is entitled to one vote per share on any matter submitted to the
holders of common stock for stockholder approval. In addition, so
long as any Class C Preferred Stock is outstanding, the Company is
prohibited from engaging in certain significant transactions without
the affirmative vote of the holder of the outstanding Class C
Preferred Stock.
(9) Common Stock
Common stock includes those shares issued to outside investors and
shares issued through the Restricted Stock Plan, Management Employees
Stock Purchase Plan, the ESOP and Management Investor Shares which
have been purchased by the Company and are being held as treasury
stock (see Note 7).
(10) Common Stock Warrants and Restricted Stock
The Company initially issued warrants on September 9, 1988 to the
Class C Preferred stockholder and to certain common stockholders to
purchase a maximum of 5,891,987 shares of common stock of the
Company. The warrants issued to Class C Preferred stockholder and to
certain common stockholders were recorded at their fair value of
$2.43 per warrant and warrants issued to a lender were recorded at
$3.28 per warrant. Each warrant is exercisable to obtain one share
of common stock. The stockholder may exercise the warrant and pay in
cash the exercise price of $0.25 for one share of common stock or may
sell back to the Company a sufficient number of the exercised shares
to equal the value of the warrants to be exercised. During 1995,
74,670 warrants were exercised or canceled and 4,322,449 warrants
were outstanding at December 31, 1995. Rights under the warrants
lapse no later than September 9, 1998.
The Company had a Restricted Stock Plan (the Plan) under which
management and key employees could be awarded shares of common stock
based on the Company's performance. The Company initially reserved
1,023,037 shares of common stock for issuance under the Plan. Under
the Plan, Restricted Stock Units (Units) were granted to participants
who were selected by the Compensation Committee of the Board of
Directors. Each Unit entitled the participant upon achievement of
the performance goals (all as defined) to receive one share of the
Company's common stock. Units could not be converted into shares of
common stock until the participant's interest in the Units had
vested. Vesting occurred upon completion of the specified periods as
set forth in the Plan. In 1994 and 1993, the Company accrued as
compensation expense $1,222,000 and $2,235,000, respectively, under
the Plan which was charged to cost of services and selling and
corporate administrative expenses. At December 31, 1995 and December 31, 1994,
417,265 shares and 661,478 shares, respectively, were unissued and included in
Redeemable Common Stock - Management Investors (see Note 7).
(11) Cummings Point Industries, Inc. Note Receivable
The Company loaned $5,500,000 (the "Note") to Cummings Point
Industries, Inc. ("CPI"), of which Capricorn Investors, L.P.
("Capricorn") owns more than 10%. By separate agreement and as
security to the Company, Capricorn agreed to purchase the Note from
the Company upon three months' notice, for the amount of outstanding
principal plus accrued interest. As additional security, Capricorn's
purchase obligation was collateralized by certain common stock and
warrants issued by the Company and owned by Capricorn. The Note,
which had previously been reflected as a reduction in stockholders'
accounts, was paid in full in August, 1995.
(12) Employee Stock Ownership Plan
In September 1988, the Company established an Employee Stock
Ownership Plan (the Plan). The Company borrowed $100 million and
loaned the proceeds, on the same terms as the Company's borrowings,
to the Plan to purchase 4,123,711 shares of common stock of the
Company (the "ESOP loan"). The common stock purchased by the Plan
was held in a collateral account as security for the ESOP loan from
the Company. The Company was obligated to make contributions to the
Plan in at least the same amount as required to pay the principal and
interest installments under the Plan's borrowings. The Plan used the
Company contributions to repay the principal and interest on the ESOP
loan. As the ESOP loan was liquidated, shares of the Company's
common stock were released from the collateral account and allocated
to participants of the Plan. As of December 31, 1993, the loan was
fully repaid.
In accordance with subsequent amendments to the Employee Stock
Ownership Plan, the Company contributed an additional 25,000 shares
of common stock in December 1993 and in 1994 contributed cash of
$17,435,000 which the ESOP used to acquire 1,312,459 shares and to
pay interest and administrative expenses. In March, 1995, the
Company sold 1,208,059 additional shares of common stock to the ESOP
for a cash purchase price of approximately $18,000,000; the cash paid
was generated by a contribution from the Company of $4,250,000 and a
loan by the Company to the ESOP in the amount of $13,750,000 payable
in quarterly installments through 1996. Payments through December
31, 1995, were $17,497,000. To enable it to satisfy its loan
commitments, the Company is obligated to contribute cash to the ESOP.
The Plan covers a majority of the employees of the Company.
Participants in the Plan become fully vested after four years of
service. Of the 6,669,229 shares acquired by the ESOP, 6,635,466
have been either issued or allocated to participants as of December
31, 1995. The remaining shares, representing the unpaid balance on
the note receivable from the ESOP, have been reflected as a reduction
in stockholders' equity. The Company recognizes ESOP expense each
year based on the fair value of the shares committed to be released.
The Company's cash contributions were determined based on the ESOP's
debt service and other expenses. Stock contributions are determined
in accordance with the amended agreement. In 1995 and 1994, cash
contributions to the ESOP were $17,497,000 and $17,435,000,
respectively; 1993 cash and stock contributions were $16,608,000 and
$437,000 respectively. These amounts were charged to cost of
services and selling and corporate administrative expenses (including
interest on the ESOP term loan of $491,000 in 1993).

(a) The Company initally invested in this subsidiary in 1992.
In June 1994, the Company paid an additional $1,250,000 to
increase its holdings in the subsidiary from 40%
to 50.1% and the subsidiary concurrently borrowed $6.0 million
from another investor. The total acquisition cost exceeded
the underlying equity in net assets by $2,582,000. The
subsidiary's stockholders' agreement defined certain trigger
events which, upon their occurrence, transferred control of
the subsidiary from DynCorp to the other shareholders. These
trigger events occurred in the fourth quarter of 1994 and the
subsidiary's lenders called the loans in 1995. These actions,
coupled with financial and cash flow projections provided by
the subsidiary's management, have caused the Company to
determine that its investment has been permanently impaired.
As such, $3,250,000 representing the investment and excess
purchase price was charged to Other Expenses in 1994. The
investment was disposed of in 1995.
(b) In 1993, $470,000 of expenses were incurred and an accrual was
established for estimated future legal costs and possible
fines and penalties associated with a federal investigation of
an allegation that false statements were made in connection
with a pricing proposal submitted by an acquired business
prior to its acquisition in 1991. The investigation was
concluded in 1994 with the government finding no basis for
prosecution. As a consequence, the Company not only recovered
a portion of its prior expenses, but also avoided any fines
and penalties; consequently, the unused portion of the accrual
was reversed in 1994.
(c) Reserves for potential uninsured costs to defend and settle future
asbestos claims against a former subsidiary (see Note 20(a)). This
adjustment was recorded in the fourth quarter 1995 because of the
following events which occurred in that period.
(i) During November 1995, the subsidiary involved in the
asbestos litigation received two significant unfavorable
jury verdicts. (These cases are currently under appeal).
(ii) During the fourth quarter, the Company became aware of
approximately 1,100 additional law suits filed immediately
prior to the September 1, 1995 effective date of the Texas
Tort Reform Act. (The Company believes this surge
was attributable to the Texas tort reform legislation as
described in Note 20 (a).) The Company was not notified
of these cases until the fourth quarter of 1995 due
to an administrative backlog in the Texas court
system caused by the tremendous volume of cases filed
prior to the September 1, 1995 effective date of the
Texas tort reform legislation.
(iii) During the fourth quarter the Company received notification
from one of the subsidiary's primary insurance carriers
to the effect that the carrier considered its coverage to
be exhausted and that it was withdrawing its prior verbal
commitment to a negotiated settlement of its coverage
limits and obligations to defend.
These events precipitated a reassessment (increase) of the estimated
minimum claim liability and in a greater concern as to the full recovery
of all claims from the carriers. After consulting with its defense
counsel and professional advisors regarding its asbestos position,
the Company decided it was appropriate to record an additional $5.3
million accrual, increasing the overall accrual to $7.0 million.
(d) Reserves for the estimated costs (primarily legal defense) to
resolve a lawsuit filed by a subcontractor of a former subsidiary
(see Note 20(b)).
(e) The credit in 1993 is a combination of reductions of reserves
established in 1987 and 1988 for assumed liabilities and
losses on disposition of assets that the Company retained from
the discontinued and/or divested businesses in 1987 and 1989.
(f) The Company acquired certain assets of Science Management
Corporation ("SMC") for $1,851,000 on February 18, 1993 and
allocated $1,162,000 of the purchase price to goodwill and
$633,000 to contracts. In the fourth quarter of 1993, the
Company became aware of apparent misrepresentations by the
sellers with respect to the level of profitability and duration
of future performance of two major contracts which represented
approximately 85% of the future earnings of SMC anticipated at
the time of acquisition. The Company reconsidered the estimated future
undiscounted net income of SMC based on the revised facts and
determined that an impairment write-down was necessary. Based
upon this reassessment, $988,000 of the original goodwill was
written off and included in amortization of costs in excess of
net assets acquired. The remaining amount of goodwill is being
amortized over thirty years.

The Company's U.S. Federal income tax returns have been
audited through 1993. The Internal Revenue Service has completed
two examinations of the Company's tax returns; for the period
1985-1988 and for the period 1989-1993. The IRS proposed several
adjustments to both periods, the most significant of which
related to deductions taken by the Company for expenses incurred
in the 1988 merger. The Company and the IRS settled these
proposed adjustments for the 1985-1988 audit in 1994; however,
the Joint Congressional Committee on Taxation did not issue its
approval of the proposed settlement until December 7, 1995. The
Company and the IRS agreed upon the proposed adjustments of the
1989-1993 audit in 1995, and such proposal is currently under
review by the Joint Congressional Committee on Taxation. Tax
of $1.4 million was paid in 1995 for the 1985-1988 audit.
Remaining taxes and accrued interest associated with these two
audits, which have not yet been assessed, are approximately $2.3
million.
The benefit for income taxes in 1995 reflects a tax
provision based on an estimated annual effective tax rate,
excluding expenses not deductible for tax and the reversal of
$7.7 million of tax valuation reserves for deferred taxes which
will be realized in the 1995 tax return. These deferred taxes
are being realized primarily by offset against taxes that would
otherwise have been payable as a result of the taxable gain on
the sale of the discontinued operations. The 1994 federal tax benefit
resulted from the reversal of tax reserves for the IRS examination and
the tax benefit for operating losses, net of a valuation allowance,
less the federal tax provision of a majority owned subsidiary
required to file a separate return. The Federal tax
provision recognized in 1993 was only that of the majority owned
subsidiary referred to previously.
The Company has state net operating loss carryforwards
available to offset future taxable income. Following are the net
operating losses by year of expiration (in thousands):
Year of State Net

(15) Pension Plans
Union employees who are not participants in the ESOP are covered
by multiemployer pension plans under which the Company pays fixed
amounts, generally per hours worked, according to the provisions of
the various labor contracts. In 1995, 1994 and 1993, the Company
expensed $2,514,000, $2,367,000 and $2,321,000, respectively, for
these plans. Under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of
1974 as amended by the Multiemployer Pension Plan Amendments Act of
1980, an employer is liable upon withdrawal from or termination of a
multiemployer plan for its proportionate share of the plan's
unfunded vested benefits liability. Based on information provided
by the administrators of the majority of these multiemployer plans,
the Company does not believe there is any significant amount of
unfunded vested liability under these plans.
(16) Earnings (Loss) Per Common Share
Primary earnings or loss per share from continuing operations,
before extraordinary item, is computed by dividing earnings (loss),
after deducting the effect of the unpaid dividends on the Class C Preferred
Stock ($1,915,000 in 1995, $1,606,000 in 1994 and $1,347,000 in 1993)
by the weighted average number of common and dilutive common equivalent shares
outstanding during the period. In addition, shares earned and
vested but unissued under the Restricted Stock Plan are included as
outstanding common stock. For years 1994 and 1993, warrants
outstanding have been excluded from the calculation of loss per
share as their effect is antidilutive because of the losses incurred
during the periods (see also Note 10). For years 1995, 1994 and
1993, shares which would be issued under the assumed conversion of
Class C Preferred stock have been excluded from the calculation of
earnings per share as their effect is antidilutive. The average
number of shares used in determining primary earnings or loss per
share was 12,556,347 in 1995, 6,802,012 in 1994 and 5,141,319 for
1993.
(17) Incentive Compensation Plans
The Company has several formal incentive compensation plans which
provide for incentive payments to officers and key employees.
Incentive payments under these plans are based upon operational
performance, individual performance, or a combination thereof, as
defined in the plans. Incentive compensation expense was $6,692,000
for 1995, $7,067,000 for 1994 and $6,180,000 for 1993.
(18) Leases
Future minimum lease payments required under operating leases that
have remaining noncancellable lease terms in excess of one year at
December 31, 1995 are summarized below (in thousands):
Years Ending December 31,
1996 $ 9,762
1997 8,229
1998 7,147
1999 6,040
2000 1,778
Thereafter 8,471
Total minimum lease payments $41,427
Net rent expense for leases was $24,734,000 for 1995, $14,286,000
for 1994 and $10,425,000 for 1993.
(19) Acquisitions
On October 31, 1994, the Company acquired all of the issued and
outstanding shares of stock of CBIS Federal Inc. for a cash payment
of $8,159,000 subject to adjustment based on the closing balance
sheet. In June, 1995, the Company made a final payment to the
seller and in the fourth quarter, the allocation of the purchase
price was finalized. The acquisition was accounted for as a
purchase and $8,141,000 of goodwill and $2,500,000 of value assigned
to contracts was recorded which will be amortized over 40 years and
10 years, respectively.
Consolidated revenues, loss before extraordinary item, net loss
and loss per share for the year ended December 31, 1994, adjusted on
an unaudited pro forma basis as if the above acquisition had been
consummated at the beginning of the period are as follows (in
thousands except per share amounts):
Revenues $ 870,671
Loss before extraordinary item $ (12,050)
Net loss for common stockholders $ (13,656)
Net loss per common share $ (2.01)
(20) Contingencies and Litigation
The Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates are involved in
various claims and lawsuits, including contract disputes and claims
based on allegations of negligence and other tortious conduct. The
Company is also potentially liable for certain personal injury, tax,
environmental and contract dispute issues related to the prior
operations of divested businesses. In most cases, the Company and
its subsidiaries have denied, or believe they have a basis to deny,
liability, and in some cases have offsetting claims against the
plaintiffs, third parties or insurance carriers. The amount of
possible damages currently claimed by the various plaintiffs for
these items, a portion of which is expected to be covered by
insurance, aggregate approximately $120,000,000 (including
compensatory and possible punitive damages and penalties). This
amount includes estimates for claims which have been filed without
specified dollar amounts or for amounts which are in excess of
recoveries customarily associated with the stated causes of action;
it does not include any estimate for claims which may have been
incurred but which have not yet been filed. The Company has
recorded such damages and penalties that are considered to be
probable recoveries against the Company or its subsidiaries. These
issues are described below.
(a) A former acquired subsidiary, Fuller-Austin Insulation Company
(the subsidiary), which discontinued its business activities
in 1986, has been named as one of many defendants in civil
lawsuits which have been filed in various state courts
beginning in 1986 (principally Texas) against manufacturers,
distributors and installers of asbestos products. The
subsidiary was a nonmanufacturer that installed or distributed
industrial insulation products. The subsidiary had
discontinued the use of asbestos products prior to being
acquired by the Company in 1974. These claims are not part of
a class action.
The claimants generally allege injuries to their health caused
by inhalation of asbestos fibers. Many of the claimants seek
punitive damages as well as compensatory damages. The amount
of damages sought is impacted by a multitude of factors.
These include the type and severity of the disease sustained
by the claimant (i.e. mesothelioma, lung cancer, other types
of cancer, asbestosis or pleural changes); the occupation of
the claimant; the duration of the claimant's exposure to
asbestos-containing products; the number and financial
resources of the defendants; the jurisdiction in which the
claim is filed; the presence or absence of other possible
causes of the claimant's illness; the availability of legal
defenses such as the statute of limitations; and whether the
claim was made on an individual basis or as part of a group
claim.
Claim Exposure:
As of March 1, 1996, 8,630 plaintiffs have filed claims
against the subsidiary and various other defendants. Of these
claims 1,187 have been dismissed, 1,898 have been resolved
without an admission of liability at an average cost of $5,000
per claim (excluding legal defense costs) and an additional
2,606 claims have been settled in principle (subject to future
processing and funding) at an average cost of $1,950 per
claim. Following is a summary of claims filed against the
subsidiary through March 1, 1996:
Years
Prior 1993 1994 1995 1996(1) Total
Claims filed 2,160 668 1,026 4,647 129 8,630

Claims resolved (76)(1,142) (333) (182) (165) (1,898)
Settlements in process (2,606)
Claims outstanding at March 1, 1996 2,939
(1) January 1 - March 1, 1996
In connection with these claims the subsidiary's primary
insurance carriers have incurred approximately $16,300,000
(including $6,800,000 of legal defense costs but excluding
$5,100,000 for settlements in process) to defend and settle the
claims and, in addition, judgments have been entered against
the subsidiary for jury verdicts of $6,500,000 which have not
been paid and which are under appeal by the subsidiary.
Through December 31, 1995, the Company and the subsidiary have
charged to expense approximately $12,500,000 consisting of
$6,200,000 of charges under retrospectively rated insurance
policies and $6,300,000 of reserves for potential uninsured
legal and settlement costs related to these claims. These
charges substantially eliminate any further exposure for
retrospectively determined premium payments under the
retrospectively rated insurance policies.
During 1995, the subsidiary continued its strategy to require
direct proof that claimants had significant exposure to
asbestos as the result of the subsidiary's operations. This
has resulted in an increased level of trial activity. The
subsidiary believes that this strategy will have the near term
effect of increasing average per-case resolution cost but will
reduce the overall cost of asbestos personal injury claims in
the long run by limiting indemnity payments only to claimants
who can establish significant asbestos-related impairment and
exposure to the subsidiary's operations and by substantially
reducing indemnity payments to individuals who are unimpaired
or who did not have significant exposure to asbestos as a
result of the subsidiary's operations. Further, the level of
filed claims has become significant only since 1992, and
therefore, the subsidiary has a relatively brief history
(compared to manufacturers and suppliers) of claims volume and
a limited data file upon which to estimate the number or costs
of claims that may be received in the future. Also, effective
September 1, 1995, the State of Texas enacted tort reform
legislation which is believed to have caused a nonrecurring
surge in the volume of filed claims in 1995 immediately prior
to the effective date of the legislation.
The Company and its defense counsel have analyzed the 8,630
claim filings incurred through March 1, 1996. Based on this
analysis and consultation with its professional advisors, the
subsidiary has estimated its cost, including legal defense
costs, to be $20,000,000 for claims filed and still unsettled
and $40,000,000 as its minimum estimate of future costs of
unasserted claims, including legal defense costs. No upper
limit of exposure can presently be reasonably estimated. The
Company cautions that these estimates are subject to
significant uncertainties including the future effect of the
State of Texas enacted tort reform legislation, the size of
jury verdicts, success of appeals in process, the number and
financial resources of future plaintiffs, and the actions of
other defendants. Therefore, actual experience may vary
significantly from such estimates. At December 31, 1995 and
1994 (restated), the subsidiary recorded an estimated liability
for future indemnity payments and defense costs related to
currently unsettled claims and minimum estimated future claims
of $60,000,000 and $17,000,000, respectively (recorded as long-
term liability).
Insurance coverage:
Defense has been tendered to and accepted by the subsidiary's
primary insurance carriers, and by certain of the Company's
primary insurance carriers that issued policies under which the
subsidiary is named as an additional insured; however, only one
such primary carrier has partially accepted defense without a
reservation of rights. The Company believes that the
subsidiary has at least $12,000,000 in unexhausted primary
coverage (net of deductibles and self-insured retentions but
including disputed coverage) under its liability insurance
policies to cover the unsettled claims, verdicts and future
unasserted claims and defense costs. When the primary limits
are exhausted, liability for both indemnity and legal defense
will be tendered to the excess coverage carriers, all of which
have been notified of the pendency of the asbestos claims. The
Company and the subsidiary have approximately $490,000,000 of
additional excess and umbrella insurance that is generally
responsive to asbestos claims. This amount excludes
approximately $92,000,000 of coverage issued by insolvent
carriers of which $35,000,000 is the next insurance layer above
the Company's primary coverage carrier for policy years 1979
through 1984. All of the Company's and the subsidiary's
liability insurance policies cover indemnity payments and
defense fees and expenses subject to applicable policy terms
and conditions.
Coverage litigation:
The Company and the subsidiary have instituted litigation in
Los Angeles Superior Court, California, against their primary
and excess insurance carriers, to obtain declaratory judgments
from the Court regarding the obligations of the various
carriers to defend and pay asbestos claims. The issues in this
litigation include the aggregate liability of the carriers, the
triggering and drop-down of excess coverage and allocation of
losses covering multiple carriers and insolvent carriers, and
various other issues relating to the interpretation of the
policy contracts. All of the carrier defendants have filed
general denial answers. Legal and insurance experts retained by the
Company and the subsidiary have analyzed the insurance
policies, the history of coverage and insurance reimbursement
for these types of claims, and the outcome of unrelated
litigation involving identical policy language and factual
circumstances. The Company is also aware of the fact that the
insurance carriers have paid to date approximately $22 million
in asbestos legal defense and claim settlement costs which
represents 100% of such costs and which is consistent with the
Company's view of the enforceability of the policies.
Moreover, a recent appellate court decision involving insurance
company liability for asbestos claims comparable to those being
asserted against the subsidiary, gives further support to the
Company's position that all carriers have a liability to
indemnify the Company and the subsidiary for asbestos claims.
Based on these analyses and observations, management believes
that it is probable that the Company and the subsidiary will
prevail in obtaining judicial rulings confirming the availability
of a substantial portion of the coverage. Currently, the Company
has excess coverage under policies issued by solvent carriers of
approximately $490,000,000. Based on a review of the
independent ratings of these carriers, the Company believes that a
substantial portion of this coverage will continue to be
available to meet the claims. The subsidiary recorded in Other
Assets $60,000,000 and $17,000,000 (not including reserves of
$7,000,000 and $2,000,000, respectively) at December 31, 1995 and
1994 (restated), respectively, representing the amounts that it
expects to recover from its insurance carriers for the payment of
currently unsettled and estimated future claims.
The Company cautions, however, that even though the existence
and aggregate dollar amounts of insurance are not generally
being disputed, such insurance coverage is subject to
interpretation by the Court and the timing of the availability of
insurance payments could, depending upon the outcome of the
litigation and/or negotiation, delay the receipt of insurance
company payments and require the subsidiary to make interim payments
for asbestos defense and indemnity from reserves and insurance
settlement funds created as a result of settlements with
certain of the carriers.
While the Company and the subsidiary believe that they have
recorded sufficient liability to satisfy the subsidiary's
reasonably anticipated costs of present and future plaintiffs'
suits, it is not possible to predict the amount or timing of
future suits or the future solvency of its insurers. In the
event that currently unsettled and future claims exceed the
recorded liability of $60,000,000, the Company believes that
the judicially determined and/or negotiated amounts of excess
and umbrella insurance coverage that will be available to cover
additional claims will be significant; however, it is unable to
predict whether or not such amounts will be adequate to cover
all additional claims without further contribution by its
subsidiary.
(b) The Company has retained certain liability in connection with
its 1989 divestiture of its major electrical contracting
business, Dynalectric Company ("Dynalectric"). The Company and
Dynalectric were sued in 1988 in Bergen County Superior Court,
New Jersey, by a former Dynalectric joint venture
partner/subcontractor (subcontractor). The subcontractor has
alleged that its subcontract to furnish certain software and
services in connection with a major municipal traffic
signalization project was improperly terminated by Dynalectric
and that Dynalectric fraudulently diverted funds due,
misappropriated its trade secrets and proprietary information,
fraudulently induced it to enter the joint venture, and
conspired with other defendants to commit acts in violation of
the New Jersey Racketeering Influenced and Corrupt Organization
Act. The aggregate dollar amount of these claims has not been
formally recited in the subcontractor's complaint. Dynalectric
has also filed certain counterclaims against the former
subcontractor. The Company and Dynalectric believe that they
have valid defenses, and/or that any liability would be offset
by recoveries under the counterclaims. Discovery is ongoing;
no trial date has been scheduled. The Company believes that it
has established adequate reserves ($4,023,000 at December 31,
1995) for the contemplated defense costs and for the cost of
obtaining enforcement of arbitration provisions contained in
the contract.
(c) In November, 1994, the Company acquired an information
technology business which was involved in various disputes with
federal and state agencies, including two contract default
actions and a qui tam suit by a former employee alleging
improper billing of a federal government agency customer. The
Company has contractual rights to indemnification from the
former owner of the acquired subsidiary with respect to the
defense of all such claims and litigation, as well as all
liability for damages when and if proven. In October, 1995,
one of the federal agencies asserted a claim against the
subsidiary and gave the Company notice that it intended to
offset against the contract under which the claim arose. To
date, the agency has withheld approximately $3,300,000
allegedly due the agency under one of the aforementioned
disputes. The Company has submitted a demand for
indemnification to the former owner of the subsidiary which has
been denied. The Company has commenced arbitration of the
indemnification denial under the terms of the acquisition
agreement which the former owner is fighting in federal
district court. The Company expects to recover in full.
(d) As to environmental issues, neither the Company nor any of its
subsidiaries is named a potentially responsible party at any
site. The Company, however, did undertake, as part of the 1988
divestiture of a petrochemical engineering subsidiary, an
obligation to install and operate a soil and water remediation
system at a subsidiary research facility site in New Jersey.
The Company is required to pay the costs of continued operation
of the remediation system through 1996 which are estimated to
be $120,000 (see Note 13). In addition, the Company, pursuant
to the sale of the Commercial Aviation Business, is responsible
for the costs of clean-up of environmental conditions at
certain designated sites. Such costs may include the removal
and subsequent replacement of contaminated soil, concrete,
tanks, etc. that existed prior to the sale of the Commercial
Aviation Business (see Note 2).
(e) The Company is a party to other civil and contractual lawsuits
which have arisen in the normal course of business for which
potential liability, including costs of defense, which
constitute the remainder of the $120,000,000 discussed above.
The estimated probable liability for these issues is
approximately $10,000,000 and is substantially covered by
insurance. All of the insured claims are within policy limits
and have been tendered to and accepted by the applicable
carriers. The Company has recorded an offsetting asset (Other
Assets) and liability (long-term liability) of $10,000,000 at
December 31, 1995 for these items.
The Company has recorded its best estimate of the aggregate
liability that will result from these matters. While it is not
possible to predict with certainty the outcome of litigation and
other matters discussed above, it is the opinion of the Company's
management, based in part upon opinions of counsel, insurance in
force and the facts currently known, that liabilities in excess of
those recorded, if any, arising from such matters would not have a
material adverse effect on the results of operations, consolidated
financial position or liquidity of the Company over the long-term.
However, it is possible that the timing of the resolution of
individual issues could result in a significant impact on the
operating results and/or liquidity for an individual future
reporting period.
The major portion of the Company's business involves
contracting with departments and agencies of, and prime contractors
to, the U.S. Government, and such contracts are subject to possible
termination for the convenience of the government and to audit and
possible adjustment to give effect to unallowable costs under cost-
type contracts or to other regulatory requirements affecting both
cost-type and fixed-price contracts. In addition, the Company is
occasionally the subject of investigations by the Department of
Justice and other investigative organizations, resulting from
employee and other allegations regarding business practices. In
management's opinion, there are no outstanding issues of this nature
at December 31, 1995 that will have a material adverse effect on the
Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations or
liquidity.
(21) Business Segment
The Company has a minority investment in an unaffiliated
company in Saudi Arabia. Discussions are underway regarding the
sale of the Company's minority interest to one or more of the other
Saudi stockholders. In addition, the Company in 1993 established
operations in Mexico. None of these foreign operations is normally
material to the Company's financial position or results of
operations; however, in 1995 the Company's Mexican operations
incurred a loss of $4.4 million in connection with the efforts to expand
and to complete a contract for the design and installation of a large security
system in Mexico. These losses included such expenses as business development
and marketing expenses ($1.6 million), recognition of an estimated
loss at completion including currency devaluation losses for a
security system contract ($2.1 million), severance costs
associated with the reduction and realignment of the local
workforce ($.4 million), and a reserve for closing the operation
($.3 million). The contract loss resulted primarily from labor
overruns to install the security systems and the customer
refusing to pay the contract price in U.S. dollars as originally
agreed. These problems were discovered in the fourth quarter
pursuant to management changes initiated by DynCorp Corporate
office. The contract had a total contract value of $4.7 million
and is estimated to be completed in the second quarter of 1996.
The Company recorded revenues of $.5 million, $2.9 million and $0
and cost of services of $2.6 million, $2.6 million and $0 during
1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively, for the contract.
Approximately $3.1 million of costs, consisting
primarily of labor and costs to complete the contract ($2.1 million),
severance costs ($0.3 million) and operations closeout costs ($0.7
million) were accrued at December 31, 1995, and are expected to be
expended in 1996.
The largest single customer of the Company is the U.S. Government.
The Company had prime contract revenues from the U.S. Government of
$769 million in 1995, $723 million in 1994 and $663 million in 1993.
Included in revenues from the U.S. Government are revenues from the
Department of Defense of $504 million in 1995, $487 million in 1994
and $539 million in 1993. No other customer accounted for more
than 10% of revenues in any year.

- $1,830,000 credit for reversal of legal costs accrued in the fourth
quarter of 1993 (see Note 13)
- $4,069,000 reversal of income tax reserves (see Note 14)
(23) Subsequent Events
In March 1996, the Company amended and restated its existing $20.0 million
line of credit with Citicorp North America, Inc. to provide for a $50.0
million revolving credit facility which will provide working capital and
capital expenditures financing. The facility matures in four years, with no
payments required until the end of the second year. The credit agreement
contains the customary restrictive covenants for such a loan, but, if the
Company meets its projections, Management does not believe that any of the
covenants would be unduly restrictive.

3. Accounts Receivable
At December 31, 1992, the Company had sold $63,682,000 of
its accounts receivable to Dyn Funding Corporation (DFC), a
wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. DFC was established
in January, 1992 to issue $100,000,000 of Contract Receivable
Collateralized Notes (Notes) and to purchase eligible accounts
receivable from the Company and its subsidiaries. On an
ongoing basis, the cash received by DFC from collection of the
receivables is used to make interest payments on the Notes,
pay a servicing fee to the Company and purchase additional
receivables from the Company (see Note 5 to Consolidated
Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report
on Form 10-K).
The Company receives 97% of the face value of the accounts
receivable sold to DFC. The 3% discount from the face value
of the accounts receivable is recorded as an expense by the
Company at the time of sale. In 1995 and 1994, the Company
recorded as expense $16,406,000 and $16,032,000 which is
reflected in "Other" in the accompanying "Statements of
Operations" (in the "Consolidated Statements of Operations" of
DynCorp and Subsidiaries this expense is offset by the gain
recognized by DFC).

Item 14. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Section 102 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware
("GCL") allows a corporation to eliminate the personal liability of a director
to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of
fiduciary duty as a director, except in cases where the director breached his
duty of loyalty, failed to act in good faith, engaged in intentional misconduct
or a knowing violation of law, authorized the unlawful payment of a dividend or
approved an unlawful stock redemption or repurchase or obtained an improper
personal benefit. The Registrant's Amended and Restated Certificate of
Incorporation, a copy of which is filed as an exhibit to this Registration
Statement, contains a provision which eliminates directors' personal liability
as set forth above.
The Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Registrant
and the Bylaws of the Registrant provide in effect that the Registrant shall
indemnify its directors, officers and employees to the extent permitted by
Section 145 of the GCL. Section 145 of the GCL provides that a Delaware
corporation has the power to indemnify its officers and directors in certain
circumstances.
Subsection (a) of Section 145 of the GCL empowers a corporation to
indemnify any director or officer, or former director or officer, who was or is
a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or
completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal administrative or
investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation),
against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid
in settlement actually and reasonably incurred in connection with such action,
suit or proceeding provided that such director or officer acted in good faith in
a manner reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of
the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding,
provided that such director or officer had no cause to believe his or her
conduct was unlawful.
Subsection (b) of Section 145 empowers a corporation to indemnify any
director or officer, or former director or officer, who was or is a party or is
threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or
suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by
reason of the fact that such person acted in any of the capacities set forth
above, against expenses actually and reasonably incurred in connection with the
defense or settlement of such action or suit provided that such director or
officer acted in good faith and in a manner reasonably believed to be in or not
opposed to the best interests of the corporation, except that no indemnification
may be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such director
or officer shall have been adjudged to be liable for negligence or misconduct in
the performance of his or her duty to the corporation unless and only to the
extent that the Court of Chancery or the court in which such action was brought
shall determine that despite the adjudication of liability such director or
officer is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which
the court shall deem proper.
Section 145 further provides that to the extent a director or officer
of a corporation has been successful in the defense of any action, suit or
proceeding referred to in subsections (a) and (b) or in the defense of any
claim, issue or matter therein, he or she shall be indemnified against expenses
(including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in
connection therewith; that indemnification provided for by Section 145 shall not
be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which the indemnified party may be
entitled; and empowers the corporation to purchase and maintain insurance on
behalf of a director or officer of the corporation against any liability
asserted against him or her or incurred by him or her in any such capacity or
arising out of his or her status as such whether or not the corporation would
have the power to indemnify him or her against such liabilities under Section
145.

Gentlemen:
I am the Deputy General Counsel of DynCorp (the "Company"). As such, I
have acted as your counsel in connection with the Prospectus of the Company
covering the registration of offer and sale of 11,969,313 shares of its Common
Stock, par value $0.10 per share, (the "Common Stock"), which may be offered and
sold directly by the Company, sold by affiliates and other stockholders through
the limited market (the "Internal Market") maintained by DynEx, Inc., or issued
by the Company pursuant to the Company's 1995 Stock Option Plan, 1995 Employee
Stock Purchase Plan, 1996 Executive Incentive Plan, and Savings and Retirement
Plan (all such plans are hereinafter referred to collectively as the "Employee
Plans"). The Common Stock is being offered pursuant to a Prospectus which
constitutes a part of the Registration Statement on Form S-1, No. 33-59279,
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") on May 12,
1995, amended by Pre-Effective Amendment No. 1 thereto filed with the Commission
on October 6, 1995, by Pre-Effective Amendment No. 2 thereto filed with the
Commission on March 25, 1996, by Pre-Effective Amendment No. 3 thereto filed
with the Commission on May 6, 1996 and by Pre-Effective Amendment No. 4 thereto
to be filed with the Commission on May 10, 1996 (the "Registration Statement")
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act").
I am generally familiar with the affairs of the Company. In addition, I
have examined and am familiar with originals or copies, certified or otherwise
identified to my satisfaction, of (i) the Registration Statement, (ii) the
Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and By-Laws of the Company,
(iii) resolutions adopted by the Board of Directors relating to the filing of
the Registration Statement and the issuance of the Common Stock thereunder, (iv)
the Employee Plans, and (v) such other documents as I have deemed necessary or
appropriate as a basis for the opinions set forth below. In my examination, I
have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the legal capacity of natural
persons, the authenticity of all documents submitted to me as originals, the
conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to me as certified
or photostatic copies, and the authenticity of the originals of such copies.
Based upon and subject to the foregoing, I am of the opinion that:
1. The shares of Common Stock that are being offered and sold directly
by the Company through the Internal Market have been, or shall have
been, duly authorized for issuance and, when certificates therefor have
been duly executed, delivered, and paid for, will be legally issued,
fully paid, and nonassessable.
2. Any shares of Common Stock to be sold through the Internal Market
which are attributed to the Company have been, or shall have been, duly
authorized for issuance and are, or when issued will be, legally
issued, fully paid, and nonassessable.
3. The shares of Common Stock that are being issued pursuant to the
Employee Plans have been, or shall have been, duly authorized for
issuance and, when certificates therefor have been duly executed,
delivered and paid for in accordance with the terms of the Employee
Plans, will be legally issued, fully paid, and nonassessable.
I hereby consent to the use of my name in the Registration Statement
under the caption "Legal Opinion" and to the filing of this opinion as an
exhibit to the Registration Statement. In giving such consent, I do not thereby
admit that I come within the category of persons whose consent is required under
Section 7 of the Securities Act or the rules and regulations of the Commission
thereunder.
