Third Quarter 2010 Financial Performance

Revenue for the third quarter of 2010 was $0.5 million, compared to $2.1 million in the third quarter of 2009. Consulting revenue from US government clients, represented by our Government practice, was $0.4 million, or 85% of revenue, in the third quarter of 2010, compared to $0.5 million, or 23% of revenue, in the third quarter of 2009. We had no consulting revenue from commercial clients, represented by our Commercial and European practices in the third quarter of 2010, compared to $1.3 million, or 62% of revenue, in the third quarter of 2009. Reimbursement of expenses was $0.1 million, or 15% of revenue in the third quarter of 2010, compared to $0.3 million, or 15% of revenue in the third quarter of 2009.

Revenue for the first nine months of 2010 was $3.2 million, compared to $8.0 million in the first nine months of 2009. Consulting revenue from US government clients was $1.3 million, or 41% of revenue, in the first nine months of 2010, compared to $1.9 million, or 24% of revenue, in the first nine months of 2009.

Gross Margins

Gross profit margins for the third quarter of 2010 were 32%, compared to 34% for the third quarter of 2009. Gross profit margins for the first nine months of 2010 were 27%, compared to 38% for the first nine months of 2009. The drop in the quarterly and year-to-date gross margins is related to the significant slowdown of our government and commercial programs during the first nine months of 2010, to lower utilization rates of our consultants in the first nine months of 2010, and to lower pricing on some engagements in this period.

Selling, General & Administrative (SG&A)

SG&A costs for the third quarter of 2010 were $1.7 million, compared to $2.6 million in the third quarter of 2009. The $0.9 million decrease is related primarily to a $0.8 million decrease in payroll costs due to the decline in the number of consultants employed, a $0.1 million decrease in travel related expenses, a $0.1 million decrease in bad debt expense, and a $0.2 million decrease in other costs due to a decline in activity as compared to the same period in 2009, offset by a $ 0.2 million increase in sales commissions and executive bonus due to the reversal of executive bonus in the third quarter of 2009, and $0.1 million increase in stock-based compensation during the third quarter of 2010.
