Gross revenue in the Program Management business segment for fiscal year 2009 was $71,526,000, an increase of $2,630,000 (4%) over that reported in fiscal year 2008. A majority of the increase is attributable to efforts to support both the Air Force and the Army in Iraq as part of the reconstruction efforts as well as new construction management work being performed in the United Arab Emirates. Gross revenue for the Program Management business segment for fiscal year 2008 was $68,896,000, an increase of $10,131,000 (17%) over that reported in fiscal year 2007. The increase is attributable to the Company's continued efforts to support both the Air Force and the Army in Iraq as part of the reconstruction support efforts. Gross revenue for the Compliance and Environmental Programs business segment for fiscal year 2009 were $19,649,000, a decrease of $10,780,000 (35%) over that reported in fiscal year 2008. Approximately 80% of the decrease was due to decreased work for municipal aquatic facilities as a result of the global economic business downturn which has significantly impacted our municipal clients capital expenditure budgets. The balance of the shortfall is also primarily related to reduced spending due to poor economic conditions by other clients of the Compliance and Environmental business segment. Gross revenue for the Compliance and Environmental Programs business segment for fiscal year 2008 was $30,429,000, an increase of $590,000 (2%) over that reported in fiscal year 2007. The increases are primarily attributable to increased work for municipal aquatic facilities. Gross revenue for the Professional Services business segment for fiscal year 2009, were $11,476,000, an increase of $3,375,000 (42%) over that reported in fiscal year 2008. Gross revenue for the Professional Services business segment for fiscal year 2008 was $8,101,000, an increase of $783,000 (11%) over that reported in fiscal year 2007. The increases in both periods are attributable to additional professional service work obtained from the U.S. Army to provide additional personnel in support of their missions. Gross revenues from the National Security business segment for fiscal year 2009 were $9,545,000, an increase of $1,369,000 (17%) over that reported in fiscal year 2009. The increase is attributable to increased personal protective suit sales as well as increased chemical laboratory testing during fiscal year 2009. The business management approach changed to focus on sustainable revenue streams to reduce business fluctuations and have more predictable revenue streams and improving operating margins in this business segment. Gross revenue for the National Security business segment for fiscal year 2008 was $8,176,000, an increase of $1,372,000 (20%) over that reported in fiscal year 2007. The increase in fiscal year 2008 is attributable to higher commercial laboratory testing work coupled with a decline in the level of activity in this segment during fiscal year 2007.

Purchased services and materials, primarily subcontractors, in fiscal year
2009 were $60,583,000, a decrease of $7,924,000 (12%) over that reported in
fiscal year 2008. The decrease was the result of the decline in acquatic
facility work in the Compliance and Environmental business segment in fiscal
year 2009 as a result of the economic downturn. In fiscal year 2008, purchased
services increased by $5,757,000 (9%) over that reported in fiscal year 2007.
The increase was due to higher subcontracted work in the Program Management
business segment.
Direct costs of services and overhead include the cost to Versar of direct
and overhead staff, including recoverable and unallowable costs that are
directly attributable to contracts. Direct costs of services and overhead
increased by $3,826,000 (11%) in fiscal year 2009 compared to that reported in
fiscal year 2008. Direct costs of services in fiscal year 2008 increased by
$4,153,000 (14%) over that reported in fiscal year 2007. The increase in fiscal
year 2009 is attributable to the continuing changes in the Company's business
mix among the business segments creating a demand for additional Professional
Services personnel as well as increased National Security business volume
resulting in increased staffing in those segments. The increase in fiscal year
2008 is attributable to the increase in overall business volume across all
business segments in fiscal year 2008 to support the business growth of the
Company.
Gross profit for fiscal year 2009 was $14,480,000, an increase of $692,000

Gross profit for fiscal year 2009 in the Program Managements business segment was $10,467,000, an increase of $1,069,000 (11%) over that reported in fiscal year 2008. Gross profit in fiscal year 2008 for the Program Management business segment increased by $2,361,000 (34%) over that reported in fiscal year 2007. The increase in both periods are primarily due to increased gross revenue and improved operating margins. Gross profit for fiscal year 2009 in the Compliance and Environmental business segment was $884,000, a decrease of $1,506,000 (63%) over that reported in fiscal year 2008. Gross profit in fiscal year 2008 for the Compliance and Environmental business segment increased by $77,000 (3%) over that reported in fiscal year 2007. Approximately 40% of the decrease in 2009 is due to the decline in municipal aquatic facility work in fiscal year 2009. The remaining balance of the decrease is due to the poor economic conditions in the United States economy impacting our municipal clients. Gross profit for fiscal year 2009 in the Professional Services business segment was $1,734,000, an increase of $444,000 (34%) over that reported in fiscal year 2008. Gross profit in fiscal year 2008 for the Professional Services business segment increased by $33,000 (3%) over that reported in fiscal year 2007. The 2009 increase was due to the increased gross revenues during fiscal year 2009. Gross profit for fiscal year 2009 in the National Security business segment was $1,395,000, an increase of $685,000 (96%) over that reported in fiscal year 2008. Gross profit in fiscal year 2008 for the National Security business segment increased by $495,000 (230%) over that reported in fiscal year 2007. The increases are primarily due to increased gross revenue in fiscal years 2009 and 2008.
ITEM 7 Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations (continued)
Selling, general and administrative expenses for fiscal year 2009 were
$8,876,000, an increase by $579,000 (7%) over that reported in fiscal year 2008.
Selling, general and administrative expenses in fiscal year 2008 increased by
$1,628,000 (24%) over that reported in fiscal year 2007. The increases in fiscal
year 2009 are primarily due to increased business development activity for
future business growth as well as increased Sarbanes Oxley compliance costs.
Operating income for fiscal year 2009 was $5,604,000, an increase of $113,000
(2%) over that reported in fiscal year 2008. Operating income for fiscal year
2008 increased by $1,338,000 (32%) over that reported in fiscal year 2007. The
slight increase in fiscal year 2009 was due to the improved financial
performance in three out of four of the Company's business segments, which was
in part offset by poor performance in the Compliance and Environmental business
segment. The increase in fiscal year 2008 was primarily due to increased gross
revenues and improved operating margins during fiscal year 2008.
During fiscal year 2009, the Company recorded a $328,000 loss on marketable
securities that the Company was holding in the FISCO Income Plus Fund. The FISCO
fund received an immediate demand margin call from its broker, UBS. Rather than
allow the fund the customary time to satisfy the margin call at the end of the
day, UBS demanded the fund cover all calls and puts at high premiums immediately
or indicated it would take control of the fund and start liquidating the fund.
The fund has terminated its relationship with UBS and transferred the assets to
a new custodian. The fund is currently taking legal action against UBS to cover
its losses. The Company has participated in any recovery from such action to
date. During the remaining periods of fiscal year 2009, the Company recovered
$24,000 of the initial loss before the funds were liquidated from the FISCO
fund. The Company has liquidated its remaining assets from marketable securities
and now holds them in depository accounts with its primary bank due to the
volatile nature of the market.
Interest expense for fiscal year 2009 was $36,000, compared to interest
income of $173,000 in fiscal year 2008. The increase in interest expense was due
to costs associated with capital leases and the financing of insurance premiums
and the lower federal prime rate of interest resulting in no offsetting interest
income received on funds held by the Company in its bank depository account due
to the lower federal prime rate.
Income tax expense for fiscal year 2009 was $2,071,000, a decrease of
$202,000 compared to that reported for fiscal year 2008. Income tax expense for
fiscal year 2008 increased by $3,378,000 over that reported in fiscal year 2007
primarily due to the release of the Company's tax valuation allowance during
fiscal year 2007 resulting in a tax benefit of $1,105,000 for fiscal year 2007.
During fiscal year 2007, the Company was carrying a valuation allowance against
its deferred tax assets. In the third quarter of fiscal year 2007, the Company
re-evaluated the need for the valuation allowance. Because of the Company's
continued improved financial performance over the prior three years, management
believes that the Company would be able to utilize the full benefit of the
deferred tax asset. The effective tax rates were 39.5% and 40.1% for fiscal
years 2009 and 2008, respectively.
In summary, Versar's net income for fiscal year 2009 was $3,169,000 compared
to $3,391,000 in fiscal year 2008 and $5,282,000 in fiscal year 2007. The
reduction of net income is primarily attributable due to the loss from the FISCO
fund in the first quarter of fiscal year 2009 as mentioned above.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company's working capital as of June 26, 2009 was approximately
$25,513,000, an increase of 15%. In addition, the Company's current ratio at
June 26, 2009 was 3.04, compared to 2.67 reported on June 27, 2008. The
Company's financial ratios have continued to improve due to the Company's strong
financial performance during fiscal year 2009. Accounts receivables increased by
approximately $6 million primarily due to changes in contract vehicles that have
caused payment delays.
The Company has a line of credit facility with United Bank (the Bank) that
provides for advances up to $7.5 million based upon qualifying receivables.
Interest on borrowings is based upon the prime rate of interest less 1/2%.
Borrowing rates at June 26, 2009 and June 27, 2008 were 2.75% and 4.5%,
respectively. The Company currently has a stand by letter of credit of $455,147,
which serves as collateral for surety bond coverage provided by the Company's
insurance carrier against project construction work. The letter of credit
reduces the Company's borrowing base on the line of credit. The line of credit
capacity as of June 26, 2009 was approximately $7.0 million. Obligations under
the credit facility are guaranteed by the Company and each subsidiary
individually and collectively are secured by accounts receivable, equipment and
intangibles, plus all insurance policies on property constituting collateral.
The line of credit matures in November 2009. The Company is in the process of
seeking a renewal of the line of credit facility with United Bank. The Company
has obtained a commitment letter from United Bank to extend its line of credit
to September 30, 2010. The line of credit is and will continue to be subject to
certain covenants related to the maintenance of financial ratios. These
covenants require a minimum tangible net worth of $22.5 million; a maximum total
liabilities to tangible net worth ratio not to exceed 2.5 to 1; and a minimum
current ratio of at least 1.25 to 1. Borrowings under the renewed line of credit
will be at prime less 1/2% with a floor interest rate of 3.5%. Failure to meet
the covenant requirements gives the Bank the right to demand outstanding amounts
due under the line of credit, which may impact the Company's ability to finance
its working capital requirements. As of June 26, 2009, the Company had no
outstanding borrowings and was in compliance with the financial covenants.
The Company believes that with its current cash balance of over $8 million
along with anticipated cash flows from operations, working capital will be
sufficient to meet the Company's liquidity needs within the next fiscal year.
Expected capital requirements for fiscal year 2010 are approximately $1,000,000,
primarily for upgrades to maintain the Company's existing information technology
systems. Such capital requirements will be funded through existing working
capital.
As part of the Company's diversification and expansion efforts, the Company
has provided short term financing to two business partners to help accelerate
those business opportunities within fiscal year 2010. See footnotes D, Notes
Receivable, and M, Subsequent Events, of the financial statements for further
details.
ITEM 7 Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued) Contractual Obligations At June 26, 2009, the Company has short-term and long-term obligations of approximately $13,341,000, including short-term obligations of approximately $3,146,000 which will become due over the next twelve months in fiscal year 2010.

Critical Accounting Policies and Related Estimates That Have a Material Effect
on Versar's Consolidated Financial Statements
Below is a discussion of the accounting policies and related estimates that
we believe are the most critical to understanding the Company's consolidated
financial position and results of operations which require management judgments
and estimates, or involve uncertainties. Information regarding our other
accounting policies is included in the notes to our consolidated financial
statements included elsewhere in this report on Form 10-K.
Revenue recognition: Contracts in process are stated at the lower of actual
costs incurred plus accrued profits or incurred costs reduced by progress
billings. 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.
The Company records income from major fixed-price contracts, extending over more
than one accounting period, using the percentage-of-completion method. During
the performance of such contracts, estimated final contract prices and costs are
periodically reviewed and revisions are made as required. Fixed price contracts
can be significantly impacted by changes in contract performance, contract
delays, liquidated damages and penalty provisions, and contract change orders,
which may affect the revenue recognition on a project. Revisions to such
estimates are made when they become known. Detailed quarterly project reviews
are conducted with project managers to review all project progress accruals and
revenue recognition.
There is the possibility that there will be future and currently
unforeseeable adjustments to our estimated contract revenues, costs and margins
for fixed price contracts, particularly in the later stages of these contracts.
Such adjustments are common in the construction industry given the nature of the
contracts. These adjustments could either positively or negatively impact our
estimates due to the circumstances surrounding the negotiations of change
orders, the impact of schedule slippage, subcontractor claims and contract
disputes which are normally resolved at the end of the contract.
Allowance for doubtful accounts: Disputes arise in the normal course of 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 and collectibility. Such
disputes, whether claims or unapproved change orders in process of negotiation,
are recorded at the lesser of their estimated net realizable value or actual
costs incurred and only when realization is probable and can be reliably
estimated.
ITEM 7 Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations (continued)
Management reviews outstanding receivables on a quarterly basis and assesses the
need for reserves, taking into consideration past collection history and other
events that bear on the collectibility of such receivables. All receivables over
60 days old are reviewed as part of this process.
Net deferred tax asset: The Company has approximately $1.5 million in net
deferred tax assets as of June 26, 2009. During the third quarter of fiscal year
2007, the Company released the entire $2.95 million tax valuation allowance that
was previously established against such assets due to the improved earnings and
likelihood of realizing such deferred tax assets in future periods.
Asset retirement obligation: During fiscal year 2007, the Company recorded an
asset retirement obligation associated with the estimated clean-up costs for its
chemical laboratory in its National Security business segment. In accordance
with SFAS 143, the Company estimated the costs to clean up the laboratory and
return it to its original state at a present value of approximately $497,000.
The Company currently estimates the amortization and accreation expense to be
approximately $180,000 to $190,000 per year over the next 1 1/2 years. The
Company is rigorously pursuing reimbursement for such costs and other costs from
the U.S. Army as a significant portion of the chemical agent that was used in
the chemical laboratory was government owned. If the Company determines that the
estimated clean up cost is larger than expected or the likelihood of recovery
from the U.S. Army is remote, such adjustments will be reflected when they
become known in accordance with SFAS 143. At June 26, 2009, the Company has
accrued approximately $586,000 long-term liability to clean up the chemical
laboratory.
Goodwill and other intangible assets: The carrying value of goodwill is
approximately $776,000 relating to the acquisition of Versar Global Solutions,
Inc., which is now part of the Program Management business segment. The Program
Management business segment was broken out separately in fiscal year 2007,
primarily due to the increase in business volume in Iraq and in the United
States construction related work. In performing its goodwill impairment
analysis, management has utilized a market-based valuation approach to determine
the estimated fair value of the Program Management business segment. Management
