Versar, Inc. Announces 1Q FY 2010 Financial Results

Although gross revenue was comparable to the same period last year, the Company experienced a decrease in net income attributable to losses from a poor economic environment and one-time expenses related to renovations of our chemical agent laboratory. The Company's first quarter numbers were also impacted by an expected decline in revenue from the International Program Management Group. The Compliance and Environmental Group was hurt by budget shortfalls in its state and municipal work, and the National Security Group's laboratory was closed the majority of this period for renovations.

Dr. Ted Prociv, President and CEO of Versar said, "The worldwide economic downturn has put pressure on our financial performance resulting in flat year on year revenue. We have continued to make investments in new growth markets such as U.S. based construction management, telecom related construction and munitions disposal management which are beginning to show results and are expected to positively impact the remainder of the fiscal year. We expect these investments to offset the anticipated decline in our International Program Management revenue." Dr. Prociv continued, "Although our international revenue is below last year's level it remains an important part of our business and we were recently awarded contract extensions in the amount of $18.6 million for work in Iraq and Afghanistan that will profitably fund our program through April of 2010."
