NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of
Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and
footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting
of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have
been included. Operating results for the three and nine month periods ended
September 30, 1995 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be
expected for the year ended December 31, 1995. For further information refer to
the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the VSE
Corporation annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1994.
(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include VSE Corporation ("VSE" or the
"company"), CMstat Corporation ("CMstat"), Energetics Incorporated
("Energetics"), Human Resource Systems, Inc. ("HRSI"), Schmoldt Engineering
Services ("Schmoldt Engineering"), VSE Corona, Inc. ("VCI"), VSE Services
Corporation ("VSES"), and Value Systems Services ("VSS") and BAV, unincorporated
divisions of VSE. All significant intercompany transactions have been
eliminated in consolidation. Certain prior year balances have been reclassified
for comparative purposes.
(2) CMstat Corporation Acquisition
On May 31, 1995 the company acquired all of the outstanding stock of CMstat
Corporation, a leading developer and supplier of commercial off-the-shelf
configuration and product data management solutions, for approximately $970
thousand in cash. CMstat designs, manufactures, and supports the software
developed for commercial and government customers. The acquisition was
accounted for by the purchase method of accounting. The results of operations
since May 31, 1995 are included in these financial statements. The company has
recorded intangible assets of $2.4 million allocating approximately $400
thousand of Goodwill, $1.2 million of intangible assets and $800 thousand of
deferred taxes thereon. These allocations are based on preliminary estimates
made by management. The allocations to intangible assets may be revised at a
later date, however, the impact of the differences, if any, in the final alloca-
tions are not expected to have a material impact on the financial statements.
Goodwill and intangible assets are being amortized by the straight-line method
over periods from seven to ten years.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(3) Energetics Incorporated Acquisition
On August 29, 1995 the company acquired all of the outstanding stock of
Energetics Incorporated ("Energetics") for approximately $3.7 million.
Energetics assists government and industry in conducting effective technology
programs, primarily in the fields of energy use and the environment. Principal
clients include the U. S. Department of Energy, other U. S. Government prime
contractors, public utilities, universities, and not-for-profit corporations and
associations. The acquisition was accounted for by the purchase method of
accounting. The results of operations for the period August 29, 1995 through
September 24, 1995 and the balance sheet as of September 24, 1995 are included
in these financial statements. The company has recorded intangible assets of
$1.6 million consisting of approximately $1.5 million of goodwill and $100
thousand of intangible assets. These allocations are based on preliminary
estimates made by management. The allocations to intangible assets may be
revised at a later date, however, the impact of the differences, if any, in the
final allocations are not expected to have a material impact on the financial
statements. Goodwill and intangible assets are being amortized by the straight-
line method over periods from one to 15 years.
(4) BAV Division
On August 17, 1995 the company was notified that BAV was awarded a contract with
the U. S. Navy to provide engineering, technical and logistical support services
associated with the sale, lease, or transfer of Navy ships to foreign
governments. The contract is a cost plus award fee contract with a base year
and nine option years. The total potential value of the contract is
approximately $1 billion. In September 1995 the contract award was protested
and the protest is currently under review by the General Accounting Office
("GAO"). BAV continues to perform under the contract during the protest period.

At September 30, 1995, VSE had a revolving term loan agreement (the "Loan") with
a bank whereby VSE could borrow up to $8 million, subject to a borrowing base
formula and certain other conditions and covenants. Interest was charged on
amounts borrowed under the Loan at the prime rate of interest established by the
VSE CORPORATION
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
bank or at an optional federal funds based rate. A commitment fee of was
charged on the average unused portion of the loan commitment. Borrowings were
secured by VSE assets. The termination date of the Loan was May 31, 1997.
Other debt is related to debt assumed in the acquisitions of CMstat and
Energetics and will be extinguished by the end of 1996.
On October 26, 1995, the original revolving term loan agreement was replaced
with a new revolving term loan agreement (the "Current Loan") with a syndicate
of three banks. Under the Current Loan, VSE can borrow up to $45 million,
subject to a borrowing formula based on billed receivables. Interest is charged
at a prime-based rate or at an optional LIBOR-based rate. A commitment fee is
charged on the unused portion of the loan commitment. The prime-based rate and
the LIBOR-based rate and the amount of the commitment fee increase or decrease
as VSE's leverage ratio increases or decreases. The Current Loan contains
collateral requirements similar to those in the original Loan and restrictive
covenants that include minimum tangible net worth and profitability requirements
and a limit on annual dividendse. The termination date of the Current Loan is
May 31, 1997.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The results of operations includes the operations of VSE Corporation ("VSE" or
the "company"), CMstat Corporation ("CMstat"), acquired in May of 1995,
Energetics Incorporated ("Energetics"), acquired in August of 1995, Human
Resource Systems, Inc. ("HRSI"), Schmoldt Engineering Services Company
("Schmoldt Engineering"), VSE Corona, Inc. ("VCI"), VSE Services Corporation
("VSES"), and Value Systems Services ("VSS") and BAV, unincorporated divisions
of VSE, all of which operate principally in the engineering, software
development, testing, and management services industry. Intercompany sales are
principally at cost.
Revenues for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 1995 increased
by about 34% and 10%, respectively, compared to the same periods of 1994. The
increase in revenues is primarily due to: the increase in services performed by
VSS associated with the VSS Navy contract (see discussion about the "VSS
Contract" below), revenues associated with the acquisition of CMstat and
Energetics, and an increase in sales of materials and subcontract services by
VSE.
Pretax income for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 1995
increased by about 13% and 3%, respectively, compared to the same periods of
1994. The increase in pretax income is primarily due to an increase in profits
associated with the additional revenues provided by the VSS Navy contract and
the income of CMstat and Energetics.
The largest customer for the engineering services rendered by the company is the
U. S. Department of Defense ("Defense"), including agencies of the U. S. Army,
Navy, and Air Force. The Defense budget has been restrained by the federal
budget deficit in recent years, and as a result of this and increased
competition,VSE's engineering services revenues have decreased from the levels
attained in prior years. There can be no assurance that future reductions in
VSE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
Management Discussion and Analysis
the Defense budget will not have a material adverse impact on the company's
revenues, results of operations, and financial position.
Substantially all of the company's revenues from continuing operations depend on
the exercise of option periods and the satisfaction of incremental funding
requirements on current contracts, on current contracts not being terminated for
the convenience of the Government, and on the incremental funding requirements
on current contracts. In 1995 and 1994 the company did not experience any
termination of contracts for the convenience of the Government or any non-
exercise of option periods on current contracts which were material to the
company's business.
BAV Contract. In August 1995, the BAV Division of VSE was awarded a contract
with the U. S. Navy to provide engineering, technical and logistical support
services associated with the sale, lease or transfer of Navy ships to foreign
governments. BAV began work on the contract, however, the contract award was
protested and the protest is currently under review by the General Accounting
Office ("GAO"). BAV continues to perform under the contract during the protest
period. This contract has the potential, if all options are exercised, to
generate revenues in excess of one billion dollars over a ten year period from
1995 to 2005.
VSE Contracts. VSE has a contract with the U. S. Navy which accounted for
approximately 18% of consolidated revenues for the nine month period ended
September 30, 1995. This contract was scheduled to expire in September 1992,
but was extended through September 1995. The Navy had announced that it
intended to combine the work performed under this contract with other related
work, and VSE had been informed that it was not the successful bidder for the
new contract. Substantially all work on the contract ended by September 30,
1995. The company has been able to replace the contract with new contracts and
continues to look for opportunities to support the affected workforce.
VSE has another contract with the U. S. Navy which accounted for approximately
13% of revenues for the nine month period ended September 30, 1995. Revenues
for this contract have increased substantially compared to prior years due to
increased requirements for materials and subcontract work. Although work on
the contract is expected to continue through its completion date of September
1996, future levels of materials sales and subcontract work are not expected to
continue at the increased levels experienced during the nine months ended
September 30, 1995.
VSS Subcontract. Beginning in January 1992, VSS provided services to the U. S.
Marine Corps under a subcontract. The subcontract generated revenues to VSS
equal to about 8% of VSE's consolidated revenues for the nine month period
VSE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
Management's Discussion and Analysis
ended September 30, 1994. A protest against the award of the prime contract was
sustained by the General Accounting Office, and in October 1993, a new prime
contract was awarded to a different contractor. Substantially all work on the
VSS subcontract terminated effective April 23, 1994. There is no revenue
associated with this subcontract during 1995.
VSS Contract. In February 1994 VSS was awarded a new contract with a U. S. Navy
customer. In September 1994 VSS began work on the contract. The contract
generated revenues to VSS equal to approximately 12% of consolidated revenues
during the nine month period ended September 30, 1995.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
A net decrease in cash and cash equivalents of approximately $2.6 million during
the nine month period ended September 30, 1995, resulted from approximately $5.4
million in cash used in investing activities, approximately $3.6 million in cash
provided by financing activities and approximately $800 thousand used in
operations.
Investing activities consisted primarily of cash payments of approximately $3.7
million associated with the investment in Energetics, $970 thousand associated
with the investment in CMstat Corporation and $815 thousand associated with the
purchase of property and equipment. Financing activities consisted primarily of
the company's revolving term loan of $3.6 million. Cash used in operations
consisted primarily of an increase in accounts receivable due primarily to the
acquisitions and several significant material purchases under a contract at the
end of the quarter offset by an increase in net income, reduced accounts payable
and accrued expenses.
The company's principal requirements for cash are to finance the costs of
operations pending the collection of accounts receivable, to acquire capital
assets for office and computer support, and to pay cash dividends. As of
September 30, 1995, VSE had borrowings of approximately $3.6 million outstanding
under its $8 million bank loan. Execution on the BAV contract described above
is expected to substantially increase the company's requirements for cash,
however, management believes that the cash flows from operations and a new $45
million bank loan commitment that was executed on October 26, 1995 are adequate
to meet current operating cash requirements.
VSE's requirements for working capital are affected significantly by its
revenues and accounts receivable, which arise primarily from billings made by
the company to the U. S. Government or other prime contractors for services
rendered. Such accounts receivable generally do not present liquidity or
collection problems. Working capital is also affected by (a) contract
retainages, (b) start-up and termination costs associated with new or complete
contracts, (c) capital equipment requirements, and (d) differences between the
provisional billing rates authorized by the government compared to the costs
actually incurred by the company.
VSE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
Management's Discussion and Analysis
Government contracts generally require VSE to pay for material and subcontract
costs included in VSE's contract billings prior to receiving payment for such
costs from the Government. However, such contracts generally provide for
progress payments on a monthly or semimonthly basis, thereby reducing
requirements for working capital.
Cash dividends were declared at $.24 per share during the nine month period
ended September 30, 1995. Pursuant to its bank loan agreement, the payment of
cash dividends is subject to annual rate restrictions. VSE has paid cash
dividends each year since 1973.
Inflation and Pricing Policy
Most of the contracts performed by VSE provide for estimates of future labor
coststo be escalated for any future option periods provided by the contracts,
while the non-labor costs included in such contracts are normally considered
reimbursable at the then current cost. VSE property and equipment consists
principally of computer systems equipment and furniture and fixtures. The
overall impact of inflation on replacement costs of such property and equipment
is expected to be insignificant.

(b) Reports on Form 8-K.
On August 18, 1995, the Registrant filed a Current Report on Form
8-K reporting on an award of a cost-plus-award-fee contract to BAV by the U. S.
Navy to provide engineering, technical, and logistics support services for
various classes of U. S. ships bought, leased, or otherwise transferred to
foreign governments. The initial value of the contract is approximately $202
million. If all options are exercised by the Government, the total contract
value is estimated to be in excess of one billion dollars over a ten year
period.
On September 13, 1995, the Registrant filed a Current Report on Form
8-K reporting the acquisition of Energetics Incorporated ("Energetics") of
Columbia, Maryland on August 29, 1995. The Registrant acquired all of the
outstanding capital stock for $3.7 million pursuant to a Stock Purchase
Agreement.
