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 adjust-
ments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair
presentation have been included. Operating results for the six month period
ended June 30, 1996 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be
expected for the year ending December 31, 1996. 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, 1995.
Stockholder's Investment
Stockholder's Investment and Earnings Per Share
On April 17, 1996, VSE announced a two for one stock split in the form of a 100%
stock dividend payable to stockholders of record as of May 15, 1996. The stock
dividend was made on May 22, 1996. All share and per share amounts have been
adjusted to give retroactive effect to the increased number of common shares
outstanding due to the stock split.
Stock Option Plan
In February 1996, the company's Stock Option Plan (the "Plan") was adopted by
the Board of Directors and approved by the company's stockholders on May 4,
1996. Under the plan, stock options may be granted for up to an aggregate of
218,958 shares of the common stock of the company. The maximum term of the
options granted is five years. The option price is equal to the fair market
value per share of common stock on the date of grant. The vesting period is
three years and allows for 25% vesting immediately upon date of the grant and
an additional 25% on each successive anniversary date after the grant date.
Vesting may be accelerated for shares granted to certain individuals as deter-
mined by the Board of Directors.
As of June 30, 1996, options covering 131,380 shares were granted, of which
32,845 shares were exercisable at fair market value of $13.64 per share.
FAS 123
In October 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensa-
tion" ("FAS 123"). The expense recognition provision encouraged by FAS 123
would require fair-value based financial accounting to recognize compensation
expense for employee stock compensation plans. The company has determined that
it will elect the disclosure-only alternative and accordingly the company will
be required to disclose the pro forma net income or loss and per share amounts
in the notes to the financial statements using the fair value based method.
Companies are not required to include pro forma disclosures in interim financial
data. The company has not yet determined the impact of these pro forma adjust-
ments.

Discontinued Operation
On February 7, 1996, VSE sold its wholly owned subsidiary Schmoldt Engineering
Services Company ("Schmoldt Engineering"). Under the terms of the transaction,
VSE sold all of the outstanding capital stock of Schmoldt Engineering to certain
officers of Schmoldt Engineering in exchange for $100 thousand in cash and a
$300 thousand promissory note for which principal and interest is payable in
monthly installments between March 1, 1996 and September 1, 2001. The transac-
tion resulted in a pretax loss of approximately $293 thousand to VSE which was
recorded in the first quarter.
The consolidated financial statements of the company have been reclassified to
report separately the net assets and operating results of the discontinued
operations. Financial results for periods prior to the dates of discontinuance
have been restated to reflect continuing operations.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The discussion and analysis which follows is intended to assist in understanding
and evaluating the results of continuing operations, financial condition, and
certain other matters of VSE Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiaries
("VSE" or the "company"), CMstat Corporation ("CMstat"), acquired in May 1995,
Energetics Incorporated ("Energetics"), acquired in August 1995, Human Resource
Systems, Inc. ("HRSI"), and Value Systems Services Division ("VSS") and BAV
Division ("BAV"), unincorporated divisions of VSE. The company is engaged
principally in providing engineering, software development, testing, and
management services to the U. S. Government (the "government"). VSE Corona,
Inc. ("VCI") and VSE Services Corporation ("VSES") have generally been inactive
after 1992. Intercompany sales are principally at cost and have been eliminated
from the consolidated financial statements.
Revenues from continuing operations for the three and six month periods ending
June 30, 1996 increased by approximately 45% and 34%, respectively, compared to
the same periods of 1995. The increase in revenues is primarily due to the new
work performed by BAV in 1996 (see the discussion about the "BAV Contract"
below) and to the inclusion of the revenues of CMstat and Energetics in 1996.
The increase in revenues was offset by the loss of one of VSE's major contracts.
(See the discussion about "VSE Navy Contract" below).
Pretax income from continuing operations for the three and six month periods
ended June 30, 1996 increased by approximately 46% and 26%, respectively,
compared to the same period of 1995. The increase in pretax income is primarily
due to profit associated with the revenues from continuing operations of BAV,
CMstat, and Energetics. The increase in pretax profits was partially offset by
the reduced profits of VSE, primarily attributable to the loss of the VSE Navy
Contract, and by increased administrative expenses due to the amortization of
goodwill and other intangible assets associated with the acquisitions of CMstat
and Energetics.
VSE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
Management Discussion and Analysis
The largest customer for the 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, resulting in increased competition for contracts for
the services performed by VSE. There can be no assurance that future reduc-
tions in the Defense budget will not have a materially adverse impact on the
company's results of operations or financial position.
Substantially all of the company's revenues from operations depend on the award
of new contracts, on current contracts not being terminated for the convenience
of the government, and on the exercise of option periods and the satisfaction of
incremental funding requirements on current contracts. In 1996 and 1995 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 results of operations or financial position.
BAV Contract. In August 1995, VSE's BAV Division 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 govern-
ments. BAV began work on the contract in September 1995. 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 through 2005.
VSE Navy Contract. VSE had a contract with the U. S. Navy which accounted for
approximately 18% of total revenues for the six month period ended June 30,
1995. The Navy combined the work performed under this contract with other
related work under a new contract, and VSE was not the successful bidder for
the new contract. Substantially all work on the contract ended in September
1995.
Discontinued Operation
On February 7, 1996, VSE sold its wholly owned subsidiary Schmoldt Engineering
Services Company ("Schmoldt Engineering"). Under the terms of the transaction,
VSE sold all of the outstanding capital stock of Schmoldt Engineering to certain
officers of Schmoldt Engineering in exchange for $100 thousand cash and a $300
thousand promissory note for which principal and interest is payable in monthly
installments between March 1, 1996 and September 1, 2001. The transaction
resulted in a pretax loss of approximately $293 thousand to VSE during the first
quarter of 1996.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
A net decrease in cash and cash equivalents of approximately $300 thousand
during the six months ended June 30, 1996 resulted from approximately $3.6
million provided by financing activities, approximately $3.6 million used in
operating activities and approximately $300 thousand used in investing
activities. Significant financing activities included borrowing on the
company's revolving term loan, including commitments for checks outstanding,
of approximately $3.8 million. Cash flows from operating activities declined
by approximately $3.1 million as compared to the same period of 1995 primarily
due to the additional accounts receivable associated with BAV, CMstat and
Energetics in 1996. Significant investing activities included approximately
$800 thousand net cash used to purchase property and equipment, which was offset
by approximately $100 thousand cash and $400 thousand change in net assets
provided by the divestiture of Schmoldt Engineering.
A net decrease in cash and cash equivalents of approximately $1.9 million during
the six months ended June 30, 1995 resulted from approximately $1.3 million used
in investing activities, approximately $500 thousand used in operating activi-
ties and approximately $100 thousand used in financing activities. Significant
VSE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
Management Discussion and Analysis
investing activities included approximately $1 million associated with the
acquisition of CMstat and approximately $500 thousand used to purchase property
and equipment. Significant financing activities included the payment of cash
dividends of approximately $100 thousand.
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. Performance
of work under the BAV contract is expected to substantially increase the
company's requirements for cash, however, management believes that the cash
flows from operations and the bank loan commitment are adequate to meet current
operating cash requirements.
VSE's requirements for working capital are affected significantly by its reve-
nues and accounts receivable, which are primarily from billings made by the
company to the government or other government prime contractors for services
rendered. Such accounts receivable generally do not present liquidity or col-
lection problems. Working capital requirements are also affected by (a) con-
tract 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 and to the
costs actually incurred by the company.
Government contracts require VSE to pay for 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.
Quarterly cash dividends at the rate of $.0425 per share were declared during
the three month periods ended March 31 and June 30, 1996. Pursuant to its bank
loan agreement, the payment of cash dividends by VSE is subject to a maximum
annual rate. VSE has paid cash dividends since 1973.
Inflation and Pricing Policy
Most of the contracts performed by VSE provide for estimates of future labor
costs to be escalated for any option periods provided by the contracts, while
the non-labor costs included in such contracts are normally considered reim-
bursable at cost.
VSE property and equipment consists principally of computer systems equipment
and furniture and fixtures. The impact of inflation on replacement costs of
such property and equipment is expected to be insignificant.
