Note 1.
Nature of Business and Significant Accounting Policies
Nature of business:
STG Group, Inc. (formerly, Global
Defense & National Security Systems, Inc. or GDEF) and its subsidiaries (collectively, the Company) was originally incorporated
in Delaware on July 3, 2013 as a blank check company, with Global Defense & National Security Holdings LLC (“Global Defense
LLC” or the “Sponsor”) as Sponsor, formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset
acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization, exchangeable share transaction or other similar business combination. On November
23, 2015, the Company consummated its business combination with STG Group Holdings, Inc. (formerly, STG Group, Inc. or “STG
Group”) pursuant to the stock purchase agreement, dated as of June 8, 2015, which provided for the purchase of all the capital
stock of STG Group by the Company (the “Business Combination”). In connection with the closing of the Business Combination,
the Company ceased to be a shell company in accordance with its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation. The Company
also changed its name from Global Defense & National Security Systems, Inc. to STG Group, Inc. The Company’s common stock
trades over-the-counter on the OTCQB exchange, under the symbol “STGG”.
The Company provides enterprise engineering, telecommunications,
information management and security products and services to the federal government and commercial businesses. Segment information
is not presented since all of the Company’s revenue is attributed to a single reportable segment.
Basis of presentation:
The accompanying unaudited condensed
consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
for interim financial reporting 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. For additional information, including the
Company’s significant accounting policies, refer to the consolidated financial statements and related footnotes in the Company’s
consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K as of and for the year ended December
31, 2016.

Note 1.
|
Nature of Business
and Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
|
In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary
for a fair statement of financial results have been made. Such adjustments consist of only those of a normal recurring nature.
Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, are not necessarily indicative of the results that
may be expected for the entire fiscal year.
Figures are expressed in thousands
of dollars unless otherwise indicated
.
Use of estimates:
The
preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets
and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements. Actual
results could differ from those estimates.
Significant estimates embedded in the consolidated financial
statements for the periods presented include revenue recognition on fixed-price contracts, the allowance for doubtful accounts,
the valuation and useful lives of intangible assets, the length of certain customer relationships, useful lives of property, plant
and equipment, valuation of a Rabbi Trust and related deferred compensation liability. Estimates and assumptions are also used
when determining the allocation of the purchase price in a business combination to the fair value of assets and liabilities and
determining related useful lives.
Going concern:
The accompanying consolidated financial
statements have been prepared using the going concern basis of accounting, which contemplates the realization of assets and the
satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.
The Company was not in compliance with its financial covenants
related to the consolidated EBITDA and the senior secured leverage ratio under the Credit Agreement among the Company, MC Admin
Co LLC (the “Lender”) and the other lenders party thereto (the “Credit Agreement”) at September 30, 2016,
December 31, 2016, March 31, 2017, and June 30, 2017, and was also not in compliance with its financial covenant related
to the fixed charge coverage ratio under the Credit Agreement (collectively with the consolidated EBITDA and senior secured leverage
ratio covenants, the “Specified Financial Covenants”) at June 30, 2017. At September 30, 2016, the non-compliance
was cured by raising equity from stockholders (“Equity Cure”) as was allowed by the Credit Agreement. At December
31, 2016 the Company received a forbearance which expired on March 31, 2017. The Company then entered into a Limited Waiver (“the
Waiver”) from MC Admin Co LLC and other lenders under the Credit Agreement as of March 31, 2017, pursuant to which
the lenders waived the Company’s non-compliance with the covenants related to the consolidated EBITDA, and the senior secured
leverage ratio as of December 31, 2016. Pursuant to the Waiver:
|
•
|
Loans under the Credit Agreement are subject to additional interest at a rate of 2% per annum until the earliest of (x) the date on which all loans are repaid and all commitments under the Credit Agreement are terminated, (y) the date the Company delivers the financial statements and certificates for the quarter ending March 31, 2017 showing that they are not in default under the Credit Agreement or (z) the date on which default interest is otherwise due under the Credit Agreement;

|
Nature of Business
and Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
|
|
•
|
The Company must obtain lender consent prior to use of its revolving credit facility; and
|
|
•
|
The Company could not effect a Cure Right with respect to the quarter ending March 31, 2017.
|
The Company was not in compliance with the covenants related
to the consolidated EBITDA and the senior secured leverage ratio for quarter ended March 31, 2017 and was not in compliance with
the Specified Financial Covenants for the quarter ended June 30, 2017. The Lender has not granted a waiver for the covenant violations
as of March 31, 2017 and June 30, 2017. Without a waiver or other relief under the Credit Agreement, one of the remedies the Lender
has available to it, amongst others, is the ability to accelerate repayment of the debt, which the Company would not be able to
immediately repay.
If the business continues to perform at the current level through
the next quarter, the Company does not expect to satisfy the Specified Financial Covenants at that time, and it is likely that
the Company will be in non-compliance at September 30, 2017. The Company’s inability to meet the required covenant levels
could have a material adverse impact to the Company, including the need for the Company to effect an additional Cure Right or
obtain additional forbearance or an amendment, waiver, or other changes in the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement does not
allow the Company to exercise the Cure Right in consecutive fiscal quarters, more than three fiscal quarters in the aggregate,
or in more than two of any four fiscal quarters. The amount allowed under the Cure Right may not exceed the lesser of $2.5 million
and 20% of consolidated EBITDA. The aggregate of Cure Rights may not exceed $5 million.
The Lender’s not having granted a waiver or other relief
from the Lender and the potential acceleration of the debt by the Lender resulted in the reclassification of debt from a long-term
liability to a current liability as of March 31, 2017 and June 30, 2017.
Even if the Lender does grant forbearance or an amendment to
or waiver under the Credit Agreement, any future covenant non-compliance could give rise to an event of default thereunder.
In addition, on May 18, 2017, the Company received a notice
of default (the “Default Notice”) from MC Admin Co LLC (“MC Admin”) that states the Company was in default
under the Credit Agreement for failing to deliver an annual budget to the lenders on January 15, 2017 as required by the Credit
Agreement (the “Budget Delivery Default”). The Company believes this notice is incorrect, as the Company previously
provided the required information to the lenders on February 7, 2017. The Default Notice stated that MC Admin was not taking action
to enforce the lenders’ rights under the Credit Agreement at this time, although it also provided that, as a result of the
default, the lenders had no obligations under the Credit Agreement to provide any additional loans or letters of credit. The Lender
has not granted a waiver or other relief from the Budget Delivery Default.
The potential acceleration of the loan repayment due to the
Lender not providing a waiver required the Company to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt regarding the Company’s
ability to continue as a going concern.
Management’s Plan to alleviate this condition is as follows:
|
1.
|
Identify, qualify, and win new business to increase revenue and profits,
|
|
2
|
Raise additional equity which would be used to reduce the loan, or
|
|
3.
|
Renegotiate the current Credit Agreement to obtain relief from the existing financial covenants and other terms.
|
As discussed in our Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March
31, 2017, based on the facts that existed as of December 31, 2016, management determined that it was probable that the condition
giving rise to the going concern evaluation had been sufficiently alleviated as of December 31, 2016. However, the Lender has
not currently granted a waiver or other relief for the Budget Delivery Default or the financial covenant violations as of March
31, 2017 or June 30, 2017. Consequently, management has changed our assessment regarding the potential acceleration of the loan
repayment made as of December 31, 2016. As the Lender has not currently granted a waiver or other form of relief for the financial
covenant violations as of March 31, 2017 or June 30, 2017, and as disclosed above, sent us a default letter on May 18, 2017, there
exists substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern, in the event the Lender exercises its rights to accelerate
the repayment of the loan.
These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments
to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets and liabilities that may result in the
Company not being able to continue as a going concern.
Revenue recognition:
Revenue is recognized when persuasive
evidence of an arrangement exists, services have been rendered or goods delivered, the contract price is fixed or determinable
and collectability is reasonably assured. Revenue associated with work performed prior to the completion and signing of contract
documents is recognized only when it can be reliably estimated and realization is probable. The Company bases its estimates on
previous experiences with the customer, communications with the customer regarding funding status and its knowledge of available
funding for the contract.
Revenue on cost-plus-fee contracts is recognized to the extent
of costs incurred plus a proportionate amount of the fee earned. The Company considers fixed fees under cost-plus-fee contracts
to be earned in proportion to the allowable costs incurred in performance of the contract. The Company considers performance-based
fees, including award fees, under any contract type to be earned when it can demonstrate satisfaction of performance goals, based
upon historical experience, or when the Company receives contractual notification from the customer that the fee has been earned.
Revenue on time-and-materials contracts is recognized based on the hours incurred at the negotiated contract billing rates, plus
the cost of any allowable material costs and out-of-pocket expenses. Revenue on fixed-price contracts is primarily recognized using
the proportional performance method of contract accounting. Unless it is determined as part of the Company’s regular contract
performance review that overall progress on a contract is not consistent with costs expended to date, the Company determines the
percentage completed based on the percentage of costs incurred to date in relation to total estimated costs expected upon completion
of the contract. Revenue on other fixed-price service contracts is generally recognized on a straight-line basis over the contractual
service period, unless the revenue is earned, or obligations fulfilled, in a different manner.
Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are
made in the period in which such losses are determined and are recorded as forward loss liabilities in the consolidated financial
statements. Changes in job performance, job conditions and estimated profitability may result in revisions to costs and revenue
and are recognized in the period in which the revisions are determined.

Multiple agencies of the federal government directly or indirectly
provided the majority of the Company’s contract revenue during the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016. For the six
months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, there were two customers that each provided revenue in excess of 10% of total revenue. These
customers accounted for approximately 82% and 80% respectively, of the Company’s total revenue for the six months ended
June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The same customers accounted for approximately 83% and 80% of the Company’s total
revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.
Federal government contract costs, including indirect
costs, are subject to audit and adjustment by the Defense Contract Audit Agency. Contract revenue has been recorded in amounts
that are expected to be realized upon final settlement.
Costs of revenue:
Costs of revenue include all direct
contract costs, as well as indirect overhead costs and selling, general and administrative expenses that are allowable and allocable
to contracts under federal procurement standards. Costs of revenue also include costs and expenses that are unallowable under applicable
procurement standards and are not allocable to contracts for billing purposes. Such costs and expenses do not directly generate
revenue, but are necessary for business operations.
There was one vendor that comprised approximately 11% of total
direct expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and approximately 11% and 12% of total direct expenses for the
three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively.
Investments held in Rabbi Trust:
The Company has investments
in mutual funds held in a Rabbi Trust that are classified as trading securities. Management determines the appropriate classification
of the securities at the time they are acquired and evaluates the appropriateness of such classifications at each balance sheet
date. The securities are classified as trading securities because they are held for resale in anticipation of short-term (generally
90 days or less) fluctuations in market prices. The trading securities are stated at fair value. Realized and unrealized gains
and losses and other investment income are included in other income (expense) in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements
of operations.
Contract receivables:
Contract receivables are generated
primarily from prime and subcontracting arrangements with federal governmental agencies. Billed contract receivables represent
invoices that have been prepared based on contract terms and sent to the customer. Billed accounts receivable are considered past
due if the invoice has been outstanding more than 30 days. The Company does not charge interest on accounts receivable; however,
federal governmental agencies may pay interest on invoices outstanding more than 30 days. The Company records interest income from
federal governmental agencies when received. All contract receivables are on an unsecured basis.
Unbilled amounts represent costs
and anticipated profits awaiting milestones to bill, contract retainages, award fees and fee withholdings, as well as amounts currently
billable
.
In accordance with industry practice, contract receivables relating
to long-term contracts are classified as current, even though portions of these amounts may not be realized within one year.
Management determines the allowance for doubtful accounts by
regularly evaluating individual customer receivables and considering a customer’s financial condition, credit history and
current economic conditions. Management has recorded an allowance for contract receivables that are considered to be uncollectible.
Both billed and unbilled receivables are written off when deemed uncollectible. Recoveries of receivables previously written off
are recorded when received.

Valuation of long-lived assets:
The Company accounts
for the valuation of long-lived assets, including amortizable intangible assets, under authoritative guidance issued by the Financial
Accounting Standards Board (FASB), which requires that long-lived assets and certain intangible assets be reviewed for impairment
whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of the long-lived
assets is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of the asset to future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated
by the assets. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which
the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the estimated fair value of the assets.
During the three months ended June 30, 2017,
the Company performed an interim impairment test of its intangible assets and concluded that no impairment existed. During the
three and six months ended June 30, 2016 there were no adverse changes in long-lived assets which caused a need for an impairment
analysis.
Identifiable intangible assets:
Intangible assets of
the Company are comprised of customer relationships and a trade name acquired as a result of the Business Combination. The Company
determined that the customer relationships and trade name represent finite-lived intangible assets with useful lives of eight and
fifteen years, respectively. The assets are being amortized proportionately over the term of their useful lives based on the estimated
economic benefit derived over the course of the asset life.
Goodwill:
The Company records the excess of the purchase
price of an acquired company over the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired as goodwill. In accordance with authoritative
guidance issued by the FASB, entities can elect to use a qualitative approach to test goodwill for impairment. Under this approach,
the Company performs a qualitative assessment (Step Zero) to determine whether it is more-likely-than-not that the fair value
of the reporting unit is less than the carrying value. Prior to the adoption of ASU 2017-04, if the fair value of the reporting
unit was less than the carrying value of the reporting unit, the Company was required to perform a goodwill impairment test
using
a two-step approach, which was performed at the reporting unit level. In the second step, the implied value of the goodwill was
estimated at the fair value of the reporting unit, less the fair value of all other tangible and identifiable intangible assets
of the reporting unit. If the carrying amount of the goodwill exceeded the implied fair value of the goodwill, an impairment charge
was recognized in the amount equal to that excess, not to exceed the carrying amount of the goodwill. If the fair value of the
reporting unit was not less than the carrying value of the reporting unit, the two-step goodwill test was not required.
During the second quarter
of 2017, the Company early adopted ASU 2017-04,
Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350) Simplifying the Test for Goodwill
Impairment
. In accordance with the guidance in ASU 2017-04, an entity should perform its annual or interim, goodwill impairment
test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An entity should recognize an impairment charge
for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value; however, the loss recognized should
not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit.
Application of the goodwill impairment test requires judgment,
including the identification of reporting units, assignment of assets and liabilities to reporting units, assignment of goodwill
to reporting units and determination of the fair value of each reporting unit. The fair value of a reporting unit is estimated
using a discounted cash flow methodology. This analysis requires significant judgments, including estimation of future cash flows,
which is dependent on internal forecasts, estimation of the long-term rate of growth for the business, estimation of the useful
life over which cash flows will occur and determination of the weighted-average cost of capital. This discounted cash flow analysis
is corroborated by a top-down analysis, including a market assessment of enterprise value.
The Company has elected to perform its annual analysis on December
31 each year at the reporting unit level and, as of the Closing Date of the Business Combination, the Company determined that
there was one reporting unit. During the six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company was unable to achieve its targeted revenue
and profit forecasts; therefore, the Company recorded an impairment charge on goodwill of $21.1 million. If the Company is unable
to achieve revenue growth and increased profitability, future impairment tests may result in an additional goodwill impairment
charge, which could be material.

Income taxes:
The Company accounts for income taxes
under FASB ASC Topic 740,
Income Taxes
(ASC 740). At the end of each interim period, the Company estimates an annualized
effective tax rate expected for the full year based on the most recent forecast of pre-tax income, permanent book and tax differences,
and tax planning strategies. The Company uses this effective rate to provide for income taxes on a year-to-date basis, excluding
the effect of significant, unusual, discrete or extraordinary items, and items that are reported net of their related tax effects.
The Company records the tax effect of significant, unusual, discrete or extraordinary items, and items that are reported net of
their tax effects in the period in which they occur.
In accordance with authoritative guidance on accounting for
uncertainty in income taxes issued by the FASB, management has evaluated the Company’s tax positions and has concluded that
the Company has taken no uncertain tax positions that require adjustment to the quarterly condensed consolidated financial statements
to comply with the provisions of this guidance.
Interest and penalties related to tax matters are recognized
in expense. There was no accrued interest or penalties recorded during the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016.
Fair value of financial instruments
The carrying value
of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents, contract receivables, line-of-credit, accounts payable and other short-term liabilities
are believed to approximate fair value as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively, because of the relatively short
duration of these instruments. The Company also assessed long-term debt and determined that such amounts approximated fair value
primarily since its terms and interest approximate current market terms for a comparable market participant and was negotiated
with an unrelated third party lender. The Company considers the inputs related to these estimates to be Level 2 fair value measurements.
Certain assets and liabilities are recorded at fair value. Fair
value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability between market participants
in an orderly transaction on the measurement date. The market in which the reporting entity would sell the asset or transfer the
liability with the greatest volume and level of activity for the asset or liability is known as the principal market. When no principal
market exists, the most advantageous market is used. This is the market in which the reporting entity would sell the asset or transfer
the liability with the price that maximizes the amount that would be received or minimizes the amount that would be paid. Fair
value is based on assumptions market participants would make in pricing the asset or liability. Generally, fair value is based
on observable quoted market prices or derived from observable market data when such market prices or data are available. When such
prices or inputs are not available, the reporting entity should use valuation models.
The Company’s assets recorded at fair value on a recurring
basis are categorized based on the priority of the inputs used to measure fair value. Fair value measurement standards require
an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs (such as quoted prices in active markets) and minimize the use of unobservable
inputs (such as appraisals or other valuation techniques) to determine fair value. The inputs used in measuring fair value are
categorized into three levels, as follows:
|
Level 1:
|
Inputs that are based upon quoted prices for identical
instruments traded in active markets.
|
|
Level 2:
|
Inputs that are based upon quoted prices for similar
instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar investments in markets that are not active, or models based
on valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market or can be corroborated by observable
market data for substantially the full term of the investment.
|
|
Level 3:
|
Inputs that are generally unobservable and typically
reflect management’s estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. The
fair values are therefore determined using model-based techniques that include option pricing models, discounted cash flow models
and similar techniques. As of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company has no financial assets or liabilities that are
categorized as Level 3.

The Company has investments carried at fair value in mutual
funds held in a Rabbi Trust, which is included in investments held in Rabbi Trust on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance
sheets. The Company does not measure non-financial assets and liabilities at fair value unless there is an event which requires
this measurement.
Financial credit risk:
The Company’s assets that are exposed to credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, investments held in
Rabbi Trust and contract receivables. Cash and cash equivalents are deposited with high-credit, quality financial institutions
whose balances may, at times, exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such amounts and believes
that it is not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash and cash equivalents. Investments held in Rabbi Trust are stated
at fair value at each reporting period and are subject to market fluctuations. Contract receivables consist primarily of amounts
due from various agencies of the federal government or prime contractors doing business with the federal government. Historically,
the Company has not experienced significant losses related to contract receivables and, therefore, believes that the credit risk
related to contract receivables is minimal
.
Debt issuance costs:
The Company applies the provisions
of Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2015-03,
Interest – Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation
of Debt Issuance Costs
. Therefore, financing costs incurred for fees paid to lenders and other parties in connection with debt
issuances are recorded as a deduction against the related debt agreement and amortized by the effective interest method over the
terms of the related financing arrangements. In connection with the term loan described further in Note 6, the Company recorded
amortization of $0.3 million and $0.7 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively, and $0.4 million
and $0.7 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively, which is included in interest expense.
Stock based compensation:
The Company measures compensation
expense for stock based equity awards based on the fair value of the awards on the grant date. Compensation is recognized as expense
in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations ratably over the required service period or, for performance
based awards, when the achievement of the performance targets become probable.
Net loss per share:
Basic net loss per share available
to common stockholders of the Company is calculated by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding
during the period. Common shares issuable upon exercise of the stock options and future vesting of the restricted stock awards
(see Note 11) have not been included in the computation because their inclusion would have had an antidilutive effect for all periods
presented.

Recent accounting pronouncements:
We consider the applicability
and impact of all ASUs. ASUs not listed below were assessed and determined to be either not applicable or are expected to have
minimal impact on our condensed consolidated financial position or results of operations.
New Accounting Pronouncements Adopted
In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09,
Compensation
– Stock Compensation (Topic 718), Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting (ASU 2016-09)
. ASU 2016-09
is intended to simplify several aspects of accounting for share-based payment awards, including the income tax consequences, classification
of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. For example, the new guidance requires
all excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies related to share-based payments to be recognized in income tax expense, and for those
excess tax benefits to be recognized regardless of whether it reduces current taxes payable. The ASU also allows an entity-wide
accounting policy election to either estimate the number of awards that are expected to vest or account for forfeitures as they
occur. These amendments are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December
15, 2016. Therefore, the effective date was the first quarter of 2017. The adoption of this new standard did not have a material
impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company made a policy election to account for forfeitures as they
occur.
In January 2017, the FASB
issued ASU No. 2017-04,
Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350) Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment
. ASU 2017-04
provides guidance to simplify the subsequent measurement of goodwill by eliminating the Step 2 procedure from the goodwill impairment
test. Under the updates in ASU 2017-04, an entity should perform its annual or interim, goodwill impairment test by comparing the
fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An entity should recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which
the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value; however, the loss recognized should not exceed the total amount
of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. The amendments of this ASU are effective for annual or any interim goodwill impairment
tests beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company has early adopted this ASU during the second quarter of 2017.
New Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09,
Revenue from Contracts
with Customers (Topic 606)
, which establishes a comprehensive revenue recognition standard for virtually all industries under
GAAP, including those that previously followed industry-specific guidance. Under the guidance, all entities should recognize revenue
to depict the transfer of promised goods and services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity
expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Additionally, various updates have been issued during 2015 and
2016 to clarify the guidance in Topic 606. The guidance is effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2018 using either
of the following transition methods: (i) a full retrospective approach reflecting the application of the standard in each
prior reporting period with the option to elect certain practical expedients, or (ii) a retrospective approach with the cumulative
effect of initially adopting ASU 2014-09 recognized at the date of adoption (which includes additional footnote disclosures). We
are currently in the process of evaluating the impact of the adoption of this ASU on our consolidated financial statements and
our method of adoption. The adoption is expected to impact our revenue recognition and related disclosures.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02,
Leases (Topic
842
). The standard impacts both lessors and lessees. The most significant change for lessees is that the requirement to recognize
right-to-use assets and lease liabilities for all leases not considered short term. The guidance is effective for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 2018, and will be applied on a modified retrospective basis. The Company is currently evaluating
the impact of the adoption of this standard on the condensed consolidated financial statements.
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13,
Measurement
of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments
(ASU 2016-13). ASU 2016-13 will replace the incurred loss impairment methodology
in current GAAP with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable
and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. The amendments affect loans, debt securities, trade receivables, net
investments in leases, off balance sheet credit exposures, reinsurance receivables, and any other financial assets not excluded
from the scope that have the contractual right to receive cash. ASU 2016-13 will be effective for the Company beginning in the
first quarter of fiscal year 2020, and early adoption is permitted but not earlier than fiscal year 2019. The Company does not
expect the adoption of ASU 2016-13 to have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.
In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15,
Statement of
Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments
. The amendments in this update clarify the
guidance regarding the classification of operating, investing, and financing activities for certain types of cash receipts and
payments. The amendments in this update are effective for the annual periods, and the interim periods within those years, beginning
after December 15, 2017, and should be applied using a retrospective transition method to each period presented. Early adoption
is permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact of adoption, if any, to the condensed consolidated financial statements.
In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18,
Statement
of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force),
which provides guidance on
the presentation of restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents in the statement of cash flows. These amendments are effective
for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company is currently evaluating
the impact of the adoption of this guidance on its condensed consolidated financial statements.
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01,
Business Combinations
(Topic 805) Clarifying the Definition of a Business,
which amends the guidance of FASB Accounting Standards Codification
(ASC) Topic 805,
Business Combinations
, adding guidance to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should
be accounted for as acquisitions or disposals of assets or businesses. The definition of a business affects many areas of accounting
including acquisitions, disposals, goodwill, and consolidation. This guidance is effective for annual and interim periods beginning
after December 15, 2017, and early adoption is permitted under certain circumstances. The Company is currently evaluating
the impact of the adoption of this guidance on its condensed consolidated financial statements.
In May 2017, the FASB
issued ASU No. 2017-09,
Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting
. ASU 2017-09
provides guidance on determining which changes to the terms and conditions of share-based payment awards require an entity to
apply modification accounting under Topic 718. This ASU is effective for all entities for annual periods, including interim periods
within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in any interim
period, for reporting periods for which financial statements have not yet been issued. The Company has not yet evaluated the impact,
if any, that the adoption of ASU 2017-09 will have on the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Amortization expense amounted to $1.6 million and $3.3 million,
respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and $1.8 million and $3.5 million, respectively, for the three and
six months ended June 30, 2016. During the three months ended June 30, 2017, the Company performed an interim impairment test
of its intangible assets and concluded that no impairment existed. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, there were
no adverse changes in long-lived assets, which caused a need for an impairment analysis.
Changes in the carrying amount of goodwill are as follows (in

During the three months ended June 30, 2017, the Company recorded
an impairment charge of $21.1 million. The Company determined that a triggering event had occurred since the Company was unable
to achieve its targeted revenue and profit forecasts during the six months ended June 30, 2017; therefore, the Company’s
third party valuation firm performed an interim goodwill impairment test under the provisions of ASU 2017-04 and determined that
the estimated fair value of the Company’s sole reporting unit was lower than the carrying value. The decline in the estimated
fair value of the Company was primarily due to significantly lower revenue in 2017 than planned due to losing certain contract
proposals and delays in the timing of other anticipated contract awards causing management to revise its 2017 forecast. Projected
growth rates in future years remain comparable to the prior planned growth, however, projected future revenue and related profits
are less than the previous plan due to significantly lower than expected revenue forecasted for 2017.
Upon completion of the interim goodwill impairment test,
the Company recorded a noncash goodwill impairment charge of $21.1 million, or 29% of the total goodwill asset. Additional
sensitivity testing was completed using assumptions of only achieving 95% and 90% of the revised 2017 forecasted plan with
other major assumptions including growth rates, profit margins, and discount factors remaining the same. The result of this
analysis was an estimated additional goodwill impairment of between $0.7 million and $6.7 million and $4.7 million and $10.4
million, respectively. The Company also has some ability to control indirect costs during the remainder of 2017 that could
mitigate any additional shortfalls in our revised 2017 revenue and profit estimates.
The goodwill impairment charges are recorded as goodwill impairment
in the consolidated statements of operations. A change in any of our assumptions, including key assumptions regarding revenue growth
rate, adjusted EBITDA margins and weighted average cost of capital, individually or in the aggregate, or future financial performance
that is below management expectations, may result in the carrying value of this reporting unit exceeding its fair value, and could
result in additional impairment to goodwill and/or amortizable intangible assets in future periods.
The primary method used to measure the impairment charge was
the income method. The significant unobservable inputs used were based on company-specific information and included estimates of
revenue, profit margins and discount rates. If the carrying amount of the goodwill exceeds the implied fair value of the goodwill,
an impairment charge is recognized in the amount equal to that excess, not to exceed the carrying amount of the goodwill.
Additionally, the Company performed an impairment test on its
long-lived intangible assets. The first step of the impairment test is to compare the undiscounted cash flows of the asset group
to the carrying amount. If the results of the test determine that the undiscounted cash flows of the asset group are less than
the carrying amount, then an impairment exists and further testing is required. An impairment charge was not required as of June
30, 2017 using this test.
During the three months ended June 30, 2016, the Company
did not identify any triggering events related to our goodwill and therefore was not required to test goodwill for impairment.

The Company has investments in mutual funds held in a Rabbi
Trust which are classified as trading securities and are included in current assets on the accompanying condensed consolidated
balance sheets. The Rabbi Trust assets are used to fund amounts the Company owes to key managerial employees under the Company’s
non-qualified deferred compensation plan (see Note 8). Based on the nature of the assets held, the Company uses quoted market prices
in active markets for identical assets to determine fair values, which apply to Level 1 investments.
The mark to market adjustments are recorded in other income
(expense), net, in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30,
2017 which resulted in investment income of $0.01 million and $0.03 million, respectively, and for the three and six months ended
June 30, 2016, for a nominal gain and net investment loss of ($0.4) million.

Credit Agreement:
In connection with the consummation
of the Business Combination, the Company entered into a new facility (the Credit Agreement) with a different financial lending
group. The Credit Agreement provides for: (a) a term loan in an aggregate principal amount of $81.8 million; (b) a $15 million
asset-based revolving line-of-credit; and (c) an uncommitted accordion facility to be used to fund acquisitions of up to $90 million.
Concurrent with the consummation of the Business Combination, the full amount of the term loan was drawn and there were no amounts
drawn on the other two facilities. Each facility matures on November 23, 2020. The Company recorded $6.4 million of debt issuance
costs in connection with the new facility as a reduction to the carrying amount of the new term loan. These costs are amortized
using the effective interest method over the life of the term loan.
The principal amount of the term loan amortizes in quarterly
installments which increase after each annual period. The quarterly installments range from 0.625% to 2.500% of the original principal
amount and are paid through the quarter ending September 30, 2019. The remaining unpaid principal is due on the maturity date
of November 23, 2020.
At the Company’s election, the interest rate per annum applicable to all the facilities is based on
a fluctuating rate of interest. The interest rate in effect as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 was approximately 9.0% and
10.3%, respectively. The Borrowers may elect to use either a Base Rate or a Eurodollar Rate. The interest rate per annum for electing
the Base Rate will be equal to the sum of 6.80% plus the Base Rate, which is equal to the highest of: (a) the base commercial
lending rate of the Collateral Agent as publicly announced to be in effect from time to time, as adjusted by the Collateral Agent;
(b) the sum of 0.50% per annum and the Federal Funds Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement); (c) the daily one month LIBOR
as published each business day in
The Wall Street Journal
for a one month period divided by a number equal to 1.00 minus
the Reserve Percentage (as defined in the Credit Agreement) plus 100 basis points, as of such day and; (d) 2.00%.
The interest rate per annum for electing the Eurodollar Rate
will be equal to the sum of 7.80% plus the Eurodollar Rate, which is equal to the highest of: (a) the amount calculated by dividing
(x) the rate which appears on the Bloomberg Page BBAM1, or the rate which is quoted by another authorized source, two business
days prior to the commencement of any interest period as the LIBOR for such an amount by (y) a number equal to 1.00 minus the Reserve
Percentage (as defined in the Credit Agreement) and; (b) 1.00%.

The Company is also subject to certain provisions which
will require mandatory prepayments of its term loan and has agreed to certain minimums for its fixed charge coverage ratio and
consolidated EBITDA and certain maximums for its senior secured leverage ratio, as defined in the Credit Agreement. As of September
30, 2016, the Company did not meet the required consolidated senior secured leverage ratio and minimum consolidated EBITDA. The
Company remained in compliance with the Credit Agreement using a provision of the Credit Agreement that allowed the Company to
cure (Cure Right) certain covenant non-compliance by issuances of common stock for cash and use of the proceeds to reduce the
principal balance of the term loan. The Company used the proceeds to reduce the principal balance of the term loan as required
to effect the Cure Right.
As of December 31, 2016, the Company did not meet the required
consolidated senior secured leverage ratio and minimum consolidated EBITDA. The Credit Agreement does not allow the Company to
exercise the Cure Right in consecutive fiscal quarters; therefore, on February 24, 2017, the Company entered into a limited forbearance
to the Credit Agreement (the “February Forbearance Agreement”) with MC Admin Co LLC and the other lenders under the
Credit Agreement.
The Company then entered into a Limited Waiver (Waiver) from
MC Admin Co LLC and other lenders under the Credit Agreement as of March 31, 2017, pursuant to which the lenders waived the Company’s
noncompliance with the Specified Financial Covenants as of December 31, 2016. Pursuant to the Waiver:
|
•
|
Loans under the Credit Agreement are subject to additional interest at a rate of 2% per annum until the earliest of (x) the date on which all loans are repaid and all commitments under the Credit Agreement are terminated, (y) the date the Company delivers the financial statements and certificates for the quarter ending March 31, 2017 showing that they are not in default under the Credit Agreement or (z) the date on which default interest is otherwise due under the Credit Agreement;
|
|
•
|
The Company must obtain lender consent prior to use of its revolving credit facility; and
|
|
•
|
The Company could not effect a Cure Right with respect to the quarter ending March 31, 2017.
|
The Waiver does not apply to covenant non-compliance after December
31, 2016 or to covenants other than the Specified Financial Covenants.
As of March 31, 2017 the Company was not in compliance with
the covenants related to the consolidated EBITDA and the senior secured leverage ratio. In addition, on May 18, 2017, the Company
received a Default Notice from MC Admin that states the Company was in default under the Credit Agreement for the Budget Delivery
Default. The Company believes this notice is incorrect, as the Company previously provided the required information to the lenders
on February 7, 2017. The Default Notice stated that MC Admin was not taking action to enforce the lenders’ rights under
the Credit Agreement at this time, although it also provided that, as a result of the default, the lenders had no obligations
under the Credit Agreement to provide any additional loans or letters of credit.
As of June 30, 2017 the Company was not in compliance with
the Specified Financial Covenants.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

(In thousands, except share and per share amounts)(Unaudited)
|
The Lender has not granted a waiver or forbearance for the Budget
Delivery Default or the covenant violations as of March 31, 2017 and June 30, 2017. One of the remedies the Lender has available
to it, amongst others, is the ability to accelerate repayment of the debt, which the Company would not be able to immediately repay.
The Lender’s not having granted a waiver or other relief
and the potential acceleration of the debt by the Lender resulted in the reclassification of the debt from a long-term liability
to a current liability as of March 31, 2017 and June 30, 2017.
If the business continues to perform at the current
level through the next quarter, the Company does not expect to satisfy the Specified Financial Covenants at that time, and it
is likely that the Company will be in non-compliance at September 30, 2017. The Company’s inability to meet the required
covenant levels could have a material adverse impact to the Company, including the need for the Company to effect an additional
Cure Right or obtain additional forbearance or an amendment, waiver, or other changes in the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement
does not allow the Company to exercise the Cure Right in consecutive fiscal quarters, more than three fiscal quarters in the aggregate,
or in more than two of any four fiscal quarters. The amount allowed under the Cure Right may not exceed the lesser of $2.5 million
and 20% of consolidated EBITDA. The aggregate of Cure Rights may not exceed $5 million.
Any additional forbearance, amendment or waiver under the Credit
Agreement may result in increased interest rates or premiums and more restrictive covenants and other terms less advantageous to
the Company, and may require the payment of a fee for such forbearance, amendment or waiver. If the Company is unable to renegotiate
the financial covenants either through a new credit agreement or through an amendment of the existing financial covenants under
the current Credit Agreement, we may not be able to obtain a forbearance, waiver or effect a cure, on acceptable terms.
Even if the Lender does grant forbearance or an amendment to
or waiver under the Credit Agreement, any future covenant non-compliance could give rise to an event of default thereunder.
If the Lender does not grant forbearance or a waiver of the
covenant non-compliance as of March 31, 2017 and June 30, 2017, the Budget Delivery Default, or any future covenant non-compliance,
the indebtedness under the Credit Agreement could be declared immediately due and payable, which could have a material adverse
effect on the Company.

Deferred Compensation
Plan
|
The Company maintains a deferred compensation plan (the Deferred
Compensation Plan) in the form of a Rabbi Trust, covering key managerial employees of the Company as determined by the Board of
Directors. The Deferred Compensation Plan gives certain senior employees the ability to defer all, or a portion, of their salaries
and bonuses on a pre-tax basis and invest the funds in marketable securities that can be bought and sold at the employee’s
discretion. The future compensation is payable upon either termination of employment or change of control. The liabilities are
classified within current liabilities as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The
assets held in the Rabbi Trust are comprised of mutual funds and are carried at fair value based on the quoted market prices. As
of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the amount payable under the Deferred Compensation Plan was equal to the value of the assets
owned by the Company. These assets total $0.4 million and $0.3 million as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively,
and are included as part of current assets in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. Additionally, the Company
may make discretionary matching contributions to the Deferred Compensation Plan, which vest ratably over three years. The Company
recorded contributions to the Deferred Compensation Plan of $0.04 million and $0.08 million, respectively, for the three and six
months ended June 30, 2017. The Company recorded no contributions to the Deferred Compensation Plan for the three and six months
ended June 30, 2016. The assets are available to satisfy the claims of the Company’s creditors in the event of bankruptcy
or insolvency of the Company. The participants in the Deferred Compensation Plan were paid a distribution of their earnings to
date through the consummation of the Business Combination. This distribution totaled $4.1 million and was paid on January 25, 2016.

Stock Based Compensation
|
In connection with the approval of the Business Combination,
the 2015 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the Plan) was approved by stockholders to provide incentives to key employees, directors, and
consultants of the Company and its subsidiaries. Awards under the Plan are generally not restricted for any specific form or structure
and could include, without limitation, stock options, stock appreciation rights, dividend equivalent rights, restricted stock
awards, cash-based awards, or other right or benefit under the Plan. The Plan allowed for the lesser of: (i) 1.6 million shares
of common stock; or (ii) 8% of the outstanding common shares immediately following the consummation of the Business Combination
as reserved and authorized for issuance under the Plan. At June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, there were 0.6 million and 0.9
million shares, respectively, of common stock authorized and available for issuance under the Plan.
Stock Options
Upon completion of the Business Combination, the Company approved
initial grants of non-qualified stock option awards under the Plan to the current independent members of the Board of Directors.
The stock option awards expire in ten years from the date of grant and vest over a period of one year – 20% of the options
will vest 30 days following the grant date, 40% of the options will vest six months following the grant date subject to the Director’s
continued service and the remaining 40% of the options will vest 12 months following the grant date subject to the director’s
continued service. The exercise price is required to be set at not less than 100% of the fair market value of the Company’s
common stock on the date of grant.
In June 2016, the Company granted non-qualified stock option
awards under the Plan to certain key employees of the Company. The stock option awards expire in ten years from the date of grant
and vest in 20% increments over a period that ranges from the grant date to approximately 4.5 years.
In September 2016, the Company granted non-qualified stock option
awards under the Plan to a key employee of the Company. The stock option awards expire in ten years from the date of grant and
vest at 25% on the grant date and in 25% increments thereafter over approximately 1.5 years.
During the first quarter of 2017, the Company granted non-qualified
stock option awards under the Plan to certain employees and senior management of the Company. The stock option awards expire in
ten years from the date of grant and vest in 20% increments over a period that ranges from the grant date to approximately 4.0
years.
During the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, the fair
value of each option was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes model that uses the following weighted average

Stock Based Compensation
(Continued)
|
The Company calculated the expected term of the stock option
awards using the “simplified method” in accordance with the
Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting
Bulletins No. 107 and 110
because the Company lacks historical data and is unable to make reasonable assumptions regarding
the future. The Company’s assumptions with respect to stock price volatility are based on the average historical volatility
of peers with similar attributes. The Company determines the risk-free interest rate by selecting the U.S. Treasury constant maturity
rate.
The total compensation expense related to stock option awards
under the Plan was $0.1 million and $0.5 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively, and was $0.2 million
and $0.3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively. The income tax benefit related to share-based
compensation expense was approximately $0.04 million and $0.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively,
and $0.08 million and $0.1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively. As of June 30, 2017, $0.8 million
of total unrecognized compensation expense related to the share-based compensation Plan is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average
period of 2.6 years. The total unrecognized share-based compensation expense to be recognized in future periods as of June 30,
2017 does not consider the effect of share-based awards that may be issued in future periods.

There was no aggregate intrinsic value for the options outstanding and exercisable
at June 30, 2017, because the exercise price exceeds the underlying share price.
Restricted Stock Awards
In June 2016, the Company granted restricted stock awards under
the Plan to members of the Board of Directors. The awards vest at 20% on the date of the award and in two 40% increments during
the remaining annual period.
The total compensation expense related to restricted stock
awards granted under the Plan was $0.02 million and $0.05 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017
and was $0.02 million for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2016. The income tax benefit related to the restricted
stock awards was approximately $0.01 million and $0.02 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017
and was $0.01 million for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2016. As of June 30, 2017, there was no unrecognized compensation
expense related to the restricted stock awards under the Plan.
There were no outstanding non-vested restricted awards as of
June 30, 2017, and there were 22,400 shares of restricted stock that vested during the three months ended June 30, 2017. Outstanding
(non-vested) restricted awards as of June 30, 2016 totaled 44,800, and 11,200 shares of restricted stock vested during the six
months ended June 30, 2016. The weighted-average grant date fair value of vested and non-vested awards was $1.99 per share.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
|
(In thousands, except share and per share amounts)(Unaudited)
|
The effective income tax rate was 12.7% and 16.5%, respectively,
for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and was 38.9% and 34.8%, respectively, for the three and six months ended June
30, 2016. The Company’s effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, differs from the statutory
federal rate as a result of state benefits, net of federal provision, permanent differences primarily due to goodwill impairment
and changes in estimates made in the deferred taxes recorded as part of the Business Combination, which were not accounted for
as measurement period adjustments.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis
|
The Predecessor was founded in 1986 as
the Software Technology Group. Over that time, we have built strong, trusted and enduring relationships with a wide range of Federal
Government customers, supporting their mission-critical operations across a very broad contract base. We have achieved a period
of continuous performance of more than a decade. Our single largest contract represented 23% and 20% of total revenues for
the 3 months ending June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Similarly, the top 5 contracts represented 69% and 57% of total revenues
for the 3 months ending June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.
We are currently contracted with approximately
50 U.S. Federal Government organizations, and we derive the majority of our revenue from contracts with U.S. Government agencies
with a national security mission. As of June 30, 2017, we derived approximately 42% of our revenue from the Department of Defense;
approximately 40% from the Department of State; approximately 18% from other Federal Civilian agencies, with most of that revenue
coming from the Department of Homeland Security; and approximately 2% coming from the Intelligence Community.

Contract Revenue
Revenue for the second quarter of 2017 decreased
by $7.1 million, or 17% compared to the same period in 2016. The decrease in revenue is due to the expiration of contracts with
the Army, the Department of Defense, the Department of Homeland Security, the Department of Housing and Urban Development (“HUD”)
and a subcontract to perform work with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (“NOAA”).

revenue by customer for the second quarter of 2017 and 2016.

The Department of Defense continues to
be our largest customer with 43% and 44% of the revenue generated from this customer during the second quarter of both financial
year 2017 and 2016, respectively. Revenue by customer decreased across all but the Intelligence Community customers in 2017 compared
to the same period in 2016.
Time-and-materials contract revenue increased
by $2.0 million in the second quarter of 2017 versus the second quarter of 2016. The increase in time and materials contracts
was driven by consolidation and conversion of several fixed price and cost plus fixed fee contracts to time and materials contract
type. Fixed price contract revenue decreased by $2.9 million primarily due to the conversions just mentioned and the completion
of subcontract work with NOAA. The $6.2 million reduction in Cost Plus Fixed Fee revenues was due to the expiration of contracts
with the Army and HUD and contract consolidations and conversions.

of 2017 and second quarter of 2016 revenue by contract billing type.

Prime contract revenue decreased by $6.0
million in the second quarter of 2017 compared to second quarter of 2016. The decrease was attributable to the expiration and
lower tasking on Army, HUD and Department of State contracts. The decrease in Subcontract revenue by $1.1 million is largely due
to the expiration of subcontract work performed at NOAA. The Company continues to look to increase its presence as a prime contractor
on larger, more complex programs where it delivers services to customers by deploying its own staff and expertise, and by managing
the efforts of other contractors.

second quarter of 2017 and 2016 revenue by prime and subcontract type.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis
|
Direct Expenses and Gross Profit
Direct expenses consist of direct labor,
subcontractors and consultants, and other direct costs. In the quarter ended June 30, 2017, direct expenses decreased by 17%, or
$4.7 million over the same period a year ago. This decrease in direct expenses is mainly a result of a reduction in Company employees
and subcontractors as a result of the expiration of contracts with the Army, Department of Defense, Department of Homeland Security,
HUD and a subcontract to perform work at NOAA.
Gross profit for the three months ended June 30, 2017 was lower by $2.4
million, or 18% compared to the three months ended June 30, 2016. This decrease in gross profit is due to the decrease in revenue.
Gross profit margins for the second quarter of 2017 and 2016 were 32%.
Indirect and Selling Expenses
Indirect and selling expenses increased
$1.0 million or 8% for the three months ended June 30, 2017 compared to the same period a year ago. The net increase in the indirect
and selling expenses were due primarily to a $0.9 million, or 13%, net decrease in fringe benefits and overhead related expenses
for the three months ended June 30, 2017 compared to the three months ending June 30, 2016. The decreases in fringe benefit expenses
were due to a reduction in the Company’s total labor costs in the second quarter 2017 when compared to the second quarter
2016. The net decrease in overhead expense is due to lower severance benefits in the second quarter 2017 when compared to the second
quarter 2016. General and administrative expenses increased by $0.5 million, or 9%, for the three months ended June 30, 2017 when
compared to the same period ending June 30, 2016 primarily due to increases in legal expenses in the second quarter 2017. There
was also a $1.4 million increase in acquisition related legal and other fees during the second quarter 2017 compared to the second
quarter 2016.
Impairment of Goodwill
The Company recorded a goodwill impairment
charge of $21.1 million in the three month period ended June 30, 2017. The Company’s third party valuation firm performed
an interim goodwill impairment test and determined that the estimated fair value of the Company’s sole reporting unit was
lower than the carrying value. The decline in the estimated fair value of the Company was primarily due to significantly lower
revenue in 2017 than planned base upon a revised forecast. Growth rates in future years remain comparable to the prior planned
growth; however projected future revenue and related profits are less than the previous plan due to significantly lower 2017 revenue.
Operating Income (Loss)
The second quarter 2017 operating loss was
($24.5) million compared to $0 in the second quarter of 2016, a decrease of ($24.5) million. The operating loss was primarily due
to the goodwill impairment charge of $21.1 million as well as lower revenue and gross profit from contracts and higher indirect
and selling expenses as discussed under the heading “Indirect and Selling Expenses” above.
Other Income (Expense)
There were no material other income (expense)
for the quarter ended June 30, 2017 and June 30, 2016.
Interest Expense
Interest expense was $2.5 million and $2.1
million for the quarters ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Interest expense for 2016 and 2017 reflects the Company’s
new level of debt following the consummation of the Business Combination. See “Secured Credit Facilities” in the Liquidity
and Capital Resources section of this MD&A for further discussion.
Tax Benefit
The tax benefit was $3.4 million for the
quarter ended June 30, 2017 compared to $0.8 million for the second quarter of 2016. The increase in deferred tax benefit of $2.6
million is primarily due to the operating loss offset by non-deductible goodwill impairment of $21.1 million during the quarter
ended June 30, 2017. The deferred tax benefit in 2016 was primarily due to the future benefit related to the capitalization and
amortization (for tax purposes) of start-up costs related to the Business Combination.

Net Loss
Net loss was ($23.6) million for the quarter
ended June 30, 2017 compared to net loss of ($1.3) million for the quarter ended June 30, 2016. The increase in net loss of $22.3
million was primarily due to the goodwill impairment charge of $21.1 million as well as lower profit on lower recorded revenue
and an increase in indirect expenses as the Company expands business development capabilities.

Contract Revenue
Revenue for the six months ended June 30,
2017 decreased by $12.0 million, or 15% compared to the same period in 2016. The decrease in revenue is due to the expiration of
contracts with the Army, the Department of Defense, the Department of Homeland Security and the Department of Housing and Urban
Development (“HUD”) and Subcontract work performed at NOAA.
The table below summarizes the Company’s
revenue by customer for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016.

The Department of Defense continues to
be our largest customer with 42% and 43% of the revenue generated from this customer during the first six months ended June 30,
2017 and 2016, respectively. Revenue by customer decreased across all customers in 2017 compared to the same period in 2016.
Time-and-materials contract revenue increased
by $4.6 million in the first six months of 2017 versus the same six months of 2016. The increase in time and materials contracts
was driven by consolidation and conversion of several fixed price and cost plus fixed fee contracts to time and materials contracts.
Fixed price contract revenue decreased by $4.4 million primarily due to the conversions and the completion of subcontract work
with NOAA. The $12.1 million reduction in Cost Plus Fixed Fee revenues was due to the expiration of contracts with the Army, Department
of Defense and HUD.
The table below summarizes the six months
ended June 30, 2017 and six months ended June 30, 2016 revenue by contract billing type.

Prime contract revenue decreased by $9.9
million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 compared to the same period in 2016. Subcontract contract revenue decreased by $2.1
million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2016. The decrease in Prime and Subcontract
revenue was attributable to the expiration of Army, Department of Homeland Security and HUD contracts. The Company continues to
look to increase its presence as a prime contractor on larger, more complex programs where it delivers services to customers by
deploying its own staff and expertise, and by managing the efforts of other contractors.
The table below summarizes the Company’s
six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 revenue by prime and subcontract type.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis

Direct Expenses and Gross Profit
Direct expenses consist of direct labor,
subcontractors and consultants, and other direct costs. In the six months ended June 30, 2017, direct expenses decreased by 15%,
or $8.4 million over the same period a year ago. This decrease in direct expenses is mainly a result of a reduction in Company
employees and subcontractors as a result of the expiration of Army, Department of Defense, Department of Homeland Security and
HUD contracts and the end of the Subcontract work performed at NOAA.
Gross profit for the six months ended June
30, 2017 was lower by $3.6 million, or 14% compared to the six months ended June 30, 2016. This decrease in gross profit is due
to the decrease in revenue. Gross profit margins for the six months ended June 30, 2017 were 33% compared to 32% for the same period
of 2016.
Indirect and Selling Expenses
Indirect and selling expenses increased
$3.1 million or 12% for the six months ended June 30, 2017 compared to the same period a year ago. The net increase in indirect
and selling expenses was comprised of $1.6 million or 13.7% net decrease in fringe benefits expense for the six months ended June
30, 2017 compared to the same period a year ago. The decrease in fringe benefit expense was the result of reductions in the overall
contract workforce. There was a $1.6 million, or 19%, net increase in general and administrative expenses for the six months ended
June 30, 2017 compared to the same period a year ago. The increases in general and administrative expenses were primarily related
to an increase in full time general and administrative labor, indirect consulting and temporary labor. There was also a $3.1 million
increase in stock compensation expense and acquisition related legal and other fees incurred for the six months ended June 30,
2017 compared with the six months ended June 30, 2016.
Impairment of Goodwill
The Company recorded an impairment charge
of $21.1 million in the six month period ended June 30, 2017. The Company’s third party valuation firm performed an interim
goodwill impairment test and determined that the estimated fair value of the Company’s sole reporting unit was lower than
the carrying value. The decline in the estimated fair value of the Company was primarily due to significantly lower revenue in
2017 than planned based upon a revised forecast. Growth rates in future years remain comparable to the prior planned growth; however
projected future revenue and related profits are less than the previous plan due to significantly lower 2017 revenue.
Operating Income (Loss)
Operating loss was ($27.4) million for
the six months ended June 30, 2017 compared to operating income of $0.4 million in the six months ended June 30, 2016, a decrease
of ($27.8) million. The reduced operating income was primarily due to the goodwill impairment charge of $21.1 and lower revenue
and gross profit from contracts as well as higher indirect and selling expenses as discussed under the heading “Indirect
and Selling Expenses” above.
Other Income (Expense)
There were no material other income (expense)
for the six months ended June 30, 2017 compared to ($0.4) million for the six months ended June 30, 2016. The difference of $0.4
million is principally comprised of investment losses from the Rabbi Trust Market fluctuations recorded during the first quarter
2016.
Interest Expense
Interest expense was $4.9 million and $4.3
million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Interest expense for 2016 and 2017 reflects the Company’s
new level of debt following the consummation of the Business Combination. See “Secured Credit Facilities” in the Liquidity
and Capital Resources section of this MD&A for further discussion.
Tax Benefit
The tax benefit was $5.3 million for the
six months ended June 30, 2017 compared to $1.5 million for the same period of 2016. The increase in deferred tax benefit of $3.8
million is primarily due to the operating loss, offset by non-deductible goodwill impairment of $21.1 million in the six months
ended June 30, 2017. The deferred tax benefit in 2016 was primarily due to the future benefit related to the capitalization and
amortization (for tax purposes) of start-up costs related to the Business Combination.

Net Loss
Net loss was ($27.0) million for the six months
ended June 30, 2017 compared to a net loss of ($2.8) million for the six months ended June 30, 2016. The increase in net loss of
$24.2 million was primarily due to the goodwill impairment charge recorded of $21.1 and lower profit on lower recorded revenue
and an increase in indirect expenses as the Company expands business development capabilities.
The Company defines EBITDA as net income
(loss) before interest expense, provision (benefit) for income taxes, depreciation and amortization and (gain)/loss on disposal
of property, plant and equipment.
The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA,
excluding the impact of operational restructuring charges and non-cash or non-operational losses or gains, including long-lived
asset impairment charges, formal cost reduction plans, excess and unutilized accruals, transactional legal fees, other professional
fees and retention employee bonuses.
Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA provides a clear picture
of our operating results by eliminating expenses and income that are not reflective of the underlying business performance. We
use this metric to facilitate a comparison of operating performance on a consistent basis from period to period and to analyze
the factors and trends affecting its core business areas. Our internal plans, budgets and forecasts use Adjusted EBITDA as a key
metric and the Company uses this measure to evaluate its operating performance and core business operating performance and to determine
the level of incentive compensation paid to its employees. Adjusted EBITDA is not an item recognized by the generally accepted
accounting principles in the United States of America, or U.S. GAAP, and should not be considered as an alternative to net income,
operating income, or any other indicator of a company’s operating performance required by U.S. GAAP. Our definition of Adjusted
EBITDA used here may not be comparable to the definition of Adjusted EBITDA used by other companies. A reconciliation of net loss
to Adjusted EBITDA is as follows:

EBITDA to net loss (unaudited)

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Background
For quarter ended March 2016 and in prior
years, the Company had not been leveraged other than its revolving credit facility which in the past had been used to provide working
capital, mobilize new project wins, and cover abnormal fluctuations in the timing of cash receipts and payments.
On November 23, 2015, the Company, together
with STG Group, STG, Inc., and Access Systems entered into a Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with the lenders
party thereto from time to time, MC Admin Co LLC (the "Lender"), as administrative agent, PNC Bank, National Association,
as collateral agent (the “Collateral Agent”), and MC Admin Co LLC, as lead arranger. The Company served as the initial
borrower of the term loans under the Credit Agreement, and STG, Inc. and Access Systems (collectively, the “Borrowers”)
each immediately assumed all obligations of the Company under the Credit Agreement as if they had originally incurred them as borrowers.
The Company and STG Group have each guaranteed Borrowers’ obligations under the Credit Agreement.
The Revolving Loan and the Term Loan both
mature on November 23, 2020.
As of June 30, 2017, the Company had $1.4
million of available cash. Because the Company did not meet the required consolidated senior secured leverage ratio and minimum
consolidated EBITDA required in the Credit Agreement as of June 30, 2017 the $15 million of borrowings under the revolving credit
facility are only available subject to lender consent, and the $90 million uncommitted accordion facility is not available.
STG Group, Inc.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis
|
Going Concern Consideration:
The condensed consolidated
financial statements included in this Form 10-Q have been prepared using the going concern basis of accounting, which contemplates
the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.
The Company was not in compliance with its financial covenants related to the consolidated
EBITDA, and the senior secured leverage ratio under the Credit Agreement at September 30, 2016, December 31, 2016, March 31, 2017
and June 30, 2017, and was also not in compliance with its financial covenant related to the fixed charge coverage ratio under
the Credit Agreement (collectively with the consolidated EBITDA and senior secured leverage ratio covenants, the “Specified
Financial Covenants”) at June 30, 2017. At September 30, 2016, the non-compliance was cured by raising equity from stockholders
(“Equity Cure”) as was allowed by the Credit Agreement. At December 31, 2016 the Company received a forbearance which
expired on March 31, 2017. The Company then entered into a Limited Waiver (“the Waiver”) from MC Admin Co LLC and
other lenders under the Credit Agreement as of March 31, 2017, pursuant to which the lenders waived the Company’s noncompliance
with the covenants related to the consolidated EBITDA and the senior secured leverage ratio as of December 31, 2016. Pursuant
to the Waiver:
|
·
|
Loans under the Credit Agreement are subject
to additional interest at a rate of 2% per annum until the earliest of (x) the date on which all loans are repaid and all
commitments under the Credit Agreement are terminated, (y) the date the Company delivers the financial statements and
certificates for the quarter ending March 31, 2017 showing that they are not in default under the Credit Agreement or (z) the
date on which default interest is otherwise due under the Credit Agreement;
|
|
·
|
The Company must obtain lender consent prior to use of its revolving credit facility; and
|
|
·
|
The Company could not effect a Cure Right with respect to the quarter ending March 31, 2017.
|
The Company was not in compliance with the
covenants related to the consolidated EBITDA and the senior secured leverage ratio for the quarter ended March 31, 2017 and was
not in compliance with the Specified Financial Covenants for the quarter ended June 30, 2017. The Lender has not granted a waiver
for the covenant violations as of March 31, 2017 and June 30, 2017. Without a waiver or other relief under the Credit Agreement,
one of the remedies the Lender has available to it, amongst others, is the ability to accelerate repayment of the debt, which the
Company would not be able to immediately repay
If the business continues to perform at
the current level through the next quarter, the Company does not expect to satisfy the Specified Financial Covenants at that time,
and it is likely that the Company will be in non-compliance at September 30, 2017. The Company’s inability to meet the required
covenant levels could have a material adverse impact to the Company, including the need for the Company to effect an additional
Cure Right or obtain additional forbearance or an amendment, waiver, or other changes in the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement
does not allow the Company to exercise the Cure Right in consecutive fiscal quarters, more than three fiscal quarters in the aggregate,
or in more than two of any four fiscal quarters. The amount allowed under the Cure Right may not exceed the lesser of $2.5 million
and 20% of consolidated EBITDA. The aggregate of Cure Rights may not exceed $5 million.
STG Group, Inc.
|
|
Management’s Discussion and Analysis
|
The Lender’s not having granted a waiver or other relief
from the Lender and the potential acceleration of the debt by the Lender resulted in the reclassification of debt from a long-term
liability to a current liability as of March 31, 2017 and June 30, 2017.
Even if the Lender does grant forbearance or an amendment to
or waiver under the Credit Agreement, any future covenant non-compliance could give rise to an event of default thereunder.
In addition, on May 18, 2017, the Company received a notice
of default (the “Default Notice”) from MC Admin Co LLC (“MC Admin”) that states the Company was in default
under the Credit Agreement for failing to deliver an annual budget to the lenders on January 15, 2017 as required by the Credit
Agreement (the “Budget Delivery Default”). The Company believes this notice is incorrect, as the Company previously
provided the required information to the lenders on February 7, 2017. The Default Notice stated that MC Admin was not taking action
to enforce the lenders’ rights under the Credit Agreement at this time, although it also provided that, as a result of the
default, the lenders had no obligations under the Credit Agreement to provide any additional loans or letters of credit. The Lender
has not granted a waiver or other relief from the Budget Delivery Default.
The potential acceleration of the loan repayment due to the
Lender not providing a waiver required the Company to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt regarding the Company’s
ability to continue as a going concern.
Management’s Plan to alleviate this condition is as follows:
|
1.
|
Identify, qualify, and win new business to increase revenue and profits,
|
|
2
|
Raise additional equity which would be used to reduce the loan, or
|
|
3.
|
Renegotiate the current Credit Agreement to obtain relief from the existing financial covenants and other terms.
|
As discussed in our Form 10-Q for the quarter
ended March 31, 2017, based on the facts that existed as of December 31, 2016, management determined that it was probable that
the condition giving rise to the going concern evaluation had been sufficiently alleviated as of December 31, 2016. However, the
Lender has not currently granted a waiver or other relief for the Budget Delivery Default or the financial covenant violations
as of March 31, 2017 or June 30, 2017. Consequently, management has changed our assessment regarding the potential acceleration
of the loan repayment made as of December 31, 2016. As the Lender has not currently granted a waiver or other form of relief for
the financial covenant violations as of June 30, 2017, and as disclosed above, sent us a default letter on May 18, 2017, there
exists substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern, in the event the Lender exercises its rights to accelerate
the repayment of the loan.

Indebtedness
In connection with the consummation of the
Business Combination, all indebtedness under STG Group’s prior credit facility was repaid in full and the agreement was terminated.
The Company replaced the prior credit facility and entered into a new facility (the Credit Agreement) with the Lender.
The Credit Agreement provides for:
(a) a term loan in an aggregate principal
amount of $81.75 million
(b) a $15 million asset-based revolving
line-of-credit
(c) an uncommitted accordion facility to
be used to fund acquisitions of up to $90 million.
Concurrent with the consummation of the
Business Combination, the full amount of the term loan was drawn and there were no amounts drawn on the other two facilities. Each
facility matures on November 23, 2020. The Company recorded $6.2 million of debt issuance costs in connection with the new facility
as a reduction to the carrying amount of the new term loan. These costs will be amortized using the effective interest method over
the life of the term loan.
The principal amount of the term loan amortizes
in quarterly installments which increase after each annual period. The quarterly installments range from 0.625% to 2.500% of the
original principal amount and are paid through the quarter ending September 30, 2019. The remaining unpaid principal is due on
the maturity date of November 23, 2020.
At the Company’s election, the interest
rate per annum applicable to all the facilities is based on a fluctuating rate of interest. The interest rate in effect as of June
30, 2017 was 8.95%. The Borrowers may elect to use either a Base Rate or a Eurodollar Rate. The interest rate per annum for electing
the Base Rate will be equal to the sum of 6.80% plus the Base Rate, which is equal to the highest of: (a) the base commercial lending
rate of the Collateral Agent as publicly announced to be in effect from time to time, as adjusted by the Collateral Agent; (b)
the sum of 0.50% per annum and the Federal Funds Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement); (c) the daily one month LIBOR rate
as published each business day in the Wall Street Journal for a one month period divided by a number equal to 1.00 minus the Reserve
Percentage (as defined in the Credit Agreement) plus 100 basis points, as of such day and; (d) 2.00%.
The interest rate per annum for electing
the Eurodollar Rate will be equal to the sum of 7.80% plus the Eurodollar Rate, which is equal to the highest of: (a) the amount
calculated by dividing (x) the rate which appears on the Bloomberg Page BBAM1, or the rate which is quoted by another authorized
source, two business days prior to the commencement of any interest period as the LIBOR for such an amount by (y) a number equal
to 1.00 minus the Reserve Percentage (as defined in the Credit Agreement) and; (b) 1.00%.
Advances under the revolving line-of-credit
are limited by a borrowing base which may not exceed the lesser of (x) the difference between $15,000,000 and amounts outstanding
under letters of credit issued pursuant to the Credit Agreement; and (y) an amount equal to the sum of: (i) up to 85% of certain
accounts receivable of the Company plus (ii) up to 100% of unrestricted cash on deposit in the Company’s accounts with the
Collateral Agent, minus (iii) amounts outstanding under letters of credit issued pursuant to the Credit Agreement, minus (iv) reserves
established by the Collateral Agent from time to time in its reasonable credit judgment exercised in good faith.
The Company is also subject to certain provisions
which will require mandatory prepayments of its term loan and has agreed to certain minimums for its fixed charge coverage ratio
and consolidated EBITDA and certain maximums for its senior secured leverage ratio, as defined in the Credit Agreement.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis
|
Debt and Covenant Compliance
As of September 30, 2016, the Company did not meet the required
consolidated senior secured leverage ratio and minimum consolidated EBITDA under the Credit Agreement. The Company remained in
compliance with the Credit Agreement using a provision of the Credit Agreement that allowed us to cure (the "Cure Right")
certain covenant non-compliance by issuances of Common Stock for cash and use of the proceeds to reduce the principal balance of
the term loan.
On November 14, 2016, we entered into Common
Stock Purchase Agreements with Simon S. Lee Management Trust, for which Simon Lee, our Chairman, is Trustee, and Phillip E. Lacombe,
our President and Chief Operating Officer (collectively, the “Investors”) that provided for the sale to the Investors
of 462,778 shares of Common Stock at a purchase price of $3.60 per share, an aggregate of approximately $1.7 million. We used
the proceeds to reduce the principal balance of the term loan as required to effect the Cure Right.
The Credit Agreement does not allow the
Company to exercise the Cure Right in consecutive fiscal quarters, more than three fiscal quarters in the aggregate, or in more
than two of any four fiscal quarters. The amount allowed under the Cure Right may not exceed $2.5 million and 20% of consolidated
EBITDA. The aggregate Cure Rights may not exceed $5 million.
As of December 31, 2016, the Company did not meet the required consolidated
senior secured leverage ratio and minimum consolidated EBITDA required in the Credit Agreement. The Company was in compliance
with all other financial covenants.
On February 24, 2017, we entered into a Limited Forbearance
to Credit Agreement (the “February Forbearance Agreement”) with MC Admin Co LLC and other lenders relating to the Credit
Agreement.
The Company then entered into a Limited Waiver (“the Waiver”)
from MC Admin Co LLC and other lenders under the Credit Agreement as of March 31, 2017, pursuant to which the lenders waived the
Company’s noncompliance with the Specified Financial Covenants as of December 31, 2016. Pursuant to the Waiver:
|
·
|
Loans under the Credit Agreement are subject to additional interest at a rate of 2% per annum until the earliest of (x) the date on which all loans are repaid and all commitments under the Credit Agreement are terminated, (y) the date we deliver the financial statements and certificates for the quarter ending March 31, 2017 showing that we are not in default under the Credit Agreement or (z) the date on which default interest is otherwise due under the Credit Agreement;
|
|
·
|
We must obtain lender consent prior to use of our revolving credit facility; and
|
|
·
|
We could not effect a Cure Right in respect of the quarter ending March 31,
2017.
|
The Waiver does not apply to covenant non-compliance after December
31, 2016 or to covenants other than the Specified Financial Covenants.
As of March 31, 2017 the Company was not in compliance with
the covenants related to the consolidated EBITDA and the senior secured leverage ratio. In addition, on May 18, 2017, the Company
received the Default Notice from MC Admin that states the Company was in default under the Credit Agreement for the Budget Delivery
Default. The Company believes this notice is incorrect, as the Company previously provided the required information to the lenders
on February 7, 2017. The Default Notice stated that MC Admin was not taking action to enforce the lenders’ rights under the
Credit Agreement at this time, although it also provided that, as a result of the default, the lenders had no obligations under
the Credit Agreement to provide any additional loans or letters of credit.
As of June 30, 2017 the Company was not
in compliance with the Specified Financial Covenants.
STG Group, Inc.
|
|
Management’s Discussion and Analysis
|
The Lender has not granted a waiver or forbearance for the Budget
Delivery Default or the covenant violations as of March 31, 2017 and June 30, 2017. One of the remedies the Lender has available
to it, amongst others, is the ability to accelerate repayment of the debt, which the Company would not be able to immediately repay.
The Lender’s not having granted a
waiver or other relief from the Lender and the potential acceleration of the debt by the Lender resulted in the reclassification
of the debt from a long-term liability to a current liability as of March 31, 2017 and June 30, 2017.
If our business continues to perform at
the current level through the next quarter, we do not expect to satisfy the Specified Financial Covenants at that time, and it
is likely that we will be in non-compliance at September 30, 2017. Our inability to meet the required covenant levels could have
a material adverse impact on us, including the need for us to effect an additional Cure Right or obtain additional forbearance
or an amendment, waiver, or other changes in the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement does not allow the Company to exercise
the Cure Right in consecutive fiscal quarters, more than three fiscal quarters in the aggregate, or in more than two of any four
fiscal quarters. The amount allowed under the Cure Right may not exceed the lesser of $2.5 million and 20% of consolidated EBITDA.
The aggregate of Cure Rights may not exceed $5 million.
Any additional forbearance, amendment or waiver under the Credit Agreement
may result in increased interest rates or premiums and more restrictive covenants and other terms less advantageous to us, and
may require the payment of a fee for such forbearance, amendment or waiver. If the Company is unable to renegotiate the financial
covenants either through a new credit agreement or through an amendment of the existing financial covenants under our current
Credit Agreement, we may not be able to obtain a forbearance, waiver or effect a cure, on terms acceptable to us.
Even if the Lender does grant forbearance or an amendment to
or waiver under the Credit Agreement, any future covenant non-compliance could give rise to an event of default thereunder.
If the Lender does not grant forbearance or a waiver of our
covenant non-compliance as of March 31, 2017 and June 30, 2017, the Budget Delivery Default, or any future covenant non-compliance,
the indebtedness under the Credit Agreement could be declared immediately due and payable, which could have a material adverse
effect on the Company.

Cash used in operating activities
Operating cash flows are primarily affected
by the Company’s ability to invoice and collect from its clients in a timely manner, its ability to manage its vendor payments,
the overall profitability of its contracts and its cash interest expense. Customers are mostly billed monthly after services are
rendered.
For the six months ended June 30, 2017
cash used in operating activities was ($4.2) million. The cash used in operating activities was significantly impacted by a net
loss of ($32.3) million offset by non-cash charges including share-based compensation, depreciation and amortization of intangible
assets totaling $4.7 million and an impairment of goodwill charge of $21.1 million.
For the six months ended June 30, 2016 (successor),
cash used in operating activities was ($3.2) million. The cash used in operating activities was significantly impacted by a net
loss of ($2.8) million and a distribution of ($3.9) million from the Rabbi Trust triggered by the Business Combination. These were
offset by increases of (i) $3.2 million of adjustments for non-cash changes in deferred taxes, deferred rent, amortization of deferred
financing fees, depreciation and amortization of property and equipment, amortization of intangible assets, and stock-based compensation
and (ii) a net increase in cash of $3.8 million due to changes in contract receivables, prepaid expenses, and billings in excess
of revenue. The foregoing were partially offset by $3.4 million of payments for accounts payable and accrued expenses along with
accrued payroll and payroll related liabilities.
For the six months ended June 30, 2017 the Company had cash
collections of $69.3 million, or 100% of revenue recognized in the period. For the six months ended June 30, 2016 the Company had
cash collections of $76.7 million, or 94% of revenue recognized in the period. The higher percentage of collections for the six
months ended June 30, 2017 was due to lagging receivables from 2016 which were collected during this period.
The Company computes accounts receivable
days sales outstanding ("DSO") based on trailing three-month revenue. Days sales outstanding increased by 15 days from
63 days as of June 30, 2016, to 78 days as of June 30, 2017. Total receivables for purposes of the DSO calculation includes both
billed and unbilled receivables as well as billings in excess of revenue recognized.
Cash (used in) provided by investing activities
For the six months ended June 30, 2017 cash
used in investing activities of $0.2 million is primarily purchases of property and equipment.
For the six months ended June 30, 2016 cash
provided by investing activities of $3.9 million was due to proceeds from the sale of the investments held in the Rabbi Trust for
distribution to the plan participants.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis
|
Cash used in financing activities
For the six months ended June 30, 2017
and 2016 the increase in cash used in financing activities is due to payments due on the Company’s long-term debt of $2
million and $1 million, respectively.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization totaled $0.1
million and $0.3 million for each of the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.
Capital Expenditures
Capital expenditures for property, plant,
and equipment totaled $0.1 million and $0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.
Cash Paid for Income Taxes
There were only immaterial cash paid for
income taxes for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and $0.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
There are no material changes to the disclosures
regarding off-balance sheet arrangements made in Part II, Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December
31, 2016.
Related Party Transactions
A company owned by a party related to the
majority stockholder of the Company is both a subcontractor to and customer of the Company on various contracts. As of June 30,
2017 no amounts were due from this entity. As of December 31, 2016, amounts due from this entity totaled $0.01 million. The Company
recorded revenue of $0.01 million and $0.3 million, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016.
No amount was due to this entity as of June
30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 for work performed under subcontracts. The Company also recorded no direct costs for both of the
six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, for work performed.
On November 23, 2015, Global Strategies
Group (North America) Inc., an affiliate of Holdings, and the Company entered into a services agreement, pursuant to which the
Company may retain Global Strategies Group (North America) Inc. from time to time to perform certain services: corporate development
services such as assisting the Company in post-integration matters, regulatory compliance support services, financial services
and financial reporting, business development and strategic services, marketing and public relations services, and human resources
services. Global Strategies Group (North America) Inc. is an affiliate of both the Company and a Board member. Amounts paid and
expensed under this agreement during the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 totaled $0.3 million and 0.1 million, respectively.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
There have been no significant changes to

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company maintains disclosure controls
and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports the period covered by Company
files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within
the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the
Company’s management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow
timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management
recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of
achieving the desired control objectives.
As of the end of the period covered by this
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we, including our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer, conducted an
evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934). Based upon this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure
controls and procedures are not effective in timely alerting management of any material information relating to us that is required
to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 due to the material weakness in
internal control over financial reporting described in “Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting”
in Item 9A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December, 31, 2016.
STG Group, Inc.

10Q Part I – Items 3 and 4
|
Remediation of Material Weaknesses in Internal Control over
Financial Reporting
Management is committed to improving our overall system of internal
control over financial reporting, including taking necessary steps to fully remediate the identified material weakness identified
as of December 31, 2015. Management determined that the Company’s review and monitoring controls over the consolidated income
tax provision failed to prevent or detect material errors in the calculation of the income tax provision for the year ended December
31, 2015, and that this was a material weakness in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. To assist with
remediation of the material weakness in internal controls over Financial Reporting the Company identified at December 31, 2015,
management has engaged a third party vendor to provide a comprehensive assessment of the Company’s internal controls over
financial reporting.
The comprehensive assessment of
the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting is currently in process. Although the activity completed to
date has not yet identified any material weaknesses, including the review and monitoring controls over the consolidated
income tax provision which resulted in the material weakness at December 31, 2015. We cannot conclude that no material
weakness exists until the comprehensive assessment is complete and any identified findings have been remediated and
tested.
Management believes that upon completion of the comprehensive
assessment, such measures should be sufficient to remediate the identified material weaknesses and strengthen our internal control
over financial reporting. We cannot assure you that these steps will remediate such weaknesses, nor can we be certain of whether
additional actions will be required or the costs of any such actions.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Other than in connection with the foregoing
and the remedial action outlined above, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred
during the second fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2017 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect,
our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
We are not currently subject to any material
legal proceedings, nor, to our knowledge, is any material legal proceeding threatened against us or any of our officers and directors
in their corporate capacity.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
There are no material changes to the disclosures
regarding risk factors made in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December, 31, 2016, except
as set forth in our Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2017 and as follows:
The agreements governing our indebtedness require us
to comply with financial maintenance covenants. We were not in compliance with certain of these covenants as of March 31, 2017
and June 30, 2017, which could result in the lenders declaring an event of default under the Credit Agreement, causing our indebtedness
under the Credit Agreement to become immediately due and payable. In the event the Lender exercises its rights to accelerate the
repayment of the loan, our inability to repay the debt obligation in that scenario would cause substantial doubt about the Company’s
ability to continue as a going concern.
Under our Credit Agreement, the
Company is required to meet certain minimums for its fixed charge coverage ratio and consolidated EBITDA and certain maximums
for its senior secured leverage ratio, as defined in the Credit Agreement (the “Specified Financial Covenants”).
As of September 30, 2016, December 31, 2016, March 31, 2017, and June 30, 2017 the Company was not in compliance with the
covenants related to the consolidated EBITDA and the senior secured leverage ratio and was also not in compliance with the
Specified Financial Covenants as of June 30, 2017. The Company remained in compliance with the Credit Agreement as of
September 30, 2016 by using a provision of the Credit Agreement that allowed us to cure (the “Cure Right”)
certain covenant non-compliance by issuance of Common Stock for cash and use of proceeds to reduce the principal balance of
the term loan. As a result, pursuant to the Credit Agreement, the financial covenants were recalculated giving effect to the
pay down of the debt, and we remained in compliance under the Credit Agreement.
As of December 31, 2016, we again did not satisfy the covenants relating to our required consolidated
senior secured leverage ratio and minimum consolidated EBITDA. On February 24, 2017, we entered into a Limited Forbearance to
Credit Agreement (the “February Forbearance Agreement”) with MC Admin Co LLC and the other lenders under the Credit
Agreement.
STG Group, Inc.
|
|
10Q – Part II
|
The Company then entered into a Limited
Waiver (“the Waiver”) from MC Admin Co LLC and other lenders under the Credit Agreement as of March 31, 2017, pursuant
to which the lenders waived the Company’s noncompliance with the Specified Financial Covenants as of December 31, 2016. Pursuant
to the Waiver:
|
•
|
Loans under the Credit Agreement are subject to additional interest at a rate of 2% per annum until the earliest of (x) the date on which all loans are repaid and all commitments under the Credit Agreement are terminated, (y) the date we deliver the financial statements and certificates for the quarter ending March 31, 2017 showing that we are not in default under the Credit Agreement or (z) the date on which default interest is otherwise due under the Credit Agreement;
|
|
•
|
We must obtain lender consent prior to using our revolving credit facility; and
|
|
•
|
We could not effect a Cure Right in respect of the quarter ending March 31, 2017.
|
The Waiver does not apply to covenant non-compliance
after December 31, 2016 or to covenants other than the Specified Financial Covenants.
As of March 31, 2017 the Company was not
in compliance with the covenants related to the consolidated EBITDA the senior secured leverage ratio, and the Lender has not granted
a waiver or forbearance. As of June 30, 2017 the Company was not in compliance with the Specified Financial Covenants, and the
Lender has not granted a waiver or forbearance.
If our business continues to perform at
the current level through that period, we do not expect to satisfy the Specified Financial Covenants at that time, and it is likely
that we will be in non-compliance at September 30, 2017. An inability to meet the required covenant levels could have a material
adverse impact on us, including the need for us to effect an additional Cure Right or obtain additional forbearance or an amendment,
waiver, or other changes in the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement does not allow the Company to exercise the Cure Right in
consecutive fiscal quarters, more than three fiscal quarters in the aggregate, or in more than two of any four fiscal quarters.
The amount allowed under the Cure Right may not exceed the lesser of $2.5 million and 20% of consolidated EBITDA. The aggregate
of Cure Rights may not exceed $5 million.
Any additional forbearance, amendment or waiver under the Credit Agreement may result
in increased interest rates or premiums and more restrictive covenants and other terms less advantageous to us, and may require
the payment of a fee for such forbearance, amendment or waiver. There can be no assurance that we would be able to obtain forbearance,
a waiver or amendment, or effect a cure, on terms acceptable to us.
Even if the Lender does grant forbearance
or an amendment to or waiver under the Credit Agreement, any future covenant non-compliance could give rise to an event of default
thereunder.
If the Lender does not grant forbearance
or an amendment to or waiver of our covenant non-compliance as of March 31, 2017 and June 30, 2017, the Budget Delivery Default,
or any future covenant non-compliance, the indebtedness under the Credit Agreement could be declared immediately due and payable,
which could have a material adverse effect on the Company.
