MAXIMUS, Inc.

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

For the Three and Nine Months Ended June 30, 2010 and 2009

In these Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements, the terms the “Company”, “MAXIMUS”, “us”, “we”, or “our” refer to MAXIMUS, Inc. and its subsidiaries.

1. Organization and Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full fiscal year. The balance sheet at September 30, 2009 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and notes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.

These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated audited financial statements and the notes thereto at September 30, 2009 and 2008 and for each of the three years in the period ended September 30, 2009, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2009 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 17, 2009.

2. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued a new accounting standard that provides guidance for business combinations. Under this standard, more transactions will be recorded as business combinations, as it changes the definitions of a business, which would no longer be required to be self-sustaining or revenue generating, and a business combination, which would include combinations that occur by contract alone or due to changes in substantive participation rights, such as a lapse in minority veto rights. Certain acquired contingencies will be recorded initially at fair value on the acquisition date. After the acquisition, if new information is available, contingent liabilities will be measured at the higher of the likely amount to be paid and the acquisition-date fair value. Contingent assets will be measured subsequently at the lower of the current estimated future amount to be realized and the acquisition-date fair value. Transaction and restructuring costs generally will be expensed as incurred. The Company adopted this standard in the current fiscal year, and applied the standard to the acquisition of DeltaWare (see Note 3 - Acquisition). The Company will utilize this standard on all such future transactions.

In December 2007, the FASB issued a new accounting standard that provides guidance on the accounting and reporting requirements for noncontrolling interests in financial statements. The guidance requires ownership interests in subsidiaries other than MAXIMUS, Inc. to be clearly identified, labeled and presented in the consolidated statement of financial position within equity, but separate from MAXIMUS, Inc.’s equity. It also requires the amount of consolidated net income attributable to MAXIMUS, Inc. and to the noncontrolling interest to be clearly identified and presented on the face of the consolidated statement of income. The Company does not have any material noncontrolling interests and, accordingly, there was no material impact on the adoption of this standard.

In February 2008, the FASB issued revised guidance delaying the effective date for requirements relating to the fair valuation of non-financial assets and liabilities, except for items that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis. For items within its scope, the update deferred the effective date of the fair value measurement to the start of the Company’s current fiscal year, or October 1, 2009. The Company has assessed the impact of this guidance for its non-financial assets and liabilities and determined that there was no material impact.

In September 2009, the FASB issued revised guidance for accounting for arrangements that contain more than one contract element. The revised guidance establishes a selling price hierarchy for determining the selling price of each contract element. The guidance also expands the required disclosures. The Company will adopt this standard on a prospective basis on October 1, 2010. We do not believe the adoption of this standard would have materially affected the accounting treatment for our existing contracts.

3. Acquisition

DeltaWare

On February 10, 2010 (the acquisition date), the Company acquired 100% of the share capital of DeltaWare, Inc. (DeltaWare). DeltaWare is a Canadian company specializing in health administration management systems. MAXIMUS acquired DeltaWare, among other reasons, to broaden its core health services offerings and strengthen its position in the administration of public health programs. The acquired assets and business will be integrated into the Company’s Operations segment.

The estimated acquisition date fair value of consideration transferred, assets acquired and liabilities are presented below and represent management’s best estimates (in thousands). Management is still in the process of completing certain assessments of fair value of these assets and liabilities.

Cash, net of cash acquired	$	9,097
Additional cash consideration payable	1,288
Contingent consideration obligations	3,015
Total fair value of consideration	$	13,400

Accounts receivable	$	2,010
Other tangible assets	1,571
Intangible assets	6,060
Total identifiable assets acquired	9,641

Accounts payable and other liabilities	2,278
Loans payable	870
Deferred revenue	723
Total liabilities assumed	3,871

Net identifiable assets acquired	5,770

Goodwill	7,630
Net assets acquired	$	13,400

On the acquisition date, we paid $9.1 million to the previous owners of DeltaWare in return for all of the outstanding ownership interests. Additional payments may be made to the previous owners based upon the final calculation of the tangible net worth of the business acquired. These payments are currently estimated to be an additional $1.3 million. In addition, we may make future additional payments (contingent consideration) totaling up to seven million Canadian Dollars in cash over the course of the next seven years. The contingent consideration payments are based upon the achievement of profitability and sales targets over the seven year period.

A liability totaling $3.0 million was recognized for an estimate of the acquisition date fair value of the contingent consideration. We determined the fair value of the liability based on a probability-weighted approach derived from management’s own estimates of profitability and sales targets. Any change in the estimated liability subsequent to the acquisition date fair value will be recognized in earnings in the period in which the change of estimate occurs. Between the acquisition date and June 30, 2010, the Company did not change any assumptions regarding the likelihood of payment of the balance.

4. Goodwill and Intangible Assets

The changes in goodwill for the nine months ended June 30, 2010 are as follows (in thousands):

	Consulting		Operations			Total
Balance as of September 30, 2009	$	18,646	$	42,383		$	61,029
Goodwill activity related to acquisitions	—		7,219			7,219
Foreign currency translation	—		(442		)	(442		)
Balance as of June 30, 2010	$	18,646	$	49,160		$	67,806

During the nine-month period ended June 30, 2010, the Company acquired DeltaWare, resulting in additional goodwill of $7.6 million (see Note 3 — Acquisition). The Company also had an adjustment to goodwill of approximately $0.4 million relating to the finalization of amounts related to a previous acquisition.

The following table sets forth the components of intangible assets (in thousands):

	As of September 30, 2009						As of June 30, 2010
	Cost		Accumulated Amortization		Intangible Assets, net		Cost		Accumulated Amortization		Intangible Assets, net

Technology-based intangible assets	$	3,370	$	3,370	$	—	$	7,091	$	3,538	$	3,553
Customer contracts and relationships	6,100		3,645		2,455		7,889		4,116		3,773
Non-compete arrangements	—		—		—		238		23		215
Trademark	—		—		—		611		24		587
Total	$	9,470	$	7,015	$	2,455	$	15,829	$	7,701	$	8,128

The intangible assets include $3.4 million of fully-amortized technology-based assets still in use by the Company. Excluding these assets, the Company’s intangible assets have a weighted average remaining life of 6.5 years, comprising 8.1 years for technology-based intangible assets, 4.6 years for customer contracts and relationships, 3.6 years for non-compete arrangements and 9.6 years for the trademark. Amortization expense for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2010 was $0.6 million and $1.6 million. Future amortization expense is estimated as follows (in thousands):

Three months ended September 30, 2010	$	550
Year ended September 30, 2011	1,955
Year ended September 30, 2012	1,090
Year ended September 30, 2013	1,013
Year ended September 30, 2014	676
Thereafter	2,844
Total	$	8,128

5. Fair Value Measurements

The Company is required to disclose the fair value of all assets and liabilities subject to fair value measurement and the nature of the valuation techniques, including their classification within the fair value hierarchy, utilized by the Company in performing these measurements.

The FASB provides a fair value framework which requires the categorization of assets and liabilities into three levels based upon the assumptions (or inputs) used to price the assets or liabilities. Level 1 provides the most reliable measure of fair value, whereas Level 3 generally requires significant management judgment. The three levels are defined as follows:

Level 1:		Observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2:		Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets and quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.

Level 3:		Unobservable inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions.

The Company’s financial assets subject to fair value measurements and the necessary disclosures are as follows (in thousands):

	Fair Value as of June 30,			Fair Value Measurements as of June 30, 2010 Using Fair Value Hierarchy
Description	2010			Level 1		Level 2		Level 3
Current portion of acquisition-related contingent consideration	$	(906	)	$	—	$	—	$	(906	)
Acquisition-related contingent consideration, less current portion	(2,100		)	—		—		(2,100		)

The Company’s only acquisition-related contingent consideration liability was incurred with the acquisition of DeltaWare in the current fiscal year. The fair value of the acquisition-related contingent consideration liability was based on a probability-weighted approach derived from management’s own estimates of profitability and sales targets. There has been no change to management’s estimates of profitability and sales targets between the acquisition date and June 30, 2010 and the only change to the value of the liability relates to foreign-exchange adjustments, which have been recorded as a component of other comprehensive income.

6. Commitments and Contingencies

Litigation

The Company is involved in various legal proceedings, including the matters described below, in the ordinary course of its business.

In March 2009, a state Medicaid agency asserted a claim against MAXIMUS in the amount of $2.3 million in connection with a contract MAXIMUS had through February 1, 2009 to provide Medicaid administrative claiming services to school districts in the state. MAXIMUS entered into separate agreements with the school districts under which MAXIMUS helped the districts prepare and submit claims to the state Medicaid agency which, in turn, submitted claims for reimbursement to the Federal government. No legal action has been initiated. The state has asserted that its agreement with MAXIMUS requires the Company to reimburse the state for the amounts owed to the Federal government. However, the Company’s agreements with the school districts require them to reimburse MAXIMUS for such payments and therefore MAXIMUS believes the school districts are responsible for any amounts disallowed by the state Medicaid agency or the Federal government. Accordingly, the Company believes its exposure in this matter is limited to its fees associated with this work and that the school districts will be responsible for the remainder. During the second quarter of fiscal 2009, MAXIMUS recorded a $0.7 million reduction of revenue reflecting the fees it earned under the contract. MAXIMUS has exited the Federal healthcare claiming business and no longer provides the services at issue in this matter.

In August 2010 the Company received a draft audit report prepared on behalf of one of its former SchoolMAX customers. The SchoolMAX business line was sold as part of the divestiture of the MAXIMUS Education Systems division in 2008. The draft audit report recommends a refund of approximately $11.6 million primarily arising out of the alleged failure of MAXIMUS and the buyer of the division to observe the most favored customer pricing term of the contract. MAXIMUS believes the audit report is incorrect and that no amounts are owed as a refund. The Company will work with the customer to resolve this matter before the audit report is finalized. To the extent that resolution is not reached, MAXIMUS will contest the matter through the dispute resolution process set forth in the contract.

Credit Facilities and Performance Bonds

The Company’s Revolving Credit Agreement provides for a senior secured revolving credit facility, with SunTrust Bank as administrative agent, issuing bank and swingline lender, and a syndicate of other lenders (the “Credit Facility”). The Credit Facility provides for a $35.0 million revolving line of credit commitment, which may be used (i) for revolving loans, (ii) for swingline loans, subject to a sublimit of $5.0 million, and (iii) to request the issuance of letters of credit on the Company’s behalf, subject to a sublimit of $25.0 million. The Company may request an increase in the commitment under the Credit Facility, such that the aggregate commitments under the Credit Facility shall at no time exceed $75.0 million. The credit available under the Credit Facility may be used, among other purposes, to refinance the Company’s current indebtedness, to repurchase shares of the Company’s capital stock and to finance the ongoing working capital, capital expenditure, and general corporate needs of the Company. The Credit Facility matures on January 25, 2013, at which time all outstanding borrowings must be repaid and all outstanding letters of credit must have been terminated or cash collateralized. At June 30, 2010, letters of credit totaling $10.3 million were outstanding under the Credit Facility.

Subject to applicable conditions, the Company may elect interest rates on its revolving borrowings calculated by reference to (i) the prime lending rate as announced by SunTrust Bank (or, if higher, the federal funds effective rate plus 0.50% or the one-month adjusted LIBOR) (a “Base Rate Borrowing”), or (ii) the reserve adjusted rate per annum equal to the offered rate for deposits in U.S. dollars for a one (1), two (2), three (3) or six (6) month period in the London Inter-Bank Market (a “LIBOR Borrowing”), and, in each case, plus an applicable margin that is determined by reference to the Company’s then-current leverage ratio. For swingline borrowings, the Company will pay interest at the rate of interest for a one (1) month LIBOR Borrowing, plus the applicable margin, or at a rate to be separately agreed upon by the Company and the administrative agent.

Table of Contents

The Credit Facility, as amended by the Company and its lender on December 12, 2008, provides for the payment of specified fees and expenses, including an up-front fee and commitment and letter of credit fees, and contains customary financial and other covenants that require the maintenance of certain ratios including a maximum leverage ratio and a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio. The Company was in compliance with all covenants in the amended Credit Facility as of June 30, 2010. The Company’s obligations under the Credit Facility are guaranteed by certain of the Company’s direct and indirect subsidiaries (collectively, the “Guarantors”) and are secured by substantially all of MAXIMUS’ and the Guarantors’ present and future tangible and intangible assets, including the capital stock of subsidiaries and other investment property.

In addition to this credit facility, the Company has a loan agreement with the Atlantic Innovation Fund of Canada, which was acquired as part of the DeltaWare acquisition (see Note 3 — Acquisition). This provides for a loan of up to 1.7 million Canadian Dollars, which must be used for specific technology-based research and development. The loan has no interest charge and is repayable in installments between 2012 and 2022. At June 30, 2010, $1.2 million (1.2 million Canadian Dollars) was outstanding under this agreement. Borrowings using this facility reduce the availability of credit under the Revolving Credit Agreement.

Certain contracts require us to provide a surety bond as a guarantee of performance. At September 30, 2009 and June 30, 2010, the Company had performance bond commitments totaling $71.1 million and $33.8 million, respectively. These bonds are typically renewed annually and remain in place until the contractual obligations have been satisfied. Although the triggering events vary from contract to contract, in general, we would only be liable for the amount of these guarantees in the event of default in our performance of our obligations under each contract, the probability of which we believe is remote.

Legal and settlement expense (recovery), net consists of costs, net of reimbursed insurance claims, related to significant legal settlements and non-routine legal matters, including future probable legal costs estimated to be incurred in connection with those matters. Legal expenses incurred in the ordinary course of business are included in selling, general and administrative expense.

Following a change in accounting standards, from October 1, 2009 the incremental costs of acquisitions, including legal fees, brokerage fees, and valuation reports, are included in this balance. Under previous accounting guidance, these expenses were included as part of the acquisition consideration of successful acquisitions. The following table sets forth the matters that represent legal and settlement expense (recovery), net:

	Three months Ended June 30,					Nine months Ended June 30,
(in thousands)	2009			2010		2009			2010
Acquisition expenses relating to DeltaWare	$	—		$	—	$	—		$	254

12. Discontinued Operations

In September 2009, the Company committed to a sale of its ERP business. We are actively pursuing a buyer and expect to complete this sale by the end of the current fiscal year. The financial position, results of operations, and cash flows of this division, which were previously included in the Company’s Consulting segment, are reported as discontinued operations and all prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current period’s presentation.

Effective January 28, 2010, the Company entered into a Mutual Release and Settlement Agreement with a customer of the ERP business under which both parties agreed to a transfer of the project back to the client. The resolution resulted in an after-tax charge to the Company of $2.2 million, which was recorded in the three months ended December 31, 2009.

During fiscal 2008, the Company disposed of five business divisions. Although these sales occurred prior to September 30, 2008, the final sales prices for these divisions were based upon evaluation of the net assets transferred to the purchaser. Accordingly, further losses on disposal continued to be recorded during the nine months ended June 30, 2009.

The following table summarizes the operating results of the discontinued operations included in the Consolidated Statements of Operations (in thousands):

We present constant currency revenue information to provide a framework for assessing how our business performed excluding the effect of foreign currency rate fluctuations. To present this information, current quarter and year-to-date revenue from foreign operations is converted into United States dollars using average exchange rates from the same periods in fiscal 2009. All our foreign operations are in the Operations Segment.

We also present organic growth revenue information to provide a framework for assessing how the business performed excluding the effect of business combinations. To present this information, revenue from recently-acquired entities is removed from the current period where no comparative revenues exist in the same period in fiscal 2009.

Both constant currency and organic growth revenue information are non-GAAP numbers. We believe that these numbers provide a useful basis for assessing the Company’s performance. The presentation of these non-GAAP numbers is not meant to be considered in isolation, or as an alternative to revenue growth as a measure of performance.

Table of Contents

Revenue increased $34.3 million, or 19.4%, for the three month period ended June 30, 2010, compared to the same period in fiscal 2009. On a constant currency basis, revenue growth would have been $28.0 million, or 15.9%. Organic revenue growth was $28.3 million (or 16.0%), or $22.0 million (or 12.5%) on a constant currency basis. Out of total revenue growth, $6.0 million was attributable to acquisitions. Acquisitions and foreign exchange affected only the Operations segment.

The principal driver of revenue growth came from the Operations segment. Operations segment revenue for the quarter increased $30.9 million (or 18.7%) compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year, driven by expanded scope and new work in Australia and the United Kingdom as well as $6.0 million of revenue from businesses acquired within the last twelve months. In fiscal 2009, MAXIMUS was awarded an expanded contract in Australia which doubled the size of the Company’s work in that region. In the UK, MAXIMUS was awarded a 5-year, $200 million welfare-to-work program which started on October 1, 2009. In June 2010, MAXIMUS and all other providers were notified that this contract will expire in June 2011. The government is launching a welfare reform plan and has consolidated most welfare-to-work programs under the new Work Programme, which is scheduled to be bid in fall 2010.

Revenue increased $93.6 million, or 17.9%, for the nine month period ended June 30, 2010, compared to the same period in fiscal 2009. On a constant currency basis, revenue growth would have been $65.6 million, or 12.5%. Organic revenue growth was $80.9 million (or 15.5%), or $52.9 million (or 10.1%) on a constant currency basis. Out of total revenue growth, $12.7 million was attributable to acquisitions.

The principal driver of revenue growth was the Operations segment. Operations segment revenue increased $99.0 million and generated over 93% of the Company’s total revenues. This growth was driven by the new contracts in Australia and the United Kingdom and by $12.7 million of growth from acquisitions. Consulting revenues for the same period declined by $5.5 million. Much of the decline is the result of a $4.8 million pass through of revenue in 2009 relating to the New York City Department of Education contract. No significant pass-throughs occurred in 2010.

Gross profit and segment operating income for the three month period ended June 30, 2010 increased compared to the same period in fiscal 2009 by $8.9 million (or 18.5%) and $4.4 million (or 20.6%), respectively. Gross profit and segment operating income for the nine month period ended June 30, 2010 increased compared to the same period in fiscal 2009 by $18.5 million (or 13.0%) and $11.1 million (or 18.0%), respectively. These increases were driven by factors consistent with revenue growth, principally the growth from the Australian and United Kingdom contracts.

Selling, general and administrative expense (SG&A) consists of costs related to general management, marketing and administration. These costs include salaries, benefits, bid and proposal efforts, travel, recruiting, continuing education, employee training, non-chargeable labor costs, facilities costs, printing, reproduction, communications, equipment depreciation, intangible amortization, and legal expenses incurred in the ordinary course of business. SG&A as a percentage of revenue has declined year-on-year for both the three months and nine months ended June 30, 2010, compared to the prior year. This is the result of improved efficiencies within the business.

Following a change in accounting standards, from October 1, 2009 the incremental costs of acquisitions, including legal fees, brokerage fees, and valuation reports, are included in this line item. Under previous accounting guidance, these expenses were included as part of the acquisition consideration of successful acquisitions. The following table sets forth the matters that represent legal and settlement expense (recovery), net:

Provision for income taxes was 37.5% of income from continuing operations before income taxes for the three months and nine months ended June 30, 2010. The respective rate was 39.5% for both comparative periods in fiscal 2009. The effective rate has declined as a greater share of the Company’s income is being generated in jurisdictions with lower tax rates than those in the United States.

Income from continuing operations, net of income taxes was $16.4 million, or $0.91 per diluted share, for the three months ended June 30, 2010, compared with $15.9 million, or $0.89 per diluted share, for the same period in fiscal 2009. The increase in income from continuing operations, net of income taxes of $0.5 million is primarily driven by increases in revenue within the Operations Segment and a decline in the Company’s effective tax rate resulting from a larger mix of international business, offset by a $6.3 million, pre-tax, insurance recovery in the year-ago period.

Income from continuing operations, net of income taxes was $49.2 million, or $2.73 per diluted share, for the nine months ended June 30, 2010, compared with $40.2 million, or $2.25 per diluted share, for the same period in fiscal 2009. The increase in income from continuing operations, net of income taxes of $9.0 million is primarily driven by increases in revenue within the Operations Segment, as well as a decline in the Company’s effective tax rate, resulting from a larger mix of international business.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Current Economic Environment

The economic climate is a challenging one at present for all businesses. The Company operates in a number of jurisdictions across the globe and the issues which arise vary according to local conditions. In general, many of our customers are experiencing increased demand for critical services for the most vulnerable members of society, yet are also experiencing declines in the tax revenues they rely upon to fund these services. In prior periods, the Company has faced short-term payment delays from state customers, all of which were ultimately recovered. The Company believes its liquidity and capital positions are adequate to weather short-term payment delays. In the event of more protracted delays, the Company may be required to seek additional capital sources, amend payment terms or take other actions. Extended payment delays could adversely affect the Company’s cash flows, operations and profitability.

A number of governments worldwide have passed economic stimulus legislation. The Company believes that demand for its services in its core areas of health, education and human services will remain strong and that these stimulus packages could ultimately increase demand for such services. However, any increases in demand resulting from stimulus legislation will depend largely upon the timing, amount and nature of the stimulus.

Cash Flows

(dollars in thousands)	2009			2010

Net cash provided by (used in):
Operating activities — continuing operations	$	25,791		$	119,770

Effect of exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents	(656		)	(1,679		)
Net increase/(decrease) in cash and cash equivalents	$	(27,939	)	$	65,244

Cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations for the nine months ended June 30, 2010 was $119.8 million, compared to $25.8 million for the same period in fiscal 2009. The difference of $94.0 million is primarily driven by (1) improved operating results, particularly in the Company’s overseas contracts, (2) advanced payments received in the United Kingdom and Australia from favorable billing terms and to cover the start-up costs of new projects, and (3) the receipt of $7.5 million of insurance recoveries in the current year, compared with the payment in fiscal 2009 of $40 million, offset by insurance recoveries of $18.8 million to cover arbitration matters which have not recurred in the current period.

Cash used in operating activities from discontinued operations for the nine months ended June 30, 2010 was $1.6 million, compared to $2.3 million for the same period in fiscal 2009. Discontinued operations in 2010 have been adversely affected by payments relating to the mutual termination of a contract, offset by large cash receipts from customers.

Cash used in investing activities from continuing operations for the nine months ended June 30, 2010 was $26.9 million, compared to $15.0 million for the same period in fiscal 2009. The increase in cash used in investing activities from continuing operations of $11.9 million is primarily attributable to payments made for the acquisition of the DeltaWare business in the current period.

Cash used in financing activities from continuing operations for the nine months ended June 30, 2010 was $24.4 million, compared to $35.8 million for the same period in fiscal 2009. The decrease in cash used in financing activities from continuing operations of $11.4 million is primarily attributable to the decline in repurchases of common stock. Repurchases of common stock were $22.5 million in fiscal 2010, compared with $30.0 million in fiscal 2009.

Table of Contents

The adverse effect of exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents of $1.7 million in the nine month period ended June 30, 2010 was due to the impact of the strengthening United States dollar on cash and cash equivalents held in our foreign operations.

To supplement our statements of cash flows presented on a GAAP basis, we use the non-GAAP measure of free cash flows from continuing operations to analyze the funds generated from operations. We believe free cash flow from continuing operations is a useful basis for comparing our performance with our competitors. The presentation of non-GAAP free cash flows from continuing operations is not meant to be considered in isolation, or as an alternative to net income as an indicator of performance, or as an alternative to cash flows from operating activities as a measure of liquidity. We calculate free cash flow from continuing operations as follows:

	Nine Months Ended June 30,
(dollars in thousands)	2009			2010

Cash provided by operating activities — continuing operations	$	25,791		$	119,770
Purchases of property and equipment	(10,604		)	(10,383		)
Capitalized software costs	(5,037		)	(6,307		)
Free cash flow from continuing operations	$	10,150		$	103,080

Repurchases of the Company’s common stock

Credit arrangements

Table of Contents

The Credit Facility contains customary financial and other covenants that require the maintenance of certain ratios including a maximum leverage ratio and a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio. The Company was in compliance with all covenants in the Credit Facility as of June 30, 2010. The Company’s obligations under the Credit Facility are guaranteed by certain of the Company’s direct and indirect subsidiaries (collectively, the “Guarantors”) and are secured by substantially all of MAXIMUS’ and the Guarantors’ present and future tangible and intangible assets, including the capital stock of subsidiaries and other investment property.

In addition to this credit facility, the Company has a loan agreement with the Atlantic Innovation Fund of Canada, which was acquired as part of the DeltaWare acquisition (see Note 3 — Acquisition). This provides for a loan of up to 1.7 million Canadian Dollars, which must be used for specific technology-based research and development. The loan has no interest charge and is repayable in installments between 2012 and 2022. At June 30, 2010, 1.2 million Canadian Dollars ($1.2 million) was outstanding under this agreement. Borrowings using this facility reduce the availability of credit under the Revolving Credit Agreement.

Other

Our working capital at June 30, 2010 was $193.1 million. At June 30, 2010, we had cash and cash equivalents of $153.1 million and $1.2 million of debt. Management believes this liquidity and financial position, along with the revolving credit facility discussed above, provides sufficient liquidity to continue any contemplated stock repurchase program (depending on the price of the Company’s common stock), to pursue selective acquisitions, and to consider the continuation of dividends on a quarterly basis. Restricted cash at June 30, 2010 was $3.8 million. Restricted cash represents amounts collected on behalf of certain customers where its use is restricted to the purposes specified under our contracts with these customers, and amounts on deposit with foreign banks as compensating balances for certain bank guarantees.

Under the provisions of certain long-term contracts, we may incur certain reimbursable transition period costs. During the transition period, these expenditures result in the use of our cash. Reimbursement of these costs may occur in the set-up phase or over the contract operating period. Related revenue may also be deferred during the set-up phase. As of June 30, 2010, $6.9 million in net costs had been incurred and reported as deferred contract costs on our consolidated balance sheet.

We believe that we will have sufficient resources to meet our currently anticipated capital expenditures and working capital requirements for at least the next twelve months.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations are based on our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent liabilities and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates including those related to revenue recognition and cost estimation on certain contracts, the realizability of goodwill, and amounts related to income taxes, certain accrued liabilities and contingencies and litigation. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Table of Contents

We believe that we do not have significant off-balance-sheet risk or exposure to liabilities that are not recorded or disclosed in our financial statements. While we have significant operating lease commitments for office space, those commitments are generally tied to the period of performance under related contracts. Additionally, although on certain contracts we are bound by performance bond commitments and standby letters of credit, we have not had any defaults resulting in draws on performance bonds. Also, we do not speculate in derivative transactions.

During the nine months ended June 30, 2010, there were no significant changes to the critical accounting policies we disclosed in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2009.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued a new accounting standard that provides guidance for business combinations. Under this standard, more transactions will be recorded as business combinations, as it changes the definitions of a business, which would no longer be required to be self-sustaining or revenue generating, and a business combination, which would include combinations that occur by contract alone or due to changes in substantive participation rights, such as a lapse in minority veto rights. Certain acquired contingencies will be recorded initially at fair value on the acquisition date. After the acquisition, if new information is available, contingent liabilities will be measured at the higher of the likely amount to be paid and the acquisition-date fair value. Contingent assets will be measured subsequently at the lower of the current estimated future amount to be realized and the acquisition-date fair value. Transaction and restructuring costs generally will be expensed as incurred. The Company adopted this standard in the current fiscal year and applied the standard to the acquisition of DeltaWare (see Note 3 - Acquisition). The Company will utilize this standard on all such future transactions.

In September 2009, the FASB issued revised guidance for accounting for contracts that contain more than one contract element. The revised guidance establishes a selling price hierarchy for determining the selling price of each contract element. The guidance also expands the required disclosures. The Company will adopt this standard on a prospective basis on October 1, 2010. We do not believe the adoption of this standard would have materially affected the accounting treatment for our existing contracts.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.

We believe that our exposure to market risk related to the effect of changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices and other market risks with regard to instruments entered into for trading or for other purposes is immaterial.

There have been no material changes to the information presented in Item 7A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2009.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that these disclosure controls and procedures were effective and designed to ensure that the information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the requisite time periods.

(b) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

By the third quarter of fiscal 2010, the Company had substantially completed the phased implementation of an enterprise resource planning (“ERP”) system and completed installation of core financial modules for all US based divisions. We have updated the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting as necessary to accommodate modifications to business processes and accounting procedures. However, the internal control design remained substantially unchanged for the implementation. There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) identified in connection with the evaluation of our internal control that occurred during our last fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
