1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

We prepared our interim consolidated condensed financial statements that accompany these notes in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X.

The interim financial information is unaudited, but reflects all normal adjustments that are, in our opinion, necessary to provide a fair statement of results for the interim periods presented. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the annual financial statements have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those instructions. This interim information should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2012, contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 12, 2013. Interim results may not be indicative of our full fiscal year performance.

Corporate Organization

The KEYW Holding Corporation (“Holdco”, "KEYW" or the "Company") was incorporated in Maryland in December 2009. Holdco is a holding company and conducts its operations through The KEYW Corporation (“Opco”) and its subsidiaries. Opco was incorporated in Maryland in May 2008 and began operations on August 4, 2008. Opco became Holdco's wholly-owned subsidiary on December 29, 2009, as part of a corporate reorganization (the “Reorganization”).

Pursuant to the Reorganization, all of the capital stock, options, and warrants of Opco were exchanged for an equal number of shares of capital stock, options, and warrants of Holdco, having substantially identical terms as the Opco instruments, except that certain terms of the Opco warrants were modified in the Reorganization when exchanged for replacement Holdco warrants so that the warrants would no longer be classified as liability instruments under current accounting guidance.

KEYW is a highly specialized provider of mission-critical cybersecurity, cyber superiority and geospatial intelligence solutions to U.S. Government defense, intelligence and national security agencies and commercial enterprises. Our core capabilities include solutions, services and products to support the collection, processing, analysis, and use of intelligence data and information in the domains of cyberspace and geospace. Our solutions are designed to respond to meet the critical needs for agile intelligence in the cyber age and to assist the U.S. government in national security priorities.

We have acquired more than fifteen businesses or operating entities since our inception. See Note 2 - Acquisitions for additional information on these acquisitions.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the transactions of KEYW, Opco and their wholly owned subsidiaries from the date of their acquisition. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

Revenue Recognition

We derive the majority of our revenue from time-and-materials, firm-fixed-price, cost-plus-fixed-fee, and cost-plus-award-fee contracts. Revenues from cost reimbursable contracts are recorded as reimbursable costs are incurred, including an estimated share of the applicable contractual fees earned. For performance-based fees under cost reimbursable contracts, we recognize the relevant portion of the expected fee to be awarded by the client at the time such fee can be reasonably estimated, based on factors such as prior award experience and communications with the client regarding performance. For cost reimbursable contracts with performance-based fee incentives, we recognize the relevant portion of the fee upon customer approval. For time-and-materials contracts, revenue is recognized based on billable rates times hours delivered plus materials and other reimbursable costs incurred. For firm-fixed price service contracts, revenue is recognized using the proportional performance based on the estimated total costs of the project. For fixed-price production contracts, revenue and cost are recognized at a rate per unit as the units are delivered or by other methods to measure services provided. This method of accounting requires estimating the total revenues and total contract costs of the contract. During the performance of contracts, these estimates are periodically reviewed and revisions are made as required. The impact on revenue and contract profit as a result of these revisions is included in the periods in which the revisions are made. This method can result in the deferral of costs or the deferral of profit on these contracts. Because we assume the risk of performing a fixed-price contract at a set price, the failure to accurately estimate ultimate costs or to control costs during performance of the work could result, and in some instances has resulted, in reduced profits or losses on such contracts. Estimated losses on contracts at completion are recognized when identified.

THE KEYW HOLDING CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

Contract revenue recognition inherently involves estimation. Examples of estimates include the contemplated level of effort to accomplish the tasks under the contract, the cost of the effort, and an ongoing assessment of our progress toward completing the contract. From time to time, as part of our management processes, facts develop that require us to revise our estimated total costs or revenue. To the extent that a revised estimate affects contract profit or revenue previously recognized, we record the cumulative effect of the revision in the period in which the facts requiring the revision become known.

In certain circumstances, and based on correspondence with the end customer, management authorizes work to commence or to continue on a contract option, addition or amendment prior to the signing of formal modifications or amendments. We recognize revenue to the extent it is probable that the formal modifications or amendments will be finalized in a timely manner and that it is probable that the revenue recognized will be collected.

Revenue from software arrangements is allocated to each element of the arrangement based on the relative fair values of the elements, such as software licenses, upgrades, enhancements, maintenance contract types and type of service delivered, installation or training. The determination of fair value is based on objective evidence that is specific to the vendor (“VSOE”). If VSOE of fair value for each element of the arrangement does not exist, all revenue from the arrangement is deferred until such time as VSOE of fair value exists or until all elements of the arrangement are delivered, except in those circumstances in which the residual method may be used as described below.

With the Sensage acquisition, the Company's software products are licensed on a perpetual basis. In addition, the Company provides maintenance under a separate maintenance agreement, typically twelve months. Maintenance includes technical support and unspecified software upgrades and enhancements if and when available. Revenue from perpetual software licenses is recognized under the residual method for arrangements in which the software is sold with maintenance and/or professional services, and the Company has established VSOE of fair value for maintenance and professional services.

The Company recognizes software licenses, maintenance or professional services revenue only when there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement, delivery to the customer has occurred, the fee is fixed and determinable and collectability is reasonably assured.

Revenue from maintenance is deferred and recognized ratably over the term of each maintenance agreement. Revenue from professional services is recognized as the services are performed.

All revenue is net of intercompany adjustments.

Cost of Revenues

Cost of revenues consists primarily of compensation expenses for program personnel, the fringe benefits associated with this compensation and other direct expenses incurred to complete programs, including cost of materials and subcontract efforts.

Inventories

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost (determined on a weighted average basis) or market. Our inventory consists of specialty products that we manufacture on a limited quantity basis for our customers. We manufacture at quantity levels that are projected to be sold in the six month period following production. The Company has not had any products sold below their standard pricing less applicable volume discounts. At June 30, 2013, and December 31, 2012, we had an inventory reserve balance of $1,313,000 and $963,000 respectively, for certain products where the market has not developed as expected.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable are stated at the amount management expects to collect from outstanding balances. Invoice terms range from net 10 days to net 45 days. Management provides for probable uncollectible amounts through a charge to earnings and a credit to a valuation allowance (allowance for doubtful accounts) based on its assessment of the current status of individual accounts. Balances that are still outstanding after management has used reasonable collection efforts are written-off through a charge to the valuation allowance and a credit to accounts receivable.

Property and Equipment

All property and equipment are stated at acquisition cost or in the case of self-constructed assets, the cost of labor and a reasonable allocation of overhead costs (no general and administrative costs are included). The cost of maintenance and repairs, which do not significantly improve or extend the life of the respective assets, are charged to operations as incurred.

Provisions for depreciation and amortization are computed on either a straight-line method or accelerated methods acceptable under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) over the estimated useful lives of between 3 and 7 years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lesser of the lives of the underlying leases or the estimated useful lives of the assets.

THE KEYW HOLDING CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

Lease Incentives

As part of entering into the lease for the Company's current headquarters in 2012, the lessor provided the Company with a tenant improvement allowance. Typically, such allowances are in the form of cash and represent reimbursements to the Company for tenant improvements made to the leased space. These improvements are capitalized as property and equipment, and the allowances are classified as a deferred lease incentive liability. This incentive is considered a reduction of rental expense by the lessee over the term of the lease and is recognized on a straight-line basis over the same term.

Software Development Costs

Costs of internally developed software for resale are expensed until the technological feasibility of the software product has been established. In accordance with the pronouncement on software development costs of the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”), software development costs are capitalized and amortized over the product's estimated useful life. The Company determined that it had achieved technological feasibility during the third quarter of 2012 on certain software being developed and has capitalized balances of approximately $4.3 million and $1.5 million of software development costs as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. No amortization was recognized related to these capitalized software costs as of June 30, 2013 as the product was not yet available for sale.

Long-Lived Assets (Excluding Goodwill)

The Company follows the provisions of FASB ASC topic 360-10-35, Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets in accounting for long-lived assets such as property and equipment and intangible assets subject to amortization. The guidance requires that long-lived assets be reviewed for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be fully recoverable. The possibility of impairment exists if the sum of the long-term undiscounted cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the long-lived asset being evaluated. Impairment losses are measured as the difference between the carrying value of long-lived assets and their fair market value based on discounted cash flows of the related assets. Impairment losses are treated as permanent reductions in the carrying amount of the assets.

Goodwill

Purchase price in excess of the fair value of tangible assets and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination are recorded as goodwill. In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 350-20, Goodwill, the Company tests for impairment at least annually, using a two-step approach. Impairment of goodwill is tested at the reporting unit level by comparing the reporting unit's carrying amount, including goodwill, to the fair value of the reporting unit. As of the measurement date October 1, 2012, the Company operates as two reporting units. The fair value of each reporting unit is estimated using a combination of income and market approaches. If the carrying amount of the unit exceeds its fair value, goodwill is considered impaired and a second step is performed to measure the amount of impairment loss, if any. The Company evaluated goodwill during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2012 and concluded there was no impairment to the carrying value of goodwill.

Intangibles

Intangible assets consist of the value of customer related intangibles acquired in various acquisitions. Intangible assets are amortized on a straight line basis over their estimated useful lives unless the pattern of usage of the benefits indicates an alternative method is more representative. The useful lives of the intangibles range from one to seven years.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

We maintain cash balances that, at times exceed the federally insured limit on a per financial institution basis. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk related to cash. In addition, we have credit risk associated with our receivables that arise in the ordinary course of business. In excess of 90% of our contracts are issued by the U.S. Government and any disruption to cash payments from our end customer could put the Company at risk.

Use of Estimates

Management uses estimates and assumptions in preparing these consolidated financial statements in accordance with US GAAP. Those estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported revenues and expenses. Significant estimates include amortization lives, depreciation lives, percentage of completion revenue, inventory obsolescence reserves, income taxes and stock compensation expense. Actual results could vary from the estimates that were used.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

We consider all highly liquid investments purchased with expected original maturities of three months or less, when purchased, to be cash equivalents.

THE KEYW HOLDING CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The balance sheet includes various financial instruments consisting of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and accounts payable. The fair values of these instruments approximate the carrying values due to the short maturity of these instruments. The carrying amount of the debt approximates its fair value and is based on its effective interest compared to the current market rates.

Research and Development

Internally funded research and development expenses are expensed as incurred and are included in cost of operations in the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of operations. In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 730 - Research and Development, such costs consist primarily of payroll, materials, subcontractor and an allocation of overhead costs related to product development. Research and development costs totaled $1,846,000 and $1,629,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and June 30, 2012, respectively. Research and development costs totaled $3,009,000 and $2,466,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and June 30, 2012, respectively.

Income Taxes

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enacted date. We will establish a valuation allowance if we determine that it is more likely than not that a deferred tax asset will not be realized.

For a tax position that meets the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold, the Company initially and subsequently measures the tax liability or benefit as the largest amount that it judges to have a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with a taxing authority. The liability associated with unrecognized tax benefits is adjusted periodically due to changing circumstances, such as the progress of tax audits, case law developments and new or emerging legislation. Such adjustments are recognized entirely in the period in which they are identified. The effective tax rate includes the net impact of changes in the liability for unrecognized tax obligations or benefits and subsequent adjustments as considered appropriate by management. The Company's policy is to record interest and penalties as an increase in the liability for uncertain tax obligations or benefits and a corresponding increase to the income tax provision. No such adjustments were recorded during the three and six month periods ended as of June 30, 2013 or the year ended December 31, 2012.

Earnings per Share

Basic net income per share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income by the diluted weighted average common shares, which reflects the potential dilution of stock options, warrants, and contingently issuable shares that could share in our income if the securities were exercised.

The following table presents the calculation of basic and diluted net (loss) income per share (in thousands except per share amounts):



	Three Months Ended					Six Months Ended

Outstanding options and warrants, total	7,893			7,212		7,893			7,212

Employee equity share options, similar equity instruments, and warrants granted by the Company are treated as potential common shares outstanding in computing diluted earnings per share. Diluted shares outstanding include the dilutive effect of in-the-money options and in-the-money warrants. The dilutive effect of such equity awards is calculated based on the average share price for each fiscal period using the treasury stock method. Under the treasury stock method, the amount the employee must pay for

THE KEYW HOLDING CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

exercising stock options, the amount of compensation cost for future service that the Company has not yet recognized, and the amount of tax benefits that would be recorded in additional paid-in capital when the award becomes deductible, are collectively assumed to be used to repurchase shares.

Stock Based Compensation

As discussed in Note 10, the shareholders approved the 2013 KEYW Holding Corporation Stock Incentive Plan in August 2012. The 2013 Stock Incentive Plan, which took effect on January 1, 2013, replaced the 2009 Stock Incentive Plan. The Company adopted the 2009 Stock Incentive Plan in December 2009 in conjunction with the corporate reorganization. The Company had originally adopted a stock option plan in 2008. The Company applies the fair value method that requires all share-based payments to employees and non-employee directors, including grants of employee stock options, to be expensed over their requisite service period based on their fair value at the grant date, using a prescribed option-pricing model. We use the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to value share-based payments. Compensation expense related to share-based awards is recognized on an accelerated basis. The expense recognized is based on the straight-line amortization of each individually vesting piece of a grant. Our typical grant vests 25% at issuance and 25% per year over the next three years. We expense the initial 25% vesting at issuance, the second over twelve months, the third over twenty-four months and the fourth over thirty-six months. The calculated expense is required to be based upon awards that ultimately vest and we have accordingly reduced the expense by estimated forfeitures.

The following assumptions were used for option grants during the periods ended June 30, 2013 and June 30, 2012.

Dividend Yield — The Company has never declared or paid dividends on its common stock and has no plans to do so in the foreseeable future.

Risk-Free Interest Rate — Risk-free interest rate is based on U.S. Treasury zero-coupon issues with a remaining term approximating the expected life of the option term assumed at the date of grant.

Expected Volatility — Volatility is a measure of the amount by which a financial variable such as a share price has fluctuated (historical volatility) or is expected to fluctuate (expected volatility) during a period. The expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of existing comparable public companies for a period that approximates the estimated life of the options. The Company used comparable public companies volatility due to insufficient trading history of our own stock until the fourth quarter of 2012, at which time the Company began using its own volatility.

Expected Term of the Options - This is the period of time that the options granted are expected to remain unexercised. The Company estimates the expected life of the option term based on the expected tenure of employees and historical experience.

Forfeiture Rate — The Company estimates the percentage of options granted that are expected to be forfeited or canceled on an annual basis before stock options become fully vested. The Company uses the forfeiture rate that is a blend of past turnover data and a projection of expected results over the following twelve month period based on projected levels of operations and headcount levels at various classification levels with the Company.

Segment Reporting

FASB ASC Section 280, Segment Reporting, establishes standards for the way that public business enterprises report information about operating segments in annual financial statements and requires that these enterprises report selected information about operating segments in interim financial reports. The guidance also establishes standards for related disclosures about products and services, geographic areas and major customers. Management has concluded that the Company, beginning in the fourth quarter of 2011, operates in two segments based upon the information used by the chief operating decision maker to evaluate the performance of its business and allocating resources and capital. These segments are Services and Integrated Solutions. Our Services segment encompasses revenue generated from labor-based activities. The Integrated Solutions segment contains all activities of our Company that are product related or originated from a product.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In July 2012, the FASB issued guidance on testing for indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment. The new guidance provides an entity to simplify the testing for a drop in value of intangible assets such as trademarks, patents, and distribution rights. The amended standard reduces the cost of accounting for indefinite-lived intangible assets, especially in cases where the likelihood of impairment is low. The changes permit businesses and other organizations to first use subjective criteria to determine if an intangible asset has lost value. The amendments to U.S. GAAP are effective for fiscal years starting after September 15, 2012. The Company's adoption of this accounting guidance did not have a material impact on its financial statements and related disclosures as it has no indefinite-lived intangible assets other than Goodwill.

2. ACQUISITIONS

The Company has completed more than fifteen acquisitions since it began operations in August 2008. The acquisitions were made to increase the Company’s skill sets and to create sufficient critical mass to be able to serve as prime contractor on significant contracts. All of the acquisitions resulted in the Company recording goodwill and other intangibles. The goodwill was a result of the acquisitions focusing on acquiring cleared personnel to expand our presence with our main customer. The value of having that personnel generated the majority of the goodwill from the transactions and drove much of the purchase price. Several of the acquisitions involved issuance of Company common stock. The stock price for acquisition accounting was determined by the fair value on the acquisition date.

Details of the acquisitions completed since January 1, 2012 are outlined below:

Poole and Associates, Inc.

On October 1, 2012, the Company acquired Poole and Associates, Inc. ("Poole") for $116.0 million in cash and 794,913 shares of KEYW common stock valued at $12.58 per share for a total purchase price of $126.0 million adjusted for working capital targets as defined in the purchase agreement. The goodwill and intangible assets associated with this acquisition are not deductible for tax purposes, however the identified intangible assets are amortized under US GAAP. The Company has recorded $21.7 million of intangible assets related to acquired contracts, contract based rights and trade name. These assets will be amortized over periods from 2 - 5 years.

Poole was founded in 1999 and is headquartered in Annapolis Junction, MD. Poole provides systems engineering, software development, program management, and technical support to the intelligence community as well as bringing several prime contracts to the Company. Poole had approximately 152 employees at the time of acquisition, of whom 124 had security clearances at the highest level.

Sensage, Inc

On October 12, 2012, the Company acquired Sensage, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary Sensage International, Inc. ("Sensage") for $15.0 million in cash and 713,151 shares of KEYW stock valued at $12.62 for a total initial purchase price of $24.0 million as adjusted for working capital targets as defined in the purchase agreement. There was additional consideration consisting of up to $7.5 million of KEYW common stock and $3.0 million of the cash contingent upon Sensage meeting certain revenue targets for the second half of 2012. Based on the actual performance during the earn-out period, an additional $78,000 of cash was paid to Sensage shareholders from the earn-out. The goodwill and intangibles are not deductible for tax purposes, however the identified intangible assets are amortized under US GAAP. The Company has recorded $8.5 million of intangible assets related to acquired customer relationships, intellectual property and trade name. These assets will be amortized over periods ranging from 1 year - 5 years.

Sensage was founded in 2001 and is headquartered in Redwood City, CA. Sensage provides system incident event management software through its proprietary solution and brings commercial software experience to the Company. Sensage had approximately 35 employees at the time of acquisition most of whom were not cleared at any level.

Other 2012 Acquisitions

During the fourth quarter of 2012, subsequent to the above acquisitions, the Company acquired the assets of Rsignia, Inc. ("Rsignia") and Dilijent Solutions, LLC ("Dilijent") in two separate asset transactions. The total consideration paid for these two purchases was $7.0 million and equity, valued at $4.8 million, consisting of 316,231 shares of KEYW common stock and warrants to purchase another 158,116 shares at $12.65. Neither of these acquisitions are considered material to the financial results of KEYW and are not included in the pro forma tables below for that reason.

IDEAL Technology Corporation

On January 31, 2013 the Company acquired IDEAL Technology Corporation ("IDEAL") for $7.0 million in cash and 157,655 shares of KEYW stock valued at $12.69 for a total purchase price of $9.1 million. IDEAL is not considered material to the financial results of KEYW and is not included in the pro forma tables below for that reason.

All acquisitions were accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. Results of operations for each acquired entity are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date of each acquisition. Each of the acquisitions outlined above complements the Company's strategic plan to expand its classified intelligence offerings into the national security marketplace. These acquisitions provide the Company with access to key customers, security clearances and technical expertise. The Sensage, Rsignia, and Dilijent acquisitions also provided expertise and product offerings in the commercial software market. As a result of these factors, the Company was willing to pay a purchase price that resulted in recording goodwill as part of the purchase price allocation.

THE KEYW HOLDING CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

The tables below summarize the unaudited pro forma statement of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, assuming the Poole and Sensage acquisitions had been completed on the first day of the year. Pro forma income statements are not presented for 2013 as there have been no material acquisitions during the six months ended June 30, 2013. These pro forma statements do not include any adjustments that may have resulted from synergies between the acquisitions, eliminations of intercompany transactions or from amortization of intangibles other than during the period the acquired entities were part of the Company. The 2012 activity for Poole and Sensage represents the financial activity in 2012 prior to acquisition. Activity for the Rsignia, Dilijent and IDEAL acquisitions are not included for any period presented due to their immateriality individually and in aggregate.

3. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

We group financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value in three levels, based on the markets in which the assets and liabilities are traded and the reliability of the assumptions used to determine fair value. These levels are:



Level 1	Valuations for assets and liabilities traded in active exchange markets. Valuations are obtained from available pricing sources for market transactions involving identical assets or liabilities.



Level 2	Valuations for assets and liabilities traded in less active dealer or broker markets. Valuations are obtained from third party pricing services for identical or comparable assets or liabilities which use observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in active markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.



Level 3	Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

At June 30, 2013, the Company did not have any financial assets or liabilities that were carried at fair value.

4. ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE

Accounts receivable consist of the following:



	June 30, 2013		December 31, 2012
	(In thousands)
Accounts Receivable
Billed AR	$	44,760	$	40,689
Unbilled AR	15,031		17,793
Total AR	$	59,791	$	58,482

Unbilled amounts represent revenue recognized which could not be billed by the period end based on contract terms. The majority of the unbilled amounts were billed subsequent to period end. Retainages typically exist at the end of a project and/or if there is a disputed item on an invoice received by a customer. At June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, retained amounts are insignificant and are expected to be collected subsequent to the balance sheet date.

As part of the acquisitions in 2012, an allowance for doubtful accounts was acquired in the amount of $351,000. The accounts receivable recorded in the acquisition accounting were net of this reserve. This reserve comprises both a specific and generic accounts receivable reserve which are evaluated at each quarter end.

Most of the Company's revenues are derived from contracts with the U.S. Government, in which we are either the prime contractor or a subcontractor, depending on the award.

5. INVENTORIES

Inventories at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 consisted of work in process at various stages of production and finished goods. This inventory, which consists primarily of mobile communications devices, is valued at the lower of cost (as calculated using the weighted average method) or market. The cost of the work in process consists of materials put into production, the cost of labor and an allocation of overhead costs. At June 30, 2013, and December 31, 2012, we have reserved $1,313,000 and $963,000 respectively, for certain inventory items where the market has not developed as expected.

6. PREPAID EXPENSES

Prepaid expenses at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 primarily consist of prepaid insurance, bonuses, interest, rent, prepaid taxes and professional fees.

7. PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

During the first quarter of 2013, the Company determined that the earn-out relating to the acquisition of certain government

contracting assets from National Semiconductor Corporation (“TI”) would not be achieved. As such, the remaining intangible asset and accrued earn-out relating to the TI acquisition were written-down resulting in a net non-operating gain of $146,000.

9. DEBT

On October 1, 2012, the Company entered into a senior credit agreement, (the “Credit Agreement”), by and among itself, the KEYW Corporation, as the borrower (the “Borrower”), the domestic direct and indirect subsidiary guarantors of KEYW (the “Subsidiary Guarantors”), the lenders and Royal Bank of Canada, as administrative agent. Under the Credit Agreement, the Company provided a guaranty of all of the obligations of the Borrower. The Credit Agreement provides the Borrower a $60 million term loan and a $40 million revolving credit facility, (the “Revolver”). The Revolver includes a $10 million swing line and a $15 million letter of credit sub-facility. The Credit Agreement includes an uncommitted accordion facility, permitting the Borrower to obtain up to an additional $35 million, subject to certain conditions. The five year Credit Agreement bears cash interest at either

THE KEYW HOLDING CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

selected LIBOR plus a specified margin based on the Company's then existing Senior Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) or an alternative base rate plus a specified margin. The Term Loan and the Revolver are secured by a security interest and lien on substantially all of KEYW's, the Borrower's and the Subsidiary Guarantors' assets including a pledge of one hundred percent of the equity securities of the Borrower and the Subsidiary Guarantors.

On November 20, 2012, the Company amended the Credit Agreement to increase both the term loan and the amount available under the Revolver by $10 million each as well as adding additional lenders to the Credit Agreement. This brings the term loan to $70 million and the Revolver to $50 million. The Company is required to comply with certain financial covenants contained in the Credit Agreement. As of June 30, 2013, the Company was in compliance with all covenants as under the Credit agreement.

In connection with the issuance of the term loan and revolving credit facility in 2012 the Company incurred $3,199,000 in financing costs. These financing costs are being amortized using the effective interest rate method over a five year period, the life of the related debt. The Company recognized $320,000 in amortization expense for the six months ended June 30, 2013. The Company recognized $160,000 in amortization expense for the three months ended June 30, 2013. The Company is estimated to incur future amortization expense of $320,000 for the remainder of 2013 and $640,000, $640,000, $640,000 and $480,000 for the years ended December 31, 2014 - 2017 respectively. The agreement also has a $37,500 quarterly agency fee payable as incurred. This amount is not included in the deferred financing costs as it only applies until the loans are repaid.

At June 30, 2013, the Company had fully drawn the available funds under the term loan and had $24.0 million outstanding under the revolver. The Company has recorded the revolver as a current debt due to the unstructured repayment terms and the Company's practice of using free cash flow to pay down debt. The term loan requires certain quarterly payments and the first three of those payments have been made as of June 30, 2013 in the amount of $1.3 million each, bringing the term loan balance to $66.1 million. The payment schedule for the term loan by year is as follows:



Required Future Loan Payments (In thousands) :
2013	2014	2015	2016	2017
$3,063	$7,000	$7,000	$7,000	$42,000

Interest expense recorded under the new facilities was $1,817,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2013. Interest expense recorded under the new facilities was $909,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2013.

In February 2011, the Company entered into a $50 million credit facility that includes an accordion feature allowing for an additional $25 million in borrowing. The credit facility was a 3 year agreement and was a multi-bank facility with Bank of America as lead bank. On September 28, 2012 the Company terminated, satisfied, and discharged all of its obligations under the Bank of America credit facility. Interest expense recognized related to this agreement was approximately $868,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2012. Interest expense recognized related to this agreement was approximately $456,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2012.

10. STOCK - BASED COMPENSATION

On August 15, 2012, the shareholders approved the 2013 KEYW Holding Corporation Stock Incentive Plan. The 2013 plan, which took effect on January 1, 2013, replaced the 2009 plan and provides for the issuance of restricted stock, stock options, and restricted stock units with a maximum of 2,000,000 shares available for issuance.

Stock Options

The Company generally issues stock option awards that vest over varying periods, ranging from three to five years, and have a ten-year life. We estimate the fair value of stock options using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. Estimates of fair value are not intended to predict actual future events or the value ultimately realized by persons who receive equity awards. All option awards terminate within ninety days or sooner after termination of service with the Company, except as provided in certain circumstances under our senior executive employment agreements.

The option grants during the first half of 2013 consist of options issued to new hires or discretionary awards. All equity issuances have an exercise price at market value or higher based upon our publicly-traded share price on the date of grant.

The Black-Scholes model requires certain inputs related to dividend yield, risk-free interest rate, expected volatility and forfeitures in order to price the option values. During 2013, our assumptions related to these inputs were as follows:

-Dividend yield was zero as we have no current intentions to pay any dividends

THE KEYW HOLDING CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

-Risk-free interest rate ranging from 0.65% - 1.03%

-Expected volatility ranging from 37.08% - 51.37%

-Forfeitures ranging from 11% - 39%

A summary of stock option activity for the period ended June 30, 2013 is as follows:



	Number of Shares		Option Exercise Price	Weighted Average Exercise Price
Outstanding January 1, 2013	3,186,414
Granted	428,200		$11.27 - $16.08	$	12.07
Exercised	(160,963	)	$5.00 - $14.57	$	8.02
Cancelled	(190,057	)	$5.00 - $16.08	$	11.81
Options Outstanding June 30, 2013	3,263,594

All stock based compensation has been recorded as part of operating expenses. Accounting standards require forfeitures to be estimated at the time an award is granted and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. Forfeiture estimates are disclosed in the information regarding the option grants above. For the periods ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, share-based compensation expense is based on awards ultimately expected to vest and has been reduced for estimated forfeitures. The total unrecognized stock compensation expense at June 30, 2013 is approximately $9.2 million, which will be recognized over four years.

As of June 30, 2013, outstanding stock options were as follows:



Exercise Price	Options Outstanding	Intrinsic Value		Options Vested	Intrinsic Value		Weighted Average Remaining Life (Years)

DESCRIPTION OF THE COMPANY

We provide mission-critical cybersecurity, cyber superiority and geospatial intelligence solutions to defense, intelligence and national security agencies and commercial enterprises. Our core capabilities include solutions, services and products to support the collection, processing, analysis, and use of intelligence data and information in the domains of cyberspace and geospace. Our solutions are designed to respond to meet the critical needs for agile intelligence in the cyber age and to assist the U.S. government in national security priorities.

We provide a full range of engineering services as well as fully integrated platforms that support the entire intelligence process, including collection, processing, analysis and impact. Our platforms include a number of modified commercial turboprop aircraft for imagery and light detection and ranging, or LIDAR, collection, products that we manufacture, as well as hardware and software that we integrate using the engineering services of our highly skilled and security-cleared workforce.

KEYW solutions are focused on Intelligence Community customers including the National Security Agency (NSA), the National Reconnaissance Office (NRO), the National Geospatial Intelligence Agency (NGA), the Army Geospatial Center (AGC) and various other agencies within the Intelligence Community and Department of Defense (DoD). In addition, we provide our products and services to U.S. federal, state and local law enforcement agencies. Our innovative solutions, understanding of intelligence and national security missions, management's long-standing and successful customer relationships and operational capabilities, and best-in-class employee base position us to continue our growth. We are highly focused on assisting our customers in achieving their mission of cyber superiority both defensively and offensively, within the entire domain of cyberspace, and doing so in time to observe, respond to, and, where possible, prevent threat events, actions and agents from inflicting harm. Additionally, over the past two years, we have expanded our solutions to encompass a broad spectrum of geospatial intelligence, or GEOINT, capabilities. We believe today's complex, geographically distributed cyber threat environment is driving a convergence of cyber intelligence and geospatial intelligence.

KEYW’s primary areas of expertise include:

•providing sophisticated engineering services and solutions that help our customers solve discreet and complex cybersecurity, cyber superiority, and geospatial and other intelligence challenges;

•using multiple intelligence collection techniques to collect data and information in cyberspace, encompassing the entire electromagnetic spectrum;

•processing data and information from cyberspace to make it accessible to a wide range of analytical needs and resources;

THE KEYW HOLDING CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

•analyzing data and information that have been collected, processed, correlated, and made easily accessible to transform them into usable information for our customers;

•developing data warehousing and business intelligence solutions to address the most advanced use cases in Security Information and Event Management, log management, and Call Detail Record (CDR) retention and retrieval;

•providing specialized training, field support, and test and evaluation services;

•development, integration, rapid deployment and sustainment of agile airborne intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance collection platforms to austere environments; and

•responding quickly and decisively to demanding and emergent customer requirements, with agile processes and methods that enable us to satisfy requirements that are constantly changing to meet an agile, aggressive and ever-changing threat environment.

More recently, we have been developing and are testing a cybersecurity solution platform for use with government, commercial and critical infrastructure customers. In July 2012, we announced the installation of our new cyber awareness and response platform, code named “Project G,” in its first operational network to address the growing threat to governmental agencies and commercial enterprises. We have begun a commercial testing program for Project G with a select group of early adopter customers. Project G is being developed to find, fix and finish malicious cyber threats within customers' networks through the use of automated tools and continuous updates to cyber threat profiles and alert levels. Project G was derived from our work protecting Intelligence Community networks, and is intended to address new markets beyond the Intelligence Community, including government agencies, commercial and critical infrastructure customers. General release of the Project G platform is expected in 2013.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements that have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and determine whether contingent assets and liabilities, if any, are disclosed in the financial statements. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and assumptions, including those related to long-term contracts, product returns, bad debts, inventories, fixed asset lives, income taxes, environmental matters, litigation, and other contingencies. These estimates and assumptions are described in more detail in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012. We base our estimates and assumptions on historical experience and on various factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, including current and expected economic conditions, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ materially from our estimates under different assumptions or conditions. There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies, estimates and assumptions or the judgments affecting the application of those estimates and assumptions since the filing of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for year ended December 31, 2012.

COMPARISON OF THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2013 AND JUNE 30, 2012

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the unaudited financial statements (and notes thereto) and other financial information of the Company appearing elsewhere in this report. In addition, see Note 2 – Acquisitions to our unaudited financial statements included in this Quarterly Report for specific information with respect to the assumptions and adjustments made in calculating the pro forma financial information for the three month period ended June 30, 2012 set forth below.



CONSOLIDATED OVERVIEW (In thousands)	Three Months Ended June 30, 2013		% of Revenue		Three Months Ended June 30, 2012		% of Revenue
Revenue	$	78,258	100.0	%	$	56,155	100.0	%
Gross Margin	25,600		32.7	%	18,933		33.7	%
Cost of Operations	22,501		28.8	%	13,089		23.3	%
Intangible Amortization	6,091		7.8	%	4,869		8.7	%
Non-operating Expense, net	868		1.1	%	450		0.8	%

Revenue increased by $22.1 million or 39% for the three months ended June 30, 2013 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2012. The main drivers for the revenue increase were the acquisitions of Poole and Sensage in the fourth quarter of 2012 and organic growth within both operating segments. On a pro forma basis, revenue increased by approximately $7.5 million or

THE KEYW HOLDING CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

11% between the periods with the majority of that growth in the Services segment and driven largely by growth in a new contract awarded to Poole in 2012. Due to the uncertainty resulting from sequestration, we are unable to project revenue for the remainder of 2013. Revenue may stay flat, decrease or increase in a range of several percentage points from the second quarter of 2013 and pro forma third and fourth quarters of 2012.

Gross margin decreased as a percentage of revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2013 as compared to the same period from 2012, as a result of the acquisition of Poole. A significant portion of the revenue from the Poole acquisition is generated by subcontract labor that is at a much lower gross margin than our self-performed work. Accordingly, a significant part of the revenue growth in our Services segment was generated from subcontract labor at a lower gross margin than we have historically seen in that segment and outpaced our higher margin revenue growth in the Integrated Solutions segment, resulting in a decrease in overall gross margin as a percentage of revenue.

Our cost of operations increased by $9.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2012. The main drivers for this increase are facility costs as a result of our new office space and training facilities, the acquisitions in late 2012, infrastructure spending for the introduction of our commercial software product and stock option expense. Our facility costs increased by $1.3 million between the two periods mainly due to lease costs and depreciation associated with the build-out of the new facilities. In preparation for the general release of our commercial software product we have increased our staffing in both sales and operations within our commercial software group. On a pro forma basis, operating expenses increased by $5.0 million including $1.2 million of increased costs resulting from the move to our new office space, infrastructure spending on our commercial software product of $1.9 million and increased stock option expense of $0.8 million. The majority of the increased stock option expense is due to the acquisitions in the fourth quarter of 2012, as we grant all employees an equity stake in the company.

Intangible amortization expense has increased as a result of the new acquisitions, partially offset by the expiration of certain intangibles from prior acquisitions. We expect intangible amortization expense to decline during 2013 as older intangibles become fully amortized. Comparison to prior year will continue to show a higher level of amortization in 2013 for all period comparisons to prior year due to the 2012 acquisitions.

Non-operating expense primarily consists of interest expense of $912,000. The increase from 2012 is due to additional interest expense of $456,000 due to increased borrowing levels.



SERVICES SEGMENT RESULTS (In thousands)	Three Months Ended June 30, 2013		% of Revenue		Three Months Ended June 30, 2012		% of Revenue
Revenue	$	55,499	100.0	%	$	39,076	100.0	%
Gross Margin	14,538		26.2	%	10,963		28.1	%
Intangible Amortization	3,001		5.4	%	2,572		6.6	%

Revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2013 increased on a year over year basis by $16.4 million, or 42% as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2012. The majority of this increase is the acquisition of Poole. Poole's revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2012 was $12.3 million. On a pro forma basis, revenue grew $4.1 million, or 8%, with the expansion of several programs predominantly from the Poole acquisition. Due to the uncertainty resulting from sequestration, we are unable to project Services revenue for the remainder of 2013.

Gross margin decreased as a percentage of revenue for the quarter ended June 30, 2013 as compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2012 as a result of the inclusion of the Poole contracts and related reliance on subcontractor revenue. A significant portion of Poole's revenue has been generated through subcontractors which have a lower gross profit margin than our self-performed work. There was no significant change in the gross margins in our services business outside of the Poole contracts during the second quarter of 2013 as compared to the second quarter of 2012. We expect gross margins to be slightly better in the third quarter of 2013 as we will have a lower contractor ratio than we had in the second quarter of 2013.

Amortization expense increased in 2013 primarily as a result of the Poole acquisition in the fourth quarter of 2012 that contributed $1.2 million of expense in the second quarter of 2013, which was partially offset by the expiring of certain intangibles from prior acquisitions.

INTEGRATED SOLUTIONS SEGMENT RESULTS (In thousands)	Three Months Ended June 30, 2013		% of Revenue		Three Months Ended June 30, 2012		% of Revenue

Gross Margin	11,062		48.6	%	7,970		46.7	%
Intangible Amortization	3,090		13.6	%	2,297		13.4	%

Revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2013 increased on a year-over-year basis by $5.7 million, or 33%, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2012. The main driver for this was the acquisitions in 2012 and 2013 that contributed approximately $3.1 million of revenue during the second quarter of 2013, most notably Sensage. The remaining growth is due to additional product sales in 2013. We expect revenue to increase in the third quarter of 2013, from the second quarter of 2013, due to increased software and product sales. As we are introducing a new software platform for general availability during the third quarter of 2013, we are unable to provide specific growth numbers although we anticipate the revenue impact of those software sales to be minimal during the third quarter.

Gross margin as a percentage of revenue increased in the second quarter of 2013 as compared to the same quarter in the prior year due to the revenue mix. We anticipate that gross margins will increase as a percentage of revenue from the second to third quarter of 2013 as our software sales increase.

Intangible amortization has increased primarily from the acquisition of Sensage in October 2012 and IDEAL in January 2013. We expect to have a similar amount of intangible expense for the remainder of 2013 when the expense associated with the FLD acquisition is complete.

COMPARISON OF SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2013 AND JUNE 30, 2012

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the unaudited financial statements (and notes thereto) and other financial information of the Company appearing elsewhere in this report. In addition, see Note 2 – Acquisitions to our unaudited financial statements included in this Quarterly Report for specific information with respect to the assumptions and adjustments made in calculating the pro forma financial information for the six month periods ended June 30, 2012 set forth below.

Revenue increased by $44.2 million or 39% for the six months ended June 30, 2013 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2012. The main drivers for the revenue increase were the acquisitions of Poole and Sensage in the fourth quarter of 2012 and organic growth within both operating segments. On a pro forma basis, revenue increased by approximately $15.6 million or 11% between the periods with the majority of that growth in the Services segment and driven largely by growth in a new contract awarded to Poole in 2012.

Gross margin decreased as a percentage of revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2013 as compared to the same period from 2012 as a result of the acquisition of Poole. A significant portion of the revenue from the Poole acquisition is generated by subcontract labor that is at a much lower gross margin than our self-performed work.

Our cost of operations increased by $16.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2012. The main drivers for this increase are facility costs as a result of our new office space and training facilities, the acquisitions in late 2012, infrastructure spending for the introduction of our commercial software product and stock option expense. Our facility costs increased by $2.6 million between the two periods mainly due to lease costs and depreciation associated with the build-out of the new facilities and the increased number of facilities as a result of acquisitions. In preparation for the general

THE KEYW HOLDING CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

release of our commercial software product we have increased our staffing in both sales and operations within our commercial software group. On a pro forma basis, operating expenses increased by $6.4 million, including increased costs of $2.4 million resulting from the move to our new office space, increased infrastructure spending in our commercial software group of $2.6 million and increased stock option expense of $1.5 million. The majority of the increased stock option expense is due to the acquisitions in the fourth quarter of 2012 as we grant all employees an equity stake in the company.

Intangible amortization expense has increased as a result of the new acquisitions, partially offset by the expiring of certain intangibles from prior acquisitions. We expect intangible amortization expense to decline during 2013 as older intangibles become fully amortized. Comparison to prior year will continue to show a higher level of amortization in 2013 for all period comparisons to prior year due to the 2012 acquisitions.

Non-operating expense primarily consists of interest expense of $1,828,000 less the non-cash gain of $146,000 associated with the write-down of the TI earn-out and related intangible assets. The increase from 2012 is due to an increase in interest expense of $954,000.

Intangible Amortization	6,760		5.9	%	5,144		6.5	%

Revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2013 increased on a year over year basis by $35.4 million, or 45% as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2012. The majority of this increase is the acquisition of Poole. On a pro forma basis, revenue grew $11.1 million, or 11%, with the expansion of several programs predominantly from the Poole acquisition.

Amortization expense increased in 2013 primarily as a result of the Poole acquisition in the fourth quarter of 2012 that contributed $2.4 million of expense in the first quarter of 2013, which was partially offset by the expiring of certain intangibles from prior acquisitions.



INTEGRATED SOLUTIONS SEGMENT RESULTS (In thousands)	Six Months Ended June 30, 2013		% of Revenue		Six Months Ended June 30, 2012		% of Revenue

Revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2013 increased on a year-over-year basis by $8.8 million, or 26%, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2012. The main driver for this was the acquisitions in 2012 and 2013 that contributed approximately $6.2 million of revenue during the six months ended June 30, 2013, primarily from Sensage. The remaining growth is due to additional product sales.

Gross margin as a percentage of revenue increased slightly in the first six months of 2013 as compared to the same period in the prior year due to the revenue mix.

THE KEYW HOLDING CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash and cash equivalents totaled approximately $2.8 million at June 30, 2013. Our working capital, defined as current assets minus current liabilities, was $12.1 million. This represents a decrease of approximately $4 million from December 31, 2012, primarily due to increased borrowings on our revolver under our credit facility to fund the acquisition of IDEAL, offset by a reduction in the accrued earn-out payable related to the TI acquisition. During the first six months of 2013 we have used $8 million of cash to fund the IDEAL acquisition and to pay down the term note. We anticipate that we will be in a net repayment position for the third quarter and for the rest of 2013 excluding any acquisitions. At June 30, 2013, we are in compliance with all of our debt covenants.

We believe that cash from operations will be sufficient to fund our operations as we continue to grow, in addition to allowing us to continue to pay down our outstanding debt. Given the timing of payrolls and bonus payments in the first quarter of 2013, we utilized our cash flow to satisfy employee obligations. This timing is isolated to the first quarter. We may use our line of credit to fund acquisitions and to provide liquidity in the event of federal government budgetary issues, including the failure or delay by Congress and the President in approving federal budgets in the future. We may also use the line of credit as we continue to invest in our emerging commercial software product and to expand our flight capabilities.

We will continue to acquire companies when there is a strategic fit. At June 30, 2013, we had approximately $51 million of available cash, including our credit facility accordion feature, with which to complete additional acquisitions under our existing credit facilities. We may need to increase our credit facilities to complete large acquisitions that require a significant cash component. It is management's intention to not expand our credit facilities such that our leverage ratio would exceed 3.5 times trailing earnings of ourselves and any material acquisitions.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

In addition to the risks inherent in our operations, we are exposed to financial, market, political and economic risks. The following discussion provides additional detail regarding our exposure to interest rates and foreign exchange rate risks.

Interest Rate Risk

At June 30, 2013, we had $90 million outstanding balance under credit facilities. Historically, we have not mitigated our exposure to fluctuations in interest rates by entering into interest rate hedge agreements, nor do we have any plans to do so in the immediate future. We believe that a 10 percent change in interest rates would be immaterial to the Company over the next six months.

Foreign Exchange Risk

We currently do not have any material foreign currency risk, and accordingly estimate that an immediate 10 percent change in foreign exchange rates would have no impact on our reported net income. We do not currently utilize any derivative financial instruments to hedge foreign currency risks.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Based on management’s evaluation (with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chief Financial Officer (CFO)), as of the end of the period covered by this report, our CEO and CFO have concluded that 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”)) are effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and is accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There have not been any changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2013 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

On June 14, 2013, Exelis Inc. and its subsidiary EVI Technology, LLC filed a complaint in the Circuit Court of Fairfax County, Virginia against The KEYW Corporation, the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, and certain of its employees. On July 10, 2013 the case was removed to the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, and the original complaint was subsequently amended. The amended complaint alleges counts of conspiracy and willful and malicious acts in concert under Virginia law against all of the alleged defendants, and other counts, including breaches of fiduciary duty and contract, violation of state trade secret laws, tortuous interference with contractual relations and conversion against the employee defendants, who were formerly employees of the plaintiff Exelis. The complaint seeks damages not to exceed $45.0 million, including compensatory, unjust enrichment, accounting of gain and related treble, exemplary and punitive damages, and attorneys' fees and costs. The KEYW Corporation intends to file an answer denying liability for the counts against it and will vigorously defend against this lawsuit.
