NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

JUNE 30, 2013 (UNAUDITED)

(1) ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS :

For more than 25 years, DLH Holdings Corp. (together with its subsidiaries, “DLH” or the “Company” and also referred to as “we,” “us” and “our”) has provided professional services through its subsidiaries to the U.S. Government. DLH’s corporate headquarters and its principal executive offices are located in Atlanta, Georgia. DLH employs approximately 1,100 skilled health care and support personnel, technicians, logisticians, and engineers, at more than 25 locations around the United States. DLH’s operating subsidiary, DLH Solutions, Inc., is organized into three broad integrated business areas: Healthcare Delivery Solutions, Logistics and Technical Services, and Contingency / Staff Augmentation Services. Our government customers, a majority of whom are within the Departments of Defense (“DoD”) and Veterans Affairs (“DVA”), which represent approximately 97% of the Company’s revenue, benefit from our proven leadership processes, technical excellence, industry-leading productivity and affordability enhancement tools, and Lean Six Sigma-based quality improvement processes. The remaining portion of DLH’s business is comprised of customers within other federal agencies, including the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, the Departments of Justice, Agriculture, Interior and the Federal Emergency Management Agency, at locations throughout the United States. For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2012 and the nine months ended June 30, 2013 approximately 54% of our revenue was derived from the Healthcare Delivery Solutions business unit, approximately 45% of our revenue was derived from the Logistics & Technical Services business unit, and less than 1% of revenue was derived from the Contingency/Staff Augmentation line of service.

Corporate History

DLH Holdings Corp. was originally incorporated in New Jersey in 1969 as a payroll staffing company. Through several strategic transactions over recent decades, the Company has evolved considerably and in early 2010, made the strategic decision to build the Company around its government services entity, DLH Solutions, Inc. This transformation began with the divestiture of its commercial business and replacement of the CEO and CFO of the Company with executives with skills and experience more closely aligned with the Company’s new direction. The Company is now completely focused on government services both as a prime contractor as well as a partner with other government contractors. The Company’s other wholly-owned subsidiaries are not actively operating. In June 2012, the Company amended its certificate of incorporation to change its corporate name to DLH Holdings Corp.

(2) LIQUIDITY AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES :

Liquidity

In recent years, the Company has sought to finance its operations and capital expenditures through the sale of equity securities, convertible notes and more recently, through the proceeds from a rights offering. The Company’s immediate sources of liquidity include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, unbilled receivables and access to its asset-based credit facility with Presidential Financial Corporation. The Company’s operating liabilities are largely predictable and consist of vendor and payroll related obligations. The Company is generating operating cash flow, but it will require incremental working capital to fund the future growth of its business model with expanded business development efforts, and planned capital expenditures to support a larger customer base.

At June 30, 2013 , the Company had a net working capital deficit of approximately $2.1 million and an accumulated deficit of approximately $67.6 million . For the nine months ended June 30, 2013 , the Company realized operating income of approximately $0.1 million and net loss of approximately $0.2 million .

In May 2012, the Company entered into an amendment to its Loan and Security Agreement (“the Loan Agreement”) with Presidential Financial Corporation (“the Lender”) pursuant to which the Lender agreed to increase the available line of credit from $3,000,000 to a maximum amount of $6,000,000 and to increase the maximum amount available under the unbilled accounts facility of the Loan Agreement from $500,000 to $1,000,000 . However, as described in greater detail in Note 6 below, the Company’s ability to borrow against the increased available credit is subject to the satisfaction of a number of conditions, and presently, the maximum availability under this loan facility is $3,000,000 , subject to eligible accounts receivable. At June 30, 2013 , the amount of unused availability was $35,000 . The amount outstanding on the loan facility as of June 30, 2013 was $2,313,000 . The base term of the Loan Agreement ended on July 29, 2013, after which the Agreement will automatically renew annually, unless terminated by either party.

Management believes, at present, that: (a) cash and cash equivalents of approximately $3.3 million as of June 30, 2013 ; (b) the amounts available under its line of credit of $35,000 (which will vary depending upon the amount of eligible assets); (c) forecasted operating cash flow; and (d) prospective effects of cost reduction programs and initiatives should be sufficient to support the Company’s operations for twelve months from the date of these financial statements. However, should any of the above-referenced factors not occur substantially as currently expected, there could be a material adverse effect on the Company’s ability to access the level of liquidity necessary for it to sustain operations at current levels for the next twelve months. In such an event, management may be forced to make further reductions in spending or seek additional sources of capital to support our operations. If the Company raises additional funds by selling shares of common stock or convertible securities, the ownership of its existing shareholders would be diluted.

Presently, the Company derives all of its revenue from agencies of the Federal government. For both the three and nine months ended June 30, 2013 , the Company derived approximately 96% of its revenue from various contracts awarded by the DVA, including under a single source Blanket Purchase Agreement awarded in fiscal 2011. The Blanket Purchase Agreement had an original estimated total contract value of approximately $145,000,000 , which is attributable to our provision of services over a five year period of performance that is scheduled to expire on October 31, 2016. The five year term of the agreement includes a base year and four option years. The agreement is subject to the Federal Acquisition Regulations, and there can be no assurance as to the actual amount of services that the Company will ultimately provide under the agreement. This agreement represented approximately 53% of the Company’s revenues for both the three and nine months ended June 30, 2013 . The remainder of the services that the Company provides to the DVA is pursuant to contractual work orders that run through September 30, 2013. The Company is presently awaiting a response from DVA on proposals it timely submitted in July 2013 for renewal of these contracts. Although the Company believes that its extensive experience in this field allows it to be competitively well-positioned to retain this work, no assurances can be given that the Company will be successful in its bid for any one or all of these new contracts. The Company’s results of operations, cash flows and financial condition would be materially adversely affected in the event that we are unable to continue our relationships with the DVA or suffer a significant diminution in the quantity of services that they procure from the Company.

Basis of Presentation

The consolidated interim financial statements included herein have been prepared by DLH, without audit, pursuant to the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with United States of America generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. DLH believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in DLH’s fiscal 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K, which was filed on December 14, 2012. This interim financial information reflects, in the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments and changes in estimates, where appropriate) to present fairly the results for the interim periods. The results of operations and cash flows for such interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of DLH and its subsidiaries, all of which are wholly owned. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior period financial statements to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on previously reported results of operations or retained earnings.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates include valuation of goodwill, expected settlement amounts of accounts receivable, measurement of prepaid workers’ compensation, valuation allowances established against accounts receivable and deferred tax assets, measurement of payroll tax contingencies, accounts payable, workers’ compensation claims and accrued expenses and the valuation of financial instruments associated with debt agreements. In addition, the Company estimates overhead charges and allocates such charges throughout the year. Actual results could differ from those estimates. In particular, a material reduction in the fair value of goodwill would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position and results of operations.

Revenue Recognition

DLH’s revenue is derived from professional and other specialized service offerings to US Government agencies through a variety of contracts, some of which are fixed-price in nature and/or sourced through Federal Supply Schedules administered by the General Services Administration (“GSA”) at fixed unit rates or hourly arrangements. We generally operate as a prime contractor, but have also entered into contracts as a subcontractor. The recognition of revenue from fixed rates is based upon objective criteria that generally do not require significant estimates that may change over time. DLH recognizes and records revenue on government contracts when it is realized, or realizable, and earned. DLH considers these requirements met when: (a) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (b) the services have been delivered to the customer; (c) the sales price is fixed or determinable and free of contingencies or significant uncertainties; and (d) collectability is reasonably assured.

Revenues related to retroactive billings in 2008 from an agency of the Federal government were recognized when: (1) the Company developed and calculated an amount for such prior period services and had a contractual right to bill for such amounts under its arrangements, (2) there were no remaining unfulfilled conditions for approval of such billings and (3) collectability was reasonably assured based on historical practices with the DVA. The related direct costs, principally comprised of salaries and benefits, were accrued to match the recognized reimbursements from the Federal agency; upon approval, wages will be processed for payment to the employees.

During the year ended September 30, 2008, DLH recognized revenues of $10.8 million and direct costs of $10.1 million related to these non-recurring arrangements. At June 30, 2013 and September 30, 2012 , the amount of the remaining accounts receivable with the DVA approximated $9.3 million and accrued liabilities for salaries to employees and related benefits totaled $8.7 million . The $9.3 million in accounts receivable was unbilled to the DVA at June 30, 2013 and September 30, 2012 .

In April 2012, the Company received formal contract modifications from the DVA concerning the retroactive billing matter for which revenue was accrued in 2008. The contract modifications from the DVA incorporate relevant wage determinations covering largely 2006 and 2007 applying to the Company’s historical contracts with DVA during those periods. These government modifications initiate the procedures whereby the Company may invoice the DVA in accordance with the modified wage determinations and subsequently make timely retroactive payments to employees (active and inactive) covering work performed at the certain locations. The Company expects to follow the process directed by and in conjunction with the Department of Labor and the DVA in generating these invoices. Although the timing cannot be guaranteed, at present, the Company expects to bill and collect such amounts within the next twelve months.

The Company continues to support the Government’s review of the detailed supporting calculations for the retroactive billings and to negotiate an incremental final amount related to indirect costs and fees applied to these retroactive billings. The additional indirect costs and fees are estimated to be between $0.4 million and $0.6 million . The Company has developed these estimates under the same contractual provisions applied to the sites that were settled in 2008. However, because these amounts remain subject to government review, no assurances can be given that any amounts the Company may receive will be within the range specified above.

Goodwill

In accordance with applicable accounting standards, DLH does not amortize goodwill. DLH continues to review its goodwill for possible impairment or loss of value at least annually or more frequently upon the occurrence of an event or when circumstances indicate that a reporting unit’s carrying amount is greater than its fair value. At September 30, 2012, we performed a goodwill impairment evaluation. We performed both a qualitative and quantitative assessment of factors to determine whether it was necessary to perform the goodwill impairment test. Based on the results of the work performed, the Company has concluded that no impairment loss was warranted at September 30, 2012 . Factors including non-renewal of a major contract (see Note 2—Liquidity) or other substantial changes in business conditions could have a material adverse effect on the valuation of goodwill in future periods and the resulting charge could be material to future periods’ results of operations. If an impairment write off of all the goodwill became necessary in future periods, a charge of up to $8.6 million would be expensed in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. All remaining goodwill is attributable to the DLH Solutions operating subsidiary.

Income Taxes

balance sheet when it is determined that it is more likely than not that the asset will be realized. This guidance also requires that deferred tax assets be reduced by a valuation allowance if it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. At June 30, 2013 and 2012 , the Company recorded a 100% valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets.

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) has issued authoritative guidance that clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an entity’s financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold of more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination. Measurement of the tax uncertainty occurs if the recognition threshold has been met. This interpretation also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods and disclosures. The Company conducts business solely in the U.S. and, as a result, also files income taxes in various states and other jurisdictions. Given the substantial net operating losses and the related valuation allowance established against such amounts, the Company has concluded that it does not have any uncertain tax positions. There have been no income tax related interest or penalties for the periods presented in these consolidated financial statements. In the normal course of business, the Company and its subsidiaries are subject to examination by Federal and state taxing authorities. The Company’s income tax returns for years subsequent to fiscal 2009 are currently open, by statute, for review by authorities. However, there are no examinations currently in progress and the Company is not aware of any pending audits.

Stock-Based Compensation

Compensation costs for service based equity awards are recognized as the requisite service is rendered. The compensation cost for that portion of awards shall be based on the grant-date fair value of those awards as calculated for recognition purposes under applicable guidance. As of June 30, 2013 , there is approximately $131,000 of unrecognized compensation expense remaining that is related to non-vested stock based awards to be recognized in future periods.

Certain awards vest upon satisfaction of certain performance criteria. As permitted, the Company will not recognize expense on the performance based shares until it is probable that these conditions will be achieved. Such charges could be material in future periods.

Stock Options, Warrants and Restricted Stock

For options that vest based on the Company’s common stock achieving and maintaining defined market prices, the Company values these awards with a binomial model that utilizes various probability factors and other criterion in establishing fair value of the grant. The related compensation cost is recognized over the derived service period determined in the valuation.

From time to time, the Company grants restricted stock awards to non-employee directors and employees under existing plans. The Company recognizes non-cash compensation expense over the various vesting periods.

Stock compensation expense totaled $40,000 for all awards for the three month period ended June 30, 2013 and totaled $88,000 for all awards for the three months ended June 30, 2012 .

Stock compensation expense totaled $168,000 for all awards for the nine month period ended June 30, 2013 , and totaled $297,000 for all awards for the nine months ended June 30, 2012 .

On November 21, 2012, the Company granted its chief executive officer options to purchase 250,000 shares of common stock under the Company’s 2006 Long Term Incentive Plan, as amended. The options, to the extent vested, shall be exercisable for a period of ten years at the per share exercise price equal to the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the effective date of the amendment. The options will vest in full if the closing price of the Company’s Common Stock equals or exceeds the lesser of (i) $4.00 per share or (ii) a per share price equal to 200% of the exercise price, in each case for ten consecutive trading days. Stock expense recognized for the nine months ending June 30, 2013 totaled approximately $9,000 .

Warrants are issued from time-to-time to non-employee third parties in order to induce then to enter in certain transactions with the Company. The Company recognizes non-cash expense related to such activity over the estimated period of performance.

Effective as of November 15, 2012, the Company granted an aggregate of 52,500 shares of restricted stock to its non-executive directors, consistent with its compensation policy for non-executive directors. These shares were issued pursuant to the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The shares vested immediately and stock expense of $54,000 was recognized in November 2012. Additionally, at June 30, 2013 , there were

52,500 shares of unvested restricted stock outstanding from prior year grants to non-executive directors. There is $150,000 of unrecognized expense related to these unvested restricted stock awards.

The stock option activity for the nine months ended June 30, 2013 is as follows:



	Number of Shares	Weighted Average Exercise Price		Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Term	Aggregate Intrinsic Value
Options outstanding, September 30, 2012	1,362,500	$	1.19	8.6	$	140,000
Granted	250,000	$	0.95
Cancelled
Exercised	—	—
Options outstanding, June 30 , 2013	1,612,500	$	1.15	8.2	$	60,000

At June 30, 2013 , there were 412,500 options outstanding that were vested and exercisable and an additional 1,200,000 options outstanding that vest to the recipients when the market value of the Company’s stock achieves and maintains defined levels.

The aggregate intrinsic value in the table above represents the total pretax intrinsic value (i.e., the difference between the Company’s closing stock price on the last trading day of the period and the exercise price, times the number of shares) that would have been received by the option holders had all option holders exercised their in the money options on those dates. This amount will change based on the fair market value of the Company’s stock.

The Company recognized expense for warrants issued to consultants of $3,000 for both the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012

The Company recognized expense for warrants issued to consultants of $9,000 for both the nine months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 .

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company has financial instruments, principally accounts receivable, accounts payable, loan payable, notes payable, and accrued expense. Due to the short term nature of these instruments, DLH estimates that the fair value of all financial instruments at June 30, 2013 and September 30, 2012 does not differ materially from the aggregate carrying values of these financial instruments recorded in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. In addition, the Company presents certain common stock warrants and embedded conversion features associated with Convertible Debentures and accounts for such derivative financial instruments at fair value (See Note 7).

Earnings (Loss) Per Share

Basic earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and restricted stock grants that vested or are likely to vest during the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of basic common shares outstanding, adjusted to reflect potentially dilutive securities.

The effects of common stock equivalents of 1,636,346 and 1,686,346 are anti-dilutive for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2013 , respectively. The effects of common stock equivalents of approximately 1,536,346 are anti-dilutive for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2012 .

The following table sets forth the calculation of basic and diluted net income (loss) per share (in thousands, except per

(4) COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES :

Payroll Taxes

From 2006 through 2009, DLH received notices from the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) claiming taxes, interest and penalties due related to payroll taxes predominantly from its former PEO operations which were sold in fiscal 2003. DLH also received notices from the IRS reporting overpayments of taxes. Management believes that these notices are predominantly the result of misapplication of payroll tax payments between its legal entities. Until the sale of certain assets related to the former PEO operations, DLH operated through 17 subsidiaries, and management believes that the IRS has not correctly identified payments made through certain of the different entities, therefore leading to the notices. Through the fiscal year ended September 30, 2009, DLH worked with the IRS to resolve these discrepancies and had certain interest and penalty claims abated. DLH also received notices from the Social Security Administration claiming variances in wage reporting compared to

IRS transcripts. DLH believes the notices from the Social Security Administration are directly related to the IRS notices received. DLH believes it has fully responded to the notices issued. DLH believes that after the IRS applies all the funds correctly, any significant interest and penalties will be abated; however, there can be no assurance that each of these matters will be resolved favorably. In settling various years for specific subsidiaries with the IRS, the Company received refunds for those specific periods; however, as the process of settling and concluding on other periods and subsidiaries is not yet completed, the potential exists for related penalties and interest. The remaining liability ( $1.4 million at June 30, 2013 and $1.3 million at September 30, 2012 ) has been recorded in accrued expenses and other current liabilities and includes estimated accrued penalties and interest totaling approximately $600,000 .

The Company believes it has accrued for the entire estimated remaining liability, inclusive of interest and penalties through the date of the financial statements. The Company may incur additional interest and may incur possible additional penalties through the future date that this obligation is settled. However, it is not currently possible to estimate what, if any, additional amount(s) may be due in the future, given the uncertain timing and nature of any future settlement negotiations. No payments were made in fiscal 2012 or year to date in fiscal 2013. Management believes that the ultimate resolution of these remaining payroll tax matters will not have a significant adverse effect on its financial position or future results of operations. The Company’s intention is that it will in due course seek to negotiate a mutually satisfactory payment plan with the IRS, but there is no assurance that it would be successful in doing so and the Company’s future cash flows and liquidity could therefore be materially affected by this matter.

Legal Proceedings

As the Company has previously reported, it was advised of a claim by the U.S. Attorney based on an alleged failure to pay certain classes of employees the prevailing wages as required by the Service Contract Act during the years 2003-2010. The Company is continuing to review the data allegedly supporting the claims with the U.S. Department of Justice and has provided additional data as requested in an effort to determine whether any wage adjustment is required. These claims appear, in part, to be part of the claims previously disclosed by the Company and related to services provided to the Department of Veterans Affairs by DLH. Until the analysis of the data is complete, we cannot finally determine either the merits of the claim or the potential impact on the Company; however, the Company continues to believe it has acted in conformity with its contractual commitments and no wage adjustment is required. Additionally, the Company also believes it has fully responded to all requests related to these claims. Nevertheless, there can be no assurance that an adverse decision or settlement would not have a material adverse impact on the Company.

As a commercial enterprise and employer, the Company is subject to various claims and legal actions in the ordinary course of business. These matters can include professional liability, employment-relations issues, workers’ compensation, tax, payroll and employee-related matters, other commercial disputes arising in the course of its business, and inquiries and investigations by governmental agencies regarding our employment practices or other matters. Other than as reported elsewhere in this report, the Company is not aware of any pending or threatened litigation that it believes is reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on its results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

Employment Agreements

From time to time, we enter into employment agreements with certain key executives which provide for fixed compensation, criterion for earning bonuses and other incentives and, in certain instances, issuance of share based equity grants. These agreements generally continue until terminated by the employee or the Board of Directors or, upon the occurrence of defined certain events or circumstances (including a defined change in control), and provide for salary continuance for specified periods of generally no more than a year and or lump sum payments in the event of a change of control of up to 150% of annual salary.

(5) PREPAID WORKERS’ COMPENSATION :

As part of the Company’s discontinued PEO operations, DLH had a workers’ compensation program with Zurich American Insurance Company (“Zurich”) which covered the period from March 22, 2002 through November 16, 2003, inclusive. Payments for the policy were made to a trust monthly based on projected claims for the policy period. Interest on all assets held in the trust is credited to DLH. Payments for claims and claims expenses are made from the trust. From time-to-time, trust assets have been refunded to the Company based on Zurich’s overall assessment of claims experience and historical and projected settlements. The final amount of trust funds that could be refunded to the Company is subject to a number of uncertainties (e.g. claim settlements and experience, review by the insurer, health care costs, the extended statutory filing periods for such claims); however, based on a third party’s study of claims experience and after giving effect to agreed-upon

adjustments, DLH estimates that at June 30, 2013 , the remaining prepaid asset of approximately $0.3 million will be received within the next twelve months .

DEBT :

Loan Facility

On July 29, 2010, DLH Solutions entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with Presidential Financial Corporation (the “Lender”). Under the Loan Agreement, the Lender agreed to provide a two (2) year secured loan facility to DLH Solutions in an aggregate amount of up to $1.5 million , upon the further terms and subject to the conditions of the Loan Agreement. In November, 2010, the Lender agreed by means of an amendment to the Loan Agreement to increase the maximum amount available under the facility from $1.5 million to $2.5 million and on February 9, 2011, we entered into a further amendment to the Loan Agreement pursuant to which the Lender agreed to further increase our maximum availability under the Loan Agreement from $2.5 million to $3.0 million and to provide an unbilled receivable facility within the limits of the Loan Agreement. The February 2011 amendment also extended the term of the Loan Agreement by 12 months , to July 29, 2013, after which the Agreement will automatically renew annually, unless terminated by either party.

In May 2012, the Company entered into a further amendment to the Loan Agreement (the “Fifth Amendment”) pursuant to which the Lender agreed to increase the available line of credit from $3,000,000 to a maximum amount of $6,000,000 and to increase the maximum amount available under the unbilled accounts facility of the Loan Agreement from $500,000 to $1,000,000 . The Company’s ability to borrow against the increased available credit, however, is subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions. The Fifth Amendment provides for an initial sublimit under the maximum loan amount of $3,000,000 (the “Initial Sublimit”) and an adjusted sublimit of $4,000,000 (the “Adjusted Sublimit”). The Initial Sublimit of $3,000,000 will remain in effect until the satisfaction of the following conditions: (i) the repayment of the $500,000 over-advance accommodation agreed to by Lender as of May 9, 2012, (ii) the Company’s demonstration of the need for the increase, (iii) the Company’s continued compliance with the Loan Agreement, and (iv) Lender, in its sole discretion, agrees to increase the Initial Sublimit. In the event that the foregoing conditions are satisfied, the credit available under the Loan Agreement shall remain subject to the Adjusted Sublimit until the parties receive any required waivers or consents from the holders of the Company’s subordinated Convertible Debentures issued as of July 28, 2011 and Lender, in its sole discretion, agrees to such further increase. In addition, the increased availability under the unbilled accounts facility of the Loan Agreement is subject to the satisfaction of the same conditions that are applicable to Initial Sublimit. Accordingly, until these conditions are satisfied, the current borrowing limits remain in effect.

Pursuant to a letter agreement dated May 21, 2013, the sublimit for maximum amounts available on unbilled accounts was increased from $500,000 to $750,000 .

DLH Solutions’ ability to request loan advances under the Loan Agreement is subject to (i) computation of DLH Solutions’ advance availability limit based on “eligible accounts receivables” (as defined in the Loan Agreement) multiplied by the “Accounts Advance Rate” established by the Lender which initially shall be 85% and may be increased or decreased by the Lender in exercise of its discretion; and (ii) compliance with the covenants and conditions of the loan. An interest rate premium of 2% is payable in respect of any advances secured by unbilled accounts receivable, which are subject to a sub-facility limit of $750,000 and an advance rate of 75% . The loan is secured by a security interest and lien on all of DLH Solutions’ cash accounts, account deposits, letters of credit and investment property, chattel paper, furniture, fixtures and equipment, instruments, investment property, general intangibles, deposit accounts, inventory, other property, all proceeds and products of the foregoing (including proceeds of any insurance policies and claims against third parties for loss of any of the foregoing) and all books and records related thereto.

Under the Loan and Security Agreement, interest accrues at the greater of (a) 3.25% or (b) (i) 1.95% above the Wall Street Journal Prime rate on the accounts receivable portion of the credit line and (ii) 3.95% above the Wall Street Journal Prime rate on the unbilled accounts portion. In addition, DLH Solutions will pay certain other related fees and expense reimbursements including a monthly service charge of 0.65% based on the average daily loan balance which shall accrue daily and be due and payable on the last day of each month so long as the Loan Agreement is outstanding. The interest rate on the Accounts Receivable portion of the loan was 5.2% at both June 30, 2013 and 2012 . The interest rate on the Unbilled Accounts portion was 7.2% at both June 30, 2013 and 2012 . At June 30, 2013 , based on current eligible accounts receivable, the amount of the unused availability under the line was $35,000 . The amount outstanding as of June 30, 2013 was $2,313,000 .

The Loan Agreement requires compliance with customary covenants and contains restrictions on the Company’s ability to engage in certain transactions. Among other matters, under the loan agreement we may not, without consent of the Lender, (i) merge or consolidate with another entity, form any new subsidiary or acquire any interest in a third party; (ii) acquire any

assets except in the ordinary course of business; (iii) enter into any transaction outside the ordinary course of business; (iv) sell or transfer collateral; (v) make any loans to, or investments in, any affiliate or enter into any transaction with an affiliate other than on an arms-length basis; (vi) incur any debt outside the ordinary course of business; (vii) pay or declare any dividends or other distributions; or (viii) redeem, retire or purchase any of our equity interests exceeding $50,000 . Further, without the consent of the Lender, the Company is also restricted from making any payments in respect of other outstanding indebtedness. The Lender agreed to eliminate the tangible net worth covenant as part of the Fifth Amendment. The Lender may terminate the Loan Agreement at any time upon 60 days written notice after December 31, 2012 and the Loan Agreement provides for customary events of default following which the Lender may, at its option, terminate the loan agreement and accelerate the repayment of any amount outstanding. The defined events of default include, among other things, a material adverse change in the Company’s circumstances, or if the Lender deems itself insecure in the ability of the Company to repay its obligations, or as to the sufficiency of the collateral.

On May 9, 2012, Presidential Financial Corporation agreed to allow the Company to borrow up to $500,000 under its facility with the Company in excess of the eligible collateral, but subject to the maximum loan amount of $3,000,000 . This arrangement expired with the closing of the rights offering on June 15, 2012. There were no advances against this facility.

In consideration of the Lender entering into the Fifth Amendment, we agreed to pay a monthly collateral monitoring fee, a documentation fee and at the time that we may borrow amounts in excess of the Initial Sublimit, an origination fee of 1% of the increased availability.

The Company has concurrently executed a Corporate Guaranty Agreement with Lender pursuant to which it has guaranteed all of the obligations of DLH Solutions under the Loan Agreement.

(7) EQUITY AND CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES FINANCING :

On June 1, 2011, the Company entered into a debenture purchase agreement (the “Debenture Purchase Agreement”) with entities affiliated with Wynnefield Capital, Inc. (the “Debenture Purchasers”), providing for a standby commitment pursuant to which the Debenture Purchasers agreed to purchase convertible debentures (the “Convertible Debentures”) in an aggregate principal amount of up to $350,000 (the “Total Commitment Amount”). In addition, the Company issued the Debenture Purchasers warrants to purchase an aggregate of 53,846 shares of common stock (the “Warrants”) in consideration of their agreement to provide the Total Commitment Amount. The Debenture Purchasers are entities affiliated with Wynnefield Capital, Inc., the Company’s largest shareholder. Mr. Peter Black, a member of the Company’s Board of Directors, is an employee of Wynnefield Capital. On July 28, 2011, the Company drew down the entire amount of the Total Commitment amount available under the Debenture Purchase Agreement and issued the Convertible Debentures in the aggregate principal amount of $350,000 to the Debenture Purchasers.

The Convertible Debentures will mature on October 28, 2013, and bear interest at the rate of the greater of the prime rate plus 5% , or 10% per annum, payable at maturity or upon redemption of such Convertible Debentures. The interest rate at June 30, 2013 was 10% . The Convertible Debentures were initially convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at an initial conversion price of $1.30 per share, which was in excess of the fair market value of the Company’s common stock at that date. The initial conversion rate is subject to adjustment to account for certain customary events and also includes weighted-average anti-dilution protection for future issuances by the Company, subject to certain exclusions. The Company can also redeem the outstanding Convertible Debentures at any time at 120% of the remaining principal amount, plus accrued but unpaid interest. The Warrants are exercisable for five years at an initial exercise price equal to $1.00 . The initial exercise price of the Warrants is subject to adjustment for certain customary events and includes weighted average anti-dilution protection for future issuances by the Company, subject to certain exclusions. In connection with the parties’ entry into the Debenture Purchase Agreement, the Company, DLH Solutions, the Debenture Purchasers and Presidential Financial Corporation entered into subordination agreements concerning the terms of the subordination of the Convertible Debentures to the secured loan facility provided by Presidential Financial Corporation. Under the subordination agreements, the Company may not make payments on the Convertible Debentures unless no “Event of Default” exists under the secured loan facility, both before and as a result of such payments.

As a result of the rights offering in June 2012, the conversion rate of the Convertible Debentures was adjusted from $1.30 to $1.25 and the exercise price of the Warrants was adjusted from $1.00 to $0.96 per share.

Direct costs associated with the Debenture Purchase Agreement totaled $32,000 . These costs have been capitalized as deferred financing costs and amortized over the period that such debentures are outstanding or the Debenture Agreement is effective. In addition, an initial value of $42,000 was ascribed to the warrants and it was determined that at July 28, 2011, because of appreciation in the Company’s stock price, the embedded conversion feature included in the Convertible Debentures

had a fair value of $289,000 at the time of issuance of the Convertible Debentures; such amount is also being expensed over the life of the Convertible Debentures and the unamortized amounts have been deducted from the value of the Convertible Debentures as noted below. As a result of the rights offering the initial value of the warrants were revalued with minimal change and the value of the Convertible Debenture of $289,000 was revalued at $307,000 .

At June 30, 2013 , there were 53,846 warrants outstanding and the principal amount of the Convertible Debentures was convertible into 280,682 shares of common stock under the terms of the conversion feature embedded in the Convertible Debentures. The amount of shares of common stock under the conversion feature embedded in the Convertible Debenture was revalued from 269,230 shares to 280,682 as a result of adjustment to the conversion price due to the rights offering. Because the warrants and the conversion feature embedded in the Convertible Debenture have a weighted average anti-dilution feature that in certain circumstances could provide the holders with protection against changes in the market value of the Company’s common stock, they are required under applicable accounting standards to be recorded at fair value as of each reporting period. At June 30, 2013 and September 30, 2012, the Company evaluated the fair value of the Warrants and the embedded conversion feature of the Convertible Debentures using a binomial valuation model and recorded other income in the amount of $48,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 2013 , to reflect the net difference between their carrying values at September 30, 2012 and their fair values as of June 30, 2013 using the closing stock price as of June 30, 2013 for a total value of $71,000 .

On March 16, 2012, the Company filed a registration statement on Form S-1 with the Securities and Exchange Commission for a rights offering in which existing stockholders of the Company received non-transferable rights to purchase $4.2 million of additional shares of its common stock. Under the terms of the rights offering, the Company distributed, at no charge to the holders of its common stock as of the record date of April 10, 2012, non- transferable subscription rights for each share of common stock owned on the record date. Each subscription right entitled the holder to purchase 0.532 shares of the Company’s common stock at a price of $1.30 per share. The rights offering also includes an over-subscription privilege, which entitled a holder who exercises its basic subscription privilege in full the right to purchase additional shares of common stock that remain unsubscribed at the expiration of the rights offering, subject to the availability and pro rata allocation of shares among persons exercising this over-subscription right.

In connection with the rights offering, on April 30, 2012, the Company entered into a standby purchase agreement with Wynnefield Capital, Inc. (“Wynnefield Capital”), which owned, prior to the rights offering, approximately 21% of the Company’s Common Stock through certain affiliated entities. Pursuant to the standby purchase agreement, Wynnefield Capital (or affiliated assignees) agreed to acquire from us in the rights offering, subject to the satisfactions of specified conditions, the shares of common stock that relate to any rights that remain unexercised at the expiration of the rights offering. We entered into a registration rights agreement with Wynnefield Capital whereby we agreed, at our cost and expense, to register for resale under the Securities Act of 1933, all shares of common stock beneficially owned by Wynnefield Capital, including shares purchased by Wynnefield Capital in the rights offering as well as shares potentially received upon exercise of the conversion feature of the Convertible Debt and upon exercise of the associated warrants. This registration statement was declared effective by the SEC in January 2013.

The Company completed the closing of the rights offering on June 15, 2012 and raised gross proceeds of $4.2 million from the sale of 3,230,769 shares of its common stock. As a result, the total number of shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding increased to 9,305,702 shares. Officers and directors purchased an aggregate of 137,678 shares in the rights offering and entities affiliated with Wynnefield Capital purchased a total of 2,840,251 shares of our common stock.

(8) RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS AFFECTING THE COMPANY :

In December 2011, the FASB amended disclosure concerning offsetting assets and liabilities. The amendments in the update requires an entity to disclose information about offsetting and related arrangements to enable users of its financial statements to understand the effect of those arrangements on its financial position, including the effect or potential effect of rights of setoff associated with certain financial instruments and derivative instruments. Entities are required to disclose both gross information and net information about both instruments and transactions eligible for offset in the statement of financial position and instruments and transactions subject to an agreement similar to a master netting arrangement. This scope would include derivatives, sale and repurchase agreements and reverse sale and repurchase agreements, and securities borrowing and securities lending arrangements. The amendment is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those annual periods. An entity should provide the disclosures required by those amendments retrospectively for all comparative periods presented. The Company is currently evaluating the prospective effects, if any, of adopting this guidance.

In August 2012, the FASB issued technical amendments and corrections to SEC sections, effective for the period ended September 30, 2012. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material effect on the financial statements.

In October 2012, the FASB issued technical corrections and improvements, which include revisions to prior guidance on numerous topics, including Convertible Debentures. The effective date of these revisions is for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2012. The Company is currently evaluating the prospective effects, if any, of adopting this guidance.

In January 2013, the FASB issued clarifying guidance related to the amended disclosure requirements concerning offsetting assets and liabilities which had previously been issued in December 2011. This guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those annual periods. The Company is currently evaluating the prospective effects, if any, of adopting this guidance.

In February 2013, the FASB amended its guidance related to the reporting of amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income. The amendments are effective prospectively for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012. The Company is currently evaluating the prospective effects, if any, of adopting this guidance.

In July 2013, the FASB updated its guidance with respect to the presentation of unrecognized tax benefits. The guidance is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2013, with early adoption permitted. The Company has consistently reported in compliance with this updated guidance.

(9) ECONOMIC DEPENDENCY :

A major customer is defined as a customer from whom the Company derives at least 10% of its revenues. In each of the fiscal quarters ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 , revenue from the U.S. Government accounted, either directly or indirectly, for 100% of the Company’s total revenue. Within the U.S. Government, our largest customer in the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2013 continued to be the DVA, accounting for 96% of revenue in each of the fiscal quarters ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 , and with whom the Company held over a dozen contracts and/or task orders for logistics, pharmaceutical, and medical services, all subject to the Federal Acquisition Regulations. Accordingly, DLH remains particularly dependent on the continuation of its relationship with the DVA.

(10) NASDAQ NONCOMPLIANCE :

On May 3, 2013, the Company received a staff deficiency letter from The Nasdaq Stock Market (“ Nasdaq ”) notifying the Company that for the preceding 30 consecutive business days, the closing bid price per share of its common stock was below the $1.00 minimum bid price requirement for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market, as required by Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the “ Listing Rule ") and that the Company was not in compliance with the Listing Rule. Nasdaq provided the Company with an initial grace period of 180 calendar days, or until October 30, 2013, to regain compliance by sustaining a closing bid price of at least $1.00 per share for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days.

(11) SUBSEQUENT EVENTS :

Management has evaluated subsequent events through the date that the Company's financial statements were issued. Based on this evaluation, the Company has determined that no subsequent events have occurred which require disclosure through the date that these financial statements were issued.

ITEM 2: MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Forward Looking and Cautionary Statements

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Preparation of our financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. Actual results could differ from such estimates. These estimates and assumptions are affected by the application of our accounting policies. Critical policies and practices are both most important to the portrayal of a company’s financial condition and results of operations, and require management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effects of matters that are inherently uncertain. See Note 2, page F-11 of DLH’s 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2012 , as well as “Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” beginning on page 31 therein for a discussion of our critical accounting policies and estimates. We continually review these estimates and their underlying assumptions to ensure they are appropriate for the circumstances. Changes in the estimates and assumptions we use could have a significant impact on our financial results. We consider the following policies and estimates to be the most critical in understanding the more complex judgments that are involved in preparing our consolidated financial statements and that could impact our results of operations, financial position, and cash flows:

Revenue Recognition

Goodwill

In accordance with applicable accounting standards, DLH does not amortize goodwill. DLH continues to review its goodwill for possible impairment or loss of value at least annually or more frequently upon the occurrence of an event or when circumstances indicate that a reporting unit’s carrying amount is greater than its fair value. At September 30, 2012 , we performed a goodwill impairment evaluation. We performed both a qualitative and quantitative assessment of factors to determine whether it was necessary to perform the goodwill impairment test. Based on the results of the work performed, the Company concluded that no impairment loss was warranted at September 30, 2012 . Factors including non-renewal of a major contract (see Note 2—Liquidity) or other substantial changes in business conditions could have a material adverse effect on the valuation of goodwill in future periods and the resulting charge could be material to future periods’ results of operations. If an impairment write off of all the goodwill became necessary in future periods, a charge of up to $8.6 million would be expensed in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. All remaining goodwill is attributable to the DLH Solutions operating subsidiary.

Income Taxes

DLH accounts for income taxes in accordance with the “liability” method, whereby deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities, using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Deferred tax assets are reflected on the consolidated balance sheet when it is determined that it is more likely than not that the asset will be realized. This guidance also requires that deferred tax assets be reduced by a valuation allowance if it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. At June 30, 2013 and September 30, 2012 , the Company recorded a 100% valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets.

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) has issued authoritative guidance that clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an entity’s financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold of more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination. Measurement of the tax uncertainty occurs if the recognition threshold has been met. This interpretation also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods and disclosures. The Company conducts business solely in the U.S. and, as a result, also files income taxes in various states and other jurisdictions. Given the substantial net operating losses and the related valuation allowance established against such amounts, the Company has concluded that it does not have any uncertain tax positions. There have been no income tax related interest or penalties for the periods presented in these consolidated financial statements. In the normal course of business, the Company and its subsidiaries are subject to examination by Federal and state taxing authorities. The Company’s income tax returns for years subsequent to fiscal 2009 are currently open, by statute, for review by authorities. However, there are currently no examinations in progress and the Company is not aware of any pending audits.

Overview

Business Description

For more than 25 years, DLH Holdings Corp. (together with its subsidiaries, “DLH” or the “Company” and also referred to as “we,” “us” and “our”) through its subsidiaries has provided professional services to the U.S. Government. Headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia, DLH employs approximately 1,100 skilled technicians, logisticians, engineers, health care and support personnel at more than 25 locations around the United States. DLH’s operating subsidiary, DLH Solutions, Inc., is organized into three broad integrated business areas: Healthcare Delivery Solutions, Logistics and Technical Services, and Contingency / Staff Augmentation Services. Our government customers, a majority of whom are within the Departments of Defense (“DoD”) and Veterans Affairs (“DVA”), benefit from proven leadership processes, technical excellence, industry-leading productivity and affordability enhancement tools, and Lean Six Sigma-based quality improvement processes. The remaining portion of DLH’s business is comprised of customers within other federal agencies, including the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, the Departments of Justice, Agriculture, Interior and the Federal Emergency Management Agency, at locations throughout the United States.

Business Units

As part of our overall strategic planning process, the Company realigned its business into three operating units: Healthcare Delivery Solutions, Logistics & Technical Services, and Contingency/Staff Augmentation. This structure enables us to leverage our core competencies and drive towards profitable growth within our expanded target markets. We recognize that some business units may grow faster than others as a result of acquisition or disposition of business. In either case, we intend to enhance our delivery of quality products and services.

Healthcare Delivery Solutions

The Healthcare Delivery Solutions business unit, provides a broad continuum of care for our nation’s servicemen/women and veterans in various settings and facilities. These include Combat Trauma Centers (CTCs), Military Treatment Facilities (MTFs), Medical Centers, Community-based Outpatient Clinics (CBOCs), and Pharmacy Distribution Centers (including VA Consolidated Mail-order Outpatient Pharmacy). We leverage our network of over 400 active clinicians and other healthcare workers throughout selected regions in the US, applying differentiating tools, databases and technology to deliver these services. For over a decade, DLH Solutions has been serving the DVA and DoD in providing qualified medical and other professionals in a variety of positions. Healthcare Delivery Solutions is one of our strategic focus areas for growth and a major business area that DLH Solutions services. As more and more Federal and DoD programs increase their performance-based requirements, DLH Solutions’ workforce profile of medical talent and credentials (as described above) will help it to compete and differentiate itself in the marketplace. Professional services have included case management, health and injury assessment, critical care, medical/surgical, emergency room/trauma center, counseling, behavioral health and traumatic brain injury management, medical systems analysis, and medical logistics. While the DVA is its largest customer in this business unit, the Company has focused on leveraging that experience in adjacent healthcare markets within DoD and other federal agencies. For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2012 and the nine months ended June 30, 2013 , approximately 54% of our revenue was derived from the Healthcare Delivery Solutions business unit.

Logistics & Technical Services

The Logistics & Technical Services business unit draws heavily upon our proven logistics expertise and processes. DLH resources possess expertise covering a wide range of logistics, readiness, and project engineering. The experience of DLH Solutions’ project personnel is diverse from operational unit level to major systems and program office experience. Our core competencies include supply chain management, performance-based logistics, distribution center and inventory management, statistical process control, packaging/handling/storage & transportation, configuration management, readiness planning and supply support operations. In addition, we provide program and project management, systems engineering and applicable information technology services, integrated logistics support (including operational systems), readiness assessments, training, equipment maintenance, hazardous material management, facilities and shipyard support services and more. DLH Solutions also provides professional staff to the federal government specializing in logistics, office administration, IT, and facilities/warehouse management.

Through competitively awarded contracts and task orders (including its LOGWORLD contract) DLH Solutions has developed a strong portfolio of logistics processes, personnel and tools to help its clients achieve nationally recognized awards for customer satisfaction. While the DVA is its largest customer in this area, the Company has taken steps to expand in adjacent logistics markets within DoD and other federal agencies. For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2012 and the nine months ended June 30, 2013 , approximately 45% of our revenue was derived from the Logistics & Technical Services business unit.

Contingency/Staff Augmentation

The Contingency/Staff Augmentation business unit provides disaster and emergency response services and civilian workforce augmentation services. General staffing and selective recruitment process outsourcing are key components of this service area. For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2012 and the nine months ended June 30, 2013 , less than 1% of revenue was derived from the Contingency/Staff Augmentation line of service.

Recent Business Trends

We continue to see strong bipartisan support for our addressable areas of the Department of Veterans Affairs, and we continue to not expect significant impacts from sequestration or federal budget cuts to our existing contracts with the Department of Veterans Affairs or the Department of Defense. In addition, we continue to target programs and agencies that we believe are likely to maintain a large addressable long-term market. However, ongoing uncertainty surrounding the budget deficit negotiations and potential sequestration continues to cause delays in funding and contract awards by government program offices.

In addition, the government has continued to adjust the manner in which it purchases goods and services. We have seen a reduced rate of usage of time and materials and sole-source contracts along with a commitment to expand small business set asides. In addition, more scrutiny is being placed on the amount of fee bid on cost reimbursable type contracts. Pricing competition is taking on an increasing role in best value determinations with more detailed pricing oversight. Other considerations include:


•	federal government budget deficits and the growing U.S. national debt increasing pressure on the U.S. government to reduce federal spending across all federal agencies together with associated uncertainty about the size and timing of those reductions


•	cost cutting and efficiency initiatives, current and future budget reductions, continued implementation of Congressionally mandated automatic spending cuts, and other efforts to reduce U.S. government spending, which could cause clients to reduce or delay funding for orders for services


•	shift to greater use of lowest priced technically acceptable contracting award approaches by governmental agencies resulting in greater pressure on margins


•	current and continued uncertainty around the timing, extent and nature of Congressional and other U.S. government action to address budgetary constraints


•	changes in the relative mix of overall U.S. government spending and areas of spending growth, with lower spending on homeland security, intelligence and defense-related programs as overseas operations end, and continued increased spending on cyber-security, advanced analytics, technology integration and healthcare.

Based on the above considerations, from an overall budget perspective it remains likely that government discretionary spending will be constrained for several years to come. Although specific funding priorities are subject to change from year to year, we believe that our strategic business alignment around selected DoD and Veterans healthcare and logistics sustainment services allows us to remain well-placed to address what we consider to be top national priority budget areas (along with cyberspace and intelligence). We particularly benefit from the multi-year budgeting process unique to the Department of Veterans Affairs. As with other companies operating in the Federal government market, the possibility remains, however, that one or more of our targeted programs could be cut back or terminated as a result of the budget deficit negotiations.

Revenues

Revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 were $13.5 million and $12.6 million, respectively, which represents an increase of $0.9 million or 6.7%, despite extended government delays in major awards. The increase in revenue is due primarily to expansion on current programs.

Revenues for the nine months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 were $39.5 million and $36.7 million respectively, which represents an increase of $2.8 million or 7.4% over the prior fiscal period. The increase in revenue is due primarily to expansion on current programs as well as having the full nine month impact of new business awards received during the prior year period.

Direct Expenses

Direct expenses are generally comprised of direct labor (including benefits), direct material, subcontracts, and other direct costs. Direct expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 were $11.5 million and $11.0 million, respectively, which represent an increase of $0.5 million or 4.1% on higher revenue. As a percentage of revenue, direct expenses for the 2013 and 2012 periods were 85.3% and 87.4% , respectively, with the improvement attributable to favorable contract performance and cost management.

Direct expenses for the nine months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 were $33.9 million and $32.3 million, respectively, which represents an increase of $1.6 million or 5.1% consistent with increased revenue. As a percentage of revenue, direct expenses for the nine months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 were 86.0% and 87.9% , respectively, with the improvement attributable to favorable contract performance and cost management.

Gross Profit

Gross profit for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 was $2.0 million and $1.6 million, respectively, which represents an increase of $0.4 million or 24.2%. As a percentage of revenue, gross profit was 14.7% and 12.6% , for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 , respectively. The gross profit rate benefited from improved contract performance and cost management.

Gross profit for the nine months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 was $5.5 million and $4.5 million, respectively, which represents an increase of $1.0 million or 24.2% over the prior fiscal year period. As a percentage of revenue, gross profit was 14.0% and 12.1% for the nine months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 , respectively. The gross profit rate benefited from improved contract performance and cost management.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative (“G&A”) expenses primarily relate to functions such as operations overhead, corporate management, legal, finance, accounting, contracts administration, human resources, management information systems, and business development.

G&A expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 were $1.8 million and $1.9 million, respectively, a decrease of $0.1 million or 8.0%. As a percent of revenue, G&A expenses were 13.3% and 15.4% for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 , respectively. This improvement was due to resource consolidation and cost reduction initiatives to allow greater leverage of administrative resources as revenue grew.

G&A expenses for the nine months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 were $5.4 million and $5.5 million respectively, a decrease of $0.1 million or 3.0%. As a percent of revenue, G&A expenses were 13.6% and 15.1% for the nine months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 , respectively. This improvement was due to resource consolidation and cost reduction initiatives to allow greater leverage of administrative resources as revenue grew.

Severance

Severance expense was approximately $0 and $236,000 for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 , respectively.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization expense was approximately $30,000 and $37,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 , respectively.

Depreciation and amortization expense was approximately $95,000 and $87,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 , respectively.

Income (Loss) from Operations

Income from operations for the three months ended June 30, 2013 was approximately $158,000 as compared to loss from operations for the three months ended June 30, 2012 of approximately $625,000. The improvement in income from operations results from improved gross margin and decreased general and administrative expenses described above.

Income from operations for nine months ended June 30, 2013 was approximately $74,000 as compared to loss from operations for the nine months ended June 30, 2012 of approximately $1,399,000. The improvement in income from operations results from the same factors as discussed for the three month period ended June 30, 2013 .

Other Income (Expense)

Other income (expense), net was $(90,000) for the three months ended June 30, 2013 as compared to $57,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2012 . The increase in other expense of approximately $148,000 is primarily to a change in fair value ascribed to the derivative financial instruments associated with our warrants and convertible debentures.

Other income (expense), net was $(243,000) and $(273,000) for the nine months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 , respectively. The decrease in other expense of approximately $30,000 was due primarily to decreased utilization of the credit facility.

Income Tax

The Company provided a 100% deferred tax valuation allowance because it believes that it cannot be considered more likely than not that it will be able to realize a benefit from its deferred tax asset. The Company determined that negative evidence, including historic and current taxable losses, as well as uncertainties related to the ability to utilize certain Federal and state net loss carry forwards, outweighed any objectively verifiable positive factors, and as such, concluded that a valuation allowance was necessary. In assessing the need for a valuation allowance, the Company historically has considered all positive and negative evidence, including scheduled reversals of deferred tax liabilities, prudent and feasible tax planning strategies and recent financial performance. In the three and nine months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 , the Company recognized no tax expense.

Net Income (Loss)

Net income for the three months ended June 30, 2013 was $68,000, or $0.01 per basic and diluted share, as compared to loss from continuing operations of ($568,000) or ($0.09) per basic and diluted share for the three months ended June 30, 2012 . This improvement is due to increased gross profit and constraints on spending as described in the preceding paragraphs.

Net loss for the nine months ended June 30, 2013 was ($0.17 million), or ($0.02) per basic and diluted share, as compared to net loss of ($1.67 million), or ($0.27) per basic and diluted share for the nine months ended June 30, 2012 . This improvement is due to increased gross profit, constraints on spending, and reduced other expenses as described in the preceding paragraphs.

Other Data

Earnings (Loss) Before Interest Tax Depreciation and Amortization (“EBITDA”) adjusted for other non-cash charges (“Adjusted EBITDA”(1)) for the three months ended June 30, 2013 was $228,000 as compared to ($498,000) for the three months ended June 30, 2012 , due principally to the increased gross profit and reduced expenses described above.

Earnings (Loss) Before Interest Tax Depreciation and Amortization (“EBITDA”) adjusted for other non-cash charges (“Adjusted EBITDA”(1)) for the nine months ended June 30, 2013 was $337,000 as compared to ($1,003,000) for the nine months ended June 30, 2012 , due principally to the increased gross profit and reduced expenses described above.

(1) We present Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental non-GAAP measure of our performance. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net loss plus (i) interest and other expenses, net, (ii) provision for or benefit from income taxes, if any, (iii) depreciation and amortization, and (iv) G&A expenses — equity grants. This non-GAAP measure of our performance is used by management to conduct and evaluate its business during its regular review of operating results for the periods presented. Management and the Company’s Board utilize this non-GAAP measure to make decisions about the use of the Company’s resources, analyze performance between periods, develop internal projections and measure management performance. We believe that this non-GAAP measure is useful to investors in evaluating the Company’s ongoing operating and financial results and understanding how such results compare with the Company’s historical performance. By providing this non-GAAP measure, as a supplement to GAAP information, we believe we are enhancing investors’ understanding of our business and our results of operations. This non-GAAP financial measure is limited in its usefulness and should be considered in addition to, and not in lieu of, US GAAP financial measures. Further, this non-GAAP measure may be unique to the Company, as it may be different from the definition of non-GAAP measures used by other companies. A reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA with net loss from continuing operations is as follows:



	For the three months ended June 30,					For the nine months ended June 30,
	2013		2012			2013			2012
Net income (loss)	$	68	$	(568	)	$	(169	)	$	(1,672	)

Potential Contractual Billing Adjustments

DLH has accrued revenue and costs associated with certain government contracts covered by the Service Contract Act. These adjustments are due to changes in the contracted wage determination rates for certain employees. A wage determination is the listing of wage rates and fringe benefit rates for each classification of laborers whom the Administrator of the Wage and Hour Division of the U.S. Department of Labor (“DOL”) has determined to be prevailing in a given locality. Contractors performing services for the Federal government under certain contracts are required to pay service employees in various classes no less than the wage rates and fringe benefits determined to be prevailing in these localities. An audit by the DOL in fiscal 2008 at one of the facilities revealed that notification, as required by contract, was not provided to DLH Solutions in order to effectuate the wage increases in a timely manner. Wages for employees on assignment at the time have been adjusted prospectively to the prevailing rate and hourly billing rates to the DVA have been increased accordingly. During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2008, DLH recognized nonrecurring revenues of $10.8 million and direct costs of $10.1 million, based on

amounts that are contractually due under its arrangements with the Federal agencies. At June 30, 2013 , the amount of the remaining accounts receivable with the DVA approximates $9.3 million.

In April 2012, the Company received formal contract modifications from the DVA concerning the retroactive billing matter for which revenue was accrued in 2008. The contract modifications from the DVA incorporate relevant wage determinations covering largely 2006 and 2007 applying to the Company’s historical contracts with DVA during those periods. These government modifications initiate the procedures whereby the Company may invoice the DVA in accordance with the modified wage determinations and subsequently make timely retroactive payments to employees (active and inactive) covering work performed at the certain locations. The Company expects to follow the process directed by and in conjunction with the Department of Labor and the DVA in generating these invoices. Although the timing cannot be guaranteed, at present the Company expects to bill and collect such amounts within the next twelve months.

The Company continues to support the Government’s review of the detailed supporting calculations for the retroactive billings and to negotiate an incremental final amount related to indirect costs and fees applied to these retroactive billings. The additional indirect costs and fees are estimated to be between $0.4 million and $0.6 million. The Company has developed these estimates under the same contractual provisions applied to the sites that were settled in 2008. However, because these amounts remain subject to government review, no assurances can be given that any amounts that we may receive will be within the range specified above.

Liquidity and Capital Resources; Commitments

Liquidity

At June 30, 2013 , the Company had a net working capital deficit of approximately $2.1 million and an accumulated deficit of approximately $67.6 million . For the three months ended June 30, 2013 , the Company reported income from operations of $158,000 and generated net income of approximately $67,000.

In May 2012, the Company entered into an amendment to the Loan and Security Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with Presidential Financial Corporation (the “Lender”) pursuant to which the Lender agreed to increase the available line of credit from $3,000,000 to a maximum amount of $6,000,000 and to increase the maximum amount available under the unbilled accounts facility of the Loan Agreement from $500,000 to $1,000,000. However, as described in greater detail in Note 6 in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company’s ability to borrow against the increased available credit is subject to the satisfaction of a number of conditions, and presently, the maximum availability under this loan facility is $3,000,000; subject to eligible accounts receivable. At June 30, 2013 , the amount of unused availability was $35,000 . The amount outstanding on the loan facility as of June 30, 2013 was $2,313,000 .

Presently, the Company derives all of its revenue from agencies of the Federal government. For both the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 , the Company derived approximately 96% of its revenue from various contracts awarded by the DVA, including under a single source Blanket Purchase Agreement awarded in fiscal 2011. The Blanket Purchase Agreement had an original estimated total contract value of approximately $145,000,000 , which is attributable to our provision of services

over a five year period of performance that is scheduled to expire on October 31, 2016. The five year term of the agreement includes a base year and four option years. The agreement is subject to the Federal Acquisition Regulations, and there can be no assurance as to the actual amount of services that the Company will ultimately provide under the agreement. This agreement represented approximately 53% of the Company’s revenues for both the three and nine months ended June 30, 2013 . The remainder of the services that the Company provides to the DVA is pursuant to contractual work orders that run through September 30, 2013. The Company is presently awaiting a response from DVA on proposals it timely submitted in July 2013 for renewal of these contracts. Although the Company believes that its extensive experience in this field allows it to be competitively well-positioned to retain this work, no assurances can be given that the Company will be successful in its bid for any one or all of these new contracts. The Company's results of operations, cash flows and financial condition would be materially adversely affected in the event that we are unable to continue our relationships with the DVA or suffer a significant diminution in the quantity of services that they procure from the Company.

Cash from operating activities

Net cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended June 30, 2013 was $367,000. The net cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended June 30, 2012 was $2,238,000. The improved cash position is due principally to improved results of operations and stronger collections on higher accounts receivable derived from increased revenue.

Cash from investing activities

Net cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 was $9,000 and $137,000, respectively, with the reduction due to lower capital expenditures in the current year period.

Cash from financing activities

Net cash used in financing activities for the nine months ended June 30, 2013 was $137,000. Net cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended June 30, 2012 was $4,739,000, which was generated primarily from the June 2012 rights offering and borrowing on our line of credit.

Loan Facility

On July 29, 2010, DLH Solutions entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with Presidential Financial Corporation (the “Lender”). Under the Loan Agreement, the Lender agreed to provide a two (2) year secured loan facility to DLH Solutions in an aggregate amount of up to $1.5 million, upon the further terms and subject to the conditions of the Loan Agreement. In November, 2010, the Lender agreed by means of an amendment to the Loan Agreement to increase the maximum amount available under the facility from $1.5 million to $2.5 million and on February 9, 2011, we entered into a further amendment to the Loan Agreement pursuant to which the Lender agreed to further increase our maximum availability under the Loan Agreement from $2.5 million to $3.0 million and to provide an unbilled receivable facility within the limits of the Loan Agreement. The February 2011 amendment also extended the base term of the Loan Agreement by 12 months, to July 29, 2013, after which the Agreement will automatically renew annually, unless terminated by either party.

In May 2012, the Company entered into a further amendment to the Loan Agreement (the “Fifth Amendment”) pursuant to which the Lender agreed to increase the available line of credit from $3,000,000 to a maximum amount of $6,000,000 and to increase the maximum amount available under the unbilled accounts facility of the Loan Agreement from $500,000 to $1,000,000. The Company’s ability to borrow against the increased available credit, however, is subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions. The Fifth Amendment provides for an initial sublimit under the maximum loan amount of $3,000,000 (the “Initial Sublimit”) and an adjusted sublimit of $4,000,000 (the “Adjusted Sublimit”). The Initial Sublimit of $3,000,000 will remain in effect until the satisfaction of the following conditions: (i) the repayment of the $500,000 over-advance accommodation agreed to by Lender as of May 9, 2012, (ii) the Company’s demonstration of the need for the increase, (iii) the Company’s continued compliance with the Loan Agreement, and (iv) Lender, in its sole discretion, agrees to increase the Initial Sublimit. In the event that the foregoing conditions are satisfied, the credit available to under the Loan Agreement shall remain subject to the Adjusted Sublimit until the parties receive any required waivers or consents from the holders of the Company’s subordinated Convertible Debentures issued as of July 28, 2011 and Lender, in its sole discretion, agrees to such further increase. In addition, the increased availability under the unbilled accounts facility of the Loan Agreement is subject to the satisfaction of the same conditions that are applicable to Initial Sublimit. Accordingly, until these conditions are satisfied, the current borrowing limits remain in effect, except that in May 2013, the sublimit for the maximum amounts available on unbilled accounts was increased from $500,000 to $750,000. At June 30, 2013 , the amount of unused availability was $35,000 . The amount outstanding on the loan facility as of June 30, 2013 was $2,313,000 .

DLH Solutions’ ability to request loan advances under the Loan Agreement is subject to an advance availability limit based on “eligible accounts receivables” multiplied by an “Accounts Advance Rate”, which is currently 85%, subject to change by the Lender in its discretion and compliance with the covenants and conditions of the Loan Agreement. The loan is secured by a security interest and lien on substantially all of DLH Solutions’ assets. The Loan Agreement requires compliance with customary covenants and contains restrictions on our ability to engage in certain transactions. Among other matters, under the Loan Agreement we may not, without consent of the Lender, (i) merge or consolidate with another entity, form any new subsidiary or acquire any interest in a third party; (ii) acquire any assets except in the ordinary course of business; (iii) enter into any transaction outside the ordinary course of business; (iv) sell or transfer collateral; (v) make any loans to, or investments in, any affiliate or enter into any transaction with an affiliate other than on an arms-length basis; (vi) incur any debt outside the ordinary course of business; (vii) pay or declare any dividends or other distributions; or (viii) redeem, retire or purchase any of our equity interests exceeding $50,000. Further, without the consent of the Lender, the Company is also restricted from making any payments in respect of other outstanding indebtedness. The Lender agreed to eliminate the tangible net worth covenant as part of the Fifth Amendment. The Lender may terminate the Loan Agreement at any time upon 60 days written notice after December 31, 2012 and the Loan Agreement provides for customary events of default following which the Lender may, at its option, terminate the loan agreement and accelerate the repayment of any amount outstanding.

The Company has concurrently executed a Corporate Guaranty Agreement with Lender pursuant to which it has guaranteed all of the obligations of DLH Solutions under the Loan Agreement.

For further disclosure regarding our Loan Facility, refer to Note 6 in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Payroll Taxes

In prior periods, DLH received notices from the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) claiming taxes, interest and penalties due related to payroll taxes predominantly from its former PEO operations which were sold in fiscal 2003. DLH also received notices from the IRS reporting overpayments of taxes. Management believes that these notices are predominantly the result of misapplication of payroll tax payments between its legal entities. If not resolved favorably, the Company may incur interest and penalties. Until the sale of certain assets related to the former PEO operations, DLH operated through 17 subsidiaries, and management believes that the IRS has not correctly identified payments made through certain of the different entities, therefore leading to the notices. Through the fiscal year ended September 30, 2009, DLH worked with the IRS to resolve these discrepancies and had certain interest and penalty claims abated. DLH also received notices from the Social Security Administration claiming variances in wage reporting compared to IRS transcripts. DLH believes the notices from the Social Security Administration are directly related to the IRS notices received. DLH believes it has fully responded to the notices issued. DLH believes that after the IRS applies all the funds correctly, any significant interest and penalties will be abated; however, there can be no assurance that each of these matters will be resolved favorably. In settling various years for specific subsidiaries with the IRS, the Company received refunds for those specific periods; however, as the process of settling and concluding on other periods and subsidiaries is not yet completed, the potential exists for related penalties and interest. The remaining liability ( $1.4 million at June 30, 2013 ) has been recorded in accrued expenses and other current liabilities and includes estimated accrued penalties and interest totaling approximately $600,000 .

The Company believes it has accrued for the entire estimated remaining liability, inclusive of interest and penalties through the date of the financial statements. The Company may incur additional interest and may incur possible additional penalties through the future date that this obligation is settled. However, it is not currently possible to estimate what, if any, additional amount(s) may be due in the future, given the uncertain timing and nature of any future settlement negotiations. No payments were made in fiscal 2012 or year to date in fiscal 2013 . Management believes that the ultimate resolution of these remaining payroll tax matters will not have a significant adverse effect on its financial position or future results of operations. The Company’s intention is that it will in due course seek to negotiate a mutually satisfactory payment plan with the IRS, but there is no assurance that it would be successful in doing so and the Company’s future cash flows and liquidity could therefore be materially affected by this matter.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have not created, and are not party to, any special-purpose or off-balance sheet entities for the purpose of raising capital, incurring debt or operating parts of our business that are not consolidated into our financial statements. We do not have any arrangements or relationships with entities that are not consolidated into our financial statements that are reasonably likely to materially affect our liquidity or the availability of our capital resources. We have entered into various agreements by which we may be obligated to indemnify the other party with respect to certain matters. Generally, these indemnification provisions are included in contracts arising in the normal course of business under which we customarily agree to hold the indemnified party harmless against losses arising from a breach of representations related to such matters as intellectual property rights. Payments by us under such indemnification clauses are generally conditioned on the other party making a claim. Such claims are generally subject to challenge by us and to dispute resolution procedures specified in the particular contract. Further, our obligations under these arrangements may be limited in terms of time and/or amount and, in some instances, we may have recourse against third parties for certain payments made by us. It is not possible to predict the maximum potential amount of future payments under these indemnification agreements due to the conditional nature of our obligations and the unique facts of each particular agreement. Historically, we have not made any payments under these agreements that have been material individually or in the aggregate. As of our most recent fiscal year end we were not aware of any obligations under such indemnification agreements that would require material payments.

Effects of Inflation

Inflation and changing prices have not had a material effect on DLH’s net revenues and results of operations, as DLH has been able to modify its prices and cost structure to respond to inflation and changing prices.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Affecting the Company

Refer to Note 8 under Item 1, Financial Statements, for a detailed disclosure regarding Recent Accounting Pronouncements.

ITEM 3: QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

DLH does not undertake trading practices in securities or other financial instruments and therefore does not have any material exposure to interest rate risk, foreign currency exchange rate risk, commodity price risk or other similar risks, which might otherwise result from such practices. DLH is not materially subject to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates, commodity prices or other market rates or prices from market sensitive instruments other than potentially in future periods in regard to certain derivative instruments or embedded features required to be accounted for as derivative instruments as discussed in Note 7 to the accompanying financial statements. DLH believes it does not have a material interest rate risk with respect to our prior workers’ compensation programs. In connection with DLH’s prior workers’ compensation programs, prepayments of future claims were deposited into trust funds for possible future payments of these claims in accordance with the policies. The interest income resulting from these prepayments is for the benefit of DLH, and is used to offset workers’ compensation expense. Interest rates payable on these funds have been relatively static and at a level where any further downward rate adjustments would not be expected to result in a material adverse impact on the Company’s exposure to workers’ compensation expense. DLH does not believe the level of exposure to interest rate fluctuations on its debt instruments is material given the amount of debt subject to variable interest rates and the prime rate interest rate floors of at least 3.25% applied by the Lenders.

ITEM 4: CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our CEO and President and Chief Financial Officer, after evaluating the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report, has concluded that, based on the evaluation of these controls and procedures, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and President and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Our management, including our CEO and President and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within our company have been detected. Our management, however, believes our disclosure controls and procedures are in fact effective to provide reasonable assurance that the objectives of the control system are met.

Changes in Internal Controls

There have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the Company’s fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2013 , that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Part II — OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1: LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

As the Company has previously reported, it was advised of a claim by the U.S. Attorney based on an alleged failure to pay certain classes of employees the prevailing wages as required by the Service Contract Act during the years 2003-2010. The Company is continuing to review the data allegedly supporting the claims with the U.S. Department of Justice and has provided additional data as requested in an effort to determine whether any wage adjustment is required. These claims appear, in part, to be part of the claims previously disclosed by the Company and related to services provided to the Department of Veterans Affairs by DLH. Until the analysis of the data is complete, we cannot finally determine either the merits of the claim or the potential impact on the Company; however, the Company continues to believe it has acted in conformity with its contractual commitments and no wage adjustment is required. The Company also believes it has fully responded to all requests related to this claim. Nevertheless, there can be no assurance that an adverse decision or settlement would not have a material adverse impact on the Company.

ITEM 1A: RISK FACTORS

Our operating results and financial condition have varied in the past and may in the future vary significantly depending on a number of factors. In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in the “Risk Factors” section in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2012 and in our other reports filed with the SEC for a discussion of the risks associated with our business, financial condition and results of operations. These factors, among others, could have a material adverse effect upon our business, results of operations, financial condition or liquidity and cause our actual results to differ materially from those contained in statements made in this report and presented elsewhere by management from time to time. The risks identified by DLH in its reports are not the only risks facing us. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently believe are immaterial also

may materially adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition or liquidity. We believe there have been no material changes in our risk factors from those disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2012 and in our subsequently filed Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarters ended December 31, 2012 and March 31, 2013.
