Item 1.01.    Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Stock Purchase Agreement

        On May 8, 2012, Kratos Defense & Security Solutions, Inc. ("we", "Kratos" or the "Company") entered into a stock purchase agreement (the "CEI Purchase Agreement") with Composite Engineering, Inc. ("CEI"), the shareholders of CEI (each, a "CEI Shareholder" and collectively, the "CEI Shareholders"), and Amy Fournier, in her capacity as shareholder representative thereunder (the "Shareholder Representative"). The boards of directors of Kratos and CEI have approved the CEI Purchase Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby. Pursuant to the terms of the CEI Purchase Agreement, we will acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of CEI ("CEI Common Stock"), for an aggregate purchase price of $155.0 million, of which $135.0 million will be paid in cash, subject to adjustments for transaction expenses incurred by CEI, indebtedness of CEI, post-closing working capital adjustments, and CEI's tax liabilities for the 2012 taxable year, and $20.0 million will be paid in shares of our common stock. The number of shares of our common stock issuable to the CEI Shareholders will be based on the issue price of our common stock in the Offering (as defined below in Item 8.01) (such shares, the "Consideration Shares") and, following the closing of the acquisition and completion of the Offering, the CEI Shareholders will have certain piggy-back registration rights with respect to the Consideration Shares. Unless otherwise registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), the Consideration Shares may be sold by the CEI Shareholders in accordance with Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act.

        Upon completion of the acquisition, we will withhold an aggregate of $12.7 million from the cash portion of the purchase price, to be delivered to an escrow agent, of which (i) $10.7 million will be held as collateral and security for the rights of certain indemnified parties, including in connection with post-closing working capital adjustments, and (ii) $2.0 million will be held to pay the costs and expenses of the Shareholder Representative and the CEI Shareholders after the completion of the acquisition. Upon completion of the acquisition, and subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in the CEI Purchase Agreement, CEI will become our wholly owned subsidiary.

        Pursuant to the terms of the CEI Purchase Agreement, Kratos and the CEI Shareholders expect to make an election under Section 338(h)(10) of the Internal Revenue Code, which will allow the Company to deduct for income tax purposes the goodwill attributable to CEI over a 15-year amortization period.

        The completion of the acquisition is subject to customary closing conditions, including (i) the expiration of all applicable waiting periods under the Hart-Scott Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended (the "HSR Act"), (ii) subject to certain materiality exceptions, the accuracy of the representations and warranties made by each of Kratos and CEI and the compliance by each of Kratos and CEI with their respective obligations under the CEI Purchase Agreement, (iii) the absence of a material adverse effect on CEI, (iv) the receipt of certain required consents, (v) the receipt of certain legal opinions, (vi) the receipt of certificates of certain officers of Kratos and CEI, and (vii) other closing conditions set forth in the CEI Purchase Agreement.

        Kratos and CEI have made customary representations, warranties, and covenants in the CEI Purchase Agreement, including, among other things, covenants regarding (i) the operation of CEI's business prior to the closing, (ii) Kratos' obligations with respect to certain offers of employment, the issuance of restricted stock units to certain key managers of CEI to induce them to accept employment with Kratos and the provision of indemnification insurance for CEI's directors and officers, and (iii) the parties' obligations to cooperate in seeking regulatory approvals, including under the HSR Act.

        The CEI Purchase Agreement contains certain termination rights for each of Kratos and CEI and the Shareholder Representative (acting together). The CEI Purchase Agreement also provides for indemnification of the CEI Shareholders and Kratos, under certain circumstances, provided, however,

2


that the CEI Shareholders shall not be liable for certain losses until the aggregate amount of such losses exceeds $1.5 million and shall not be liable for aggregate losses in excess of the purchase price.

        The foregoing description of the CEI Purchase Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the full text of the CEI Purchase Agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 2.1 and the terms of which are incorporated herein by reference.

        The CEI Purchase Agreement has been attached hereto pursuant to applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") in order to provide investors and stockholders with information regarding its terms. However, it is not intended to provide any other factual information about the Company, CEI, their respective subsidiaries and affiliates or any other party. In particular, the representations, warranties and covenants contained in the CEI Purchase Agreement have been made only for the purpose of the CEI Purchase Agreement and, as such, are intended solely for the benefit of the parties to the CEI Purchase Agreement. In many cases, these representations, warranties and covenants are as of specific dates, subject to limitations agreed upon by the parties and qualified by certain disclosures exchanged by the parties in connection with the execution of the CEI Purchase Agreement. Furthermore, many of the representations and warranties in the CEI Purchase Agreement are the result of a negotiated allocation of contractual risk among the parties and, taken in isolation, do not necessarily reflect facts about the Company, CEI, their respective subsidiaries and affiliates or any other party. Likewise, any references to materiality contained in the representations and warranties may not correspond to concepts of materiality applicable to investors or stockholders. Finally, information concerning the subject matter of the representations and warranties may change after the date of the CEI Purchase Agreement and these changes may not be fully reflected in the Company's public disclosures.

Amendments to Credit Agreement

        On May 4, 2012, we entered into a second amendment (the "Second Amendment") to our existing Credit and Security Agreement ("Credit Agreement"), dated as of May 19, 2010, as amended and restated as of July 27, 2011, with KeyBank National Association ("KeyBank") and certain other lenders. Among other things, the Second Amendment (i) increased the amount of the Credit Agreement from $90.0 million to $110.0 million, (ii) added to and modified the definitions of certain terms contained in the Credit Agreement, (iii) added Cathay Bank as a lender under the Credit Agreement and (iv) updated certain schedules to the Credit Agreement.

        On May 8, 2012, we entered into a third amendment (the "Third Amendment" and together with the Second Amendment, the "Credit Amendments") to the Credit Agreement. Under the terms of the Third Amendment, the definitions of certain terms of the Credit Agreement were modified and the acquisition of CEI was approved. We expect to use the net proceeds from the Offering (as defined below in Item 8.01) together with the borrowings under our credit facility to fund the purchase of the CEI Common Stock in connection with the acquisition of CEI and to pay related fees and expenses.

        The foregoing description of the Credit Amendments does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the full text of the Second Amendment and Third Amendment, copies of which are attached hereto as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2, respectively, and the terms of which are incorporated herein by reference.

Additional Information and Where to Find It

        The issuer has filed a registration statement (including a prospectus) and a preliminary prospectus supplement with the SEC for an underwritten public offering in connection with its proposed acquisition of CEI. Before you invest in such offering, you should read the preliminary prospectus supplement, including the base registration statement (and accompanying prospectus), and other

Alternatively, the issuer or the underwriter participating in the offering will arrange to send you the preliminary prospectus supplement and accompanying prospectus if you request them by calling toll-free 1-888-295-0155.

Item 3.02    Unregistered Sale of Equity Securities.

        The disclosures made in response to Item 1.01 above are incorporated herein by reference.

        The issuance of the Consideration Shares to the CEI Shareholders is exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and/or Regulation D promulgated thereunder.

Item 8.01    Other Events.

        On May 8, 2012, the Company (i) issued a press release announcing the proposed acquisition of CEI, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference and (ii) issued a press release announcing the launch of an underwritten public offering of its common stock (the "Offering"), a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.2 and incorporated herein by reference.

Forward-Looking Statements

        Certain statements in this Current Report on Form 8-K and in the press releases attached hereto may constitute "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such statements relate to a variety of matters, including but not limited to: the timing and anticipated completion of the acquisition of CEI and other statements that are not purely statements of historical fact. These forward-looking statements are made on the basis of the current beliefs, expectations and assumptions of the management of the Company and CEI and are subject to significant risks and uncertainty. Investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements. All such forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and neither the Company nor CEI undertakes any obligation to update or revise these statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

        Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements contained herein include, but are not limited to: any operational or cultural difficulties associated with the integration of the businesses of the Company and CEI; potential adverse reactions or changes to business relationships resulting from the announcement or completion of the proposed acquisition of CEI; unexpected costs, charges or expenses resulting from the proposed acquisition of CEI; litigation or adverse judgments relating to the proposed acquisition of CEI; risks relating to the consummation of the contemplated acquisition of CEI, including the risk that the closing conditions to acquisition of CEI will not be satisfied; the failure to realize synergies and cost savings from the transaction or delay in realization thereof; any difficulties associated with requests or directions from governmental authorities resulting from their reviews of the transaction; the risk that the Offering may not be completed; and any changes in general economic and/or industry-specific conditions. Additional factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements are set forth in the prospectus supplement filed in connection with the Offering, the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 25, 2011, which was filed with the SEC on March 7, 2012, under the heading "Item 1A—Risk Factors," and in subsequent reports on Forms 10-Q and 8-K and other filings made with the SEC by the Company.

ARTICLE VI.

        Section 6.1    Conditions to Obligations of All Parties.    The obligations of each party to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be subject to the fulfillment, at or prior to the Closing, of each of the following conditions:

        Section 6.4    Failure to Obtain Consents.    In the event that the Company shall not have received all Required Consents as required by Section 6.2(d) above but Buyer has nevertheless agreed to waive such condition and otherwise consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the parties have agreed that, notwithstanding any other term or provision hereof, neither the Company nor the Sellers (through indemnification or otherwise) shall have any Liability to Buyer (or others claiming through Buyer) in connection with such failure. In that event, Buyer agrees that the sole risk of loss arising from such failure to obtain any one or more referenced Consents shall be borne by Buyer.


ARTICLE VII.
INDEMNIFICATION

        Section 7.2    Indemnification by the Sellers.

        Section 7.3    Indemnification by Buyer.    Subject to the other terms and conditions of this Article VII, Buyer shall indemnify each Seller against, and shall hold each Seller harmless from, any and all Losses incurred or sustained by, or imposed upon, such Seller based upon, arising out of, with respect to or by reason of:

49


50


        Section 7.5    Indemnification Procedures.    

51


52


        Section 7.6    Tax Treatment of Indemnification Payments.    All indemnification payments made under this Agreement shall be treated by the parties as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by Applicable Law.

        Section 7.7    Exclusive Remedies.    Subject to Section 9.11 (Specific Performance) and Section 5.2 (Supplement to Disclosure Schedules), and except in the event of actual common law fraud (but subject to the limitation on liability set forth in Section 7.4(i)), the parties acknowledge and agree that after the Closing, their sole and exclusive remedy with respect to any and all claims for any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation set forth herein or otherwise arising out of or relating to the subject matter of this Agreement, shall be pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in Section 5.11(e) and Article VII. In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted under Applicable Law, any and all rights, claims, remedies and causes of action for any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation set forth herein or otherwise relating to the subject matter of this Agreement it may have against the other parties hereto and their Affiliates and each of their respective Representatives arising under or based upon any Applicable Law, except pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in Section 5.11(e) and Article VII and except in the event of actual common law fraud (but subject to the limitation on liability set forth in Section 7.4(i)). Nothing in this Section 7.7 shall limit any Person's right to seek and obtain any equitable relief or specific performance to which any Person shall be entitled pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. The provisions of this Section 7.7 were specifically bargained for between the parties and were taken into account in arriving at the Purchase Price. The Company and the Sellers have specifically relied upon the provisions of this Section 7.7 in agreeing to the Purchase Price and in agreeing to provide the specific representations and warranties made hereunder. Neither the Company nor the Sellers would have entered into this Agreement but for the inclusion of this Section 7.7.

        Section 7.8    No Contribution.    Following the Closing, should this occur, the Sellers shall not have and shall not exercise or assert (or attempt to exercise or assert), any right of contribution, right of indemnity or other right or remedy against the Company in connection with any indemnification obligation or any other Liability to which the Sellers may become subject to in connection with this Agreement.

53


        Section 7.9    Liability of Certain Sellers.    It is expressly agreed and acknowledged that Michel M. Fournier and Amy Fournier shall be jointly and severally liable for any and all Losses for which Michel M. Fournier or Amy Fournier only, are responsible under the terms of this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, to the extent that any liability under this Article VII is limited to such Seller's respective Percentage Interest of the applicable Loss, each of Michel M. Fournier and Amy Fournier shall be jointly and severally liable for their aggregate Percentage Interest of such Loss.


ARTICLE VIII.
TERMINATION

        Section 8.1    Termination.    This Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Closing:

54


        Section 8.2    Effect of Termination.    In the event that this Agreement is validly terminated in accordance with this Article VIII, then each of the parties shall be relieved of their duties and obligations arising under this Agreement after the date of such termination and such termination shall be without liability to Buyer, any Seller or the Company; provided, however, that (a) nothing in this Article VIII shall relieve Buyer, any Seller or the Company of any liability for any Losses for any willful and intentional breach of any representation or any willful and intentional breach of any covenant or other agreement contained in this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents, (b) nothing in this Article VIII shall limit any provision relating to the payment of fees and expenses or the commitment to retain information as confidential, which in each case, shall survive any such termination and (c) Buyer's election to terminate in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.2(c) above shall function as its exclusive election of remedies in connection therewith.


ARTICLE IX.
MISCELLANEOUS

        Section 9.1    Expenses.    Whether or not the Closing shall have occurred, each party hereto shall pay its own expenses incident to preparing for, entering into and carrying out this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby (including, without limitation, costs, fees and disbursements of counsel, financial advisors and accountants). Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that the Closing shall occur, (a) all costs, fees and expenses incurred by the Company and/or the Sellers in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including, without limitation, financial advisory fees) listed on the Referenced Payment Report shall be paid by reduction to the Purchase Price as provided pursuant to Section 2.3(a) above, and (b) all other costs, fees and expenses of the Company and/or the Sellers (including, without limitation, fees and disbursements of counsel and accountants) incurred in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement that were not listed on the Referenced Payment Report and deducted in calculating the Closing Payment on the Closing Date, shall be paid by the Company and shall be subject to indemnification in accordance with the provisions of Article VII.

Such communications must be sent to the respective parties at the following addresses (or at such other address for a party as shall be specified in a notice given in accordance with this Section 9.2):

55


        Section 9.3    Interpretation.    For purposes of this Agreement: (a) the words "include," "includes" and "including" shall be deemed to be followed by the words "without limitation;" (b) the word "or" is not exclusive; and (c) the words "herein," "hereof," "hereby," "hereto" and "hereunder" refer to this Agreement as a whole. Unless the context otherwise requires, references herein: (i) to Articles, Sections, Disclosure Schedules and Exhibits mean the Articles and Sections of, and Disclosure Schedules and Exhibits attached to, this Agreement; (ii) to an agreement, instrument or other document means such agreement, instrument or other document as amended, supplemented and modified from time to time to the extent permitted by the provisions thereof; and (iii) to a statute means such statute as amended from time to time and includes any successor legislation thereto and any regulations promulgated thereunder. This Agreement shall be construed without regard to any presumption or rule requiring construction or interpretation against the party drafting an instrument or causing any instrument to be drafted. The Disclosure Schedules and Exhibits referred to herein shall be construed with, and as an integral part of, this Agreement to the same extent as if they were set forth verbatim herein.

56


        Section 9.4    Headings.    The headings in this Agreement are for reference only and shall not affect the interpretation of this Agreement.

        Section 9.5    Severability.    If any term or provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other term or provision of this Agreement or invalidate or render unenforceable such term or provision in any other jurisdiction.

        Section 9.6    Entire Agreement.    This Agreement (together with the Exhibits, Disclosure Schedules and other Transaction Documents) constitutes the sole and entire agreement of the parties to this Agreement with respect to the subject matter contained herein, and supersede all prior and contemporaneous representations, warranties, understandings and agreements, both written and oral, with respect to such subject matter. In the event of any inconsistency between the statements in the body of this Agreement, the Exhibits and Disclosure Schedules (other than an exception expressly set forth as such in the Disclosure Schedules), the statements in the body of this Agreement will control.

        Section 9.7    Successors and Assigns.    This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. No party may assign its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the other parties, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. No assignment shall relieve the assigning party of any of its obligations hereunder.

        Section 9.8    No Third-Party Beneficiaries.    Except as provided in Section 5.4, Section 5.6 and Article VII, this Agreement is for the sole benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns and nothing herein, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other Person any legal or equitable right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement. Any grant of third-party beneficiary rights hereunder is made expressly subject to the last sentence of Section 9.9 hereof.

        Section 9.9    Amendment and Modification; Consents; Waiver.    This Agreement may only be amended, modified or supplemented by an agreement in writing signed by the Company, the Shareholder Representative and Buyer. Any amendment, modification or supplement to this Agreement shall be binding on all of the parties, including each of the Sellers. No waiver by any party of any of the provisions hereof shall be effective unless explicitly set forth in writing and signed by the party so waiving except that, prior to the Closing, the Company or the Shareholder Representative may grant a waiver on behalf of all of the Sellers and, following a Closing, the Shareholder Representative may grant a waiver on behalf of all of the Sellers. No waiver by any party shall operate or be construed as a waiver in respect of any failure, breach or default not expressly identified by such written waiver, whether of a similar or different character, and whether occurring before or after that waiver. No failure to exercise, or delay in exercising, any right, remedy, power or privilege arising from this Agreement shall operate or be construed as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. Whenever this Agreement requires or permits consent by or on behalf of any party hereto, such consent shall be given in writing in a manner consistent with the requirements for a waiver of compliance as set forth above in this Section 9.9. For purposes of absolute clarity, the parties agree that no Person not a party hereto (but, instead, merely listed as a third-party beneficiary hereof) shall have any right to be consulted or notified in connection with any amendment, modification, supplement, waiver or consent contemplated hereby.

57


        Section 9.10    Governing Law; Mediation; Submission to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial.    

58


        Section 9.11    Specific Performance.    Except as otherwise expressly provided, all rights and remedies of each of the parties under this Agreement will be cumulative, and the exercise of one or more rights or remedies will not preclude the exercise of any other right or remedy available under this Agreement, Applicable Law or otherwise. Without limiting the foregoing, the parties acknowledge that irreparable damages would occur if any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed, or threatened not to be performed, by any party hereto in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached and that money damages or other legal remedies would not be adequate for any such damages. It is accordingly agreed that each of the parties hereto shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, it is expressly agreed that the Company and the Sellers (acting through the Shareholder Representative) shall be entitled to specific performance of the Closing, Buyer's obligation to cause the transactions contemplated hereby to be fully and timely funded, and the other actions and transactions of Buyer contemplated hereby. The parties hereto further agree that no party shall be required to obtain, furnish or post any bond or similar instrument in connection with or as a condition to obtaining any remedy referenced in this Section 9.11, and the parties waive any objection to the imposition of such relief or any right it may have to require the obtaining, furnishing or posting of any such bond or similar instrument; provided, however, to the extent any such bond or similar instrument is required by Applicable Law or Governmental Order, the parties expressly agree and intend that a bond or similar instrument in the amount of $100 shall be sufficient and reasonable.

        Section 9.12    Counterparts.    This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall be deemed to be one and the same agreement. A signed copy of this Agreement delivered by facsimile or e-mail shall be deemed to have the same legal effect as delivery of an original signed copy of this Agreement.

        Section 9.13    Shareholder Representative.    

59


60


        Section 9.14    Conflicts.    Each of the parties hereto acknowledges and agrees, on its own behalf and on behalf of its Representatives and Affiliates, that the Company is the client of Andrews Kurth LLP and J. David Washburn (collectively, "AK LLP"). After the Closing, it is possible that AK LLP will represent one or more of the Sellers, the Shareholder Representative and/or their respective Representatives and Affiliates (individually and collectively, the "Seller Group") in connection with a variety of matters,

61


including matters adverse or potentially adverse to the interests of Buyer and/or the Company. Each of the parties to this Agreement hereby agrees that AK LLP (or any successor) may serve as counsel to all or a portion of the Seller Group, in connection with any such matter. Each of the parties hereto consents to such representation, and waives any conflict of interest arising therefrom. Each of the parties hereto acknowledges that such consent and waiver is voluntary, that it has been carefully considered, and that the parties have consulted with counsel or have been advised they should do so in connection herewith. Each of the parties further agrees that all communications or privileged materials between AK LLP, on the one hand, and the Company (or any Company Representative) or a Seller, on the other hand, prior to the Closing (together with any other legally protected or privileged communications or materials including those between members of the Seller Group) (collectively, "Privileged Materials") are the property of the Sellers (as a group) and that Buyer and the Company cannot obtain copies of, or access to, any such Privileged Materials without a waiver from the Shareholder Representative. Each of the parties expressly agrees that, at and after the Closing (and continuing indefinitely thereafter), any privilege related to any of the Privileged Materials shall be solely controlled by the Sellers acting collectively through the Shareholder Representative. Buyer further agrees that it will not and that it will not permit the Company to seek to obtain any such Privileged Materials, including by way of review of any electronic communications or documents or by seeking to have the Sellers and/or the Shareholder Representative waive the attorney-client or other privilege, or by otherwise asserting that Buyer (or the Company) has the right to waive the attorney-client or other privilege. In the event that Buyer or the Company is required by Governmental Order or otherwise to access or obtain a copy of such Privileged Materials, Buyer shall immediately (and, in any event, within two (2) Business Days) notify the Shareholder Representative in writing (including by making specific reference to this Section) so that the Shareholder Representative can seek a protective order and Buyer agrees to use all commercially reasonable efforts to assist therewith.

Kratos To Acquire Leading Composite Manufacturer and Aerial Target Systems Provider
Composite Engineering, Inc.

Transaction Expected To Be Delevering, Accretive and
Increase Kratos' Free Cash Flow

        San Diego, May 8, 2012—Kratos Defense & Security Solutions, Inc. (Nasdaq: KTOS), a leading National Security Solutions provider, announced today that it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire 100 percent of the stock of Composite Engineering, Inc. (CEI or the Company), a vertically integrated manufacturer and developer of unmanned aerial target systems and composite structures used for National Security programs. Kratos currently provides electronics and avionics that are on board CEI aircraft and Kratos also provides ground flight control stations and electronics for the command and control of CEI aerial systems. CEI aircraft are made from composite materials in a secure, state-of-the-art manufacturing facility and as a result have industry leading flight and representation characteristics. CEI's market leading drones are designed to replicate some of the most lethal aerial threats facing this nation's Warfighters and strategic assets. CEI domestic programs as a prime contractor include the U.S. Air Force AFSAT, U.S. Navy SSAT and as a Major sub-contractor include the U.S. Air Force Miniature Air Launched Decoy (MALD) and the U.S. Navy Multi-Stage Supersonic Target (MSST). The CEI suite of unmanned drones includes the BQM-167A/I, the BQM-177A/I and the Firejet. They are all jet engine powered, have advanced threat representative flight performance characteristics, including subsonic and sustained supersonic airspeed capability for the BQM-177A/i, external and internal payload capability and demonstrated altitudes from sea skimming to 50,000 ft.

        In calendar 2011, CEI generated revenue of $94 million and adjusted EBITDA of approximately $16 million, generating an annual organic growth rate in excess of 25 percent over 2010. CEI's primary customers are the United States Air Force, the United States Navy, other National Security related organizations and certain International National Security related agencies. The vast majority of CEI's contracts are sole source in nature, and CEI has developed critical intellectual property for its aircraft which provide significant barriers to entry into CEI markets. As a result of CEI's advanced composite aircraft and products having performance characteristics exceeding that of its competitors as related to current threat environment requirements, CEI's contract win rate is industry leading in competitive procurements. The largest current CEI disclosable contracts are currently in full rate production, which is expected to continue for several years into the future, with a number of additional recent contract awards scheduled to achieve full rate production over the next two years. CEI's current backlog is approximately $160 million, with a qualified bid pipeline in excess of $1 billion. CEI's expected future organic growth rate is expected to be at least 20 percent.

        Eric DeMarco, Kratos' President and CEO, said, "CEI is clearly a world leader in the design, engineering, development, manufacturing and production of leading edge unmanned aerial targets and airframe structures. Similar to the Kratos Aegis Readiness Assessment Vehicles, or ARAVs, certain of CEI's products are also designed to replicate some of the most advanced aerial threats and potential adversary fighter aircraft in the world today, including next generation threats. Additionally, certain


CEI products and aerial systems support leading edge electronic warfare programs, another area where Kratos is particularly well positioned."

        Amy Fournier, President of CEI, said, "Today is a defining step in CEI's journey to build the premier aerial targets and aerial drone company in the world. CEI has experienced phenomenal growth over the past few years and the future is bright, which is one of the reasons we elected to take a meaningful portion of the transaction proceeds in Kratos common stock. We are committed to the success of the combined business and look forward to being a part of its future growth."

        Mike Fournier, Executive Vice President of CEI, added, "There are significant strategic advantages to combining our two outstanding and uniquely positioned businesses. That is the key reason why I approached Eric and Kratos last year regarding the possibility of merging our two companies. Kratos is well positioned to capitalize on our Target's complete Operational Flight Envelope both domestically and internationally. With this transaction, we expect to accelerate our rapid prototyping and development of new vehicles with ever evolving electronic payloads, advanced avionics and satellite communications capabilities, all of which Kratos brings to the combined organization. Kratos is a great fit for the CEI organization, with similar entrepreneurial cultures, synergistic opportunities and with Kratos having access to capital markets and banking relationships needed for CEI to advance to the next level in the unmanned aerial drone and target market place."

        Richard Selvaggio, President of Kratos' Weapons Systems Solutions business said, "The Kratos organization, a number of Kratos executives and I have teamed with the CEI team and their unmanned targets for a number of years, and we are intimately familiar with CEI's products, personnel, capabilities and customer set. It is a natural progression in our relationship. From an organizational, operational, capabilities and business development potential standpoint, there could not be a better fit for two organizations and businesses than between Kratos and CEI. Together, CEI and Kratos will have unmatched capabilities and performance qualifications to address an even larger number of customers, aerial drone and targets requirements, both domestically and internationally."

        The purchase consideration to be paid by Kratos for CEI is $135 million in cash and $20 million in Kratos' stock, or $155 million. Additionally, the transaction is expected to be structured as a 338(h) (10) for income tax purposes, which will result in Kratos receiving approximately $130 million in federal and California state income tax deductions over a 15-year period. This tax structure and resulting income tax deductions will substantially reduce the cash paid for income taxes on CEI's taxable income and significantly increase CEI's Free Cash Flow generation for the foreseeable future. CEI personnel, including Mike Fournier have entered into long term employment agreements with Kratos. Accordingly, $10 million of Kratos restricted stock units will cliff vest in four years to certain members of the CEI management team, serving as an inducement to them to continue employment with Kratos after the acquisition and as a long term retention incentive. Sagent Advisors, based in New York, NY, served as the exclusive financial advisor in the transaction for Kratos. Janes Capital Partners, based in Irvine, CA, served as the exclusive financial advisor in the transaction for CEI.

        Mr. DeMarco concluded, "The possibility for Kratos to acquire this incredibly unique and scarce business and outstanding team is an opportunity that Kratos has to take advantage of, especially considering that CEI has positioned the business with significant competitive barriers in a key National Security area that is expected to continue to see very strong growth prospects. Additionally, as we also announced today, Oak Investment Partners, a current Kratos shareholder, intends to invest $55 million in cash for Kratos' common stock to help facilitate this transaction for a long term investment. Accordingly, we envision that the acquisition of CEI will not only bring to Kratos leading aerial targets growth and reinforce our Prime Contractor status and capabilities, it will also be accretive to Kratos' EBITDA margins and organic growth profile, will increase Kratos' Free Cash Flow in future years and will substantially accelerate Kratos' develering from the end of this year going forward. With CEI, we continue to execute our strategy to be a leading high technology products based National Security business, focused predominantly on the mission critical areas of unmanned systems, cyber security, electronic warfare, satellite communications and C5ISR."


        Management will discuss the transaction and CEI's product offerings in a conference call and simultaneous webcast beginning at 9:00 a.m. Pacific (noon Eastern) on Wednesday, May 9, 2012. Further information relative to the call will be forthcoming.

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

        We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

        In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Composite Engineering, Inc. as of December 31, 2011 and January 1, 2011, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2011, January 1, 2011 and December 26, 2009 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1—SUMMARY OF SIGNIFCANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

        Nature of Operations—The Company is headquartered in Roseville, California with manufacturing facilities located in Sacramento, California. In business since 1984, the Company specializes in the design, development, manufacturing and support of high performance aerial targets around the world. The Company is the sole provider of subsonic aerial targets to the United States Air Force (USAF) under long-term contracts. In addition to the provision of targets and target related hardware, the Company is experienced in the training and "stand-up" of organic operational capabilities with United States Department of Defense and foreign customers alike. The Company's product portfolio includes a suite of targets which cover a wide range of performance ranges from low subsonic to supersonic.

        The Company is vertically integrated. In addition to being the design authority for the systems provided, the Company builds all of its own tooling, manufactures the entire airframe, accomplishes all assembly work and builds in house over 90% of the Ground Support Equipment required. This gives the Company substantial control over both the quality and scheduling aspects of program execution.

        Cash and Cash Equivalents—The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

        Concentration of Credit Risk—The Company maintains cash balances that at times exceed federally insured amounts.

        Four customers represent approximately 68% of the billed contracts receivable balance as of December 31, 2011, and two customers represent approximately 87% of the billed contracts receivable balance at January 1, 2011. Three customers represent approximately 95% of the unbilled contracts receivable balance as of December 31, 2011, and two customers represent 100% of the unbilled contracts receivable balance as of January 1, 2011. Revenue from three of the Company's customers accounted for approximately 83%, 85% and 75% of contract revenues earned for the years ended December 31, 2011, January 1, 2011 and December 26, 2009, respectively. These three customers are either US Government entities or contractors to the US Government.

        Billed Contracts Receivable—Billed contracts receivable are carried at the original invoice amount and are written off to expense in the period in which they are determined to be uncollectible. Management determines the uncollectability of accounts by regularly evaluating individual customer receivables and considering a customer's financial condition, credit history, and current economic conditions. Recoveries of receivables previously written off are recorded as income when received. Management's evaluation resulted in no allowance for doubtful accounts as of December 31, 2011 and January 1, 2011.

        Inventory—Inventories, other than inventoried costs relating to long-term contracts and programs, are stated at the lower of cost (determined on the first-in, first-out method) or market. The Company maintains a valuation allowance to reduce inventory to the net realizable value. At December 31, 2011 and January 1, 2011, the allowance was approximately $652,000 and $584,500, respectively.

        Inventoried costs relating to long-term contracts and programs are stated at the actual production cost, including factory overhead, initial tooling and other related non-recurring costs. Inventoried costs relating to long-term contracts and programs are reduced by charging amounts relieved from inventory to cost of contract revenues when the Company starts the target assembly process and the inventory item is released to the production floor.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

NOTE 1—SUMMARY OF SIGNIFCANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

        Property and Equipment—Property and equipment purchased by the Company are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. All costs associated with major improvements are capitalized, and repairs and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred. The cost and accumulated depreciation of items sold or retired are removed from the accounts. Any resulting gain or loss will be recognized in the current period. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the asset.

        The estimated useful lives used for calculating depreciation and amortization for equipment and leasehold improvements are as follows:

 
  Lives  
Machinery     5 - 7 Years  
Automotive equipment     5 Years  
Office equipment     3 - 7 Years  
Leasehold improvements     1 - 20 Years  
Equipment held under capital leases     3 - 5 Years  

        Long-Lived Assets—Long-lived assets consist primarily of property, equipment, and leasehold improvements, which are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to the future net undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset (before interest). If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amounts of the assets exceed the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount of fair value less cost to sell. Fair value is based on appraisals or other reasonable methods to estimate fair value. Management of the Company believes that no impairment exists for long-lived assets at December 31, 2011 and January 1, 2011.

        Revenue Recognition—Contract revenues earned under long-term contracts are recorded under the percentage-of-completion method. Costs and estimated gross margins are recorded as contract revenues earned as work is performed based on the percentage that incurred costs bear to estimated total costs utilizing the most recent estimates of costs and funding. Cost estimates include costs such as labor, material, and overhead. Some contracts contain incentive provisions based upon performance in relation to established targets which are recognized in the contract estimates when deemed realizable. Contract change orders and claims are included in contract revenues earned when they can be reliably estimated and realization is probable. Since many contracts extend over a long period of time, revisions in cost and funding estimates during the progress of work have the effect of adjusting earnings applicable to performance in prior periods in the current period. When the current contract estimate indicates a loss, a provision is made for the total anticipated loss in the current period.

        The asset, "Unbilled contracts receivable," represents revenues recognized in excess of amounts billed on long-term contracts in progress. The liability "Unearned income" represents billings in excess of revenues recognized on long-term contracts in progress.

        The estimated contract value of performance under Government fixed-price contracts in process is recognized under the percentage of completion method of accounting where the estimated contract revenue earned is determined on the basis of completion to date (the total contract amount multiplied

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

NOTE 1—SUMMARY OF SIGNIFCANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

by percent of performance to date less contract revenues earned recognized in previous periods) and costs (including general and administrative, except as described below) are expensed as incurred.

        Contract revenues earned under cost-reimbursement contracts are recorded as costs are incurred and include estimated earned fees in the proportion that costs incurred to date bear to total estimated costs. The fees under certain Government contracts may be increased or decreased in accordance with cost or performance incentive provisions which measure actual performance against established targets or other criteria. Such fee adjustments are included in contract revenues earned at the time the amounts can be determined reasonably.

        Warranty Reserve—Included in accrued expenses is $935,440 and $952,156 of accrued warranty costs at December 31, 2011 and January 1, 2011, respectively. This represents estimated costs associated with product warranties in conjunction with certain contracts. These costs are expensed as incurred. Contracts are generally covered by a twelve month, but may extend to a thirty-six month, warranty period and cover systems, accessories, equipment, parts, and software manufactured by the Company to certain contractual specifications. Warranties cover factors such as non-conformance to specification and defects in material and workmanship.

        Income Taxes—The Company elected S-Corporation status for both federal and state purposes. Under S-Corporation tax provisions, the Company does not pay federal corporate income taxes on its taxable income. Instead, the stockholders are liable for individual federal and state income taxes on their respective shares of the Company's taxable income. There is a 1.5% tax imposed on net income for California state taxes on an S-Corporation. The provision for this tax is included in other expense.

        The Company elected to become an S-corporation effective July 1, 2002. As an S-corporation, the Company is subject to a "built-in gains" tax based on the sale of certain Company assets when the fair market value of the assets exceeded the tax basis at the date the Company elected S-corporation status. The tax is imposed on the Company's built-in gain at July 1, 2002 on assets that are disposed of within the ten-year period beginning on the first day of the Company's first "S" tax year. The Company has estimated the potential maximum built-in gain tax exposure to be approximately $2,400,000. This has not been recorded on the Company's financial statements. Any tax on the gain will be recorded if disposition of any of the applicable assets occur prior to July 1, 2012.

        The Company has adopted accounting guidance relating to accounting for uncertain tax positions. The accounting guidance prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement process for accounting for uncertain tax positions and also provides guidance on various matters such as derecognition, interest, penalties, and disclosure requirements. The Company does not have any entity level uncertain tax positions.

        The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and California. The Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal or state and local income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2007.

        Research and Development—Research and development costs are charged to general and administrative expense when incurred. The amount charged for the years ended December 31, 2011, January 1, 2011 and December 26, 2009 amounted to $3,088,006, $2,333,614 and $7,054,103, respectively.

NOTE 1—SUMMARY OF SIGNIFCANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

        Fiscal Year End—The Company operates on a 52/53-week fiscal year ending on the Saturday closest to December 31, 2011. The fiscal years ended December 31, 2011 and December 26, 2009 include 52 weeks. The fiscal year ended January 1, 2011 includes 53 weeks.

        Accounting Estimates—The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles 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 reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

        Subsequent Events—Subsequent events are events or transactions that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are available to be issued. The Company recognizes in the financial statements the effects of all subsequent events that provide additional evidence about conditions that existed at the date of the balance sheet, including the estimates inherent in the process of preparing the financial statements. The Company's financial statements do not recognize subsequent events that provide evidence about conditions that did not exist at the date of the balance sheet but arose after the balance sheet date and before financial statements are available to be issued. The Company has evaluated subsequent events through March 19, 2012, which is the date the financial statements were available to be issued as approved by management.

For the years ended December 31, 2011, January 1, 2011 and December 26, 2009, employer contributions to the plan amounted to $436,398, $350,912 and $332,305 and are included in cost of contract revenues earned and general and administrative expenses.

NOTE 9—ACCRUED CONTRACT REVENUE REFUNDS

        In accordance with its contracts with the United States Department of Defense, the Company is subject to periodic audits by the U.S. Defense Contract Audit Agency ("DCAA"). In the ordinary course of business, the DCAA conducted an audit. In 2011, they issued a report which concluded that costs associated with a proposed effort on a specific prior year contract item had been overestimated by the Company and subsequently, the Government seeks reimbursement of approximately $1,581,000. The Company has reviewed the DCAA audit findings and believes that approximately $138,000 of the questioned costs was estimated properly, while the remaining $1,443,000 may be reimbursed to the Government. At December 31, 2011, the Company has accrued a liability for anticipated refunds for $1,443,096. The Company recorded the associated reimbursed costs as accrued contract revenue refunds in other expense on the statement of income for the year ended December 31, 2011.

CONDENSED NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

NOTE 1—SUMMARY OF SIGNIFCANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

        Basis of Presentation—The information as of March 31, 2012 and for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and March 31, 2011 is unaudited. In the opinion of management, these unaudited condensed financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the Company's financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim period presented. The results have been prepared in accordance with the requirement of Regulation S-X and do not necessarily include all information and footnotes necessary for presentation in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. ("GAAP"). The unaudited condensed balance sheet at December 31, 2011 has been derived from the audited balance sheet at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. These unaudited condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the related notes included in the Company's audited annual financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011. Interim operating results are not necessarily indicative of operating results expected in subsequent periods or for the year as a whole.

        Cash and Cash Equivalents—The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

        Concentration of Credit Risk—The Company maintains cash balances that at times exceed federally insured amounts.

        Five customers represent approximately 97% of the billed contracts receivable balance as of March 31, 2012. One customer represents approximately 87% of the unbilled contracts receivable balance as of March 31, 2012. Revenue from three of the Company's customers accounted for approximately 81% of contract revenues earned for the period ended March 31, 2012. These customers are either US Government entities or contractors to the US Government.

        Billed Contracts Receivable—Billed contracts receivable are carried at the original invoice amount and are written off to expense in the period in which they are determined to be uncollectible. Management determines the uncollectability of accounts by regularly evaluating individual customer receivables and considering a customer's financial condition, credit history, and current economic conditions. Recoveries of receivables previously written off are recorded as income when received. Management's evaluation resulted in no allowance for doubtful accounts as of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011.

        Inventory—Inventories, other than inventoried costs relating to long-term contracts and programs, are stated at the lower of cost (determined on the first-in, first-out method) or market.

        Inventoried costs relating to long-term contracts and programs are stated at the actual production cost, including factory overhead, initial tooling, and other related non-recurring costs. Inventoried costs relating to long-term contracts and programs are reduced by charging amounts relieved from inventory to cost of contract revenues when the Company starts the target assembly process and the inventory item is released to the production floor.

        Revenue Recognition—Contract revenues earned under long-term contracts are recorded under the percentage-of-completion method. Costs and estimated gross margins are recorded as contract revenues earned as work is performed based on the percentage that incurred costs bear to estimated total costs utilizing the most recent estimates of costs and funding. Cost estimates include costs such as labor, material, and overhead. Some contracts contain incentive provisions based upon performance in

CONDENSED NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) (Continued)

NOTE 1—SUMMARY OF SIGNIFCANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

relation to established targets, which are recognized in the contract estimates when deemed realizable. Contract change orders and claims are included in contract revenues earned when they can be reliably estimated and realization is probable. Since many contracts extend over a long period of time, revisions in cost and funding estimates during the progress of work have the effect of adjusting earnings applicable to performance in prior periods in the current period. When the current contract estimate indicates a loss, a provision is made for the total anticipated loss in the current period.

        The asset "Unbilled contracts receivable" represents revenues recognized in excess of amounts billed on long-term contracts in progress. The liability "Unearned income" represents billings in excess of revenues recognized on long-term contracts in progress.

        The estimated contract value of performance under government fixed-price contracts in process is recognized under the percentage of completion method of accounting where the estimated contract revenue earned is determined on the basis of completion to date (the total contract amount multiplied by percent of performance to date less contract revenues earned recognized in previous periods) and costs (including general and administrative, except as described below) are expensed as incurred.

        Contract revenues earned under cost-reimbursement contracts are recorded as costs are incurred and include estimated earned fees in the proportion that costs incurred to date bear to total estimated costs. The fees under certain government contracts may be increased or decreased in accordance with cost or performance incentive provisions, which measure actual performance against established targets or other criteria. Such fee adjustments are included in contract revenues earned at the time the amounts can be determined reasonably.

        Warranty Reserve—Included in accrued expenses is $833,413 and $935,440 of accrued warranty costs at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. This represents estimated costs associated with product warranties in conjunction with certain contracts. These costs are expensed as incurred. Contracts are generally covered by a 12-month warranty but may extend to a 36-month warranty period and cover systems, accessories, equipment, parts, and software manufactured by the Company to certain contractual specifications. Warranties cover factors such as non-conformance to specification and defects in material and workmanship.

        Income Taxes—The Company elected S-Corporation status for both federal and state purposes. Under S-Corporation tax provisions, the Company does not pay federal corporate income taxes on its taxable income. Instead, the stockholders are liable for individual federal and state income taxes on their respective shares of the Company's taxable income.

        Subsequent Events—Subsequent events are events or transactions that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are available to be issued. The Company recognizes in the financial statements the effects of all subsequent events that provide additional evidence about conditions that existed at the date of the balance sheet, including the estimates inherent in the process of preparing the financial statements. The Company's financial statements do not recognize subsequent events that provide evidence about conditions that did not exist at the date of the balance sheet but arose after the balance sheet date and before financial statements are available to be issued. The Company has evaluated subsequent events through May 4, 2012, which is the date the financial statements were available to be issued as approved by management.
