Business Highlights
"We're extremely pleased with the record level of bookings and contract awards this quarter. Clearly, our diversification strategy into the high growth markets we have selected is working," said Jim Regan, DRC's chairman and chief executive officer. "Our mix of prime contracts, at eighty-five percent, is also a strong indicator that the company's focus on winning large agency-wide contract vehicles is meeting with success. While delays in contract awards this quarter have dampened our revenue expectations for 2009, strong bookings in the quarter have strengthened our outlook for 2010. In summary, it has been another solid quarter of execution, our thirteenth consecutive quarter of earnings improvement."

The Company's estimate for revenue for 2009 is in the range of $277 to $280 million. Regarding earnings for 2009 the Company anticipates results to be in the range of $1.00 to $1.02 per diluted share.
