Recently an industry and government study found that IT spending is expected to grow to $72.6 billion by the end of the decade from $59 billion in President Bush's 2005 IT budget request. This fact, coupled with the ever increasing concern about securing networks and physical infrastructure and storing the vast amounts of critical data, leads us to believe that the growth estimates may be conservative."

Financial Position

GTSI's effort to comply with SOX 404 is expected to have a material negative effect on 2004 and 2005 results.

Reported gross margin was $46.7 million in the third quarter 2004 versus $27.5 million a year ago. This represents an increase in gross margin percentage from 10.1% in the third quarter of 2003 to 14.1% in the third quarter of 2004. Without the accrued liability reversal, gross margin for the third quarter 2004 would have been $36.6 million, a gross margin percentage of 11.1%.
