1. You state in your response to prior comment 4 that the determination of which components to transfer to New SAIC was based on an assessment of the nature of the work performed and the markets served by each operation. Please provide us with a breakdown of the various discrete business operations that were included in Parent’s Defense Solutions Group; identify which operations were transferred to New SAIC and which remained with Parent and include the revenues and operating income for each. In addition, please describe the nature of the work performed and the markets serviced for each discrete business operation.
The determination of which components of the Defense Solutions Group to transfer to New SAIC was based on an assessment of the nature of the work performed by each operation. Those operations providing technical, engineering and enterprise IT services were designated as part of New SAIC. The operations providing development, integration and sustainment solutions were designated to remain part of Parent. In that regard, we are supplementally submitting the information requested by the Staff for the various discrete business operations that were included in Parent’s Defense Solutions Group being transferred to New SAIC and those remaining with Parent.
As more fully described in the Registration Statement, New SAIC’s technical and engineering service offerings include maintenance of systems, program support services as well as logistics, training and simulation services. Further, New SAIC’s enterprise IT service offerings include design, management and operations of our customers’ entire IT infrastructure. These service offerings primarily involve the provision of labor and are in contrast to the offerings retained by Parent from Parent’s Defense Solutions Group which consist of development, integration and sustainment solutions that often involve highly customized or proprietary hardware or products in addition to the provision of labor.
