    ANDOVER, Mass., April 30 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ — Dynamics Research
    Corporation (Nasdaq: DRCO), a leading provider of innovative engineering,
    technical and information technology services and solutions to federal and
    state governments, today announced operating results for the first quarter
    ended March 31, 2008.

    Financial Results

    The Company reported revenue of $56.5 million for the first quarter of
    2008, compared with $56.8 million for the same period in 2007. The reported
    net loss for the quarter of $5.3 million, or $0.56 per diluted share included
    an $8.8 million provision for litigation, which reduced diluted earnings per
    share by $0.71. Excluding the litigation provision, net income was $1.4
    million, or $0.15 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2008 compared
    with $1.1 million, or $0.12 per diluted share for the first quarter of 2007.

    Business Highlights

    “From an operating viewpoint we’re off to a great start in 2008. For the
    first quarter our book-to-bill ratio was 1.16-to-one, new business awards
    totaled $47 million, revenues exceeded our expectations, indirect costs
    continue to be well in control, and earnings, excluding the litigation
    provision, were up twenty-five percent over the first quarter a year ago,”
    said Jim Regan, DRC’s chairman and chief executive officer. “In the first
    quarter we won and started work on a new $25 million state child welfare
    system project, and we were one of 22 companies to receive an award under the
    $5 billion TEAMS contract, designed to enable the military health systems
    community to procure services in managing health care costs. This contract
    adds to our extensive and diverse portfolio of agency specific multiple award
    schedule task order contracts. Federal customers are increasingly turning to
    these vehicles to procure services. The array of these contracts held by DRC
    provides us with direct access to customers seeking our solutions and
    services.”

    Regarding the legal developments, which were discussed in the Company’s
    April 1, 2008 press release, Mr. Regan added, “I am encouraged that the legal
    proceedings on the U.S. Attorney’s civil claims filed in 2003, related to
    activities of two rogue employees which occurred a decade ago and in which the
    Company had no direct involvement or knowledge of, appear to be nearing
    closure. We have earnestly attempted to settle this matter in the past and
    are hopeful that a final resolution can now be achieved.”

    Company Guidance

    The Company estimate for revenues for the calendar year 2008 is unchanged,
    in the range of $220 to $235 million. Regarding earnings for the calendar
    year, excluding the $0.71 litigation provision taken in the first quarter, the
    Company anticipates results to be in the range of $0.70 to $0.80 per diluted
    share. For the second quarter of 2008 the Company anticipates revenues in the
    range of $55 to $57 million and earnings per diluted share of $0.16 to $0.18.

    The Company will conduct a first quarter 2008 conference call on Thursday,
    May 1, 2008 at 10:00 a.m. ET. The call will be available via telephone at
