Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Pension Committee of
Systems & Electronics Inc.
Employee Savings Investment Plan

We have audited the accompanying statement of net assets available for benefits of the Systems & Electronics Inc. Employee Savings Investment Plan (the “Plan”) as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the related statement of changes in net assets available for benefits for the years then ended.  These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan’s management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.  We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  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 purposes of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Plan’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.  An audit 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, and 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 aspects, the net assets available for benefits at December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

As described in Note H, the Company has amended the Plan to provide for its termination effective January 30, 2006. During the previous plan year, the Trustees made the decision to terminate the plan. Therefore, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, the Plan has changed its basis of accounting from the ongoing plan basis to the liquidation basis.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

SYSTEMS & ELECTRONICS INC.
EMPLOYEE SAVINGS INVESTMENT PLAN
December 31, 2006 and 2005

NOTE A - DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN

The Systems & Electronics Inc. Employee Savings Investment Plan (the “Plan”) was established October 1, 1999 as a defined contribution plan covering the employees of Systems & Electronics Inc.  On January 31, 2006, DRS Technologies, Inc. (“Company”) became the plan sponsor when they purchased Systems & Electronics Inc.  The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA), as amended.

All employees of Systems & Electronics, Inc. (“SEI”) are eligible to participate in the Plan on the date he or she commences employment with SEI.  Plan participants are eligible to receive benefits commencing at age 59 ½ or upon the date the participant terminates employment with the Company and every member of the controlled group.  Distributions under the Plan will be made as soon as administratively possible after retirement or termination.

Participants may elect to contribute up to 50 percent of their annual compensation (not to exceed limits established by the Internal Revenue Service) each Plan year as “pre-tax contributions”.  There are no employer contributions to the Plan.  Participant contributions are fully and immediately vested at all times.

The Plan was closed to new Participants as of December 31, 2004.  No employee will become a participant after that date.  Employees participating in the Plan on December 31, 2004 will be eligible to continue to make contributions.

Plan participants are permitted to borrow from their accounts.  Participants may borrow a minimum of $1,000 up to a maximum of 50 percent of their vested balance, not to exceed $50,000 (less the highest outstanding loan balance for the one-year period ending on the day before a new loan is made minus the outstanding balance of existing loans to the participant on the date of the new loan).  Both the principal and interest are repaid via payroll deductions.  The interest rate for the only outstanding loan as of December 31, 2006 was for 7.75%.  The final installment is due for the loan on December 11, 2007.

Upon death, termination of service, or attainment of age 70 ½, a participant may elect to receive either a lump-sum amount equal to the value of the participant’s vested interest in his or her account, a single annuity, the purchase of a joint and survivorship annuity with various survivor options, or a series of installment payments.

Each participant’s account is credited with the participant’s contributions and an allocation of Plan earnings.  The allocation of earnings is determined by the earnings of the participant’s investment selection based on each participant’s account balance, as defined in the Plan agreement.  The benefit to which a participant is entitled is the benefit that can be provided from the participant’s account.

The Pension Committee, appointed by the Company, serves as the Plan administrator, and the Company pays all administrative expenses of the Plan, except for a nominal holding fee charged to each participant’s account.  In 2006, the Plan incurred $1,188 in trustee fees or other administrative expenses.  In 2005, the Plan incurred $19,961 in trustee fees or other administrative expenses.

Information about the Plan, including provisions for vesting, allocation of earnings, withdrawal provisions and the impact of Plan termination is contained in the Plan document and Summary Plan Description.  Copies of the Summary Plan Description are available from the Company.

NOTE B – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Certain 2005 figures have been reclassified, where appropriate, to conform to the financial statement presentation used in 2006.

The financial statements of the Systems & Electronics Inc. Employee Savings Investment Plan are presented on the liquidation basis of accounting, except that benefits due to participants are recorded as a reduction in net assets available for Plan benefits when paid.

Investments in registered investment companies, including the EuroPacific Growth Fund, the Alliance Bernstein Growth & Income Fund-Class A, the Janus Twenty Fund, the Jennison Growth Fund-Class Z, the Jennison US Emerging Growth Fund-Class Z, Vanguard Morgan Growth (Admiral Class), Vanguard Total Stock Market (Admiral Class), Vanguard Windsor (Admiral Class) , Vanguard Institutional Index (Institutional Class), American Funds Balanced Fund-Class A, Vanguard 500 Index-Class A, Lord Abbett Small Cap Blend-Class A, PIMCO Total Return-Class A and Vanguard International Growth Fund, are stated at the fair value of the underlying portfolio of securities as of December 31, 2006, as determined by the respective manager.  Investments in the Guaranteed Investment Contract are stated at fair value, which approximates contract value (principal plus accrued interest) as of December 31, 2006 as determined by the respective manager.

As described in Financial Accounting Standards Board Staff Position, FSP AAG INV-1 and SOP 94-4-1, Reporting of Fully Benefit-Responsive Investment Contracts Held by Certain Investment Companies Subject to the AICPA Investment Company Guide and Defined-Contribution Health and Welfare and Pension Plans (the FSP), investment contracts held by a defined-contribution plan are required to be reported at fair value.  However, contract value is the relevant measurement attribute for that portion of the net assets available for benefits of a defined-contribution plan attributable to fully benefit-responsive investment contracts because contract value is the amount participants would receive if they were to initiate permitted transactions under the terms of the plan.  As required by the FSP, the Statement of Net Assets Available for Benefits presents the fair value of the Guaranteed Investment Contract, which is a fully benefit-responsive investment contract.  Since the fair value of this contract also approximates its contract value, the Statement of Changes in Net Assets Available for Benefits does not require a separate adjustment for reporting the Plan net assets on a contract value basis.  The Statement of Changes in Net Assets Available for Benefits is prepared on a contract value basis.

Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis.  Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date.  Net realized appreciation or depreciation on security transactions represent the difference between proceeds received and cost.  The Plan presents in the Statement of Changes in Net Assets Available for Plan Benefits the net appreciation (depreciation) in the fair value of its investments, which consists of the realized gains or losses and the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on those investments.

Investments are exposed to various risks, such as interest rate, market and credit risk.  Due to the level of risk associated with certain investments and the level of uncertainty related to changes in the value of investments, it is at least reasonably possible that changes in risks in the near-term could materially affect the amounts reported in the Statement of Net Assets Available for Plan Benefits.

Participant loans are valued at their outstanding principal amount.  These notes bear interest at a rate equal to the prime interest rate as of the effective date of the loan plus one percentage point.

Administrative expenses of the Plan are paid by the Participants.

The preparation of these financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of net assets and changes in net assets during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from these estimates.

The Company has established a Pension Committee to oversee the activities of the Plan and has appointed the Vice President of Finance as the Plan Administrator.  Prudential Insurance Company of America (“Prudential”) is the Trustee for the Plan and the Plan recordkeeper.  Prior to May 2, 2005, Vanguard Fiduciary Trust Company (“VFTC”) was the Trustee for the Plan and Plan recordkeeper.  During 2006, the Plan’s investments (including investments bought, sold, and held during the year) appreciated in value as follows:

NOTE DInvestment Contract with Insurance Company

In 2005, the Plan entered into a benefit-responsive investment contract with Prudential Retirement and Annuity Company (“PRIAC”).  PRIAC maintains the contributions in a general account.  The account is credited with earnings on the underlying investments and charged for participant withdrawals and administrative expenses.  The guaranteed investment contract issuer is contractually obligated to repay the principal and a specified interest rate that is guaranteed to the Plan.  The guaranteed investment contract is reflected in the financial statements at fair market value which is equal to contract value.

As described in Note B, because the guaranteed investment contract is fully benefit-responsive, contract value is the relevant measurement attribute for that portion of the net assets available for benefits attributable to the guaranteed investment contract.  Contract value, as reported to the Plan by PRIAC, represents contributions made under the contract, plus earnings, less participant withdrawals and administrative expenses.  Participants may ordinarily direct the withdrawal or transfer of all or a portion of their investment at contract value under all circumstances including the termination of the plan.  There are no instances that would limit the ability of the Plan to transact at contract value with the insurer.

There are no reserves against contract value for credit risk of the contract issuer or otherwise.  The crediting interest rate is based on a formula agreed upon with the issuer, but it may not be less than 1.5 percent.  Such interest rates are reviewed on a quarterly basis for resetting.

The guaranteed investment contract does not permit the insurance company to terminate the agreement prior to the scheduled maturity date.

NOTE E – INCOME TAX STATUS

The Plan received a favorable letter of determination from the Internal Revenue Service dated February 24, 2006 indicating compliance with section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code and tax exemption under the provisions of section 501(a).  As stated in Note G, the Plan also received a favorable determination letter on plan termination dated September 14, 2006.  Therefore, it is the opinion of the Plan Administrator that, as of December 31, 2006, the Plan is in compliance with section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code and is exempt under the provisions of section 501(a).  Thus, provision for a federal income tax is not required in the accompanying financial statements.

NOTE F - RELATED PARTY AND PARTY-IN-INTEREST

Engineered Support Systems, Inc. and the Company, as Plan administrators and sponsors, are related parties to the Plan. At December 31, 2006, the Plan did not hold any Engineered Support Systems, Inc. common stock. At December 31, 2005, the Plan held shares of Engineered Support Systems, Inc. common stock with a market value of $107,272.  For the year ended December 31, 2006, the Plan purchased $32,217 and sold or transferred $29,869 of Company common stock. The Plan also purchased $2,577 and sold $113,684 of Engineered Support Systems, Inc. common stock.

Certain Plan investments are shares of mutual funds managed by an affiliate of VFTC and by Prudential.  Prudential is and VFTC was, a Trustee as defined by the Plan and, therefore, the transactions resulting in these balances are exempt party-in-interest transactions under Section 408(b)(8) of ERISA and the regulations promulgated thereunder.

NOTE G –SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

The Plan applied for and received a favorable determination letter on plan termination from the IRS dated September 14, 2006.  The Plan has subsequently distributed the remaining assets to participants as of January 19, 2007.

NOTE H – PLAN TERMINATION

The Company has exercised its right under the Plan to discontinue employee contributions as of February 1, 2006, pursuant to the Plan termination and subject to the provisions of ERISA.

NOTE I – CHANGES TO THE PLAN

On January 31, 2006 DRS Technologies, Inc. acquired all of the outstanding shares of Engineered Support Systems, Inc., the Plan’s then Sponsor. All of the Plan’s shares of Engineered Support Systems, Inc. common stock were exchanged for a combination of DRS Technologies, Inc. common stock and cash as determined by the merger agreement.

Report of Independent Registered Public
Accounting Firm on Supplementary Information

Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole.  The supplemental schedule of assets held at end of year is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial statements, but is supplementary information required by the Department of Labor’s Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Income Security Act of 1974.  This supplemental schedule is the responsibility of the Plan’s management.  The supplemental schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.
