In our 2011 annual report, we wrote that, “we might ultimately come to judge 2011 as a defining moment in the evolution and growth of Atlas Research.” We could not have imagined at the time just how prescient those words would prove to be. The trends that began to take hold that year foreshadowed a 2012 defined by increasing federal budget and market uncertainty and intense price competition that would test the mettle of large and small firms, our partners and competitors alike. But even as the company was buffeted by those downward trends, we began to see returns on our strategies of portfolio diversification and investment in key hires. We finished the year with a flourish of new contract wins, including several high-visibility, multi-year awards that will be key drivers of our sustained corporate growth and the strengthening of the Atlas brand.
