Item 4.02(a) Non-Reliance on Previously Issued Financial Statements or a Related Audit Report or Completed Interim Review.

Management of SAIC, Inc. (Company) has determined that the Company underpaid income taxes by approximately $27 million due to a previously undetected transcription error made in the determination of taxes owed from the March 2006 sale of the Company’s subsidiary, Telcordia Technologies, Inc. (Telcordia). The error resulted in certain misstatements in the Company’s previously issued consolidated financial statements. These misstatements relate to accounting for the sale of Telcordia, which is presented as part of discontinued operations in the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the 2005 fiscal year and for all subsequent quarterly and annual periods. Since it affects only discontinued operations, the error does not impact the Company’s results from continuing operations in fiscal years 2005 through 2008 or in the current 2009 fiscal year. The expected impact of the error on the Company’s results from discontinued operations for the current fiscal year 2009 is that approximately $2 million in interest expense will be reflected in the Company’s results from discontinued operations for interest on the unpaid taxes.

Although the error impacts results from discontinued operations principally for the 2005 fiscal year, it also affects balances in equity, taxes payable and results of discontinued operations in fiscal years 2006 through 2008 and in the Company’s first quarter of fiscal year 2009. Based on management’s recommendation, on August 8, 2008, the Company’s Audit Committee concluded that it is appropriate to restate the consolidated financial statements for fiscal years 2006 through 2008 that are included in the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal year 2008 and to restate the consolidated financial statements for the first quarter of fiscal year 2009 included in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to properly reflect the impacts of the error in the proper periods. Accordingly, the Company’s consolidated financial statements for fiscal years 2006 through 2008 (and the related reports of Deloitte & Touche LLP, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm) and for the first quarter of fiscal year 2009 should no longer be relied upon. The Company expects to complete the restatement of those financial statements and to file them with the Securities and Exchange Commission on amended Forms 10-K and 10-Q in early September 2008 and no later than the date on which the Company files its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the second quarter of fiscal year 2009. These matters have been discussed by management and the Audit Committee with Deloitte & Touche LLP.

In the Company’s consolidated financial statements to be included in the amended Forms 10-K and 10-Q, it is expected that income taxes payable will be increased by approximately $27 million due to the error plus the appropriate amount of interest for each fiscal year from 2006 through 2008 and for the first quarter of fiscal year 2009. In addition, the appropriate amount of interest will be recorded in each subsequent period until the taxes are paid to the Internal Revenue Service and appropriate state taxing authorities. The underpaid income taxes and related interest are expected to be paid in the third or fourth quarter of fiscal year 2009. The error relating to the unpaid income taxes was recently discovered by Company personnel following an inquiry made during a routine Internal Revenue Service audit of the Company’s 2005 and 2006 federal income tax returns. After this discovery, the Company conducted an internal review of the events relating to the error, including interviews of personnel and outside advisers involved at the time, and based on the review believes the error was unintentional in nature. As such, the Company expects that it will not be assessed any penalties in connection with this underpayment of income taxes. The internal review confirmed that the error was not identified by the personnel involved in the calculation of taxes at the time or through internal controls in place at the time when the financial statements were prepared in fiscal year 2005. The error principally involved transcribing incorrect amounts from prior tax returns in the calculation of Telcordia’s tax basis used in the determination of the taxable gain on the sale of Telcordia, resulting in an overstatement of tax basis and underpayment of taxes.

The principal effects of the error and two other corrections related to the calculation of the gain on the sale of Telcordia on the Company’s consolidated financial statements are as follows:

 

   

An overstatement of federal deferred tax assets and an associated understatement of provision for federal income taxes from discontinued operations in the amount of approximately $25 million as of and for the year ended January 31, 2005. The error caused the overstated amount of a federal deferred tax asset to be recorded at January 31, 2005, after an acquisition agreement for the sale of Telcordia had been signed in fiscal year 2005 and before the closing of the sale in fiscal year 2006.


   

An understatement of the provision for state income taxes from discontinued operations in the amount of approximately $2 million for the year ended January 31, 2006. The error caused an understated amount of state tax expense to be recorded for the year ended January 31, 2006, upon completion of the sale of Telcordia in fiscal year 2006.

 

   

An understatement of the provision for income taxes from discontinued operations in the amount of approximately $1 million and $2 million for the years ended January 31, 2007 and 2008, respectively. This impact for fiscal years 2007 and 2008 results from interest owed on the previously unrecorded federal and state tax obligations. The unrecorded interest on these tax obligations for the three months ended April 30, 2008 was nominal.

 

   

Two corrections to the provision for income taxes from discontinued operations to move approximately $3 million from the three months ended April 30, 2008 to the year ended January 31, 2006 and approximately $3 million from the year ended January 31, 2008 to the year ended January 31, 2006, in order to move these previously recognized amounts to the proper periods.

 

   

An overstatement of stockholders’ equity and an understatement of income tax obligations related to the sale of Telcordia of approximately $33 million, $34 million, $33 million and $30 million at January 31, 2006, January 31, 2007, January 31, 2008 and April 30, 2008, respectively. These amounts reflect the cumulative impact of the items noted above, which were caused by the error.

The following tables illustrate the estimated effects of the error and two other corrections related to the calculation of the gain on the sale of Telcordia on the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of and for the years ended January 31, 2006, 2007 and 2008 and as of and for the three months ended April 30, 2008:
