The decline in Revenue was primarily the result of a decline in the revenues from the federal government, principally the Environmental Protection Agency, on account of both the lingering effects of the federal budget sequester and the anticipation of the shutdown of the federal government in October of 2013. As a result, the company experienced delays in the funding of both existing and new projects, as well as a slowing of new contract awards.
