Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On June 6, 2006 The Wornick Company, a Delaware Corporation, (“Wornick”) entered into a series of agreements with Advocacy and Resources Corporation, a Tennessee Not-For-Profit Corporation, (“AARC”) and it’s affiliate ARC Diversified, Inc. also a Tennessee Not-For-Profit Corporation, (“ARCDI” and collectively “AARC”). In the agreement, AARC agreed to transfer its rights and obligations under their existing UGR-A contract # SPM300-04-D-Z215 with the Defense Supply Center Philadelphia, (“DSCP”) and in exchange for these rights, Wornick has executed an exclusive service agreement with AARC in which AARC will provide UGR-A assembly services to Wornick based on a fixed fee basis. These agreements are subject to pending approval by the DSCP.

The original UGR-A contract awarded to AARC on July 19, 2004 will expire in fiscal 2012 and our agreements are subject to final approval and novation by DSCP. Upon acceptance by the DSCP, this contract will increase the number of United States military bases awarded to Wornick from fourteen to thirty one and make us the largest provider of UGR-A services within the United States. We anticipate that additional UGR-A CONUS (Continental United States) revenues generated from the addition of this contract to be approximately $3 to $4 million annually.
