As the Company announced last week, it was verbally advised by its customer to provide support for the immediate development of several modifications to its Remote Control Units (RCU) that are currently under contract. The Company's Orbit Instrument Division is actively working together with its customer and the U.S. Army to provide "out of scope" enhanced solutions that would extend the operational life of the RCU. This new request shifted the delivery date of the RCUs, originally scheduled for the second quarter to a later, yet undetermined date resulting in lower than expected second quarter revenues and profitability. As a result, the Company amended its 2008 guidance last week, since it cannot predict with certainty when its customer or the U.S. Army will complete all RCU operational and environmental testing. The Company can report with certainty that once the "out of scope" testing is completed, its customer and the U.S. Army will require a revised milestone schedule requiring expedited deliveries of all units under contract.

The Company also reported that two of its contracts with deliverable hardware and software, approximating $600,000, that were delayed in the first quarter of 2008 at the customer's request, continue to be held by the Company until further instructions are provided from the customer. Shipment of these units is expected by year end.

Dennis Sunshine, President and Chief Executive Officer stated, "It is unfortunate that several unforeseen enhanced modification requests that were totally beyond our control, have had a significant impact on the delivery of completed units that were available for shipment during the second quarter. We believe shipments will commence as we complete the enhanced modifications and once the customer and the U.S. Army complete their testing. Most importantly, there continues to be great demand for these units and the RCUs will continue to be a significant source of revenue in the foreseeable future for the Orbit Instrument Division."

Sunshine continued, "The Company's backlog of RCUs approximating $2,100,000 at June 30, 2008 are fully assembled, tested and available to ship but will require those enhanced modifications prior to shipment. The Company expects additional purchase orders from its customer totaling approximately $2,600,000 under its previously negotiated Long Term Agreement (LTA) signed in September 2007. The Company is also completing negotiations for a new LTA with its customer that will provide for additional requirements for several RCU configurations, under which shipments would begin in 2009 and continue through 2011. Depending on quantity requirements, the new LTA would represent between approximately $4,500,000 and $9,000,000 of additional revenues for the Company."

Sunshine continued, "We are pleased to report that with the exception of the Orbit Instrument Division, all other operating units were profitable during the quarter. Our Power Group is in the midst of a record year, with bookings for July exceeding $1,000,000 for the third consecutive month and total bookings for 2008 are expected to exceed its record year in 2007. Our Integrated Combat Systems subsidiary continues to bid on a number of new business opportunities and has received many of the contract awards we expected for 2008. Our Tulip subsidiary continues to work on new opportunities in the prototype and pre-production stage but many of the expected production awards have now been rescheduled for shipment in 2009."

Sunshine concluded, "Shipment delays including that which adversely affected our second quarter results, are an industry-wide challenge. We have faced such issues in the past but due to the magnitude of the RCU shipments and the timing of the notification from our customer, the significant decrease in revenues could not be avoided. Despite this delay, demand for the RCU continues to be strong, our fundamental business remains intact, our positive long-term outlook remains unchanged and we are confident we will return to profitability in the second half of 2008 which will continue into 2009."

2008 Guidance

Mitchell Binder, Chief Financial Officer stated, "As we stated in our announcement last week, since we cannot predict with certainty when our customer will complete all RCU operational and environmental testing, and due to possible delay in the receipt of expected contracts for the Orbit Instrument Division and Tulip subsidiary, we amended guidance for 2008. For 2008, we expect net sales of between $29,500,000 and $30,500,000, EBITDA, as adjusted, of between $2,600,000 and $3,000,000, net income in the range of $1,300,000 to $1,700,000 and earnings per diluted share in the range of $.27 to $.35."

He added, "Despite our operating loss for the quarter, our EBITDA, as adjusted, was positive for the quarter. Our financial condition remains strong. At June 30, 2008, total current assets were $22,382,000 versus total current liabilities of $5,035,000 for a 4.5 to 1 current ratio. With approximately $21 million and $7 million in federal and state net operating loss carryforwards, respectively, we should continue to shield profits from federal and New York State taxes and enhance future cash flow. Additionally, at June 30, 2008, we had approximately $5.3 million in cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities."

(1) The EBITDA tables (as adjusted) presented are not determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Management uses adjusted EBITDA to evaluate the operating performance of its business. It is also used, at times, by some investors, securities analysts and others to evaluate companies and make informed business decisions. EBITDA is also a useful indicator of the income generated to service debt. EBITDA (as adjusted) is not a complete measure of an entity's profitability because it does not include costs and expenses for interest, depreciation and amortization, income taxes and stock based compensation. Adjusted EBITDA as presented herein may not be comparable to similarly named measures reported by other companies.
