utilization in the first half of 2008 versus the same period in the prior year discussed above, partially offset by higher bad debt expense and higher professional fees incurred in the six months ended June 30, 2008.
Interest Income
Interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2008 was $52,981 as compared to $21,273 for the six months ended June 30, 2007. This increase was attributable to higher cash balances during the six month period ended June 30, 2008 versus the same period in the prior year.
Interest Expense -
Interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2008 was $142,728 as compared to $167,189 for the six months ended June 30, 2007. The average outstanding debt balance was $577,008 higher in the six month period ended June 30, 2008 versus that in the six months ended June 30, 2007. The average prime rate of interest paid was 288 basis points lower in the 2008 period than it was in 2007.
Tax Expense (Benefit)
The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2008 was 47.9%, based upon income before tax expense of $1,193,392. The reason for the higher rate is consistent with the three month Tax Expense (Benefit) disclosure above. For the six months ended June 30, 2007, principally as
a result of the loss before tax incurred by the Company, there was an overall tax benefit of $288,612. This benefit was partially offset by state income taxes for those jurisdictions that were profitable during the period.
Net Income (Loss)
- As a result of the above noted factors our net income was $621,218 for the six months ended June 30, 2008 compared to a net loss of $670,371 for the six months ended June 30, 2007. This resulted in diluted earnings per share of $0.10 on weighted average diluted common shares outstanding of 5,976,008 for the six months ended June 30, 2008, as compared to diluted loss per share of $(0.12) on weighted average diluted common shares outstanding of 5,749,964 for the six month period ended June 30, 2007.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
- As of June 30, 2008, we had cash and cash equivalents of $3,771,355. Our net current assets were $7,901,911 at June 30, 2008 versus $6,971,732 at December 31, 2007. Total debt at June 30, 2008 was $4,560,724 compared to the December 31, 2007 balance of $4,736,384. Borrowings under the revolving credit facility were $3,635,897 at June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007. The Company is required to maintain certain financial and reporting covenants and restrictions on dividend payments under the terms of the Loan Agreement with TD Banknorth, N.A. The Company was not in compliance with certain of these bank covenants at December 31, 2007 and March 31, 2008. TD Banknorth, N.A. provided the Company with a waiver associated with the bank covenants in default on March 28, 2008 and May 14, 2008. As a condition of the waiver, the
Company agreed to grant TD Banknorth a first security interest on its accounts receivable.
Cash provided by operating activities was $995,781 during the six months ended June 30, 2008. The most significant use of cash resulted from a net increase in costs in excess of billings and estimated
20
profits
of $1,015,915. This was offset by an increase in accrued expenses of $596,407
and billings in excess of costs and profits of $423,853.
Cash
used in investing activities was $211,315 and was for the purchase of
property and equipment and an earn-out payment associated with the CIS acquisition.
Cash
from financing activities used $290,561, of which $350,004 represents
the repayments of bank loans and other debt, partially offset by a net recovery
from shareholder of $59,443.
The anticipated cash flow from our base business is expected to be sufficient to support the initial funding of the L-3 Contract, as we will be incurring certain costs in advance of receiving firm orders from L-3. These costs will be deferred until such orders are received. However, in the interest of increasing our bonding line, providing for anticipated increased requirements for working capital, and positioning ourselves to be in a position to take advantage of strategic investment opportunities that come up from time-to-time, the Company is currently in the process of finalizing an increase in the Revolving Loan to $8 million, which is expected to come due on June 30, 2010.
Backlog and Bookings
Booked orders decreased 53.7% to $10,328,622 in the second quarter of 2008 as compared to $22,319,535 in the second quarter of 2007. The Companys backlog as of June 30, 2008 was $17,609,108. The greater volume of booked orders in the second quarter of 2007 versus second quarter 2008 was due to the booking by the Company of several large public agency jobs, which were not duplicated in the second quarter 2008. In addition, the work completed on these jobs in the second half of 2007 and in the first half of 2008 is the primary factor in the decline in the backlog. However, as discussed above in Trends, our revenue forecast for 2008 remains at $65 million.
Booked orders decreased 23.6% to $22,071,938 in the second half of 2008 as compared to $28,888,432 in the second half of 2007, for the reason noted above.
Critical Accounting Polices
Disclosure of the Companys significant accounting policies is included in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements of the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for year ended December 31, 2007. Some of these policies require management to make estimates and assumptions that may affect the reported amounts in the Companys financial statements.
Forward Looking Statements
When used in this discussion, the words believes, anticipates, contemplated, expects, or similar expressions are intended to identify forward looking statements. Such statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected. Those risks and uncertainties include changes in interest rates, the ability to control costs and expenses, significant variations in recognized revenue due to customer caused delays in installations, cancellations of contracts by our customers, and general economic conditions which could cause actual results to differ materially from historical earnings and those presently anticipated or projected.
21
The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly release the results of any revisions to those forward looking statements that may be made to reflect events or circumstances after this date or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
We have one revolving credit facility for which the interest rate on outstanding borrowings is variable and is based upon the prime rate of interest. At June 30, 2008, there was $3,635,897 outstanding under this credit facility.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Companys Chief Executive Officer, Chief Operating Officer and Chief Financial Officer have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act)) as of June 30, 2008. Based on such evaluation, such officers have concluded that, as of June 30, 2008, the Companys disclosure controls and procedures are effective.
(b) Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
During the three months ended June 30, 2008, management did not identify any changes in the Companys internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Companys internal control over financial reporting.

Part II - Other Information
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
In July 2007, an accident occurred in Corona, California involving one of the Companys vehicles. The operator of a motorcycle was killed in the accident. His family has commenced litigation against the former Company employee who was driving the vehicle, as well as the Company. The litigation is still in an early stage. While the Company believes any recovery would be fully covered by its insurance, there can be no assurance to that effect.
We know of no other material litigation or proceeding, pending or threatened, to which we are or may become a party.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
As of the quarter ended June 30, 2008 there were no material changes to the risk factors discussed in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007.
