For the three months ended June 30, 2007, we acquired a security services business for a purchase price of $3,400,000. At the closing, we paid $1,615,000 of the purchase price in cash and issued 614,246 shares of our common stock, valued at an aggregate amount of $1,785,000 for the remaining balance of the purchase price. The issuance of these shares of our common stock has been excluded from investing and financing activities on the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows presented.

For the three months ended June 30, 2007, we received available-for-sale securities in connection with our claim related to the bankruptcy filing of Northwest Airlines in the amount of $366,988 which is included as a bad debt recovery in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of income.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)

The accompanying consolidated financial statements presented herein have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and do not include all of the information and note disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. These statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in our consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008. In this discussion, the words “Company”, “we”, “our” “us” and terms of similar import should be deemed to refer to Command Security Corporation.

The condensed consolidated financial statements for the interim period shown in this report are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2009 or for any subsequent period. In the opinion of our management, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial statements included in this quarterly report. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.

1.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157 "Fair Value Measurements" ("SFAS No. 157"), which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. In February 2008, the FASB issued Staff Position (“FSP”) 157-2, Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157. This FSP delays the effective date of FAS 157 for all nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value on a recurring basis (at least annually) to fiscal years beginning after November 15,2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of SFAS No.157 when it became effective for the Company on April 1, 2008 did not have a material impact on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements.

In February 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 159 "The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities" ("SFAS No. 159"). SFAS No. 159 permits entities to choose to measure certain financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value. The objective is to improve financial reporting by providing entities with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. SFAS No. 159 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The adoption of SFAS No.157 when it became effective for the Company on April 1, 2008 did not have a material impact on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements.

Short-Term Borrowings:

Until March 21, 2006, we were parties to a financing agreement (the “Agreement”) with CIT Group/Business Credit, Inc. (“CIT”) that had a term of three years ending December 12, 2006 and provided for borrowings in an amount up to 85% of our eligible accounts receivable, as defined in the Agreement, but in no event more than $15,000,000. The Agreement also provided for advances against unbilled revenue (primarily monthly invoiced accounts) although this benefit was offset by a reserve against all outstanding payroll checks. Borrowings under the Agreement bore interest at the prime rate, (as defined in the Agreement), plus 1.25% per annum on the greater of: (i) $5,000,000 or (ii) the average of the net balances we owe to CIT in the loan account at the close of each day during such month. Closing costs totaled $279,963 and are being amortized over the three year life of the Agreement, as extended (see below).

COMMAND SECURITY CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
 
On March 22, 2006, we entered into an Amended and Restated Financing Agreement with CIT (the “Amended and Restated Agreement”), which provided for borrowings as noted above, but in no event more than $12,000,000. The Amended and Restated Agreement provided for a letter of credit sub-line in an aggregate amount of up to $1,500,000. Letters of credit are subject to a two percent (2%) per annum fee on the face amount of each letter of credit. The Amended and Restated Agreement provided that interest will be calculated on the outstanding principal balance of the revolving loans at the prime rate, (as defined in the Amended and Restated Agreement), plus .25% if our EBITDA, (as defined in the Amended and Restated Agreement), is equal to or less than $500,000 for the most recently completed fiscal quarter; otherwise, at the prime rate. For LIBOR loans, interest will be calculated on the outstanding principal balance of the LIBOR loans at the LIBOR rate, (as defined in the Amended and Restated Agreement), plus 2.75% if our EBITDA is equal to or less than $500,000 for the most recently completed fiscal quarter; otherwise, at the LIBOR rate plus 2.50%.    

On April 12, 2007, we entered into an amendment to the Amended and Restated Agreement (“the Amended Agreement”). Pursuant to the Amended Agreement, the aggregate line of credit was increased from $12,000,000 to $16,000,000, and we were provided with a $2,400,000 acquisition advance to fund the cash requirements associated with the acquisition of a security services business. The Amended Agreement also provides for an extension of the maturity date to December 12, 2008, and for reductions in fees and availability reserves and an increase in the letter of credit sub-line to an aggregate amount of up to $3,000,000. The Amended Agreement provides that interest will be calculated on the outstanding principal balance of the revolving loans at the prime rate, (as defined in the Amended Agreement), less .25% and for
LIBOR loans, interest will be calculated on the outstanding principal balance of the LIBOR loans at the
LIBOR rate, (as defined in the Amended Agreement), plus 2.0%.

As of June 30, 2008, the interest rates were 4.75% and 4.78% for revolving and LIBOR loans, respectively. Closing costs for the Amended Agreement totaled $158,472, including $125,000 payable to the lender, with $45,000 due at closing, $40,000 due six months after closing and $40,000 due twelve months after closing, and $33,472 in legal costs incurred in connection with the transaction. Such costs are being amortized over the remaining life of the Amended Agreement.

At June 30, 2008, we had borrowed $3,009,912 in revolving loans, $6,000,000 in LIBOR loans and had a $70,000 letter of credit outstanding representing approximately 64% of our maximum borrowing capacity under the Amended Agreement based on our “eligible accounts receivable” (as defined under the Amended Agreement) as of such date. However, as our business grows and produces new eligible accounts receivable (as to which no assurance can be given), up to an additional $6,920,088 could be available to borrow under the Amended Agreement.

We rely on our revolving loan from CIT which contains a fixed charge covenant and various other financial and non-financial covenants. If we breach a covenant, CIT has the right to immediately request the repayment in full of all borrowings under the Amended Agreement, unless CIT waives the breach. For the three months ended June 30, 2008, we were in compliance with all covenants under the Amended Agreement.

Insurance Reserves:

We have an insurance policy covering workers’ compensation claims in states that we perform services. Estimated accrued liabilities are based on our historical loss experience and the ratio of claims paid to our historical payout profiles. Charges for estimated workers’ compensation related losses incurred and included in cost of sales were $536,833 and $576,707, for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

The nature of our business also subjects us to claims or litigation alleging that we are liable for damages as a result of the conduct of our employees or others. We insure against such claims and suits through general liability policies with third-party insurance companies. Such policies have limits of $7,000,000 per occurrence for claims related to our non-aviation business with an additional excess umbrella policy of $5,000,000. On the aviation related business, we have a policy with a $30,000,000 limit per occurrence. We retain the risk for the first $25,000 per occurrence on the non-aviation related policy which includes airport wheelchair and electric cart operations and $5,000 on the aviation related policy except for $25,000 for damage to aircraft and $100,000 for skycap operations. Estimated accrued liabilities are based on specific reserves in connection with existing claims as determined by third party risk management consultants and actuarial factors and the timing of reported claims. These are all factored into estimated losses incurred but not yet reported to us.

Cumulative amounts estimated to be payable by us with respect to pending and potential claims for all years in which we are liable under our general liability retention and workers’ compensation policies have been
accrued as liabilities. Such accrued liabilities are necessarily based on estimates; thus, our ultimate liability may exceed or be less than the amounts accrued. The methods of making such estimates and establishing the resultant accrued liability are reviewed continually and any adjustments resulting therefrom are reflected in current results of operations.

Net Income per Common Share:

Under the requirements of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, “Earnings Per Share,” the dilutive effect of our common shares that have not been issued, but that may be issued upon the exercise or conversion, as the case may be, of rights or options to acquire such common shares, is excluded from the calculation for basic earnings per share. Diluted earnings per share reflects the additional dilution that would result from the issuance of our common shares if such rights or options were exercised or converted, as the case may be, and is presented for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007.

7.
Contingencies:

The nature of our business is such that there is a significant volume of routine claims and lawsuits that are issued against us, the vast majority of which never lead to substantial damages being awarded. We maintain general liability and workers’ compensation insurance coverage that we believe is appropriate to the relevant level of risk and potential liability. Some of the claims brought against us could result in significant payments; however, the exposure to us under general liability is limited to the first $25,000 per occurrence on the non-aviation, airport wheelchair and electric cart operations related claims and $5,000 per occurrence on the aviation related claims except for $25,000 for damage to aircraft and $100,000 for skycap operations. Any punitive damage award would not be covered by the general liability insurance policy. The only other potential impact would be on future premiums, which may be adversely affected by an unfavorable claims history.

In addition to such cases, we have been named as a defendant in several uninsured employment related claims which are currently before various courts, the Equal Employment Opportunities Commission or various state and local agencies. We have instituted policies to minimize these occurrences and monitor those that do occur. At this time, we are unable to determine the impact on the financial position and results of operations that these claims may have, should the investigations conclude that they are valid.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations should be read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes contained in this quarterly report.

Forward Looking Statements

Certain of our statements contained in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations section of this quarterly report and, in particular, those under the heading “Outlook,” contain forward-looking statements. The words “may”, “will”, “should”, “expect”, “anticipate”, “believe”, “plans”, “intend” and “continue”, or the negative of these words or other variations on these words or comparable terminology typically identify such statements. These statements are based on our management’s current expectations, estimates, forecasts and projections about the industry in which we operate generally, and other beliefs of and assumptions made by our management, some or many of which may be incorrect. In addition, other written or verbal statements that constitute forward-looking statements may be made by us or on our behalf. While our management believes these statements are accurate, our business is dependent upon general economic conditions and various conditions specific to the industries in which we operate. Moreover, we believe that the current business environment is more challenging and difficult than it has been in the past several years, if not longer. Many of our customers, particularly those that are primarily involved in the aviation industry, are currently experiencing substantial financial and business difficulties as a result of a generally poor economic environment, and the relatively high price of oil and the corresponding substantial increase in their operating costs in particular. If the business of any substantial customer or group of customers fails or is materially and adversely affected by these factors, they may seek to substantially reduce their expenditures for our services. These factors could cause our actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements that we have made in this quarterly report. Further, other factors, including, but not limited to, those relating to the shortage of qualified labor, competitive conditions, and adverse changes in economic conditions of the various markets in which we operate, could adversely impact our business, operations and financial condition and cause our actual results to fail to meet our expectations, as expressed in the forward-looking statements that we have made in this quarterly report. These forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance, and involve certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult for us to predict. We undertake no obligation to update publicly any of these forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

As provided for under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, we wish to caution shareholders and investors that the important factors under the heading “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with respect to our fiscal year ended March 31, 2008 could cause our actual results and experience to differ materially from our anticipated results or other expectations expressed in our forward-looking statements in this quarterly report.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We believe the following critical accounting policies affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our financial statements. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions and conditions.

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned domestic subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in the condensed consolidated financial statements.

12


Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and revenue and expenses during the periods reported. Estimates are used when accounting for certain items such as allowances for doubtful accounts, depreciation and amortization, income tax assets and insurance reserves. Estimates are based on historical experience, where applicable or other assumptions that management believes are reasonable under the circumstances. Due to the inherent uncertainty involved in making estimates, actual results may differ from those estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Revenue Recognition

We record revenues as services are provided to our customers. Revenues are generated primarily from our aviation and security services, which we typically bill at hourly rates. These rates may vary depending on base, overtime and holiday time worked.

Trade Receivables

We periodically evaluate the requirement for providing for billing adjustments and/or credit losses on our accounts receivable. We provide for billing adjustments where management determines that there is a likelihood of a significant adjustment for disputed billings. Criteria used by management to evaluate the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts include, among others, the creditworthiness of the customer, current trends, prior payment performance, the age of the receivables and our overall historical loss experience. Individual accounts are charged off against the allowance as management deems them as uncollectible.

Intangible Assets

Intangible assets are stated at cost and consist primarily of customer lists and borrowing costs that are being amortized on a straight-line basis over three to ten years and goodwill which is reviewed annually for impairment. The life assigned to customer lists acquired is based on management’s estimate of the attrition rate of our customers. The attrition rate is estimated based on historical contract longevity and management’s operating experience. We test for impairment annually or when events and circumstances warrant such a review, if sooner. Any potential impairment is evaluated based on anticipated undiscounted future cash flows and actual customer attrition in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.”

Insurance Reserves

General liability estimated accrued liabilities are calculated on an undiscounted basis based on actual claim data and estimates of incurred but not reported claims developed utilizing historical claim trends. Projected settlements and incurred but not reported claims are estimated based on pending claims, historical trends and data.

Workers’ compensation annual premiums are based on the incurred losses as determined at the end of the coverage period, subject to minimum and maximum premium. Estimated accrued liabilities are based on our historical loss experience and the ratio of claims paid to our historical payout profiles.

Income Taxes

Income taxes are based on income (loss) for financial reporting purposes and reflect a current tax liability (asset) for the estimated taxes payable (recoverable) in the current year tax return and changes in deferred taxes. Deferred tax assets or liabilities are determined based on differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using enacted tax laws and rates. A valuation allowance is provided on deferred tax assets if it is determined that it is more likely than not that the asset will not be realized.

Accounting for Stock Options 

In December 2002 the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 148, (“SFAS 148”), "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation-Transition and Disclosure", an amendment of SFAS No. 123, (“SFAS 123”), “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” to provide alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based compensation. Since SFAS 148 was adopted during fiscal year ended March 31, 2003, we could elect to adopt any of the three transitional recognition provisions. We adopted the prospective method of accounting for stock-based compensation.

In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment” (“SFAS 123R”), which replaced SFAS 123. SFAS 123R requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the financial statements based on their fair values at grant date and the recognition of the related expense over the period in which the share-based compensation vests. We were required to adopt the provisions of SFAS 123R effective July 1, 2005 and use the modified-prospective transition method. Under the modified-prospective method, we recognize compensation expense in our financial statements issued subsequent to the date of adoption for all share-based payments granted, modified or settled after July 1, 2005. The adoption of SFAS 123R resulted in a non-cash charge of $6,250 and $93,550 for stock compensation cost for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Such non-cash charge would have been the same under the provisions of SFAS 148.

Results of Operations

Revenues

Our revenues increased $3,865,068, or 13.8%, for the three months ended June 30, 2008 compared with the corresponding period of the prior year. This increase in revenues resulted primarily from: (i) expanded security services provided to new and existing customers of approximately $2,400,000 including a major medical center, a New York based hospital center and a major international commercial bank; (ii) the acquisition of a Maryland-based security services business that we acquired in January 2008 of approximately $525,000; and (iii) expanded aviation services to new and existing customers of approximately $1,700,000 at our terminal operations at Los Angeles International Airport in California and John F. Kennedy International Airport and LaGuardia Airport in New York. The increase in revenues was partially offset by the loss of revenues at seven domestic airport locations of approximately $933,000 in the aggregate resulting from a change in government regulations that requires the Transportation Security Administration (“TSA”) to provide certain document verification services that we formerly provided at these airports.

Gross Profit

Our gross profit increased by $1,027,362, or 28.7%, for the three months ended June 30, 2008 compared with the corresponding period of the prior year. The increase in gross profit resulted primarily from: (i) our acquisition of a Maryland-based security services businesses in January 2008; (ii) expanded security and aviation services provided to new and existing customers as described above; (iii) lower labor ratio margins for our security services division; and (iv) lower workers’ compensation insurance costs. The increase in our gross profit was partially offset by the loss to the TSA of certain document verification services, described above.

General and Administrative Expenses

Our general and administrative expenses increased by $390,782, or 12.6%, for the three months ended June 30, 2008 compared with the corresponding period of the prior year. The increase in general and administrative expenses resulted primarily from higher: (i) administrative payroll and related costs of approximately $350,000 associated primarily with expanded operations, including the acquisition in Maryland noted above, and additional investment in our sales and marketing group; (ii) health insurance costs; and (iii) professional and related fees. The increase in our general and administrative expenses was partially offset by approximately $132,000 of: (i) lower stock compensation costs, and (ii) the absence in the current year period of public company expenses associated with our initial listing of our common shares on the American Stock Exchange in the prior year.

Provision for Doubtful Accounts

The provision for doubtful accounts increased by $375,294 for the three months ended June 30, 2008 compared with the corresponding period of the prior year. The increase in our provision for doubtful accounts reflects the recovery of approximately $369,000 attributable to the value of the stock that we received under our claim related to the bankruptcy filing of Northwest Airlines in the corresponding period of the prior year.

We periodically evaluate the requirement for providing for billing adjustments and/or credit losses on our accounts receivable. We provide for billing adjustments where our management determines that there is a likelihood of a significant adjustment for disputed billings. Criteria used by management to evaluate the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts include, among others, the creditworthiness of the customer, current trends, prior payment performance, the age of the receivables and our overall historical loss experience. Individual accounts are charged off against the allowance as management deems them as uncollectible. We do not know if bad debts will increase in future periods nor does our management believe that the increase during the three months ended June 30, 2008 compared with the corresponding period of the prior year is necessarily indicative of a trend.

Interest Income

Interest income which principally represents interest earned on: (i) cash balances and (ii) trust funds for potential future workers’ compensation claims, decreased for the three months ended June 30, 2008 compared with the same period of the prior year as a result of lower trust fund balances due to favorable trending for potential future workers’ compensation claims.

Interest Expense

Interest expense decreased for the three months ended June 30, 2008 by $101,210 compared with the same period of the prior year. The decrease for the three month period ended June 30, 2008 was due mainly to lower weighted average interest rates and outstanding borrowings under our commercial revolving loan agreement.

Equipment Dispositions

Equipment dispositions are a result of the sale of vehicles, office equipment and security equipment at prices above or below book value.

The $6,612 gain on equipment dispositions for the three months ended June 30, 2008 was primarily due to the disposition of Company vehicles at amounts in excess of their respective book values.

Provision for income taxes

Provision for income taxes increased for the three months ended June 30, 2008 by $205,000 compared with the same period of the prior year due mainly to an increase in our pre-tax earnings and the recognition of deferred tax assets in the prior year period.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We pay employees and administrative service clients on a weekly basis, while customers pay for services generally within 60 days after billing by the Company. In order to fund payroll and operations, we maintain a commercial revolving loan arrangement, currently with CIT Group/Business Credit, Inc. (“CIT”).

Our principal use of short-term borrowings is for carrying accounts receivable.  Our short-term borrowings have supported the increase in accounts receivable associated with:  (i) our ongoing expansion and organic growth; (ii) the October 1, 2006 change in a majority of Delta Airline’s billing and payment terms from monthly invoices prepaid in advance to weekly invoices due in thirty (30) days and (iii) our acquisitions of Expert Security Services, Inc. and Brown Security Industries, Inc. on January 1, 2008 and April 12, 2007, respectively.  We will continue to use our short-term borrowings to support our working capital requirements.

We believe that existing funds, cash generated from operations, and existing sources of and access to financing are adequate to satisfy our working capital, capital expenditure and debt service requirements for the foreseeable future. However, we cannot assure you that this will be the case, and we may be required to obtain additional financing to maintain and expand our existing operations through the sale of our securities, an increase in our credit facilities or otherwise. The failure by us to obtain such financing, if needed, would have a material adverse effect upon our business, financial condition and results of operations.

CIT Revolving Loan

Until March 21, 2006, we were parties to a financing agreement (the “Agreement”) with CIT that as defined in the Agreement, had a term of three years ending December 12, 2006 and provided for borrowings in an amount up to 85% of our eligible accounts receivable, as defined in the Agreement, but in no event more than $15,000,000. The Agreement also provided for advances against unbilled revenue (primarily monthly invoiced accounts) although this benefit was offset by a reserve against all outstanding payroll checks. Borrowings under the Agreement bore interest at the prime rate, (as defined in the Agreement), plus 1.25% per annum on the greater of: (i) $5,000,000 or (ii) the average of the net balances owed by us to CIT in the loan account at the close of each day during such month. Costs to close the loan totaled $279,963 and are being amortized over the three year life of the Agreement; as extended (see below).

On March 22, 2006, we entered into an Amended and Restated Financing Agreement with CIT (the “Amended and Restated Agreement”), which provided for borrowings as noted above, but in no event more than $12,000,000. The Amended and Restated Agreement provided for a letter of credit sub-line in an aggregate amount of up to $1,500,000. Letters of credit are subject to a two percent (2%) per annum fee on the face amount of each letter of credit. The Amended and Restated Agreement provided that interest will be calculated on the outstanding principal balance of the revolving loans at the prime rate, (as defined in the Amended and Restated Agreement), plus .25% if our EBITDA, (as defined in the Amended and Restated Agreement), is equal to or less than $500,000 for the most recently completed fiscal quarter; otherwise, at the prime rate. For LIBOR loans, interest will be calculated on the outstanding principal balance of the LIBOR loans at the LIBOR rate, (as defined in the Amended and Restated Agreement), plus 2.75% if our EBITDA is equal to or less than $500,000 for the most recently completed fiscal quarter; otherwise, at the LIBOR rate plus 2.50%.    

On April 12, 2007, we entered into an amendment to the Amended and Restated Agreement (“the Amended Agreement”). Pursuant to the Amended Agreement, the aggregate line of credit was increased from $12,000,000 to $16,000,000, and we were provided with a $2,400,000 acquisition advance to fund the cash requirements associated with the acquisition of a security services business. The Amended Agreement also provides for an extension of the maturity date to December 12, 2008, and for reductions in fees and availability reserves and an increase in the letter of credit sub-line to an aggregate amount of up to $3,000,000. The Amended Agreement provides that interest will be calculated on the outstanding principal balance of the revolving loans at the prime rate, (as defined in the Amended Agreement), less .25% and for LIBOR loans, interest will be calculated on the outstanding principal balance of the LIBOR loans at the LIBOR rate, (as defined in the Amended Agreement), plus 2.0%.
 
16

 
As of June 30, 2008, the interest rates were 4.75% and 4.78% for revolving and LIBOR loans, respectively. Closing costs for the Amended Agreement totaled $158,472, including $125,000 payable to the lender, with $45,000 due at closing, $40,000 due six months after closing and $40,000 due twelve months after closing; and $33,472 in legal costs incurred in connection with the transaction. Such costs are being amortized over the remaining life of the Amended Agreement.
 
At June 30, 2008, we had borrowed $3,009,912 in revolving loans and $6,000,000 in LIBOR loans and had a $70,000 letter of credit outstanding representing approximately 64% of our maximum borrowing capacity under the Amended Agreement based on our “eligible accounts receivable” (as defined under the Amended Agreement) as of such date. However, as our business grows and produces new eligible accounts receivable increases (as to which no assurance can be given), up to an additional $6,920,088 could be available to borrow under the Amended Agreement.

We rely on our revolving loan from CIT which contains a fixed charge covenant and various other financial and non-financial covenants. If we breach a covenant, CIT has the right to immediately request the repayment in full of all borrowings under the Amended Agreement, unless CIT waives the breach. For the three months ended June 30, 2008, we were in compliance with all covenants under the Amended Agreement.
 
Other Borrowings
 
During the three months ended June 30, 2008, we increased our short-term borrowings principally to support higher accounts receivable associated with our ongoing expansion and organic growth.

We have no additional lines of credit other than described above.

Investing

We have no present material commitments for capital expenditures.

Working Capital

Working capital increased by $976,478 to $7,073,514 as of June 30, 2008, from $6,097,036 as of March 31, 2008. We experienced checks issued in advance of deposits (defined as checks drawn in advance of future deposits) of $1,633,092 at June 30, 2008, compared with $1,962,314 at March 31, 2008. Cash balances and book overdrafts can fluctuate materially from day to day depending on such factors as collections, timing of billing and payroll dates, and are covered via advances from the revolving loan as checks are presented for payment.

Outlook

Financial Results

Future revenue will be largely dependent upon our ability to gain additional revenue in the security and aviation services divisions at acceptable margins while minimizing terminations of contracts with existing customers. The revenues of our security services division has started to experience both organic and transactional growth over recent quarters after a reduction over the past few years as contracts with unacceptable margins were cancelled. Our current focus is on increasing revenue while our marketing and sales team and branch managers work to sell new business and retain profitable contracts. The airline industry continues to increase its demand for services provided by us. However, our aviation services division is continually subject to government regulation, which has adversely affected us in the past with the federalization of the pre-board screening services and most recently with the ongoing federalization of the document verification process at several of our domestic airport locations.
 
17

 
Our gross profit margin increased during the three months ended June 30, 2008 to 14.4% of revenues compared with 12.7% for the corresponding period last year. The increase resulted primarily from: (i) our acquisition of a Maryland-based security services businesses in January 2008; (ii) expanded security and aviation services as described above; (iii) lower labor ratio margins for our security services division; and (iv) lower workers’ compensation insurance costs. We expect our gross profit margins to average between 13.5% and 14.5% of revenue for fiscal year 2009 based on current business conditions. Management expects gross profit to remain under pressure due primarily to continued price competition. However, management expects these effects to be moderated by continued operational efficiencies resulting from better management of our cost structures, improved workers’ compensation experience ratings, workflow process efficiencies associated with our newly integrated financial software system and higher contributions from our continuing new business development.

Our cost reduction program is expected to reduce certain of our operating and general and administrative expenses for both the remainder of fiscal 2009 and future periods. Additional cost reduction opportunities are being pursued as they are determined.

The aviation services division represents approximately 59% of our total revenue, and Delta, at annual billings of approximately $18,000,000, is the largest customer of our aviation division representing, on an annual basis, approximately 25% of the revenues from our aviation services division and 15% of our total revenues. Due to the existing limitations under the Amended Agreement with CIT, we are limited to borrowing against Delta’s accounts receivable of up to (but not exceeding) approximately $2,060,000, so long as such accounts do not remain unpaid for more than 60 days from the invoice date. In the event of a bankruptcy by another airline customer(s), our earnings and liquidity could be adversely affected to the extent of the accounts receivable with such airline(s), as well as from lost future revenues if such airline(s) cease operations or reduce their requirements from us.

As of the close of business on August 7, 2008, our cash availability was approximately $5,600,000, which is believed to be sufficient to meet our needs for the foreseeable future barring any increase in reserves imposed by CIT. We believe that existing funds, cash generated from operations, and existing sources of and access to financing are adequate to satisfy our working capital, capital expenditure and debt service requirements for the foreseeable future, barring any increase in reserves imposed by CIT. However, we cannot assure you that this will be the case, and we may be required to obtain additional financing to maintain and expand our existing operations through the sale of our securities, an increase in available borrowings under our existing or new credit facilities or otherwise. We believe that existing funds, cash generated from operations, and existing sources of and access to financing are adequate to satisfy our working capital, capital expenditure and debt service requirements for the foreseeable future. As of the date of this quarterly report and for the past several months, the financial markets generally, and the credit markets in particular, are and have been experiencing substantial turbulence and turmoil, and extreme volatility, both in the United States and, increasingly, in other markets worldwide. The current market situation has resulted generally in substantial reductions in available loans to a broad spectrum of businesses, increased scrutiny by lenders of the credit-worthiness of borrowers, more restrictive covenants imposed by lenders upon borrowers under credit and similar agreements and, in some cases, increased interest rates under commercial and other loans. If we require additional financing at this or any other time, we cannot assure you that such financing will be available upon commercially acceptable terms or at all. If we fail to obtain additional financing when and if required by us, our business, financial condition and results of operations would be materially adversely affected.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

During the three months ended June 30, 2008, we did not hold a portfolio of securities instruments for either trading or speculative purposes. Periodically, we hold securities instruments for other than trading purposes. Due to the short-term nature of our investments, we believe that we have no material exposure to changes in the fair value as a result of market fluctuations.

We are exposed to market risk in connection with changes in interest rates, primarily in connection with outstanding balances under our revolving line of credit with CIT, which was entered into for purposes other than trading purposes. Based on our average outstanding balances during the three months ended June 30, 2008, a 1% change in the prime and/or LIBOR lending rates could impact our financial position and results of operations by approximately $75,000 over the remainder of fiscal 2009. For additional information on the revolving line of credit with CIT, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Liquidity and Capital Resources.”

Reference is made to Item 2 of Part I of this quarterly report, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Forward Looking Statements.”

Item 4. Controls and Procedures 

We maintain “disclosure controls and procedures”, as such term is defined under Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e), that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our President and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

We believe that a control system, no matter how well designed and operated, cannot provide absolute assurance that the objectives of the control system are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and our President and Chief Financial Officer has concluded that such controls and procedures are effective at the reasonable assurance level.

An evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our President and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation and subject to the foregoing, the President and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2008. There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the first quarter of fiscal 2009 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
