(Unaudited)

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements presented herein have not been audited, and have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q which do not include all of the information and note disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States.  These financial statements should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and notes thereto as of and 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 our 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.

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 accordance with 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, and interim periods within those fiscal years.  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 did not have a material impact on our 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 stated objective of SFAS No. 159 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, and interim periods within those fiscal years.  The adoption of SFAS No.159 did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 141 (Revised 2007), "Business Combinations." SFAS 141(R) will significantly change the accounting for business combinations. Under SFAS 141(R), an acquiring entity will be required to recognize, with limited exceptions, all the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a transaction at the acquisition-date fair value.  SFAS 141(R) will change the accounting treatment for certain specific acquisition-related items including, among other items: (1) expensing acquisition-related costs as incurred, (2) valuing noncontrolling interests at fair value at the acquisition date, and (3) expensing restructuring costs associated with an acquired business. SFAS 141(R) also includes a substantial number of new disclosure requirements. SFAS 141(R) is to be applied prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. The Company will adopt the provisions of SFAS 141(R) as of April 1, 2009.

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 revenues (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 the applicable month for which interest was calculated.  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.  Under the Amended and Restated Agreement, letters of credit were subject to a two percent (2%) per annum fee on the face amount of each letter of credit.  The Amended and Restated Agreement provided for interest to 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) was equal to or less than $500,000 for the most recently completed fiscal quarter; otherwise, the outstanding principal balance bore interest at the prime rate.  For LIBOR loans, interest was 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 was equal to or less than $500,000 for the most recently completed fiscal quarter; otherwise, the outstanding principal balance bore interest 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”).  Under the Amended Agreement, the aggregate amount that we could borrow from CIT under the credit facility was increased from $12,000,000 to $16,000,000, and CIT also provided us with a $2,400,000 acquisition advance to fund the cash requirements associated with the acquisition of a security services business.  Further, the Amended Agreement extended the maturity date of this credit facility to December 12, 2008, reduced certain fees and availability reserves and increased the letter of credit sub-line to an aggregate amount of up to $3,000,000.  Under the Amended Agreement, letters of credit are subject to a one and three-quarters percent (1.75%) per annum fee on the face amount of each letter of credit.  The Amended Agreement provides that interest is calculated on the outstanding principal balance of the revolving loans at the prime rate (as defined in the Amended Agreement) less .25%.  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%.

On October 10, 2008, we amended the Amended Agreement to extend the maturity date of the CIT credit facility to December 31, 2008 and to reduce the written notice period required to terminate the Amended Agreement from 60 days to 30 days.

(Unaudited)

On November 24, 2008, we amended the Amended Agreement to extend the maturity date of the CIT credit facility to March 31, 2009.  The amendment also provides for interest to be calculated on the outstanding principal balance of the revolving loans at prime rate (as defined in the Amended Agreement) plus 3.50%.  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 3.50%.  In addition, the Company agreed to pay CIT a fee (the “Amendment Fee”) in consideration for the extension provided to the Company under this amendment in the amount of $20,000.  The Amendment Fee is payable as follows:  (i) If the Obligations (as defined in the Amended Agreement) are paid in full on or before January 31, 2009, the entire Amendment Fee shall be forgiven; (ii) If the Obligations (as defined in the Amended Agreement) are not paid on or before January 31, 2009, a portion of the Amendment Fee in the amount of $7,500 must be paid on or before February 1, 2009; (iii) If the Obligations (as defined in the Amended Agreement) are paid in full on or before February 27, 2009, then the unpaid balance of the Amendment Fee shall be forgiven; and (iv) If the Obligations (as defined in the Amended Agreement) are not paid on or before February 27, 2009, then the unpaid balance of the Amendment Fee must be paid on or before March 2, 2009.

As of December 31, 2008, the interest rate for revolving loans was 6.75%.  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.  Legal costs incurred in connection with the transaction were $33,472.  All of these costs are being amortized over the remaining life of the Amended Agreement.

At December 31, 2008, we had borrowed $12,418,102 in revolving loans and had $147,000 of letters of credit outstanding representing approximately 79% 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.  For the nine months ended December 31, 2008, we were in compliance with all covenants under the Amended Agreement.

We have relied on our borrowings from CIT under our credit facility to finance our working capital requirements and, to a lesser extent, for acquisitions.  During November and December 2008, our management had discussions with, and received term sheets from a number of financial institutions with respect to a new credit facility.  Based on our review of the various alternatives presented by these financial institutions and input received from our management, our board of directors approved the selection of the proposal for a credit facility from Wells Fargo, National Association, acting through its Wells Fargo Business Credit operating division (“Wells Fargo”).  On February 12, 2009, we entered into a new $20,000,000 credit facility with Wells Fargo, as described in Note 9.

5.
Acquisitions:

In September 2008, we completed the acquisition of substantially all of the assets of Eagle International Group, LLC (“EIG”) and International Security & Safety Group, LLC (“ISSG”), providers of security services primarily in Broward and Palm Beach counties in Florida.  EIG and ISSG have an aggregate of approximately 200 employees and estimated combined annual sales of approximately $5,000,000 for calendar 2008.  The combined cash purchase price for these businesses was approximately $1,200,000, subject to reduction in the event that certain revenue targets are not met.

6.
Insurance Reserves:

We have an insurance policy covering workers’ compensation claims in states where 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 $517,697 and $385,927, and $1,429,635 and $1,296,602, for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
 
11

 
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 accrued amounts.  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.

7.
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 and nine months ended December 31, 2008 and 2007.

8.
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 that are pending 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.

9.
Subsequent Event:

On February 12, 2009, we entered into a new $20,000,000 credit facility with Wells Fargo (the “Credit Agreement”).  This new credit facility, which matures in February 2012, contains customary affirmative and negative covenants, including, among other things, covenants requiring us to maintain certain financial ratios.  This new facility replaces our existing $16,000,000 revolving credit facility with CIT, and will be used to refinance outstanding indebtedness under that facility, to pay fees and expenses in connection therewith and, thereafter, for working capital (including acquisitions), letters of credit and other general corporate purposes.

The Credit Agreement provides for a letter of credit sub-line in an aggregate amount of up to $3,000,000.  The Credit Agreement also provides for interest to be calculated on the outstanding principal balance of the revolving loans at the prime rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) plus 1.50%.  For LIBOR loans, interest will be calculated on the outstanding principal balance of the LIBOR loans at the LIBOR rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) plus 2.75%.  In addition, the Credit Agreement provides a performance pricing provision whereby if certain conditions are met (as defined in the Credit Agreement) the interest rates charged shall be reduced by 0.25%.

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 the Securities and Exchange Commission 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 the significant estimates and judgments 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.

13


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 our 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 $108,366 and $218,050 for stock compensation cost for the nine months ended December 31, 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 $2,535,145 and $9,492,572, or 8.4% and 10.7%, for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2008, respectively, compared with the corresponding periods of the prior year.  The increases in revenues for the three and nine month periods ended December 31, 2008 were due mainly to:  (i) expanded security services provided to new and existing customers, including a major medical center, a New York based hospital center, a major international commercial bank, a large grocery market distribution center in California and a company that provides merchandising and distribution services to a major grocery retailer in New Jersey, resulting in additional aggregate revenues of approximately $1,500,000 and $7,100,000, respectively; (ii) the acquisitions of security services businesses in Florida (September 2008) and Maryland (January 2008) that generated aggregate revenues of approximately $1,500,000 and $2,700,000, respectively; and (iii) expanded aviation services to new and existing customers at our terminal operations at Los Angeles International Airport in California and John F. Kennedy International Airport and LaGuardia Airport in New York, that generated additional aggregate revenues of approximately $600,000 and $3,400,000, respectively.  The increases in revenues were partially offset by:  (i) the loss of revenues at seven domestic airport locations 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 of approximately $600,000 and $2,500,000, respectively; and (ii) several of our airline customers continuing to reduce capacity within their systems which resulted in reductions of service hours that we provided to such carriers.

Gross Profit

Our gross profit increased by $575,283 and $2,269,717, or 13.9% and 18.7%, for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2008, respectively, compared with the corresponding periods of the prior year.  The increases in gross profit for the three and nine month periods resulted primarily from:  (i) the acquisitions of security services businesses in Florida (September 2008) and Maryland (January 2008); (ii) expanded security services provided to new and existing customers as described above; (iii) expanded aviation services provided to new and existing customers at John F. Kennedy International Airport and LaGuardia Airport in New York and (iv) lower costs associated with our general liability insurance programs.  The increases in our gross profit were partially offset by the loss to the TSA of certain document verification services and airline capacity reductions, described above.

15

 
General and Administrative Expenses

Our general and administrative expenses increased by $744,406 and $1,444,753, or 22.1% and 14.6%, for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2008, respectively, compared with the corresponding periods of the prior year. The increases in general and administrative expenses resulted primarily from higher:  (i) administrative payroll and related costs of approximately $400,000 and $1,100,000, respectively, associated primarily with expanded operations, including the acquisitions in Florida and Maryland noted above, additional investment in our sales and marketing group and the addition of a Chief Executive Officer; (ii) professional and related fees and (iii) insurance related costs.  The increase for the three months ended December 31, 2008 also reflects settlement of an employment related claim.  The increase in our general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended December 31, 2008 was partially offset by reductions of approximately $175,000 resulting mainly from:  (i) lower stock compensation costs; and (ii) the absence in the current year period of 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 decreased by $4,335 for the three months ended December 31, 2008 and increased $367,090 for the nine months ended December 31, 2008 compared with the corresponding periods of the prior year.  The increase in our provision for doubtful accounts for the nine months ended December 31, 2008 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 nine months ended December 31, 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 and nine months ended December 31, 2008 compared with the same periods of the prior year as a result of lower trust fund balances due to favorable trending for potential future workers’ compensation claims, as well as a reduction in the rate at which interest accrues on such balances.

Interest Expense

Interest expense decreased by $81,862 and $255,048 for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2008, respectively, compared with the corresponding periods of the prior year.  The decreases for the three and nine month periods ended December 31, 2008 were due mainly to lower weighted average interest rates 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.
 
16

 
The gains on equipment dispositions for the nine months ended December 31, 2008 were 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 by $205,000 and $785,000 for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2008, respectively, compared with the corresponding periods of the prior year due mainly to the recognition of deferred tax assets in the prior year periods and increases in our pre-tax earnings for the nine months ended December 31, 2008.

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 we bill them.  We maintain a commercial revolving loan arrangement, currently with CIT Group/Business Credit, Inc. (“CIT”), to fund our payroll and operations.

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 Eagle International Group, LLC and International Security & Safety Group, LLC, Expert Security Services, Inc. and Brown Security Industries, Inc. on September 12, 2008, January 1, 2008 and April 12, 2007, respectively.  We intend to continue to use our short-term borrowings to support our working capital requirements.

We believe that our 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 described below under the heading “CIT Revolving Loan.”  However, we cannot assure you that this will be the case, and we may be required to obtain alternative or 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 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 revenues (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 the applicable month for which interest was calculated.  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.  Under the Amended and Restated Agreement, letters of credit were subject to a two percent (2%) per annum fee on the face amount of each letter of credit.  The Amended and Restated Agreement provided for interest to 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) was equal to or less than $500,000 for the most recently completed fiscal quarter; otherwise, the outstanding principal balance bore interest at the prime rate.  For LIBOR loans, interest was 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 was equal to or less than $500,000 for the most recently completed fiscal quarter; otherwise, the outstanding principal balance bore interest 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”).  Under the Amended Agreement, the aggregate amount that we could borrow from CIT under the credit facility was increased from $12,000,000 to $16,000,000, and CIT also provided us with a $2,400,000 acquisition advance to fund the cash requirements associated with the acquisition of a security services business.  Further, the Amended Agreement extended the maturity date of this credit facility to December 12, 2008, reduced certain fees and availability reserves and increased the letter of credit sub-line to an aggregate amount of up to $3,000,000.  Under the Amended Agreement, letters of credit are subject to a one and three-quarters percent (1.75%) per annum fee on the face amount of each letter of credit.  The Amended Agreement provides that interest is calculated on the outstanding principal balance of the revolving loans at the prime rate (as defined in the Amended Agreement) less .25%.  For LIBOR loans, interest is calculated on the outstanding principal balance of the LIBOR loans at the LIBOR rate (as defined in the Amended Agreement) plus 2.0%.

On October 10, 2008, we amended the Amended Agreement to extend the maturity date of the CIT credit facility to December 31, 2008 and to reduce the written notice period required to terminate the Amended Agreement from 60 days to 30 days.

On November 24, 2008, we amended the Amended Agreement to extend the maturity date of the CIT credit facility to March 31, 2009.  The amendment also provides for interest to be calculated on the outstanding principal balance of the revolving loans at prime rate (as defined in the Amended Agreement) plus 3.50%.  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 3.50%.  In addition, the Company agreed to pay CIT a fee (the “Amendment Fee”) in consideration for the extension provided to the Company under this amendment in the amount of $20,000.  The Amendment Fee is payable as follows:  (i) If the Obligations (as defined in the Amended Agreement) are paid in full on or before January 31, 2009, the entire Amendment Fee shall be forgiven; (ii) If the Obligations (as defined in the Amended Agreement) are not paid on or before January 31, 2009, a portion of the Amendment Fee in the amount of $7,500 must be paid on or before February 1, 2009; (iii) If the Obligations (as defined in the Amended Agreement) are paid in full on or before February 27, 2009, then the unpaid balance of the Amendment Fee shall be forgiven; and (iv) If the Obligations (as defined in the Amended Agreement) are not paid on or before February 27, 2009, then the unpaid balance of the Amendment Fee must be paid on or before March 2, 2009.

As of December 31, 2008, the interest rate for revolving loans was 6.75%.  Closing costs for the Amended Agreement totaled $158,472, including $125,000 payable to CIT, with $45,000 due at closing, $40,000 due six months after closing and $40,000 due twelve months after closing.  Legal costs incurred in connection with the transaction were $33,472.  All of these costs are being amortized over the remaining life of the Amended Agreement.

At December 31, 2008, we had borrowed $12,418,102 in revolving loans and had $147,000 of letters of credit outstanding representing approximately 79% 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 the amount of eligible accounts receivable increases (as to which no assurance can be given), up to an additional $3,434,898 could be available to borrow under the Amended Agreement.

The agreements that relate to this facility contain various other financial and non-financial covenants, including a fixed charge covenant.  If we breach a covenant, CIT has the right to immediately request the repayment in full of all borrowings under the Amended Agreement.  For the nine months ended December 31, 2008, we were in compliance with all covenants under the Amended Agreement.
 
18

 
We have relied on our borrowings from CIT under our credit facility to finance our working capital requirements and, to a lesser extent, for acquisitions.  During November and December 2008, our management had discussions with, and received term sheets from a number of financial institutions with respect to a new credit facility.  Based on our review of the various alternatives presented by these financial institutions and input received from our management, our board of directors approved the selection of the proposal for a credit facility from Wells Fargo, National Association, acting through its Wells Fargo Business Credit operating division (“Wells Fargo”).

Wells Fargo Revolving Credit Facility

On February 12, 2009, we entered into a new $20,000,000 credit facility with Wells Fargo (the “Credit Agreement”).  This new credit facility, which matures in February 2012, contains customary affirmative and negative covenants, including, among other things, covenants requiring us to maintain certain financial ratios.  This new facility replaces our existing $16,000,000 revolving credit facility with CIT, and will be used to refinance outstanding indebtedness under that facility, to pay fees and expenses in connection therewith and, thereafter, for working capital (including acquisitions), letters of credit and other general corporate purposes.

The Credit Agreement provides for a letter of credit sub-line in an aggregate amount of up to $3,000,000.  The Credit Agreement also provides for interest to be calculated on the outstanding principal balance of the revolving loans at the prime rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) plus 1.50%.  For LIBOR loans, interest will be calculated on the outstanding principal balance of the LIBOR loans at the LIBOR rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) plus 2.75%.  In addition, the Credit Agreement provides a performance pricing provision whereby if certain conditions are met (as defined in the Credit Agreement) the interest rates charged shall be reduced by 0.25%.

Other Borrowings

During the nine months ended December 31, 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 $767,826 to $6,864,862 as of December 31, 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 $585,731 at December 31, 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 revenues will be largely dependent upon our ability to gain additional business from new and existing customers in our security and aviation services divisions at acceptable margins while minimizing terminations of contracts with existing customers. 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 develop new business and retain profitable contracts. The airline industry continues to increase its demand for third party services provided by us; however, several of our airline customers have continued to reduce capacity within their system which results in reductions of service hours provided by us to such carriers.  Additionally, 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.
 
19

 
Our gross profit margin increased during the nine months ended December 31, 2008 to 14.6% of revenues compared with 13.6% for the corresponding period last year.  We expect our gross profit margins to average between 14.0% and 15.0% 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 57% of our total revenue, and Delta, at annual billings of approximately $19,000,000, is the largest customer of our aviation division representing, on an annual basis, approximately 25% of the revenues from our aviation services division and 14% of our total revenues.  Due to the existing limitations under the Amended Agreement with CIT, we have been 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 described above on February 12, 2009, we entered into a new $20,000,000 credit facility (the “Credit Agreement”) with Wells Fargo.  As of the close of business on February 12, 2009, our cash availability was approximately $4,600,000, which we believe is sufficient to meet our needs for the foreseeable future barring any increase in reserves imposed by Wells Fargo.  We believe that our 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 described above under the heading “Liquidity and Capital Resources – Wells Fargo Revolving Credit Facility.”  However, we cannot assure you that this will be the case, and we may be required to obtain alternative or additional financing to maintain and expand our existing operations through the sale of our securities, an increase in our credit facilities or otherwise.  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 alternative or 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 nine months ended December 31, 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 Wells Fargo, which was entered into for purposes other than trading purposes.  Based on our average outstanding balances during the nine months ended December 31, 2008, a 1% change in the prime and/or LIBOR lending rates could impact our financial position and results of operations by approximately $25,000 over the remainder of our fiscal year ending March 31, 2009.  For additional information on the revolving line of credit with Wells Fargo, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Liquidity and Capital Resources –Wells Fargo Revolving Credit Facility.”

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 Rule 13a-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, 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 Chief Executive Officer 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 Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have 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 Chief Executive Officer 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 Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of December 31, 2008.  There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the third quarter of fiscal 2009 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

RECITALS
 
Borrower has asked Wells Fargo to provide it with a $20,000,000 revolving line of credit (the “Line of Credit”) for working capital purposes (including the repayment of certain of Borrower’s existing indebtedness) and to facilitate the issuance of letters of credit.   Wells Fargo is agreeable to meeting Borrower’s request, provided that Borrower agrees to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

For purposes of this Agreement, capitalized terms not otherwise defined in the Agreement shall have the meaning given them in Exhibit A.
 
1.
AMOUNT AND TERMS OF THE LINE OF CREDIT
 
1.1
Line of Credit; Limitations on Borrowings; Termination Date; Use of Proceeds.
 
(a)
Line of Credit and Limitations on Borrowing .  Wells Fargo shall make Advances to Borrower under the Line of Credit that, together with the L/C Amount, shall not at any time exceed in the aggregate the lesser of (i) $20,000,000 (the “Maximum Line Amount”), or (ii) the Borrowing Base limitations described in Section 1.2.  Within these limits, Borrower may periodically borrow, prepay in whole or in part, and re-borrow.   Wells Fargo has no obligation to make an Advance during a Default Period or at any time Wells Fargo reasonably believes that the making of an Advance would result in an Event of Default.
 
(b)
Maturity and Termination Dates .  Lead Borrower may request Advances from the date that the conditions set forth in Section 3 are satisfied until the earlier of: (i) February 12, 2012 (the “Maturity Date”), (ii) the date Lead Borrower terminates the Line of Credit, or (iii) the date Wells Fargo terminates the Line of Credit following an Event of Default (The earliest of these dates is the “Termination Date”).
 
(c)
Use of Line of Credit Proceeds .  Borrower shall use the proceeds of each Advance and each Letter of Credit to refinance certain existing indebtedness and for ongoing working capital purposes.
 
(d)
Revolving Note .  Borrower’s obligation to repay Advances, regardless of how initiated under Section 1.3, shall be evidenced by a revolving promissory note (as renewed, amended or replaced from time to time, the “Revolving Note”).

 
 

 

1.2
Borrowing Base; Mandatory Prepayment.

(a)
Borrowing Base .  The borrowing base (the “Borrowing Base”) is an amount equal to:
 
(i)             85% or such lesser percentage of Eligible Billed Accounts as Wells Fargo in its reasonable commercial judgment may deem appropriate, including, without limitation, in the event Dilution on the date of determination is in excess of four percent (4.0%), plus
 
(ii)             75% or such lesser percentage of Eligible Unbilled Accounts as Wells Fargo in its reasonable commercial judgment may deem appropriate, including, without limitation, in the event Dilution on the date of determination is in excess of four percent (4.0%),   less
 
(iii)            the Borrowing Base Reserve, less
 
(iv)           the outstanding amount of any Indebtedness of Borrower that is not otherwise described in this Section 1 and that is then due and owing to Wells Fargo, including Indebtedness that Wells Fargo in its sole discretion finds on the date of determination to be equal to Wells Fargo’s net credit exposure with respect to any swap, derivative, foreign exchange, hedge, deposit, treasury management or similar transaction or arrangement extended to Borrower by Wells Fargo, and any Indebtedness owed by Borrower to Wells Fargo Merchant Services, L.L.C., but excluding Indebtedness incurred by Borrower under any credit card arrangements between Borrower and Wells Fargo or any Affiliates.
 
 
Notwithstanding the foregoing, at no time shall (A) the outstanding balances of all Eligible Foreign Accounts included in the Borrowing Base exceed $3,500,000, or (B) the outstanding Advances supported by Eligible Foreign Accounts exceed $2,975,000.
 
(b)
Mandatory Prepayment; Overadvances .  If unreimbursed Advances evidenced by the Revolving Note plus the L/C Amount exceed the Borrowing Base or the Maximum Line Amount at any time, then Borrower shall immediately prepay the Revolving Note in an amount sufficient to eliminate the excess, and if payment in full of the Revolving Note is insufficient to eliminate this excess and the L/C Amount continues to exceed the Borrowing Base, then Borrower shall deliver cash to Wells Fargo in an amount equal to the remaining excess for deposit to the Special Account, unless in each case, Wells Fargo has delivered to Borrower an Authenticated Record consenting to the Overadvance prior to its occurrence, in which event the Overadvance shall be temporarily permitted on such terms and conditions as Wells Fargo in its sole discretion may deem appropriate, including the payment of additional fees or interest, or both.

1.3
Procedures for Line of Credit Advances.

(a)
Advances to Operating Account .  Advances shall be credited to Lead Borrower’s demand deposit account maintained with Wells Fargo (the “Operating Account”), unless the parties agree in a Record Authenticated by both of them to disburse to another account.

(i)            Advances upon Borrower’s Request .  Advances may be funded upon Lead Borrower’s request.  No request will be deemed received until Wells Fargo acknowledges receipt, and Lead Borrower, if requested by Wells Fargo, confirms the request in an Authenticated Record.  Borrower shall repay all Advances to Borrower, even if the Person requesting the Advance on behalf of Borrower lacked authorization.

 
-2-

 

(A)            Base Rate Advances .  If Borrower wants a Base Rate Advance, Lead Borrower shall make the request no later than 11:59 a.m. Eastern Time on the Business Day on which it wants the Base Rate Advance to be funded, which request shall specify the principal Advance amount being requested.

(B)            LIBOR Advances .  If Borrower wants a LIBOR Advance, Lead Borrower shall make the request no later than 11:59 a.m. Eastern Time on the Business Day on which Borrower wants the LIBOR Advance to be funded, which request shall specify both the principal Advance amount and Interest Period being requested.  No more than 3 separate LIBOR Advance Interest Periods may be outstanding at any time.  Each LIBOR Advance shall be in multiples of $500,000 and in the minimum amount of at least $500,000.  LIBOR Advances are not available for Advances made through the Loan Manager Service, and shall not be available during Default Periods.
 
 (b)
Advances to Pay Costs and Expenses or Indebtedness Due .  Wells Fargo may initiate a Base Rate Advance on the Line of Credit and apply the proceeds of such Base Rate Advance (i) to reimburse Wells Fargo for any costs or expenses incurred by Wells Fargo pursuant to Section 5.27 or Section 7.7 or (ii) to repay any Indebtedness then due and payable to Wells Fargo under the Loan Documents or (iii) to reimburse Wells Fargo for any indemnity amounts paid by Wells Fargo under the CIT Payoff Letter.

1.3A
LIBOR Advances.
 
(a)
Funding Advances as LIBOR Advances for Fixed Interest Periods .    Borrower may obtain an Advance as a LIBOR Advance for three or six periods (each period an “Interest Period”, as more fully defined in Exhibit A).

(b)
Procedure for Converting Base Rate Advances to LIBOR Advances .  Lead Borrower may request that all or any part of an outstanding Base Rate Advance be converted to a LIBOR Advance, provided that no Default Period is in effect, and that Wells Fargo receives the request no later than 11:59 a.m. Eastern Time on the Business Day on which Borrower wishes the conversion to become effective.  Each request shall (i) specify the principal amount of the Base Rate Advance to be converted, (ii) the Business Day of conversion, and (iii) the Interest Period desired. The request shall be confirmed in an Authenticated Record if requested by Wells Fargo.   Each conversion to a LIBOR Advance shall be in multiples of $500,000 and in the minimum amount of at least $500,000.

(c)
Expiring LIBOR Advance Interest Periods .  Unless Lead Borrower requests a new LIBOR Advance, or prepays an outstanding LIBOR Advance at the expiration of an Interest Period, Wells Fargo shall convert each LIBOR Advance to a Base Rate Advance on the last day of the expiring Interest Period.  If no Default Period is in effect, Lead Borrower may request that all or part of any expiring LIBOR Advance be renewed as a new LIBOR Advance, provided that Wells Fargo receives the request no later than 11:59 a.m. Eastern Time on the Business Day immediately preceding the Business Day that constitutes the first day of the new Interest Period.  Each request shall specify the principal amount of the expiring LIBOR Advance to be continued and Interest Period desired, and shall be confirmed in an Authenticated Record if requested by Wells Fargo.  Each renewal of a LIBOR Advance shall be in multiples of $500,000 and in the minimum amount of at least $500,000.

 
-3-

 

(d)
Quotation of LIBOR Advance Interest Rates .  Wells Fargo shall, with respect to any request for a new or renewal LIBOR Advance, or the conversion of a Base Rate Advance to a LIBOR Advance, provide Lead Borrower with a LIBOR quote for each Interest Period identified by Lead Borrower on the Business Day on which the request was made, if the request is received by Wells Fargo no later than 11:59 a.m. Eastern Time of the Business Day on which Lead Borrower has requested that the LIBOR Advance be made effective. If Lead Borrower does not immediately accept a LIBOR quote, the quoted rate shall expire and any subsequent request for a LIBOR quote shall be subject to redetermination by Wells Fargo.
 
(e)
Taxes and Regulatory Costs .  Borrower shall also pay Wells Fargo with respect to any LIBOR Advance all (i) withholdings, interest equalization taxes, stamp taxes or other taxes (except income and franchise taxes) imposed by any domestic or foreign governmental authority that are related to LIBOR, and (ii) future, supplemental, emergency or other changes in the LIBOR Reserve Percentage, the assessment rates imposed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, or similar costs imposed by any domestic or foreign governmental authority or resulting from compliance by Wells Fargo with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other governmental authority that are related to LIBOR but not otherwise included in the calculation of LIBOR.  In determining which of these amounts are attributable to an existing LIBOR Advance, any reasonable allocation made by Wells Fargo among its operations shall be deemed conclusive and binding.

1.4
Collection of Accounts and Application to Revolving Note.
 
(a)
The Collection Account .  Borrower has granted a security interest to Wells Fargo in the Collateral, including all of Borrower’s Accounts. Except as otherwise agreed by Borrower and Wells Fargo in an Authenticated Record, all Proceeds of Accounts and other Collateral, upon receipt or collection (including, for a period of ninety (90) days after the closing, funds received in the CIT Collection Account) shall be deposited each Business Day into the Collection Account. Funds so deposited (“Account Funds”) are the property of Wells Fargo, and may only be withdrawn from the Collection Account by Wells Fargo.

(b)
Payment of Accounts by Borrower’s Account Debtors .  Borrower shall instruct all account debtors to make payments either directly to the Lockbox for deposit by Wells Fargo directly to the Collection Account, or instruct them to deliver such payments to Wells Fargo by wire transfer, ACH, or other means as Wells Fargo may direct for deposit to the Collection Account or for direct application to the Line of Credit. If Borrower receives a payment or the Proceeds of Collateral directly, Borrower will promptly deposit the payment or Proceeds into the Collection Account. Until deposited, it will hold all such payments and Proceeds in trust for Wells Fargo without commingling with other funds or property.  All deposits held in the Collection Account shall constitute Proceeds of Collateral and shall not constitute the payment of Indebtedness.

(c)
Application of Payments to Revolving Note .  Wells Fargo will withdraw Account Funds deposited to the Collection Account and pay down borrowings on the Line of Credit by applying them to the Revolving Note on the first Business Day following the Business Day of deposit to the Collection Account, or, if payments are received by Wells Fargo that are not first deposited to the Collection Account pursuant to any treasury management service provided to Borrower by Wells Fargo, such payments shall be applied to the Revolving Note as provided in the Master Agreement for Treasury Management Services and the relevant service description.  Provided that no Default Period exists, Wells Fargo shall apply such payments to the Base Rate Advances with any excess being applied as directed by Lead Borrower.  During a Default Period, such payments shall be applied as determined by Wells Fargo in its sole discretion.

1.5
Interest and Interest Related Matters.
 
(a)
Interest Rates Applicable to Line of Credit .  Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the unpaid principal amount of each Advance evidenced by the Revolving Note shall accrue interest at an annual interest rate calculated as follows:

Base Rate

Advances = the Base Rate plus the Prime Rate Applicable Margin,   which interest rate shall change whenever the Base Rate changes

LIBOR Advance Rate for Three or Six Month Interest Periods

Advances = LIBOR plus the LIBOR Advance Rate Applicable Margin (the “LIBOR Advance Rate”)

Multiple Advances under the Line of Credit may simultaneously accrue interest at both the Base Rate and at the LIBOR Advance Rate, subject to the limitations of Section 1.3(a)(i).

The Prime Rate Applicable Margin and the LIBOR Advance Rate Applicable Margin each shall be reduced by one-quarter of one percent (0.25%) effective on April 1, 2009 (the “Interest Rate Reduction Effective Date”).  If (i) Borrower’s audited consolidated annual financial statements for Borrower’s 2009 fiscal year in accordance with Section 5.1(a) hereof indicate that Borrower failed to achieve consolidated Net Income in Borrower’s 2009 fiscal year of at least 75% of the Net Income for Borrower’s 2009 fiscal year projected in the financial projections delivered to Wells Fargo pursuant to Section G(3) of Exhibit C hereto prior to the funding of the initial Advance, (ii) Borrower fails to timely deliver Borrower’s audited consolidated annual financial statements for Borrower’s 2009 fiscal year in accordance with Section 5.1(a) hereof or (iii) Wells Fargo determines that Borrower’s audited consolidated annual financial statements for Borrower’s 2009 fiscal year have materially misstated Borrower’s financial condition, then Wells Fargo may retroactively increase the Prime Rate Applicable Margin and the LIBOR Advance Rate Applicable Margin by one-quarter of one percent (0.25%) effective from the Interest Rate Reduction Effective Date and charge Borrower such additional interest.

(b)
[ Reserved ].  

(c)
Default Interest Rate .  Commencing on the day an Event of Default occurs, through and including the date confirmed by Wells Fargo in a Record as the date that the Event of Default has been cured or waived (each such period a “Default Period”), or at any time following the Termination Date, in Wells Fargo’s sole discretion and without waiving any of its other rights or remedies, the principal amount of the Revolving Note shall bear interest at a rate that is three percent (3.00%)   above the contractual rate set forth in Section 1.5(a) (the “Default Rate”), or any lesser rate that Wells Fargo may deem appropriate, starting on the first day of the month in which the Default Period begins through the last day of that Default Period, or any shorter time period to which Wells Fargo may agree in an Authenticated Record.

(d)
Interest Accrual on Payments Applied to Revolving Note .  Payments received by Wells Fargo shall be applied to the Revolving Note as provided in Section 1.4(c), but the principal amount paid down shall continue to accrue interest through the end of the first Business Day following the Business Day that the payment was applied to the Revolving Note.

(a)
Any and all transfer taxes, documentary taxes, assessments or charges made by any governmental authority by reason of the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents, or any other document or agreement described in or related to this Agreement or the making of the Advances;
 
(b)
Any claims, loss or damage to which any Indemnitee may be subjected if any representation or warranty contained in Exhibit D proves to be incorrect in any respect or as a result of any violation of the covenants contained in Section 5.12; and
 
(c)
Any and all other liabilities, losses, damages, penalties, judgments, suits, claims, costs and expenses of any kind or nature whatsoever (including the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel) in connection with this Agreement and any other investigative, administrative or judicial proceedings, whether or not such Indemnitee shall be designated a party to such proceedings, which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any such Indemnitee, to the extent any of the foregoing is related to or arising out of or in connection with the Loan Documents and/or the making of the Advances, or the use or intended use of the proceeds of the Advances, with the exception of any Indemnified Liability caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of an Indemnitee.

-30-

 
7.15
Joint and Several Liability .

(a)
Borrower is defined collectively to include all Persons named as “Borrower” herein; provided, however, that any references herein to “any Borrower”, “each Borrower” or similar references, shall be construed as a reference to each individual Person named as Borrower herein.  Each Person so named shall be jointly and severally liable for all of the obligations of the other Persons named as “Borrower” under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.  Each Borrower, individually, expressly understands, agrees and acknowledges that the Advances and Letters of Credit would not be made available on the terms herein in the absence of the collective credit of all of the Persons named as Borrower herein, the joint and several liability of all such Persons, and the cross-collateralization of the collateral of all such Persons.  Accordingly, each Borrower, individually, acknowledges that the benefit to each of the Persons named as Borrower as a whole constitutes reasonably equivalent value, regardless of the amount of the Advances and/or Letters of Credit actually borrowed by, advanced to, or the amount of collateral provided by, any individual Borrower.  In addition, each Person named as Borrower herein hereby acknowledges and agrees that all of the representations, warranties, covenants, obligations, conditions, agreements and other terms contained in this Agreement shall be applicable to and shall be binding upon and measured and enforceable individually against each Person named as Borrower herein as well as all such Persons when taken together.  By way of illustration, but without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the terms of Section 6 of this Agreement are to be applied to each individual Person named as Borrower herein (as well as to all such Persons taken as a whole), such that the occurrence of any of the events described in Section 6  of this Agreement as to any Person named as Borrower herein shall constitute an Event of Default even if such event has not occurred as to any other Persons named as Borrower or as to all such Persons taken as a whole.
 
(b)
Notwithstanding any provisions of this Agreement to the contrary, it is intended that the joint and several nature of the liability of each Borrower for the payment of the Indebtedness evidenced by the Loan Documents and the performance of the obligations pursuant to the Loan Documents (collectively, the “Obligations”) and the Liens granted by Borrower to secure the Obligations, not constitute a Fraudulent Conveyance (as defined below). Consequently, Wells Fargo and each Borrower agree that if the liability of a Borrower for the Obligations, or any Liens granted by such Borrower securing the Obligations would, but for the application of this sentence, constitute a Fraudulent Conveyance, the liability of such Borrower and the Liens securing such liability shall be valid and enforceable only to the maximum extent that would not cause such liability or such Lien to constitute a Fraudulent Conveyance, and the liability of such Borrower and this Agreement shall automatically be deemed to have been amended accordingly.  For purposes hereof, the term “Fraudulent Conveyance” means a fraudulent conveyance under Section 548 of Chapter 11 of Title II of the Bankruptcy Code or a fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer under the applicable provisions of any fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer law or similar law of any State, as in effect from time to time.
 
(c)
Wells Fargo is hereby authorized, without notice or demand (except as otherwise specifically required under this Agreement) and without affecting the liability of any Borrower hereunder, at any time and from time to time, to (i) renew, extend or otherwise increase the time for payment of the Obligations; (ii) with the written agreement of any Borrower, accelerate or otherwise change the terms relating to the Obligations or otherwise modify, amend or change the terms of this Agreement, the Revolving Note, any Letter of Credit or any other Loan Document now or hereafter executed by any Borrower and delivered to Wells Fargo; (iii) accept partial payments of the Obligations; (iv) take and hold any collateral for the payment of the Obligations or for the payment of any guaranties of the Obligations and exchange, enforce, waive and release any such collateral; (v) after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, apply any such collateral and direct the order or manner of sale thereof that Wells Fargo, in its sole discretion, may determine; and (vi) after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, settle, release, compromise, collect or otherwise liquidate the Obligations and any collateral therefor in any manner, all surety defenses being hereby waived by each Borrower.

 
-31-

 

(d)
(1) Each Borrower hereby agrees that, except as hereinafter provided, its obligations hereunder shall be unconditional, irrespective of (i) the absence of any attempt to collect the Obligations from any obligor or other action to enforce the same; (ii) the waiver or consent by Wells Fargo with respect to any provision of any instrument evidencing the Obligations, or any part thereof, or any other agreement heretofore, now or hereafter executed by a Borrower and delivered to Wells Fargo; (iii) failure by Wells Fargo to take any steps to perfect and maintain its security interest in, or to preserve its rights to, any security or collateral for the Obligations; (iv) the institution of any proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code, or any similar proceeding, by or against a Borrower or Wells Fargo’s election in any such proceeding of the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code; (v) any borrowing or grant of a security interest by a Borrower as debtor-in-possession, under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code; (vi) the disallowance, under Section 502 of the Bankruptcy Code, of all or any portion of Wells Fargo’s claim(s) for repayment of any of the Obligations; or (vii) any other circumstance other than payment in full of the Obligations which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor or surety.
 
(2) The Persons constituting Borrower hereby agree, as between themselves, that to the extent that Wells Fargo shall have received from any Borrower any Recovery Amount (as defined below), then the paying Borrower shall have a right of contribution against each other Borrower in an amount equal to such other Borrower’s contributive share of such Recovery Amount; provided, however, that in the event any Borrower suffers a Deficiency Amount (as defined below), then the Borrower suffering the Deficiency Amount shall be entitled to seek and receive contribution from and against the other Borrowers in an amount equal to the Deficiency Amount; and provided further, that in no event shall the aggregate amounts so reimbursed by reason of the contribution of any Borrower equal or exceed an amount that would, if paid, constitute or result in a Fraudulent Conveyance.  Until all Obligations have been paid and satisfied in full, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, no payment made by or for the account of a Borrower including, without limitation, a payment made by such Borrower on behalf of the liabilities of any other Borrower, shall entitle such Borrower, by subrogation or otherwise, to any payment from such other Borrower or from or out of such other Borrower’s property.  The right of each Borrower to receive any contribution under this Section 7.15 or by subrogation or otherwise from any other Borrower shall be subordinate in right of payment to the Obligations and such Borrower shall not exercise any right or remedy against such other Borrower or any property of such other Borrower by reason of any performance of such Borrower of its joint and several obligations hereunder, until the Obligations have been indefeasibly paid and satisfied in full, and no Borrower shall exercise any right or remedy with respect to this Section 7.15  until the Obligations have been indefeasibly paid and satisfied in full.  As used in this Section 7.15, the term “Recovery Amount” means the amount of proceeds received by or credited to Wells Fargo from the exercise of any remedy of Wells Fargo under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, including, without limitation, the sale of any collateral.  As used in this Section 7.15, the term “Deficiency Amount” means any amount that is less than the entire amount a Borrower is entitled to receive by way of contribution or subrogation from, but that has not been paid by, the other Persons constituting Borrower in respect of any Recovery Amount attributable to the Borrower entitled to contribution, until the Deficiency Amount has been reduced to zero through contributions and reimbursements made under the terms of this Section 7.15 or otherwise.

 
-32-

 

 
(3) Each Borrower agrees to the provisions of the Loan Documents and hereby waives notice of (i) any loans or advances or other financial accommodations made by Wells Fargo to any Borrower, (ii) acceptance of the Loan Documents, (iii) any amendment or extension of the Revolving Note, any Letter of Credit, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (iv) the execution and delivery by any Borrower and Wells Fargo, of any other loan or credit agreement or of any Borrower’s execution and delivery of any promissory note or other document arising under the Loan Documents, (v) the occurrence of (A) any breach by any Borrower of any of the terms or conditions of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, or (B) an Event of Default, (vi) Wells Fargo’s transfer or disposition of any collateral for the Obligations, or any part thereof, (vii) the sale or foreclosure (or the posting or advertising for the sale or foreclosure) of any collateral for the Obligations, (viii) protest, proof of non-payment or default by any Borrower, or (ix) any other action at any time taken or omitted by Wells Fargo and, generally, all demands and notices of every kind in connection with this Agreement, the Loan Documents, any documents or agreements evidencing, securing or relating to the Obligations.
 
 
(4) Subject to paragraph 7.15(d)(2) above, (a) for so long as any Obligation of any Borrower to Wells Fargo, including without limitation any portion of the Loans remains outstanding, Borrower hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives, releases and abrogates, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, any and all rights it may now or hereafter have under any agreement, at law or in equity (including, without limitation, any law subrogating such Borrower to the rights of Wells Fargo), to assert any claim against or seek contribution, indemnification or any other form of reimbursement from any other Borrower for the payment of any or all of the Obligations for any payment made by any Borrower under or in connection with this Agreement or otherwise and (b) for so long as any portion of the Obligations remains outstanding, Borrower hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives, releases and abrogates, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, any and all rights it may now or hereafter have under any agreement, at law or in equity (including, without limitation, any law subrogating such Borrower to the rights of Wells Fargo), to assert any claim against or seek contribution, indemnification or any other form of reimbursement from any Borrower of any or all of the Obligations for any payment made by such Borrower under or in connection with this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, or otherwise.
 
 
(5) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, or of any other waiver or other provision set forth in this Agreement, each Borrower hereby absolutely, knowingly, unconditionally, and expressly waives any and all claim, defense or benefit arising directly or indirectly under any one or more of Sections 2787 to 2855 inclusive of the California Civil Code or any similar law of California.
 
8.1

 
BORROWER AND WELLS FARGO WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION AT LAW OR IN EQUITY OR IN ANY OTHER PROCEEDING BASED ON OR PERTAIING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT.

Fleury, Chief Executive Officer of Command Security stated, “We are encouraged by our third quarter results and solid execution during what is an increasingly challenging period across virtually all sectors of the economy.  However, one cannot ignore the magnitude of the economic uncertainty around the world and its potential impact on our business.  Specifically, the continuing capacity reductions particularly in the aviation industry have had a negative impact on our financial results.  In that regard, we remain focused on operating our assets in the most effective way possible and continuing the growth in our security services customers.  As we enter 2009, we will continue to manage expenses carefully and seek out opportunities to invest in initiatives that will enhance our long-term growth.”

Barry I. Regenstein, President of Command Security, stated, “We are pleased with our accomplishments during the third quarter as we continued to make progress against multiple growth initiatives, including top-line growth, profit margin improvement and integration of our recent acquisitions in Florida.  We expect the overall business environment will continue to be challenging, but we believe that the quality of our people, coupled with our commitment to fiscal discipline, positions us to capitalize on future opportunities.”
