On October 30, 2008, we issued a press release announcing our financial results for our first quarter ended September 30, 2008. The full text of the press release is furnished with this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 99.

In a conference call discussing the press release, management disclosed certain information which may be considered important to certain shareholders.

Backlog for continuing operations as of September 30, 2008 increased 9% to $19.0 million from $17.3 million as of September 30, 2007. For the Inform segment, backlog increased 15% to $10.4 million from $9.1 million last year. The backlog for the Protect and Direct segment increased 3% to $8.5 million from $8.2 million last year. Of the $19.0 million in backlog as of September 30, 2008, approximately $5 million consists of international orders.

We also discussed profitability goals over the long-term. Our gross margin should be over 40% with a more robust federal spending environment and depending upon product sales mix. With a variable contribution margin of 55% to 60%, our operating margin for the Protect and Direct segment should be in excess of 20%. Excluding unallocated corporate expenses, our break-even sales level is currently approximately $20 million a quarter.

For fiscal 2009, international sales are now expected to be approximately $32 to $35 million, which includes approximately $3 to $4 million in sales to China, compared to $24.6 million for fiscal 2008.
