                        FOREWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
  
  
       Certain statements in this Currant Report on Form 8-K constitute
  "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Federal Private
  Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. While forward-looking
  statements sometimes are presented with numerical specificity, they are
  based on various assumptions made by management regarding future events
  over which we have little or no control.  Forward-looking statements
  may be identified by words including "anticipate," "believe,"
  "estimate," "expect" and similar expressions.  We caution readers that
  forward-looking statements, including without limitation, those
  relating to future business prospects, revenues, working capital,
  liquidity, and income, are subject to certain risks and uncertainties
  that would cause actual results to differ materially from those
  indicated in the forward-looking statements.  Factors that could cause
  actual results to differ from forward-looking statements include the
  concentration of our revenues, risks involved in contracting with our
  customers, including difficulties to accurately estimate costs when
  bidding on a contract and the occurrence of start-up costs prior to
  receiving revenues and contract with fixed price provisions, government
  contracting risks, potential conflicts of interest, difficulties we may
  have in attracting and retaining management, professional and
  administrative staff, fluctuation in quarterly results, risks related
  to acquisitions and acquisition strategy, continued favorable banking
  relationships, the availability of capital to finance operations and
  ability to make payments on outstanding indebtedness, weakened economic
  conditions, acts of terrorism, risks related to competition and our
  ability to continue to perform efficiently on contracts, and other
  risks and factors identified from time to time in the reports we file
  with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), including our
  Annual Report on Form 10-K.  Should one or more of these risks or
  uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove
  incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those anticipated,
  estimated or projected.
  
       Forward-looking statements are intended to apply only at the time
  they are made.  Moreover, whether or not stated in connection with a
  forward-looking statement, the Company undertakes no obligation to
  correct or update a forward-looking statement should we later become
  aware that it is not likely to be achieved.  If the Company were to
  update or correct a forward-looking statement, you should not conclude
  that the Company will make additional updates or correction thereafter.
  
  
  Item 5.02.  Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of
  Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers: Compensatory Arrangements
  of Certain Officers
  
  
     On March 31, 2008, we received a letter from Mr. Gerald F. Ryles
  tendering his resignation from the Company's Board of Directors,
  effective April 1, 2008.
