"Our Commercial division continues to be a significant source of revenue as we executed well on existing projects while closing new deals.

In addition to securing various enterprise deals, in the area of broadband internet access we have continued our progress with implementation ahead of schedule at NBN Co. with over 30,000 CPEs installed, over 6,000 CPEs delivered in support of the SBBS service and a major win in our Services division with the Peruvian Ministry of Education to connect thousands of schools nationwide." "In our Defense division, although Sequestration has limited our overall visibility," continued Antebi, "we continue to deliver on new and existing projects with defense and aviation system integrators.

Notes: (1) The attached summary financial statements were prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). The attached summary financial statements are unaudited. To supplement the consolidated financial information and statements presented in accordance with GAAP, the Company presents its EBITDA before the impact of non-cash stock based compensation, depreciation and amortization, other income and other costs related to acquisition transactions.

(2) Operating income before depreciation, amortization, non-cash stock based compensation as per ASC 718 and other costs related to acquisition transactions ('EBITDA') is presented because it is a measure commonly used and is presented solely in order to improve the understanding of the Company's operating results and to provide further perspective on these results. EBITDA, however, should not be considered as an alternative to operating income or net income for the period as an indicator of the operating performance of the Company.

Similarly, EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to cash flows from operating activities as a measure of liquidity. EBITDA is not a measure of financial performance under generally accepted accounting principles and may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures for other companies. EBITDA may not be indicative of the historic operating results of the Company; nor is it meant to be predictive of potential future results. Reconciliation between the Company's Operating income and EBITDA is presented in the attached summary financial statements.
