Our Global Services Division’s revenues were $10.7 million for the three months ended November 30, 2008. Global Services Division consists of revenues from our recently acquired subsidiaries Luceo, eBAS and Aveeva. Our Global Services Division’s operating income for the three months ended November 30, 2008 was $730,000. Our Systems Division’s total revenues decreased $15.3 million, or 20.5%, to $59.3 million for the three months ended November 30, 2008, compared to $74.6 million for the three months ended November 30, 2007. Operating income for our Systems Division for the three months ended November 30, 2008 decreased by 52.0%, or $1.3 million, to $1.2 million, compared to $2.5 million for the three months ended November 30, 2007. The decreases in revenues and operating income experienced in the Systems Division are primarily due to an overall decrease in our clients’ IT spending, particularly in our commercial business and in various Federal governmental agencies and the State of New Jersey. We believe that this decrease in revenues can be attributed to the current economic downturn.

Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization expenses (EBITDA) for the quarter ended November 30, 2008 was $2.5 million compared to $2.8 million for the quarter ended November 30, 2007. EBITDA represents a non-GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) financial measure. A table reconciling this measure to net income, the most directly comparable GAAP measure is included in this release.

“In light of the current economic downturn, I am pleased that our team has worked diligently to produce these positive results,” said Dinesh Desai, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Emtec. “Our strategy of building our Global Service Division has cushioned the slowdown experienced in our Systems Division.”
