Explanatory Statement

Restatement of previously issued financial statements

Environmental Tectonics Corporation (“ETC” or the “Company”) has restated its previously issued financial statements for the fiscal year ended February 23, 2007 and the 13 and 39 week-periods ended November 24, 2006.

Settlement with U.S. Navy

History of the Claim Receivable

In May 2003, the Company filed a certified claim with the Department of the Navy (the “Government”) seeking costs totaling in excess of $5.0 million in connection with a contract for submarine rescue decompression chambers.

In accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, recognizing revenue on contract claims and disputes related to customer caused delays, errors in specifications and designs, and other unanticipated causes, and for amounts in excess of contract value, is generally appropriate if it is probable that the claim will result in additional contract revenue and if the Company can reliably estimate the amount of additional contract revenue the Company may receive. However, revenue recorded on a contract claim cannot exceed the incurred contract costs related to that claim. Since 2004, the Company had a claim receivable recorded for $3,004,000. The Company’s Form 10-K as originally filed for February 23, 2007 included this claim receivable. This claim receivable was subsequently deemed to be impaired and reserved in full (see below).

Litigation of the Certified Claim

On July 22, 2004, the Navy’s contracting officer issued a final decision denying the claim in full. In July 2005, the Company converted this claim into a complaint which the Company filed in the United States Court of Federal Claims. On June 14, 2007, the Government amended its filings to add counterclaims pursuant to the anti-fraud provisions of the Contract Disputes Act, the False Claims Act, and the forfeiture statute.

Settlement of Litigation and Subsequent Funding

On June 27, 2007, the Company and the Government filed a Joint Motion to Dismiss with prejudice all of the Company’s claims against the Government, which was granted on June 28, 2007. Additionally, the Company agreed to pay to the Government $3.55 million to reimburse the Government for estimated work to complete the chambers and for litigation expenses ($3.3 million recorded in the first quarter of fiscal 2008 and $250,000 recorded in the second quarter of fiscal 2008) and transfer the submarine rescue decompression chambers to the Navy. As of May 14, 2008, the Company had made all payments required under this settlement agreement and had transferred the chambers to the Government.

To partially fund the settlement, on August 23, 2007 the Company entered into the Series C Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement with H.F. Lenfest (“Lenfest”), a member of ETC’s Board of Directors and a significant shareholder, pursuant to which, among other things, ETC issued and sold 3,300 shares of its newly-created class of Series C Cumulative Convertible Participating Preferred Stock (the “Series C Preferred Stock”) to Lenfest for $3,300,000. The proceeds from the issuance of the Series C Preferred Stock were restricted solely for use to partially fund the settlement with the Government.

Audit Committee Review and Regulatory Compliance Matters

In July 2007 the Company’s Audit Committee retained independent counsel to review the Government claim issue. While this review was being conducted, the Company could not file its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q (“Quarterly Reports”), although preliminary financial results were released and filed on Form 8-K’s for each of the fiscal quarters ended May 25, 2007, August 24, 2007 and November 23, 2007. Since the Company could not file its Quarterly Reports, the Company was notified by the American Stock Exchange (“AMEX”) that it was not in compliance with AMEX’s continued listing standards and in August 2007 the Company submitted a plan to regain compliance. On January 30, 2008, the Company was notified by AMEX that, due to continuing non-compliance with listing standards, they were initiating delisting proceedings. The Company appealed that decision and, on April 9, 2008 representatives of the Company participated in an appeal hearing. As a result of that hearing, on April 16, 2008 the Company was granted a stay of delisting proceedings until May 29, 2008.

As a result of the allegations made by the Department of Justice in connection with the Navy matter, on October 12, 2007, pursuant to the Federal Acquisition Regulations, the Government placed the Company on suspension, which barred the Company from soliciting contract work with any Government agency. On December 12, 2007, the Company executed an Administrative Agreement, which included a program of compliance reviews, audits and reports, and the Government lifted the suspension.

Change in Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

Following the independent counsel’s review, the Company’s auditors, Grant Thornton LLP, resigned from the Company and rescinded their audit opinion for the fiscal years 2003 through 2007. On January 30, 2008, the Company’s Audit Committee engaged Friedman LLP as the Company’s registered public accounting firm.

Restatement of Previously Filed Financial Statements

Settlement with U.S. Navy

In November 2007, the independent counsel completed its review. Subsequently, the Company’s Audit Committee, in conjunction with management, concluded that as of November 2006 the claim receivable of $3,004,000 had been impaired.

On April 24, 2008, the Company announced that it was restating results for the 13 and 39 week-periods ended November 24, 2006 and the fiscal year ended February 23, 2007. This restatement reflected the formal investigation which concluded that the carrying value of the $3,004,000 claim receivable had been impaired during the third quarter of fiscal 2007. This impairment resulted from certain allegations made by the Government during that period which resulted in the counterclaim which was filed by the Government against the Company in June 2007.

The restatement for the 13 and 39 week-periods ended November 24, 2006 and the fiscal year ended February 23, 2007 involves one change, namely the recording of a reserve against a claim receivable for the full amount of the carrying value of $3,004,000 of the claim receivable. The effect of this adjustment results in a corresponding reduction in accounts receivable, an increase in net loss and a reduction in stockholder’s equity.

Preferred Stock

In connection with the restatement of the Company’s previously issued financial statements for the year ended February 23, 2007, the Company has reclassified the Series B and C Preferred Stock (the “instruments”) from equity to mezzanine. The reclassification is due to the preferential redemption feature of the instruments, which provides that a change in ownership would result in a forced liquidation. A forced liquidation is considered outside the control of the Company. Therefore, the preferential treatment upon an act outside the control of the Company precluded equity treatment under the Securities and Exchange Commission Accounting Series Release (“ASR”) 268 and Topic D98. Prior year’s financial statements have been adjusted to reflect this change.

Due to the Company’s accumulated deficit, all dividends accruing for the Series B and Series C Preferred Stock have been recorded in the accompanying financial statements as a reduction in additional paid-in capital.

For the discussion of the restatement adjustments, see Note 1 — Restatement of Previously Issued Financial Statements in the accompanying Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements. All amounts referenced in this Quarterly Report for the 13 and 39 week-periods ended November 24, 2006 and the fiscal year ended February 23, 2007 reflect the amounts on a restated basis.

Previously Filed Reports

The Company will not amend its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 23, 2007 or its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended November 24, 2006. The previously issued financial statements for the fiscal year ended February 23, 2007 and quarterly period ended November 24, 2006 should no longer be relied upon.

Additional Matters Regarding H.F. Lenfest

Lenfest Acquisition Proposal

On February 20, 2008, ETC received a proposal from an affiliate of Lenfest to purchase all of the publicly traded shares of the common stock of the Company not owned by Lenfest at the time the acquisition is consummated. The Board of Directors of the Company has formed a committee (the “Transaction Committee”) comprised of independent directors to evaluate the proposal. The Transaction Committee has engaged a financial advisor to assist the Transaction Committee in evaluating the proposal. The Transaction Committee is evaluating the proposal and will make a recommendation with respect to the proposal to the Company’s Board of Directors.

Lenfest Letter Agreement

On May 20, 2008, Lenfest agreed to fund all requests by ETC for funds to support its operations through June 30, 2009, on terms and conditions to be mutually agreed upon by Lenfest and ETC, provided that ETC may not request more than $10 million in the aggregate. All agreements will be subject to any required approvals including the approval of ETC’s shareholders and in accordance with the rules and regulations of AMEX, if required. ETC’s objective will be to either replace or supplant any financing provided by Lenfest with third party commitments on a best efforts basis.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Environmental Tectonics Corporation (“ETC”, “we”, “us” “our” or the “Company”), Entertainment Technology Corporation (“EnTCo”), ETC International Corporation and ETC-Delaware, its wholly-owned subsidiaries, ETC Europe, its 99% owned subsidiary, and ETC-PZL Aerospace Industries, Ltd. (“ETC-PZL”), its 95% owned subsidiary. “ETC Southampton” refers to the company’s corporate headquarters and main production plant located in Southampton, Pennsylvania, USA. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by ETC, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), and reflect all adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.

Certain information in footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America has been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations and the financial results for the periods presented may not be indicative of the full year’s results, although the Company believes the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 29, 2008, which is being filed contemporaneously with this report. The Consolidated Statement of Operations, Consolidated Balance Sheet and Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows previously filed for the fiscal year ended February 23, 2007 have been restated in the annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 29, 2008. The Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations, Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet and Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows previously filed for the quarter ended November 24, 2006 have been restated in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended November 23, 2007.

References to fiscal third quarter 2008 are references to the 13-week period ended November 23, 2007. References to the nine-months of fiscal 2008 are references to the 39-week period ended November 23, 2007. Certain amounts from prior consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the presentation in fiscal 2008.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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 the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Inventories

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market using the first in, first out (FIFO) method and consist of the following (net of reserves of $1,530,000 at November 23, 2007 and $999,000 at February 23, 2007):

Revenue Recognition

On long-term contracts, with a contract value over $250,000 and a minimum completion period of six months, the percentage-of-completion (“POC”) method is applied based on costs incurred as a percentage of estimated total costs. This percentage is multiplied by the total estimated revenue under a contract to calculate the amount of revenue recognized in an accounting period. Revenue recognized on uncompleted long-term contracts in excess of amounts billed to customers is reflected as an asset. Amounts billed to customers in excess of revenue recognized on uncompleted long-term contracts are reflected as a liability. When it is estimated that a contract will result in a loss, the entire amount of the loss is accrued. The effect of revisions in cost and profit estimates for long-term contracts is reflected in the accounting period in which the Company learns the facts which require it to revise the cost and profit estimates. Contract progress billings are based upon contract provisions for customer advance payments, contract costs incurred, and completion of specified contract milestones. Contracts may provide for customer retainage of a portion of amounts billed until contract completion. Retainage is generally due within one year of completion of the contract

Revenue for contracts under $250,000, or to be completed in less than six months, and where there are no post-shipment services included in the contract, is recognized on the date that the finished product is shipped to the customer.

Revenue derived from the sale of parts and services is also recognized on the date that the finished product is shipped to the customer. Revenue on contracts under $250,000, or to be completed in less than six months, and where post-shipment services (such as installation and customer acceptance) are required, is recognized following customer acceptance. Revenue for service contracts is recognized ratably over the life of the contract with related material costs expensed as incurred.

In accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, recognizing revenue on contract claims and disputes related to customer caused delays, errors in specifications and designs, and other unanticipated causes, and for amounts in excess of contract value, is generally appropriate if it is probable that the claim will result in additional contract revenue and if the Company can reliably estimate the amount of additional contract revenue the Company may receive. However, revenue recorded on a contract claim cannot exceed the incurred contract costs related to that claim. Claims are subject to negotiation, arbitration and audit by the customer or governmental agency.

Net loss per common share

Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No. 128, “Earnings Per Share”, requires presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share together with disclosure describing the computation of the per share amounts. Basic earnings per share excludes dilution and is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted average common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised and converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the earnings of the entity. Potentially dilutive common shares are not included in the computation of diluted earnings per common share if they are anti-dilutive.

Share-Based Compensation

The Company adopted SFAS No. 123(R) effective February 25, 2006. SFAS No. 123(R) requires the Company to recognize expense related to the fair value of stock-based compensation awards, including employee stock options. Prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R), the Company accounted for stock options using the intrinsic value method of APB Opinion No. 25, and it did not recognize compensation expense in its income statement for options granted that had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. The Company also provided certain pro forma disclosures for stock option awards as if the fair value-based approach of SFAS No. 123 had been applied.

The Company has elected to use the modified prospective transition method as permitted by SFAS No. 123(R) and therefore has not restated its financial results for prior periods. Under this transition method, the Company will apply the provisions of SFAS No. 123(R) to new awards and to awards modified, repurchased or cancelled after February 24, 2006. Additionally, for unvested awards granted prior to the effective date of the Company’s adoption of SFAS No. 123(R) which have not been fully expensed in prior years, either in the Company’s income statement or in pro forma disclosures in the notes thereto, the Company will recognize compensation expense in the same manner as was used in its income statement or for pro forma disclosures prior to the effective date of its adoption SFAS No. 123(R).

Environmental Tectonics Corporation
Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, continued

The cost for stock option compensation was $29,000 and $22,000 for the thirteen weeks ended November 23, 2007 and November 24, 2006, respectively, and $86,000 and $311,000 for the nine months ended November 23, 2007 and November 24, 2006, respectively.

As of November 23, 2007, the remaining prospective pre-tax cost of unvested stock option employee compensation was $77,000 which will be expensed on a pro-rata basis going forward.

There were no grants of stock options during the thirteen weeks periods ended November 23, 2007 or November 24, 2006.

Income Taxes

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and operating loss and tax credit carry forwards and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences and carry forwards are expected to be recovered or settled. In accordance with SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets is provided when we estimate that it is more likely than not that all or a portion of the deferred tax assets may not be realized through future operations. This assessment is based upon consideration of available positive and negative evidence, which includes, among other things, our most recent results of operations and expected profitability. During the current fiscal quarter, no offsetting income tax benefit and corresponding deferred tax receivable was recorded. The tax accrual of $5,000 in the prior fiscal period reflected tax liability in our Polish subsidiary. Realization is entirely dependent upon future earnings in specific tax jurisdictions. Reflecting the Company’s losses in the current and prior fiscal years, the Company has approximately $20.5 million of federal net loss carry forwards available to offset future income and resulting income tax liabilities, beginning to expire in 2025.

5. Long-Term Obligations and Credit Arrangements:

Bank Credit and Facility

On July 31, 2007, the Company entered into a revolving credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) in order to refinance its indebtedness with PNC Bank, National Association (“PNC”) in the aggregate amount of up to $15,000,000. This Credit Agreement is a replacement of a credit facility originally entered into with PNC in February 2003.

Borrowings are to be used for ETC’s working capital or other general business purposes and for issuances of letters of credit. Amounts borrowed under the Credit Agreement may be borrowed, repaid and reborrowed from time to time until June 30, 2009. Borrowings made pursuant to the Credit Agreement will bear interest at either the prime rate (as described in the Note) minus 1.00% or the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) (as described in the Note) plus 0.90%. Additionally, ETC is obligated to pay a fee of 0.125% per annum for unused available funds.

The Credit Agreement contains affirmative and negative covenants, including limitations with respect to indebtedness, liens, investments, distributions, dispositions of assets, change of business and transactions with affiliates. The Credit Agreement requires ETC to maintain a minimum Consolidated Tangible Net Worth of $9,000,000 at the end of each fiscal quarter.

ETC’s obligations under the Credit Agreement are secured by a personal guarantee from H.F. Lenfest, a member of the Company’s Board of Directors and a significant shareholder (“Lenfest”), under a Restated Guaranty, dated July 31, 2007, made by Lenfest in favor of PNC. ETC is required to pay Lenfest an annual cash fee of 1% of the loan commitment for his guarantee.

In connection with entering into the Credit Agreement, ETC entered into an Amended and Restated Reimbursement Agreement with PNC (the “Reimbursement Agreement”), and an Amended and Restated Subordination and Intercreditor Agreement with PNC and Lenfest (the “Subordination Agreement”). The Reimbursement Agreement governs letters of credit issued pursuant to the Credit Agreement. Under the Subordination Agreement, Lenfest agreed to continue to subordinate his rights in connection with a convertible promissory note executed by ETC in favor of Lenfest in the original aggregate principal amount of $10,000,000, dated February 18, 2003, to the rights of PNC in connection with the Line of Credit. On July 31, 2007, as a stipulation for Lenfest’s guarantee, ETC repaid $4,000,000 owed to Lenfest under unsecured promissory notes. See below.

For the purpose of reducing the risk associated with variable interest rates, ETC has entered into an interest rate swap agreement (Swap Agreement) with PNC which provides for a fixed rate through June 30, 2009, the maturity date of the Swap Agreement, for the borrowings during the first quarter of fiscal 2008. If the Swap Agreement is terminated prior to maturity, an additional payment to PNC or a credit to the Company might be due, based on the relative market rates at the time of termination. The Swap Agreement transaction has been accounted for under FAS No. 133 — “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”. 2008,

Environmental Tectonics Corporation
Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, continued

At November 23, 2007, ETC recorded a Comprehensive Loss of $118,000 in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets reflecting the relative value of the interest rate hedges at the reporting date.

At November 23, 2007, the Company had $436,000 available under the line of credit.

Long-term obligations at November 23, 2007 and February 23, 2007 consist of the following:

The interest rate in the Company’s subordinated debt agreement is 10% per annum. However, Lenfest reduced the interest rate to 8% per annum for the period December 1, 2004 through November 30, 2007.

Equity Line

On April 7, 2006, the Company entered into a Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Lenfest Equity Agreement”) with Lenfest. The Lenfest Equity Agreement permitted ETC to unilaterally draw down up to $15 million in exchange for shares of the Company’s Series B Cumulative Convertible Participating Preferred Stock (“Series B Preferred Stock”). The Series B Preferred Stock provides for a dividend equal to 6% per annum. On August 23, 2007, the dividend was amended to 10% per annum, effective from August 23, 2007. The Series B Preferred Stock is convertible, at Lenfest’s request, into ETC common shares at a conversion price (the “Conversion Price”) which was set on the day of each draw down. The Conversion Price was equal to the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the trading day immediately preceding the day in which the draw down occurs, subject to a floor price of $4.95 per common share. Drawdowns were not permitted on any day when the Conversion Price was less than this floor price. On the sixth anniversary of the Lenfest Equity Agreement, any issued and outstanding Series B Preferred Stock will be mandatorily converted into ETC common stock at each set Conversion Price. The Series B Preferred Stock will vote with the ETC common stock on an as converted basis. In connection with the execution of the Lenfest Equity Agreement, the Company drew down $3 million by issuing 3,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock with a Conversion Price equal to $4.95 per share. Additionally, on July 31, 2006, the Company drew down an additional $3 million by issuing 3,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock at a conversion price equal to $6.68 per common share. The Lenfest Equity Agreement was terminated on July 31, 2007 upon execution of the PNC Credit Agreement.

Environmental Tectonics Corporation
Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, continued

Lenfest has agreed to allow the Company to defer until maturity, or earlier if demanded, the payment of accruing dividends on all his preferred stock.

Subordinated Convertible Debt

In connection with the financing provided by PNC on February 19, 2003, the Company entered into a Convertible Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement with Lenfest, pursuant to which the Company issued to Lenfest (i) a senior subordinated convertible promissory note in the original principal amount of $10,000,000 and (ii) warrants to purchase 803,048 shares of the Company’s common stock. Upon the occurrence of certain events, the Company will be obligated to issue additional warrants to Lenfest. The Subordinated Note accrues interest at the rate of 10% per annum (Lenfest reduced the rate to 8% per annum for the period December 1, 2004 through November 30, 2007) and matures on February 18, 2009. At the Company’s option, the quarterly interest payments may be deferred and added to the outstanding principal. The Company and Lenfest have agreed to defer the quarterly interest payments. The Subordinated Note entitles Lenfest to convert all or a portion of the outstanding principal of, and accrued and unpaid interest on, the note into shares of ETC common stock at a conversion price of $6.05 per share. The warrants may be exercised into shares of ETC common stock at an exercise price equal to the lesser of $4.00 per share or two-thirds of the average of the high and low sale prices of the ETC common stock for the 25 consecutive trading days immediately preceding the date of exercise.

The obligations of the Company to Lenfest under the Subordinated Note are secured by a second lien on all of the assets of the Company, junior in rights to the lien in favor of PNC Bank, including all real property owned by the Company.

As part of the Company’s subordinated debt agreement, at the end of each fiscal quarter and fiscal year, the Company must meet three financial covenants: (a) a maximum Leverage Ratio (defined as the ratio of total debt to annualized earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) of 4.03 times; (b) a minimum Fixed Charge Ratio (defined as the ratio of the annualized sum of EBITDA minus expenditures for capital equipment and capitalized software to annualized fixed charges (interest payments, income taxes paid, and any cash dividends) of 1.06 times, and (c) a minimum Tangible Net Worth Ratio, which adjusts quarterly, based on net income and common stock proceeds.

At November 23, 2007, the Company failed to meet the covenants contained in the subordinated debt agreement but has obtained a waiver of such violations from the subordinated lender. This waiver applies to all periods through November 24, 2008. Except as specified, the waiver does not constitute a modification or alteration of any other terms or conditions in the respective agreements, or a release of any of the lender’s rights or remedies, all of which are reserved, nor does it release the Company or any guarantor from any of its duties, obligations, covenants or agreements including the consequences of any event of default, except as specified

Preferred Stock

On August 23, 2007, ETC entered into the Series C Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Series C Purchase Agreement”) with Lenfest, pursuant to which, among other things, ETC issued and sold 3,300 shares of its newly-created class of Series C Cumulative Convertible Participating Preferred Stock (the “Series C Preferred Stock”) to Lenfest for $3,300,000. The Series C Preferred Stock is convertible into shares of ETC’s common stock at a conversion price of $3.03 per share based on the closing price for ETC’s common stock on August 22, 2007, the trading day immediately prior to the transaction. The Series C Preferred Stock is convertible into 1,089,108 shares of ETC common stock. The Series C Preferred Stock provides for a dividend equal to 10% per annum. The Series C Preferred Stock is immediately convertible, at Lenfest’s request, into shares of ETC common stock at a conversion price equal to $3.03 per share. On the fifth anniversary of the Series C Purchase Agreement, any issued and outstanding Series C Preferred Stock will be mandatorily converted into ETC common stock at $3.03 per share. The Series C Preferred Stock is entitled to vote with the ETC common stock on an as converted basis.

I Environmental Tectonics Corporation
Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, continued

In connection with Lenfest’s investment in the Series C Preferred Stock, ETC agreed to amend the terms of ETC’s Series B Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series B Preferred Stock”) to (i) increase the annual dividend rate to 10%, (ii) provide for immediate conversion into common stock at the option of Lenfest, and (iii) to remove ETC’s right to redeem the Series B Preferred Stock.

Lenfest has agreed to allow the Company to defer until maturity, or earlier if demanded, the payment of accruing dividends on all his preferred stock.

Subordinated Convertible Debt Discount

During fiscal 2003, the Company had recorded $2,609,000 in additional paid-in capital representing an allocation of the proceeds from the convertible debt element of its financing with PNC and Lenfest. This allocation represents the value assigned to the beneficial conversion option of the promissory note executed in favor of Lenfest and the value of the associated warrants issued in connection with the Refinancing. Such values were derived pursuant to an independent appraisal of these financial instruments obtained by the Company.

Unsecured Promissory Notes

In addition to the Subordinated convertible debt, on November 16, 2006, the Company executed an Unsecured Promissory Note (the “Lenfest Note”) in favor of Lenfest in the aggregate principal amount of $3,000,000. Pursuant to the terms of the Lenfest Note, ETC was entitled to borrow up to $3,000,000, in increments of $1,000,000, prior to the maturity date of October 6, 2007. As of May 25, 2007, ETC owed $2,000,000 under the Lenfest Note. In June 2007, the Company drew down the remaining $1,000,000 available under the Lenfest Note. On June 28, 2007, the Company executed and borrowed under an additional Unsecured Promissory Note in favor of Lenfest in the aggregate principal amount of $1,000,000. These promissory notes were repaid in connection with the PNC Credit Agreement (see above).

The following table summarizes the subordinated convertible debt as of November 23, 2007 (unaudited):

On May 20, 2008, Lenfest agreed to fund all requests by ETC for funds to support its operations through June 30, 2009, on terms and conditions to be mutually agreed upon by Lenfest and ETC, provided that ETC may not request more than $10 million in the aggregate. All agreements will be subject to any required approvals including the approval of ETC’s shareholders and in accordance with the rules and regulations of the American Stock Exchange, if required. ETC’s objective will be to either replace or supplant any financing provided by Lenfest with third party commitments on a best efforts basis.

7. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In March 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures About Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities — an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133 (“SFAS 161”). SFAS 161 requires enhanced disclosures related to derivative and hedging activities, and thereby seeks to improve the transparency of financial reporting. Under SFAS 161, entities are required to provide enhanced disclosures relating to a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments; b) how derivatives instruments and related hedge items are accounted for under SFAS 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“SFAS 133”), and its related interpretations; and c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. SFAS 161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application encouraged. This statement shall be effective for the Company beginning November 29, 2008. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of the adoption of SFAS 161 on its consolidated financial statements.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), “Business Combinations” (“SFAS 141R”). SFAS 141R establishes principles and requirements for how an acquirer recognizes and measures its financial statements, the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree and the goodwill acquired. SFAS 141R also establishes disclosure requirements to enable the evaluation of the nature and financial effects of the business combination. This statement shall be effective for the Company beginning November 29, 2008. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of the adoption of SFAS 141 on its consolidated financial statements.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements — an amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51” (“SFAS 160”). SFAS 160 establishes accounting and reporting standards for ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent, the amount of the consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interest, changes in a parent’s ownership interest, and the valuation of retained noncontrolling equity investments when a subsidiary is deconsolidated. SFAS 160 also established disclosure requirements that clearly identify and distinguish between the interests of the parent and the interests of the noncontrolling owners. This statement shall be effective for the Company beginning November 29, 2008. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of the adoption of SFAS 160 on its consolidated financial statements.

Overview

We are principally engaged in the design, manufacture and sale of software driven products and services used to recreate and monitor the physiological effects of motion on humans and equipment and to control, modify, simulate and measure environmental conditions. These products include aircrew training systems (aeromedical, tactical combat and general), disaster management systems and services, entertainment products, sterilizers (steam and gas), environmental testing products and hyperbaric chambers and other products that involve similar manufacturing techniques and engineering technologies. We operate in two primary business segments, the Training Services Group (TSG) and the Control Systems Group (CSG).

The following factors had an adverse impact on our performance for the fiscal quarter ended November 23, 2007:

	•		continued unfavorable global economic and political conditions for our aeromedical products

	•		the cost of development and marketing efforts for our Authentic Tactical Fighting Systems (ATFS)

	•		spending to modify our main facility in Southampton, Pa., and to build equipment for the National Aerospace Training and Research (NASTAR) Center

	•		claim settlement costs and expenses related to litigation

Claims settlement costs associated with a proposed settlement with the U. S. Navy on a contract for submarine rescue chambers consist of a write off of claims and accounts receivables ($89,000) and a reserve for a payment to the Government of $3,300,000, both reflected in the first quarter of fiscal 2008, and an additional payment reserve of $250,000 reflected in the second quarter of fiscal 2008. (See Note 1 — Subsequent Events in the accompanying Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.)

	•		continued development of software for our Advanced Disaster Management Scenario product line;

	•		spending to investigate and evaluate the best way to offer disaster training services;

	•		limited revenue generation coupled with high development costs in our low-end entertainment products;

	•		higher costs of capital and amortization of deferred finance charges;

	•		cash flow;

On July 31, 2007, we completed a refinancing of our indebtedness with PNC Bank, National Association (“PNC”) in the aggregate amount of up to $15,000,000. This Credit Agreement is a replacement of a credit facility originally entered into with PNC in February 2003.

Pursuant to the terms of a Credit Agreement, dated as of July 31, 2007, between us and PNC (the “Credit Agreement”), we established a revolving line of credit with PNC in the maximum, aggregate principal amount of $15,000,000 to be used for our working capital or other general business purposes and for issuances of letters of credit. Pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement, we executed a promissory note (the “Note”) in favor of PNC, in the maximum principal amount of $15,000,000, to evidence our obligation to repay the line of credit. Amounts borrowed under the Credit Agreement may be borrowed, repaid and reborrowed from time to time until June 30, 2009.

As a stipulation for Lenfest’s guarantee, we repaid $4,000,000 owed to Lenfest pursuant to certain unsecured promissory notes. At November 23, 2007, the Company had $436,000 available under the line of credit.

On August 23, 2007, the Company entered into the Series C Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Series C Purchase Agreement”) with Lenfest, pursuant to which, among other things, ETC issued and sold 3,300 shares of its newly-created class of Series C Preferred Stock to Lenfest for $3,300,000. The proceeds from the issuance of the Series C Cumulative Convertible Participating Preferred Stock are restricted solely for use to partially fund the tentative settlement with the US Navy. (See Note 1 — Subsequent Events in the accompanying Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements).

We have recently experienced renewed customer interest in some significant international aeromedical proposals. Although these contracts may require significant bonds and letter of credits, these proposals have favorable payment terms including down payments. Although it cannot be predicted when and if any of these contracts might actually be awarded, they are another potential source of operating funds.

Given our low beginning sales backlog and ongoing difficulty in obtaining new contracts, we may need to obtain additional sources of capital in order to continue growing and operating our business. Because we have established businesses in many markets, own significant fixed assets including a building, and other business assets which can be used for security, we believe that we will be able to locate such additional sources of capital, although there is no assuredness that we will be successful in this endeavor.

Critical Accounting Policies

The discussion and analysis of the Company’s financial condition and results of operation are based upon the Company’s consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these condensed financial statements requires the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the Company’s financial statements. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Critical accounting policies are defined as those that reflect significant judgments and uncertainties, and potentially result in materially different results under different assumptions and conditions. For a detailed discussion on the application of these and other accounting policies, see Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 29, 2008, which is being filed contemporaneously with this report.

There have been no changes to our critical accounting policies since fiscal 2007 year-end. The reader is referred to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 29, 2008 in the section entitled “Critical Accounting Policies” under the Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Net Loss

The Company had a net loss of $2,098,000 or $0.26 per share (basic and diluted), during the third quarter of fiscal 2008 compared to a net loss of $4,870,000, or $0.55 per share (basic and diluted), for the third quarter of fiscal 2007, representing a decrease in net loss of $2,772,000 or 56.9%. This decrease in net loss was due primarily to reduced claim settlement costs as the third quarter of fiscal 2007 included recording of a $3,004,000 against a claim receivable of an equivalent amount associated with the U.S. Navy. (See Note 1 — Subsequent Events in the accompanying Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.)

Sales

Sales for the third quarter of fiscal 2008 were $6,701,000 as compared to $4,718,000 for the third quarter of fiscal 2007, an increase of $1,983,000 or 42.0%. The sales increase primarily reflected increases in domestic sales, most significantly environmental (up $1,990,000), service and spares (up $696,000), hyperbaric (up $610,000) and sterilizers (up $295,000). U.S. government sales increased $416,000 reflecting a contract for a Tactical Aircraft Configuration (“TacModule”) for the U.S. Navy.

Domestic Sales

Overall, domestic sales in the third quarter of fiscal 2008 were $4,575,000 as compared to $1,054,000 in the third quarter of fiscal 2007, an increase of $3,521,000 or 334.1%, reflecting the aforementioned increases in most produce categories. Domestic sales represented 68.3% of the Company’s total sales in the third quarter of fiscal 2008, up from 22.3% for the third quarter of fiscal 2007. U.S. Government sales in the third quarter of fiscal 2008 were $443,000 as compared to $27,000 in the third quarter of fiscal 2007 and represented 6.6% of total sales in the third quarter of fiscal 2008 versus 0.6% for the third quarter of fiscal 2007.

International Sales

International sales for the third quarter of fiscal 2008 were $1,683,000 as compared to $3,637,000 in the third quarter of fiscal 2007, a decrease of $1,954,000 or 53.7%, and represented 25.1% of total sales, as compared to 77.1% in the third quarter of fiscal 2007. The decrease reflected significantly reduced performance in both ETC Southampton and in ETC-PZL, the Company’s Polish subsidiary. ETC Southampton primarily evidenced reduced sterilizer sales, while ETC-PZL’s performance in the prior period included contract work for a simulator for L-3. Throughout the Company’s history, most of the sales for PTS have been made to international customers. In the third quarter of fiscal 2008 are export sales (which includes sales of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries) of $1,683,000. Of this amount, there are sales of 10% or more to or relating to governments or commercial accounts in Indonesia ($259,000), Thailand ($339,000), Japan ($183,000), and Poland ($170,000). In the third quarter of fiscal 2007, international sales totaling at least ten percent of total international sales were made to or relating to government or commercial accounts in Japan ($615,000), Australia ($662,000) and a domestic customer purchasing from ETC-PZL ($892,000).

Fluctuations in sales to international countries from year to year primarily reflect POC revenue recognition on the level and stage of development and production on multi-year long-term contracts.

Gross Profit

Gross profit for the third quarter of fiscal 2008 was $1,222,000 as compared to $1,030,000 in the third quarter of fiscal 2007, an increase of $192,000 or 18.6%. This increase reflected the higher sales volume offset in part by a reduction gross profit rate as a percentage of sales to 18.2% as compared to 21.8% last year. The reduced gross profit rate primarily reflected a reduced gross profit rate in ETC-PZL.

Selling and Administrative Expenses

Selling and administrative expenses for the third quarter of fiscal 2008 were $2,785,000 as compared to $2,568,000 in the third quarter of fiscal 2007, an increase of $217,000 or 8.5%. This increase was primarily the result of higher legal costs.

Claim Settlement Costs

There were no claim settlement costs in the third quarter of fiscal 2008. The third quarter of fiscal 2007 reflected the recording of a $3,004,000 against a claim receivable of an equivalent amount associated with the U.S. Navy. (See Note 1 — Subsequent Events in the accompanying Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.)

Research and Development Expenses

Research and development expenses, which are charged to operations as incurred, were $64,000 for the third quarter of fiscal 2008 as compared to $43,000 for the third quarter of fiscal 2007. Most of the Company’s research efforts, which were and continue to be a significant cost of its business, are included in cost of sales for applied research for specific contracts, as well as research for feasibility and technology updates.

Interest Expense

Interest expense for the third quarter of fiscal 2008 was $406,000 as compared to $291,000 for the third quarter of fiscal 2007, representing an increase of $115,000 or 39.5%. The increase reflected higher interest expense reflecting new borrowings and higher amortization expense related to the beneficial feature of the Company’s subordinated debt and the value assigned to warrants which were issued with the subordinated debt as part of the Company’s February 2003 Refinancing.

Other Income/Expense, Net

Other income/expense, net, was a net expense of $61,000 for the third quarter of fiscal 2008 versus a net income of $43,000 for the third quarter of fiscal 2007, an increase of $104,000. This increase primarily reflected higher franchise taxes and foreign exchange loss.

Net Loss

The Company had a net loss of $10,793,000, or $1.24 per share (basic and diluted), during the thirty-nine week period ended November 23, 2007 compared to a net loss of $9,049,000, or $1.02 per share (basic and diluted), for the first nine months of fiscal 2007, representing an increase in net loss of $1,744,000, 19.3%. This increase in net loss resulted from higher general and administrative and claim settlement costs and interest expense, partially offset by the increased sales level and resulting higher gross profit.

Sales

Sales for the thirty-nine week period ended November 23, 2007 were $15,295,000 as compared to $13,622,000 for the same period of fiscal 2007, an increase of $1,673,000 or 12.3%. The sales increase reflected a significant increase in domestic and U.S. government sales which was only partially offset by an equally significant decrease in international sales.

Domestic Sales

Overall, domestic sales in the thirty-nine week period ended November 23, 2007 were $9,416,000 as compared to $4,270,000 in the same period of fiscal 2007, an increase of $5,146,000 or 120.5%. The sales increase reflected significant increases across all product categories in the CSG segment which was only partially offset by decreases in all product categories in TSG. Sterilizers were up $1,242,000, 64.4%, environmental products were up $2,315,000, 453.9%, hyperbaric chambers were up $1,190,000, 356.3%, and parts and service was up $943,000, 137.3%.

Domestic sales represented 61.6% of the Company’s total sales in the thirty-nine week period ended November 23, 2007, up from 31.4% for the same period of fiscal 2007. U.S. Government sales in the thirty-nine week period ended November 23, 2007 were $1,090,000 as compared to $445,000 in the same period of fiscal 2007

and represented 7.1% of total sales in the thirty-nine week period ended November 23, 2007 versus 3.3% for the same period of fiscal 2007.

International Sales

International sales for the thirty-nine week period ended November 23, 2007 were $4,789,000 as compared to $8,907,000 in the same period of fiscal 2007, a decrease of $4,118,000 or 46.2%, and represented 31.3% of total sales, as compared to 65.3% in the same period of fiscal 2007. Significant reductions were evidenced in pilot training systems (down $2,056,000, 39.1%), sterilizers (down $809,000, 77.3%), and hyperbaric products (down $359,000, 55.4%). Throughout fiscal 2008 the international market has been weak as opposed to domestic activity. However, large contract bookings near fiscal third quarter end should result in higher sales for the international category going forward. During the thirty-nine week period ended November 23, 2007, there were sales to or relating to governments or commercial accounts in Indonesia ($1,302,000), Thailand ($482,000) and Poland ($703,000). During the thirty-nine week period ended November 24, 2006, international sales totaling at least ten percent of total international sales were made to or relating to commercial accounts in Japan ($3,127,000) and a domestic customer purchasing from ETC-PZL ($1,195,000). Fluctuations in sales to international countries from year to year primarily reflect POC revenue recognition on the level and stage of development and production on multi-year long-term contracts.

Gross Profit

Gross profit for the thirty-nine week period ended November 23, 2007 was $2,660,000 as compared to $2,538,000 in the same period of fiscal 2007, a slight increase of $122,000 or 4.8%. This increase reflected the aforementioned higher sales level which was only partially offset by a slight (1.2 percentage point) decrease in the gross profit rate as a percent of sales.

Selling and Administrative Expenses

Selling and administrative expenses for the thirty-nine week period ended November 23, 2007 were $8,219,000 as compared to $7,204,000 in the same period of fiscal 2007, an increase of $1,015,000 or 14.1%. The increase primarily reflected higher claim and legal costs resulting from the U.S. Navy claim issue.

Claim Settlement Costs

Claims settlement costs consist of a write off of claims and contract accounts receivables of $89,000 in fiscal 2008 and $3,004,000 for a reserve against a claim receivable of an equivalent amount in fiscal 2007 and a reserve for a tentative settlement payment to the U.S. Government of $3,550,000. (See Note 1. Subsequent Events in the accompanying Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.)

Research and Development Expenses

Research and development expenses, which are charged to operations as incurred, were $355,000, which is net of monies due under a NASA grant of $232,000, for the thirty-nine week period ended November 23, 2007 as compared to $529,000 for the same period of fiscal 2007. Most of the Company’s research efforts, which were and continue to be a significant cost of its business, are included in cost of sales for applied research for specific contracts, as well as research for feasibility and technology updates.

Interest Expense

Interest expense for the thirty-nine week period ended November 23, 2007 was $1,146,000 as compared to $857,000 for the same period of fiscal 2007, representing an increase of $289,000 or 33.7%. The increase reflected higher interest expense reflecting new borrowings and higher amortization expense related to the beneficial feature of the Company’s subordinated debt and the value assigned to warrants which were issued with the subordinated debt as part of the Company’s February 2003 Refinancing.

Other Income/Expense, Net

Other income/expense, net, was a net expense of $102,000 for the thirty-nine week period ended November 23, 2007 (fiscal 2008) versus a net income of $36,000 for the same period of fiscal 2007, an increase of $138,000. This increase primarily reflected foreign exchange losses in our Polish subsidiary coupled with higher franchise taxes and bank charges in ETC Southampton.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company has historically financed operations through a combination of cash generated from operations, equity offerings, subordinated borrowings and bank debt.

On July 31, 2007, we completed a refinancing of our indebtedness with PNC in the aggregate amount of up to $15,000,000. This refinancing is a replacement of a credit facility originally entered into with PNC in February 2003.

Pursuant to the terms of a Credit Agreement with PNC (the “Credit Agreement”), ETC established a revolving line of credit with PNC in the maximum, aggregate principal amount of $15,000,000 to be used for ETC’s working capital or other general business purposes and for issuances of letters of credit. Pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement, ETC executed a Note in favor of PNC, in the maximum principal amount of $15,000,000, to evidence ETC’s obligation to repay the line of credit. Amounts borrowed under the Credit Agreement may be borrowed, repaid and reborrowed from time to time until June 30, 2009.

On August 23, 2007, the Company entered into the Series C Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Series C Purchase Agreement”) with Lenfest pursuant to which, among other things, ETC issued and sold 3,300 shares of its newly-created class of Series C Cumulative Convertible Participating Preferred Stock to Lenfest for $3,300,000. The proceeds from the issuance of the Series C Preferred Stock are restricted solely for use to partially fund the tentative settlement with the US Navy. (See Note 1 — Subsequent Events in the accompanying Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements).

Lenfest has agreed to allow the Company to defer until maturity, or earlier if demanded, the payment of accruing dividends on all his preferred stock.

Subsequent Events

On May 20, 2008, Lenfest agreed to fund all requests by ETC for funds to support its operations through June 30, 2009, on terms and conditions to be mutually agreed upon by Lenfest and ETC, provided that ETC will not request more than $10 million in the aggregate (the “Lenfest Letter Agreement”). All agreements will be subject to any required approvals including the approval of ETC’s shareholders and in accordance with the rules and regulations of AMEX, if required. ETC’s objective will be to either replace or supplant any financing provided by Lenfest with third party commitments on a best efforts basis.

We believe that existing cash balances at November 23, 2007, cash generated from operating activities, future availability under the Credit Agreement and the Lenfest Letter Agreement will be adequate to meet our future obligations through at least June 30, 2009.

During the thirty-nine weeks ended November 23, 2007, operating activities required $4,143,000 of our cash versus $8,351,000 for the corresponding prior period. This improvement reflected significant cash generated from all current liability categories aided by less usage for costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted long-term contracts. Partial offsets were increased usages for the allowance for accounts receivables, inventories and the net loss.

Our investing activities required $3,694,000 during the thirty-nine weeks ended November 23, 2007, consisting primarily of the continued construction of our NASTAR center versus $283,000 for the corresponding period of the prior year. This increase reflected a ramp-up of construction activities and the manufacturing of demonstration simulators for our NASTAR Center coupled with higher capitalized software for our advanced tactical fighter systems technology.

Our financing activities generated $6,482,000 during the thirty-nine weeks ended November 23, 2007 primarily reflecting the borrowing of $8,810,000 under the PNC Line of Credit (See Note 5. Long-Term Debt and Credit Obligations in the accompanying Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.)Additionally, although the Company received $3,300,000 from the issuance to Lenfest of Series C Preferred Stock, these proceeds were restricted solely for use to partially fund the tentative settlement payment with the U. S. Navy.

Backlog

Our sales backlog at November 23, 2007 and February 23, 2007, for work to be performed and revenue to be recognized under written agreements after such dates, was $40,590,000 and $13,564,000, respectively. In addition, our training, maintenance and upgrade contracts backlog at November 23, 2007 and February 23, 2007, for

work to be performed and revenue to be recognized after such dates under written agreements was $1,266,000 and 1,276,000, respectively. Of the November 23, 2007 sales backlog, we have contracts totaling approximately $25,408,000 for aircrew training contracts including $16,076,000 for Saudi Arabia and $4,189,000 for Turkey.

Our order flow does not follow any seasonal pattern as we receive orders in each fiscal quarter of our fiscal year.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Control and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company’s management conducted an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Based on this evaluation, the principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective solely due to the fact that there was a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting (which is a subset of disclosure controls and procedures) as described below. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that it will detect or uncover failures within the Company to disclose material information otherwise required to be set forth in the Company’s periodic reports.

(b) Management’s Assessment of ETC’s Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f). Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on our evaluation under the framework in Internal Control — Integrated Framework, our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of November 23, 2007 and we do not expect to have all of our material weaknesses corrected until August 29, 2008, which is the end of the Company’s second quarter of fiscal 2009,

Material Weaknesses

A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected in a timely basis. Management identified the following material weaknesses in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting:

	•		The Company did not file its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended May 23, 2007, August 24, 2007 and November 23, 2007 on a timely basis.

	•		Management had a lack of expertise in accounting for complex transactions.

	•		The Company lacked an independent review of the accounting records.

	•		Management exhibited a lack of training in compliance with government contracts.

Remediation of Material Weaknesses

On December 12, 2007 the Company entered into an Administrative Agreement with the Department of the Navy. This agreement includes a program of compliance reviews, audits and reports. As part of the agreement, key personnel will receive training in acceptable government contracting practices and procedures.

On February 22, 2008, the Company and the U.S. Navy finalized a settlement agreement which concluded all open matters related to the Company’s claim with the U.S. Navy.

On May 29, 2008 the Company filed contemporaneously with the Annual Report on Form 10- K the previously unfilled Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarters ended May 23, 2007, August 24, 2007 and November 23, 2007.

Additional highly skilled staff has been hired in the Company’s accounting department.

Should additional control deficiencies or material weaknesses be identified, they may have an adverse impact on our business and results of operations or our ability to timely make required SEC filings in the future.

Other than to address the material weaknesses discussed above, there was no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during our most recently completed fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

U.S. Navy — See Note 1 — Subsequent Events in the accompanying Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Walt Disney World Co.

In June 2003, Entertainment Technology Corporation (“EnTCo”), our wholly owned subsidiary, filed suit against Walt Disney World Co. and other entities (“Disney”) in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, alleging breach of contract for, among other things, failure to pay all amounts due under a contract for the design and production of the amusement park ride “Mission: Space” located in Disney’s Epcot Center. In response, in August 2003, Disney filed counterclaims against both EnTCo and ETC (under a guarantee) for, among other things, alleged failures in performance and design in the contract. Disney alleges damages in ranging form $36 million to $65 million plus punitive damages (collectively, the “2003 Litigation”). In December 2005, EnTCo filed a second lawsuit against Disney, alleging breach of confidentiality and unfair trade practices (the “2005 Litigation”). The 2003 Litigation has been stayed until the 2005 Litigation is ready for trial. We believe that we have valid defenses to the counterclaims asserted by Disney in the 2003 Litigation. We are not able to predict the outcome of the 2003 Litigation. On March 26, 2008, the Court granted summary judgment in favor of Disney and against the Company and dismissed the Company’s claim in the 2005 Litigation. On April 7, 2008, the Company filed a motion for reconsideration asking the Court to reconsider its March 2008 decision in the 2005 Litigation. The motion for reconsideration had not been decided as of the filing date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Other Matters

Certain other claims, suits, and complaints arising in the ordinary course of business have been filed or are pending against us. In our opinion, after consultation with legal counsel handling these specific matters, all such matters are reserved for or adequately covered by insurance or, if not so covered, are without merit or are of such kind, or involve such amounts, as would not have a significant effect on our financial position or results of operations if disposed of unfavorably.
