The problem the company faced during the first quarter related to its core military chemical light business persisted through the middle of the second quarter, but was then resolved. During the first half of the second quarter the company continued to see low military sales but once the issue was resolved sales of military chem-lights rebounded to historical levels. The company did see a slowdown in European sales as the impacts of the global economic crisis continue to be felt and result in an overall tightening of the European military budgets.

Cyalume's ammunition business continues to thrive with ammunition revenue increasing 133% from Q2 of 2008 versus Q2 of 2009 and 42% from Q1 to Q2 of 2009. The company has received purchase orders from its partner, Rheinmetall, that will ensure continued record sales of ammunition through the remainder of the year.

Comparable GAAP amounts and a reconciliation to GAAP are later contained in this release.

Derek Dunaway, Cyalume's President and CEO, said "As we anticipated in the first quarter, we have seen a turnaround from the slow start to the year. Clearly, the low first quarter sales were not due to any long term reduction in demand for our products. Though Q2 U.S. military sales are down compared to the prior year, we did see more than a 50% increase in U.S. military chemical sales from Q1 to Q2 of 2009. The outlook for the third quarter remains positive. While we will likely continue to experience softness in the European military and commercial areas, ammunition, U.S. military chemical and reflective products are expected to have a strong second half of the year."

Results of Operations -- Adjusted Basis

Adjusted net income is an alternative view of performance used by management and we believe that investors' understanding of our performance is enhanced by disclosing this information. We define adjusted net income as the net income of Cyalume excluding amortization expense. The adjusted net income measure is not, and should not be viewed as, a substitute for U.S. GAAP net income. Adjusted net income is an important internal measurement for us. We measure the performance of the overall Company on this basis. The following are examples of how we use adjusted net income:



 * Senior management receives a monthly analysis of our operating
   results that is prepared on an adjusted net income basis;
 * Our annual budget for 2009 is prepared on an adjusted net income
   basis
 * Certain annual compensation computations, including annual cash
   bonuses, are calculated in part on an adjusted net income basis.

Despite the importance of this measure to management in goal setting and performance measurement, we stress that adjusted net income is a non-GAAP financial measure that has no standardized meaning under U.S. GAAP and therefore, has limits in its usefulness to investors. Due to its non-standardized definition, adjusted net income (unlike U.S. GAAP net income) may not be comparable with the calculation of similar measures for other companies. Adjusted net income is presented solely to permit investors to more fully understand how management assesses our performance.

Adjusted EBITDA (a Non-GAAP Financial Measure)

Cyalume defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation, amortization, foreign currency gains or losses and one time income or expense items. Management uses Adjusted EBITDA for establishing internal budgets, goals and performance bonuses. Internal financial reports including those provided to the Board of Directors, focus on Adjusted EBITDA. Since Adjusted EBITDA is not necessarily an indicator of overall cash flows of Cyalume, management reviews capital budgets and cash flow forecasts in parallel with Adjusted EBITDA analysis. Because Adjusted EBITDA eliminates interest expense, income taxes and depreciation, amortization and one-time income or expense items, Cyalume considers this financial measure an important indicator of Cyalume's liquidity, operational strength and performance. Investors may find Adjusted EBITDA useful as it illustrates underlying operating trends in Cyalume's business.

In addition, components of Adjusted EBITDA are a key component in the determination of our compliance with certain covenants under our credit agreements. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation, or as a substitute for net income, cash flows, or other consolidated income or cash flow data presented in accordance with GAAP or as a measure of our liquidity or financial condition. Because Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure determined in accordance with GAAP and is thus susceptible to varying calculations, Adjusted EBITDA as discussed may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.

The use of Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental liquidity measure is useful as it assists management in understanding and evaluating the Company's capacity, excluding the impact of interest, taxes, and non-cash depreciation and amortization charges, for servicing debt and other cash needs, prior to our consideration of the impacts of other potential sources and uses of cash, such as working capital items. Investors may find it useful for these purposes as well. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered an alternative to, or more meaningful than, net cash provided by operating activities, as determined in accordance with GAAP, since it omits the impact of interest, taxes and changes in working capital that use or provide cash (such as receivables, payables and inventories) as well as the sources or uses of cash associated with changes in other balance sheet items (such as long-term loss accruals and deferred items). Because Adjusted EBITDA excludes depreciation and amortization, Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect any cash requirements for the replacement of the assets being depreciated and amortized, which assets will often have to be replaced in the future. Further, Adjusted EBITDA, because it also does not reflect the impact of debt service, income taxes, cash dividends, capital expenditures and other cash commitments, does not represent how much discretionary cash we have available for other purposes. Nonetheless, Adjusted EBITDA is a key measure expected by and useful to our investors, rating agencies and the banking community in the analysis of a Company's ability to service debt, fund capital expenditures and otherwise meet cash needs, respectively. Cyalume also evaluates Adjusted EBITDA because it is clear that movements in these non-GAAP measures impact the Company's ability to attract financing. Adjusted EBITDA, as calculated, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
