The negative sales variance is due almost entirely to a historically low sales level of core chemical light products to the US military under one of the Company's military contracts. The low sales volume was due to order processing and inventory stocking issues. These issues have been resolved and the Company is already witnessing significant new orders under that specific contract. While first quarter sales were substantially below the previous year, the results were consistent with the expectations that the Company had communicated during its end of year earnings call.
Alternatively, sales for the 40 mm training ammunition continue to strongly grow. New orders from Rheinmetall for the MK281 will allow the Company to meet or surpass its expectations with that product line.
During the first quarter, the Company took some aggressive action to reduce operating expenses. The changes were a combination of reductions due to lower production levels as well as permanent cost savings initiatives. The changes were estimated to amount to an annualized savings of approximately $1 million. The increased sales levels the Company is now experiencing is requiring us to roll back much of the savings initiative but we will continue to realize some savings and improved operational efficiency as a result.
Comparable GAAP amounts and a reconciliation to GAAP are later contained in this release.
Derek Dunaway, Cyalume's President and CEO, said, "I am glad to report that the first quarter results were not due to any long term issues but rather small short term problems that caused supply interruptions and hindered order processing. The outlook for the second quarter is much more positive. While April continued to be slow, the Company has finally begun to see a turn around in May. During the first two weeks of May, we have seen more orders for our core products than we saw during the entire first quarter. We are confident that the issues that had caused the slow down in military orders have been resolved and we will continue to see a flow of orders consistent with historical levels as well as pent up demand, which will allow us to catch up on some of the revenue that was not realized during the first quarter. As evidenced by the activity we have seen in the second quarter already, demand for some of our products is as strong if not stronger than ever, and our core business remains extremely healthy. We expect much of the lost sales to be recouped during the third quarter. We are of course very encouraged by the performance of our ammunition product and the continued success of our partnership with Rheinmetall."

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.
