Excluding the impact of the previously announced acquisitions of Extech Instruments Corporation and Cedip Infrared Systems, revenue increased by 32% compared to the second quarter of 2007.

Revenue from the Company’s Government Systems division increased 46% over the second quarter of 2007, to a record $131.6m, driven by strength in airborne and land-based applications.

Revenue from the Company’s Thermography division increased 40% over the second quarter of last year, to $80.6m. Excluding the impact of the Extech Instruments Corporation and Cedip Infrared Systems acquisitions, Thermography revenue increased 16% during the second quarter, due to strong demand for the T-Series, i5, and R&D product lines.

The backlog of firm orders for delivery within the next twelve months was approximately $572m at June 30, 2008, an increase of $101m compared with backlog at March 31, 2008. Backlog in the Government System’s division was $464m, up $93m during the quarter due to strong order activity both in the U.S. and internationally. Backlog in the Commercial Vision System’s division was $86m, up $6m during the quarter. Backlog in the Thermography division was $22 million, up $2 million during the quarter.
Cash provided by operations during the quarter was $8.2m. In addition, the Company received $30.8m from cash receipts and tax benefits from the exercise of stock options.

“The second quarter was another outstanding quarter for the Company, as we set quarterly records for orders, backlog, revenue, and operating profit,” noted Earl R. Lewis, President and CEO. “Demand was excellent, particularly in our Government Systems division, and backlog at the end of the quarter was again at a record level.
