LAGRANGEVILLE, N.Y., Aug. 11, 2005 (PRIMEZONE) -- Command Security Corporation (OTCBB:CMMD) announced today its results for the first fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2005.
Revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2005, increased $1,739,890, or 9.1%, to $20,908,637, compared with revenues of $19,168,747 in the same period of the prior year. The increase in revenues for the three month period was primarily due to expanded services being provided to new and existing airline customers.
Operating income for the three months ended June 30, 2005, was $306,646, compared with an operating loss of $344,317 in the same period of the prior year.
Net income applicable to common stockholders for the three months ended June 30, 2005, was $250,182, compared with a net loss applicable to common stockholders of $478,461 in the same period of the prior year.
Net income per common share for the three months ended June 30, 2005 was $.03, and net loss per common share for the three months ended June 30, 2004, was $.08. Diluted earnings per share were $.03 for the three months ended June 30, 2005. Command does not present diluted loss per common share for the three months ended June 30, 2004, because the effect of the assumed issuance of common shares upon the exercise of outstanding warrants and stock options was antidilutive.
"We are pleased with our revenue growth and first fiscal quarter profitability, which was generally in line with our expectations," said Barry Regenstein, Chief Operating Officer and Chief Financial Officer of Command Security Corporation. He added, "Our success is a direct reflection of the talent and effort of individuals throughout the company."
