Backlog as of September 30, 2005, was $14.8 million or $2.2 million below the June 30, 2005, backlog of $17 million, which represents the continued progress on completing two of our larger projects in the New York metropolitan market.
Jim Henry, Chief Executive Officer of Henry Bros. said, "We've made significant progress this quarter recognizing our backlog, and remain well positioned for future sales growth going forward. We continue to actively pursue homeland security projects within the New York Metropolitan area, and believe that due to our incumbencies with various large transportation authorities and our industry expertise to meet their needs in a cost effective manner, we will realize increased opportunity within this vertical market in the coming year. We have made considerable progress this quarter pursuing these projects, which traditionally have a long sell cycle."
"With our recent acquisition of Securus Inc., we've expanded our national presence into Colorado, which has consistently ranked among the top 10 fastest growing markets in the U.S. for the past five years. This acquisition opens the door to a number of opportunities for us based on our entry into this high growth market and our ability to leverage expanded capabilities and relationships from the acquisition in order to effectively pursue new business. As we work to integrate our two companies, we also expect to achieve operational efficiencies, which should create improved economies ofscale and operating leverage going forward," added Mr. Henry.
"We remain on track to meet our annual guidance for 2005 sales to be in the range of $36 to $40 million and net income for the year to be between $1.0 and $1.2 million, or $0.17 to $0.21 per share, with a target operating margin of 5 percent," concluded Mr. Henry.
