Examples include the Security Service (MI5) and the Secret Intelligence Service (MI6) in the United Kingdom, and the  during the first quarter of fiscal 2010 under a new contract to provide such services to a major transportation company at approximately 120 locations in twenty-one states throughout the eastern and western regions of the United States United States, officially United States of America, republic (2005 est. pop. 295,734,000), 3,539,227 sq mi (9,166,598 sq km), North America.

, grocery and technology industries; and

* The acquisition of security services businesses in Florida providing services primarily to the property management and healthcare industries.

The decrease in operating and net income for the three and six months ended September 30, 2009 compared to the corresponding periods of the prior fiscal year was due mainly to: (i) the loss of a contract with a major airline customer to provide skycap, wheelchair and cargo services at John F. Kennedy International Airport

; (ii) reductions in service hours for several of our airline and security services customers primarily resulting from a downturn in their respective businesses; (iii) higher workers' compensation reserves associated with increased potential future costs for certain existing claims; and (iv) higher general and administrative expenses associated with expanded operations.

Commenting on the results from the second fiscal quarter of 2010, Edward S. Fleury, Chief Executive Officer of Command Security, stated, "While pleased with our top-line growth, we implemented a number of cost reduction initiatives during the second fiscal quarter to reduce operating and/or general and administrative expenses during the remainder of fiscal 2010 and beyond. The key theme for the second quarter was operating discipline. Our efforts to drive sales and gross profit growth are continuing, and we believe our team is well equipped to add value to our customers. My primary focus is to ensure that Command is continuing to execute well and that we are building a foundation for sustainable long-term growth. As previously stated, we also made some difficult but necessary decisions to reduce our expenses during the quarter. We expect that the combination of these actions will make us a leaner but stronger organization focused on maximizing the value of our assets for our shareholders."

Barry I Regenstein, President of Command Security, stated, "Since the beginning of the year we remained unwavering in our focus to manage the business for the future, despite a very challenging economic environment, which makes our cost reduction and control efforts a continuing priority. We continue to steadily move forward on our stated strategy to seize opportunities both via organic growth and acquisition. We believe that the key business initiatives put in place to realize that strategy are providing a pathway for achieving our stated long-term financial goals in an economy that continues to improve."
