Annual Revenues Increase 10% for Fiscal 2009
LAGRANGEVILLE, N.Y.--(Business Wire)--
Command Security Corporation (NYSE Amex: MOC) announced today its financial and
operating results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended March 31, 2009.

Revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2009 increased 6.3% to
$32,397,674, compared with revenues of $30,480,867 in the same period of the
prior year.Net loss was $123,326, or $.01 per basic and diluted share compared
with net income of $918,431, or $.09 and $.08 per basic and diluted share,
respectively, in the same period of the prior year.Operating income was
$205,745, or .6%, compared to $625,011, or 2.1% in the same period of the prior
year.

Revenues for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009 increased 9.6% to
$130,813,244, compared with revenues of $119,403,865 for the fiscal year ended
March 31, 2008.Net income decreased to $1,281,883, or $.12 and $.11 per basic
and diluted share, respectively, compared with $2,473,585, or $.23 and $.22 per
basic and diluted share, respectively, for the fiscal year ended March 31,
2008.Operating income was $3,007,641, or 2.3%, compared to $2,969,033, or 2.5%
for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008.

Revenue growth during the three months and fiscal year ended March 31, 2009 was
primarily attributable to the following events:

* The acquisitions of security services businesses in Florida and Maryland;
* The expansion of aviation services to new customers at Los Angeles
International Airport in California, and John F. Kennedy International Airport
and LaGuardia Airport in New York;
* The expansion of security services to new and existing customers, including a
major medical center, a New York based hospital and a major international
commercial bank;
* A new contract with a large grocery market distribution center in California;
and
* A new contract with a company that provides merchandising and distribution
centers to a major grocery retailer in New Jersey.

The decrease in net income for the three months and fiscal year ended March 31,
2009, compared to the corresponding periods of the prior fiscal year was
primarily attributable to a higher effective tax rate in the current year period
primarily resulting from the recognition of deferred tax assets in the fiscal
year ended March 31, 2008.

Commenting on the fiscal 2009 results, Edward S. Fleury, Chief Executive Officer
of Command Security, stated "Our experienced management team has been proactive
in implementing financial and operational programs in this challenging economic
environment.In addition to continuing to meet our top-line goals, we have and
will continue to maintain our disciplined approach towards cost and expense
management.We are managing the business prudently and making decisions for
sustained success over the long-term, including, for example, by investing in
sales and back-office efficiencies, continuing to expand our geographic
footprint and utilizing customer capacity reductions as an opportunity to reduce
overtime.We are doing all of this without compromising the quality of our
service delivery and we are confident we will emerge from this downturn as a
stronger force in the industry."

Barry I. Regenstein, President of Command Security, stated, "Our focus on
managing working capital across the business and the commitment of an expanded
revolving credit facility continues to provide the resources to implement our
strategy of expanding through organic growth and selective strategic
acquisitions."
