Amendment No. 1

The Section entitled “Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Data—Cash Flow Projections” on page 35 of the Offering Memorandum shall be amended and restated as follows:

Cash Flow Projections

In our quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2007 we included in Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, Liquidity and Capital Resources, a table of projected cash inflows and outflows for the remainder of calendar year 2007. The projection of cash inflows and outflows was not prepared with a view to compliance with the published guidelines of the Securities and Exchange Commission regarding projections, nor were they prepared in accordance with the guidelines established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants for preparation and presentation of financial projections. Moreover, our accountants have not examined, compiled or applied any procedures to the projections in accordance with standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants and express no opinion or any assurance on their reasonableness, accuracy or achievability. These forward-looking statements reflect numerous assumptions made by our management. In addition, factors such as industry performance, general business, economic, regulatory, and market and financial conditions, all of which are difficult to predict, may cause the projections or the underlying assumptions to be inaccurate. Accordingly, there can by no assurance that the projections will be realized and actual results may be materially more or less favorable that those contained in the projections.

The inclusion of the projections in this offering memorandum should not be regarded as an indication that we, our board of directors, or any of our financial advisors considered or consider the projections to be a reliable prediction of future events and the projections should not be relied upon as such. Neither we, our board of directors or our financial advisors intends to update or otherwise revise the projections to reflect circumstances existing after the date when made or to reflect the occurrence of future events even in the event that any or all of the assumptions underlying the projections are shown to be in error or to otherwise have changes.

As of March 31, 2007, we had $12.3 million in cash and cash equivalents on hand. In addition, as of March 31, 2007, we held restricted cash in the amount of $7.2 million that represented prepayments under a contract with an agency of the federal government to construct substantial building improvements for their benefit at one of our payload processing facilities. The restricted cash is excluded from our projections of cash inflows and outflows. The analysis did not give effect to the consummation of the exchange offer, which if consummated will result in a cash reduction of approximately $750,000 in the first and second quarters of our fiscal year 2008.

Below are the quarterly cash flow projections for the remainder of calendar year 2007, which include all of the $10.3 million of Junior Notes and $1.8 million of interest being paid when due. In addition, below is a reconciliation of available cash assuming that $7.4 million of Junior Notes and $1.5 million of interest on Junior Notes and Senior Notes exchange.
