GLENROSE INSTRUMENTS INC.

Notes to Interim Financial Statements (Unaudited) for the period ending September 28, 2008

Note 1 – Organization and Significant Accounting Policies

Organization

GlenRose Instruments Inc., a Delaware corporation, was incorporated in September 2005 by the GlenRose Partnership LP, (“GlenRose Partnership”), a private-equity partnership with its headquarters in Waltham, Massachusetts. The company was organized to serve as a holding company through which the GlenRose Partners would hold the shares of Eberline Services, Inc. (“Eberline Services” or “ESI”) (all of which had previously been held by the GlenRose Partnership). In order to effect such change in structure, the GlenRose Partnership entered into a stock exchange agreement with the company in September 2005 pursuant to which all outstanding shares of Eberline Services owned by the GlenRose Partnership were exchanged for 3,000,000 shares of common stock of GlenRose Instruments. As a result of this exchange, the GlenRose Partnership owned all of the outstanding stock of the company, and the company owned all of the outstanding stock of its subsidiary, ESI.

On August 30, 2007, the company issued 102,647 shares to a limited number of accredited investors through a private placement of common stock at a price per share of $7.00. On December 31, 2007, the limited partners and the general partner of the GlenRose Partnership dissolved the partnership and distributed the 3,000,000 shares of common stock of GlenRose Instruments to its limited partners in accordance with the GlenRose Partnership plan of liquidation and distribution.

On July 25, 2008, the company entered into subscription agreements with four (4) investors for the sale of convertible debentures in the aggregate principal amount of $14,875,000. The debentures bear interest at 4%, payable quarterly in cash, and mature on July 25, 2013. The debentures are convertible at the option of the holder at any time into shares of common stock at an initial conversion price equal to $7.00 (see Note 2).

GlenRose Instruments, through Eberline Services and its subsidiaries, provides radiological services and operates a radiochemistry laboratory network, as well as provides radiological characterization and analysis, hazardous, radioactive and mixed waste management, and facility, environmental, safety, and health management. The subsidiaries of Eberline Services are Eberline Services Hanford, Inc. (“ESHI”), Eberline Analytical Corporation (“EAC”), Benchmark Environmental Corp., and Lionville Laboratory Inc. (“Lionville”).

Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the company and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated. In the opinion of management, the unaudited financial statements contain all adjustments (all of which were considered normal and recurring) necessary to present fairly the company's financial position at September 28, 2008, and the results of operations and cash flows for the three and nine months ended September 28, 2008 and September 30, 2007. The unaudited financial statements included herein should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 30, 2007.

Fiscal Year

The company’s fiscal year-end is the last Sunday of each calendar year. Each quarter is comprised of two four-week and one five-week period to ensure consistency in prior-year comparative analysis. The company changed the fiscal year-end to the current format in 2006. The previous fiscal year-end was December 30, 2007.

Use of Estimates in Preparation of Statements

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or GAAP, requires management to make estimates and underlying assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

GLENROSE INSTRUMENTS INC.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments, which potentially subject the company to concentrations of credit risk, consist of highly liquid cash equivalents and trade receivables. The company’s cash equivalents are placed with high-credit, quality financial institutions and issuers. The company performs periodic credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition and generally does not require collateral. The company provides for an allowance for doubtful accounts on receivable balances based upon the expected collectability of such receivables. Federal and state governments collectively account for more than 90% of all revenues for the three month periods ended September 28, 2008 and September 30, 2007. Only two of the company’s customers account for more than 10% of revenue and trade accounts receivable. One customer represented approximately 66% and 63% of revenue and 45% and 40% of trade accounts receivable for the three months ended September 28, 2008 and September 30, 2007, respectively and approximately 68% and 67% of revenue and 45% and 40% of trade accounts receivable for the nine month periods ended September 28, 2008 and September 30, 2007, respectively. The other customer represented approximately 13% and 15% of revenue and 12% and 18% of trade accounts receivable for the three months ended September 28, 2008 and September 30, 2007, respectively and approximately 45% and 40% of revenue and 12% and 18% of trade accounts receivable for the nine month periods ended September 28, 2008 and September 30, 2007, respectively.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue for lab services, which are generally short-term, is recognized upon completion of the services and any required quality control procedures. Revenue for government service contracts is recognized as the services are performed. Revenues are recognized based upon actual costs incurred plus specified fees or actual time and materials as required. The company performs certain contracts that are audited by either the Defense Contract Audit Agency (“DCAA”) or Los Alamos National Laboratories (“Los Alamos”) Internal Audit. Such contracts may be subject to adjustment dependent upon such factors as provisional billing rates or other contract terminology. Calculations of allowable overhead and profit may also change after audits by the DCAA for cost reimbursable type contracts. Contracts are normally settled during the audit year the contract terminates performance and is submitted for closure. The company is currently audited and settled through December 2004 for all contracts subject to review by DCAA and audited through December 2002 for contracts subject to review by the Los Alamos Internal Audit. Contracts performed before either 2004 or 2002 respectively that are either active or have not been submitted for closure may be subject to adjustment during subsequent audits during the year they are closed and audited.

The company performs services under numerous subcontract agreements on cost-reimbursable contracts with the federal government. During the period 1998 to 2003, the company was party to a subcontract agreement with Johnson Control Northern New Mexico (“JCNNM”) to provide services to Los Alamos on a cost-reimbursable basis. On May 14, 2007, the company received notification from IAP-Northern New Mexico (“IAPNNM”), the successor corporation to JCNNM that the results of a Los Alamos audit for the period ending in 2003 determined that certain costs previously claimed and billed by the company were subsequently deemed unallowable or otherwise not reimbursable. IAPNNM requested that the company reimburse the amount of $321,836 that was paid to the company during the subject time period. The company is currently in the process of reviewing the subject audit reports from Los Alamos Internal Audit and the DCAA, and is currently unable to state whether or not it agrees with this determination. In the event it is determined that the company has to reimburse such amount in full, the resultant cost would materially affect its results of operations.

The company is engaged principally in three types of service contracts with the federal government and its contractors:

Cost Reimbursable Contracts. Revenue from “cost-plus-fixed-fee” contracts is recognized on the basis of reimbursable contract costs incurred during the period plus an earned fee. Costs incurred for services which have been authorized and performed, but may not have been billed, are allocated with operational fringe, overhead, general and administrative expenses and fees, and are presented as Unbilled Contract Receivables on our balance sheet contained herein.

Time-and-Materials Contracts. Revenue from “time and material” contracts is recognized on the basis of man-hours utilized plus other reimbursable contract costs incurred during the period.

Fixed-Price Contracts. Revenue from “fixed-price” contracts is recognized on the percentage-of-completion method. For fixed-price contracts, the amount of revenues recognized is that portion of the total contract amount that the actual cost expended bears to the anticipated final total cost based on current estimates of cost to complete the project (cost-to-cost method). However, when it becomes known that the anticipated final total cost will exceed the contract amount, the excess of cost over the contract amount is immediately recognized as a loss on the contract. Recognition of profit commences on an individual project only when cost to complete the project can reasonably be estimated and after there has been some meaningful performance achieved on the project (greater than 10% complete). Changes in job performance, job conditions, and estimated profitability, including those arising from contract penalty provisions (when applicable) and final contract settlements, may result in revisions to costs and income and are recognized in the period in which the revisions are determined.

Direct costs of contracts include direct labor, subcontractors and consultants, materials and travel. The balance of costs, including facilities costs, insurance, administrative costs, overhead labor and fringe costs, are classified as either indirect costs or general and administrative expense, and are allocated to jobs as a percentage of each division’s total cost base. Provision for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts is made in the period in which such losses are determined. Claims and change orders are not recorded and recognized until such time as they have been accepted.

GLENROSE INSTRUMENTS INC.

Goodwill

Goodwill is the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of identifiable net assets acquired in business combinations. Goodwill is subject to an impairment test in the fourth quarter of each year. Goodwill is also reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Goodwill for the Eberline Services unit in the amount of $2,740,913 was tested in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 142-“Goodwill and Other Intangibles” as of December 30, 2007 and was not considered to be impaired. No events occurred or circumstances changed that required the company to further test goodwill for impairment during either of the three or nine month periods ending September 28, 2008.

Earnings per Common Share

The calculation of earnings per common share is based on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the applicable period.

Stock Based Compensation

The company accounts for share-based compensation arrangements in accordance with SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), Share Based Payment, or SFAS 123(R). SFAS 123(R) requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the income statement based on their fair values.

During the nine-month periods ended September 28, 2008, and September 30, 2007, the company recognized employee non-cash compensation expense of $220,808 and $0, respectively, related to the issuance of restricted stock and stock options. At September 28, 2008 there were 15,000 unvested shares of restricted stock outstanding. The total compensation cost related to stock options and restricted stock awards not yet recognized as of September 28, 2008 is $368,760. The cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.75 years. The determination of the fair value of share-based payment awards is affected by our stock price. The company considered the sales price of common stock in private placements to unrelated third parties during the year as a measure of the fair value of its common stock.

SFAS 123(R) also requires companies to utilize an estimated forfeiture rate when calculating the expense for the period. As a result, we applied an estimated forfeiture rate of 5.2% in determining the expense recorded in the accompanying consolidated statement of income. Forfeitures are estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. Stock-based compensation expense recognized in our financial statements is based on awards that are ultimately expected to vest. The company evaluates the assumptions used to value our awards on a quarterly basis and if factors change and we employ different assumptions, stock-based compensation expense may differ significantly from what we have recorded in the past. If there are any modifications or cancellations of the underlying unvested securities, the company may be required to accelerate, increase or cancel any remaining unearned stock-based compensation expense.

See Note 4 for a summary of the restricted stock and stock option activity under our stock-based employee compensation plan for the period ended September 28, 2008.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised), “Business Combinations”, replacing FASB SFAS No. 141. Under SFAS No. 141 (revised) an acquirer is required to recognize at fair value the assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree at the acquisition date. SFAS No. 141 requires that acquisition costs and expected restructuring costs be recognized separately from the acquisition, and that the acquirer in a business combination achieved in stages recognize the identifiable assets and liabilities, as well as the non-controlling interest in the acquiree, at the full amounts of their fair values. This statement also requires an acquirer to recognize assets acquired and liabilities assumed rising from contractual contingencies as of the acquisitions date, and an acquirer is only required to recognize assets or liabilities arising from all other contingencies if it is more likely than not that they meet the definition of an asset or a liability. Under this statement, an acquirer is required to recognize contingent consideration at the acquisition date. Further, this statement eliminates the concept of negative goodwill and requires gain recognition in instances in which the total acquisition-date fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired exceeds the fair value of the consideration transferred plus any non-controlling interest in the acquiree. SFAS 141(R) is effective for the company for acquisitions that occur beginning in 2009. Because the pronouncement is to be applied prospectively, there will be no impact on the company’s current financial statements as a result of adopting SFAS 141(R).

GLENROSE INSTRUMENTS INC.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements—an amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51” (“SFAS 160”). SFAS 160 clarifies the classification in a company’s consolidated balance sheet and the accounting for and disclosure of transactions between the company and holders of noncontrolling interests. SFAS 160 is effective for the company at the beginning of 2009. Because the pronouncement is to be applied prospectively, there will be no impact on the company’s current financial statements as a result of adopting SFAS 160.

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities — an amendment of SFAS No. 133” (“SFAS No. 161”). SFAS No. 161 changes the disclosure requirements for derivative instruments and hedging activities. This standard requires enhanced disclosures about how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, how instruments are accounted for under SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” and how derivatives and hedging activities affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance and cash flows. This standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008. The Company does not expect SFAS 161 to have a material impact on its results of operations and financial condition.

In May 2008, FASB issued SFAS No. 162,“The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles”, or SFAS 162. SFAS 162 identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles to be used in the preparation of financial statements that are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. SFAS 162 is effective 60 days following the SEC’s approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board amendments to AU Section 411, “The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.” The Company does not expect SFAS 162 to have a material impact on its results of operations and financial condition.

Note 2 - Debt

On July 25, 2008, the company entered into subscription agreements with four (4) investors for the sale of convertible debentures in the aggregate principal amount of $14,875,000. The primary investor was Blum Strategic Partners IV, L.P., who subscribed for $12,000,000 of the debentures. Additional investors included John N. Hatsopoulos, the company’s Chairman of the Board, Arvin H. Smith, the company’s President and Chief Executive Officer, and Philip Frost M.D., a holder of more than 10% of the outstanding equity securities of the company immediately prior to the sale of the debentures, who subscribed for $2,875,000 of debentures by forgiving existing promissory notes of the company in exchange for debentures. The debentures bear interest at 4%, payable quarterly in cash, and mature on July 25, 2013. The debentures will be convertible at the option of the holder at any time into shares of common stock at an initial conversion price equal to $7.00. In connection with the transaction the company appointed John Park to the company’s Board of Directors. Ladenburg Thalman & Co., Inc., a registered broker-dealer, acted as placement agent on a best efforts basis for the sale of the company’s debentures. In connection with the transaction, the company paid the placement agent a cash fee of $600,000.

On July 25, 2008 the company paid in cash the principal amount on its remaining subordinated promissory note due 2011. In connection with that transaction, the company made a payment of $500,000 to Richard Chapman, the company’s Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer.

Note 3 - Commitments

The company and its subsidiaries lease facilities and equipment under various operating leases. Future minimum rental commitments for long-term, non-cancelable operating leases at September 28, 2008 are as follows:

Summary of Lease Obligations:

	2008		2009		Totals

Facilities	$	75,544	$	198,207	$	273,751

Note 4 – Stockholders’ Equity

Common Stock

On August 30, 2007, the company issued 102,647 shares to a limited number of accredited investors through a private placement of common stock at a price per share of $7.00 resulting in proceeds net of costs to the company of $687,417.

Stock Based Compensation

In September 2005, the company adopted a stock option plan under which the board of directors may grant incentive or non-qualified stock options and stock grants to key employees, directors, advisors, and consultants of the company.

The maximum number of shares of stock allowable for issuance under the plan is 700,000 shares of common stock, including 15,000 restricted shares as of September 28, 2008. Stock options granted under the plan are exercisable within a seven-year period from the date of grant and vest based upon the terms within the individual option grants, usually over a five-year period at 20% per year, with an acceleration of the unvested portion of such options upon a liquidity event, as defined in the company’s stock option agreement. The options are not transferable except by will or domestic relations order. The option price per share under the plan is not less than the fair market value of the shares on the date of the grant. The number of securities remaining available for future issuance under the plan was 467,000 at September 28, 2008.

The determination of the fair value of share-based payment awards is affected by our stock price. The company considered the sales price of common stock in private placements to unrelated third parties during the year as a measure of the fair value of its common stock. The company’s most recent private placement of common stock was in August of 2007 at a price of $7.00 per share.

At September 28, 2008, there were 15,000 unvested shares of restricted stock outstanding. In 2007, the company granted nonqualified options to purchase 230,000 shares of the common stock to 44 employees at $7.00 per share that vest over 5 years. The fair value of each option grant is estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The fair value is then amortized on an accelerated basis over the requisite service periods of the awards, which is generally the vesting period. Use of a valuation model requires management to make certain assumptions with respect to selected model inputs. Expected volatility of 33.3% was calculated based on the average volatility of 20 companies in the same industry as GlenRose Instruments. The average expected life of 5 years was estimated using the simplified method for “plain vanilla” options as permitted by FASB Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107. The risk-free interest rate of 3.84% is based on U.S. Treasury zero-coupon issues with a remaining term which approximates the expected life assumed at the date of grant. As of September 28, 2008, the compensation expense recognized for all stock-based awards is net of estimated forfeitures of 5.2%. The fair value using the Black-Scholes option pricing model is $2.53 per option.

Stock option activity for the period ending September 28, 2008 was as follows:

				Exercise		Weighted		Weighted
				Price		Average		Average		Aggregate
	Number of			Per		Exercise		Remaining		Intrinsic
	Options			Share		Price		Life		Value

Vested & Exercisable, September 28, 2008		-

In 2007, the company made restricted stock grants to 3 of its directors by permitting them to purchase an aggregate of 15,000 shares of common stock at a price of $0.01 per share. Those shares have a vesting schedule of 25% of the shares on the first anniversary of the grant date, and then an additional 25% on each of the subsequent three anniversaries, provided that none of the shares will vest until 90 days after the company’s initial listing on a securities exchange or an over-the-counter bulletin board. All of the shares become vested shares upon a change in control prior to a termination event. Restricted stock activity for the period ending September 28, 2008 was as follows:

Note 6 – Fair Value Measurements

SFAS 157 defines and establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. In accordance with SFAS 157, we have categorized our financial assets and liabilities, based on the priority of the inputs to the valuation technique, into a three-level fair value hierarchy as set forth below. If the inputs used to measure the financial instruments fall within different levels of the hierarchy, the categorization is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement of the instrument. The three levels of the hierarchy are defined as follows:

Level 1 — Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. We currently do not have any Level 1 financial assets or liabilities.

Level 2 — Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1. Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in non-active markets, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets and inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

Level 3 — Unobservable inputs reflecting management’s own assumptions about the input used in pricing the asset or liability. We currently do not have any Level 3 financial assets or liabilities.

At September 28, 2008, the company had $4,515,695 in short-term investments that are comprised of Certificates of Deposits which are categorized as Level 2. The investments are carried at fair market value, which approximates cost.

GLENROSE INSTRUMENTS INC.

Note 7 - Segment Data

The company’s executive officers include Arvin Smith, Dr. Richard Chapman, and Dr. Shelton Clark. Collectively, they are the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) as defined by SFAS No. 131 “Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information”. The office of the CODM is responsible for assessing the performance of each segment, as well as the allocation of company resources. Other than general and administrative services incurred at GlenRose, ESI currently constitutes 100% of the activity of the company. Costs incurred by GlenRose are aggregated and reported separately from the Eberline Services activity.

The company currently operates three business segments: Environmental Services, Analytical Laboratories and Instruments. ESI maintains separate general and administrative functions consisting of all executive management, business development, accounting & finance, and human resource personnel that support the entire business. The Environmental Services provide engineering and technical support to Los Alamos, the Department of Energy’s (“DOE”) Hanford Site (“Hanford”), as well as other government and commercial agencies. The Analytical Laboratories consist of four separate labs serving a wide variety of federal, state and local governments. The labs are located in Richmond, CA, Albuquerque, NM, Oak Ridge, TN, and Exton, PA. A dedicated lab manager is responsible for the operation of each lab. Management monitors the performance of each lab separately. Intercompany costs and sales are eliminated in the consolidated financial statements.

The Instruments segment was formed in 2006 with the intent to include the company’s future instrument related acquisitions. Analytical instruments use a variety of highly sophisticated measurement technologies and are used by the scientific community, the government and industry to perform basic research, applied research and development, process monitoring and control, and many other applications. The company’s strategy will be to acquire instrument companies, which have well-established and proven technology and increase their operating margins and revenues using techniques developed by the company’s management team during the course of their careers in the analytical instruments industry. The company has identified a number of companies with revenues of between $10-35 million as potential acquisition targets for the Instruments segment, however, as of the date of this report the company has not made any commitments, nor has it acquired any instrument businesses. The company’s segment data show all general and administrative costs related to the Instruments segment captured during the period.

Item 2: Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following information should be read in conjunction with the unaudited condensed consolidated financial information and the notes thereto included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. In addition to historical information, the following discussion and other parts of this Quarterly Report contain forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. Actual events or results may differ materially due to competitive factors and other factors discussed or referred to in Item1A, Risk Factors, and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report. These factors may cause our actual results to differ materially from any forward-looking statement.

Third quarter 2008 compared with Third Quarter 2007

Revenues

Revenues in the third quarter of 2008 were $8,506,786 compared to $8,423,556 for the same period in 2007, an increase of $83,230 or 1.0%. The increase in revenues was primarily due to an increase in our Environmental Services revenues, which was partially offset by a decrease in our Analytical Laboratory revenue. The increase in the services revenue was associated with additional work at the Hanford site and at the Los Alamos National Laboratory.

Revenues from our Environmental Services in the third quarter of 2008 were $6,441,341 compared to $6,251,402 for the same period in 2007, an increase of $189,939 or 3.0%. Our Environmental Services contributed 75.7% to total revenues in the third quarter of 2008 versus 74.2% in the third quarter of 2007. The increase in revenues was primarily due to additional work at the Hanford site and at the Los Alamos National Laboratory.

Revenues from our Analytical Laboratories in the third quarter of 2008 were $2,065,445 compared to $2,172,154 for the same period in 2007, a decrease of $106,709 or 4.9%. Our Analytical Labs contributed 24.3% to total revenues in the third quarter of 2008 versus 25.8% in the third quarter of 2007. The decrease in revenues was primarily due to lower sample volume.

Cost of Sales

The cost of sales in the third quarter of 2008 was $7,890,058 compared to $7,679,154 for the same period in 2007, an increase of $210,904 or 2.7%. The increase in cost of sales was primarily due to increased reimbursable subcontracts and other reimbursable direct costs.

The cost of sales from our Environmental Services in the third quarter of 2008 was $5,882,406 compared to $5,680,540 for the same period in 2007, an increase of $201,866 or 3.6%. The cost of sales from our Analytical Laboratories in the third quarter of 2008 was $2,007,652 compared to $1,998,614 for the same period in 2007, an increase of $9,038 or 0.5%.

Gross Profit

Gross profit in the third quarter of 2008 was $616,728 compared to $744,402 for the same period in 2007, a decrease of $127,674 or 17.2%. The gross profit margin decreased to 7.2% in the third quarter of 2008 from 8.8% in the third quarter of 2007. The decrease in the quarterly gross profit was primarily due to a reduction in our Analytical Laboratory revenue and the completion of fixed unit rate remediation projects in Kentucky and New Mexico.

The gross profit from our Environmental Services in the third quarter of 2008 was $558,935 compared to $570,862 for the same period in 2007, a decrease of $11,927 or 2.1%. The gross profit from our Analytical Laboratories in the third quarter of 2008 was $57,793 compared to $173,540 for the same period in 2007.

Operating Expenses

General and administrative expenses in the third quarter of 2008 were $745,569 compared to $738,528 for the same period in 2007, an increase of $7,041 or 1.0%. Our general and administrative costs remained relatively stable as compared with the general and administrative costs a year ago.

Operating Income (Loss)

The operating loss in the third quarter of 2008 was $128,841, compared to an operating income of $5,874 for the same period in 2007. The operating loss was primarily due to a reduction in our Analytical Laboratory revenues and costs associated with moving the Lionville facility and a reduction in more profitable fixed unit-rate environmental contracts. The re-location of the Lionville Laboratory began in the third quarter and will be able to assume full operation in the new facility in the fourth quarter.

GLENROSE INSTRUMENTS INC.

Other Income (Expense)

Other expenses in the third quarter of 2008 were $88,938 compared to $59,615 for the same period in 2007, an increase of $29,323 or 49.2%. Interest and other income was $59,322 in the third quarter of 2008 compared to $6,460 in the third quarter of 2007. The increase was primarily due to the interest associated with the convertible debenture raised during the quarter. Interest expense was $148,260 in the third quarter of 2008 compared to $66,075 in the third quarter of 2007, due to interest expense on our outstanding debt, interest expense on our convertible debenture and the amortization of deferred financing costs.

Provision for Income Taxes

We recorded no tax benefit or provision in the third quarter of 2008 compared to a tax provision of $129,231 for the same period in 2007.

Net Loss

We incurred a net loss of $217,779 in the third quarter of 2008 compared to a net loss of $182,972 for the same period in 2007.

First Nine Months 2008 compared with First Nine Months 2007

Revenues

Revenues in the first nine months of 2008 were $25,056,930 compared to $24,708,899 for the same period in 2007, an increase of $348,031 or 1.4%. The increase in revenues was primarily due to increased work scope at the Environmental Services segment, which was partially offset by a decrease in our Analytical Laboratory segment.

Revenues from our Environmental Services in the first nine months of 2008 were $19,468,799 compared to $19,002,634 for the same period in 2007, an increase of $466,165 or 2.5%. Our Environmental Services contributed 77.7% to total revenues in the first nine months of 2008 versus 76.9% in the first nine months of 2007. The increase in revenues was primarily due to increased work scope at the Hanford site and Los Alamos National Laboratory, offset by lower revenues in the non-government environmental services contract.

Revenues from our Analytical Laboratories in the first nine months of 2008 were $5,588,131 compared to $5,706,265 for the same period in 2007, a decrease of $118,134 or 2.1%. Our Analytical Labs contributed 22.3% to total revenues in the first nine months of 2008 versus 23.1% in the first nine months of 2007. The decrease in revenues was primarily due to lower sample volume across the entire business segment.

Cost of Sales

The cost of sales in the first nine months of 2008 was $23,612,601 compared to $22,882,455 for the same period in 2007, an increase of $730,146 or 3.2%. The increase in cost of sales was primarily due to increased direct labor at our Department of Energy sites, increased reimbursable travel expenses and increased reimbursable subcontract expenses.

The cost of sales from our Environmental Services in the first nine months of 2008 was $17,827,162 compared to $16,960,990 for the same period in 2007, an increase of $866,172 or 5.1%. The cost of sales from our Analytical Laboratories in the first nine months of 2008 was $5,785,439 compared to $5,921,465 for the same period in 2007, a decrease of $136,026 or 2.3%.

Gross Profit (Loss)

Gross profit in the first nine months of 2008 was $1,444,329 compared to $1,826,445 for the same period in 2007, a decrease of $382,116 or 20.9%. The gross profit margin decreased to 5.8% in the first nine months of 2008 from 7.4% in the first nine months of 2007. The decrease in the quarterly gross profit was primarily due to the completion of two fixed unit rate commercial contracts that had higher margins. Historically, fixed-price and fixed-unit rate commercial projects afford a higher gross profit margin than cost-type government contracts.

GLENROSE INSTRUMENTS INC.

The gross profit from our Environmental Services in the first nine months of 2008 was $1,641,637 compared to $2,041,644 for the same period in 2007, a decrease of $400,007 or 19.6%. The gross loss from our Analytical Laboratories in the first nine months of 2008 was $197,308 compared to $215,199 for the same period in 2007.

Operating Expenses

General and administrative expenses in the first nine months of 2008 were $2,003,159 compared to $2,051,365 for the same period in 2007, a decrease of $48,206 or 2.3%. The general and administrative cost decrease was due to staff reductions and other cost controls.

Operating Loss

The operating loss in the first nine months of 2008 was $558,830, compared to $224,920 for the same period in 2007. The increase operating loss was due to the overall reduction in commercial services contracts.

Other Income (Expense)

Other expenses in the first nine months of 2008 were $240,202 compared to $164,021 for the same period in 2007, an increase of $76,181 or 46.4%. Interest and other income was $68,329 in the first nine months of 2008 compared to $41,584 in the first nine months of 2007. The increase was primarily due to the interest associated with the convertible debenture raised during the quarter. Interest expense was $308,531 in the first nine months of 2008 compared to $205,605 in the first nine months of 2007, interest expense on our outstanding debt, interest expense on our convertible debenture and the amortization of deferred financing costs.

Provision for Income Taxes

We recorded no tax benefit or provision in the first nine months of 2008 compared to a tax provision of $4,671 for the same period in 2007.

Net Loss

We incurred a net loss of $799,032 in the first nine months of 2008 compared to a net loss of $393,613 for the same period in 2007.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Consolidated working capital at September 30, 2008 was $14,296,941, compared to $2,578,668 at December 30, 2007. Included in working capital were cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of $11,368,584 as of September 29, 2008, compared to $1,206,722 at December 30, 2007. The increase in working capital was a result of cash raised from the convertible debenture offering.

Cash used by operating activities was $412,369 in the first nine months of 2008, compared to cash used by operating activities of $156,008 in the first nine months of 2007. Our net receivables balance increased to $3,161,601 in the first nine months of 2008 compared to $2,977,812 at December 30, 2007, primarily due to increased aging of our fixed price laboratory contracts resulting in a decrease in cash of $183,789. Our unbilled contract receivables increased to $1,045,222 in the first nine months of 2008, compared to $952,339 at December 30, 2007, resulting in a decrease in cash of $92,883. The increase in the unbilled contract receivables is primarily due to the timing of the recognition of a pension payment that was not billed until October 2008. Our prepaid expenses decreased to $181,130 in the first nine months of 2008, compared to $301,962 at December 30, 2007, resulting in an increase in cash of $120,832. The decrease in the prepaid expenses is primarily due to the normal expensing of prepaid insurance during the year. Other receivables increased to $78,737 in the first nine months of 2008, compared to $16,177 at December 30, 2007, resulting in a decrease in cash of $62,560 due to the deposit requirements for the new Lionville facility.

Accounts payable decreased to $648,636, in the first nine months of 2008, compared to $803,220 at December 30, 2007, primarily due to the timing of payments, resulting in a decrease in cash of $154,584. Other accrued liabilities, including accrued expenses, accrued employee-related costs, income taxes payable and other long-term liabilities, increased to $1,926,420, in the first nine months of 2008 compared to $1,693,712 at December 30, 2007, primarily due to an increase in accrued employee related costs, resulting in an increase in cash of $232,708. Our accrued interest balance associated with the subordinated notes decreased to $455,883 in the first nine months of 2008, compared to $812,883 at December 30, 2007, resulting in a decrease in cash of $357,000, due to payments on the accrued interest on our subordinated notes.
