I simply never heard of. Cyalume (CYLUW.OB) is another company with such a unique product that there really is no viable alternative, but that is due to rare and unusual circumstances (market size has traditionally been too small for large companies to undertake the necessary R&D, and CYLU has literally 100% of the government contracts for their core products, making it impossible for a smaller company to catch up R&D-wise without substantial financial backing).

Cyalume Technologies: Addressing the Environmental Protection Agency’s Concerns With Innovative Light Technology

Everyone knows what traditional roadside flares are. If you don’t have them in your car, you might want to look into acquiring a few as they provide critical safety light to alert oncoming traffic at accident scenes and vehicle breakdowns. The only problem is that traditional roadside flares present many safety and environmental issues. In fact, government agencies and commercial companies have in recent years begun to move away from using conventional incendiary flares due to the pollution, fire hazards and liability that they can cause. Now the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has voiced concern over one of the principal chemicals found in these flares, perchlorate. Fortunately, Cyalume Technologies (OTCBB:CYLU), the world leader in chemical-light technology, developed the SnapLight® 8” Flare Alternative product to address these concerns.

In speaking before a Senate committee in the end of January, the EPA’s Administrator Lisa Jackson announced that the EPA would move to curb the levels of perchlorate found in drinking water throughout the United States. Perchlorate, both a naturally occurring and man-made chemical that is used in the manufacture of rocket fuel, fireworks, explosives and the aforementioned roadside flares, has been linked to thyroid problems in pregnant women and young children. According to the EPA, data show that in the U.S. more than 4 percent of public water systems have detected perchlorate and between 5 million and 17 million people may be served drinking water containing perchlorate. Fortunately for the millions of safety professionals and consumers who depend on traditional roadside flares there is an alternative product on the market that directly addresses the EPA’s concerns. Cyalume’s patented environmentally-friendly Next Generation Flare™ uses non-toxic ultra high-intensity chemical-light that is 100% perchlorate-free. The SnapLight® 8” Flare Alternative with reflective strip enhances visibility up to one mile. Since it is not pyrotechnic, it cannot cause the hard to extinguish fires associated with conventional flares. More information about the product can be found by visiting: www.flarealternative.com.

While representing only a small part of its overall business, the SnapLight® 8” Flare Alternative product is a great example of Cyalume’s successful track record of bringing to market innovate new products that leverage the breakthrough advancements the Company has made in its underlying chemical-light technology. For example, the company just recently announced the launch of a new chemical-light shotgun shell tracer that targets the large global sports shooting market. In addition, the Company is partnering with General Dynamics to develop a whole host of small, medium and large caliber ammunition projects that target the multi-billion dollar military ammunition market. As the exclusive supplier to militaries in the U.S. and NATO countries for all of their chemical-light products and with a strategy of bringing to market unique environmentally-friendly products, Cyalume is poised for continued success.

Great article on Cyalume: Cyalume Technologies: An Innovative Light Company that Deserves a Spotlight

All too often in the small and mid-cap markets, “less-than-deserving” companies are surrounded by a frenzy of investors speculating about the potential of a company. On other occasions, solid companies go relatively unnoticed by the investment community for no apparent reason. Cyalume Technologies (OTCBB:CYLU), the world leader in chemiluminescent (chemical-light) technology, is one of the under-recognized gems in the small cap space. The Company provides innovative chemical-light products to the U.S. and NATO country militaries as well as to the safety industry including policemen and firemen. Given the Company’s recent progress in advancing its core light technology and incorporating it into new products, it deserves a spotlight to examine where the Company is today and can be in the future. For this however, we will just take a quick look at one of Cyalume’s new products, but understand that the Company’s core-military and ammunition businesses are well-established.

The New Fiocchi Chemical Tracer

Cyalume recently announced a strategic agreement with Fiocchi Ammunition USA, a world leader in the field of small-caliber ammunition to develop and market the Chemical Tracer, the world's first non-pyrotechnic shotgun tracer. The Chemical Tracer creates a daytime visible trace that travels with the cloud of the shot allowing shooters to instantly determine their accuracy and therefore correct their aim. This product is evolving quickly and has the potential to, excuse the pun, take off like a bullet from a gun. It was recently the focus of an article on www.shotgunworld.com with a video displaying the technology that can be viewed at http://www.shootingsportsretailer-digital.com/shootingsportsretailer/201101#pg5. The article included some scintillating comments about the likelihood of taking target shooting to the mainstream public as a spectator sport, much like ESPN did with bass fishing when it transformed the sport into the billion-dollar industry that it is today. Perhaps it is not too early to speculate that Cyalume will be on the cutting edge of transforming skeet, trap and sporting clay shooting into a major spectator sport?

The Chemical Tracer represents a significant incremental growth opportunity for Cyalume as the community of sport as well as military and law enforcement shooters worldwide numbers in the millions. In fact, according to a National Shooting Sports Foundation survey, in 2009 over 8 million Americans participated in sporting clay shooting. Although specific data on how many individual shotgun shells were fired by these users is hard to come by, various estimates have put the figure at over 800 million. Capturing only a small percentage of that market will provide Cyalume with a robust revenue stream. Cyalume's decision to partner with Fiocchi to develop and bring to market this new tracer round ensures the optimal exposure and therefore success of this new innovative product.

As we mentioned, the Fiocchi Chemical Tracer highlighted here represents just one of the many innovative products that Cyalume currently manufacturers. With a market cap still under $100 million and exciting new products such as the Fiocchi Chemical Tracer coming to market, Cyalume is certainly deserving of its moment in the spotlight.

I have also requested that Stockcharts add CYLU to its database, so we can get the Ibox in order. We will work to get the Ibox current with information and status of operations as well.

This is an interesting read. I couldn't post this as a pdf, so I snapped it and will post as images.

Cyalume Technologies and Fiocchi Ammunition USA to Launch the Fiocchi Chemical Tracer(R) Shotshell at the 2011 SHOT Show in Las Vegas

WEST SPRINGFIELD, Mass., Jan. 10, 2011 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Cyalume Technologies Holdings, Inc. (OTCBB:CYLU) and Fiocchi Ammunition USA will launch the Fiocchi Chemical Tracer(R), the world's first non-pyrotechnic shotgun tracer at the 2011 SHOT Show in Las Vegas, NV from January 18-21. The Chemical Tracer creates a daytime visible trace that travels with the cloud of shot allowing shooters to instantly determine where they are shooting and how to correct their aim.

"The interest that we received to date from dealers, distributors, retailers and NSCA members is indicative of the value that the Chemical Tracer represents to shooters," said Carlo Fiocchi, Vice-President of Marketing and Sales, Fiocchi Ammunition USA.

Derek Dunaway, Cyalume's President and CEO, said, "Overall, Q3 was the strongest quarter of the year. The improvements that we saw in Q2 from Q1 continued. Our core military chemical business which suffered from some contracting problems in the early part of the year has rebounded. Overall performance for US Military Chemical for the quarter was over 38% above Q2 levels. We are still facing challenges in our European and Commercial business areas, most of which are driven by budget constraints, but our ammunition business has continued to deliver strong growth, with third quarter performance continuing at the levels we estimated and well above the same period last year."

Results of Operations -- Adjusted Basis



Adjusted net income is an alternative view of performance used by management and we believe that investors' understanding of our performance is enhanced by disclosing this information. We define adjusted net income as the net income of Cyalume excluding amortization expense. The adjusted net income measure is not, and should not be viewed as, a substitute for U.S. GAAP net income. Adjusted net income is an important internal measurement for us. We measure the performance of the overall Company on this basis. The following are examples of how we use adjusted net income:





* Senior management receives a monthly analysis of our operating
results that is prepared on an adjusted net income basis;
* Our annual budget for 2009 is prepared on an adjusted net income
basis
* Certain annual compensation computations, including annual cash
bonuses, are calculated in part on an adjusted net income basis.


Despite the importance of this measure to management in goal setting and performance measurement, we stress that adjusted net income is a non-GAAP financial measure that has no standardized meaning under U.S. GAAP and therefore, has limits in its usefulness to investors. Due to its non-standardized definition, adjusted net income (unlike U.S. GAAP net income) may not be comparable with the calculation of similar measures for other companies. Adjusted net income is presented solely to permit investors to more fully understand how management assesses our performance.

Adjusted EBITDA (a Non-GAAP Financial Measure)



Cyalume defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation, amortization, foreign currency gains or losses and one time income or expense items. Management uses Adjusted EBITDA for establishing internal budgets, goals and performance bonuses. Internal financial reports including those provided to the Board of Directors, focus on Adjusted EBITDA. Since Adjusted EBITDA is not necessarily an indicator of overall cash flows of Cyalume, management reviews capital budgets and cash flow forecasts in parallel with Adjusted EBITDA analysis. Because Adjusted EBITDA eliminates interest expense, income taxes and depreciation, amortization and one-time income or expense items, Cyalume considers this financial measure an important indicator of Cyalume's liquidity, operational strength and performance. Investors may find Adjusted EBITDA useful as it illustrates underlying operating trends in Cyalume's business.



In addition, components of Adjusted EBITDA are a key component in the determination of our compliance with certain covenants under our credit agreements. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation, or as a substitute for net income, cash flows, or other consolidated income or cash flow data presented in accordance with GAAP or as a measure of our liquidity or financial condition. Because Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure determined in accordance with GAAP and is thus susceptible to varying calculations, Adjusted EBITDA as discussed may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.



The use of Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental liquidity measure is useful as it assists management in understanding and evaluating the Company's capacity, excluding the impact of interest, taxes, and non-cash depreciation and amortization charges, for servicing debt and other cash needs, prior to our consideration of the impacts of other potential sources and uses of cash, such as working capital items. Investors may find it useful for these purposes as well. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered an alternative to, or more meaningful than, net cash provided by operating activities, as determined in accordance with GAAP, since it omits the impact of interest, taxes and changes in working capital that use or provide cash (such as receivables, payables and inventories) as well as the sources or uses of cash associated with changes in other balance sheet items (such as long-term loss accruals and deferred items). Because Adjusted EBITDA excludes depreciation and amortization, Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect any cash requirements for the replacement of the assets being depreciated and amortized, which assets will often have to be replaced in the future. Further, Adjusted EBITDA, because it also does not reflect the impact of debt service, income taxes, cash dividends, capital expenditures and other cash commitments, does not represent how much discretionary cash we have available for other purposes. Nonetheless, Adjusted EBITDA is a key measure expected by and useful to our investors, rating agencies and the banking community in the analysis of a Company's ability to service debt, fund capital expenditures and otherwise meet cash needs, respectively. Cyalume also evaluates Adjusted EBITDA because it is clear that movements in these non-GAAP measures impact the Company's ability to attract financing. Adjusted EBITDA, as calculated, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

View Additional ProfilesWEST SPRINGFIELD, Mass., May 13, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Cyalume Technologies Holdings, Inc. (OTCBB:CYLU) today announced results for the three months ending March 31, 2009. Adjusted net income, which is net income and amortization, was $0.5 million on revenues of $6.6 million, compared to adjusted net income of $1.6 million on revenues of $10.1 million for the first quarter of 2008. Adjusted EBITDA, which is earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, foreign currency gains and losses, and certain one-time gains or expenses, was $0.8 million compared to $2.8 million during in 2008. Adjusted net income and adjusted EBITDA are important measures because they present a view of our performance on an ongoing basis without regard to the effects of purchase accounting or certain one-time gains or expenses such as certain lawsuit settlement gains and corresponding legal fees incurred.

The negative sales variance is due almost entirely to a historically low sales level of core chemical light products to the US military under one of the Company's military contracts. The low sales volume was due to order processing and inventory stocking issues. These issues have been resolved and the Company is already witnessing significant new orders under that specific contract. While first quarter sales were substantially below the previous year, the results were consistent with the expectations that the Company had communicated during its end of year earnings call.

Alternatively, sales for the 40 mm training ammunition continue to strongly grow. New orders from Rheinmetall for the MK281 will allow the Company to meet or surpass its expectations with that product line.

During the first quarter, the Company took some aggressive action to reduce operating expenses. The changes were a combination of reductions due to lower production levels as well as permanent cost savings initiatives. The changes were estimated to amount to an annualized savings of approximately $1 million. The increased sales levels the Company is now experiencing is requiring us to roll back much of the savings initiative but we will continue to realize some savings and improved operational efficiency as a result.

Comparable GAAP amounts and a reconciliation to GAAP are later contained in this release.

Derek Dunaway, Cyalume's President and CEO, said, "I am glad to report that the first quarter results were not due to any long term issues but rather small short term problems that caused supply interruptions and hindered order processing. The outlook for the second quarter is much more positive. While April continued to be slow, the Company has finally begun to see a turn around in May. During the first two weeks of May, we have seen more orders for our core products than we saw during the entire first quarter. We are confident that the issues that had caused the slow down in military orders have been resolved and we will continue to see a flow of orders consistent with historical levels as well as pent up demand, which will allow us to catch up on some of the revenue that was not realized during the first quarter. As evidenced by the activity we have seen in the second quarter already, demand for some of our products is as strong if not stronger than ever, and our core business remains extremely healthy. We expect much of the lost sales to be recouped during the third quarter. We are of course very encouraged by the performance of our ammunition product and the continued success of our partnership with Rheinmetall."

Results of Operations -- Adjusted Basis

Adjusted net income is an alternative view of performance used by management and we believe that investors' understanding of our performance is enhanced by disclosing this information. We define adjusted net income as the net income of Cyalume excluding amortization expense. The adjusted net income measure is not, and should not be viewed as, a substitute for U.S. GAAP net income. Adjusted net income is an important internal measurement for us. We measure the performance of the overall Company on this basis. The following are examples of how we use adjusted net income:



* Senior management receives a monthly analysis of our operating results
that is prepared on an adjusted net income basis;
* Our annual budget for 2009 is prepared on an adjusted net income basis
* Certain annual compensation computations, including annual cash
bonuses, are calculated in part on an adjusted net income basis.
Despite the importance of this measure to management in goal setting and performance measurement, we stress that adjusted net income is a non-GAAP financial measure that has no standardized meaning under U.S. GAAP and therefore, has limits in its usefulness to investors. Due to its non-standardized definition, adjusted net income (unlike U.S. GAAP net income) may not be comparable with the calculation of similar measures for other companies. Adjusted net income is presented solely to permit investors to more fully understand how management assesses our performance.

Adjusted EBITDA (a Non-GAAP Financial Measure)

Cyalume defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation, amortization, foreign currency gains or losses and one time income or expense items. Management uses Adjusted EBITDA for establishing internal budgets, goals and performance bonuses. Internal financial reports including those provided to the Board of Directors, focus on Adjusted EBITDA. Since Adjusted EBITDA is not necessarily an indicator of overall cash flows of Cyalume, management reviews capital budgets and cash flow forecasts in parallel with Adjusted EBITDA analysis. Because Adjusted EBITDA eliminates interest expense, income taxes and depreciation, amortization and one-time income or expense items, Cyalume considers this financial measure an important indicator of Cyalume's liquidity, operational strength and performance. Investors may find Adjusted EBITDA useful as it illustrates underlying operating trends in Cyalume's business.

In addition, components of Adjusted EBITDA are a key component in the determination of our compliance with certain covenants under our credit agreements. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation, or as a substitute for net income, cash flows, or other consolidated income or cash flow data presented in accordance with GAAP or as a measure of our liquidity or financial condition. Because Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure determined in accordance with GAAP and is thus susceptible to varying calculations, Adjusted EBITDA as discussed may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.

The use of Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental liquidity measure is useful as it assists management in understanding and evaluating the Company's capacity, excluding the impact of interest, taxes, and non-cash depreciation and amortization charges, for servicing debt and other cash needs, prior to our consideration of the impacts of other potential sources and uses of cash, such as working capital items. Investors may find it useful for these purposes as well. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered an alternative to, or more meaningful than, net cash provided by operating activities, as determined in accordance with GAAP, since it omits the impact of interest, taxes and changes in working capital that use or provide cash (such as receivables, payables and inventories) as well as the sources or uses of cash associated with changes in other balance sheet items (such as long-term loss accruals and deferred items). Because Adjusted EBITDA excludes depreciation and amortization, Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect any cash requirements for the replacement of the assets being depreciated and amortized, which assets will often have to be replaced in the future. Further, Adjusted EBITDA, because it also does not reflect the impact of debt service, income taxes, cash dividends, capital expenditures and other cash commitments, does not represent how much discretionary cash we have available for other purposes. Nonetheless, Adjusted EBITDA is a key measure expected by and useful to our investors, rating agencies and the banking community in the analysis of a Company's ability to service debt, fund capital expenditures and otherwise meet cash needs, respectively. Cyalume also evaluates Adjusted EBITDA because it is clear that movements in these non-GAAP measures impact the Company's ability to attract financing. Adjusted EBITDA, as calculated, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
