NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Tabular Information in Thousands except per Share Amounts)
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION:
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Butler International, Inc. and subsidiaries (the "Company") have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments consisting of normal recurring adjustments and accruals considered necessary for a fair presentation have been reflected in these condensed consolidated financial statements. On May 30, 2003, the Company sold its United Kingdom based staffing operations ("UK Operations"). The UK Operations were part of the Company's Technical Services reporting segment. The UK Operations are accounted for as a discontinued operation under U.S. GAAP and therefore, the UK Operations' results of operations and cash flows have been removed from the Company's results of continuing operations and cash flows for all periods presented. Operating results for the quarter are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2005 due to seasonal and other factors. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004.
2. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SEGMENT INFORMATION:
The Company provides outsourcing, project management and technical staff augmentation services in technical, information technology, and telecommunications disciplines including: engineering design support primarily used for aerospace, defense and heavy equipment manufacturing, software quality assurance testing, software applications development and implementation, enterprise network design and implementation, telecommunications network systems implementation, and fleet maintenance and repair services to major ground fleet-holders nationwide. These services are provided through three business segments: Technical Services ("BTG"), Telecommunication Services ("BTI") and Information Technology Services ("BTS").
The Company discloses segment information in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 131, "Disclosure About Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information," which requires companies to report selected segment information on a quarterly basis and to report certain entity-wide disclosures about products and services, major customers and material countries in which the entity holds assets and reports revenues.

(Tabular Information in Thousands except per Share Amounts)
The accounting policies of the business segments are the same as those described in the Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in Note 3 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Intercompany transactions and balances are not significant. Management reviews the Company's assets on a consolidated basis, as it is not meaningful to allocate assets to the various segments. The Company evaluates segment performance based on revenues and operating profits. The Company does not allocate income taxes or charges determined to be non-recurring in nature, such as restructuring and impairment charges.
The Company primarily operates in the United States. Operations include the results of the India subsidiary, which are less than 1% of sales for all periods presented.
3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Stock-based Compensation
The Company has a number of stock-based employee compensation plans, which are described more fully in Note 9 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004. The Company accounts for employee stock options and share awards under the intrinsic value method prescribed by Accounting Principles Board ("APB") Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," as interpreted. Accordingly, compensation cost for stock options and share awards is measured as the excess, if any, of the quoted market price of the Company's stock at the date of the grant over the exercise price an employee must pay to acquire the stock. The Company recognizes compensation cost arising from the issuance of share awards over the vesting period of the stock grant. The Company has recognized no compensation expense related to employee stock options for any period shown as the Company generally grants stock options with the exercise price equal to the market value of the common stock on the date of grant.
During the three-month periods ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, a total of 166,333 and 25,000 stock options, respectively, were granted to officers of the Company through the 2002 Stock Incentive Plan. During the six-month periods ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, a total of 221,333 and 57,500 stock options, respectively, were granted to officers of the Company through the 2002 Stock Incentive Plan.
Had compensation cost for the stock options issued and share awards granted been determined based on the fair value at the grant date and recognized over the service period, which is usually the vesting period, consistent with provisions of SFAS No. 123, the Company's net income and earnings per share would have changed to the pro forma amounts indicated below:
| For the Three-Month | | For the Six-Month |

The fair value of each option granted is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions:
| 2005 | | 2004 |
Risk-free interest rate | 4.22% | | 4.36% |
Expected life | 5.9 years | | 6.1 years |
Expected volatility | 54.37% | | 95.39% |
| | | |
Earnings Per Share
The Company presents both basic and diluted earnings per common share amounts. Basic earnings per common share is calculated by dividing net income, adjusted for preferred stock dividends, by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income by the sum of the weighted average number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding during the period. Common equivalent shares are excluded from the computation in periods in which they have an anti-dilutive effect. The Company uses the treasury stock method to calculate the impact of outstanding stock options and warrants. Stock options and warrants for which the exercise price exceeds the average market price over the period have an anti-dilutive effect on earnings per common share and, accordingly, are excluded from the calculation. For the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2005, the average number of options and warrants outstanding were 725,133 and 647,481, respectively, where the exercise price was greater than the average market price of the common shares and, therefore, were excluded from the computation of diluted income per share. For the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2004, the average number of options and warrants outstanding were 1,090,458 and 1,276,452, respectively, where the exercise price was greater than the average market price of the common shares and, therefore, were excluded from the computation of diluted income per share.
The following table presents the computation of basic and diluted earnings per common share from continuing operations:
| For the Three-Month | | For the Six-Month |

Accounting Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period, including, but not limited to, receivable valuations, impairment of goodwill, pension benefit obligations, income taxes, restructuring costs and litigation accruals. Management's estimates are based on historical experience, facts and circumstances available at the time, and various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The Company reviews these matters and reflects changes in estimates as appropriate. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Goodwill
Goodwill represents costs in excess of fair values assigned to the underlying net assets of acquired companies. Effective January 1, 2002, the Company adopted SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" and as a result, goodwill is not amortized but tested for impairment annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. The Company set an annual impairment testing date of June 30. An impairment charge will be recognized only when the implied fair value of a reporting unit, including goodwill, is less than its carrying amount. There was no change in the carrying amount of goodwill during the six-month period ended June 30, 2005.
4. NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS TO BE IMPLEMENTED:
In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS No. 123 (Revised 2004), "Share-Based Payment," that will require the Company to expense costs related to share-based payments to employees. With limited exceptions, SFAS No. 123R requires that the fair value of share-based payments to employees be expensed over the period service is received. On April 14, 2005 the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") announced that it would permit most registrants, subject to SEC oversight, additional time to implement the requirements of SFAS No. 123R. As originally issued by the FASB, the Company was required to adopt SFAS No. 123R at the beginning of the third quarter of fiscal 2005. As announced, the SEC will permit companies to implement SFAS No. 123R at the beginning of their next fiscal year instead of the next reporting period as required by the FASB. That means the Company may defer adoption of SFAS No. 123R until the beginning of the first quarter of fiscal 2006. SFAS No. 123R allows for either prospective recognition of compensation expense or retroactive recognition, which may date back to the original issuance of SFAS No. 123 or only to interim periods in the year of adoption. The Company is evaluating these transition methods. The impact of adoption of SFAS No. 123R cannot be predicted at this time because it is dependent on the fair value and number of share-based payments granted in the future. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this Statement.
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 153, "Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets, an amendment of APB No. 29" effective for nonmonetary asset exchanges occurring in the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2006. SFAS No. 153 requires that exchanges of productive assets be accounted for at fair value unless fair value cannot be reasonably determined or the transaction lacks commercial substance. SFAS No. 153 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated results of operations and financial position.
5. DEBT:
On September 1, 2005, the Company received Amendment No. 11 and Limited Waiver to the General Electric Credit Corporation ("GECC") Revolving Credit facility ("Credit Facility'). The Amendment extended the Credit Facility maturity date to July 1, 2006. The maturity date of the Credit Facility is one year and one day from the end of the second quarter of 2005 and as such the Company classifies that portion of the Credit Facility debt which is not due to be paid within the upcoming four quarters as long-term debt. The Waiver granted the Company two weeks of additional time, until September15, 2005, to file the June 30, 2005 Form 10-Q. The Company was in default under the Credit Facility for not filing the June 30, 2005 Form 10-Q on time. As part of the Amendment, GECC will require the Company to issue 10,000 shares of Company Stock to GECC commencing March 31, 2006 and continuing each month thereafter until the Credit Facility is terminated, provide monthly cash flow forecasts to GECC, and pay a one-time $50,000 fee. The Amendment also reduces the maximum Leverage Ratio Covenant from 4.35 to 4.10 for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2005 and each quarter thereafter.

The Company has received a number of Credit Facility debt maturity extensions from GECC. There can be no assurance that future debt maturity extensions ("Extensions") will be granted by GECC. If Extensions are not provided by GECC, the Credit Facility would be recorded as short-term debt. The Company currently does not have the operating cash flow or available funds to retire that amount of debt within one year. The Company is planning to refinance the GECC debt before July 1, 2006. The Company is in the process of selling its Montvale, New Jersey building. The proceeds will be used to reduce the amount of refinancing required. If the Company is not able to refinance the remaining debt entirely, it will seek additional forms of capital, such as equity, or consider selling a portion of the business. There can be no assurance, however, that alternative or additional financing will be available. If the alternative or additional financing is not available, it may have an adverse impact on the Company's normal business operations.
6 ASSETS HELD FOR SALE:
In February 2005, the Company's Board of Directors authorized the sale of its Montvale, New Jersey facility and the potential establishment of worldwide headquarters in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, where it currently leases office space. The Montvale, New Jersey facility has served as the Company's worldwide headquarters. The Company has retained a real estate broker to represent it and classified the Montvale, New Jersey building and associated land in its condensed consolidated balance sheet as assets held for sale. The carrying value of the property is $8,889,000. The net proceeds from the sale of the facility will be used to retire debt.
7 INCOME TAXES:
The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes whereby deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial reporting amounts of assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The Company periodically assesses recoverability of deferred tax assets. A valuation allowance is recognized if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. The Company and its subsidiaries file a consolidated federal tax return. Where the Company believes that the deduction of an item is supportable for income tax purposes, the item is deducted in its income tax return. However, where treatment of an item is uncertain, tax accruals are established based upon potential exposure of different outcomes. These accruals are recorded in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet in other long-term liabilities, as the Company believes that these matters are more than one year away from any significant conclusiveness. Changes to these accruals may occur for varying reasons, such as, but not limited to, a settlement with relevant tax authority, the expiration of statutes of limitations for the subject tax year, changes in tax laws, rules and regulations, etc.
The effective income tax rate is the income tax expense as a percentage of income from continuing operations before income taxes. In 2005, the effective income tax rate increased due to the Company's evaluation of its tax planning strategies. In 2004, the Company was notified that its federal income tax returns for the years 1998 through 2002 had been accepted as filed (the "Notification"). Accordingly, the effective income tax rate for 2004 was reduced due to the impact on accrued income taxes payable that resulted from the Notification.

8. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS:
The Company has a funded noncontributory defined benefit pension plan (the "Plan"). Benefits under the Plan are determined based on earnings and period of service. The Company funds the Plan in accordance with the minimum funding requirements of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. A participant's Employee Stock Option Plan ("ESOP") credits reduce benefits payable under the Plan. Effective June 1997, retroactive to December 31, 1996, the Company froze future benefit accruals under the Plan and ESOP. The Company uses a December 31 measurement date. Net periodic pension (income) expense for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 included the following components:
| For the Three-Month | | For the Six-Month |
| Period Ended June 30, | | Period Ended June 30, |

10. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:
The Company and its subsidiaries are parties to various legal proceedings and claims incidental to their normal business operations for which no material liability is expected beyond which, is recorded. While the ultimate resolution is not known, management does not expect that the resolution of such matters will have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial position and results of operations.
11. RESTRUCTURING CHARGES:

12. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS:
On May 30, 2003, the Company sold its UK Operations. The sale agreement included a provision that entitled the Company to additional cash payments of $125,000 per year for the two-year period ended May 31, 2005 if the sold business achieved certain minimum performance targets. Such minimum targets were achieved and these contingent payments of $125,000 were recognized as income from discontinued operations in both 2004 and 2005. Additionally, the sale agreement contained another provision that entitled the Company to additional cash payments if the UK operation was able to utilize various tax benefits that were sold with the operations. In 2005, the Company received a final cash payment of $125,000 for these tax benefits.
13. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS:
Since 1994, the Company has provided payroll and administrative services to Chief Executive Magazine, Inc. ("Chief Executive"). During 2001, Edward M. Kopko, the Company's Chief Executive Officer, became the managing general partner of Chief Executive Group, L.P. ("CE Group"), the limited partnership that owns the magazine. Also in 2001, the Company converted approximately $2.0 million of accounts receivable from Chief Executive into a note receivable. The note bears interest at three hundred basis points above the prime rate (9.25% at June 30, 2005). In March 2004, the Company's Board of Directors approved taking action to assume full ownership of Chief Executive's assets. Consequently, a decision regarding disposition of the asset will be made at a later date. In 2004, as a result of the pending foreclosure, the Company has included all of the receivables from Chief Executive and related allowances in other assets. At June 30, 2005, trade receivables and the note receivable from Chief Executive totaled approximately $8.9 million and $1.3 million, respectively, and are included in other assets net of allowance for doubtful accounts and notes of $6.2 million. The following table presents the billings, payments, interest charges and related charges to provision for doubtful accounts and notes for Chief Executive in 2005:

14. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS:
Chief Executive
In 2004, the Company notified CE Group of its intent to initiate legal proceedings to foreclose on all of Chief Executive's property and assets due to Chief Executive's inability to repay its obligations to the Company. (See Note 17 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004 ("2004 Form 10-K")). Negotiations for the judicial transfer to the Company of all the assets and certain liabilities of Chief Executive are substantially completed. The partners of CE Group have been granted a brief period of time to indicate if they are willing to provide significant additional capital contributions to Chief Executive sufficient to, among other things, repay Chief Executive's indebtedness to the Company. If the partners of CE Group do not submit a proposal for additional capital contributions, the Company expects the transfer of Chief Executive's assets to occur in the third or fourth quarter of 2005.
Delinquent Filing of Form 10-K, Form 11-K and Form 10-Q
The Company did not file its 2004 Form 10-K timely with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Additional time was required to review the Company's accounting treatment of Chief Executive and related receivables for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003.
On April 19, 2005, the Company received a NASDAQ Staff Determination Letter indicating the Company's securities were subject to delisting from NASDAQ at the opening of business on April 28, 2005, because the Company's 2004 Form 10-K was not filed and as a result the Company failed to comply with the requirements for continued listing set forth in NASDAQ's Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(14). Effective at the opening of business on April 21, 2005, the fifth character "E" was appended to the Company's trading symbol and it was changed from BUTL to BUTLE.
On May 25, 2005, the Company received a notice from NASDAQ that as a result of not timely filing its March 31, 2005 Form 10-Q it was not in compliance with NASDAQ's listing requirements. During the May 26, 2005 hearing, the Company also requested from NASDAQ a further extension for compliance under Rule 4310(c)(14) for filing its March 31, 2005 Form 10-Q.
On May 26, 2005, the Company appeared before the NASDAQ Listing Qualifications Panel to request a further extension of the deadline to file its 2004 Form 10-K.
On May 31, 2005 the Company failed to file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2005 ("March 31, 2005 Form 10-Q") timely with the SEC because of the unresolved accounting issues related to its 2004 Form 10-K.
On July 12, 2005, the Company received a notice from NASDAQ permitting its stock to continue to trade under the BUTLE symbol until July 29, 2005 so long as the 2004 Form 10-K and the March 31, 2005 Form 10-Q are filed on or before that date and other listing requirements are met.
On July 15, 2005, the Company failed to file its Form 11-K Annual Report Pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004 ("2004 Form 11-K") timely with the SEC because of the unresolved accounting issues related to its 2004 Form 10-K.
Additionally, as a result of not timely filing its 2004 Form 10-K, the Company was in default under its Credit Facility with GECC. GECC granted the Company a temporary waiver on July 19, 2005 for not delivering the 2004 Form 10-K and March 31, 2005 Form 10-Q on a timely basis. GECC required that the Company file its 2004 Form 10-K within one week of the date of the waiver and March 31, 2005 Form 10-Q within four weeks of the date of the waiver. Additionally, GECC imposed a cap on the maximum amount of accounts payable and/or debt Chief Executive can have payable to the Company. The cap is $10.6 million through December 31, 2005 and $10.4 million thereafter.
In connection with the audit of its 2004 consolidated financial statements, the Company has completed the review of its accounting treatment of Chief Executive, a related party, for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003. Based on the review the Company has included all of the accounts receivable from Chief Executive as long-term assets for the year 2004.
On July 26, 2005 the Company filed its 2004 Form 10-K and 2004 Form 11-K with the SEC.

On July 29, 2005 the Company requested an extension from the NASDAQ Listing Qualification Panel until August 12, 2005 for the time to file its March 31, 2005 Form 10-Q.
On August 9, 2005, the Company received notification from the NASDAQ Listing Qualifications Panel of its decision to permit its common stock to continue to trade under the symbol BUTLE until August 12, 2005, subject to the following conditions: (i) on or before August 12, 2005, the Company shall file its March 31, 2005 Form 10-Q and (ii) in order to fully comply with the terms of this exception, the Company must be able to demonstrate compliance with all requirements for continued listing on the NASDAQ SmallCap Market. On August 12, 2005, the Company filed its Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2005.
The Company's June 30, 2005 Form 10-Q was due on August 15, 2005. On August 16, 2005, the Company filed with the SEC Form 12b-25 "Notification of Late Filing" requesting five additional business days in which to file its June 30, 2005 Form 10-Q. This extended the filing date to August 22, 2005. The Company failed to file its June 30, 2005 Form 10-Q by August 22, 2005.
On August 24, 2005, the Company received a "Notification of Additional Delinquency" ("Deficiency Notice") from NASDAQ because the Company failed to file with the SEC its June 30, 2005 Form 10-Q by its due date of August 22, 2005. Under Marketplace Rule 4815(b), the Company is required to respond to the Deficiency Notice by August 31, 2005. The response from the Company must be a public announcement through the news media that includes disclosure of the receipt of the Deficiency Notice, Marketplace Rule 4815(b) that is the basis of the deficiency and that the Deficiency Notice is an additional basis for delisting its securities from the NASDAQ SmallCap Market. In the event the Company is unable to file its June 30, 2005 Form 10-Q or respond to the NASDAQ Deficiency Notice by August 31, 2005, its securities may be delisted from the NASDAQ SmallCap Market.
On August 29, 2005, the Company issued a press release announcing that the Company would require additional time in which to file its Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2005 and that it had received a NASDAQ Deficiency Notice
Pending determination of compliance with NASDAQ's filing requirements and compliance with all other requirements for continued listing on NASDAQ, the fifth character "E" will remain appended to the Company's trading symbol. Except for the late filing of the Registrant's June 30, 2005 Form 10-Q; the Company is currently compliant with all other applicable NASDAQ rules.
On September 1, 2005, the Company received Amendment No. 11 and Limited Waiver to the General Electric Credit Corporation ("GECC") Revolving Credit facility ("Credit Facility"). The Amendment extended the Credit Facility maturity date to July 1, 2006. The maturity date of the Credit Facility is one year and one day from the end of the second quarter of 2005 and as such the Company classifies that portion of the Credit Facility debt which is not due to be paid within the upcoming four quarters as long-term debt. The Waiver granted the Company two weeks of additional time, until September15, 2005, to file the June 30, 2005 Form 10-Q. The Company was in default under the Credit Facility for not filing the June 30, 2005 Form 10-Q on time. As part of the Amendment, GECC will require the Company to issue 10,000 shares of Company Stock to GECC commencing March 31, 2006 and continuing each month thereafter until the Credit Facility is terminated, provide monthly cash flow forecasts to GECC, and pay a one-time $50,000 fee. The Amendment also reduces the maximum Leverage Ratio Covenant from 4.35 to 4.10 for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2005 and each quarter thereafter.
The Company has received a number of Credit Facility debt maturity extensions from GECC. There can be no assurance that future debt maturity extensions ("Extensions") will be granted by GECC. If Extensions are not provided by GECC, the Credit Facility would be recorded as short-term debt. The Company currently does not have the operating cash flow or available funds to retire that amount of debt within one year. The Company is planning to refinance the GECC debt before July 1, 2006. The Company is in the process of selling its Montvale, New Jersey building. The proceeds will be used to reduce the amount of refinancing required. If the Company is not able to refinance the remaining debt entirely, it will seek additional forms of capital, such as equity, or consider selling a portion of the business. There can be no assurance, however, that alternative or additional financing will be available. If the alternative or additional financing is not available, it may have an adverse impact on the Company's normal business operations.

This discussion should be read in conjunction with the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto and the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Three-month period ended June 30, 2005 compared to the three-month period ended June 30, 2004
Net sales for the second quarter of 2005 were $72.9 million, a $9.8 million or 15.6% increase compared to the second quarter of 2004. This is the seventh quarter in a row of year over year quarterly sales increases. A key strategy is to pursue growth by focusing on key customer needs.
16
BUTLER INTERNATIONAL, INC.
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)
Sales to the top ten (10) customers accounted for 73.6% of sales in the second quarter of 2005 compared to 67.4% in the second quarter of 2004. Sales to the top ten customers grew $3.9 million or 9.2% in the current quarter compared with a year ago. Sales increases of more than 20% at four of the top ten customers were partially offset by declines at two of the top ten customers, resulting in top ten customer sales growth being less than overall sales growth for the second quarter of 2005 as compared to the second quarter of 2004. Three customers accounted for approximately 35% of consolidated net sales for the second quarter of 2005, as compared to approximately 26% of second quarter 2004 consolidated net sales. If the customer list is expanded to include the top twenty-five customers, ten of the remaining fifteen customers had sales growth in excess of 25% during the second quarter of 2005, as compared to the second quarter of 2004.
As of June 30, 2005 the Company had approximately 3,350 employees, of which approximately 3,040 billable employees provided services generally at client facilities. At the end of the second quarter in 2004, the Company had approximately 3,220 employees, of which approximately 2,960 were billable employees. During the second quarter of 2005, the Company had an average of approximately 2,980 billable employees, an increase of approximately 5% over the average number of billable employees for the second quarter of 2004. The sales increase in the second quarter of 2005 resulted from the increase in the average number of billable employees as well as an increase in new business at both existing and new customers at higher margin billing rates.
Second quarter 2005 gross margin was $13.2 million, a 20.3% increase compared with the second quarter 2004 results of $11.0 million. The gross margin percentage for the second quarter of 2005 was 18.1% compared with 17.4% for the second quarter of 2004. The improvement in gross margin and gross margin percentage is explained by higher sales and higher margin business.
Second quarter 2005 operating income was $3.0 million, a 33.9% increase compared to $2.3 million for the second quarter of 2004. The operating profit expressed as a percentage of net sales for the second quarter of 2005 was 4.2% compared with 3.6% for the second quarter of 2004. The operating profit improvement resulted from the Company's increased sales, offset partially by selling, general, and administrative expenses ("SG&A"), which grew at a faster rate than sales.
Second quarter 2005 SG&A was 13.4% of net sales compared to 13.1% of sales in the second quarter of 2004. SG&A increased 18.6% from the second quarter of 2004 to the second quarter of 2005. Net sales increased 15.6% during the same period of comparison. The increase of $1.5 million in SG&A in the second quarter 2005 compared with the second quarter 2004 principally reflects the impact of higher labor costs, higher professional fees incurred, and increases in allowances for bad debts. The increase in SG&A was partially offset by lower depreciation expense. Depreciation expense was favorable in the quarter by $0.1 million as a result of accounting for the reclassification of the Montvale building and property to assets held for sale.
Second quarter 2005 interest expense was $1.2 million as compared with $1.0 million during the second quarter of 2004. Interest expense increased primarily as a result of increases in the Company's variable borrowing rates following interest rate increases by the Federal Reserve Bank during 2004 and 2005, which more than offset an approximate 2% decline in the Company's average quarterly debt balance in the second quarter of 2005 as compared to the second quarter of 2004. Income tax expense was $0.8 million for the current year's second quarter as compared with $0.3 million for the prior year. The effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2005 was 41.6% compared with 23.7% during the second quarter of 2004. The 2005 rate reflects the Company's estimate of 2005 profitability and the Company's evaluation of its tax planning strategies related to its income tax position. The Company's second quarter 2004 effective tax rate results from a reduction in accrued taxes payable, as a result of the IRS notifying the Company that its returns for the years 1998 through 2002 had been accepted as filed.
Second quarter 2005 income from continuing operations was $1.1 million, a 17.3% increase compared to the second quarter of 2004. The income from continuing operations as a percentage of net sales for the second quarter of 2005 was consistent with the prior year's second quarter at 1.5%. Second quarter 2005 earnings per share ("EPS") from continuing operations was $0.08 per diluted share compared with $0.07 per diluted share for the second quarter of 2004.
Butler's three business segments, Technical Services ("BTG"), Telecommunication Services ("BTI") and Information Technology Services ("BTS") experienced second quarter 2005 sales growth of 19.5%, 10.1% and 7.6%, respectively, compared with the second quarter of 2004. BTG, Butler's largest business segment, had second quarter 2005 sales of $45.6 million, the largest sales increase ($7.4 million), and sales percentage increase (19.5%), of Butler's business segments. BTG's key markets include aerospace, defense, and heavy equipment manufacturing that are currently experiencing substantial growth in capital spending. BTI sales were $20.9 million, an increase of $1.9 million (10.1%) when compared with the second quarter of 2004. BTI primarily serves the telecommunication industry. BTS sales were $6.1 million, an increase of $0.4 million (7.6%) during the current quarter. BTG, BTI and BTS sales increases were mostly due to higher sales to a number of key customers.

BUTLER INTERNATIONAL, INC.
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)
Butler's three business segments, BTG and BTI and BTS all achieved second quarter 2005 operating profit growth compared to the second quarter of 2004. BTG's operating profit growth was $4.2 million, an increase of $0.4 million (11.1%). BTG's operating profit was less than its sales growth as a result of opening new offices and adding employees to pursue future sales growth. BTI operating profit was $2.4 million, an increase of $0.8 million (52.7%) when compared with the second quarter of 2004. BTI's operating profit growth was driven by an increase in sales at several key customers. BTS's operating profit was $0.4 million, a slight increase when compared with the second quarter of 2004. BTS's relatively flat operating profit was a result of expenses incurred in expanding the Company's India operation in order to capture future growth.
Discontinued Operations
On May 30, 2003, the Company sold its UK operations. The sale agreement included a provision that entitled the Company to additional cash payments for the two-year period ending May 31, 2005 if the sold business achieved certain minimum performance targets and utilized certain tax benefits. These contingent payments were recognized as income from discontinued operations. In 2005 and 2004, the Company received $250,000 and $125,000, respectively, of additional proceeds from its sale of the UK operations.
Six-month period ended June 30, 2005 compared to the six-month period ended June 30, 2004
Net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2005 were $136.9 million, an increase of $16.0 million or 13.2% compared with the prior year's first half. A key Company strategy is to pursue growth by focusing on key customer needs. Sales to the top ten (10) customers accounted for 67.3% of sales in the first half of 2005 compared to 68.0% in the first half of 2004.��
Sales to the top ten customers grew $9.9 million or 12.1% for the six-month period ended June 30, 2005 as compared with the six months ended 2004. Sales increases of 20% or more at five top ten customers were partially offset by declines of more than 20% at three top ten customers, resulting in top ten customer sales growing at an overall rate less than total sales growth. If the customer list is expanded to include the top twenty-five customers, ten of the remaining fifteen customers had sales growth in excess of 30% during the first six months of 2005, as compared to the first six months of 2004.
During the first six months of 2005, the Company had an average of approximately 2,880 billable employees, an increase of approximately 4% over the average number of billable employees for the first six months of 2004. The sales increase in the six-month period ended June 30, 2005 resulted from the increase in the average number of billable employees as well as an increase in new business at both existing and new customers at higher margin billing rates.
Gross margin in the first six months of 2005 was $24.1 million, a $3.4 million (16.3%) increase compared with $20.7 million for the first six months of 2004. The gross margin percentage for the first six months of 2005 was 17.6% compared with 17.1% for the first six-months of 2004. The improvement in gross margin and gross margin percentage was attributable to higher sales and higher margin business.
Operating income for the first six months of 2005 was $4.8 million, a $1.3 million (36.1%) increase compared with $3.5 million for the first six months of 2004. The operating profit improvement resulted from the Company's increased sales, offset partially by SG&A which grew at a faster rate than sales. The operating profit as a percentage of net sales for the first six-months of 2005 was 3.5% compared with 2.9% for the first six months of 2004. SG&A in the first six months of 2005 was 13.5% of net sales compared to 13.4% of net sales in the first half of 2004. SG&A increased 14.2% from the first half of 2004 to the first half of 2005. Net sales increased 13.2% during the same period of comparison. The increase of $2.3 million in SG&A in the first six months of 2005 compared with the first six months of 2004 resulted from the impact of higher labor costs, higher professional fees, and increases in reserves for doubtful accounts and notes. During the first six months of 2005, depreciation expense decreased by $0.2 million or 20.4%, when compared to the first six months of 2005. Depreciation expense was lower in the first six months of 2005 as a result of the reclassification of the Montvale building and property to assets held for sale.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)
Interest expense for the first six months of 2005 was $2.1 million as compared with $2.0 million during the first six months of 2004. Interest expense increased primarily as a result of increases in the Company's variable borrowing rates following interest rate increases by the Federal Reserve Bank during 2004 and 2005, which more than offset an approximate 2% decline in the Company's average quarterly debt balance in the first six months of 2005 as compared with the first six months of 2004. Income tax expense for the first six months of 2005 was $1.1 million as compared with $0.4 million for the first six months of 2004. The effective income tax rate for the first six months of 2005 was 41.7% as compared with 26.0% during the first six months of 2004. The increase in the 2005 rate reflects the Company's estimate of 2005 profitability and it's evaluation of its tax planning strategies related to its income tax position. The Company's effective tax rate for the first six months of 2004 resulted from a reduction in accrued taxes payable, as a result of the IRS notifying the Company that its returns for the years 1998 through 2002 had been accepted as filed.
Income from continuing operations during the first half of 2005 was $1.5 million, a 40.8% increase compared to the first half of 2004. Income from continuing operations expressed as a percentage of net sales through the first six months of 2005 was 1.1% compared with 0.9% for the six months ended June 30, 2004. 2005 EPS from continuing operations was $0.11 per diluted share compared with $0.08 per diluted share for the first half of 2004.
During the first six months of 2005, Butler's two largest business segments, BTG, and BTI experienced sales growth of 16.7% and 10.1%, respectively, as compared with the first six months of 2004. BTG is Butler's largest business segment and had the largest sales increase ($12.5 million) and percentage of sales increase (16.7%) during the first half of 2005 as compared with the prior year. BTG's key markets include aerospace, defense, and heavy equipment manufacturing that are currently experiencing substantial growth in capital spending. The BTI sales increase during the first six months of 2005 was $3.5 million (10.1%) when compared with the first six months of 2004. BTI primarily serves the telecommunication industry. BTG and BTI sales increases were primarily due to higher sales at the Company's key customers. BTS sales were relatively unchanged during the first six months of 2005 as compared with the first six months of 2004. Although BTS sales increased at some customers during the first six months of 2005, the gains were mostly offset by a decline at a key customer. Sales at BTS did increase during the second quarter of 2005 as compared to the second quarter of 2004, signaling a potential improvement in future sales.
During the first six months of 2005, BTG and BTI each achieved growth in operating profit as compared with the first six months of 2004. BTG's operating profit increased $0.5 million or 6.9%. BTG's operating profit growth was less than its sales growth as a result of opening new offices and adding employees to pursue future sales growth. The BTI operating profit increase in the current year was $1.5 million, an increase of 72.1% when compared with the six months ended June 30, 2004. BTI's operating profit growth was driven by an increase in sales at a key customer. BTS's operating profit was flat when compared with the prior year at $0.7 million. BTS's relatively flat operating profit was a result of expenses incurred to expand the Company's India operation in order to capture future growth.
Discontinued Operations
On May 30, 2003, the Company sold its UK operations. The sale agreement included a provision that entitled the Company to additional cash payments for the two-year period ending May 31, 2005 if the sold business achieved certain minimum performance targets and utilized certain tax benefits. These contingent payments were recognized as income from discontinued operations. In 2005 and 2004, the Company received $250,000 and $125,000, respectively, of additional proceeds from its sale of the UK operations.
Outlook
Based on current business trends, the Company anticipates continued growth and profitability in 2005 compared to 2004. The Company's growth prospects are influenced by broad economic and customer trends. The pace of customer capital spending programs, government spending on defense programs, telecommunication capital spending, new product launches, and customers' desire to become more efficient have a direct impact on demand for our services. Recent industry statistics generally support management's observations of a stronger business environment including an improvement in the rate of economic activity, capital spending and job creation in the United States in 2005. Management believes that the Company is pursuing a more focused business strategy, and should be able to capitalize on the improving marketplace. Growth will be dependent upon the Company's key customers continuing to grow and drive for efficiency, an increase in Butler's share of that business, an increase in the demand for offshore services, and opportunities to develop new customer business.

BUTLER INTERNATIONAL, INC.
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)
Should the United States economy decline in 2005, the Company's operating performance could be adversely impacted resulting in the need for future cost reductions, change in strategy and capital infusion. Additionally, changes in government regulations could result in prohibition or restriction of certain types of employment services or the imposition of new or additional benefits, licensing or tax requirements with respect to the provision of employment services that may reduce Butler's future earnings. Butler may not be able to increase the fees charged to its clients in a timely manner and in a sufficient amount to cover increased costs as a result of any of the foregoing risks.
The technical and technology outsourcing services industry is very competitive and highly fragmented. There are limited barriers to entry and new competitors frequently enter the market. A significant number of its competitors are financially stronger than the Company. The Company competes in national, regional and local markets with numerous technical and technology outsourcing consulting firms. Price competition in the technical and technology outsourcing industry is significant, and pricing pressures from competitors and customers are increasing. Butler expects that the level of competition will remain high in the future, which could limit Butler's ability to maintain or increase its market share or profitability.
Accounting Changes
Goodwill represents costs in excess of fair values assigned to the underlying net assets of acquired companies. Effective January 1, 2002, the Company adopted SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" and as a result, goodwill is not amortized but tested for impairment annually, or more frequently if events or changes on circumstances indicate the asset might be impaired. The Company set an annual impairment testing date of June 30. An impairment charge will only be recognized when the implied fair value of a reporting unit, including goodwill, is less than the carrying amount. There were no changes in the carrying amount of goodwill during the first six months of 2005.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
At June 30, 2005, the Company had cash of approximately $0.3 million and working capital of $31.6 million compared to cash of $1.3 million and working capital of $27.2 million at the end of December 2004. Accounts receivable as measured in day's sales outstanding ("DSO") at June 30, 2005 was 52.7 DSO as compared with 52.1 DSO at December 31, 2004. At June 30, 2005, the Company had approximately $33.7 million of borrowings committed ($27.8 million of revolving credit facility loans plus $5.9 million of letters of credit) under its revolving credit facility with General Electric Capital Corporation ("GECC"), leaving approximately $3.4 million of availability for that week. The Company also has two term loans with GECC. The June 30, 2005 balance outstanding under GECC Term Loan A was $12 million and under Term Loan B was $18 million. The Company also has a ten-year mortgage for its corporate office facility with a balance of $6.7 million at June 30, 2005.
The Company funds its operations primarily with cash generated by operations and borrowings under its existing revolving credit facility with GECC. The ability to borrow under the existing revolving credit facility varies weekly and depends on the amount of eligible collateral, which, in turn, depends on certain advance rates applied to the value of accounts receivable. Daily cash collected from customers is deposited into accounts controlled by GECC and is transferred to pay down the Company's borrowings. The Company's cash requirements are funded daily by GECC provided there are available funds. The Company has borrowed under the revolving credit facility to pay required quarterly term loan payments. Revenue, and gross margin levels, and selling, general, and administrative expenses, along with working capital requirements affect operating cash flow and any deterioration in the Company's performance on these financial measures would have a negative impact on the Company's liquidity. Additionally, capital spending activity and letters of credit required by insurance companies or lenders reduce the availability of borrowing from GECC. The Company is in compliance with required covenants, as amended and/or waived as described under Financing Activities below.
Management anticipates that the existing resources and working capital should be sufficient to satisfy the Company's foreseeable cash requirements. Of course, such expectations may prove to be incorrect. Moreover, should the Company's operations generate losses GECC could require the Company to seek alternative or additional financing sources. There can be no assurance that any additional financing or other sources of capital will be available on acceptable terms or at all. The inability to obtain additional financing, if needed, would have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations.

BUTLER INTERNATIONAL, INC.
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)
Operating Activities
During the first six months of 2005 cash used in operations was $3.1 million as compared with cash used in operations of $5.8 million during the first six months of 2004. Although the Company had net income of approximately $1.8 million for the first half of 2005, net spending on working capital, notably accounts receivable, to fund growth in sales resulted in negative cash flow from operations. Non-cash charges included $0.8 million of depreciation and amortization expense, $0.5 million charged to the provision for doubtful accounts and $1.1 million for deferred taxes.
Investing Activities
During the first six months of 2005, capital expenditures were approximately $1.0 million, as compared with approximately $0.4 million during the first six months of 2004. The increase in 2005 capital spending was in response to an increase in equipment and infrastructure investments required to support increased sales in the current year.
Financing Activities
Cash provided by financing activities was approximately $2.8 million in the first half of 2005 as compared with approximately $6.1 million in the first half of 2004. The current quarter financing activity resulted from an increase in borrowings under the Company's revolving credit facility to fund working capital requirements and capital spending and repay long-term debt.
The Company's revolving credit facility (the "Credit Facility") is scheduled to expire in July 2006. The Company plans to renew, extend or refinance this facility prior to its scheduled expiration. The Company's Credit Facility, as amended, contains various restrictive covenants that must be complied with on a continuing basis, including the maintenance of certain financial ratios (minimum fixed charge coverage, minimum interest coverage, maximum capital expenditures, maximum leverage, and minimum tangible net worth) and restrictions on the amount of cash dividends, loans and advances within the consolidated group as well as other customary covenants, representations and warranties, funding conditions and events of default. The Company has standby letters of credit in the amount of $3.9 million as collateral against its insurance program. These letters of credit are renewed annually. The Company also has a $2.0 million letter of credit associated with its mortgage note.
On September 1, 2005, the Company received Amendment No. 11 and Limited Waiver to the General Electric Credit Corporation ("GECC") Revolving Credit facility ("Credit Facility"). The Amendment extended the Credit Facility maturity date to July 1, 2006. The maturity date of the Credit Facility is one year and one day from the end of the second quarter of 2005 and as such the Company classifies that portion of the Credit Facility debt which is not due to be paid within the upcoming four quarters as long-term debt. The Waiver granted the Company two weeks of additional time, until September15, 2005, to file the June 30, 2005 Form 10-Q. The Company was in default under the Credit Facility for not filing the June 30, 2005 Form 10-Q on time. As part of the Amendment, GECC will require the Company to issue 10,000 shares of Company Stock to GECC commencing March 31, 2006 and continuing each month thereafter until the Credit Facility is terminated, provide monthly cash flow forecasts to GECC, and pay a one-time $50,000 fee. The Amendment also reduces the maximum Leverage Ratio Covenant from 4.35 to 4.10 for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2005 and each quarter thereafter.
The Company has received a number of Credit Facility debt maturity extensions from GECC. There can be no assurance that future debt maturity extensions ("Extensions") will be granted by GECC. If Extensions are not provided by GECC, the Credit Facility would be recorded as short-term debt. The Company currently does not have the operating cash flow or available funds to retire that amount of debt within one year. The Company is planning to refinance the GECC debt before July 1, 2006. The Company is in the process of selling its Montvale, New Jersey building. The proceeds will be used to reduce the amount of refinancing required. If the Company is not able to refinance the remaining debt entirely, it will seek additional forms of capital, such as equity, or consider selling a portion of the business. There can be no assurance, however, that alternative or additional financing will be available. If the alternative or additional financing is not available, it may have an adverse impact on the Company's normal business operations.
21
BUTLER INTERNATIONAL, INC.
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)
Additionally, as a result of not filing its 2004 Form 10-K timely, the Company was in default under its Credit Facility with GECC. GECC previouslygranted the Company, on July 19, 2005, a temporary waiver for not delivering the 2004 Form 10-K and March 31, 2005 Form 10-Q on a timely basis. GECC required the Company to file its 2004 Form 10-K within one week of the date of the waiver and its March 31, 2005 Form 10-Q within four weeks of the date of the waiver. Additionally, GECC imposed a cap on the maximum amount of accounts payable and/or debt Chief Executive can have payable to the Company. The cap is $10.6 million through December 31, 2005 and $10.4 million thereafter.
As a result of not timely filing its June 30, 2005 Form 10-Q, the Company was in default under its Credit Facility with GECC. GECC granted the Company a temporary waiver on September 1, 2005 for not delivering the June 30, 2005 Form 10-Q on a timely basis. GECC required that the Company file its June 30, 2005 Form 10-Q within two weeks of the date of the waiver. As part of Amendment No. 11 to the Credit Facility, GECC will require the Company to issue 10,000 shares of Company Stock to GECC commencing March 31, 2006 and continuing each month thereafter until the Credit Facility is terminated, provide monthly cash flow forecasts to GECC, and pay a one-time $50,000 fee. The Amendment also reduces the maximum Leverage Ratio Covenant from 4.35 to 4.10 for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2005 and each quarter thereafter.
On July 26, 2005, the Company filed its 2004 Form 10-K and 2004 Form 11-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). On August 12, 2005 the Company filed its March 31, 2005 quarterly report on Form 10-Q with the SEC. On September 1, 2005 the Company filed its June 30, 2005 quarterly report on Form 10-Q with the SEC. These reports were filed within the timeframes permitted by GECC.
RECENTLY ISSUED FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 123 (Revised 2004), "Share-Based Payment," that requires the Company to expense costs related to share-based payments to employees. With limited exceptions, SFAS No. 123R requires that the fair value of share-based payments to employees be expensed over the period service is received. SFAS No. 123R is scheduled to be effective beginning in the third quarter of fiscal 2005. SFAS No. 123R allows for either prospective recognition of compensation expense or retroactive recognition, which may date back to the original issuance of SFAS No. 123 or only to interim periods in the year of adoption. The Company is evaluating these transition methods. The impact of adoption of SFAS No. 123R cannot be predicted at this time because it is dependent on the fair value and number of share-based payments granted in the future. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this statement.
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 153, "Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets, an amendment of APB No. 29" effective for nonmonetary asset exchanges occurring in the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2006. SFAS No. 153 requires that exchanges of productive assets be accounted for at fair value unless fair value cannot be reasonably determined or the transaction lacks commercial substance. SFAS No. 153 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated results of operations and financial position.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk
The Company uses financial instruments, including fixed and variable rate debt, to finance operations, for capital spending programs and for general corporate purposes. The Company is exposed to market risk primarily from changes in interest rates, and to a lesser extent, changes in foreign currency rates. In managing exposure to these fluctuations, the Company may engage in various hedging transactions that have been authorized according to documented policies and procedures. The Company does not use derivatives for trading purposes. The Company's capital costs are directly linked to financial and business risks.
The Company's international operations are directed from its office in Hyderabad, India. International operations accounted for less than 1% of the Company's sales for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2005. In the first six months of 2005, changes in foreign currency rates had an immaterial impact on sales and earnings per share.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures
Based on the evaluation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) required by Securities Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(b) or 15d-15(b), the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, with the participation of the Company's management team, have concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act was recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities Exchange Commission.
The Company did not file its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004 and Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2005 timely with the SEC. Additional time was required to review the Company's accounting treatment of Chief Executive and related receivables for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003. As a result of the untimely filings noted above, the Company could not file its Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2005 by August 22, 2005. See Note 14. "Subsequent Events" of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for more information.
Change in internal controls.
During the period covered by this report, there were no changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's financial reporting.
