Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

Note 1 – The Company

The Company was incorporated in Delaware in 2004 under the name Arpeggio Acquisition Corporation (“Arpeggio”), as a specified purpose acquisition corporation. On June 28, 2006, Arpeggio merged with Hill International, Inc. (“old Hill”), a Delaware corporation, and Arpeggio was the surviving entity of the merger. Following the merger, Arpeggio changed its name to Hill International, Inc. (“Hill” or “the Company”). The merger was accounted for as a reverse acquisition. Under this method of accounting, Arpeggio was treated as the “acquired” company for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, the merger was treated as the equivalent of old Hill issuing stock for the net monetary assets of Arpeggio, accompanied by a recapitalization. The historical consolidated financial statements relate to the business of old Hill and its consolidated subsidiaries.

Note 2 – Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited interim Consolidated Financial Statements were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and the interim financial statement rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, these statements include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the Consolidated Financial Statements. The consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 30, 2006.

The consolidated financial statements include our financial statements and those of our majority owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States 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 the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The interim operating results are not necessarily indicative of the results for a full year.

Commencing in 2007, we changed our financial reporting periods to coincide with the end of each calendar quarter. Prior to 2007, we utilized a 52-53 week fiscal year ending on the Saturday closest to December 31. The difference resulting from this change in reporting periods for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2007 is not significant.

Note 3 – Business Combination

On May 10, 2007, the Company acquired all of the common stock of KJM & Associates, Ltd. (“KJM”). KJM provides project management and project controls services primarily for the transportation and education markets. KJM is headquartered in Bellevue, Washington and provides the Company’s Project Management Group with new and expanded geographic coverage in Washington, Oregon, California, Arizona, Texas and New York.

The Company paid $9,350,000 consisting of $8,350,000 in cash plus 136,593 shares of restricted common stock of the Company (the “Restricted Shares”) initially valued at $1,000,000. The Restricted Shares were valued

based on the average closing price of the Company’s common stock for the 10 trading days prior to the closing date. The Restricted Shares will be held in escrow for one year as security for any indemnification obligations of KJM’s selling stockholder.

For its fiscal year ended December 31, 2006, KJM’s unaudited financial results included total revenues of $16,400,000, net revenues of $14,400,000, gross profit of $7,300,000, and operating profit of $1,300,000. As of April 30, 2007, KJM had unaudited stockholder’s equity of $2,700,000 and total backlog estimated at $21,000,000. The results of operations and cash flows for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2007 were not material.

The acquisition was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting, effective as of May 1, 2007, and accordingly, the results of operations and cash flows of KJM have been included in the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements for the period subsequent to the effective date. Since the Restricted Shares are subject to forfeiture, they will not be considered outstanding for accounting purposes until the end of the contingency period, at which time the fair value of those shares actually distributed will be accounted for as additional purchase consideration.

At June 30, 2007, the total purchase price, including acquisition expenses of $182,000, but excluding the Restricted Shares, which constitute contingent consideration, was $8,532,000. The Company is in the process of obtaining a detailed valuation of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed and, therefore, the allocation of the purchase price and the valuation of the assets and liabilities are subject to refinement. Until the detailed valuation is completed, the Company has not yet assigned any value to intangible assets. The following table summarizes the preliminary allocation of the purchase price based on the estimated fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date:


Current assets	$	4,109
Furniture and equipment		224
Other assets		120

Note 7 – Goodwill

In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards(“SFAS”) No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, the Company performs its annual goodwill impairment testing, by reportable segment, in the third quarter, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that goodwill may be impaired. Application of the goodwill impairment test requires significant judgments including estimation of future cash flows, which is dependent on internal forecasts, estimation of the long-term rate of growth for the businesses, the useful life over which cash flows will occur, and determination of the Company’s weighted average cost of capital. Changes in these estimates and assumptions could materially affect the determination of fair value and/or conclusions on goodwill impairment for each reporting unit.

The following table summarizes the changes in the Company’s carrying value of goodwill during 2007 (in thousands):


Segment	Balance at December 30, 2006		Additions		Translation Adjustments		Balance at June 30, 2007

Note 12 – Equity in Earnings of Affiliates

Stanley Baker Hill, LLC

Equity in earnings of affiliates reflects ownership by the Company of 33.33% of the members’ equity of Stanley Baker Hill, LLC (“SBH”). SBH is a joint venture formed in February 2004 between Stanley Consultants, Inc., Michael Baker, Jr. Inc., and Hill.

SBH has a contract for an indefinite delivery and indefinite quantity for construction management and general architect-engineer services for facilities in Iraq with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.

At June 30, 2007 and December 30, 2006, the Company reported receivables totaling $338,000 and $691,000, respectively, from SBH for work performed by the Company as a subcontractor to SBH. Such amounts were payable in accordance with the subcontract agreement between the Company and SBH.

Revenue from SBH pursuant to such subcontract agreement for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2007 and July 1, 2006 was $1,905,000 and $756,000, respectively and for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2007 and July 1, 2006 was $3,137,000 and $1,320,000, respectively.

Pike/Hill Joint Venture

There were no distributions from the Pike/Hill joint venture during the three- or six month periods ended June 30, 2007 and July 1, 2006.

Note 13 – Earnings per Share

Basic earnings per common share and diluted earnings per common share are presented in accordance with SFAS No. 128, Earnings per Share. Basic earnings per common share has been computed using the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per common share incorporates the incremental shares issuable upon the assumed exercise of stock options and warrants, if dilutive. Dilutive shares were 4,252,584 shares and 1,767,000 shares for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2007 and July 1, 2006, respectively, and were 4,364,613 shares and 1,767,000 shares for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2007 and July 1, 2006, respectively. Certain stock options and warrants were excluded from the 2007 calculations of diluted earnings per common share because their effect was antidilutive. The total number of such shares excluded from diluted earnings per common share was 1,710,659 shares and 13,600,000 shares for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2007 and July 1, 2006, respectively, and 1,443,702 shares and 13,600,000 shares for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2007 and July 1, 2006, respectively. The 2,300,000 common shares, which were issued in April 2007 in connection with the 2006 earn-out provision of the merger agreement with Arpeggio, have been included, effective January 1, 2007, in both the basic and diluted weighted average shares for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2007.

Note 14 – Share-Based Compensation

At June 30, 2007, the Company had 855,000 options outstanding with a weighted average exercise price of $7.62. During the six months ended June 30, 2007, the Company granted 840,000 options, which vest over a five-year period, with a weighted average exercise price of $7.69 and a contractual life of seven years. The aggregate fair value of the options was $2,560,000 calculated using the Black-Scholes valuation model. The weighted average assumptions used to calculate the fair value were: expected life – five years; volatility – 37.4% and risk free interest rate – 4.48%. During 2007, options for 10,000 shares with a weighted average exercise price of $7.67 were forfeited.

Charges to expense are included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statement of Operations and amounted to $125,000 for the three-month period ended June 30, 2007 and $164,000 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2007.

On February 28, 2007, the Board of Directors approved for future issuance 340,000 shares of restricted common stock to certain of its employees. Such shares will be issued at the fair market value on the date of grant and will vest over a period of five years from the date of grant. Upon issuance, the Company will record compensation expense ratably over five years.

Note 15 – Warrants

The Company has 13,598,900 Redeemable Common Stock Purchase Warrants (the “Warrants”) issued and outstanding. Each Warrant entitles the holder to purchase from the Company one share of common stock at an exercise price of $5.00 commencing on June 28, 2006 (the completion of the Hill and Arpeggio merger) and expiring on June 23, 2008 (four years from the effective date of Arpeggio’s Initial Public Offering). The Warrants are redeemable at a price of $.01 per Warrant upon 30 days notice after the Warrants become exercisable, only in the event that the last sale price of the common stock is at least $8.50 per share for any 20 trading days within a 30 trading day period, ending on the third day prior to the date on which notice of redemption is given. During the six months ended June 30, 2007, holders exercised 1,100 warrants and the Company received proceeds of $5,500.

In connection with its Initial Public Offering, Arpeggio issued an option for $100 to the representative of the underwriters to purchase 300,000 Units at an exercise price of $9.90 per Unit. Each Unit consists of one share of the Company’s common stock and warrants to purchase two shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $6.25 per share. The option has not yet been exercised and expires in June 2009.

Note 16 – Income Taxes

In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (“FIN 48”), which provides criteria for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of uncertain tax positions. The Company adopted the provisions of FIN 48 on December 31, 2006, the first day of our fiscal year. As a result of the implementation of FIN 48, the Company has analyzed filing positions in all of the federal, state and foreign filing jurisdictions where it is required to file income tax returns, as well as all open years in those jurisdictions. In this regard, an uncertain tax position represents the Company’s expected treatment of a tax position taken in a filed tax return, or planned to be taken in a future tax return, that has not been reflected in measuring income tax expense for financial reporting purposes. As a result of this review, the Company concluded that at this time there are no uncertain tax positions which would require a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings.

The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and in various states and foreign jurisdictions. As a result of its acquisition of Knowles, the Company has an ongoing audit with Inland Revenue for two Knowles affiliates for the years ended in 2000 through 2005. The Company generally is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state or foreign examinations by tax authorities for tax years prior to 2004.

The Company’s policy is to record income tax related interest and penalties in income tax expense. At June 30, 2007, the Company had accrued $1.7 million for interest and penalties.

Note 17 – Business Segment Information

The Company’s business segments reflect how executive management makes resource decisions and assesses its performance. The Company bases these decisions on the type of services provided (Project Management and Construction Claims services) and secondarily by their geography (Americas, Europe, the Middle East and Asia/Pacific).

The Project Management business segment provides extensive construction and project management services to construction owners worldwide. Such services include program management, project management, construction management, project management oversight, staff augmentation, management consulting, and estimating and cost management services.

The Construction Claims business segment provides such services as claims consulting, litigation support, expert witness testimony, cost and damages assessment, delay and disruption analysis, lender advisory, and adjudication services to clients worldwide.

The Company evaluates the performance of its segments primarily on operating profit before corporate overhead allocations and income taxes.

Note 19 – Commitments and Contingencies

Litigation

commencement of the litigation on the basis of Hughes’ performance, made a cross claim against the Company and other parties for contribution and indemnification. Monroe Township is seeking approximately $89,000 in damages from the Company, in addition to an indemnification for Hughes’ claims. In relation to the Hughes claims, a claim was made against the Company by Fidelity and Deposit Company of Maryland (“F&D”). F&D is claiming damages in the range of $425,000 to $470,000. The F&D claim is being defended by the New Jersey Professional Liability Insurance Guarantee Association (“NJPLIGA”) and losses are covered up to $300,000. The Company believes that the claims of Hughes, Monroe Township and F&D are without merit.

On September 22, 1999, Wartsila NSD North America, Inc. filed a complaint against the Company in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey. Wartsila alleged negligence, breach of contract and fraud against the Company in connection with plaintiff’s hiring of a former Company employee and sought damages in excess of $7,300,000. A jury verdict was rendered on March 6, 2006. The jury found that the Company was negligent and breached the contract with plaintiff but that the Company did not commit fraud. The jury awarded damages of approximately $2,000,000. The Company filed a Motion to Mold the Verdict and to Enter Judgment consistent with the parties’ contract which contains a limitation of liability clause which limits the Company’s liability, absent fraud, to direct damages. In connection with the Arpeggio and Hill merger described in Note 1, stockholders of the pre-merger Hill International, Inc. have escrowed a total of 1,450,000 shares of the Company’s stock to satisfy non-tax indemnification claims by the Company arising out of this and certain other matters (see below). Liability in this matter, if any, will ultimately be satisfied from such escrowed shares under the terms of an escrow agreement. Following the satisfaction of its indemnification claims arising out of this matter, the Company intends to maintain any such shares as treasury stock. On June 28, 2006 the Court denied the Company’s motion and the Company subsequently filed a Notice of Appeal on July 26, 2006 with the Third Circuit Court of Appeals. The Company has posted a letter of credit securing the judgment plus pre- and post-judgment interest in the amount of $3,350,000 as of June 30, 2007. At December 30, 2006, a previously posted letter of credit was secured by cash collateral and included in “cash-restricted” on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet. The Company also recorded a corresponding accrued liability in the amount of $3,350,000 included in “Accrued liabilities” on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2007 and December 30, 2006. From the shares held in escrow, 451,665 shares representing $3,350,000 has been allocated at June 30, 2007 to the Company for satisfaction of the judgment and will be placed in treasury stock in the event the judgment is ultimately paid.

On April 27, 1999, Dirk Epperson and Betty Schneider filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the District of Connecticut against the Company seeking to enforce against the Company and others a default judgment against HAESI Software, Inc. (“HAESI”) in the approximate amount of $423,000. Plaintiff alleged that the Company was the alter ego of HAESI and is liable for its debts and that the Company engaged in a fraudulent transfer of HAESI to a third party. The court dismissed the fraudulent conveyance case and on December 12, 2005 the Second Circuit denied plaintiffs’ appeal of the dismissal. On March 21, 2006, the plaintiff filed a Petition for Writ of Certiorari with the United States Supreme Court which was denied on May 22, 2006. The Company believes that the plaintiffs’ remaining claim is without merit.

On May 28, 2004, Sims Group, Inc. (“Sims”) filed a Demand for Arbitration with the American Arbitration Association alleging breach of contract against the Company. The plaintiff was a subcontractor to the Company and sought the alleged contract balance owed of $1,300,000. The Company filed a counterclaim on July 2, 2004 alleging fraud and breach of contract. This matter was arbitrated during April 2006 and an arbitration award was issued on June 28, 2006 awarding Sims $1,250,000 plus costs of $33,000. The Company had accrued a liability of $772,000 related to this matter prior to September 30, 2005. In connection with the Arpeggio and Hill merger described in Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, stockholders of the pre-merger Hill International, Inc. have escrowed 1,450,000 shares of the Company’s stock to satisfy non-tax indemnification claims by the Company arising out of this and certain other matters. Liability in this matter in excess of amounts accrued as of September 30, 2005 will be satisfied from such escrowed shares. In October 2006, the Company made a payment of approximately $1,300,000 to claimant to satisfy this matter in full. From the

shares held in escrow, 69,540 shares representing $515,777 has been allocated at June 30, 2007 to the Company for satisfaction of the judgment and will be placed in treasury upon satisfaction under the terms of an escrow agreement.

General Litigation

From time to time, the Company is a defendant or plaintiff in various legal actions which arise in the normal course of business. As such the Company is required to assess the likelihood of any adverse outcomes to these matters as well as potential ranges of probable losses. A determination of the amount of the provision required for these commitments and contingencies, if any, which would be charged to earnings, is made after careful analysis of each matter. The provision may change in the future due to new developments or changes in circumstances. Changes in the provision could increase or decrease the Company’s earnings in the period the changes are made. In the opinion of management, after consultation with legal counsel, the ultimate resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.

Note 20 – Subsequent Events

Subsequent to June 30, 2007, the Company has received proceeds amounting to $2,875,000 upon the exercise of warrants to purchase 575,000 shares of its common stock at an exercise price of $5.00 per share.

Item 2.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

We make forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. We use forward-looking words such as “may,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “contemplate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “intends,” and “continue” or similar words. You should read statements that contain these words carefully because they discuss future expectations, contain projections of future results of operations or financial condition or state other “forward-looking” information However, there may be events in the future that we are not able to predict accurately or over which we have no control. Examples of risks, uncertainties and events that may cause actual results to differ materially from the expectations described by us in such forward-looking statements include those described in Part I, Item 1A “Risk Factors” of our 2006 Form 10-K. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of hereof. All forward-looking statements included herein attributable to us are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements contained or referred to in this section. Except to the extent required by applicable laws and regulations, we undertake no obligations to update these forward-looking statements.

We were incorporated in Delaware in 2004, under the name Arpeggio Acquisition Corporation (“Arpeggio”), as a specified purpose acquisition corporation. On June 28, 2006, we merged with Hill International, Inc. (“old Hill”), a Delaware corporation, and Arpeggio was the surviving entity of the merger. Old Hill was founded in 1976 by our current Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Irvin E. Richter. Following the merger, we changed our name to Hill International, Inc. In this report, the terms “Company,” “we,” or “Hill” mean Hill International, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries. All historical statements relate to the business of old Hill and its consolidated subsidiaries.

We provide fee-based services to clients worldwide, but primarily in the United States, Europe, the Middle East and Asia/Pacific. Our clients include the United States and other national governments and their agencies, state and local governments and their agencies and the private sector. Hill is organized into two key operating segments: the Project Management Group and the Construction Claims Group.

Our Project Management Group provides fee-based or “agency” construction management services to our clients leveraging our construction expertise to identify potential trouble, difficulties and sources of delay on a construction project before they develop into costly problems. Our Construction Claims Group, advises clients in order to assist them in preventing or resolving claims and disputes based upon schedule delays, cost overruns and other problems on major construction projects worldwide.

We believe we are a world leader in both the project management and construction claims consulting businesses. We are a global company with over 1,500 employees operating out of nearly 70 offices in more than 25 countries.

We derive our revenues from fees for professional services. As a service company we are labor intensive rather than capital intensive. Our revenue is driven by our ability to attract and retain qualified and productive employees, identify business opportunities, secure new and renew existing client contracts, provide outstanding services to our clients and execute projects successfully. Our income from operations is derived from our ability to generate revenue and collect cash under our contracts in excess of direct labor and other direct costs of executing the projects, subcontractors and other reimbursable costs and selling, general and administrative costs.

We believe there are high barriers to entry for new competitors, particularly in the project management sector. We compete for business based on reputation and past experience, including client requirements for substantial similar project and claims experience of the firm. We have developed significant long-standing relationships which bring us repeat business and would be very difficult to replicate. We have an excellent reputation for developing and rewarding employees, which allows us to attract and retain superior professionals.

Critical Accounting Policies

The Company’s interim financial statements were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, which require management to make subjective decisions, assessments and estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. As the number of variables and assumptions affecting the judgment increases, such judgments become even more subjective. While management believes its assumptions are reasonable and appropriate, actual results may be materially different than estimated. The critical accounting estimates and assumptions identified in the Company’s 2006 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed March 30, 2007 with the Securities and Exchange Commission have not materially changed.

Commencing in 2007, we changed our reporting periods to coincide with the end of each calendar quarter. Prior to 2007, we utilized a 52-53 week fiscal year ending on the Saturday closest to December 31. The difference resulting from this change in reporting periods for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2007 is not significant.

Total	$	68,951	100.0	%	$	43,482	100.0	%	$	25,469	58.6	%

The increase in project management revenue consists of a $2,935,000 increase in foreign project management revenue and a $6,999,000 increase in domestic project management revenue. The increase in foreign project management revenue was due to a $1,067,000 increase generated in the Middle East and a $1,868,000 increase generated in Europe due to new projects. The increase in domestic project management revenue was primarily due to a $3,224,000 increase in our New York City office where several projects began during 2006 and 2007. Of this increase, $1,549,000 was for use of subcontractors. We use subcontractors for a variety of reasons, including providing at-risk construction services on contracts where such work is required by a client (generally known as “CM/Build” contracts) since we do not provide such services. The New York City office projects are principally CM/Build contracts which require more subcontracting work. An increase in revenue of $1,275,000 for the Iraq projects and $3,124,000 in revenue for KJM & Associates, Ltd. (“KJM”) (acquired effective May 1, 2007) also contributed to the increase in domestic project management revenue.

The increase in construction claims revenue is due to a $14,213,000 increase in foreign construction claims revenue and an increase of $1,322,000 in domestic construction claims revenue. The increase in foreign construction claims revenue consists of $11,518,000 generated in Europe and Asia Pacific, primarily as a result of the acquisition of Knowles in August 2006, a $1,715,000 increase in our London office (excluding Knowles) and an increase of $980,000 in the Middle East, primarily due to the Knowles acquisition. The Company believes that the integration is progressing as expected, and the former Knowles operations

in the U.S. and Middle East have been consolidated into Hill effective January 1, 2007. The increase in domestic claims revenue of $1,322,000 is principally attributable to an increase of $803,000 in our New Jersey office, an increase of $175,000 in the West Coast offices (San Francisco and Los Angeles) and an increase of $188,000 in our Washington DC office as a result of increased business development efforts.

Reimbursable Expenses

Total	$	20,527	100.0	%	$	15,484	100.0	%	$	5,043	32.6	%

Reimbursable expenses consist of amounts paid to subcontractors and other third parties and travel and other job related expenses that are contractually reimbursable from clients. The increase in project management reimbursable expense was primarily due to a $1,549,000 increase in reimbursable subcontractors’ fees in our New York City office as described above. The amount and timing of reimbursable expenses is dependent on the work performed, however we believe that the amount of reimbursable expenses in 2007 is indicative of the amount of expenditures relative to revenues that we would expect in future periods. The increase in construction claims reimbursable expenses is due to the expansion of our business in Europe and Asia Pacific in the amount of $2,162,000 primarily due to Knowles and an increase of $738,000 in our London office (excluding Knowles).

Revenue Less Reimbursable Expenses

Total	$	48,424	100.0	%	$	27,998	100.0	%	$	20,426	73.0	%

Project management RLRE increased at a greater rate than project management revenues because reimbursable expenses did not increase proportionately with revenues. Construction claims RLRE grew in Europe and Asia Pacific in the amount of $9,357,000 primarily due to the acquisition of Knowles. Claims RLRE growth did not keep pace with the increase in revenue due to the increased use of subcontractors and higher other reimbursable expenses related to the construction claims business in 2007.

A significant trend in the distribution of our RLRE in recent years has been the increase of RLRE attributable to the Middle East. Growth in our RLRE in the Middle East has been strong because there has been a significant increase in construction activity in a number of the countries in the Middle East (including the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain and Oman) where we do business. In addition, Iraq reconstruction efforts funded by the United States government have led to additional work for us. The recent acquisition of KJM has provided our Project Management Group with new and expanded geographic coverage and opportunities in the West and Southwest United States.

We measure the performance of many of our key operating metrics as a percentage of RLRE, as we believe that this is a better measure of operating performance than total revenue. Throughout this discussion we have used RLRE as the denominator in many of our ratios.

Direct expenses consist of labor expenses for time charged directly to contracts and non-reimbursable job related travel and out-of-pocket expenses. The project management direct expense increase is principally due to an increase in direct labor of $3,910,000 required to produce the increase in RLRE.

The construction claims direct expense increase is primarily due to an increase in direct labor of $6,139,000 required to produce the increase in RLRE.

The increase in gross profit is the result of the increase in RLRE for both project management and construction claims. The construction claims increase included $4,716,000 in Europe and Asia Pacific primarily due to the Knowles acquisition. The increase in gross profit as a percentage of RLRE is due to the higher portion of the RLRE from construction claims (principally due to the Knowles acquisition) which has significantly higher gross profit margins than project management.

Selling, General and Administrative (“SG&A”) Expenses

SG&A Expenses	$	18,785	38.8	%	$	9,748	34.8	%	$	9,037	92.7	%

SG&A increased as a percentage of RLRE is partially attributable to increased costs associated with becoming a publicly held company since June 28, 2006.

The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses is primarily attributable to the following:

•

An increase of $3,863,000 due to the selling, general and administrative expenses of Knowles’ operations in Europe and Asia Pacific, excluding amortization of intangibles.

•

An increase in unapplied and indirect labor expense of $2,849,000 due to increases in staff required to produce and support the increase in revenue as well as a build-up of corporate headquarters staffing in connection with becoming a public company in late June 2006. This includes $793,000 for KJM which was acquired effective May 1, 2007.

•

An increase of $320,000 in insurance expense due to the increase in work volume and offices overseas.

•

An increase in bad debt expense of $304,000.

•

An increase of $299,000 in outside accounting and consulting fees due to increased auditing and Sarbanes-Oxley compliance requirements principally associated with becoming a public company.

•

An increase of $251,000 in administrative travel expense related to corporate executive and business development travel in support of the Company’s growing overseas operations.

•

An increase of $225,000 in rent expense due to expansion in London and Europe in support of revenue and staff growth and $120,000 increase due to KJM.

•

An increase of $205,000 in amortization expense due primarily to $232,000 of amortization of intangibles acquired in the Knowles acquisition and a decrease of $38,000 for other intangibles which were fully amortized by the end of 2006.

Equity in Earnings of Affiliates

Our share of the earnings of an affiliate, Stanley Baker Hill, LLC (“SBH”), increased $182,000, from $136,000 in the three months ended July 1, 2006 to $318,000 in the three months ended June 30, 2007.

SBH is a joint venture between Stanley Consultants, Inc. (“Stanley”), Michael Baker, Jr., Inc. (“Baker”) and us. Stanley, Baker and we each own an equal one-third interest in SBH. SBH has a contract for an indefinite delivery and indefinite quantity for construction management and general architect-engineer services for facilities in Iraq with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.

Operating Profit

Operating income was $4,005,000, which increased principally due to higher RLRE and gross profit, partially offset by higher direct and SG&A expenses.

Interest Expense, net

Net interest expense increased in the three months ended June 30, 2007 as compared to the three months ended July 1, 2006, primarily due to net interest expense of $79,000 attributable to the Knowles acquisition.

Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes increased by $302,000 in the first three months of 2007 over the comparable prior year period principally due to higher taxable income.

The effective tax rates for the three months ended June 30, 2007 and July 1, 2006 were 23.8% and 24.7%, respectively, principally due to the effect of lower foreign income tax rates.

Net Income

Our net income was $2,807,000, or $.10 per diluted share, for the three months ended June 30, 2007 based upon 28,854,000 diluted shares outstanding as compared to net income of $1,746,000, or $0.13 per diluted share, in the three months ended July 1, 2006 based upon 13,818,000 diluted shares outstanding. The diluted income per share for 2007 was unfavorably impacted by additional shares and warrants outstanding due to the merger of Hill and Arpeggio in June 2006. Overall profitability improved by $1,061,000, or 60.8%, due to an increase in RLRE and an increase in gross profit as a percent of RLRE, partially offset by higher direct, SG&A, interest and tax expenses.

Results of Operations

Revenue

*(in thousands)*	$		%		$		%		$		%
Project Management	$	92,375	70.0	%	$	70,860	88.3	%	$	21,515	30.4	%
Construction Claims		39,500	30.0	%		9,430	11.7	%		30,070	318.9	%

Total	$	131,875	100.0	%	$	80,290	100.0	%	$	51,585	64.2	%

The increase in project management revenue consists of an $8,548,000 increase in foreign project management revenue and a $12,967,000 increase in domestic project management revenue. The increase in foreign project management revenue was due to a $4,551,000 increase generated in the Middle East and a $3,997,000 increase generated in Europe due to business development efforts which resulted in new projects. The increase in domestic project management revenue was primarily due to a $8,676,000 increase in our New York City office where several projects began during 2007 and the second half of 2006. Of this increase, $5,539,000 was for use of subcontractors. We use subcontractors for a variety of reasons, including providing at-risk construction services on contracts where such work is required by a client (generally known as “CM/Build” contracts) since we do not provide such services. The New York City office projects are principally CM/Build contracts which require more subcontracting work. An increase in revenue of $1,961,000 for the Iraq projects and $3,124,000 in revenue for KJM (acquired effective May 1, 2007) also contributed to the increase in domestic project management revenue.

The increase in construction claims revenue is due to a $27,809,000 increase in foreign construction claims revenue and an increase of $2,261,000 in domestic construction claims revenue. The increase in foreign construction claims revenue consists of $22,851,000 generated in Europe and Asia Pacific, primarily as a result of the acquisition of Knowles in August 2006, a $3,016,000 increase in our London office (excluding Knowles) and an increase of $1,942,000 in the Middle East, primarily due to the Knowles acquisition. The Company believes that the integration is progressing as expected, and the former Knowles operations in the U.S. and Middle East have been consolidated into Hill effective January 1, 2007. The increase in domestic claims revenue of $2,261,000 is principally attributable to an increase of $1,493,000 in our New Jersey office and an increase of $516,000 in the West Coast offices (San Francisco and Los Angeles) resulting from new contract awards.

Total	$	38,889	100.0	%	$	26,941	100.0	%	$	11,948	44.3	%

Reimbursable expenses consist of amounts paid to subcontractors and other third parties and travel and other job related expenses that are contractually reimbursable from clients. The increase in project management reimbursable expense was primarily due to a $5,539,000 increase in reimbursable subcontractors’ fees in our New York City office as described above. The amount and timing of reimbursable expenses is dependent on the work performed, however we believe that the amount of reimbursable expenses in 2007 is indicative of the amount of expenditures relative to revenues that we would expect in future periods. The increase in construction claims reimbursable expenses is due to the expansion of our business in Europe and Asia Pacific in the amount of $4,334,000 primarily due to Knowles and an increase of $1,098,000 in our London office.

Total	$	92,986	100.0	%	$	53,349	100.0	%	$	39,637	74.3	%

Project management RLRE increased at a greater rate than project management revenues because reimbursable expenses, primarily attributable to the use of subcontractors, did not increase proportionately with revenues. Construction claims RLRE grew in Europe and Asia Pacific in the amount of $18,506,000 primarily due to the acquisition of Knowles. Claims RLRE growth did not keep pace with the increase in revenue due to the increased use of subcontractors and higher other reimbursable expenses related to the construction claims business in 2007.

A significant trend in the distribution of our RLRE in recent years has been the increase of RLRE attributable to the Middle East. Growth in our RLRE in the Middle East has been strong because there has been a significant increase in construction activity in a number of the countries in the Middle East (including the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain and Oman) where we do business. In addition, Iraq reconstruction efforts funded by the United States government have led to additional contracts for us. The recent acquisition of KJM has provided our Project Management Group with new and expanded geographic coverage and opportunities in the West and Southwest United States.

Direct expenses consist of labor expenses for time charged directly to contracts and non-reimbursable job related travel and out-of-pocket expenses. The project management direct expense increase is principally due to an increase in direct labor of $8,231,000 required to produce the increase in RLRE.

The construction claims direct expense increase is primarily due to an increase in direct labor of $11,388,000 required to produce the increase in RLRE. Direct expenses as a percentage of RLRE decreased in the six months ended June 30, 2007 as compared to the six months ended July 1, 2006 due to the increase in construction claims RLRE as a percentage of total RLRE. The construction claims business typically has less direct expenses as compared to the project management business.

The increase in gross profit is the result of the increase in RLRE for both project management and construction claims. The construction claims increase included $9,538,000 in Europe and Asia Pacific primarily due to the Knowles acquisition. The increase in gross profit as a percentage of RLRE is due to the higher portion of the RLRE from construction claims (principally due to the Knowles acquisition) which has significantly higher gross profit margins than project management.

Selling, General and Administrative (“SG&A”) Expenses

SG&A Expenses	$	36,540	39.3	%	$	19,424	36.4	%	$	17,116	88.1	%

The increase in SG&A is partially attributable to increased costs associated with becoming a publicly held company since June 28, 2006.

The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses is primarily attributable to the following:

•

An increase of $8,027,000 due to the selling, general and administrative expenses of Knowles’ operations in Europe and Asia Pacific, excluding amortization of intangibles.

•

An increase in unapplied and indirect labor expense of $5,280,000 due to increases in staff required to produce and support the increase in revenue as well as the build-up of corporate staffing in connection with becoming a public company. This includes $793,000 for KJM which was acquired on May 1, 2007.

•

An increase of $885,000 in outside accounting and consulting fees due to increased auditing and Sarbanes-Oxley compliance requirements principally associated with becoming a public company.

•

An increase of $418,000 in insurance expense due to the increase in work volume and offices overseas.

•

An increase of $384,000 in rent expense due to expansion in London and Europe in support of revenue and staff growth and $120,000 increase due to KJM.

•

An increase of $381,000 in administrative travel expense related to corporate executive and business development travel in support of the growing overseas operations.

•

An increase of $374,000 in amortization expense due primarily to $461,000 of amortization of intangibles acquired in the Knowles acquisition and a decrease of $75,000 for other intangibles which were fully amortized by the end of 2006.

•

An increase in bad debt expense of $206,000.

•

An increase in telephone expense of $187,000 due to the increase in staffing and work volume.

•

An increase in recruiting expense of $186,000 due to growth in staff hiring needs.

These increases in SG&A expenses were partially offset by a decrease in legal fees of $622,000 primarily related to the Wartsila and Sims litigation cases during 2006 (see Note 19 to the Consolidated Financial Statements).

Equity in Earnings of Affiliates

Our share of the earnings of an affiliate, Stanley Baker Hill, LLC (“SBH”), increased $353,000 from $202,000 for the six months ended July 1, 2006 to $555,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2007.

Operating Profit

Operating income was $7,482,000, which increased principally due to higher RLRE and gross profit, partially offset by higher direct and SG&A expenses.

Interest Expense, net

Net interest expense increased as compared to the six months ended July 1, 2006, primarily due to net interest expense of $108,000 attributable to the Knowles acquisition.

Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes increased by $671,000 in the first half of 2007 over the comparable prior year period principally due to a higher taxable income in 2007.

The effective tax rates for the six months ended June 30, 2007 July 1, 2006 were 23% and 24%, respectively, principally due to the effect of lower foreign income tax rates.

Net Income

Our net income was $5,267,000, or $.18 per diluted share, for the six months ended June 30, 2007 based upon 28,965,000 diluted shares outstanding as compared to net income of $2,980,000, or $0.22 per diluted share, for the six months ended July 1, 2006 based upon 13,808,000 diluted shares outstanding. The diluted income per share for 2007 was unfavorably impacted by additional shares and warrants outstanding due to the merger of Hill and Arpeggio in late June 2006. Overall profitability improved by $2,287,000, or 76.7%, due to an increase in RLRE and an increase in gross profit as a percent of RLRE, partially offset by higher direct, SG&A, interest and tax expenses.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Historically, we have funded our business activities with cash flow from operations and borrowings under credit facilities.

Credit Facilities

On December 18, 2006, we entered into a loan and security agreement with LaSalle Bank N.A. (“LaSalle”), which provides for up to $25,000,000 to be made available to us on a revolving basis (the “Credit Facility”). The Credit Facility provides for a letter of credit sub-facility of $10,000,000. The Credit Facility is secured by all of our domestic assets, including, without limitation, our accounts receivable, equipment, securities, financial assets and the proceeds of the foregoing, as well as by a pledge of 66.67% of the outstanding capital stock of the following subsidiaries: Hill International S.A., Hill International (UK) Ltd., Hill International (Middle East) Ltd. and James R. Knowles (Holdings) Ltd.

The Credit Facility is for a term extending until January 1, 2010. The Credit Facility provides for LIBOR loans and prime rate loans, payable at margins above either LaSalle’s prime rate or LIBOR based on the Company’s ratio of total debt to EBITDA ranging from 0 to 50 basis points above prime or 150 to 262.50 basis points above LIBOR. At June 30, 2007 the applicable margins were 25 basis points above LaSalle’s prime rate and 225 basis points above LIBOR. The Credit Facility contains covenants with respect to our minimum net worth, total debt to EBITDA ratios, fixed charge coverage ratios and billed accounts receivable to total debt ratios, as well as other financial covenants and certain restrictions on the incurrence of debt, on the making of investments, on the payment of dividends, on transactions with affiliates and other affirmative and negative covenants and events of default customary for facilities of its type. At June 30, 2007, the Company was in compliance with all of the financial covenants.

We currently have three additional credit facilities with international financial institutions as follows:

•

A credit facility with a bank in the Middle East for 5,000,000 AED (approximately $1,400,000 at June 30, 2007) collateralized by certain overseas receivables. The interest rate on that facility is the Emirates InterBank Offer Rate (“EIBOR”), which at June 30, 2007 was 5.5%, plus 2.0%. At June 30, 2007, there were no outstanding borrowings under this facility.

•

A credit facility with a European bank for 1,000,000 Euros (approximately $1,348,000 at June 30, 2007) secured by receivables from one specific project. The interest rate on this facility is bank prime, which at June 30, 2007 was 7.0%, plus 2.5%. At June 30, 2007, we had borrowings of approximately $175,000 under this facility.

Additional Capital Requirements

The $8,350,000 cash component of the purchase consideration for KJM & Associates, Ltd. was provided from our revolving credit facility in May 2007.

Due to our recent accelerated growth, we may experience lags between our receipt of fees from our clients and our payment of our costs. In order to continue our growth, and in light of the cash obligations described above, we have entered into a credit agreement that allows for borrowings up to $25,000,000 with LaSalle Bank N.A. However we may seek additional debt financing beyond this amount.

Sources of Additional Capital

After providing for $7,263,000 in letters of credit, we had $4,028,000 available for borrowing under our revolving credit facility with LaSalle Bank N.A. at August 1, 2007. The term of the facility extends through January 1, 2010.

At June 30, 2007, we had warrants outstanding to purchase 13,598,900 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $5.00 per share and an option to purchase 300,000 units for a price of $9.90 per unit. Each such unit consists of one share of our common stock and two warrants to purchase shares of our common stock at $6.25 each. All of the warrants expire on June 23, 2008. During the six months ended June 30, 2007, holders exercised 1,100 warrants and the Company received proceeds of $5,500. Subsequent to June 30, 2007, we have received proceeds amounting to $2,875,000 upon the exercise of warrants to purchase 575,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $5.00 per share. If all the outstanding warrants and the option were to be exercised, we would receive additional cash proceeds of $74,714,500, less expenses and any amounts paid to a solicitation agent.

We cannot provide any assurance that we will find other sources of financing, or that any of the outstanding warrants or options will be exercised.

Cash Flow Activity during the Six Months Ended June 30, 2007

For the six months ended June 30, 2007, our cash decreased by $2,041,000 to $9,178,000. Cash used in operations was $994,000, cash used in investing activities was $6,803,000 and cash provided by financing activities was $5,326,000. We also experienced an increase in cash of $430,000 from the effect of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations.

Operating Activities

Net cash used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2007 was $994,000. Cash provided by operations is attributable to net income of $5,267,000 for the year adjusted by non-cash items included in net income and working capital changes such as:

•

depreciation and amortization of $1,454,000;

•

bad debt expense of $761,000;

•

equity in earnings of affiliates of $555,000;

•

a deferred tax provision of $377,000;

•

stock based compensation expense of $164,000;

Working capital changes which increased cash provided from operations included the following:

•

an increase in accounts receivable - affiliates of $353,000 due to the timing of collections from SBH;

•

an increase in other current liabilities of $3,681,000 primarily due to the growth of business and the timing of payments relating to contracts.

Working capital changes which decreased cash provided from operations included the following:

•

an increase in accounts receivable of $10,320,000 due to increased revenue; the increase in accounts receivable results in an ending balance that approximates the average revenue per quarter;

•

decreases in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $301,000, principally relating to increases in operating expenses due to our growth;

•

a decrease in other liabilities of $1,123,000 due primarily to the payment of liabilities related to early leave terminations;

•

a decrease in deferred revenue of $952,000 primarily due to the timing of work performed on projects in Europe;

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities was $6,803,000. We paid $9,502,000, excluding acquisition expenses, principally in connection with the acquisition of KJM which provides our Project Management Group with new and expanded geographic coverage and opportunities in the West and Southwest United States and for the acquisition of the minority interest in a subsidiary of Knowles. We spent approximately $1,111,000 to purchase computers, office equipment, software and furniture and fixtures. We received $528,000 as distribution from affiliates. We also received $3,350,000 previously held as collateral for a letter of credit in connection with a legal judgement against the company.

Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities was $5,326,000. Due to bank increased $430,000 due to the timing of certain payments which were disbursed but not immediately funded by the bank. We received net advances on our senior credit facility of $5,989,000. We also made payments on capital leases of $153,000 and other bank borrowings of $779,000. When some of our subsidiaries paid dividends, approximately $166,000 was distributed to the minority stockholders. We also received $5,500 from the exercise of warrants.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

FASB Interpretation No. 157

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 157, Fair Value Measurements. SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. We do not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 157 to have a material impact on our financial statements.

In January 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Options for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. SFAS No. 159 provides a “Fair Value Option” under which a company may irrevocably elect fair value as the initial and subsequent measurement attribute for certain financial assets and liabilities. This Fair Value Option will be available on a contract-by-contract basis with changes in fair value recognized in earnings as those changes occur. The effective date for SFAS No. 159 is the beginning of each reporting entity’s first fiscal year end that begins after November 15, 2007. We do not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 159 to have a material impact on our financial statements.

Quarterly Fluctuations

Our operating results vary from period to period as a result of the timing of projects and the growth of our business. We do not believe that our business is seasonal.

Backlog

We believe a strong indicator of our future performance is our backlog of uncompleted projects under contract or awarded. The schedule below represents our backlog as of June 30, 2007. Our backlog represents management’s estimate of the amount of contracts and awards in hand that we expect to result in future revenue less reimbursable expenses (“RLRE”). Project management backlog is evaluated by management, on a project-by-project basis and is reported for each period shown based upon the binding nature of the underlying contract, commitment or letter of intent, and other factors, including the economic, financial and regulatory viability of the project and the likelihood of the contract being extended, renewed or cancelled. Construction claims backlog is based largely on management’s estimates of future revenue based on known construction claims assignments and historical results for new work. Because a significant number of construction claims may be awarded and completed within the same period, our actual construction claims revenue has historically exceeded backlog by a significant amount.

Our backlog is largely a reflection of the broader economic trends being experienced by our clients and is important to us in anticipating our operational needs. Backlog is not a measure defined in generally accepted accounting principles, and our methodology for determining backlog may not be comparable to the methodology used by other companies in determining their backlog.

At June 30, 2007, our backlog was approximately $294,000,000 compared to approximately $257,000,000 at March 31, 2007. We estimate that approximately $150,000,000, or 51%, of the backlog at June 30, 2007 will be recognized during the twelve months subsequent to June 30, 2007.

The schedule below includes backlog under two categories: (1) contracts for which work authorizations have been or are expected to be received on a time and material basis, fixed-price basis and not-to-exceed projects that are well defined and (2) contracts awarded to the company where some or all of the work has not yet been authorized. As of June 30, 2007, approximately $217,000,000 or 74%, of our backlog was in category (1) and approximately $77,000,000 or 26%, of our backlog was in category (2). We generally do not track and therefore have not disclosed whether the public sector contracts included in our backlog are fully funded, incrementally funded, or unfunded.

Included in category (2) of our backlog is the maximum amount of all indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity (“ID/IQ”), or task order, contracts, or a lesser amount if we do not reasonably expect to be issued task orders for the maximum amount of such contracts. Also included in category (2) of our backlog is the amount of anticipated revenues in option years beyond the base term of our contracts if we reasonably expect our clients to exercise such option years Although backlog reflects business that we consider to be firm, cancellations or scope adjustments may occur. Further, substantially all of our contracts with our clients may be terminated at will, in which case the client would only be obligated to us for services provided through the termination date. The impact of terminations and modifications on our realization of revenues from our backlog has not been significant. Furthermore, reductions of our backlog as a result of contract terminations and modifications may be more than offset by additions to the backlog.

We adjust backlog to reflect project cancellations, deferrals and revisions in scope and cost (both upward and downward) known at the reporting date; however, future contract modifications or cancellations may increase or reduce backlog and future revenues.

Legal Proceedings

Litigation

On September 23, 1996, William Hughes General Contractors, Inc. (“Hughes”) filed a complaint in the Superior Court of New Jersey, Law Division, Gloucester County, against the Monroe Township Board of Education, the Company and other parties, alleging breach of contract and other causes of action in connection with its performance of a construction project for Monroe Township, seeking in excess of $3,500,000 in damages. Monroe Township, which had terminated Hughes from the construction project prior to the commencement of the litigation on the basis of Hughes’ performance, made a cross claim against the Company and other parties for contribution and indemnification. Monroe Township is seeking approximately $89,000 in damages from the Company, in addition to an indemnification for Hughes’ claims. In relation to the Hughes claims, a claim was made against the Company by Fidelity and Deposit Company of Maryland (“F&D”). F&D is claiming damages in the range of $425,000 to $470,000. The F&D claim is being defended by the New Jersey Professional Liability Insurance Guarantee Association (“NJPLIGA”) and losses are covered up to $300,000. The Company believes that the claims of Hughes, Monroe Township and F&D are without merit.

On September 22, 1999, Wartsila NSD North America, Inc. filed a complaint against the Company in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey. Wartsila alleged negligence, breach of contract and fraud against the Company in connection with plaintiff’s hiring of a former Company employee and sought damages in excess of $7,300,000. A jury verdict was rendered on March 6, 2006. The jury found that the Company was negligent and breached the contract with plaintiff but that the Company did not commit fraud. The jury awarded damages of approximately $2,000,000. The Company filed a Motion to Mold the Verdict and to Enter Judgment consistent with the parties’ contract which contains a limitation of liability clause which limits the Company’s liability, absent fraud, to direct damages. In connection with the Arpeggio and Hill merger, stockholders of the pre-merger Hill International, Inc. have escrowed a total of 1,450,000 shares of the Company’s stock to satisfy non-tax indemnification claims by the Company arising out of this and certain other matters (see below). Liability in this matter, if any, will ultimately be satisfied from such escrowed shares under the terms of an escrow agreement. Following the satisfaction of its indemnification claims arising out of this matter, the Company intends to maintain any such shares as treasury stock. On June 28, 2006 the Court denied the Company’s motion and the Company subsequently filed a Notice of Appeal on July 26, 2006 with the Third Circuit Court of Appeals. The Company has posted a letter of credit securing the judgment plus pre- and post-judgment interest in the amount of $3,350,000 as of June 30, 2007. At December 30, 2006, a previously posted letter of credit was secured by cash collateral and included in “cash-restricted” on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet. The Company also recorded a corresponding accrued liability in the amount of $3,350,000 included in “Accrued liabilities” on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2007 and December 30, 2006. From the shares held in escrow, 451,665 shares representing $3,350,000 have been allocated at June 30, 2007 to the Company for satisfaction of the judgment and will be placed in treasury stock in the event the judgment is ultimately paid.

December 12, 2005 the Second Circuit denied plaintiffs’ appeal of the dismissal. On March 21, 2006, the plaintiff filed a Petition for Writ of Certiorari with the United States Supreme Court which was denied on May 22, 2006. The Company believes that the plaintiffs’ remaining claim is without merit.
