3.	DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

These consolidated financial statements and footnotes include the financial position and operations of Cyalume Technologies Holdings, Inc. (“Cyalume”), a holding company that is the sole shareholder of Cyalume Technologies, Inc. (“CTI”) and of Cyalume Specialty Products, Inc. (“CSP”). CTI is the sole shareholder of Cyalume Technologies, SAS (“CTSAS”), Cyalume Realty, Inc. (“CRI”) and Combat Training Solutions, Inc. (“CTS”). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Our primary focus is providing tactical and training solutions to the military of the U.S. and other countries through both products and services.

CTI and CTSAS manufacture and sell chemiluminescent products and reflective and photoluminescent materials to military, ammunition, commercial and public safety markets. CTSAS is located in France and represents us in certain international markets, primarily Europe and the Middle East. CTI sells to customers in all other geographic markets. CTI’s and CTSAS’ business operations constitute the majority, based on revenues and assets, of the Company’s consolidated business operations.

CSP manufactures and sells specialty chemical products to the defense, pharmaceutical, cosmetic and other markets. CSP’s operations are located in Bound Brook, New Jersey.

CRI previously owned land located in Colorado Springs, Colorado. The land was transferred in connection with a 2013 legal settlement.

CTS provides its customers with battlefield effects simulation products while its services include planning and implementing tactical training exercises simulating real-world experiences. These products allow military and law enforcement professionals to maintain operational readiness through safe, live training and hands-on situational exercises.

The Company’s business is managed and financial results are reported as one segment. Our CEO, who is the Company’s chief operating decision maker, focuses on consolidated results to make strategic and tactical decisions. The Company’s one operating segment consists of three reporting units: Chemical Light (the operations of CTI, CTS and CTSAS), Specialty Products (the operations of CSP) and Other (the operations of CRI and the parent company Cyalume Technologies Holdings, Inc.).

The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. For the three months ended March 31, 2015, the Company had a net loss of approximately $0.1 million and generated approximately $1.2 million of cash in its operations. As of March 31, 2015, the Company has an accumulated deficit of approximately $103.7 million, stockholders’ deficit of approximately $0.3 million and the Company’s unrestricted cash balance was approximately $1.3 million.

Due to uncertainty about the Company’s ability to meet its current debt obligations, in their report on our annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2014, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm included an explanatory paragraph regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

In light of the Company’s results of operations, management has been evaluating various possibilities including but not limited to refinancing or restructuring the Company’s debt, reducing or eliminating operating expenses, and raising additional capital through the issuance of common or preferred stock or securities convertible into common stock. Effective May 18, 2015, the Company refinanced the majority of its debt (see Note 16).

Should additional financial support be required in the future, there can be no assurances that the Company will be successful in raising adequate additional financial support. If unable to do so, the Company would be required to reduce operations. The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability of assets and classification of assets and liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
