Item 8.01                      Other Events

 

On June 25, 2008, American Defense Systems, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing that the Company had secured contracts from the U.S. Army and Marine Corps. to provide Crew Protection Up-Armor Kits and spare parts for multiple types of engineering and construction vehicles.  The total value of such contracts is $7.7 million and is expected to be realized during 2008.  Of the $7.7 million, $3.6 million represents the Company’s contract with the U.S. Army TACOM dated March 2008, as amended in June 2008.  $4.0 million of the $7.7 million is comprised of a $1.3 million task order issued in June 2008 under one of the Company’s U.S. Army TACOM contracts (Contract No. W56HZV-06-C-0038) and $2.7 million in task orders issued in June 2008 under another of the Company’s U.S. Army TACOM contracts (Contract No. W56HZV-05-D-0382).  The remaining portion of the $7.7 million is  comprised of supply contracts for spare parts with an approximate value of $68,000.

 

The value of the task orders has been included in the Company’s contract backlog amounts for 2008 previously disclosed in the Company’s Form 10 and Form 10-Q for the first quarter of 2008.  The $3.6 million contract has not been included in such previously disclosed backlog. The $68,000 supply contract has not and will not be included in the Company’s backlog as the Company does not include in backlog, component and hardware supply contracts because of their generally short-term nature.

The information contained in this Current Report on Form 8-K and in Exhibit 99.1 contains various “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.  These forward-looking statements are based on management’s belief as well as assumptions made by and information currently available to management.  Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, it can give no assurance that such expectations will prove to have been correct.  Such statements contain certain risks, uncertainty and assumptions, including, without limitation: the Company’s reliance on the U.S. government for a substantial amount of its sales and growth; decreases in U.S. government defense spending; the Company’s ability to contract further with the U.S. Department of Defense; the Company’s ability to comply with complex procurement laws and regulations; competition and other risks associated with the U.S. government bidding process; changes in the U.S. government’s procurement practices; the Company’s ability to obtain and maintain required security clearances; the Company’s ability to realize the full amount of revenues reflected in its backlog; the Company’s reliance on certain suppliers; and intense competition and other risks associated with the defense industry in general and the security-related defense sector in particular.  Should one or more of these risks materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those expected.  For a more thorough discussion of these factors, please refer to “Risk Factors” on page 19 of Amendment No. 3 to the Company’s Registration Statement on Form 10, filed April 22, 2008.  The forward-looking statements contained in this report and on such exhibits are
