Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
     On April 24, 2008, Environmental Tectonics Corporation (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing its restated financial results for the third quarter and year-to-date of fiscal 2007 and for the full 2007 fiscal year, which ended February 23, 2007.
     The operating results reflect the formal investigation conducted by the Company’s Audit Committee, in conjunction with management, of the impact of the previously announced claim settlement with the U.S. Navy (the “Navy”) in June 2007. After investigation, it was determined that the carrying value of the claim receivable associated with the U. S. Navy dispute had been impaired during the third quarter of fiscal 2007. The impairment resulted from certain allegations made by the Navy, which subsequently resulted in a counterclaim being filed by the Navy against the Company. The Navy claim issue has now been fully resolved as described below.
     The restatement in the third quarter, third quarter year-to-date and full year results of fiscal 2007 involves one change, namely the recording of a reserve against a claim receivable for the full amount of the carrying value of $3,004,000 of the previously recorded claim receivable related to the Navy submarine decompression rescue chamber project. The effect of this adjustment results in a corresponding reduction in accounts receivable, an increase in net loss and a reduction in stockholder’s equity. As previously reported on a Form 8-K filed July 16, 2007, the Company had expensed the claim receivable during the first quarter of fiscal 2008, reflecting the aforementioned settlement with the Navy. Therefore, the first quarter operating results will be adjusted to reflect a reversal of the charge for the receivable, resulting in a $3,004,000 increase in net income. No other changes to the previously reported financial results were determined to be required.
     The Company’s independent registered public accounting firm is currently auditing financial statements for fiscal years 2007 and 2008. The Company expects to file Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the periods ended May 25, 2007, August 24, 2007 and November 23, 2007 and its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended February 29, 2008 on or before May 29, 2008.
     A copy of the press release issued by the Company on April 24, 2008 disclosing the Company’s restated financial results is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.
