LONG ISLAND CITY, N.Y. - (BUSINESS WIRE) - KSW, Inc. (NASDAQGM: KSW) today reported financial results for the third quarter and first nine months of 2009.

The Company reported net income of $264,000, or $.04 per share (basic and diluted) for the third quarter of 2009, as compared to a net income of $1,321,000 or $.21 per share (basic and diluted), for the third quarter of 2008.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2009, the Company reported net income of $674,000, or $.11 per share (basic and diluted), as compared to net income of $3,235,000, or $.52 per share-basic and $.51 per share-diluted, for the nine months ended September 30, 2008.

Total revenue for the third quarter of 2009 decreased $12,346,000 or 48.4% to $13,181,000, as compared to $25,527,000 for the third quarter of 2008. Total revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 decreased by $18,508,000 or 27.2% to $49,508,000, as compared to $68,016,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008.

The Company's backlog at the end of the third quarter was approximately $134,300,000. Chairman of the Board, Floyd Warkol, commented: "Revenue for the third quarter was reduced by the cancellation this past December of projects, totaling approximately $60,000,000, which would have been underway during the quarter. The Company has since been able to shift its focus to the public sector, securing projects such as the chiller plants at the World Trade Center and Brookhaven National Laboratories. Interest in our Trade Management services still remains strong, and work is starting on the Mount Sinai Center for Science and Medicine. These efforts have increased our backlog to a near record level."
