Item 2.05 Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities.

On February 19, 2008, Horne International, Inc. (the "Company") determined it will cease the operations of its subsidiary Spectrum Sciences & Software, Inc. ("SSSI"). The Company has made this determination based on the unit's continued unprofitability, a lack of long-term sustaining contracts, a negative financial forecast, and to enable the Company to focus more effectively on its other businesses. The Company expects SSSI contracts to be fully executed by the end of April 2008 and all closing activities completed by June 2008. An initial total estimated cost of $1,000,000 to close the subsidiary includes an estimated cash outlay of approximately $350,000, excluding any real property sales because we are unable to forecast the sale prices of currently listed properties. The largest components of our estimated costs are the estimated loss on disposition of assets, estimated at $400,000 and estimated space costs of $300,000. These costs and cash expenses will be incurred in the first and second quarters of 2008, and are in addition to normal operating costs that will be incurred prior to shut-down.
