Dear Fellow Shareholder:
 
On behalf of your Board of Directors, I cordially invite you to attend the 2011 Annual Meeting of Shareholders of Command Security Corporation, which will be held on September 13, 2011 at 1:00 p.m., Eastern Daylight Time.  We are very pleased that this year’s Annual Meeting will be our first completely virtual meeting of the shareholders, which will be conducted via live webcast.  You will be able to attend the 2011 Annual Meeting, online, vote your shares electronically and submit your questions during the Annual Meeting by visiting www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/MOC.
 
We are also very pleased to be using the Securities and Exchange Commission rule allowing companies to furnish proxy materials to shareholders electronically.  We believe that the e-proxy process expedites our shareholders' receipt of proxy materials, lowers the cost of distribution and reduces the environmental impact of our Annual Meeting.
 
In accordance with this rule, we sent a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials ("Notice of Internet Availability") on or about August 1, 2011 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on July 26, 2011.  The Notice of Internet Availability contains instructions on how to access our Proxy Statement and our Annual Report for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2011 and vote online.  If you did not receive a printed copy of our proxy materials and would like to receive one from us instead of downloading a printable version, please follow the instructions for requesting such materials included in the Notice of Internet Availability, as well as in the attached Proxy Statement.  Details of the business to be conducted at the Annual Meeting are given in the attached Notice of Annual Meeting of Shareholders and the attached Proxy Statement.  At the Annual Meeting, we will also respond to your questions.
 
Your vote is important.  Whether or not you plan to attend the Annual Meeting, we urge you to read our Proxy Statement and vote.  You may submit your proxy electronically, by telephone or by mail.
 
I look forward to our 2011 Annual Meeting of Shareholders.
 
   
Sincerely,
 
       
 
 
Barry I. Regenstein

GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT VOTING
 
General
 
 
This Proxy Statement has information about the Annual Meeting and was prepared by our management for our Board.  We sent the Notice of Internet Availability on or about August 1, 2011 to shareholders of record entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting.  All shareholders have the ability to access the proxy materials online and to download printable versions of the proxy materials or to request to receive a printed set of the proxy materials.  Instructions on how to access the proxy materials electronically or to request a printed copy can be found in the Notice of Internet Availability and in this Proxy Statement.

The specific proposals to be considered and acted upon at the Annual Meeting are summarized in the accompanying Notice of 2011 Annual Meeting.  Each proposal is described in more detail in this Proxy Statement.
 
Who can vote?
 
 
You can vote your shares of common stock if our records show that you owned the shares on the record date of July 26, 2011.  At July 26, 2011, there was a total of 10,878,098 shares of common stock outstanding all of which are eligible to be voted at the Annual Meeting.  You get one vote for each share of common stock that you hold.  Only holders of the Company’s common stock as of the record date are entitled to notice of and to vote on some or all of the matters listed in this Proxy Statement and the accompanying Notice of 2011 Annual Meeting.  The stock transfer books will not be closed between the record date and the date of the meeting.  A list of shareholders entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting will be available for examination at the Company’s principal executive offices at the address listed above for a period of at least 10 days prior to the Annual Meeting and during the Annual Meeting such list will be available for examination at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/MOC.

How do I vote if my shares are held in “street name”?
 
 
If on July 26, 2011, your shares were held in the name of your broker, dealer, bank, trustee or other nominee, that party should give you instructions for voting your shares.  In these cases, you may vote directly, electronically or by telephone or mail.  The instructions set forth below apply to shareholders of record (also referred to as “registered holders”) only and not those whose shares are held in the name of a nominee.
 
How do I vote by proxy if I am a registered holder?
 
 
If on July 26, 2011, your shares were registered directly in your name with our transfer agent, Computershare Investor Services, then you are a registered holder.  If you are a registered holder you may vote by granting a proxy.  The proxy holders will vote your shares as you instruct.  If you grant a proxy but do not vote on a proposal, the proxy holders will vote for you on that proposal.  Unless you instruct otherwise, the proxy holders will vote in the manner set forth below:

4.
In the manner that the proxy holders deem appropriate for any other proposal to be considered at the Annual Meeting.

The online and telephone voting procedures, which comply with New York law, are designed to authenticate shareholder’s identities, to allow shareholders to vote their shares and to confirm that their instructions have been properly recorded.

If you have received a printed copy of the proxy materials by mail, you may complete, sign and return by mail the proxy card sent to you together with the printed copies of the proxy materials.  The proxy card should be mailed to Command Security Corporation, c/o Broadridge Financial Solutions, 51 Mercedes Way, Edgewood, NY 11717.

1.
The election of three (3) Class I directors named herein to serve on our Board until our 2013 Annual Meeting of shareholders, or until their respective successors have been duly elected and qualified.
 
 
2.
The ratification of the appointment of D'Arcangelo & Co., LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2012.
 
 
3.
The amendment to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation to effect a reverse stock split of the Company’s common stock at a ratio of one-for-ten.
 
 
4.
To transact such other business as may properly come before the Annual Meeting and any adjournments or postponements thereof.  Our Board is not presently aware of any other matter that may be raised for consideration at the Annual Meeting.
 
 
7

 
 
The foregoing items of business are more fully described in the Proxy Statement.  None of the proposals requires the approval of any other proposal to become effective.
 
How does the Board of Directors recommend that I vote on the proposals?
 
The Board of Directors recommends a vote FOR the election of three (3) Class I directors named herein to serve on our Board (Proposal One); FOR the ratification of the appointment of D’Arcangelo & Co., LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2012 (Proposal Two); and FOR the amendment to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation to effect a reverse stock split of the Company’s common stock at a ratio of one-for-ten (Proposal Three).
 
What if other matters are presented at the Annual Meeting?
 
The matters described in this Proxy Statement are the only matters we know will be voted at the Annual Meeting.  If other matters are properly presented at the Annual Meeting, the proxy holders will vote your shares as they see fit.
 
Can I change my vote after I return my proxy?
 
Yes.  At any time before the vote on a proposal, you can change your vote either by giving our Corporate Secretary a written notice revoking your proxy, by attending the Annual Meeting online, by signing, dating and returning to us a new proxy or by voting again electronically or by telephone at a later time before the closing of those voting facilities at 11:59 p.m. EST on September 12, 2011.  We will honor the proxy with the latest date.  However, no revocation will be effective unless we receive notice of such revocation at or prior to the Annual Meeting.  For those shareholders who submit a proxy electronically or by telephone, the date on which the proxy is submitted in accordance with the instructions listed on the Notice of Internet Availability or proxy card is the date of the proxy.
 
Can I vote at the Annual Meeting rather than by completing a proxy?
 
Although we encourage you to complete and return a proxy prior to the Annual Meeting to ensure that your vote is counted, you can attend the Annual Meeting and vote your shares online by visiting www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/MOC.  You will need the 12-digit control number included on your Notice of Internet Availability or proxy card (if you receive a printed copy of the proxy materials) in order to be able to vote during the Annual Meeting.  If you vote by proxy and also attend the Annual Meeting, there is no need to vote again at the Annual Meeting unless you wish to change your vote.
 
How is a quorum obtained?
 
We will hold the Annual Meeting if a quorum is present.  A quorum will be present if holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock entitled to vote on a matter at the Annual Meeting are present in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting.  If a quorum is not present at the Annual Meeting, the Annual Meeting may be adjourned from time to time until a quorum is obtained.  If you submit a proxy, your shares will be counted to determine whether we have a quorum even if you abstain or fail to provide voting instructions on any of the proposals listed on the proxy card.  If your shares are held in the name of a nominee, and you do not tell the nominee how to vote your shares, these shares will be counted for purposes of determining the presence or absence of a quorum for the transaction of business.
 
How many votes are required to approve the proposals?
 
A plurality of the votes cast of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote on the election of directors is required for the election of directors.  Accordingly, the three nominees for Class I director receiving the highest number of affirmative votes for such class will be elected.  Because the nominees will be elected by a plurality vote, neither broker non-votes nor shares abstaining from the vote on the proposal to elect the slate of nominees will have an effect on the outcome of the election.
 
 
8

 
 
The affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting is required to ratify the Board’s appointment of our independent registered public accounting firm.  With respect to the approval of the ratification of the appointment of the independent registered public accountants, abstentions are considered to be shares present and entitled to be cast and will have the effect of a negative vote on the matter, and broker non-votes are not counted as shares eligible to vote and will have no effect on the outcome of the matter.  Shareholder ratification of the appointment of D'Arcangelo & Co., LLP as our independent registered public accountants is not required by our By-laws or other applicable legal requirement.  However, the Board is submitting the selection of D'Arcangelo & Co., LLP to the shareholders for ratification as a matter of good corporate governance.  If the shareholders fail to ratify the selection, the audit committee of our Board (the “Audit Committee”) will reconsider whether or not to retain that firm.  Even if the selection is ratified, the Audit Committee at its discretion may direct the appointment of a different independent registered public accounting firm at any time during the year if it determines that such a change would be in our and our shareholders' best interests.
 
The affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting is required to ratify the amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation to effect a reverse stock split.  Abstentions are considered to be shares present and entitled to be cast and will have the effect of a negative vote on the matter, and broker non-votes are not counted as shares eligible to vote and will have no effect on the outcome of the matter.
 
What is a “broker non-vote”?
 
The New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) has rules that govern brokers who have record ownership of listed company stock held in brokerage accounts for their clients who beneficially own the shares.  Under these rules, brokers who do not receive voting instructions from their clients have the discretion to vote uninstructed shares on certain matters (“discretionary matters”) but do not have discretion to vote uninstructed shares as to certain other matters (“non-discretionary matters”).  A broker may return a proxy card on behalf of a beneficial owner from whom the broker has not received instructions that casts a vote with regard to discretionary matters but expressly states that the broker is not voting on non-discretionary matters.  The broker’s inability to vote with respect to the non-discretionary matters with respect to which the broker has not received instructions from the beneficial owner is referred to as a “broker non-vote.”  Under current NYSE interpretations, Proposal One and Proposal Three are considered non-discretionary matters and Proposal Two is considered a discretionary matter.  Broker non-votes will have no effect on the outcome of Proposal One or Proposal Three.
 
 
Who will count the votes?
 
 
Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. will count the votes and act as the inspector of election.
 
 
9

 
 
Who is making and paying for this proxy solicitation?
 
This proxy is solicited on behalf of the Board.  The Company will pay the cost of distributing this Proxy Statement and related materials.  Our officers may solicit proxies by mail or telephone.  Upon request, we will furnish copies of these proxy materials to banks, brokers, fiduciaries, custodians and other nominees that hold shares on behalf of beneficial owners so that they may forward the materials to the beneficial owners.  The Company may, if appropriate, retain an independent proxy solicitation firm to assist the Company in soliciting proxies.  If the Company does retain a proxy solicitation firm, the Company would pay such firm’s customary fees and expenses which fees would be expected to be approximately $5,000, plus expenses.
 
Is my vote confidential?
 
Proxy cards and voting tabulations that identify individual shareholders are mailed or returned directly to Broadridge Financial Solutions and handled in a manner that protects your voting privacy.  Your vote will not be disclosed EXCEPT:
 
1.  
as needed to permit Broadridge Financial Solutions to tabulate and certify the vote;
 
2.  
as required by law; or
 
3.  
in limited circumstances such as a proxy contest in opposition to the Board.
 
In addition, all comments written on the proxy card or elsewhere will be forwarded to management, but your identity will be kept confidential unless you ask that your name be disclosed

PROPOSAL ONE:
 
ELECTION OF DIRECTORS
 
Our Board is currently comprised of six (6) members divided into two classes of directors serving staggered two-year terms.  Class I currently consists of three (3) directors: Peter T. Kikis, Martin C. Blake, Jr. and Janet L. Steinmayer.  Class II currently consists of three (3) directors: Barry I. Regenstein, James P. Heffernan and Thomas P. Kikis.
 
The Class I directors of the Company to be elected at the Annual Meeting will serve for a term of two years, expiring at the Annual Meeting of shareholders in 2013 or until their respective successors are elected and have qualified.  The Class II directors of the Company will continue in office for their existing terms, which expire at the 2012 Annual Meeting of shareholders or when their respective successors are elected and have been duly elected and qualified.
 
Unless authority to vote for directors is withheld, the Company intends that the shares represented by the enclosed proxy will be voted for the election of the nominees listed below.  In the event the nominees become unable or unwilling to accept nomination or election, the shares represented by the enclosed proxy will be voted for the election of such persons as the Board may select.  The Board has no reason to believe that the nominees will be unable or unwilling to serve.
 
Directors are elected by a plurality vote of the aggregate voting power of the shares of outstanding common stock, present in person or represented by proxy, voting together as a single class. Accordingly, the three (3) nominees for Class I director receiving the highest number of affirmative votes for such class will be elected.

PROPOSAL TWO:
RATIFICATION OF APPOINTMENT OF
INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
 
The Audit Committee has selected D'Arcangelo & Co., LLP as the independent registered public accountants to audit the books, records and accounts of the Company for the current fiscal year ending March 31, 2012, subject to ratification by the shareholders at the Annual Meeting. D'Arcangelo & Co., LLP has audited the Company's financial statements since 1996.  Although shareholder ratification is not required by our By-laws or any other applicable legal requirement, the Board is submitting the selection of D'Arcangelo & Co., LLP to the shareholders for ratification as a matter of good corporate governance.  Our Board recommends that shareholders vote for ratification of such appointment.  In the event of a negative vote on ratification, our Board may reconsider its selection.  A representative of D'Arcangelo & Co., LLP is expected to be present at our Annual Meeting; they will have the opportunity to make a statement and will be available to answer questions from shareholders.
 
The Audit Committee has responsibility for the appointment, compensation and oversight of the work of the independent registered public accountants. As part of this responsibility, the Audit Committee must pre-approve all permissible services to be performed by the independent registered public accountants.
 
Pursuant to the Audit Committee charter, the Audit Committee is required to pre-approve all auditing services and the terms thereof (which may include providing comfort letters in connection with securities underwritings) and non-audit services (other than non-audit services prohibited under Section 10A(g) of the Exchange Act, or the applicable rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) or the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board) to be provided to the Company by the independent registered public accountants; provided, however, the pre-approval requirement is waived with respect to the provision of non-audit services for the Company if the “de minimus” provisions of Section 10A(i)(1)(B) of the Exchange Act are satisfied. This authority to pre-approve non-audit services may be delegated to one or more members of the Audit Committee, who shall present all decisions to pre-approve an activity to the full Audit Committee at its first meeting following such decision.
 
During the fiscal years ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 and the interim period between April 1, 2011 and July 15, 2011, neither the Company nor anyone acting on its behalf consulted D'Arcangelo & Co., LLP with respect to the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company's financial statements, or any other matters or reportable events listed in Item 304(a)(2)(i) or (ii) of Regulation S-K.
 
Approval of Proposal Two will require the affirmative vote of a majority of the common shares present or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote.
 
The following table sets forth the aggregate fees billed by D'Arcangelo & Co., LLP for audit and non-audit services rendered to the Company in our fiscal years ended March 31, 2010 and 2011. These fees are categorized as audit fees, audit related fees, tax fees and all other fees. The nature of the services provided in each category is described following the table.

PROPOSAL THREE:
AUTHORIZATION OF THE AMENDMENT TO THE CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION TO EFFECT A REVERSE STOCK SPLIT OF THE COMPANY’S COMMON STOCK AT A RATIO OF ONE-FOR-TEN
 
General
 
We are asking our shareholders to approve an amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation in the form set forth in Annex A to this Proxy Statement (the “Amendment”) providing for a reverse stock split of the Company’s outstanding common stock (the “reverse stock split” or “reverse split”).
 
On June 9, 2011, the Board adopted resolutions declaring advisable and approving the Amendment providing for a one-for-ten reverse stock split, subject to shareholder approval, and authorizing any other action that the Board may deem necessary to implement the reverse stock split without further approval or authorization of shareholders.  Approval of Proposal Three requires the affirmative vote of the holders of shares of common stock representing a majority of the votes of all of the shares outstanding as of the record date and entitled to vote on the proposal.
 
A vote “FOR” Proposal Three will constitute your approval of the Amendment and the authorization to effect a reverse stock split at a ratio of one-for-ten.
 
Purpose of the Reverse Stock Split
 
The Board believes that the shareholders should approve the Amendment providing for the reverse stock split for the following reasons:
 
 
Increase in Stock Price.  The Board’s primary objective in proposing the reverse stock split is to raise the per share trading price of the Company’s common stock.  In particular, this will assist the Company in complying with the minimum price per share listing requirements of the NYSE Amex, thereby allowing the Company to maintain its listing on the NYSE Amex.
 
 
Increase in Eligible Investors.  The Board believes that a reverse stock split would improve the perception of the Company’s common stock as an investment and enable the Company to appeal to a broader range of investors. Therefore, the Board believes that a reverse stock split would allow investment by a broader range of institutions and other investors in the common stock, such as funds that are prohibited from buying stocks whose price is below a certain threshold, potentially increasing trading volume and liquidity.
 
 
Increased Broker Interest.  The Board believes that the intended increase in the stock price as a result of a reverse stock split would help increase broker interest in the common stock.  Because of the trading volatility often associated with lower-priced stocks, many brokerage houses and institutional investors have adopted internal policies and practices that either prohibit or discourage them from investing in such stocks or recommending them to their customers.  Some of those policies and practices may also function to make the processing of trades in lower-priced stocks economically unattractive to brokers. Additionally, because brokers’ commissions on transactions in lower-priced stocks generally represent a higher percentage of the stock price than commissions on higher-priced stocks, the current average price per share of the common stock can result in individual shareholders paying transaction costs representing a higher percentage of their total share value than would be the case if the stock price were substantially higher.
 
 
Decreased Stock Price Volatility.  The Board believes that the intended increase in the stock price as a result of a reverse stock split could decrease price volatility, as currently small changes in the price of the common stock result in relatively large percentage changes in the stock price.
 
 
Decreased Administrative Burden.  The Board believes that the reverse split will also reduce the Company’s administrative burdens and costs by cashing-out those shareholders who currently own a number of shares that is below the reverse stock split ratio since the cost of administering each shareholder’s account and the amount of time spent by management in responding to shareholder requests is the same regardless of the number of shares held in the account and, as a result, the cost of maintaining many small accounts is disproportionately high when compared with the total number of shares involved.
 
 
16

 
 
Accordingly, for these and other reasons discussed below, we believe that effecting the reverse stock split is in the Company’s and the shareholders’ best interests.
 
Certain Risks Associated with the Reverse Stock Split
 
Before voting on this Proposal Three, you should consider the following risks associated with the implementation of the reverse stock split:
 
 
The reverse stock split may not increase the price of the common stock.  Although the Board expects that a reverse stock split will result in an increase in the price of the common stock, the effect of a reverse stock split cannot be predicted with certainty. For example, based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock on July 15, 2011 of $1.74 per share, if the one-for-ten reverse stock split was implemented, there can be no assurance that the post-split trading price of the Company’s common stock would be $17.4, or even that it would remain above the pre-split trading price.  Other factors, such as the Company’s financial results, market conditions and the market perception of the Company’s business may adversely affect the stock price.  In many cases, the market price of a company’s shares declines after a reverse stock split.  As a result, there can be no assurance that the reverse stock split, if completed, will result in the intended benefits described above, that the stock price will increase following the reverse stock split or that the stock price will not decrease in the future.
 
 
The reserve stock split may not attract institutional or other investors.  Effecting the reverse stock split may not attract institutional or other potential investors, or result in a sustained market price that is high enough to overcome the investor policies and practices, and other issues relating to investing in lower priced stock described in “Purpose of the Reverse Stock Split” above.
 
 
The reverse stock split may decrease the trading market for the common stock.  Because the reverse stock split will reduce the number of shares of common stock available in the public market, the trading market for the common stock may be harmed, particularly if the stock price does not increase as a result of the reverse stock split.
 
Effect of the Reverse Stock Split
 
If approved by shareholders and implemented, as of the effective time of the Amendment, each issued and outstanding share of the Company’s common stock would immediately and automatically be reclassified and reduced into one-tenth of a share of the Company’s common stock.  As of July 15, 2011, 10,878,098 shares of common stock were issued and outstanding. Based on this number of shares issued and outstanding, the Company would have 1,087,809 shares of common stock outstanding immediately following the completion of the reverse stock split (without giving effect to the treatment of fractional shares discussed below, which will reduce slightly the number of outstanding shares).
 
Registration under the Exchange Act and NYSE Amex
 
The reverse stock split will not affect the registration of the common stock under the Exchange Act or the listing of the common stock on the NYSE Amex.  Following the reverse stock split, the common stock will continue to be listed on the NYSE Amex under the symbol “MOC”, although it will be considered a new listing with a new CUSIP number.
 
 
17

 
 
Voting and other rights
 
Proportionate voting rights and other rights of the holders of the common stock will not be affected by the reverse stock split, other than as a result of the treatment of fractional shares as described below. Except for shareholders who are cashed out as a result of holding fractional shares discussed below, the number of shareholders of record will not be affected by the reverse stock split and each shareholder will hold the same percentage of common stock immediately following the reverse stock split as such shareholder held immediately prior to the reverse stock split.
 
Effectiveness of Reverse Stock Split  
 
The reverse stock split, if approved by shareholders, would become effective upon the filing of a Certificate of Amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of New York (the “Effective Time”). It is expected that this filing will take place promptly following the Annual Meeting, assuming the shareholders approve the Amendment.  However, the exact timing of the filing of the Certificate of Amendment will be determined by the Board based on its evaluation as to when such action will be the most advantageous to the Company and its shareholders.  If the Board fails to implement the reverse stock split by next year’s Annual Meeting of shareholders, shareholder approval would be required again prior to implementing any reverse stock split. In addition, the Board reserves the right, notwithstanding shareholder approval and without further action by the shareholders, to elect not to proceed with the reverse stock split if, at any time prior to filing the Certificate of Amendment, the Board, in its sole discretion, determines that it is no longer in the Company’s best interests and the best interests of its shareholders to proceed with the reverse stock split.
 
Effect on the Company’s Stock Plans  
 
As of July 15, 2011, approximately 2,199,959 shares were issuable upon the exercise of outstanding stock options and approximately 1,093,159 additional shares were reserved and available for issuance pursuant to future awards under the Company’s 2009 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan and its 2005 Stock Incentive Plan (collectively, the “Equity and Stock Incentive Plans”).  Under the Equity and Stock Incentive Plans, if the reverse stock split is effected, the number of shares reserved and remaining available for issuance and the number, exercise price or other similar financial terms of shares subject to outstanding awards will be proportionately adjusted based on the reverse stock split ratio of one-for-ten. As a result, using the above data as of July 15, 2011, the number of shares issuable upon exercise of outstanding awards would be adjusted from 2,199,959 to 219,995 (without giving effect to the treatment of fractional shares, which will reduce slightly the number of shares so issuable) and the 1,093,159 shares that were available for future issuance under the Equity and Stock Incentive Plans would be adjusted to 109,315 shares (subject to increase as and when awards made under the Equity and Stock Incentive Plans expire or are forfeited and are returned in accordance with the terms of the Equity and Stock Incentive Plans). For individual holders, the number of shares subject to outstanding awards would be reduced by a factor of ten and, in the case of outstanding stock options, the exercise price per share would be increased by a multiple of ten, such that upon an exercise, the aggregate exercise price payable by the optionee to the Company would remain the same. For example, an outstanding stock option for 80 shares of common stock, exercisable at $1.50 per share, would be adjusted as a result of a one-for-ten reverse stock split ratio into an option exercisable for 8 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $15.00 per share.
 
Effect on Authorized but Unissued Shares of Common Stock  
 
Currently, the Company is authorized in its Certificate of Incorporation to issue up to a total of 50,000,000 shares of common stock. The total number of authorized shares of common stock will not change as a result of the reverse stock split.  As of July 15, 2011, the Company had 10,878,098 shares of common stock issued and outstanding, 2,199,959 shares reserved for issuance upon the exercise of outstanding stock options and 1,093,159 shares of common stock reserved for issuance pursuant to the Company’s Equity and Stock Incentive Plans. As described above, the reverse stock split would have the effect of reducing the number of issued and outstanding shares of common stock and the number of shares of common stock reserved for issuance pursuant to the Company’s Equity and Stock Incentive Plans. Therefore, because the total number of authorized shares of common stock will not change as a result of the reverse stock split, upon the effectiveness of the reverse stock split, the number of authorized shares of common stock that are not issued and outstanding or reserved for issuance would increase, and there would be approximately 48.6 million additional authorized but unissued shares of the Company’s common stock available for future issuance (without giving effect to the treatment of fractional shares discussed below). All authorized but unissued shares that are not reserved for issuance would remain available for issuance by the Board for general corporate purposes at any time, at its discretion, without shareholder approval. If the Board were to authorize the issuance of any such shares, such issuances could dilute the ownership interests of holders of common stock. The Board has no current plans to issue any of the additional authorized but unissued shares that would result if the reverse stock split were effected.
 
 
18

 
 
Fractional Shares 
 
Shareholders will not receive fractional shares in connection with the reverse stock split.  In lieu thereof, shareholders otherwise entitled to fractional shares will receive a cash payment determined by multiplying (i) the fractional share interest to which the shareholder would otherwise be entitled, after taking into account all shares of common stock then held by the shareholder, and (ii) the closing price of the common stock as reported on the NYSE Amex on the trading day immediately prior to the Effective Time, as adjusted for the split ratio.  Shareholders will not be entitled to receive interest for the period of time between the effective date of the reverse stock split and the date the shareholder receives his or her cash payment.  The proceeds will be subject to certain taxes as discussed below.  Shareholders who hold their shares electronically in book-entry form will receive such cash payment as soon as practicable following the Effective Time, as described in “Effect on Registered Book-Entry Holders” below. Shareholders who hold their shares in certificate form will receive such cash payment in lieu of fractional shares following the surrender of their pre-split certificates for post-split certificates, as described in “Effect on Holders of Registered Certificated Shares” below.  The Company will either deposit sufficient cash with the Company’s transfer agent or set aside sufficient cash for the purchase of the above referenced fractional interests. The ownership of a fractional share interest will not give the holder any voting, dividend or other rights, except the right to receive the above-described cash payment.  Shareholders holding fewer than ten shares of the Company’s common stock will receive only cash in lieu of fractional shares and will no longer hold any shares of common stock as of the Effective Time.
 
Effect on Par Value
 
The par value of the common stock will remain unchanged at $0.0001 per share and the stated capital of the Company will be adjusted in proportion to the reverse stock split.
 
Reduction In Stated Capital
 
As a result of the reverse stock split, at the Effective Time, the stated capital on the Company’s balance sheet attributable to the common stock, which consists of the par value per share of the common stock multiplied by the aggregate number of shares of the common stock issued and outstanding, will be reduced in proportion to the reverse stock split ratio. Correspondingly, the Company’s additional paid-in capital account, which consists of the difference between the Company’s stated capital and the aggregate amount paid to the Company upon issuance of all currently outstanding shares of the common stock, will be credited with the amount by which the stated capital is reduced. The Company’s shareholders’ equity, in the aggregate, will remain unchanged.
 
No Going Private Transaction 
 
Notwithstanding the decrease in the number of outstanding shares following the proposed reverse stock split, such transaction is not, nor is it a first step in, and nor is the Board currently contemplating, a “going private transaction” within the meaning of Rule 13e-3 of the Exchange Act.
 
No Dissenter’s Rights
 
The New York Business Corporation Law does not provide dissenters’ rights of appraisal to the shareholders in connection with the reverse stock split transaction.
 
 
19

 
 
Effect on Registered and Beneficial Holders  
 
If the reverse stock split is effected, the Company intends to treat beneficial holders (i.e., shareholders who hold their shares in “street name” through a bank, broker or other nominee) in the same manner as registered shareholders whose shares are registered in their names. Banks, brokers or other nominees will be instructed to effect the reverse stock split for their beneficial holders holding shares in “street name.” However, these banks, brokers or other nominees may have their own procedures for processing the reverse stock split. Shareholders who hold shares with a bank, broker or other nominee are encouraged to contact their bank, broker or other nominee.
 
Effect on Registered Book-Entry Holders 
 
Some of the Company’s registered shareholders may hold some or all of their shares electronically in book-entry form under the direct registration system for securities. These shareholders do not have stock certificates evidencing their ownership of the Company’s common stock.  Instead, they are provided with a statement reflecting the number of shares registered in their accounts.  If you hold shares in book-entry form, you do not need to take any action following the Effective Time in order for your shares to be adjusted to reflect the reverse stock split or to receive your cash payment in lieu of any fractional share interest, if applicable.  If you are entitled to post-split shares, a transaction statement will automatically be sent to your address of record indicating the number of shares you hold following the Effective Time. If you are entitled to a payment in lieu of any fractional share interest, a check will be mailed to you at your registered address as soon as practicable after the Effective Time. By signing and cashing this check, you will warrant that you owned the shares for which you received a cash payment.
 
Effect on Holders of Registered Certificated Shares
 
Some registered shareholders may hold their shares of common stock in certificate form or a combination of certificate and book-entry form. If any of your shares are held in certificate form, you will receive a transmittal letter from the Company’s transfer agent as soon as practicable after the effective time of the reverse stock split. The transmittal letter will contain instructions on how to surrender your certificate(s) representing your pre-split shares to the transfer agent. Upon receipt of your properly completed and executed letter of transmittal and your stock certificate(s), you will be issued the appropriate number of post-split shares. These shares will be issued electronically in book-entry form under the direct registration system. This means that, instead of receiving a new stock certificate, you will receive a direct registration statement that indicates the number of post-split shares you own in book-entry form. At any time after receipt of your direct registration statement, you may request a stock certificate representing your post-split ownership interest.  If you are entitled to a payment in lieu of any fractional share interest, payment will be made as described above under “Fractional Shares”. No service charge will be payable by shareholders in connection with the exchange of certificates or the issuance of cash for fractional interests, all of which costs will be borne and paid by the Company.
 
SHAREHOLDERS SHOULD NOT DESTROY ANY STOCK CERTIFICATE(S) AND SHOULD NOT SUBMIT ANY STOCK CERTIFICATE(S) UNTIL REQUESTED TO DO SO.
 
Certain United States Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Reverse Stock Split
 
The following is a general summary of certain U.S. federal income tax consequences of the reverse stock split that may be relevant to shareholders. This summary is based upon the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”), Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder, published administrative rulings and judicial decisions as of the date hereof, all of which may change, possibly with retroactive effect, resulting in U.S. federal income tax consequences that may differ from those discussed below. This summary only applies to shareholders that hold common stock in the Company as capital assets within the meaning of section 1221 of the Internal Revenue Code (generally, property held for investment). This discussion is a summary for general information purposes only and does not address all aspects of U.S. federal income taxation that may be relevant to shareholders in light of their particular circumstances or to shareholders that may be subject to special tax rules, including, without limitation: (i) shareholders subject to the alternative minimum tax; (ii) banks, insurance companies, or other financial institutions; (iii) tax-exempt organizations; (iv) dealers in securities or commodities; (v) regulated investment companies or real estate investment trusts; (vi) partnerships (or other flow-through entities for U.S. federal income tax purposes and their partners or members); (vii) traders in securities that elect to use a mark-to-market method of accounting for their securities holdings; (viii)  U.S. shareholders whose “functional currency” is not the U.S. dollar; (ix) persons holding the common stock as a position in a hedging transaction, “straddle,” “conversion transaction” or other risk reduction transaction; (x) persons who acquire shares of the common stock in connection with employment or other performance of services; (xi) dealers and other shareholders that do not own their shares of common stock as capital assets; or (xii) U.S. expatriates.

In addition, this summary does not address the tax consequences arising under the laws of any foreign, state or local jurisdiction or any U.S. federal tax consequences other than U.S. federal income taxation (such as the U.S. federal estate and gift tax consequences). If a partnership (including any entity or arrangement treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) holds shares of the common stock, the tax treatment of a partner in the partnership generally will depend upon the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. Partnerships holding common stock in the Company and the partners therein should consult their tax advisors regarding the tax consequences to them of the reverse stock split.
 
The Company has not sought, and will not seek, an opinion of counsel or a ruling from the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) regarding the U.S. income tax consequences of the reverse stock split discussed below and there can be no assurance that the IRS will not challenge the statements and conclusions set forth below or that a court would not sustain any such challenge. ACCORDINGLY, EACH SHAREHOLDER SHOULD CONSULT SUCH SHAREHOLDER’S TAX ADVISOR WITH RESPECT TO THE PARTICULAR TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE REVERSE STOCK SPLIT TO SUCH SHAREHOLDER.
 
For purposes of this discussion, a “U.S. Holder” is a beneficial owner of common stock in the Company that for U.S. federal income tax purposes is: (i) an individual citizen or resident of the United States; (ii) a corporation, or other entity treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, that is created or organized in or under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia; (iii) an estate, the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income taxation regardless of its source; or (iv) a trust, if a court within the United States is able to exercise primary supervision over the administration of the trust and one or more U.S. persons (as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Internal Revenue Code (a “U.S. Person”)) have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust, or the trust has a valid election in effect to be treated as a U.S. Person.  A “Non-U.S. Holder” is a beneficial owner of common stock in the Company that for U.S. federal income tax purposes is: (i) a nonresident alien individual; (ii) a foreign corporation; (iii) an estate that is not subject to U.S. federal income tax on a net income basis; or (iv) a trust if (1) no U.S. court can exercise primary supervision over the trust’s administration or no U.S. Person and no group of such persons is authorized to control all substantial decisions of the trust, and (2) the trust has no election to be treated as a U.S. Person in effect.
 
Taxation of U.S. Holders.  The reverse stock split should constitute a “recapitalization” for U.S. federal income tax purposes and as an exchange described under section 1036 of the Internal Revenue Code. As a result, a U.S. Holder generally should not recognize gain or loss upon the reverse stock split, except with respect to cash received in lieu of a fractional share of the common stock, as discussed below. A U.S. Holder’s aggregate tax basis in the shares of the common stock received pursuant to the reverse stock split should equal the aggregate tax basis of the shares of the common stock surrendered (excluding any portion of such basis that is allocated to any fractional share of the common stock), and such shareholder’s holding period (i.e., acquired date) in the shares of the common stock received should include the holding period in the shares of the common stock surrendered. Treasury regulations promulgated under the Internal Revenue Code provide detailed rules for allocating the tax basis and holding period of the shares of the common stock surrendered to the shares of the common stock received pursuant to the reverse stock split. If you acquired your shares of common stock on different dates and at different prices, you should consult your tax advisors regarding the allocation of the tax basis and holding period of such shares.
 
A U.S. Holder who receives cash in lieu of a fractional share of the common stock pursuant to the reverse stock split generally should recognize capital gain or loss, as the case may be, in an amount equal to the difference, if any, between the amount of cash received and the portion of such shareholder’s tax basis in the shares of the common stock surrendered that is allocated to such fractional share of the common stock. Such capital gain or loss should be long-term capital gain or loss if the shareholder’s holding period for the common stock surrendered exceeded one year at the Effective Time. The deductibility of capital losses may be subject to certain limitations.
 
Taxation of Non-U.S. Holders.  A Non-U.S. Holder generally should not be subject to U.S. federal income tax with respect to any gain recognized as a result of cash received in lieu of a fractional share in connection with the reverse stock split; provided, however, that gain generally would be subject to tax if (i) the gain is effectively connected with a trade or business of the Non-U.S. Holder in the United States (in which case, for a Non-U.S. Holder that is a foreign corporation, the branch profits tax may also apply), and, where a tax treaty applies, is attributable to a U.S. permanent establishment of the Non-U.S. Holder, (ii) the gain is recognized by a Non-U.S. Holder who is an individual and is present in the United States for 183 or more days in the taxable year of the reverse stock split and certain other conditions are met, or (iii) the Company is or has been a “United States real property holding corporation” for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The Company believes it currently is not and it does not anticipate becoming, a “United States real property holding corporation” for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
 
 
21

 
 
Taxation of the Company.  The Company will not recognize any gain or loss as a result of the reverse stock split.
 
Information Reporting and Backup Withholding.  Information returns generally will be required to be filed with the IRS with respect to the receipt of cash in lieu of a fractional share of the common stock pursuant to the reverse stock split. In addition, shareholders may be subject to a backup withholding tax (at the current applicable rate of 28%) on the payment of such cash if they do not provide their taxpayer identification numbers in the manner required or otherwise fail to comply with applicable backup withholding tax rules. Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules may be refunded or allowed as a credit against the shareholder’s federal income tax liability, if any, provided the required information is timely furnished to the IRS.
 
The Board unanimously recommends a vote FOR the authorization of the amendment of the Certificate of Incorporation to effect a reverse split of the common stock at an exchange ratio of one-for-ten.

BOARD MEETINGS AND COMMITTEES
 
During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2011, our Board held four meetings, and all incumbent directors attended at least 75% of the meetings of our Board and committees, if any, upon which such directors served.  Our Board has determined that each of our directors other than Barry I. Regenstein, our President and Chief Financial Officer, and Martin C. Blake, Jr., our Chief Operating Officer, qualifies as “independent” under the listing standards of The New York Stock Exchange.
 
Our Board has three committees: the Audit Committee, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and the Compensation Committee.  All Board committees are comprised solely of independent directors.
 
Audit Committee
 
The Audit Committee currently consists of James P. Heffernan (Chairman), Thomas P. Kikis, Peter T. Kikis and Janet L. Steinmayer. The Board has determined that each member is independent under listing standards of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE Amex”) and the applicable rules of the SEC, that each member is “financially literate” under the NYSE Amex listing standards and that Mr. Thomas P. Kikis qualifies as an Audit Committee Financial Expert under the applicable rules of the SEC.
 
The Audit Committee hires the Company's independent accountants and is charged with the responsibility of overseeing the financial reporting process of the Company. In the course of performing its functions, the Audit Committee reviews, with management and the independent accountants, the Company's internal accounting controls, the annual financial statements, the report and recommendations of the independent accountants, the scope of the audit and the qualifications and independence of the auditors. The report of the Audit Committee is set forth later in this Proxy Statement. The Audit Committee held four meetings during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2011. A copy of the Audit Committee charter as adopted by the Board on April 27, 2005 is available on the Company’s website at www.commandsecurity.com.
 
Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee
 
The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee currently consists of Thomas P. Kikis (Chairman), Peter T. Kikis and Janet L. Steinmayer.  The Board has determined that each member of this committee is independent under the NYSE Amex listing standards. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is responsible for identifying individuals who are qualified to become directors, recommending nominees for membership on the Board and committees of the Board, promulgating minimum qualifications that it believes must be met by director nominees, establishing policies for considering director candidates recommended by shareholders, implementing procedures for shareholders in submitting recommendations for director candidates and developing and recommending to the Board corporate governance guidelines.
 
The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee has established the following minimum qualifications for prospective nominees: (1) high accomplishments in his or her respective field, with superior credentials and recognition, (2) if applicable, a demonstrated history of actively contributing at board meetings, (3) high personal and professional integrity, exceptional ability and judgment, and effectiveness, in conjunction with the other nominees to the Board, in serving the long-term interests of the shareholders and (4) sufficient time and availability to devote to the affairs of the Company, particularly in light of the number of boards on which the nominee may serve. In addition, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee may consider a variety of other qualities and skills, including whether the nominee has direct experience in the industry or in the markets in which the Company operates and the definition of independence within the meaning of the NYSE Amex listing standards.  Nominees must also meet any applicable requirements of the SEC's regulations, state law and the Company's Certificate of Incorporation and By-laws.
 
The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee has established a process for identifying and evaluating nominees for director. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee may solicit recommendations from any or all of the following sources: non-management directors, executive officers, third-party search firms or any other source it deems appropriate. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will then, without regard to the source of the initial recommendation of such proposed director candidate, review and evaluate the qualifications of any such proposed director candidate, and conduct inquiries it deems appropriate. Upon identifying individuals qualified to become members of the Board, consistent with the minimum qualifications and other criteria approved by the Board from time to time, and provided that the Company is not legally required to provide third parties with the ability to nominate individuals for election as a member of the Board, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will then recommend that the Board select the director nominees for election at each annual meeting of shareholders.
 
 
27

 
 
The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will consider director candidates recommended by the Company's shareholders. A shareholder wishing to propose a nominee should submit a recommendation in writing to the Company's Secretary not less than 120 days nor more than 150 days in advance of the date that the Company's proxy statement was mailed to shareholders in connection with the previous year's annual meeting of shareholders; provided that if the date of this year's annual meeting of shareholders has been changed by more than 30 days from the date contemplated at the time of the previous year's proxy statement, such proposal must be received by the Company a reasonable time before the Company solicits proxies for the election of directors. Proposing shareholders are also required to provide information with regard to the nominees, including their full names and residence and business addresses; business experience for the most recent five years; including principal occupations and employment, the number of shares of the Company's stock owned by the proposed nominees and a description of legal or administrative proceedings or order or decree any nominee is or has been a party to or is or was subject to during the past five years, the name and residence and business address of the shareholder who makes the nomination, the number of shares of the Company's capital stock owned directly or indirectly by the shareholder who makes the nomination and any other information regarding each of the nominees required by Schedule 14A of the Exchange Act. A copy of the full text of the By-laws provision and the procedures established by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee may be obtained by writing to our Secretary.  All notices of proposals by shareholders, whether or not included in our proxy materials, should be sent to Command Security Corporation, P.O. Box 340, 1133 Route 55, Suite D, Lagrangeville, NY 12540, Attention: Barry I. Regenstein, President and Chief Financial Officer.
 
The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee was formed in April 2005 and held five meetings during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2011.  Prior to the creation of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, the Board performed the functions of a nominating committee.  A copy of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee charter as adopted by the Board on April 27, 2005 is available on the Company’s website at www.commandsecurity.com.
 
Compensation Committee
 
The Compensation Committee currently consists of Thomas P. Kikis (Chairman), Janet L. Steinmayer and Peter T. Kikis.  The Board has determined that each member is independent under the NYSE Amex listing standards. The Compensation Committee sets the compensation of the other senior executives of the Company, administers the stock option plans and the executive compensation programs of the Company, determines eligibility for, and awards under, such plans and programs, and makes recommendations to the Board with regard to the adoption of new employee benefit plans, stock option plans and executive compensation plans. The report of the Compensation Committee is set forth later in this proxy statement.  The Compensation Committee held two meetings during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2011.  A copy of the Compensation Committee charter as adopted by the Board on April 27, 2005 is available on the Company’s website at www.commandsecurity.com.
 
The Compensation Committee is currently composed of independent, non-employee directors.  No interlocking relationships exist among our Board, Compensation Committee or executive officers and the Board, Compensation Committee or executive officers of any other company, nor has an interlocking relationship existed in the past.
 
Code of Business Conduct and Ethics
 
The Board has adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics that applies to directors, officers, senior management and certain other employees of the Company, including its principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller or persons performing similar functions. The Company will provide a copy of its Code of Business Conduct and Ethics to any person without charge, upon request, and a copy of this code is available for viewing on our website at www.commandsecurity.com.  Requests for a copy of the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics can be made in writing to the following address: Command Security Corporation, P.O. Box 340, 1133 Route 55, Suite D, Lagrangeville, NY 12540, Attention: Barry I. Regenstein, President and Chief Financial Officer.
 
 
28

 
 
The Code of Business Conduct and Ethics includes a written policy that prohibits our directors and officers from engaging in activities that could give rise to an actual or potential conflict of interest with the Company. In keeping with the spirit of such code, and specifically the Conflict of Interest section contained in such code, it is the Company's policy not to enter into any material transaction with one of its executive officers, directors or director nominees, or shareholders known to beneficially own over 5% of a class of our common stock or their related persons, unless the transaction is approved by the Audit Committee of the Board after full disclosure.  On an annual basis, each director and executive officer is required to complete a questionnaire, which requires disclosure of any transactions that the director or executive officer, or his or her immediate family members or associates, may have with us in which the director or executive officer, or any of his or her immediate family members or associates, has a direct or indirect material interest.  The Audit Committee, which is responsible for reviewing and approving any material related party transactions, considers the responses in the questionnaires and other information regarding potential relationships between the Company and its directors and executive officers. For this purpose, the term “material” means any related party transaction that would be required to be disclosed by the Company in any of our periodic reports filed under applicable U.S. securities laws or in our proxy statement, which generally requires disclosure of related party transactions since the beginning of our last fiscal year where the amount involved exceeds $120,000.
 
Communications with Directors
 
The Board has established a process to receive communications from shareholders.  Shareholders and other interested parties may contact any member (or all members) of the Board, or the independent directors as a group, any Board committee or any Chair of any such committee by mail or electronically.  To communicate with the Board, any individual directors or any group or committee of directors, correspondence should be addressed to the Board or any such individual directors or group or committee of directors by either name or title.  All such correspondence should be sent to Command Security Corporation, P.O. Box 340, 1133 Route 55, Suite D, Lagrangeville, NY 12540, Attention:  Gary Herman, Secretary.  To communicate with any of our directors electronically, a shareholder should send an email to the Company's Secretary: gherman@gallowaycap.com.
 
All communications received as set forth in the preceding paragraph will be opened by the Corporate Secretary for the sole purpose of determining whether the contents represent a message to our directors. Any contents that are not in the nature of advertising, promotions of a product or service, patently offensive material or matters deemed inappropriate for the Board will be forwarded promptly to the addressee.  In the case of communications to the Board or any group or committee of directors, the Company's Secretary will make sufficient copies (or forward such information in the case of e-mail) of the contents to send to each director who is a member of the group or committee to which the envelope or e-mail is addressed.
 
It is the Company's policy that its directors are invited and encouraged to attend the Annual Meeting.
 
 Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance
 
Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our executive officers and directors and persons who beneficially own more than 10% of the outstanding common shares to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the SEC and to furnish copies to us.
 
Based upon a review of the reports furnished to us and representations made to us, we believe that, during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2011, all reports required by Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act to be filed by our officers and directors and 10% beneficial owners were filed on a timely basis.

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
 
This compensation discussion and analysis explains the material elements of the compensation awarded to, earned by, or paid to each of our Named Executive Officers during the last completed fiscal year.
 
Overview
 
In the current stage of the Company’s development, the objectives of its executive compensation policy have been to retain the executives who have been integral to its growth, to attract other talented and dedicated executives and to motivate each of its executives to increase overall profitability.  To achieve these goals, the Company has strived to offer each executive an overall compensation package, which is simple, but competitive and a substantial portion of which is tied to the achievement of specific performance objectives.
 
The Company’s overall strategy is to compensate its Named Executive Officers with a mix of cash compensation, in the form of base salary and bonus, and equity compensation, in the form of stock options.  The Company’s goal is to set compensation levels to attract, retain, reward and motivate executive officers and employees, align compensation with business objectives and performance and with the interests of the shareholders, position compensation to reflect the individual's performance as well as the level of responsibility, skill and strategic value of the employee, recognize the evolving organizational structure of the Company and directly motivate executives to accomplish results as well as foster a company-wide team spirit.
 
Recently, the Company had retained a compensation consultant to prepare recommendations to the Compensation Committee for the adoption in fiscal 2010 of an Executive Incentive Program covering the Company’s executive officers.  The Company’s policy for setting compensation levels has focused on compensating its Named Executive Officers at levels competitive for executives at companies of similar size and development operating in the industry.  Compensation decisions have been made by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer in consultation with the Compensation Committee and the Board, other than with respect to the Chief Executive Officer’s compensation, which has been determined by the Compensation Committee and the Board.  In addition to frequent discussions between the Chief Executive Officer and the Board, the Company also gathers market compensation data through negotiations related to newly hired executives.  The Company believes that the compensation levels for its Named Executive Officers are competitive.  The Company expects that as it continues to develop, its compensation policies will evolve to reflect that growth and to remain competitive.
 
Executive Compensation
 
The Company’s executive compensation policy includes the following elements:
 
Base Salary.  The annual base salary for Edward S. Fleury, the Company’s former Chief Executive Officer; for Barry I. Regenstein, the Company's President and Chief Financial Officer; and for Martin C. Blake, Jr., the Company's Chief Operating Officer, was reviewed and approved by the Board and were paid in accordance with employment agreements between each of such executives and the Company.  When determining their respective base salaries under their employment agreements, the Board considered, among other things, the level of responsibility, breadth of knowledge and prior experience as well as publicly available compensation information and informal survey information obtained with respect to other small-capitalization, publicly traded companies.  No specific weight is given to any of these factors in the evaluation of an executive officer's base salary.
 
Bonuses.  In fiscal 2011, the Compensation Committee did not establish bonus targets for the Named Executive Officers and no bonus payouts were made in fiscal 2011 to such executives.
 
 
35

 
 
Stock Options.  In addition to salary and bonus, the Compensation Committee, from time to time, grants options to executive officers.  The Compensation Committee views option grants as an important component of its long-term, performance-based compensation philosophy.  Since the value of an option bears a direct relationship to the Company’s stock price, the Compensation Committee believes that options motivate executive officers to manage the Company in a manner that will also benefit shareholders.  As such, the specific number of stock options granted to an executive officer is determined on an individual basis by the Compensation Committee's perception of relative contributions or anticipated contributions to overall corporate performance.  The Compensation Committee also reviews the total number of options already held by individual executive officers at the time of grant.  In fiscal 2011, the Company granted options to purchase 40,000 common shares at an exercise price of $2.40 per share to each of its Named Executive Officers in respect of their service for fiscal 2010.
 
Retirement Plan.  The Company does not provide a qualified or non-qualified pension plan for its Named Executive Officers.  All of its non-highly compensated employees, however, are eligible to participate in a defined contribution plan under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code.  The plan allows eligible employees to defer up to 15% of their compensation to the plan on a pre-tax basis, subject to the applicable dollar limit set by the Internal Revenue Service.
 
Perquisites and Other Benefits.  As a general matter, the Company limits the use of perquisites in compensating its Named Executive Officers.
 
Other Compensation.  The employment agreements entered into with the Company's Named Executive Officers will remain in their current form until such time as the Board determines, in its discretion, that revisions are appropriate.  In addition, the Company intends to continue to maintain its current benefits and perquisites for the Company's Named Executive Officers; however, the Board, in its discretion, may modify, amend or add to a Named Executive Officer’s executive benefits or perquisites if it deems it advisable.

ANNEX A
 
Certificate of Amendment

the Certificate of Incorporation
of
Command Security Corporation

(Under Section 805 of the Business Corporation Law of New York)
 
************************

It is hereby certified that:
 
1.           The name of the corporation is Command Security Corporation (the “Corporation”). The name under which the Corporation was formed is R. J. Thompson, Inc.
 
2.           The original Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation was filed by the Department of State on May 9, 1980 under the name of R.J. Thompson, Inc. (such Certificate of Incorporation, as it may have been amended prior to the date hereof, is referred to herein as the “Original Certificate”).
 
3.           Upon the filing of this Certificate of Amendment with the Department of State of the State of New York (the “Effective Time”), each ten (10) shares of the Corporation’s Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall automatically be reclassified and combined into one (1) validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable share of Common Stock, without any further action by the Corporation or the holder thereof, subject to the treatment of fractional share interests as described below (the “Reverse Stock Split”).   No fractional shares will be issued in connection with the Reverse Stock Split and in lieu of issuing fractional shares, each holder of Common Stock who would otherwise have been entitled to a fraction of a share by reason of the Reverse Stock Split will be entitled to receive a cash payment, without interest, determined by multiplying (i) the fractional share interest to which the holder would otherwise be entitled, after aggregating all shares of Common Stock then held by the holder, and (ii) the closing price of the Common Stock as reported on the NYSE Amex on the trading day immediately prior to the Effective Time, as adjusted for the split ratio.
 
Immediately prior to the Effective Time, there were [10,878,098] shares of Common Stock, par value $.0001 per share, issued and outstanding and immediately after the Effective Time there will be 1,087,809 shares of Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share, issued and outstanding, subject to the cashing out of fractional shares described above.  Immediately after the Effective Time, the total number of authorized shares of Common Stock shall remain 50,000,000, the par value of the Common Stock shall remain $0.0001 per share and the stated  capital of the Corporation shall be reduced in proportion to the Reverse Stock Split, which as of [March 31, 2011] would be reduced from [$1,087] to [$108].
 
4.           The Amendment of the Certificate of Incorporation was authorized by vote of the Board of Directors of the Corporation and approved by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of all outstanding shares entitled to vote thereon, consisting solely of Common Stock, at the 2011 annual meeting of the Corporation at which a quorum was present.
