5,164,922 In May 2006, the Company's wholly owned subsidiary,
General Sound (Texas) Company that operated in Dallas/Ft. Worth,
Texas sold its inventory, property, trade name, business and
operations and received cash proceeds from the buyer of $518,000.
These operations are shown as discontinued operations and the 2006
three and nine month periods are net of a $267,000 gain on the sale
of the assets. The prior year periods for continuing operations
have been restated to reflect this sale. The decrease in revenues
during the three and nine month periods ended June 30, 2006 was
primarily due to lower shipments of transit products which resulted
from a lower level of new orders and the timing of releases on
existing orders. During this fiscal year, the Company has
overhauled the management, structure and marketing strategies for
transit products and is continuing to actively bid on new orders
and has quotations outstanding for several large projects that
resulted directly from these initiatives. The decline in income
from continuing operations during the three and nine months ended
June 30, 2006 was primarily due to the decrease in gross profit
related to anticipated lower product revenues, which was partially
offset by higher gross profit from service revenues. This
improvement in service gross profit was attributed to higher
revenue and a staff reduction. The periods presented were further
impacted by an increase in sales and marketing expenses in an
effort to expand revenues and due to severance costs of $120,000
and $176,000, and significant recruitment costs of $24,000 and
$97,000 during the three and nine months periods of 2006,
respectively. For the three and nine month periods of fiscal 2006
the Company also recorded a loss of $18,000 and $60,000,
respectively, on its equity in the operating loss of Secure 724 LP.
Management noted that after selling the Texas operation and
radically retooling the New York operation by changing most
department managers, entirely replacing management information
systems, overhauling its methods and strategies in sales and
marketing and project management, the Company can now focus
aggressively on marketing its products and services. In addition,
the Company is considering various acquisition opportunities that
would enable it to accelerate its marketing programs. Management
further noted that it had reduced its bank debt from the proceeds
of the sale of General Sound's assets and at June 30, 2006 had only
$909,000 outstanding under its $3.0 million credit facility, had
over $5.2 million of working capital and approximately $6.4 million
of stockholders' equity (book value of $1.23 per share of common
stock). Synergx is engaged in the design, manufacture, marketing
