Electronic Tele-Communications, Inc. (ETC) today reported its third quarter 2005 results. Sales for the quarter were $618,772 compared to $937,016 for the 2004 third quarter. The net loss was $168,888 or $0.07 per Class A common share, compared to net earnings of $28,518 or $0.01 per Class A common share for the third quarter of 2004.

Sales for the first nine months of 2005 were $2,015,543, compared to 2004 nine month sales of $2,776,671. The loss for the first nine months of 2005 was $536,542 or $0.21 per Class A Share, compared to a loss of $44,379 or $0.02 per Class A share for the first nine months of 2004.

Commenting on the third quarter results, ETC President Dean Danner said, "For all of the potential with which we entered 2005, the results have been very disappointing. Capital spending in our market segment has been very low as our customers continue to delay office upgrade and replacement projects. The combinations of expenditures to compete with the cable industry and the consolidation within the industry have made the first nine months of 2005 the worst we have seen since the mid 1980’s."

"The poor sales performance of the first nine months of 2005 has impacted cash reserves, resulting in ETC borrowing against our line of credit to meet our cash flow needs," Danner said." "We are continuing to exert tight control of our overhead and capital expenditures while continuing to work with our customers on several large projects we hope to see begin late in the fourth quarter."
