Sales for the first nine months of 2006 were $1,806,406, compared to 2005 nine month sales of $2,015,543. The loss for the first nine months of 2006 was $311,049 or $0.12 per Class A Share, compared to a loss of $536,542 or $0.21 per Class A share for the first nine months of 2005.

Commenting on the results, ETC President Dean Danner said, “Continued lack of meaningful spending in our market segment coupled with disruptions in our customer’s operations as a result of mergers and acquisitions is adversely affecting our ability to return to profitably. Our customers are continuing to defer equipment upgrades on their existing voice announcement systems until absolutely necessary. At the same time, a few of our customers have opted to discontinue some of their traditional public service offerings that do not generate revenue. As more of our customer’s installed equipment base is no longer manufactured and not viable to repair it will become necessary for them to upgrade to state of the art equipment. When they do upgrade, our customers are able to implement new services available on our Emcee and Z-10 product lines.”
