Introduction

MSGI Security Solutions, Inc. ("MSGI" or the "Company"), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") its Annual Report on Form 10-K for its fiscal year June 30, 2006 (the "2006 Form 10-K"), on October 13, 2006. This initial filing did not include the report of our independent registered public accountants, as they had been unable to complete their audit. MSGI is filing this Amendment on Form 10-K/A to amend its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006 in order to 1.) include the report of our registered independent public accountants after having completed their audits as of June 30, 2006 and 2005 and for the three years ended June 30, 2006 2.) include additional disclosures in Part III of this report, as discussed below and 3) to update the financial statements for certain audit adjustments, as discussed below.

In accordance with General Instruction G to the Form 10-K, the information called for by items 10, 11, 12, 13 and 14 of Part III of Form 10-K was not included in the body of the 2006 Form 10-K as initially filed, but was incorporated by reference to the Company’s Proxy Statement which was expected to be filed with the Commission within 120 days from its fiscal year end. Because the Company has not filed its Proxy Statement within such 120 day period, this Form 10-K/A amends the 2006 Form 10-K to include such required information.

In addition, MSGI is filing this Amendment on Form 10-K/A to amend its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006 to make immaterial corrections to certain historical information provided in the original Annual Report on Form 10-K, as well as correcting various minor typographical errors in the Annual Report on Form 10-K. These typographical errors occurred during the process of preparing the document for electronic filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The corrections made have no effect to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

The completion of the audit resulted in two adjustments to our previously reported financial statements. As of June 30, 2006, the Company determined that the investment in Excelsa has a fair value of $1,650,000, resulting in an impairment charge of $2,416,192 (See Note 5 for further details). The second adjustment was an increase in the loss from operations of our former AONet International subsidiary of $330,000 (reported as loss from discontinued operations- AONet) and a corresponding decrease in the loss from disposal of discontinued operations - AONet. This second adjustment had no effect on the net results of discontinued operations or net loss.

Capital Stock and Certain Recent Financing Transactions

In May through June 2004, the Company entered into definitive agreements with certain strategic European investors for a private placement of an aggregate of 500,000 shares of common stock to be sold at a price of $4.00 per share for gross proceeds of approximately $2,000,000. The Company also agreed to issue to the investors, and third party affiliates, warrants to purchase an additional 300,000 shares of common stock at a price of $6.00 per share under a three-year term.

In November 2004 the Company entered into and closed on definitive agreements with certain strategic investors for the purchase of 9,376 shares of Series F Convertible Preferred Stock at $320.00 per share for gross proceeds of approximately $3 million. On an “as converted” basis, the Series F Convertible Preferred Stock in this transaction equates to approximately 461,538 shares of common stock. In addition, as a penalty for a late filing of the required registration statement, an additional 468 shares of Series F Convertible Preferred Stock were issued to the investors. On an “as converted” basis, these additional shares equate to approximately 23,079 shares of Common Stock at a price of $6.50 per share. In connection with the issuance of the preferred stock, warrants were issued to the investors to purchase approximately 230,770 shares of Common stock at an exercise price of $8.125 per share. Also, in connection with the issuance of the preferred stock, warrants will be issued to the placement agent to purchase approximately 27,692 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $6.50. The Company will pay an annual dividend of 6% on the Preferred Stock, payable in shares of the Company’s common stock. There are no reset provisions or anti-dilution provisions associated with this Series F Convertible Preferred Stock. As of the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006 approximately 5,813 shares of Series F Convertible Stock have been converted, at the election of the shareholders, to approximately 286,189 shares of the Company’s common stock. 4,031 shares of Series F Convertible Preferred Stock are outstanding as of June 30, 2006.

During December 2004 the Company conducted a closing on the sale to certain strategic investors for the purchase of 419,354 shares of the Company’s Common Stock at $7.75 per share generating gross proceeds of approximately $3.25 million. In connection with the offering, five-year warrants were issued to the investors to purchase 209,686 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price per share of $8.25. The investors have “piggyback” registration rights with respect to the shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of the warrants. As compensation for their services as placement agents in the offering, the placement agents received five-year warrants substantially identical to those received by the investors to purchase approximately 25,162 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price per share equal to $7.75. The placement agents also received cash compensation equal to 6% of the gross proceeds obtained through the private placement.

On February 7, 2005, the Board of Directors approved a two-for-one forward split of the common stock. Par value of the common stock remains $.01 per share. The stock split was effective March 9, 2005. All stock prices, per share and share amounts have been retroactively restated to reflect the reverse split and are reflected in this document.
 
During June 2005, the Company issued 100,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock to a certain placement agent with relation to the closing of the acquisition of the 51% ownership stake of AONet International S.r.L. The fair market value of these shares, at the time of issuance, was estimated at approximately $774,000.
 
On July 12, 2005, MSGI closed a Callable Secured Convertible Note financing of $3 million with a New York based institutional investor. The Company received $2 million in gross proceeds upon closing, and received an additional $500,000 upon filing of the registration statement relating to this financing transaction, and $500,000 upon the effectiveness of the registration statement. The Note requires repayment over a three-year term with an 8% interest per annum. Repayment shall be made in cash or in registered shares of common stock, or a combination of both, at the option of the Company, and payment commences 90 days after each closing date and is payable monthly in equal principal installments plus interest over the remaining 33 months. Pursuant to an amendment dated September 21, 2005 the Company has the option to make the monthly payments in registered shares of common stock only if the stock price exceeds $4.92 over a specified period of time. The Holder has the option to convert all or any part of the outstanding principal to common stock if the average daily price, as defined in the agreement, for the preceding five trading days is greater than the defined Initial Market Price of $6.56. The conversion price is $4.92. The agreement provides that for any monthly period in which the stock price is greater than 125% of the initial market price of $6.56, as defined in the agreement, for the month, the interest rate for that month will be 0%. The Company granted registration rights to the investors for the resale of the shares of common stock underlying the notes and certain warrants that were issued in the transaction. In January 2006, this Agreement was further amended with a Letter Agreement in conjunction with additional short-term notes the Company entered into with the same investors (see below), which allows the Company to meet its payment obligations under the terms of the Callable Secured Convertible Notes for the months of January, February and March 2006 by issuing 22,000 shares of the Company’s common stock per month, due on the last day of each month. The Letter Agreement also allows for the issuance of 9,000 shares of the Company’s common stock as a partial payment against the obligation due for the Callable Secured Convertible Notes for the month of April 2006. Also, in January 2006, the Chief Executive Officer entered into a guarantee and pledge agreement with the note holders, whereby, the common stock of MSGI (approximately 190,000 shares) owned by the Chief Executive Officer was pledged as additional collateral for the notes. As of June 30, 2006, the Company issued 75,000 shares of its common stock per the terms of the Letter Agreement. Through a combination of cash payments ($211,253) and issuance of shares of common stock, the principal balance of the $3.0 million of the notes was reduced to $2,574,597 as of June 30, 2006. On June 7, 2006 the Company entered into a waiver agreement providing for a payment of $395,450 due July 14, 2006 for debt service due from April 2006 through July 2006. Such payment was not made on July 14, 2006. In connection with the waiver agreement, the Company issued 800,000 warrants to the note holders. Such warrants were ascribed a fair value, as computed under the Black-Scholes model, of $2,224,808 which was recognized as additional interest expense during the year ended June 30, 2006. Because of the default of the terms of the notes, the amortization of all deferred financing costs, beneficial conversion costs and interest were accelerated to be recognized by June 30, 2006. As of July 14, 2006 the Company was in technical default of the payment terms of the Callable 8% Secured Convertible Notes. On December 13, 2006, the Company also entered into a letter agreement (the "Letter Agreement") with certain of the Investors to amend the notes and warrants previously issued to these Investors by the Company, and to waive certain defaults under the notes and warrants.
 
During December 2005, the Company entered into a short-term note in the amount of $250,000. This loan bears interest at a rate of 10% through June 30, 2006 and has an annual imputed interest rate of 18.25%. The entire principal and interest of $25,000 will be paid in full upon completion of a contemplated future funding event. Further, the full amount of interest will be paid to the lender regardless of any possible early payment of principal. The total interest due under this note has been fully accrued as of June 30, 2006. This amount had not been paid to date. The holder of this note has executed a subscription agreement which will allow the Company to exchange this debt for issuance of Series G Convertible Preferred Stock.

During January 2006, the Company entered into a short-term note in the amount of $300,000. This loan bore interest at a rate of 12%. The annual interest amount was due in full even if early payment of principal. The aggregate principal and interest of $336,000 was paid in full on January 24, 2006.

5

On January 19, 2006, the Company entered into four short-term notes with the same lenders that also hold the Callable Secured Convertible Notes. The short-term notes have an aggregate principal amount of $500,000. The loans bear interest at a rate of 20% through April 19, 2006 and have an annual imputed interest rate of 80%. In connection with the above mentioned letter of amendment, the aggregate principal and interest of $600,000 was due July 14, 2006. Such payment was not made. In the event of any defined event of default declared by the lenders by written notice to the Company, the notes shall become immediately due and payable and the Company shall incur a penalty of an additional 15% of the amounts due and payable under the notes. These notes have not been paid to date. On December 13, 2006, the Company also entered into a letter agreement (the "Letter Agreement") with certain of the Investors to amend the notes and warrants previously issued to these Investors by the Company, and to waive certain defaults under the notes and warrants.

During the months of February and March 2006, the Company entered into a series of promissory notes with various private lenders. The notes closed in a series of four transactions over the period of February 17, 2006 to March 23, 2006. Gross proceeds in the amount of $799,585 were obtained and the notes carry an aggregate repayment total of $975,103 (which includes imputed interest of $175,518 or 21.95%), which is due and payable upon maturity. The notes carry a maturity date of February 28, 2007. In addition, warrants for the purchase of up to 585,062 shares of the Company’s common stock were issued to the individual lenders. The Company computed the value of the warrants as $1,645,194 using the Black-Scholes methodology, which value is being amortized over the term of the note. The warrants carry an exercise price of $4.50 and a term of 5 years. The warrants may be exercised 65 days after the date of issuance. Placement fees in the amount of $73,133 were paid to vFinance Investments, Inc. as placement agent. Other closing fees and finders fees of $66,090 were also paid. In addition to the placement fees, warrants for the purchase of up to 73,134 shares of the Company’s common stock were issued to the placement agent and its designees. The agent warrants carry an exercise price of $6.50, a term of 5 years and may be exercised 65 days after the date of issuance.

During the month of June 2006, the company received funding, in the amount of $300,000 from a certain New York based homeland security firm as an advance in contemplation of a further strategic transaction between the two parties. This firm is also in the security technology business and it is thought that the combined technologies and services would yield a stronger competitive offering to potential customers. From July 1, 2006 through December 14, 2006, the Company received an additional $700,000 in such advances. Additionally, this strategic investor has also paid certain costs directly on our behalf, which will be memorialized as additional advances. The advances bear interest at a rate of 8% and interest expense amounted to $1,381 for the year ended June 30, 2006. There can be no assurances that the strategic transactions can or will be completed.

On December 13, 2006 the Company pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement between the Company and several institutional investors (the "Investors") issued $2,000,000 aggregate principal amount of callable secured convertible notes (the "Notes") and stock purchase warrants exercisable for 3,000,000 shares of common stock (the "Warrants") in a private placement for an aggregate offering price of $2,000,000. (Please see Note 20, “Subsequent Events”)
 
Liquidity
 
The Company has limited capital resources and has incurred significant historical losses and negative cash flows from operations. The Company is also in default of its debt service payments of its notes payable. The Company believes that funds on hand combined with funds that will be available from its various operations will not be adequate to finance its operations and capital expenditure requirements and enable the Company to meet its financial obligations and payments under its callable secured convertible notes and promissory notes for the next twelve months. As explained above, the Company is in the process of consummating certain strategic transactions that may provide significant capital for MSGI. The company has engaged the investment banking firm of HC Wainwright to raise additional capital for our operations. There are no assurances that these will be consummated. Certain transactions were closed in December 2006 as disclosed in the subsequent events section; however failure of our operations to generate sufficient future cash flow and failure to consummate our strategic transactions or raise additional financing could have a material adverse effect on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern and to achieve its business objectives. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability of the carrying amount of recorded assets or the amount of liabilities that might result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Industry

Overview. 
 
The primary industries in which our companies operate are homeland security and international public safety. In the United States and abroad, homeland security and public safety are not purely separate areas, but rather law enforcement, fire departments, civil defense organizations and medical response teams are a crucial segment of any crisis situation, and work together with multiple government agencies to manage and resolve emergency situations. The Company believes its products and services work throughout the chain of threat prevention, detection, dissuasion, management and resolution to expedite the collection and dissemination of data in a secure fashion to field agents and decision-makers.

Industry Growth. 

The primary industries in which our companies operate are homeland security and public safety. The market for homeland security and safety technologies has been rapidly growing since the terrorist attacks occurred in the eastern United States in September 2001.

The “critical infrastructure” of the United States that could be subject to attack or a non-terrorist crisis (fire, earthquake, flooding) is absolutely enormous. According to the Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) and the U.S. General Accounting Office (“GAO”), there are more than 120 chemical plants within the United States that could each potentially expose more than one million people if an attack on the facility caused chemicals to be released, and there are more than 66,000 chemical plants nationwide. There are more than 5,800 hospitals, 2,800 power plants, 5,000 public airports, 300 coastal and inland ports, 104 commercial nuclear power plants, 600 natural gas processing facilities, 153 oil refineries, 7,500 bulk petrochemical terminals, 80,000 dams, 3,000 government-owned facilities and sites, and 460 “key asset” skyscrapers in the country, along with more than 250,000 sites owned by firms that are considered part of the “defense industrial base”.

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (the “DHS”) has identified multiple end users of surveillance collection and data transmission technologies, including state and local governments, border and transportation security (for border entry points, transportation hubs, and shipping facilities), critical infrastructure protection, various military agencies and the U.S. Coast Guard, and the United States Secret Service.
 
All of this surveillance and interoperability improvement activity is expected to come at a significant cost. The DHS has estimated that reaching an accelerated goal of communications interoperability will require a major investment of several billion dollars over the next decade. There are several funding resources at all levels to assist in the development and acquisition of interoperable communications technologies, but the federal government is the primary source. There are multiple federal grant programs, including the Homeland Security grants, Urban Area Security Initiative, the Office for Community Oriented Policing Services (“COPS”) within the Department of Justice (“DOJ”), FEMA interoperable communications grants, Assistance to Firefighters grants, DOJ Local Law Enforcement Block Grants, and National Urban Search and Rescue Grants. The COPS program alone was authorized by Congress to administer the Interoperable Communications Technology Program beginning in 2003. More than $66 million in grants have been awarded by COPS to first responders for communications equipment, training and technical assistance. The fiscal year 2005 budget for DHS has allocated approximately $3.6 billion in grants for first-responders, $37 million in additional funds to help build out the Homeland Security Operations Center (the nerve center for homeland security information and incident management across the United States) and FEMA incident-management capabilities, and $3.6 billion to the Office for Domestic Preparedness. Approximately $474 million has been earmarked for the “Intelligence and Warning” segment of the National Strategy Mission Area for Homeland Security, which aggregates all non-military spending across the entire federal budget for that segment, $8.8 billion has been earmarked for the “Emergency Preparedness and Response” segment, and $3.4 billion has been allocated for “Defending Against Catastrophic Threats”. Roughly $16.6 billion is reserved for security, enforcement, and investigational activity by the Bureau of Customs and Border Protection, Transportation Security Administration, the Coast Guard and the Secret Service. More than $5.5 billion in federal grants for first-responders from previous fiscal years remains available for distribution. The Urban Area Security Initiative Grants, given out by DHS to large local municipalities for security equipment, training and assistance, have been proposed to rise from $727 million in fiscal year 2004 to $1.45 billion in fiscal year 2005.
 
Beyond interoperability of communications between agencies, our products also offer significant advancements for surveillance and data collection and dissemination within law enforcement and fire department agencies for civilian crimes, fires and other incidents. For law enforcement, because of the many factors that arise in situations involving police and private citizens, surveillance technology that transmits information to field officers, commanders, and to a repository has significant advantages over relying on eyewitness surveillance. We believe that recording of video and audio can be very valuable for investigations and prosecution.
 
A RAND Corporation survey of law enforcement agencies in the United States in 2000 found a significant proportion of the respondents lacked even the most basic surveillance technologies. Approximately 59% of local departments and 33% of state police departments did not use fixed-site video surveillance, while only 3% of local departments and 7% of state departments reported widespread use of this technology. Some of the larger cities, such as New York City and Baltimore, have quite comprehensive fixed video surveillance in highly trafficked public areas, such as Times Square and Central Park. Almost 70% of local departments and 27% of state police departments did not use any sort of mobile video surveillance cameras, which would be used in a stakeout, hostage or other field incident. The primary reason cited for not acquiring this equipment was cost. Law enforcement agencies are widely expected to improve the quality of their surveillance data collection and dissemination technologies over the coming years. Even before the 2001 attacks, a 1998 study by the Rocky Mountain Region of the National Law Enforcement and Corrections Technology Center estimated that the use of digital communications systems would nearly double, rising to 25% of all police departments in the country by 2007.
 
7

We also are actively marketing our surveillance and data communications products and services into various agencies and sectors of the United States military and intelligence services. In an article by Professor Peter Raven-Hansen of the George Washington Law School in the U.S. State Department’s journal U.S. Foreign Policy Agenda, the author notes that the first step in bringing terrorists to justice is surveillance of potential attackers and prime targets. The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that collection of “security intelligence” for use in a terrorism investigation is different than collection of evidence of a regular crime, partly because it is needed to prevent terrorism. Congress has enacted laws permitting independent judges to authorize surveillance for the purpose of collecting foreign intelligence in the United States on a lesser showing of probable cause than for a regular crime. The agency need only show that there is probable cause to believe that the target of the surveillance is a foreign agent or an international terrorist.

Software Development

Innalogic adopts a straightforward and collaborative approach to software product development. Based on iterative design and development principles from Extreme Programming, Agile Modeling, and Rational Unified Process, Innalogic’s methodology allows the client to guide and continually refine our understanding of their design requirements as the product development process evolves.

An Innalogic product “roadmap” is developed for the client. The roadmap is an evolutionary tool that reflects precise client requirements - as they change over time. The client can guide the direction of the product roadmap by specifying key requirements, standards, and recommendations. The system can then be strategically updated, enhanced and modified to deploy the latest advances in video and security technology as determined by the client’s evolving functional specifications.

Innalogic designs, programs, tests and installs customized software applications to ensure maximum functionality, usability and client satisfaction.

Clients receive a proprietary Software Development Kit (SDK) and application-specific APIs that allow the client’s IT leaders to introduce and design new system features and functionality as desired.

Network Design and Engineering Services

Innalogic’s wireless network development and engineering expertise is applied to deliver customized solutions for clients’ specific challenges and requirements. Working in close concert with the client’s IT leaders and network administrators, Innalogic delivers these benefits:

• Creation of customized software applications for a client’s video network - designed specifically to optimize the network’s intended functionality and design requirements. Innalogic’s network software delivers maximum reliability and ease-of-use by client personnel utilizing the system.

• Customized network applications that allow for maximum control, oversight and ongoing administration of individual users in all locations where the network is deployed.

Network “Command Center”

At the core of Innalogic’s network design and engineering services is the creation of a customized network Command Center.

9

With a focus on a network’s current functional requirements and future expansion, Innalogic develops an elegantly architected Command Center modeled after our proprietary SafetyWatch™ software program - which is now being deployed for the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. The Command Center is designed to enhance the client’s existing network infrastructure, while facilitating the introduction of new features and connectivity with other wired and wireless devices. Moreover, the Command Center is designed to offer maximum scalability.

An Innalogic network Command Center delivers these features:

• Local or remote management — The Command Center enables centralized remote monitoring and coordinated recording across multiple sites, regardless of geographical location.

• Integration with existing network infrastructure — The Command Center interoperates with other wireless or wired networked digital devices and third- party analog CCTV components, such as cameras, monitors, matrixes and multiplexors.

• Powerful recording search facilities — The Command Center is able to quickly analyze thousands of recordings using motion, time and camera search criteria - thus saving valuable incident search time.

• Review incidents while still recording — Video recordings can be viewed without interrupting current recording.

• Simple remote system installation — The Command Center allows for device configuration remotely.

• Secure control of viewer access — The Command Center supports and provides administrative controls for multiple user levels.

Additionally, Innalogic serves as a vital technology partner to the client, supporting all related technology (hardware and software) initiatives that arise during the course of a network design and engineering engagement.
 
Future Developments America, Inc.:
 
As a result of our July 1, 2005 amendment to our agreements with the founder’s of FDA, the technology and intellectual property being developed was transferred to a company (“FDL”) controlled by the founders of FDA and we, through our subsidiary FDA, are a non-exclusive licensee in the United States of certain products developed by FDL and of other products developed by outside organizations. We also are entitled to receive royalties on certain sales of products to others which are marketed by FDL. Some of FDL’s product offerings to be marketed are in the development stage at June 30, 2006, and we have not yet generated any revenue with respect to those products.
 
FDL markets a broad variety of off-the-shelf and custom surveillance equipment, including antennas, audio “bugs”, body cameras, covert and overt color and black-and-white cameras, night vision fixed surveillance cameras, power supplies, recording devices and related supplies.
 
AONet International S.r.L.: (controlled from June 1, 2005 through March 31, 2006)
 
Our intent in acquiring a majority interest in AONet was to allow the Company to increase its affairs both by deepening its relationship with historical clients and by extending its interests to encompass the opportunities inherent in cross-selling the products and services of other MSGI subsidiaries and affiliates. Created in 2004 from the acquisition of the original business assets of AONet S.p.A., a company placed in liquidation, AONet International Srl (“AONet”) is focused primarily on providing outsourcing of data services and business continuity, the management of technology assets and company networks, disaster recovery and security systems. It is located in Milan Italy.
.
Effective March 31, 2006, MSGI defaulted on its required payments to the seller of AONet’s majority interest to us. As a result, the Company forfeited its ownership interest and we are not contractually entitled to a refund of any of the purchase price paid by us.

Excelsa S.p.A. :
 
Excelsa S.p.A. (“Excelsa”) is an Italian security company operating robust video surveillance systems for the civilian and military sector.
 
Excelsa was founded in 2000 by a group of entrepreneurs and a technical staff from Italy’s Liguria region. The new born company soon became well known for the development of innovative technologies and in a short time acquired a significant share of the market.

In 2003, with the creation of the Real Time Security (RTS) Division, Excelsa became a Business Service Provider (BSP) for Telecom Italia, the leading telecommunications company in Italy. RTS provides video surveillance systems and services that enable remote, centralized monitoring of locations of interest to the user, as well as image storage in secure Internet Data Centers and alarm management.

Through the Public Security Division, Excelsa distributes products and services specifically designed for the Italian Police department, devices for recording telephone calls and for transferring data, as well as audio/video/fax interception equipment.

Excelsa safeguards its position as a high-tech company through the Core Technology Development group. The group's aim is to support the long-term aspects of existing product development and identify new product areas for the future. It also nurtures the technical expertise for emerging technologies and applications.

Excelsa’s mission is to provide security, prevention and control in public and private areas through the development of advanced video surveillance systems and the identification of new solutions and services.

Excelsa’s Real Time Security platform achieved success in this rejuvenated sector by offering solutions that are unique for the high level of technology applied, as well as for their reliability and flexibility and their ability to be easily configured to meet specific needs.

Excelsa’s video solutions can be implemented by integrating existing analog video systems with the new network video system, allowing access to all of the functionality and benefits offered by digital technology.

Excelsa Audio Logger 2.5 is a system designed to provide a full featured and easy to use tool for intelligence over telephony communications.

MSGI currently holds a 19.5% interest in Excelsa on a fully diluted basis. Our investment in Excelsa was made in late 2004 and early 2005 and aggregated approximately $4.2 million.

As of June 30, 2006, as we were given an indication that sales of Excelsa had declined, we evaluated the possibility of impairment to our investment in Excelsa. We determined that the investment in Excelsa currently has a fair value of $1,650,000. We followed the principles contained in SFAS No. 157 “Fair Value Measurements,” which was issued in September 2006, to determine its fair value estimate. The Company did not have a “market approach” based valuation or “income approach” based valuation to make its determination. Therefore the Company utilized a weighted average of two “cost approach” metrics (Level 3 Hierarchy as defined in SFAS No. 157) as follows: 1.) a multiple of annualized historical revenues recognized by Excelsa (carrying a 2/3 portion of the weighted calculation) and 2.) the most recently reported book value of Excelsa (carrying a 1/3 portion of the weighted calculation). The Company believes this valuation is most representative of fair value within the range of values produced by these two metrics. If we used a multiple of annualized historical revenues that was 1 times more or less than the factor used in the calculated fair value, fair value would have been greater or lesser by approximately $540,000. In the prior year, the Company believed that the fair value of the investment approximated its cost basis of $4.2 million, since the investment was less than six months old at that time and the Company had no indicators to imply that there was a diminution of value. The resulting impairment expense of $2,416,192 has been recognized as a loss on the investment in Excelsa as of June 30, 2006.

Relationship with Hyundai Syscomm Corp. :
 
On October 25, 2006 the Company entered into a Sub -Contracting Agreement with Hyundai Syscomm Corp. The Sub-Contracting Agreement allows for MSGI and its affiliates to participate in contracts that Hyundai and/or its affiliates now have or may obtain hereafter, where the Company’s products and/or services for encrypted wired or wireless surveillance systems or perimeter security would enhance the value of the contract(s) to Hyundai or its affiliates. The initial term of the Sub-Contracting Agreement is three years, with subsequent automatic one year renewals unless the Sub-Contracting Agreement is terminated by either party under the terms allowed by the Agreement. Further, under the terms of the Sub-Contracting Agreement, the Company will provide certain limited product and software warranties to Hyundai for a period of 12 months after the assembly of the Company’s products and product components by Hyundai or its affiliates with regard to the product and for a period of 12 months after the date of installation of the software by Hyundai or its affiliate with regard to the software. The Company will also provide training, where required, for assembly, maintenance and usage of the equipment and shall charge it’s most favored price for such training services. No title or other ownership of rights in the Company’s Firmware or any copy thereof shall pass to Hyundai or its affiliates under this Agreement. Hyundai and its affiliates agree that it shall not alter and notices on, prepare derivative works based on, or reproduce, disassemble or decompile any Software embodied in the Firmware recorded in the Company’s products.

Client Base

The Company’s potential clients include private and public-sector organizations focused on homeland security, law enforcement, and military and intelligence operations that support anti-terrorism and national security interests, both in the United States and in Europe. The firm’s clients will come from a broad range of sectors and industries, and include law enforcement agencies, federal/state/regional agencies and institutions, judicial organizations, oil/gas businesses, commercial properties, banking and financial institutions, hotels, casinos, retail, warehousing and transportation entities, recreational facilities and parks, environmental agencies, industrial firms, loss prevention/investigation agencies, disaster site surveillance firms, bodyguard services, property management, building contractors and construction companies. To date we have provided our technology to various private and public sector organizations, both domestically and abroad. In come cases we have generated revenues from such deployments, and others were trial-basis demonstrations. Our ability to deliver our technology to customers is hindered by our liquidity and resource issues.
 
Competition

There are several companies now deploying wireless video technologies and covert surveillance tools. Only a handful, however, are doing so with wireless product offerings aimed exclusively at the homeland security and public safety markets. Indeed, it is difficult to identify direct competitors of the Company in terms of the Company’s core competencies and basic market positioning. The competitors that come closest to mirroring the Company’s business model are Gans & Pugh Associates, Inc., a developer of wireless systems that employ traditional radio frequency technologies; Verint Systems, Inc., a provider of analytic software-based solutions for video security which competes against the Company in one of its service areas - assessing network-based security relative to Internet and data transmissions from multiple communications networks; and Vistascape, a provider of a security data management solution that integrates the monitoring and management of security hardware and software products. The Company believes its combination of product development, proprietary Open Media Delivery Platform rich-media delivery system, R&D service capabilities, advanced encryption technologies, and focus on the homeland security and public safety markets are significant competitive advantages over these listed companies.

Facilities

The Company leases all of its real property. Facilities for its headquarters and for Innalogic LLC are in New York City. The Company believes that its remaining facilities are in good condition and are adequate for its current needs, however, to the extent that customer orders become more routine, we may need to seek additional facilities and resources. The Company has not renewed the lease for its headquarters which terminated in June 2006, on a long term basis, but instead currently leases the space on a month to month basis. The Company intends to relocate its headquarters to smaller facility under a new lease arrangement in December 2006. The Company believes such space is readily available at commercially reasonable rates and terms. The Company also believes that its technological resources are all adequate for its needs through fiscal 2007. At this time, the Company does not require any manufacturing facilities for its operations.

12


Intellectual Property Rights

The Company relies upon its trade secret protection program and non-disclosure safeguards to protect its proprietary computer technologies, software applications and systems know-how. In the ordinary course of business, the Company enters into license agreements and contracts which specify terms and conditions prohibiting unauthorized reproduction or usage of the Company’s proprietary technologies and software applications. In addition, the Company generally enters into confidentiality agreements with its employees, clients, potential clients and suppliers with access to sensitive information and limits the access to and distribution of its software documentation and other proprietary information. No assurance can be given that steps taken by the Company will be adequate to deter misuse or misappropriation of its proprietary rights or trade secret know-how. The Company believes that there is rapid technological change in its business and, as a result, legal protections generally afforded through patent protection for its products are less significant than the knowledge, experience and know-how of its employees, the frequency of product enhancements and the timeliness and quality of customer support in the usage of such products.
 
Employees

At June 30, 2006, the Company and its majority owned subsidiaries employed approximately 13 persons, of whom 8 were employed on a full-time basis. Of these personnel, 3 were located in Italy. Of these personnel, 5 were employed on a consulting basis, including the 3 persons in Italy. We intend to hire additional personnel as the development of our business makes such action appropriate. Our employees are not represented by a labor union or other collectively bargained agreement.

Item 1A. Risk Factors
 
We cannot be certain of the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
 
The Company has limited capital resources and has incurred significant historical losses and negative cash flows from operations. The Company believes that funds on hand and funds available from its remaining operations are not adequate to finance its operations and capital expenditure requirements for the next twelve months. The Company has recently engaged an investment banker to assist in the private placement sale of shares of Common Stock and preferred stock, debt, or other combinations thereof. The company has expended a considerable portion of the capital raised in the investments in Excelsa and, most recently, in the acquisition of and subsequent loss of controlling interest in AONet International Srl. The Company has also acquired holdings in two operating entities, FDA and Innalogic, both of which have not yet generated significant revenues. In addition, the Company has instituted cost reduction measures, including the reduction of workforce and corporate overhead. Failure of the operations or failure to raise additional financing to generate such sufficient future cash flow will have a material adverse effect on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern and to achieve its business objectives.
 
There is a risk of dilution from the exercise of existing options and warrants, or the conversion of outstanding notes, which may lead to potential difficulty in obtaining additional equity capital.
 
Our common stock may become diluted if warrants and options to purchase our common stock are exercised, or outstanding convertible notes are converted into common stock or additional licensing transactions are entered into with Hyundai. These shares, as well as the eligibility for additional restricted shares to be sold in the future, either pursuant to future registrations under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or an exemption such as Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, may have a dilutive effect on the market for the price of our common stock. The terms upon which we will be able to obtain additional equity capital could also be adversely affected.
 
13

We compete against entities that have significantly greater name recognition and resources than we do, that may be able to respond to changes in customer requirements more quickly than we can and that are able to allocate greater resources to the marketing of their products.
 
The security industry is highly competitive and has become more so over the last several years as security issues and concerns have become a primary consideration at both government and private facilities worldwide. Competition is intense among a wide ranging and fragmented group of product and service providers, including security equipment manufacturers, providers of integrated security systems, systems integrators, consulting firms and engineering and design firms and others that provide individual elements of a system, some of which are larger than us and possess significantly greater name recognition, assets, personnel, sales and financial resources. These entities may be able to respond more quickly to changing market conditions by developing new products that meet customer requirements or are otherwise superior to our products and may be able to more effectively market their products than we can because of the financial and personnel resources they possess. We cannot assure investors that we will be able to distinguish our Company in a competitive market. To the extent that we are unable to successfully compete against existing and future competitors, our business, operating results and financial condition would be materially and adversely affected.
 
We are dependent on third party suppliers for principal components used in our products, and disruptions in supply or significant increases in component costs could materially harm our business.
 
We rely on third parties to supply several key components utilized in the manufacture and implementation of our products and services. Our reliance on suppliers involves certain risks, including a potential inability to obtain an adequate supply of required components, price increases, timely delivery and component quality. Although to date, we have not experienced any disruption in supplies of components, we cannot assure you that there will not be a disruption of our supplies in the future. Disruption or termination of the supply of these components could delay shipments of products and could have a material adverse affect on our business, operating results and financial condition.
 
Our industry is characterized by rapid technological change, evolving industry standards and continuous improvements in products and required customer specifications. Due to the constant changes in our markets, our future success depends on our ability to improve our manufacturing processes, improve existing products and develop new products.
 
The commercialization of new products involves substantial expenditures in research and development, production and marketing. We may be unable to successfully design or manufacture these new products and may have difficulty penetrating new markets. Because it is generally not possible to predict the amount of time required and the costs involved in achieving certain research, development and engineering objectives, actual development costs may exceed budgeted amounts and estimated product development schedules may be extended. Our business may be materially and adversely affected if:
 
·  
we are unable to improve our existing products on a timely basis;
 
·  
our new products are not introduced on a timely basis;
 
·  
we incur budget overruns or delays in our research and development efforts; or
 
·  
our new products experience reliability or quality problems.
 
All of our orders and contracts may be cancelled so there is a risk that our backlog may not be fulfilled.
 
All of our orders and contracts are subject to cancellation by our customers at any time so we cannot be certain that our backlog will be fulfilled. Government contracts are often awarded prior to legislative approval of the funding to support those contracts. Consequently, the entire amount of orders and contracts may never be funded.
 
Our services and reputation may be adversely affected by product defects or inadequate performance.
 
Management believes that we offer state-of-the art products that are reliable and competitively priced. In the event that our products do not perform to specifications or are defective in any way, our reputation may be materially adversely affected and we may suffer a loss of business and a corresponding loss in revenues. Our sever liquidity concerns have caused us to not be able to fulfill existing orders, which could result in a loss of business and our reputation may be adversely affected.
 
14

If we are unable to retain key executives or hire new qualified personnel, our business will be adversely affected.
 
We rely on our officers and key employees and their expertise. The current liquidity difficulties experienced by the Company have necessitated that many key employees temporarily defer their compensation. The loss of the services of any of these individuals may materially and adversely affect our ability to pursue our current business strategy.
 
Our relationships with Excelsa may not develop as we have expected, which may cause the Company to lose all or a portion of our investment.
 
Our investments in Excelsa may be jeopardized if we have difficulty in assimilating the personnel, operations, technology and software of Excelsa with our current subsidiaries. We may learn that the Excelsa business does not complement our current operations. In addition, the key personnel of Excelsa may decide to leave their respective companies. If we make other types of acquisitions, we could have difficulty in integrating the acquired products, services or technologies into our operations. These difficulties could disrupt our ongoing business, distract our management and employees and increase our expenses.
 
Our investment in an international operation subjects us to risks inherent in doing business on an international level that could harm our operating results.
 
Currently, we operate in the U.S. and recently began negotiations for potential business relationships with certain international concerns. Because of our limited experience with international operations, we are subject to additional risks related to our international expansion strategy, including risks related to complying with a wide variety of national and local laws, restrictions on the import and export of certain technologies and multiple and possibly overlapping tax structures. In addition, we may face competition in other countries from companies that may have more experience with operations in such countries or with international operations generally. Our international expansion plans may not be successful and we may not be able to compete effectively in other countries.
 
We may face risks associated with potential acquisitions, investments, strategic partnerships or other ventures, including whether such transactions can be located, completed and the other party integrated with our business on favorable terms.
 
Although the Company continues to devote significant efforts to improving its current operations and profitability, the success of the Company's business strategy may depend upon the acquisition of complimentary businesses. We are in the process of formalizing a strategic relationship with a certain New York based homeland security firm. No assurances can be made that the Company will be successful in identifying and acquiring such businesses, or that any such acquisitions or strategic relationships, if consummated, will result in operating profits. In addition, any additional equity financing required in connection with such acquisitions may be dilutive to stockholders, and debt financing may impose substantial additional restrictions on the Company's ability to operate and raise capital. In addition, the negotiation of potential acquisitions may require management to divert its time and resources away from the Company's operations.
 
The Company periodically evaluates potential acquisition opportunities, particularly those that could be material in size and scope. Acquisitions involve a number of special risks, including:
 
·  
the focus of management's attention on the assimilation of the acquired companies and their employees and on the management of expanding operations;
 
·  
the incorporation of acquired businesses into the Company's service line and methodologies;
 
·  
the increasing demands on the Company's operational systems;
 
·  
adverse effects on the Company's reported operating results;
 
·  
the amortization of acquired intangible assets;
 
·  
the loss of key employees and the difficulty of presenting a unified corporate image; and
 
·  
financing the cost to acquire and ongoing operational needs.
 
15

 
Exchange Rate Fluctuations
 
We may operate in international markets, with customers, manufactures and supplies in the U.S. and abroad. Most of our pricing is in dollars, but some costs may be based on materials or labor cost priced in other currencies. As a result, fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates may adversely affect our expenses and results of operations. Fluctuations may adversely affect the comparability of period-to-period results. Although we may use hedging techniques in the future (which we currently do not use), we may not be able to eliminate the effects of currency fluctuations. Thus, exchange rate fluctuations could have a material adverse impact on our operating results and stock price. In addition, future currency losses may be incurred if we or our outsourcing partners become subject to exchange control regulations restricting the ability to convert local currencies into United States dollars or other currencies.
 
We may have problems raising money we need in the future.
 
We will require additional capital, especially in light of our most recent acquisitions and disposals. We may, from time to time, seek additional funding through public or private financing, including debt or equity financing. We cannot assure you that adequate funding will be available as needed or, if it is available, that it will be on acceptable terms. If additional financing is required, the terms of the financing may be adverse to the interests of existing stockholders, including the possibility of substantially diluting their ownership position.
 
We need to be able to acquire and integrate companies and new product lines successfully to implement our growth strategy.
 
Our growth strategy includes completing acquisitions that expand and complement our business. If we are unable to make these acquisitions, we may not be able to meet or exceed our historical levels of revenue growth and earnings. As a result, our stock price may be adversely affected.
 
We may be unable to make acquisitions due to, among other reasons, these factors:
 
·  
the companies we seek to acquire or invest in may demonstrate valuations that we deem excessive;
 
·  
we may not be able to identify suitable companies to buy because many of the companies in the businesses we are evaluating are relatively small when compared to us; and
 
·  
we may not be able to raise funds in the future to finance future acquisitions.
 
Future acquisitions only will succeed if we can effectively assess characteristics of potential target companies or product lines, such as:
 
·  
financial condition and results of operations;
 
·  
attractiveness of products;
 
·  
suitability of distribution channels; and
 
·  
management ability.
 
We cannot assure you that we can identify attractive acquisition candidates or negotiate acceptable acquisition terms, and our failure to do so may adversely affect our results of operations and our ability to grow.
 
Completed acquisitions may give rise to a number of additional difficulties, including:
 
·  
difficulty integrating acquired technologies, operations and personnel with the existing business;
 
·  
diversion of management attention in connection with both negotiating the acquisitions and integrating the assets;
 
16

 
·  
strain on managerial and operational resources as management tries to oversee larger operations;
 
·  
potential issuance of securities in connection with the acquisition, which issuance lessens or dilutes the rights and values of currently outstanding securities;
 
·  
incurrence of additional debt;
 
·  
the write-off of in-process research and development of and other development costs;
 
·  
the amortization of goodwill and other intangible assets;
 
·  
loss of key personnel from acquired companies;
 
·  
failure of an acquired business to achieve targeted financial results; and
 
·  
unanticipated problems and liabilities of acquired companies.
 
We may not be able to successfully address these problems. Our future operating results will depend to a significant degree on our ability to successfully manage growth and integrate acquisitions.
 
We cannot assure you that we will be successful in developing the Company through future acquisitions.
 
Our ability to enact our growth strategy includes completing future financing or funding events. If we are unable to successfully complete such future financing or funding events, we may be unable to complete future acquisitions.
 
The requirements of being a public company may strain our resources and distract management.
 
As a public company, we are subject to the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. These requirements may place a strain on our systems and resources. The Securities Exchange Act requires, among other things, that we file annual, quarterly and current reports with respect to our business and financial condition. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires, among other things, that we maintain effective disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls for financial reporting. These requirements necessitate that the Company have adequate accounting and internal audit staffing in order to ensure that compliance is achieved and maintained. The Company is required to be in compliance by the period ended June 30, 2008. The Company does not currently have any dedicated internal audit staff; however we have several identified material weaknesses. In order to maintain and improve the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting, significant resources and management oversight will be required. As a result, management’s attention may be diverted from other business concerns, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. In addition, as we will need to hire additional accounting and financial staff with appropriate public company experience and technical accounting knowledge, or engage appropriate consulting services in order to reach and maintain compliance, we cannot assure you that we will be able to do so in a timely fashion.
 
We may not have an adequate number of Common or Preferred Shares authorized to enable us to complete transactions which may adversely affect our ability to grow and develop the Company.
 
We may experience difficulties in securing shareholder approval for an increase in the number of authorized shares of either or both our Common Stock and Preferred Stock. This may affect our ability to be able to consummate future growth strategy acquisitions and business relationships. We currently have obligations pursuant to a private placement transaction which closed in December 2006, to obtain shareholder approval so that the convertible notes may be converted into Common Stock and that the warrants issued may be exercised for Common Stock, as we currently do not have sufficient Common Stock authorized. If shareholder approval is not obtained by the Company for such additional shares of Common Stock, the Company will not be able to meet its obligations under the terms of the convertible notes and warrants.
 
17

 
We may experience variations from quarter to quarter in operating results and net income, which could adversely affect the price of our common stock.
 
We expect to experience significant fluctuations in future quarterly operating results. Quarterly fluctuations could adversely affect the market price of our common stock. Many factors, some of which are beyond our control, may cause future quarterly fluctuations, including:
 
·  
new customer contracts which may require us to incur costs in periods prior to recognizing revenue under those contracts;
 
·  
the effect of the change of business mix on profit margins;
 
·  
the timing of additional selling, general and administrative expenses to support new business;
 
·  
the costs and timing of the completion and integration of acquisitions, sales of assets and investments;
 
·  
the timing of sales of assets;
 
·  
the cyclical elements of our clients' industries;
 
·  
the demand for our products and services;
 
·  
the market acceptance of new products and services;
 
·  
specific economic conditions in the electronic surveillance industry; and
 
·  
general economic conditions.
 
The anticipated quarterly fluctuations make predictions concerning our future revenues difficult. We believe that period-to-period comparisons of our results of operations will not necessarily be meaningful and should not be relied upon as indicative of our future performance for any subsequent fiscal quarter or for a full fiscal year. Our historical operating results have not met expectations in some periods. It also is possible that in some future quarters our operating results will be below the expectations of securities analysts and investors. In such circumstances, the price of our common stock may decline.
 
Because our sales tend to be concentrated among a small number of customers, our operating results may be subject to substantial fluctuations. Accordingly, our revenues and operating results for any particular quarter may not be indicative of our performance in future quarters, making it difficult for investors to evaluate our future prospects based on the results of any one quarter.
 
Given the nature of our customers and products, we receive relatively large orders for products from a relatively small number of customers. Consequently, a single order from one customer may represent a substantial portion of our sales in any one period and significant orders by any customer during one period may not be followed by further orders from the same customer in subsequent periods. Our sales and operating results are subject to very substantial periodic variations. Since quarterly performance is likely to vary significantly, our results of operations for any quarter are not necessarily indicative of the results that we might achieve for any subsequent period. Accordingly, quarter-to-quarter comparisons of our operating results may not be meaningful.
 
The price of our stock has been volatile.
 
The market price of our common stock has been, and is likely to continue to be, volatile, experiencing wide fluctuations. Such fluctuations may be triggered by:
 
·  
differences between our actual or forecasted operating results and the expectations of securities analysts and investors;
 
·  
announcements regarding our products, services or technologies;
 
·  
announcements regarding the products, services or technologies of our competitors;
 
18

 
·  
developments relating to our patents or proprietary rights;
 
·  
specific conditions affecting the electronic surveillance industry;
 
·  
sales of our common stock into the public market;
 
·  
general market conditions; and
 
·  
other factors.
 
In recent years the stock market has experienced significant price and volume fluctuations which have particularly impacted the market prices of equity securities of many companies providing Internet-related products and services. Some of these fluctuations appear unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of such companies. Future market movements may adversely affect the market price of our stock.
 
We may be unable to protect our intellectual property rights and we may be liable for infringing the intellectual property rights of others.
 
Our success depends in part on our intellectual property rights and our ability to protect such rights under applicable patent, trademark, copyright and trade secret laws. We seek to protect the intellectual property rights underlying our products and services by filing applications and registrations, as appropriate, and through our agreements with our employees, suppliers, customers and partners. However, the measures we have adopted to protect our intellectual property rights may not prevent infringement or misappropriation of our technology or trade secrets. A further risk is introduced by the fact that many legal standards relating to the validity, enforceability and scope of protection of certain proprietary rights in the context of the Internet industry currently are not resolved.
 
We license certain components of our products and services from third parties. Our failure to maintain such licenses, or to find replacement products or services in a timely and cost effective manner, may damage our business and results of operations. Although we believe our products and information systems do not infringe upon the proprietary rights of others, there can be no assurance that third parties will not assert infringement claims against us. From time to time we have been, and we expect to continue to be, subject to claims in the ordinary course of our business, including claims of our alleged infringement of the intellectual property rights of third parties. Any such claims could damage our business and results of operations by:
 
·  
subjecting us to significant liability for damages;
 
·  
resulting in invalidation of our proprietary rights;
 
·  
being time-consuming and expensive to defend even if such claims are not meritorious; and
 
·  
resulting in the diversion of management time and attention.
 
Even if we prevail with respect to the claims, litigation could be time-consuming and expensive to defend, and could result in the diversion of our time and attention. Any claims from third parties also may result in limitations on our ability to use the intellectual property subject to these claims unless we are able to enter into agreements with the third parties making such claims.
 
We may not be able to regain our listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market.

 On July 11, 2006, the Company received a determination from the Listing Qualifications Staff of The Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc. indicating that, based upon the Company’s non-compliance with Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(2)(B), which requires the Company to evidence a minimum of $2,500,000 in stockholders' equity, $35,000,000 in market value of listed securities, or $500,000 in net income from continuing operations for the most recently completed fiscal year or two of the three most recently completed fiscal years, the Company's securities are subject to delisting from The Nasdaq Stock Market.

As announced on May 26, 2006, the Company timely submitted its plan to evidence compliance with the $2.5 million shareholders' equity requirement to the Listing Qualifications Staff on June 7, 2006. However, by letter dated July 11, 2006, the Nasdaq Staff indicated that it had denied the Company’s request for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market. As a result, the Company held a hearing before the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Panel, which effectively stayed the Nasdaq Staff’s determination to delist the Company’s securities pending issuance of a formal determination by the Panel regarding the Company’ request for continued listing.

19

On October 20, 2006 the Company received a determination notice from Nasdaq to immediately delist the Company's shares from the Nasdaq Capital Market. The Company trading symbol has been changed to MSGI.PK and is now trading over the pink sheets. MSGI intends to regain compliance with the minimum stockholders equity requirement and has filed an appeal under Nasdaq Marketplace regulations. The Company is expecting to regain stockholders equity compliance through a two-step process, as follows: a) MSGI has negotiating a preferred equity instrument with creditors to reduce liabilities by approximately $3.5 million, thereby creating neutral stockholders equity; and b) MSGI is also negotiating an asset purchase transaction through a possible preferred equity instrument with a strategic business partner, which is expected to enable the Company to meet the $2.5 million stockholders equity requirement. While the company is current engaged in efforts to regain its’ listing qualification on the Nasdaq, there are no guarantees that we will be successful in such efforts.
 
Our ability to use our net operating losses may be limited in future periods, which would increase our tax liability.

Under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, utilization of prior net operating losses is limited after an ownership change, as defined in Section 382, to an annual amount equal to the value of the Company’s outstanding stock immediately before the date of the ownership change multiplied by the long-term tax exempt rate. In the event that a change of control were to happen and in the event we achieve profitable operations, any significant limitation on the utilization of net operating losses would have the effect of increasing our tax liability and reducing after tax net income and available cash reserves.
 
We do not intend to pay cash dividends on our Preferred or Common Stock.
 
We do not intend to pay any cash dividends on our preferred or common stock for the foreseeable future. In addition, we cannot assure you that our operations will generate sufficient revenues to enable us to declare or pay cash dividends. We have not paid cash dividends on any of our capital stock in at least the last six years. The Preferred Series F Stock had a stated dividend rate, which, since dividends have not been declared and paid, increases the liquidation preference of such shares. The Preferred Series G Stock has a stated dividend rate, which, since dividends have not been declared and paid, increases the liquidation preference of such shares. It is anticipated that future earnings, if any, will be used to finance our future growth.
 
Our ability to issue "blank check" preferred stock and certain other provisions of our certificate of incorporation could prevent or delay takeovers.
 
Our restated certificate of incorporation authorizes the issuance of "blank check" preferred stock (that is, preferred stock which our board of directors can create and issue without prior stockholder approval) with rights senior to those of our common stock. Furthermore, we have a staggered board of directors. These provisions, together with certain provisions of Nevada law limiting the voting rights of an acquirer of a controlling interest in a Nevada corporation (such as ourselves), as well as restrictions on certain business combinations (including certain mergers and exchanges), could delay or impede a merger, tender offer or other transaction resulting in a change in control, even if such a transaction would have significant benefits to our stockholders. As a result, these provisions could limit the price that certain investors might be willing to pay in the future for shares of our common stock.
 
Management has discretion over the use of proceeds.
 
Management has broad discretion over the use of proceeds from the exercise of options and warrants. We may use the proceeds in ways that do not improve our operating results or the market value of our securities. We have significant flexibility as to the timing and the use of the proceeds. You will rely on our judgment with only limited information about our specific intentions regarding the use of proceeds. We may spend most of the net proceeds received from the exercise of warrants in ways with which you may not agree. If we fail to apply these funds effectively, our business, results of operations and financial condition may be materially and adversely affected.

The trading price of our common stock has experienced fluctuation in the past and may continue to do so in the future.
 
The stock market in recent years has experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that have affected market prices for the stock of technology companies. These fluctuations have often been unrelated to or disproportionately affected by the operating performance of these companies. The market price of our common stock could fluctuate significantly after this registration in response to a variety of factors, some of which may be beyond our control. These factors may include one or more of the following:
 
·  
quarterly operating results falling below or exceeding analysts' or investors' expectations in any given period;
 
·  
changes in financial estimates or investment recommendations by securities analysts following our business;
 
·  
changes in market valuations of, or earnings and other announcements by, our competitors;
 
·  
announcements by our competitors of new technological innovations, service offerings, contracts, acquisitions or strategic relationships;
 
·  
departures of key personnel; and
 
·  
changes in business or regulatory conditions.
 
In the past, following periods of market volatility, stockholders have instituted securities class action litigation. If we were to be involved in securities litigation, we could incur a substantial cost and experience diversion of resources and the attention of management away from our business. We cannot predict the future performance of the capital markets in general and the technology stocks in particular, and we cannot assure you that the price for our common stock will not drop significantly subsequent to this offering, whether related to our business or to the capital markets generally.
 
Our investment in AONet International S.r.L. was forfeited.
 
 We have spent a significant amount of money and management effort in acquiring and owning 51% of AONet. Effective March 31, 2006, MSGI defaulted on its required payments to the seller of AONet’s majority interest to us. As a result, the Company forfeited its ownership interest and we are not contractually entitled to a refund of any of the purchase price paid by us. As a result, we have impaired all of our assets related to these investments and have reclassified the results of AONet as a discontinued operation.
 
Our investment in Excelsa has been impaired.
 
As of June 30, 2006, as we were given an indication that sales of Excelsa had declined, we evaluated the possibility of impairment to our investment in Excelsa. We determined that the investment in Excelsa currently has a fair value of $1,650,000. We followed the principles contained in SFAS No. 157 “Fair Value Measurements,” which was issued in September 2006, to determine its fair value estimate. The Company did not have a “market approach” based valuation or “income approach” based valuation to make its determination. Therefore the Company utilized a weighted average of two “cost approach” metrics (Level 3 Hierarchy as defined in SFAS No. 157) as follows: 1.) a multiple of annualized historical revenues recognized by Excelsa (carrying a 2/3 portion of the weighted calculation) and 2.) the most recently reported book value of Excelsa (carrying a 1/3 portion of the weighted calculation). The Company believes this valuation is most representative of fair value within the range of values produced by these two metrics. If we used a multiple of annualized historical revenues that was 1 times more or less than the factor used in the calculated fair value, fair value would have been greater or lesser by approximately $540,000. In the prior year, the Company believed that the fair value of the investment approximated its cost basis of $4.2 million, since the investment was less than six months old at that time and the Company had no indicators to imply that there was a diminution of value. The resulting impairment expense of $2,416,192 has been recognized as a loss on the investment in Excelsa as of June 30, 2006. If the results of Excelsa do not improve in the future, we may be required to further impair our investment.

Item 2. Properties

The company is headquartered in New York City where it maintains approximately 4,200 feet of office space in two locations. We lease approximately 1,500 square feet which is equipped to fully meet the needs of our corporate finance office. The currently lease runs through December 2007 with a monthly rent of $7,750. Our majority owned subsidiary, Innalogic LLC. currently leases approximately 2,700 square feet of office space in New York, NY. The current lease runs through October 2005 with a monthly rent of $5,400. Innalogic LLC has executed a new lease for the property which will run through March 2007 with a monthly rent of $6,500.
 
Item 3. Legal Proceedings
 
Certain legal actions in the normal course of business are pending to which the Company is a party. The Company does not expect that the ultimate resolution of any other pending legal matters will have a material effect on the financial condition, results of operations or cash flows of the Company. There have been no changes to the existing status of any litigation issues since the date of the Company’s last filing.
 
Item 4. Submission of matters to a vote of security holders

An Annual Meeting of Shareholders was held on June 28, 2006. Three matters were voted upon at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders. Votes were solicited via proxies pursuant to Regulation 14 under the Securities Act of 1934.

1.  
A vote was held for the uncontested reelection of Mr. Seymour Jones as Director. The total number of votes cast was 3,269,246 with 3,229,254 voted in favor and 39,992 withheld. The conclusion was that this vote passed.
2.  
A vote was held for the uncontested reelection of Mr. Joseph Peters as Director. The total number of votes cast was 3,269,246 with 3,209,899 voted in favor and 59,347 withheld. The conclusion was that this vote passed.
3.  
A vote was held to amend the Amended and Restated Article of Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of Common Stock from 9,375,000 to 25,000,000 and to increase the number of authorized Preferred Stock from 18,750 to 50,000. The total number of votes cast was 1,382,095 with 995,038 voted in favor, 385,297 voted against and 1,760 abstained. There were a total of 1,887,151 shares not voted. As the required vote for this proposal was a majority of the outstanding shares of the voting stock, this proposal was not approved.

On February 7, 2005, the Board of Directors approved a two-for-one forward split of the common stock. Par value of the common stock remained $.01 per share and the number of authorized shares of common stock remained at 9,375,000 shares. The stock split was effective March 9, 2005. The effect of the stock split has been reflected in the balance sheets and in all share and per share data in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and Notes to Financial Statements. Stockholders’ equity accounts have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the reclassification of an amount equal to the par value of the decrease in issued common shares from common stock account to paid-in-capital.

As of June 30, 2006, there were approximately 910 registered holders of record of the Company’s common stock.

The Company has not paid any cash dividends on any of its capital stock in at least the last six years. The Company intends to retain future earnings, if any, to finance the growth and development of its business and, therefore, does not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis

Critical Accounting Policies

Financial Reporting Release No. 60 requires all companies to include a discussion of critical accounting policies or methods used in the preparation of financial statements. This should be read in conjunction with the financial statements, and notes thereto, included in this Form 10-K. The following is a brief description of the more significant accounting policies and methods used by the Company.

The Company's consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP"). The preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Company believes that the estimates, judgments and assumptions upon which the Company relies are reasonable based upon information available to us at the time that these estimates, judgments and assumptions are made. To the extent there are material differences between these estimates, judgments or assumptions and actual results, our financial statements will be affected. The significant accounting policies that the Company believes are the most critical to aid in fully understanding and evaluating our reported financial results include the following:
 
·  
Revenue Recognition
·  
Accounts Receivable
·  
Goodwill and Intangible Assets
·  
Long Lived Assets
·  
Accounting for Income Taxes
·  
Use of Estimates
·  
Equity based compensation
·  
Investments in unconsolidated entities

In many cases, the accounting treatment of a particular transaction is specifically dictated by GAAP and does not require management's judgment in its application. There are also areas in which management's judgment in selecting among available alternatives would not produce a materially different result. Our senior management has reviewed the Company's critical accounting policies and related disclosures with our Audit Committee. See Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, which contain additional information regarding our accounting policies and other disclosures required by GAAP.

Revenue Recognition:
 
The Company accounts for revenue recognition in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, ("SAB 104"), which provides guidance on the recognition, presentation and disclosure of revenue in financial statements.

Revenues are reported for the operations of the various subsidiaries of MSGI upon the completion of a transaction that meets the following criteria of SAB 104 when (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) delivery of our services has occurred; (3) our price to our customer is fixed or determinable; and (4) collectibility of the sales price is reasonably assured.

FDA currently does not have any revenue transactions. Innalogic recognizes sales of its product upon shipment if the above criteria have been met.
 
Accounts Receivable
 
The Company extends credit to its customers in the ordinary course of business. Accounts are reported net of an allowance for uncollectible accounts. Bad debts are provided on the allowance method based on historical experience and management’s evaluation of outstanding accounts receivable. In assessing collectibility the Company considers factors such as historical collections, a customer’s credit worthiness, and age of the receivable balance both individually and in the aggregate, and general economic conditions that may affect a customer’s ability to pay. The Company does not require collateral from customers nor are customers required to make up-front payments for goods and services.
 
25

Accounting for Income Taxes:

The Company recognizes deferred taxes for differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities at currently enacted statutory tax rates and laws for the years in which the differences are expected to reverse. The Company uses the liability method of accounting for income taxes, as set forth in SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts and the tax basis of assets and liabilities and net operating loss carry-forwards, all calculated using presently enacted tax rates. The effect on deferred taxes of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amounts expected to be realized.
 
Use of Estimates:
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting prin-ciples generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The most significant estimates and assumptions made in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements relate to the carrying amount and amortization of long lived assets, deferred tax valuation allowance, valuation of stock options, warrants and debt features, fair value of net assets acquired and the allowance for doubtful accounts. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Equity Based Compensation:

We adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 123 Revised 2004, "Share−Based Payment" (“SFAS 123R”) effective July 1, 2005. This Statement requires that the cost resulting from all share−based payment transactions are recognized in the financial statements of the Company. That cost will be measured based on the fair market value of the equity or liability instruments issued. Our adoption of SFAS 123R impacted our results of operations by increasing the non cash compensation expense. The amount of the impact to the Company for the year ended June 30, 2006 was approximately $533,000 of additional recognized stock compensation expense that resulted under SFAS 123R as compared to the expense that would have been recorded under APB 25 for the same period, due to the impact of unvested stock options as of July 1, 2005.

Investments in Non-Consolidated Companies:

The Company accounts for its investments under the cost basis method of accounting if the investment is less than 20% of the voting stock of the investee, or under the equity method of accounting if the investment is greater than 20% of the voting stock of the investee. Investments accounted for under the cost method are recorded at their initial cost, and any dividends or distributions received are recorded in income. For equity method investments, the Company records its share of earnings or losses of the investee during the period. Recognition of losses will be discontinued when the Company’s share of losses equals or exceeds its carrying amount of the investee plus any advances made or commitments to provide additional financial support.

An investment in non-consolidated companies is considered impaired if the fair value of the investment is less than its cost on other than a temporary basis. Generally, an impairment is considered other-than-temporary unless (i) the Company has the ability and intent to hold an investment for a reasonable period of time sufficient for an anticipated recovery of fair value up to (or beyond) the cost of the investment; and (ii) evidence indicating that the cost of the investment is recoverable within a reasonable period of time outweighs evidence to the contrary. If impairment is determined to be other-than-temporary, then an impairment loss is recognized equal to the difference between the investment’s cost and its fair value.

Overview

To facilitate an analysis of MSGI operating results, certain significant events should be considered.

In March 2004, the Company completed the sale of substantially all of the assets relating to its telemarketing and teleservices business held by its wholly owned subsidiary, MKTG Teleservices, Inc., (“MKTG Teleservices”) to SD&A Teleservices, Inc. (“SDA”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Robert W. Woodruff Arts Center, Inc. for approximately $3.3 million in cash plus the assumption of certain directly related liabilities, subject to a final working capital adjustment based on net tangible assets as of the date of sale. The Company recognized a loss on disposal of discontinued operations of approximately $.9 million in the year ended June 30, 2004. The loss represents the difference in the net book value of assets and liabilities as of the date of the sale as compared to the net consideration received after settlement of purchase price adjustments plus any additional expenses incurred.

On April 10, 2004, the Company completed its purchase of 51% of the outstanding shares of the common stock of Future Developments America, Inc. ("FDA"), for an aggregate purchase price of $1.0 million, pursuant to a definitive agreement entered into as of April 10, 2004. On July 1, 2005, MSGI and its subsidiary FDA entered into a Stock Purchase, Earnout and Royalty Payment Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Future Developments, Ltd. (“FDL”), Darren Labas and Jamie Labas, to acquire the remaining 49% of the issued and outstanding shares of Future Developments America, Inc. held by Darren and Jamie Labas, not held by the Company. This transaction gives 100% ownership of all issued and outstanding shares of Future Developments America, Inc. to MSGI. In connection with this transaction, the technology and intellectual property associated with this business was transferred to FDL (in which we have no ownership interest), and we impaired substantially all of our assets related to our investment.

On August 18, 2004, the Company completed an acquisition of a 51% membership interest in Innalogic, LLC, for an aggregate capital contribution of $1,000,000, pursuant to definitive agreements entered into as of August 18, 2004. Further, subject to the terms and conditions of an Investment Agreement, the Company issued an aggregate of 50,000 unregistered shares of its common stock to Innalogic. These shares were subsequently distributed to the founding members of Innalogic and were recorded as non-cash compensation in the amount of $235,886 in the period ended September 30, 2004. The Company also issued 50,000 unregistered shares of common stock to certain advisors as compensation for services rendered in connection with the completion of this transaction. As set forth in Innalogic's Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement, the Company may obtain up to an additional 25% membership interest in Innalogic, if certain pre-tax income targets are not met by certain target dates. On August 31, 2005, the limited liability agreement was restructured such that the Company obtained 76% ownership interest in Innalogic LLC.

On December 1, 2004, the Company entered into a Subscription Agreement with Excelsa S.p.A. (“Excelsa”), a corporation organized under the laws of the Republic of Italy, to acquire 66,632 shares of common stock of Excelsa, par value of 1.0 Euro per share, representing 4.5% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Excelsa on a fully diluted basis. MSGI acquired the Common Stock for an aggregate purchase price of $1,751,319, including approximately $84,000 of acquisition costs.
 
On January 3, 2005, the Company entered into an additional Subscription Agreement with Excelsa S.p.A. (“Excelsa”), a corporation organized under the laws of the Republic of Italy, to acquire an additional 135,381 shares of common stock of Excelsa, par value of 1.0 Euro per share, for a purchase price of approximately $2.0 million dollars, representing 8.4% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Excelsa on a fully diluted basis. The shares acquired, in the aggregate with the original shares acquired in December 2004 (Note 5), represent 12.5% of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock of Excelsa on a fully diluted basis. Excelsa has represented to the Company that it will not solicit, initiate, consider, encourage or accept any other proposals or offers from any person relating to any acquisition or purchase of all or any portion of the capital stock or assets of Excelsa or any of its subsidiaries nor will it enter into any merger, consolidation, business combination, recapitalization, reorganization or other extraordinary business transaction involving or related to Excelsa or any of its subsidiaries for the period from the date of execution of the subscription agreement through December 31, 2005.
 
On May 16, 2005, the Company entered into a Restructuring and Subscription Agreement with Excelsa and stockholders of Excelsa (other than MSGI) owning in the aggregate more than 51 percent of Excelsa’s issued and outstanding common stock, to acquire 262,500 shares of Excelsa common stock at no additional consideration by MSGI. After giving effect to such issuance, and together with the 202,013 shares of Excelsa common stock already owned by Excelsa, MSGI owns approximately 19.5 percent of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Excelsa, which the parties agreed better reflects the value of Excelsa under US generally accepted accounting principles. As the Company has less than 20% ownership interest in Excelsa and does not have the ability to exercise significant influence over Excelsa, this aggregate investment is accounted for under the cost method of accounting. The Company wrote down the value of its investment in Excelsa to $1,650,000 at June 30, 2006.

On June 1, 2005, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement to acquire equity ownership interests in AONet International srl (“AONet”), a limited liability company organized under the laws of the Republic of Italy, representing 51% of all of AONet’s equity ownership interests issued and outstanding as of the date of the Stock Purchase Agreement on a fully diluted basis. The purchase price for the 51% stake was 1,100,000 Euro, of which 600,000 Euro has been paid to date (100,000 Euro on May 17, 2005, 250,000 Euro on June 1, 2005 and 250,000 on October 2, 2005) and the remainder is payable in two equal installments of 250,000 Euro due on each of December 31, 2005 and March 31, 2006. The Stock Purchase Agreement provides that, if the Company fails to pay any of the individual installments within 48 hours of the applicable due date, the Stock Purchase Agreement will be terminated and the Company will be obligated to return all acquired equity ownership interests in AONet to the previous owner, forfeiting any and all payments made to that date.

In April 2006, the Company defaulted on certain payment provisions of the Stock Purchase Agreement of AONet International, S.r.l. which provided that, if the Company failed to pay any of the individual installments within 48 hours of the applicable due date, the Stock Purchase Agreement will be terminated and the Company will be obligated to return all acquired equity ownership interests in AONet to the previous owner, forfeiting any and all payments made to that date. As of April 1, 2006, all equity ownership interests reverted back to the previous owner and, as a result, the AONet subsidiary has been deconsolidated from the financial statements of the Company. As such, the operations and cash flows of AONet have been eliminated from ongoing operations and the Company no longer has continuing involvement in the operations, and all amounts have been reclassified into discontinued operations.

On October 19, 2006 the Company entered into a Subscription Agreement with Hyundai Syscomm Corp, a California Corporation, (“Hyundai”) for the sale of 900,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Subscription Agreement, Hyundai agrees to purchase from the Company 900,000 shares of common stock in exchange for the Company’s receipt of $500,000 received in connection with a certain License Agreement, dated September 11, 2006, and receipt of a certain pending Sub-Contracting Agreement. Under the terms and conditions set forth in the Subscription Agreement, Hyundai agrees that the Company shall not be required to issue, or reserve for issuance at any time in accordance with Nasdaq rule 4350(i), in the aggregate, Common Stock equal to more than 19.99% of the Company's common stock outstanding (on a pre-transaction basis). Therefore the Company can issue 865,000 shares of common stock at the initial closing of the transaction, and the remaining 35,000 shares of common stock shall be issued when and if: (a) the holders of a majority of the shares of common stock outstanding vote in favor of Hyundai owning more than 19.99% of the Company’s common stock outstanding; or (b) additional issuances of common stock by the Company permit such issuance in accordance with Nasdaq rule 4350(i). Under the License Agreement, the Company has agreed to license certain intellectual property to Hyundai. Under the Sub-Contracting Agreement, Hyundai will retain the Company as a sub-contractor for the Company’s products and services.

On October 25, 2006 the Company entered into a Sub -Contracting Agreement with Hyundai Syscomm Corp. The Sub-Contracting Agreement allows for MSGI and its affiliates to participate in contracts that Hyundai and/or its affiliates now have or may obtain hereafter, where the Company’s products and/or services for encrypted wired or wireless surveillance systems or perimeter security would enhance the value of the contract(s) to Hyundai or its affiliates. The initial term of the Sub-Contracting Agreement is three years, with subsequent automatic one year renewals unless the Sub-Contracting Agreement is terminated by either party under the terms allowed by the Agreement. Further, under the terms of the Sub-Contracting Agreement, the Company will provide certain limited product and software warranties to Hyundai for a period of 12 months after the assembly of the Company’s products and product components by Hyundai or its affiliates with regard to the product and for a period of 12 months after the date of installation of the software by Hyundai or its affiliate with regard to the software. The Company will also provide training, where required, for assembly, maintenance and usage of the equipment and shall charge it’s most favored price for such training services. No title or other ownership of rights in the Company’s Firmware or any copy thereof shall pass to Hyundai or its affiliates under this Agreement. Hyundai and its affiliates agree that it shall not alter and notices on, prepare derivative works based on, or reproduce, disassemble or decompile any Software embodied in the Firmware recorded in the Company’s products.

Results of Operations Fiscal 2006 Compared to Fiscal 2005

As of the year ended June 30, 2006 (the “Current Period”), the Company realized revenues in the amount of approximately $127,000 from the sales of Innalogic products for several unique projects. One domestic security organization represented a substantial portion of such revenues and revenues to Excelsa represented the majority of the remaining 2006 revenues. We expect sales to grow as the technology becomes more well-known if we can increase our sales organization or have our business partners act as distributors. All revenues generated by previously owned subsidiaries and AONet during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2004 through 2006, have been reclassified to a single line presentation of Loss from Discontinued Operations on the Consolidated Statement of Operations. Revenues declined from the 2005 (“Prior Period”) levels of approximately $631,000 due to the timing of the orders. The Company’s ability to secure and fulfill orders was significantly impacted by the lack of resources during the Current Period.

Costs of goods sold of approximately 38,000 in the Current Period and approximately $206,000 in the Prior Period consisted primarily of the expenses related to acquiring the components required to provide the specific technology applications ordered by each individual customer. As a percentage of sales, the gross profit margin remained relatively consistent. All costs of goods sold recognized by previously owned subsidiaries during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2004, (the “Prior Period”), have been reclassified to Loss from Discontinued Operations on the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

Research and development expenses were approximately $180,000 in the Prior Period. The Company recognized research and development costs associated with certain product development activities in the Future Developments America, Inc subsidiary. As a result of our renegotiation of our relationship with the founders of FDA at the end of the Prior Period, we do not expect to incur research and development costs for that business in the future. However, we may invest in research and development projects for our other operations.
 
Salaries and benefits of approximately $2.0 million in the Current Period increased by approximately $0.3 million or 21% over salaries and benefits of approximately $1.7 million in the Prior Period. Salaries and benefits increased due to an increase in headcount to support the planned expansion of operations in Italy and as a result of newly hired corporate personnel. Certain of the employees related to the operations in Italy have subsequently been dismissed or their involvement reduced.
 

The Company recognized non-cash employee compensation expenses of approximately $1.5 million in the Current Period compared to expense of approximately $1.8 million in the Prior Period. The Prior Period charge is primarily in recognition of the fair market value of stock options granted to certain employees and directors granted at an exercise price below market value at the measurement date as accounted for under Accounting Principles Board No. 25. The Current Period charge is the result of the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R) and the resultant recognition of expense related to unvested stock awards.
 
The Company recognized an expense for the provision for loss on a note receivable from the Chief Executive Officer of the Company as of June 30, 2006. The collection of this note by its October 15, 2006 due date did not occur. The Board of Directors of the Company subsequently elected to forgive such note receivable and the full amount has been written off. There was no such cost in the Prior Period.

Selling, general and administrative expenses of approximately $3.8 million in the Current Period increased by approximately $1.1 million or 41% over comparable expenses of $2.7 million in the Prior Period. The increase is due primarily to the expense of approximately $500,000 related to the unsuccessful VeriSign relationship in Italy, as well as increased travel, marketing, and business development expenses in connection with the completion of the recent acquisitions and subsequent integration. Professional fees also increased as a result of the expansion and later contraction of our operations in Italy, and legal and accounting fees associated with operations in the Unites States and Italy.

During the Prior Period the Company entered into a Stock Purchase, Earnout and Royalty Payment Agreement (the “Agreement”) on July 1, 2005 with Future Developments, Ltd. (“FDL”), Darren Labas and Jamie Labas, to acquire the remaining 49% of the issued and outstanding shares of Future Developments America, Inc. (“FDA”) held by Darren and Jamie Labas, not held by the Company. This transaction gives 100% ownership of all issued and outstanding shares of Future Developments America, Inc. to MSGI. As a result of our July 1, 2005 amendment to our agreements with the founder’s of FDA, the technology and intellectual property being developed was transferred to a company (“FDL”) controlled by the founders of FDA and we, through our subsidiary FDA, are a non-exclusive licensee in the United States of certain products developed by FDL and of other products developed by outside organizations. We also are entitled to receive royalties on certain sales of products to others which are marketed by FDL. Previously booked goodwill and other intangibles of $490,000 and $268,000 respectively, associated with the Company’s original investment in FDA was deemed impaired as of June 30, 2005 as a result of the transaction.

29

During the Current Period, the Company recorded depreciation and amortization expense of approximately $200,000 as a result of writing-off certain abandoned fixed assets and a full year of depreciation for Innalogic assets, whereas the Company had a lesser amount of depreciable or amortizable assets in service in the Prior Period.

During the Current Period, the Company recorded a loss from impairment on the investment in Excelsa of approximately $2.4 million. There was no such expense realized in the Prior Period.

Interest income of approximately $70,000 represents primarily the interest earned on the promissory note from the Chief Executive Officer, and earnings from cash investments.

Interest expense of approximately $4.5 million is primarily due to debt transactions entered into during the Current Period and the value of certain equity instruments granted to note holders in contemplation of debt defaults and the issuances of extensions and waivers. As a result of continued defaults, the Company accelerated the amortization of deferred financing costs and other interest costs, such that most of said items were fully recognized in interest expense at June 30, 2006. The interest expense associated with the debt modifications was approximately $2.2 million during the year ended June 30, 2006.

During the Prior Period the Company recognized a gain on an early termination of a lease of a discontinued operation of approximately $70,000. The property lease was terminated and previously booked reserves for abandoned properties were reversed against the cash settlement paid.

The net provision for income taxes of approximately $34,000 in the Current Period increased by approximately $22,000 over net provision for income taxes of approximately $12,000 from the Prior Period, primarily due to provisions for state and local taxes incurred on taxable income or equity at the operating subsidiary level, which cannot be offset by losses incurred at the parent company level or other operating subsidiaries. The Company has recognized a full valuation allowance against the deferred tax assets because it is more likely than not that sufficient taxable income will not be generated during the carry forward period to utilize the deferred tax assets.

As a result of the above, loss from continuing operations item of approximately $15.5 million in the Current Period increased by $9.1 million over a comparable loss of $6.4 in the Prior Period.
 
The loss from discontinued operations-AONet represents our share of the results of the operations of AONet for the period in which we consolidated their operations in our financial statements. For the Prior Period, we recognized one month of AONet’s operations. The relative losses from the AONet business increased in the Current Period over the Prior Period primarily because of a decline in sales associated with a decline in sales efforts and the loss of certain customers. The loss on disposal of discontinued operations-AONet represents the write-down of the remaining book value of assets and liabilities associated with the AONet operations to nil as of April 1, 2006, the date we defaulted on the required debt service payment and forfeited our ownership.
 
The loss from discontinued operations-other of approximately $5,000 in the Current Period is the result of a write-off of a facility rent deposit for a former subsidiary. The losses from discontinued operations-other of approximately $181,000 in the Prior Period are primarily the result of trailing expenses related to the sale of MKTG Teleservices, Inc. Of this loss, approximately $75,000 is due to the negotiation of an early payment to MSGI of a note receivable by the purchaser of MKTG Teleservices and approximately $59,000 is due to a transfer fee for certain operational software licenses.
 
As a result of the above, net loss of approximately $17.6 million in the Current Period increased by approximately $1.8 million over comparable net loss of $6.8 million in the Prior Period.

In the Current Period the Company recognized undeclared dividends on preferred stock of approximately $178,000 as compared to $117,000 in the Prior Period. This pertains to the issuance of the Company’s Series F Convertible Preferred Stock. The Company is required to pay an annual dividend of 6% on the Preferred Stock, payable in shares of the Company’s common stock.
 
30

As a result of the above, net loss attributable to common shareholder of approximately $17.8 million in the Current Period increased by approximately $11.0 million over comparable net loss of $6.8 million in the Prior Period.

Results of Operations Fiscal 2005 Compared to Fiscal 2004

As of the year ended June 30, 2005 (the “Current Period”), the Company realized revenues in the amount of approximately $631,000. Sales of Innalogic products for several unique projects commenced in fiscal 2005. One domestic security organization represented a substantial portion of such sales.

Costs of goods sold of approximately $206,000 in the Current Period consisted primarily of the expenses related to acquiring the components required to provide the specific technology applications ordered by each individual customer.

Research and development expenses of approximately $180,000 in the Current Period increased by approximately $12,000 or 7% over research and development expenses of approximately $168,000 in the Prior Period. The Company recognized research and development costs associated with certain product development activates in its Future Developments America, Inc subsidiary. As a result of our renegotiation of our relationship with the founders of FDA, we do not expect to incur research and development costs for that business in the future. We may invest in research and development projects for our other operations.
 
Salaries and benefits of approximately $1.7 million in the Current Period increased by approximately $1.3 million or 325% over salaries and benefits of approximately $0.4 million in the Prior Period. Salaries and benefits increased due to an increase in headcount as a result of acquisitions of new majority owned operations (approximately $700,000 at Innalogic for the ten months of operations in this Current Period) as well as increased headcount as a result of newly hired corporate support personnel.
 
The Company recognized non-cash employee compensation expenses of approximately $1.8 million in the Current Period with no comparable expense in the Prior Period primarily in recognition of the fair market value of stock options granted to certain employees and directors granted at an exercise price below market value at the measurement date as accounted for under Accounting Principles Board No. 25.
 
Selling, general and administrative expenses of approximately $2.7 million in the Current Period increased by approximately $0.9 million or 50% over comparable expenses of $1.8 million in the Prior Period. The increase is due primarily to the acquisition of new operations (approximately $470,000 at Innalogic for the ten months of operations in this period) during the Current Period and added professional fees associated with the expanded businesses.

During the Current Period the Company entered into a Stock Purchase, Earnout and Royalty Payment Agreement (the “Agreement”) on July 1, 2005 with Future Developments, Ltd. (“FDL”), Darren Labas and Jamie Labas, to acquire the remaining 49% of the issued and outstanding shares of Future Developments America, Inc. (“FDA”) held by Darren and Jamie Labas, not held by the Company. This transaction gives 100% ownership of all issued and outstanding shares of Future Developments America, Inc. to MSGI. Previously booked goodwill and other intangibles of $490,000 and $268,000, respectively, associated with the Company’s original investment in FDA was deemed impaired as of June 30, 2005 as a result of the transaction.

During the Current Period the Company recognized a gain on an early termination of a lease of a discontinued operation of approximately $70,000. The property lease for the former subsidiary WiredEmpire, Inc. was terminated and previously booked reserves for abandoned properties were reversed against the cash settlement paid.

During the Current Period, the Company recorded depreciation and amortization expense of approximately $120,000 as a result of purchasing fixed assets and acquiring for Innalogic and AONet, whereas the Company had no depreciable or amortizable assets in the Prior Period.

Interest income of approximately $32,000 in the Current Period decreased by approximately $88,000 or 73% over interest income of approximately $120,000 in the Prior Period. Net interest income decreased primarily due to a decrease in average cash balances during the Current Period.

31

Interest expenses in the Prior Period related to balances in notes payable which were since repaid.

As a result of the above, loss from continuing operations item of approximately $6.4 million in the Current Period increased by $4.3 million over a comparable loss of $2.1 in the Prior Period.
 
The loss from discontinued operations-AONet represents our share of the operations of AONet for the period of our ownership of a 51% interest from June 1 through June 30, 2005.
 
The loss from discontinued operations-other of approximately $181,000 in the Current Period are the primarily result of trailing expenses related to the sale of MKTG Teleservices, Inc. Of this loss, approximately $75,000 is due to the negotiation of an early payment to MSGI of a note receivable by the purchaser of MKTG Teleservices and approximately $59,000 is due to a transfer fee for certain operational software licenses. The loss from discontinued operations in the Prior Period is the results of loss incurred during the respective periods from MKTG Teleservices, Inc. and the Northeast Operations which have been sold.
 
In connection with the sale of MKTG Teleservices, Inc., the Company realized a loss on disposal of discontinued operations of approximately $1.0 million in the Prior Period. The loss primarily results from the difference in the net book value of assets and liabilities as of the date of the sale as compared to the net consideration received after settlement of purchase price adjustments.
 
As a result of the above, net loss of approximately $6.8 million in the Current Period increased by approximately $3.5 million over comparable net loss of $3.3 million in the Prior Period.

In the Current Period the Company recognized undeclared dividends on preferred stock of approximately $116,000. This pertains to the issuance of the Company’s Series F Convertible Preferred Stock. The Company is required to pay an annual dividend of 6% on the Preferred Stock, payable in shares of the Company’s common stock.

In the Prior Period the Company recognized a gain on redemption of preferred stock of a discontinued operation of approximately $281,000 and is reflected in net income/(loss) attributable to common stockholders during the Prior Period.
 
As a result of the above, net loss attributable to common shareholder of approximately $6.9 million in the Current Period increased by approximately $3.9 million over comparable net loss of $3.0 million in the Prior Period.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Financial Reporting Release No. 61, which was recently released by the SEC, requires all companies to include a discussion to address, among other things, liquidity, off-balance sheet arrangements, contractual obligations and commercial commitments. The Company currently does not maintain any off-balance sheet arrangements.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources

Historically, the Company has funded its operations, capital expenditures and acquisitions pri-marily through private placements of equity and debt transactions. At June 30, 2006, the Company had no cash and cash equivalents and was in default of debt agreements. The Company does not believe that existing financing will meet their current working capital and debt service requirements. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability of the carrying amount of recorded assets or the amount of liabilities that might result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Subsequent Event Transactions:
The transactions described below are transactions entered into after June 30, 2006:

During the month of June 2006, the company received funding, in the amount of $300,000 from a certain New York based homeland security firm as an advance in contemplation of a further strategic transaction between the two parties. From July 1, 2006 through October 13, 2006, the Company received an additional $700,000 in such advances. Further, the strategic partner paid certain expenses on our behalf. There can be no assurances that the strategic transactions can or will be completed. The advances bear interest at a rate of 8% and amounts to $1,381 for the year ended June 30, 2006.

32

The Company has engaged the investment banking firm of HC Wainwright to raise additional capital for our operations. On December 13, 2006 the Company, pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement between the Company and several institutional investors (the "Investors"), issued $2,000,000 aggregate principal amount of callable secured convertible notes (the "Notes") and stock purchase warrants exercisable for 3,000,000 shares of common stock (the "Warrants") in a private placement for an aggregate offering price of $2,000,000. The conversion of the Notes and the exercise of the Warrants are subject to stockholder approval (the "Stockholder Approval"), which the Company is required to use its best efforts to obtain by February 15, 2007. H.C. Wainwright acted as a placement agent for a portion of the offering.

The Notes have a maturity date of December 13, 2009 and will accrue interest at a rate of 6% per annum. The Investors can convert the principal amount of the Notes into common stock of the Company, provided certain conditions are met, and each conversion is subject to certain volume limitations. The conversion price of the Notes is 75% of the average of the lowest three closing prices of the Company's common stock for the 20 day period prior to such conversion, with a minimum conversion price of $0.50 per share. The payment obligation under the Notes may accelerate if the resale of the shares of common stock underlying the Notes and Warrants are not registered in accordance with the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement (described herein), payments under the Notes are not made when due or upon the occurrence of other defaults described in the Notes. The Warrants are exercisable once Stockholder Approval is obtained until seven years from the date of issuance. The exercise price of the Warrants is $1.00 per share.

The Notes and the Warrant have anti-dilution protections and the Company has agreed to certain registration rights for the resale of the shares of common stock underlying the Notes, pursuant to a registration rights agreement entered into simultaneously with the transaction (the "Registration Rights Agreement"). The Company has also entered into a Security Agreement (the "Security Agreement") and an Intellectual Property Security Agreement (the "Intellectual Property Security Agreement") with the Investors in connection with the closing, which grants security interests in certain assets of the Company and the Company's subsidiaries to the Investors to secure the Company's obligations under the Notes and Warrants.

The issuance of the Notes and Warrants constituted a private placement and therefore was exempt from registration in accordance with Regulation D of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

On December 13, 2006, the Company also entered into a letter agreement (the "Letter Agreement") with certain of the Investors to amend notes and warrants previously issued to these Investors by the Company, and to waive certain defaults under the notes and warrants.

H.C. Wainwright received a placement fee of $100,000 and 5 year warrants exercisable for 150,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.00 per share.

Analysis of cash flows during fiscal year ended June 30, 2006:

The Company realized a loss from continuing operations of approximately $15.5 million in the Current Period. Cash used in operating activities from continuing operations was approximately $3.1 million. Net cash used in operating activities principally resulted from the loss from continuing operations offset by an increase trade accounts payable and accrued liabilities in the Current Period.

In the Current Period, the Company was provided net cash of approximately $4.5 million from the issuance of debt instruments. These instruments bear interest ranging from 8% - 30%. Substantially all of these instruments are due within 12 months or are already in default. See discussion of debt terms below.

In the Current Period net cash of approximately $652,000 was used in discontinued operations.

Debt: 
Callable Secured Convertible Note financing
On July 12, 2005, MSGI closed a Callable Secured Convertible Note financing of $3 million with a New York based institutional investor. The Company received $2 million in gross proceeds upon closing, and received an additional $500,000 upon filing of the registration statement relating to this financing transaction, and $500,000 upon the effectiveness of the registration statement. The Note requires repayment over a three-year term with an 8% interest per annum. Repayment shall be made in cash or in registered shares of common stock, or a combination of both, at the option of the Company, and payment commences 90 days after each closing date and is payable monthly in equal principal installments plus interest over the remaining 33 months. Pursuant to an amendment dated September 21, 2005 the Company has the option to make the monthly payments in registered shares of common stock only if the stock price exceeds $4.92 over a specified period of time. The Holder has the option to convert all or any part of the outstanding principal to common stock if the average daily price, as defined in the agreement, for the preceding five trading days is greater than the defined Initial Market Price of $6.56. The conversion price is $4.92. The agreement provides that for any monthly period in which the stock price is greater than 125% of the initial market price of $6.56, as defined in the agreement, for the month, the interest rate for that month will be 0%. The Company granted registration rights to the investors for the resale of the shares of common stock underlying the notes and certain warrants that were issued in the transaction. In January 2006, this Agreement was further amended with a Letter Agreement in conjunction with additional short-tem notes the Company entered into with the same investors (see below), which allows the Company to meet its payment obligations under the terms of the Callable Secured Convertible Notes for the months of January, February and March 2006 by issuing 22,000 shares of the Company’s common stock per month, due on the last day of each month. The Letter Agreement also allows for the issuance of 9,000 shares of the Company’s common stock as a partial payment against the obligation due for the Callable Secured Convertible Notes for the month of April 2006. Also, in January 2006, the Chief Executive Officer entered into a guarantee and pledge agreement with the noteholders, whereby, the common stock of MSGI owned by the Chief Executive Officer (Approximately 190,000 shares) was pledged as additional collateral for the notes. As of June 30, 2006, the Company issued 75,000 shares of its common stock per the terms of the Letter Agreement. Through a combination of cash payments ($211,253) and issuance of shares of common stock, the principal balance of the $3.0 million of the notes was reduced to $2,574,597 as of June 30, 2006. On June 7, 2006 the Company entered into a waiver agreement providing for a payment of $395,450 due July 14, 2006 for debt service due from April 2006 through July 2006. Such payment was not made on July 14, 2006. In connection with the waiver agreement, the Company issued 800,000 warrants to the note holders. Such warrants were ascribed a fair value, as computed under the Black-Scholes model, of $2,224,808 which was recognized as additional interest expense. Because of the default of the terms of the notes, the amortization of all deferred financing costs, beneficial conversion costs and interest were accelerated to be recognized by June 30, 2006. As of June 30, 2006 the Company was in technical default of the payment terms of the Callable 8% Secured Convertible Notes.

34

On December 13, 2006 the Company pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement between the Company and several institutional investors (the "Investors") issued $2,000,000 aggregate principal amount of callable secured convertible notes (the "Notes") and stock purchase warrants exercisable for 3,000,000 shares of common stock (the "Warrants") in a private placement for an aggregate offering price of $2,000,000. The conversion of the Notes and the exercise of the Warrants are subject to stockholder approval (the "Stockholder Approval"), which the Company is required to use its best efforts to obtain by February 15, 2007. H.C. Wainwright acted as a placement agent for a portion of the offering. The Notes have a maturity date of December 13, 2009 and will accrue interest at a rate of 6% per annum. The Investors can convert the principal amount of the Notes into common stock of the Company, provided certain conditions are met, and each conversion is subject to certain volume limitations. The conversion price of the Notes is 75% of the average of the lowest three closing prices of the Company's common stock for the 20 day period prior to such conversion, with a minimum conversion price of $0.50 per share. The payment obligation under the Notes may accelerate if the resale of the shares of common stock underlying the Notes and Warrants are not registered in accordance with the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement (described herein), payments under the Notes are not made when due or upon the occurrence of other defaults described in the Notes. The Warrants are exercisable once Stockholder Approval is obtained until seven years from the date of issuance. The exercise price of the Warrants is $1.00 per share. The Notes and the Warrant have anti-dilution protections and the Company has agreed to certain registration rights for the resale of the shares of common stock underlying the Notes, pursuant to a registration rights agreement entered into simultaneously with the transaction (the "Registration Rights Agreement"). The Company has also entered into a Security Agreement (the "Security Agreement") and an Intellectual Property Security Agreement (the "Intellectual Property Security Agreement") with the Investors in connection with the closing, which grants security interests in certain assets of the Company and the Company's subsidiaries to the Investors to secure the Company's obligations under the Notes and Warrants. The issuance of the Notes and Warrants constituted a private placement and therefore was exempt from registration in accordance with Regulation D of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

On December 13, 2006, the Company also entered into a letter agreement (the "Letter Agreement") with certain of the Investors to amend notes and warrants previously issued to these Investors by the Company, and to waive certain defaults under the notes and warrants. H.C. Wainwright received a placement fee of $100,000 and 5 year warrants exercisable for 150,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.00 per share.

The short-term notes have an aggregate principal amount of $500,000. The loans bear interest at a rate of 20% through April 19, 2006 and have an annual imputed interest rate of 80%. In connection with the above mentioned letter of amendment, the aggregate principal and interest of $600,000 was due July 14, 2006. Such payment was not made. In the event of any defined event of default declared by the lenders by written notice to the Company, the notes shall become immediately due and payable and the Company shall incur a penalty of an additional 15% of the amounts due and payable under the notes. On December 13, 2006, the Company also entered into a letter agreement (the "Letter Agreement") with certain of the Investors to amend notes and warrants previously issued to these Investors by the Company, and to waive certain defaults under the notes and warrants.

35

During the months of February and March 2006, the Company entered into a series of promissory notes with various private lenders. The notes closed in a series of four transactions over the period of February 17, 2006 to March 23, 2006. Gross proceeds in the amount of $799,585 were obtained and the notes carry an aggregate repayment total of $975,103 (which includes imputed interest of $175,518 or 21.95%) which is due and payable upon maturity. The notes carry a maturity date of February 28, 2007. In addition, warrants for the purchase of up to 585,062 shares of the Company’s common stock were issued to the individual lenders. The Company computed the value of the warrants as $1,645,194 using the Black-Scholes methodology, which value is being amortized over the term of the note. The warrants carry an exercise price of $4.50 and a term of 5 years. The warrants may be exercised 65 days after the date of issuance. Placement fees in the amount of $73,133 were paid to vFinance Investments, Inc. as placement agent. Escrow agent fees in the amount of $20,000 were paid to Kreiger & Prager LLP as escrow agent. Other closing fees in the amount of $6,090 and finders fees of $40,000 were also paid. In addition to the placement fees, warrants for the purchase of up to 73,134 shares of the Company’s common stock were issued to the placement agent and its designees. The agent warrants carry an exercise price of $6.50, a term of 5 years and may be exercised 65 days after the date of issuance.

During the month of June 2006, the company received funding, in the amount of $300,000 from a certain New York based homeland security firm as an advance in contemplation of a further strategic transaction between the two parties. From July 1, 2006 through October 13, 2006, the Company received an additional $700,000 in such advances. In addition, the strategic partner also has paid certain expenses on our behalf. There can be no assurances that the strategic transactions can or will be completed. The advances bear interest at a rate of 8% and amounts to $1,381 for the year ended June 30, 2006.
 
Acquisition and disposition of AONet International srl:

On June 1, 2005, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement to acquire equity ownership interests in AONet International Srl (“AONet”), a company organized under the laws of the Republic of Italy, representing 51% of all of AONet’s equity ownership interests issued and outstanding as of the date of the Stock Purchase Agreement on a fully diluted basis. The purchase price for the 51% stake was 1,100,000 Euro ( of which 350,000 Euro has been paid through June 30,,2005 and the remainder was payable in three equal installments of 250,000 Euro due on each of September 30 (paid October 2, 2005) and December 31, 2005 and March 31, 2006. The Stock Purchase Agreement provided that, if the Company failed to pay any of the individual installments within 48 hours of the applicable due date, the Stock Purchase Agreement would be terminated and the Company would be obligated to return all acquired equity ownership interests in AONet to the previous owner, forfeiting any and all payments made to that date.

Effective March 31, 2006, MSGI defaulted on its required payments to the seller of AONet majority interest to us. As a result, the Company forfeited its ownership interest. Further, VeriSign has not pursued the development of the Italian marketplace. As a result, we have impaired all of our assets related to these investments and have reclassified the results of AONet as a discontinued operation.

Preferred Stock: 

Series F
On November 10, 2004 the Company entered into and closed on definitive agreements with certain strategic investors for the purchase of 9,375 shares of Series F Convertible Preferred Stock at $320.00 per share for gross proceeds of approximately $3 million. On an as converted basis, the Series F Convertible Preferred Stock in this transaction equates to approximately 461,538 shares of Common Stock at a price of $6.50 per share. In connection with the issuance of the preferred stock, warrants were be issued to the investors to purchase approximately 230,770 shares of Common stock at an exercise price of $8.125 per share. Also, in connection with the issuance of the preferred stock, warrants will be issued to the placement agent to purchase approximately 27,692 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $6.50. Purchasers were also be granted five year warrants to purchase the number of shares of Common Stock equal to 0.50 multiplied by the number of Series F Convertible Preferred Stock purchased multiplied by the 49.23076 conversion rate, at an exercise price equal to 25% above the conversion price of the Series F Convertible Preferred Stock. The placement agent was granted five year warrants to purchase the number of shares of Common Stock equal to 6% of the number of Series F Convertible Preferred Stock sold multiplied by the conversion rate of 49.23076, at an exercise price equal to the conversion price of the Series F Convertible Preferred Stock. The Company will pay an annual dividend of 6% on the Preferred Stock, payable in shares of the Company’s common stock. There are no reset provisions or anti-dilution provisions associated with this Series F Convertible Preferred Stock.

36

On June 6, 2005, the Company filed a registration statement on Form S-3 in order to register the shares of the Company’s common stock underlying the Series F Convertible Preferred Stock. As a result of filing the registration statement later than 180 days past the November 10, 2004 closing date of the definitive agreements for the purchase of the Series F Convertible Preferred Stock, per the terms of definitive agreements the Company issued approximately 469 additional shares of Series F Convertible Preferred Stock as a penalty. These additional shares carry all rights of the original shares issued. The registration statement became effective on July 21, 2005. During fiscal year 2006, 5,813 of the shares of the Series F Convertible Preferred Stock were converted into 286,189 shares of common stock. During the six months ended December 31, 2006, 4,031 of the shares of the Series F Convertible Preferred Stock were converted into 198,470 shares of common stock.

Summary of Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In September 2006, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements.” This Statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This Statement applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements, the Board having previously concluded in those accounting pronouncements that fair value is a relevant measurement attribute. Accordingly, this Statement does not require any new fair value measurements. However, for some entities, the application of this Statement will change current practices. This Statement is effective for financial statements for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. Earlier application is permitted provided that the reporting entity has not yet issued financial statements for that fiscal year. The Company is going to adopt the provisions of SFAS No. 157 in the first quarter of fiscal year ended June 30, 2007 and we do not expect any significant impact to our financial statements upon adoption.

In May 2005, the FASB issued FASB Statement 154, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections - a replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3” (“SFAS 154”). SFAS 154 changes the requirements for the accounting for and reporting of a change in accounting principle. The provisions of SFAS 154 require, unless impracticable, retrospective application to prior periods’ financial statements of (1) all voluntary changes in accounting principles and (2) changes required by a new accounting pronouncement, if a specific transition is not provided. SFAS 154 also requires that a change in depreciation, amortization, or depletion method for long-lived, non-financial assets be accounted for as a change in accounting estimate, which requires prospective application of the new method. SFAS 154 is effective for all accounting changes made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. In July 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretations No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes,” an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” The Interpretation establishes criteria for recognizing and measuring the financial statement tax effects of positions taken on a company’s tax returns. A two-step process is prescribed whereby the threshold for recognition is a more-likely-than-not test that the tax position will be sustained upon examination and the tax position is measured at the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The Company currently recognizes a tax position if it is probable of being sustained. The Interpretation is effective for the Company beginning July 1, 2007 and will be applicable to all tax positions upon initial adoption. Only tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold at the effective date may continue to be recognized upon adoption of the Interpretation. The Company is evaluating the potential effects the Interpretation may have on its consolidated financial position or results of operations, but no material consequence is expected.

In September 2006, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108, "Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements" ("SAB 108"). SAB 108 provides guidance on how to evaluate prior period financial statement misstatements for purposes of assessing their materiality in the current period. Correcting prior year financial statements for immaterial misstatements would not require amending previously filings; rather such corrections may be made in subsequent filings. The cumulative effect of initially applying SAB 108, if any, can be recorded as an adjustment to opening retained earnings. SAB 108 does not change the SEC staff's previous positions regarding qualitative considerations in assessing the materiality of misstatements. SAB 108 is effective for annual financial statements covering the first fiscal year ending after November 15, 2006, with earlier application encouraged for any interim period of the first fiscal year ending after November 15, 2006, filed after the publication of SAB 108 (September 13, 2006). Management does not currently anticipate any adjustments to opening retained earnings resulting from the application of SAB 108.

Item 7 (a). Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk

MSGI has obtained certain debt instruments bearing fixed interest rates. There may be risk associated with the interest rates applied to these debt instruments, should the rates drop significantly below the fixed price. There is also and additional penalty rate charged for certain debt instruments which are in default and, as a result of such defaults, we are currently bearing this additional interest.

Item 8 - Financial Statements and Supplementary Data

The Consolidated Financial Statements required by this Item 8 are set forth as indicated in the index following Item 14(a)(1).

Item 9 - Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure

Reconta Ernst & Young S.p.A. audited the financial statements of AONet International S.r.L. as of June 30, 2005 and for the one month then ended, and issued their report dated October 5, 2005, and which report was unqualified but did contain an explanatory paragraph with respect to the uncertainty of AONet International S.r.L.’s ability to continue as a going concern. During fiscal year 2006, MSGI was informed that Reconta Ernst & Young S.p.A. was resigning from this engagement and would not reissue their opinion on the 2005 financial statements of AONet International S.r.L. Amper, Politziner and Mattia P.C., the Company’s registered independent public accountants, re-audited the financial statements of AONet International S.r.L. as of June 30, 2005 and for the one month then ended. Therefore, the report of Amper, Politziner & Mattia P.C. addresses the financial statements of MSGI taken as a whole for the year ended June 30, 2005 and it will no longer be necessary for Reconta Ernst & Young S.p.A to reissue their opinion on the 2005 financial statements of AONet International S.r.L.

Item 9 (a) - Controls and Procedures 

Quarterly Evaluation of the Company's Disclosure Controls and Internal Controls. As of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K, the Company evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of its "disclosure controls and procedures" ("Disclosure Controls"), and its "internal controls and procedures for financial reporting" ("Internal Controls"). This evaluation (the "Controls Evaluation") was done under the supervision and with the participation of our chief executive officer ("CEO") and principal financial officer. Rules adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") require that in this section of the Annual Report we present the conclusions of the CEO and the principal financial officer about the effectiveness of our Disclosure Controls and Internal Controls based on and as of the date of the Controls Evaluation.

Disclosure Controls and Internal Controls. As provided in Rule 13a-14 of the General Rules and Regulations under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, Disclosure Controls are defined as meaning controls and procedures that are designed with the objective of insuring that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), is recorded, processed, designed and reported within the time periods specified by the SEC's rules and forms. Disclosure Controls include, within the definition under the Exchange Act, and without limitation, controls and procedures to insure that information required to be disclosed by us in our reports is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding disclosure. Internal Controls are procedures which are designed with the objective of providing reasonable assurance that (1) our transactions are properly authorized; (2) our assets are safeguarded against unauthorized or improper use; and (3) our transactions are properly recorded and reported, all to permit the preparation of our financial statements inconformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

Scope of the Controls Evaluation. The evaluation made by our CEO and principal financial officer of our Disclosure Controls and our Internal Controls included a review of the controls' objectives and design, the controls' implementation by the Company and the effect of the controls on the information generated for use in this Annual Report. In the course of the Controls Evaluation, we sought to identify data errors, control problems or acts of fraud and to confirm that appropriate corrective action, including process improvements, were being undertaken. This type of evaluation will be done on a quarterly basis so that the conclusions concerning controls effectiveness can be reported in our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Annual Report on Form 10-K. The overall goals of these various evaluation activities are to monitor our Disclosure Controls and our Internal Controls and to make modifications as necessary; our intent in this regard is that the Disclosure Controls and the Internal Controls will be maintained as dynamic systems that change (including with improvements and corrections) as conditions warrant.

38

Among other matters, we sought in our evaluation to determine whether there were any "significant deficiencies" or "material weaknesses" in the Company's Internal Controls, or whether the Company had identified any acts of fraud involving personnel who have a significant role in the Company's Internal Controls. In the professional auditing literature, "significant deficiencies" are referred to as "reportable conditions"; these are control issues that could have a significant adverse effect on the ability to record, process, summarize and report financial data in the financial statements. A "material weakness" is defined in the auditing literature as a particularly serious reportable condition where the internal control does not reduce to a relatively low level the risk that misstatements caused by error or fraud may occur in amounts that would be material in relation to the financial statements and not be detected within a timely period by employees in the normal course of performing their assigned functions. We also sought to deal with other controls matters in the Controls Evaluation, and in each case if a problem was identified, we considered what revision, improvement and/or correction to make in accord with our on-going procedures.

On October 13, 2006, our independent registered accounting firm Amper, Politziner & Mattia, P.C. ("AP&M"), preliminarily informed us and our Audit Committee of the Board of Directors that they had discovered conditions which they deemed to be material weaknesses in our internal controls (as defined by standards established by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board). AP&M noted:
 
·  
a lack of sufficient resources and an insufficient level of monitoring and oversight, which may restrict the Company's ability to gather, analyze and report information relative to the financial statement assertions in a timely manner, including insufficient documentation and review of selection and application of generally accepted accounting principles to significant non-routine transactions.
·  
The Company could not make the appropriate arrangements to allow the financial statements of our Italian investment (AONet International S.r.L.) to be audited on a timely basis.
·  
The Company has undertaken several recent business ventures without having done sufficient due diligence to be able to fully understand and fund the financial requirements thereof.
·  
The limited size of the accounting department makes it impracticable to achieve an optimum separation of duties.
·  
There are no formal documented closing and reporting calendar and checklists.
·  
There are no uniform policies with respect to the accounting policies utilized by all subsidiaries.
·  
The Whistleblower policies should be disseminated to all employees worldwide.
·  
There are no formal cash flow forecasts, business plans, and organizational structure documents to guide the employees in critical decision-making processes, especially as the company continues its growth and expansion overseas.
·  
Documentation of certain transactions was not completed on a timely basis.

It is the Company's intention to increase the staffing levels of the accounting department as the business rebuilding efforts currently undertaken continue and the demands on the accounting staff increase. 

In accord with SEC requirements, our CEO and principal financial officer each have confirmed that, during the most recent fiscal quarter and since the date of the Controls Evaluation to the date of this Annual Report, there have been no significant changes in Internal Controls or in other factors that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s Internal Controls, including any corrective actions with regard to significant deficiencies and material weaknesses.

Conclusions. Based upon the Controls Evaluation, our CEO and principal financial officer have each concluded that, given the current lack of resources available to the Company, our Disclosure Controls are currently not sufficiently effective to ensure that all material information relating to the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries is made known to management, including the CEO and principal financial officer, particularly during the periods when our periodic reports are being prepared and as of the fiscal reporting period ended June 30, 2006. Our CEO and principal financial officer also concluded that our Disclosure Controls are currently not sufficiently effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and principal financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. The primary reason for said deficiencies is a current and temporary lack of adequate resources and personnel. The Company intends to take action to hire additional staff and develop the adequate policies and procedures with said enhanced staff to ensure that adequate Disclosure Controls are in place to allow for effective and timely management and reporting.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

41

Based solely on the Company's review of the copies of such forms it has received and written representations from certain reporting persons that they were not required to file reports on Form 5 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006, the Company believes that all its officers, directors and greater than ten percent beneficial owners complied with all filing requirements applicable to them with respect to transactions during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006.

Beginning in January 2005, Mr. Barbera elected to defer a portion of his compensation for the third and fourth quarters of the fiscal year ended June 30, 2005 until further notice. The deferred compensation totaled $173,654 at June 30, 2005. Mr. Barbera elected to utilize $50,000 of his deferred compensation as an offset against interest owed on a related party note payable to MSGI. The balance of Mr. Barbera’s deferred compensation at June 30, 2005 was approximately $123,654. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006, Mr. Barbera deferred an additional $92,038 of his compensation. The deferred compensation totaled approximately $215,692 at June 30, 2006.

During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006, Mr. Mitchell deferred approximately $61,100 of his salary.
 
STOCK OPTION GRANTS

The Company maintains a qualified stock option plan (the "1999 Plan") for the issuance of up to 1,125,120 shares of common stock under qualified and non-qualified stock options. The plan is administered by the compensation committee of the Board of Directors which has the authority to determine which officers and key employees of the Company will be granted options, the option price and vesting of the options. In no event shall an option expire more than ten years after the date of grant.

As of June 30, 2004, the Board of Directors had agreed to issue 322,500 options beyond the number available in the 1999 plan, subject to approval of an increase to the plan by a future vote of shareholders. The Company approved 342,500 options to purchase shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.50 and 20,000 options to purchase shares of common stock at an exercise price of $4.125. An annual meeting of shareholders of MSGI was held on February 7, 2005 where a proposal by the Company's Board of Directors to increase the number options available under the 1999 plan by 1,000,000 was approved by a vote of the shareholders. Upon shareholder approval, the 362,500 stock options were granted on February 7, 2005, at which the market price of the stock was $9.48. Due to the difference in market and exercise price, the Company recorded a deferred compensation expense at the date of grant of approximately $2.8 million, which was being amortized over the related service period. For the years ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, the Company realized non-cash employee compensation expense related to the stock options granted of approximately $1.5 million, respectively.

Effective July 1, 2005, the Company has adopted SFAS 123R, “Share−Based Payment”. SFAS 123R replaces SFAS 123 “Accounting for Stock−Based Compensation” and supersedes Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 (“APB 25”), “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.” SFAS123R requires all share−based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the financial statement based on their fair values. The Company has selected the Black−Scholes method of valuation for share−based compensation and has adopted the modified prospective transition method under SFAS 123R, which requires that compensation cost be recorded, as earned, for all unvested stock options outstanding at the beginning of the first quarter of adoption of SFAS 123R. As permitted by SFAS 123R, prior periods have not been restated. The charge is being recognized in non cash compensation on a straight−line basis over the remaining service period after the adoption date based on the options’ original estimate of fair value. The Company did not record a tax benefit related to the share−based compensation expense since the Company has a full valuation allowance against deferred tax assets. In connection with the adoption and provisions of SFAS 123R, the Company reversed the deferred compensation balance of $1,301,974, resulting from the prior application of the intrinsic value method of accounting for stock options, at July 1, 2005 against Additional paid−in capital. This expense is now superseded by the SFAS 123R expense, which will be recorded over the remaining vesting period of the stock options. The expense for stock based compensation for the year ended June 30, 2006 was $1,523,406.

The Company has elected to apply the short-cut method to determine the hypothetical APIC pool provided by FSP FAS 123R-3, “Transition Election Related to Accounting for the Tax Effects of Share-Based Payment Awards.” In future periods, excess tax benefits resulting from stock option exercises will be recognized as additions to APIC in the period the benefit is realized. In the event of a shortfall (i.e., the tax benefit realized is less than the amount previously recognized through periodic stock compensation expense recognition and related deferred tax accounting), the shortfall would be charged against APIC to the extent of previous excess benefits, including the hypothetical APIC pool, and then to tax expense.

There were no options granted during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006.

COMPENSATION OF DIRECTORS

Beginning in October 2003, directors who are not employees of the Company receive an annual retainer fee of $5,000, $1,000 for each Board Meeting attended, $500 for each standing committee meeting attended and $500 for each standing committee meeting for the Chairman of such Committee. Prior thereto, directors who were not employees of the Company received an annual retainer fee of $15,000. Fees for attending meetings and committee meetings remained the same. Such Directors will also be reimbursed for their reasonable expenses for attending board and committee meetings, and will receive an annual grant of options on June 30 of each year to acquire 10,000 shares of common stock for each fiscal year of service, at an exercise price equal to the fair market value on the date of grant. Any Director who is also an employee of the Company is not entitled to any compensation or reimbursement of expenses for serving as a Director of the Company or a member of any committee thereof. The Directors agreed to waive the annual option grant for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2003, 2004, 2005 and 2006.

On May 27, 1997, Mr. Barbera was granted options to acquire 166,667 shares of Common Stock of the Company; 55,556 exercisable at $15.75 per share, 55,556 exercisable at $18.00 per share and 55,556 exercisable at $21.00 per share. One third of the options in each tranche vest immediately and one third of each tranche will become available on each of the next two anniversary dates. On June 30, 2000, Mr. Barbera was granted options to acquire 137,500 shares of Common Stock of the Company at $26.625 per share; 68,750 exercisable on December 31, 2000; 34,375 exercisable on December 31, 2001 and 2002.

On February 7, 2005, upon approval of an increase of the number of options available under the 1999 Plan by a vote of shareholders, Mr. Barbera was granted stock options to purchase 225,000 shares of Common Stock of the company at $1.50 per share. 75,000 options vested on February 7, 2005. 30,000 options vested on March 24, 2005. 60,000 options vest on March 24, 2006. 60,000 options vest on March 24, 2007. If Mr. Barbera is terminated without cause (as defined in the agreement), then the Company shall pay him a lump sum payment equal to 2.99 times the compensation paid during the preceding 12 months and all outstanding stock options shall fully vest and become immediately exercisable.

44

In connection with the adoption and provisions of SFAS 123R, the Company reversed the remaining deferred compensation balance of $1,301,974, resulting from the prior application of the intrinsic value method of accounting for stock options, at July 1, 2005 against Additional paid−in capital. This expense is now superseded by the SFAS 123R expense, which will be recorded over the remaining vesting period of the stock options. The expense for the year ended June 30, 2006 was $1,523,406.

Item 13 - Certain Relationships and Related Transactions

Transactions with Mr. Barbera: During the year ended June 30, 2002, the Company advanced $1,000,000 pursuant to a promissory note receivable to Mr. Barbera due and payable to the Company at maturity, October 15, 2006. The note was entered into as an inducement to the continued employment of Mr. Barbera and to provide additional security in the event of a change in control. Accordingly, the note will be forgiven in the event of a change in control. The Company recorded the note receivable at a discount of approximately $57,955 to reflect the incremental borrowing rate of Mr. Barbera and is being amortized as interest income over the term of the note using the straight-line method. The note receivable is collateralized by current and future holdings of MSGI common stock owned by the officer and bears interest at prime. Interest is due and payable yearly on October 15th. The Company recognized interest income of approximately $69,770 for the year ended June 30, 2006. As of June 30, 2006, the interest due on October 15, 2005 of approximately $162,600 is in arrears. During fiscal 2005, $50,000 of compensation due to the officer was used to pay the interest due on the note. Since collectibility of the note receivable is uncertain, the Company has provided for the loss of the note receivable during the year ended June 30, 2006. The collection of this note by its October 15, 2006 due date did not occur. The Board of Directors of the Company subsequently elected to forgive such note receivable and the full amount has been written off.

Introduction

MSGI Security Solutions, Inc. ("MSGI" or the "Company"), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") its Annual Report on Form 10-K for its fiscal year June 30, 2006 (the "2006 Form 10-K"), on October 13, 2006. This initial filing did not include the report of our independent registered public accountants, as they had been unable to complete their audit. MSGI is filing this Amendment on Form 10-K/A to amend its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006 in order to 1.) include the report of our registered independent public accountants after having completed their audits as of June 30, 2006 and 2005 and for the three years ended June 30, 2006 2.) include additional disclosures in Part III of this report, as discussed below and 3) to update the financial statements for certain audit adjustments, as discussed below.

The completion of the audit resulted in two adjustments to our previously reported financial statements. As of June 30, 2006, the Company determined that the investment in Excelsa has a fair value of $1,650,000, resulting in an impairment charge of $2,416,192 (See Note 5 for further details). The second adjustment was an increase in the loss from operations of our former AONet International subsidiary of $330,000 (reported as loss from discontinued operations- AONet) and a corresponding decrease in the loss from disposal of discontinued operations - AONet. This second adjustment had no effect on the net results of discontinued operations or net loss.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 
Board of Directors and Stockholders
MSGI Security Solutions, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of MSGI Security Solutions, Inc. and subsidiaries as of June 30, 2006 and 2005, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended June 30, 2006. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
 
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of MSGI Security Solutions, Inc. and subsidiaries as of June 30, 2006 and 2005, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three fiscal years ended June 30, 2006, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and negative cash flows from operations, and has a significant deficit in working capital, all of which raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

As discussed in Notes 2 and 15 to the consolidated financial statements, effective July 1, 2005, the Company adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123(R), “Share - Based Payment” applying the modified - prospective method.

In connection with our audits of the consolidated financial statements referred to above, we audited the financial schedule listed under Item 15. In our opinion, the financial schedule, when considered in relation to the financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly, in all material respects, the information stated therein.

MSGI SECURITY SOLUTIONS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.
COMPANY OVERVIEW AND LIQUIDITY:
 
Company Overview:
 
MSGI Security Solutions, Inc. (“MSGI” or the “Company”) is a proprietary solutions provider developing a global combination of innovative emerging businesses that leverage information and technology. MSGI is principally focused on the homeland security and surveillance industry. Substantially all of the Company’s business activity is conducted with customers located within the United States and Italy.

On April 10, 2004, the Company acquired 51% of the outstanding shares of common stock of Future Developments America, Inc. (“FDA”). As of July 1, 2005, the Company acquired the remaining 49% of FDA as part of a restructuring of its investment in this technology (see Note 3.) However, as part of this transaction, the intellectual property and technology associates with this business were transferred to the founders. The Company, through its subsidiary FDA, are a non-exclusive licensee in the United States of certain products developed by FDL and of other products developed by outside organizations. The Company is also entitled to receive royalties on certain sales of products to others which are marketed by FDL. FDA markets a broad variety of off-the-shelf and custom surveillance equipment, including antennas, audio “bugs”, body cameras, covert and overt color and black-and-white cameras, night vision fixed surveillance cameras, power supplies, recording devices and related supplies. The firm sells off-the-shelf closed circuit television component (“CCTV”) equipment from a broad range of high quality manufacturers and has chosen not to commit to "exclusivity" with any specific product manufacturer. In this way, although FDA is still able to offer competitive pricing, they are also free to make suggestions to clients who request such information on equipment best suited for their specific application without being limited by exclusivity parameters. FDA also markets a one-of-a-kind Digital Video & Audio Transmitter. The product is a two-component, digital, encrypted, spread spectrum video and audio transmitter receiver set that represents the latest advancement in deploying digital wireless technology for intelligence collection, surveillance and security. The transmitter/receiver has a multitude of applications to many areas of Federal, State and local law enforcement, and to numerous agencies within the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. The Company has not yet sold any FDA products.
 
On August 18, 2004, the Company acquired a 51% interest in Innalogic, LLC. In August 2005, MSGI’s equity ownership stake in Innalogic LLC increased to 76%. Innalogic LLC is a wireless software product development firm that works with clients to custom-design technology products that meet specific user, functional and situational requirements. Innalogic has a recognized core competency in an area of increasingly vital importance to security: delivering rich-media content (video, audio, biometric, sensor data, etc.) to wirelessly enabled mobile devices for public-safety and security applications over wireless or wired networks. Innalogic has the resources and expertise to design and install building-wide wireless networks. The network’s technological foundation is a custom-designed network Command Center utilizing Innalogic’s proprietary SafetyWatch™ software. Innalogic-designed networks integrate with a building’s existing CCTV system and security infrastructure, thus creating a powerful network environment able to accommodate advanced building-wide security applications. Importantly, Innalogic’s wireless video applications help clients make the critical upgrade of CCTV video security systems from analog to digital technology. Innalogic software applications easily integrate with existing systems - camera or rich-media networks - and are specially designed to incorporate or integrate with new or replacement technologies as they come online.

On June 1, 2005, the Company acquired a 51% interest in the equity ownership interests in AONet International S.r.l. (“AONet”), an Italian company. AONet International Srl is focused primarily on providing outsourcing of data services and business continuity, and its offering of several applications that can be run through the data center, including video surveillance, digital data interception and mass distribution communications Specifically, its data center was to serve as the backbone for the delivery of MSGI’s distribution agreement with Verisign for the promotion and provision of its NetDiscovery application for digital interception. It was expected that the first order under this distribution agreement would have commenced during October 2005. However, the distribution agreement has not been finalized and during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2006 the amounts advanced to Verisign during the fiscal year 2006 in pursuit of this license agreement of $500,000 were written off.

59

On March 31, 2006, the Company defaulted on certain payment provisions of the Stock Purchase Agreement of AONet International, S.r.l. which provided that, if the Company failed to pay any of the individual installments within 48 hours of the applicable due date, the Stock Purchase Agreement will be terminated and the Company will be obligated to return all acquired equity ownership interests in AONet to the previous owner, forfeiting any and all payments made to that date. As of April 1, 2006, all equity ownership interests reverted back to the previous owner and, as a result, the AONet subsidiary has been deconsolidated from the financial statements of the Company. As such, the operations and cash flows of AONet have been eliminated from ongoing continuing operations and the Company no longer has continuing involvement in the operations. All amounts have been reclassified into discontinued operations.

On October 19, 2006 the Company entered into a Subscription Agreement with Hyundai Syscomm Corp, a California Corporation, (“Hyundai”) for the sale of 900,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Subscription Agreement, Hyundai agrees to purchase from the Company 900,000 shares of common stock in exchange for the Company’s receipt of $500,000 received in connection with a certain License Agreement, dated September 11, 2006, and receipt of a certain pending Sub-Contracting Agreement. Under the terms and conditions set forth in the Subscription Agreement, Hyundai agrees that the Company shall not be required to issue, or reserve for issuance at any time in accordance with Nasdaq rule 4350(i), in the aggregate, Common Stock equal to more than 19.99% of the Company's common stock outstanding (on a pre-transaction basis). Therefore the Company can issue 865,000 shares of common stock at the initial closing of the transaction, and the remaining 35,000 shares of common stock shall be issued when and if: (a) the holders of a majority of the shares of common stock outstanding vote in favor of Hyundai owning more than 19.99% of the Company’s common stock outstanding; or (b) additional issuances of common stock by the Company permit such issuance in accordance with Nasdaq rule 4350(i).

On October 25, 2006 the Company entered into a Sub -Contracting Agreement with Hyundai. The Sub-Contracting Agreement allows for MSGI and its affiliates to participate in contracts that Hyundai and/or its affiliates now have or may obtain hereafter, where the Company’s products and/or services for encrypted wired or wireless surveillance systems or perimeter security would enhance the value of the contract(s) to Hyundai or its affiliates. The initial term of the Sub-Contracting Agreement is three years, with subsequent automatic one year renewals unless the Sub-Contracting Agreement is terminated by either party under the terms allowed by the Agreement. Further, under the terms of the Sub-Contracting Agreement, the Company will provide certain limited product and software warranties to Hyundai for a period of 12 months after the assembly of the Company’s products and product components by Hyundai or its affiliates with regard to the product and for a period of 12 months after the date of installation of the software by Hyundai or its affiliate with regard to the software. The Company will also provide training, where required, for assembly, maintenance and usage of the equipment and shall charge it’s most favored price for such training services. No title or other ownership of rights in the Company’s Firmware or any copy thereof shall pass to Hyundai or its affiliates under this Agreement. Hyundai and its affiliates agree that it shall not alter and notices on, prepare derivative works based on, or reproduce, disassemble or decompile any Software embodied in the Firmware recorded in the Company’s products.
 
Liquidity:

The Company has limited capital resources and has incurred significant historical losses, negative cash flows from operations and has debt agreements in default, all of which raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company believes that funds on hand combined with funds that will be available from its various operations will not be adequate to finance its operations and capital expenditure requirements and enable the Company to meet its financial obligations for the next twelve months.

The company has engaged the investment banking firm of HC Wainwright to raise additional capital for our operations. On December 13, 2006 the Company pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement between the Company and several institutional investors (the "Investors") issued $2,000,000 aggregate principal amount of callable secured convertible notes (the "Notes") and stock purchase warrants exercisable for 3,000,000 shares of common stock (the "Warrants") in a private placement for an aggregate offering price of $2,000,000. The conversion of the Notes and the exercise of the Warrants are subject to stockholder approval (the "Stockholder Approval"), which the Company is required to use its best efforts to obtain by February 15, 2007. H.C. Wainwright acted as a placement agent for a portion of the offering. The Notes have a maturity date of December 13, 2009 and will accrue interest at a rate of 6% per annum. The Investors can convert the principal amount of the Notes into common stock of the Company, provided certain conditions are met, and each conversion is subject to certain volume limitations. The conversion price of the Notes is 75% of the average of the lowest three closing prices of the Company's common stock for the 20 day period prior to such conversion, with a minimum conversion price of $0.50 per share. The payment obligation under the Notes may accelerate if the resale of the shares of common stock underlying the Notes and Warrants are not registered in accordance with the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement (described herein), payments under the Notes are not made when due or upon the occurrence of other defaults described in the Notes. The Warrants are exercisable once Stockholder Approval is obtained until seven years from the date of issuance. The exercise price of the Warrants is $1.00 per share.The Notes and the Warrant have anti-dilution protections and the Company has agreed to certain registration rights for the resale of the shares of common stock underlying the Notes, pursuant to a registration rights agreement entered into simultaneously with the transaction (the "Registration Rights Agreement"). The Company has also entered into a Security Agreement (the "Security Agreement") and an Intellectual Property Security Agreement (the "Intellectual Property Security Agreement") with the Investors in connection with the closing, which grants security interests in certain assets of the Company and the Company's subsidiaries to the Investors to secure the Company's obligations under the Notes and Warrants. The issuance of the Notes and Warrants constituted a private placement and therefore was exempt from registration in accordance with Regulation D of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. On December 13, 2006, the Company also entered into a letter agreement (the "Letter Agreement") with certain of the Investors to amend notes and warrants previously issued to these Investors by the Company, and to waive certain defaults under the notes and warrants.H.C. Wainwright received a placement fee of $100,000 and 5 year warrants exercisable for 150,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.00 per share.

60

During the first half of fiscal 2007, the Company also received an additional $700,000 in interest bearing advances from a strategic partner (which relationship has not been formalized).

Failure of the operations to generate sufficient future cash flow could have a material adverse effect on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern and to achieve its business objectives. A future funding event may be required in order to meet the obligations for the next twelve months. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability of the carrying amount of recorded assets or the amount of liabilities that might result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

2.
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
 
Principles of Consolidation:

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of MSGI and its majority owned subsidiaries. All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Operations of subsidiaries acquired during the year are recorded from the date of the respective acquisition (see Notes 3 and 4). Operations of any subsidiaries sold, or where control is lost, or where a plan has been instituted to dispose of an operation are presented as discontinued operations (See Note 4) for all periods presented and the results of those operations and financial position of those operations are reclassified into discontinued operations. Investments in unconsolidated subsidiaries where the Company has less than a 20% ownership interest and does not exert significant control and influence are recorded on the cost basis.

Cash and Cash Equivalents:

The Company considers investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
 
Accounts receivable
 
The Company extends credit to its customers in the ordinary course of business. Accounts are reported net of an allowance for uncollectible accounts. Bad debts are provided on the allowance method based on historical experience and management’s evaluation of outstanding accounts receivable. In assessing collectibility the Company considers factors such as historical collections, a customer’s credit worthiness, age of the receivable balance both individually and in the aggregate, and general economic conditions that may affect a customer’s ability to pay. The Company does not require collateral from customers nor are customers required to make up-front payments for goods and services.

Deferred Financing Costs

Deferred financing costs are amortized over the term of its associated debt instrument. If the maturity of the debt is accelerated because of defaults, then the amortization is also accelerated to the default date.

Inventories
 
Inventories consist primarily of various networking equipment purchased as finished goods from third party vendors to be used as part of the Company’s product offerings. Inventory is recorded at the lower of cost or market.
 
61

Property, Plant and Equipment:
 
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation and amortization are computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets. Estimated useful lives are as follows:
 
Furniture and fixtures
3 to 7 years
Computer equipment and software
3 to 5 years
Machinery
6 years
Leasehold improvements
shorter of 6-11 years or life of lease
 
Leasehold improvements are amortized, using the straight-line method, over the shorter of the estimated useful life of the asset or the term of the lease.

The cost of additions and betterments are capitalized, and repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. The cost and related accumulated depreciation and amortization of property and equipment sold or retired are removed from the accounts and resulting gains or losses are recognized in current operations.

Goodwill:

The Company follows Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS"), No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets". Under SFAS 142, the Company does not amortize goodwill and tests its goodwill for potential impairment on an annual basis using a two-step fair value based test.

The first step of the test used to identify potential impairment, compares the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount, including goodwill. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the second step of the goodwill impairment test must be performed to measure the amount of the impairment loss, if any.

As a result of the investment in FDA (which gave rise to goodwill of $490,000), and the subsequent restructuring of our relationship with the founders of FDA on July 1, 2005 (see Note 3), such goodwill was deemed impaired as of June 30, 2005.

Investments in non-consolidated companies:

The Company accounts for its investments in non-consolidated companies under the cost basis method of accounting if the investment is less than 20% of the voting stock of the investee, or under the equity method of accounting if the investment is greater than 20% of the voting stock of the investee. Investments accounted for under the cost method are recorded at their initial cost, and any dividends or distributions received are recorded in income. For equity method investments, the Company records its share of earnings or losses of the investee during the period. Recognition of losses will be discontinued when the Company’s share of losses equals or exceeds its carrying amount of the investee plus any advances made or commitments to provide additional financial support.

An investment in non-consolidated companies is considered impaired if the fair value of the investment is less than its cost on an other than temporary basis. Generally, an impairment is considered other-than-temporary unless (i) the Company has the ability and intent to hold an investment for a reasonable period of time sufficient for an anticipated recovery of fair value up to (or beyond) the cost of the investment; and (ii) evidence indicating that the cost of the investment is recoverable within a reasonable period of time outweighs evidence to the contrary. If impairment is determined to be other-than-temporary, then an impairment loss is recognized equal to the difference between the investment’s cost and its fair value. The Company utilized the principles of SFAS No. 157, issued in September 2006, to determine the estimated fair value of its investment in Excelsa, as described in detail in Note 5. The Company utilized the principles contained under SFAS 157; a weighted average of two “cost approach” metrics (Level 3 Hierarchy as defined in SFAS No. 157) as follows: 1.) a multiple of annualized historical revenues recognized by Excelsa (carrying a 2/3 portion of the weighted calculation) and 2.) the most recently reported book value of Excelsa (carrying a 1/3 portion of the weighted calculation). The Company believes this valuation is most representative of fair value within the range of values produced by these two metrics. If we used a multiple of annualized historical revenues that was 1 times more or less than the factor used in the calculated fair value, fair value would have been greater or lesser by approximately $540,000. In the prior year, the Company believed that the fair value of the investment approximated its cost basis of $4.2 million, since the investment was less than six months old at that time and the Company had no indicators to imply that there was a diminution of value. The resulting impairment expense of $2,416,192 has been recognized as a loss on the investment in Excelsa as of June 30, 2006.

62

Long-Lived Assets:
 
In accordance with SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”, the Company reviews for impairment of long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. In general, the Company will recognize impairment when the sum of undiscounted future cash flows (without interest charges) is less than the carrying amount of such assets. The measurement for such impairment loss is based on the fair value of the asset. Such assets are amortized over their estimated useful life.

The Company recorded an asset impairment of $267,840 in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2005. The Company deemed substantially all assets (see also goodwill impairment above) held by Future Developments America, Inc. (“FDA”) as impaired in connection with the MSGI’s restructuring of our relationship with the founders of FDA on July 1, 2005, based on the analysis of expected future cash flows which was lower than the carrying amount of such assets.

Revenue Recognition:
 
The Company accounts for revenue recognition in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, ("SAB 104"), which provides guidance on the recognition, presentation and disclosure of revenue in financial statements.

Revenues are reported for the operations of the various subsidiaries of MSGI upon the completion of a transaction that meets the following criteria of SAB 104 when (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) delivery of our services has occurred; (3) our price to our customer is fixed or determinable; and (4) collectibility of the sales price is reasonably assured.

FDA currently does not have any revenue transactions. Innalogic recognizes sales of its product upon shipment if the above criteria have been met. During the year ended June 30, 2006, MSGI sold approximately $50,000 of products to Excelsa at normal selling terms.
 
Cost of Revenue:

Innalogic costs of revenue are primarily the expenses related to acquiring the components required to provide the specific technology applications ordered by each individual customer.


Research and Development Costs:

The Company recognizes research and development costs associated with certain product development activities of FDA. All research and development costs are expenses in the period incurred. Such expense was $180,436 and $167,040 for the years ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. There was no such expense in 2006.

Segment Information:

The Company believes it has only one reporting segment from continuing operations, the securities technologies segment. The security technologies product and service line, which includes Innalogic and FDA is a new and emerging business and, as such, has limited revenues to report. The operations of AONet which constituted our data center technologies product and service line is now reported as discontinued operations (see Note 4).

Income Taxes:
 
The Company recognizes deferred taxes for differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities at currently enacted statutory tax rates and laws for the years in which the differences are expected to reverse. The Company uses the liability method of accounting for income taxes, as set forth in SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts and the tax basis of assets and liabilities and net operating loss carry-forwards, all calculated using presently enacted tax rates. The effect on deferred taxes of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amounts expected to be realized.

63

 
Use of Estimates:
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting prin-ciples generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The most significant estimates and assumptions made in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements relate to the carrying amount of long lived assets, deferred tax valuation allowance, valuation of stock options, warrants and debt features, fair value of net assets acquired and the allowance for doubtful accounts. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Foreign Currency Transactions:

Assets and liabilities of our European subsidiary, AONet, whose functional currency is the Euro, are translated at the prevailing rate at the balance sheet date and revenues and expenses are translated at the average exchange rates prevailing during the period. Gains and losses are recognized in other income as incurred. Unrealized gains or losses are reported as accumulated other comprehensive income within shareholders equity.

Concentration of Credit Risk:

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist primarily accounts receivable.

The Company’s services are provided to a variety of customers, generally located in the continental United States. Two customers accounted for 91% of revenues for the year ended June 30, 2006. One customer accounted for 93% of revenues for the year ended June 30, 2005 and 100% of the accounts receivable balance as of June 30, 2005. No single supplier is considered to be critical to the Company’s ongoing business activities.

A significant portion of cash balances is maintained with one financial institution and may, at times, exceed federally insurable amounts. The Company has no financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk of accounting loss.

Earnings (Loss) Per Share:

On January 22, 2003, the Board of Directors approved an eight-for-one reverse split of the common stock. The stock split was effective January 27, 2003 and the number of authorized shares of common stock was reduced to 9,375,000 shares. On February 7, 2005, the Board of Directors approved a two-for-one split of the common stock of the Company. The stock split was effective March 9, 2005. The effect of the above stock splits has been reflected in the balance sheets and in all share and per share data in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and Notes to Financial Statements.

In accordance with SFAS No. 128, “Earnings Per Share,” basic earnings per share is calculated based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted earnings per share gives effect to all potentially dilutive common shares that were outstanding during the reporting period; however such potentially dilutive common shares are excluded from the calculation of earnings (loss) per share if their effect would be anti-dilutive. Stock options and warrants with exercise prices below average market price in the amount of 450,000, 807,695 and 127,500 shares for the years ended June 30, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively, were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share as they are anti-dilutive as a result of net losses during the periods presented. In addition, stock options and warrants with exercise prices above average market price in the amount of 2,448,731, 545,645 and 410,000 shares for the years ended June 30, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share as they are anti-dilutive.Convertible preferred stock in the amount of 4,032 and 9,844 shares for the years ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively, were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share as they are anti-dilutive as a result of net losses during the period presented. There was no applicable convertible preferred stock at June 30, 2004.

64

The Company adopted EITF No. 04-8 “The Effect of Contingently Convertible Instruments on Diluted Earnings per Share” during fiscal 2006. The Company’s 8% Convertible Notes are convertible at the option of the holder into shares of the Company’s Common Stock once the common stock trades above $6.56 per share for a specified period of time (a market price trigger). EITF 04-08 requires companies with contingently convertible debt instruments to include the dilutive effect of the contingently convertible debt in the diluted earnings per share calculations regardless of whether the market price trigger has been met. The adoption of this statement did not have any effect on earnings per share, since the Company had losses during the period and the effect of the conversion of the notes would have an antidilutive effect.
 
Employee Stock-Based Compensation:

The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 123 Revised 2004, "Share−Based Payment" (“SFAS 123R”) effective July 1, 2005. This Statement requires that the cost resulting from all share−based payment transactions are recognized in the financial statements of the Company. That cost will be measured based on the fair market value of the equity or liability instruments issued. Our adoption of SFAS 123R impacted our results of operations by increasing the non cash compensation expense. The amount of the impact to the Company for the year ended June 30, 2006 was approximately $533,000 of additional expense that resulted under SFAS 123R as compared to the expense that would have been recorded under APB 25 (see Note 15).

Summary of Recent Accounting Pronouncements:

In September 2006, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements.” This Statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This Statement applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements, the Board having previously concluded in those accounting pronouncements that fair value is a relevant measurement attribute. Accordingly, this Statement does not require any new fair value measurements. However, for some entities, the application of this Statement will change current practices. This Statement is effective for financial statements for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. Earlier application is permitted provided that the reporting entity has not yet issued financial statements for that fiscal year. The Company is going to adopt the provisions of SFAS No. 157 in the first quarter of fiscal year ended June 30, 2007 and we do not expect any significant impact to our financial statement s upon adoption.

In May 2005, the FASB issued FASB Statement 154, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections - a replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3” (“SFAS 154”). SFAS 154 changes the requirements for the accounting for and reporting of a change in accounting principle. The provisions of SFAS 154 require, unless impracticable, retrospective application to prior periods’ financial statements of (1) all voluntary changes in accounting principles and (2) changes required by a new accounting pronouncement, if a specific transition is not provided. SFAS 154 also requires that a change in depreciation, amortization, or depletion method for long-lived, non-financial assets be accounted for as a change in accounting estimate, which requires prospective application of the new method. SFAS 154 is effective for all accounting changes made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005.
 
In July 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretations No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes,” an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” The Interpretation establishes criteria for recognizing and measuring the financial statement tax effects of positions taken on a company’s tax returns. A two-step process is prescribed whereby the threshold for recognition is a more-likely-than-not test that the tax position will be sustained upon examination and the tax position is measured at the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The Company currently recognizes a tax position if it is probable of being sustained. The Interpretation is effective for the Company beginning July 1, 2007 and will be applicable to all tax positions upon initial adoption. Only tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold at the effective date may continue to be recognized upon adoption of the Interpretation. The Company is evaluating the potential effects the Interpretation may have on its consolidated financial position or results of operations, but no material consequence is expected.

In September 2006, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108, "Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements" ("SAB 108"). SAB 108 provides guidance on how to evaluate prior period financial statement misstatements for purposes of assessing their materiality in the current period. Correcting prior year financial statements for immaterial misstatements would not require amending previously filings; rather such corrections may be made in subsequent filings. The cumulative effect of initially applying SAB 108, if any, can be recorded as an adjustment to opening retained earnings. SAB 108 does not change the SEC staff's previous positions regarding qualitative considerations in assessing the materiality of misstatements. SAB 108 is effective for annual financial statements covering the first fiscal year ending after November 15, 2006, with earlier application encouraged for any interim period of the first fiscal year ending after November 15, 2006, filed after the publication of SAB 108 (September 13, 2006). Management does not currently anticipate any adjustments to opening retained earnings resulting from the application of SAB 108.
 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments:

The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash, notes receivable, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, approximate fair value because of their short maturities. The carrying amount of the Company’s notes payable approximates the fair value of such instruments based upon management’s best estimate of interest rates that would be available to the Company for similar debt obligations at June 30, 2006 and 2005.

Reclassifications:
Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior years’ financial statements to conform to the current year’s presentation.

ACQUISITIONS OF FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS AMERICA, INC. AND INNALOGIC LLC

Future Developments America, Inc.
On April 10, 2004, MSGI Security Solutions, Inc. (the "Company") completed its purchase of 51% of the outstanding shares of the common stock of Future Developments America, Inc. ("FDA"), for an aggregate purchase price of $1.0 million in cash, pursuant to a definitive agreement entered into as of April 10, 2004. FDA was a new company and, as such, had no assets or liabilities at the date of the stock purchase by MSGI Security Solutions, Inc. There were no identifiable intangible assets associated with FDA at the date of the transaction. Of the $1.0 million purchase price, $490,000 was identified and booked as goodwill as of June 30, 2004, to recognize the minority interest owner’s equity in the $1.0 million capital contribution. As a result of FDA having no historical operations and corresponding financial results, there is no relevant unaudited pro forma data. The 51% of the results of FDA were included in the Company’s results from April 10, 2004, and during the fourth quarter of the fiscal year ended June 30, 2005 the Company began to record 100% of the results of FDA (as the minority interest account became fully exhausted).
 
As of July 1, 2005, MSGI acquired the remaining 49% interest in FDA pursuant to a negotiation of the Purchase Agreement with the original founders of FDA. The technology and intellectual property that FDA was developing was transferred to FDL, a company controlled by the original founders of the technology. The goodwill amount of $490,000 was deemed impaired as of June 30, 2005. The Company is a non-exclusive licensee in the United States of certain products developed by the previous founders of FDA’s Company, “FDL”, and of other products developed by outside organizations. The Company is also entitled to receive royalties on certain sales of products to others which are marketed by FDL. The Company has not yet generated any revenue with respect to those products.

Innalogic LLC
On August 18, 2004, the Company completed an acquisition of a 51% membership interest in Innalogic, LLC, for an aggregate capital contribution of $1.0 million in cash, pursuant to definitive agreements entered into as of August 18, 2004. Further, subject to the terms and conditions of an Investment Agreement, the Company issued an aggregate of 50,000 unregistered shares of its common stock to Innalogic. These shares were subsequently distributed to the founding members of Innalogic and were recorded as non-cash compensation in the fair value amount of $235,886 in the year ended June 30, 2005 . The Company also issued 50,000 unregistered shares of common stock to certain advisors as compensation for services rendered in connection with the completion of this transaction with a fair value of $235,886. In May 2005, Innalogic acquired the equity interest of one of the members for $10,000 and as a result MSGI’s membership interest increased to 55.33%.

Innalogic LLC was a new and emerging company and, as such, had no assets or liabilities at the date of acquisition of the membership interest by MSGI. A formal valuation of Innalogic LLC, performed by an independent valuation counselor, identified certain intangible assets associated with Innalogic at the time of the purchase transaction. As a result of Innalogic LLC having no historical operations and corresponding financial results, there is no relevant unaudited pro forma data.

As set forth in Innalogic's Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement, the Company may obtain up to an additional 25% membership interest in Innalogic, if certain pre-tax income targets are not met by certain target dates. On August 31, 2005 MSGI acquired an additional percentage of Innalogic LLC, thereby providing MSGI with a 76% stake in the company. Pursuant to a ratchet provision included in the Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement, dated August 18, 2004 between MSGI and the Innalogic LLC Members, MSGI was entitled to receive an additional stake in the LLC with no additional consideration, effective August 31, 2005, thereby providing MSGI with a 76% stake in the company.

TRANSACTIONS WITH AONET INTERNATIONAL SRL

Acquisition
On June 1, 2005, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement to acquire equity ownership interests in AONet International Srl (“AONet”), a company organized under the laws of the Republic of Italy, representing 51% of all of AONet’s equity ownership interests issued and outstanding as of the date of the Stock Purchase Agreement on a fully diluted basis. The purchase price for the 51% stake was 1,100,000 Euro (of which 350,000 Euro has been paid through June 30,2005 and the remainder is payable in three equal installments of 250,000 Euro due on each of September 30 (paid October 2, 2005) and December 31, 2005 (paid on January 24, 2006) and March 31, 2006 (payment not made and the payment terms defaulted- see “disposition” below). The Stock Purchase Agreement provides that, if the Company fails to pay any of the individual installments within 48 hours of the applicable due date, the Stock Purchase Agreement will be terminated and the Company will be obligated to return all acquired equity ownership interests in AONet to the previous owner, forfeiting any and all payments made to that date. In addition, the remaining minority stakeholder granted to MSGI the option to acquire their interest in AONet for a purchase price equal to the lesser of (a) 2.3 times EBITDA of AONet for the fiscal 2006 year (calculated on a US GAAP basis) or (b) 1,200,000 Euros. If MSGI does not exercise this option, then the current minority investor can acquire a 2% interest in AONet from MSGI for a price to be determined. The acquisition agreement between MSGI and the prior controlling shareholders contained representations and warranty clauses that allow, among other things, for a reduction of the purchase price based upon a referred equity date.

INVESTMENTS

On December 1, 2004, the Company entered into a Subscription Agreement with Excelsa S.p.A. (“Excelsa”), a corporation organized under the laws of the Republic of Italy, to acquire 66,632 shares of common stock of Excelsa, par value of 1.0 Euro per share, representing 4.5% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Excelsa on a fully diluted basis. MSGI acquired the Common Stock for an aggregate purchase price of $1,751,319, including approximately $84,000 of acquisition costs.
 
On January 3, 2005, the Company entered into an additional Subscription Agreement with Excelsa to acquire an additional 135,381 shares of common stock of Excelsa, par value of 1.0 Euro per share, for a purchase price of approximately $2.0 million dollars, representing 8.4% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Excelsa on a fully diluted basis. The shares acquired, in the aggregate with the original shares acquired in December 2004 represent 12.5% of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock of Excelsa on a fully diluted basis.
 
On May 16, 2005, the Company entered into a Restructuring and Subscription Agreement with Excelsa and stockholders of Excelsa (other than MSGI) owning in the aggregate more than 51% of Excelsa’s issued and outstanding common stock, to acquire 262,500 shares of Excelsa common stock for no additional consideration such that MSGI then owned approximately 19.5% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Excelsa, which the parties agreed better reflects the value of Excelsa under US generally accepted accounting principles.

As the Company has less than 20% ownership interest in Excelsa and does not have the ability to exercise significant influence over Excelsa, this aggregate investment is accounted for under the cost method. As of June 30, 2006, as we were given an indication that sales of Excelsa had declined, we evaluated the possibility of impairment to our investment in Excelsa. We determined that the investment in Exclesa currently has a fair value of $1,650,000. We followed the principles contained in SFAS No. 157 “Fair Value Measurements,” which was issued in September 2006, to determine its fair value estimate. The Company did not have a “market approach” based valuation or “income approach” based valuation to make its determination. Therefore the Company utilized the principles contained under SFAS 157; a weighted average of two “cost approach” metrics (Level 3 Hierarchy as defined in SFAS No. 157) as follows: 1.) a multiple of annualized historical revenues recognized by Excelsa (carrying a 2/3 portion of the weighted calculation) and 2.) the most recently reported book value of Excelsa (carrying a 1/3 portion of the weighted calculation). The Company believes this valuation is most representative of fair value within the range of values produced by these two metrics. If we used a multiple of annualized historical revenues that was 1 times more or less than the factor used in the calculated fair value, fair value would have been greater or lesser by approximately $540,000. In the prior year, the Company believed that the fair value of the investment approximated its cost basis of $4.2 million, since the investment was less than six months old at that time and the Company had no indicators to imply that there was a diminution of value. The resulting impairment expense of $2,416,192 has been recognized as a loss on the investment in Excelsa as of June 30, 2006. .

During the year ended June 30, 2006, MSGI sold approximately $50,000 of products to Excelsa at normal selling terms.

NOTES PAYABLE:
 
8% Callable Convertible Note:
On July 12, 2005, MSGI closed a Callable Secured Convertible Note financing of $3 million with a New York based institutional investor. The Company received $2 million in gross proceeds upon closing, and received an additional $500,000 upon filing of the registration statement relating to this financing transaction, and $500,000 upon the effectiveness of the registration statement. The total was received by the Company during the fiscal year 2006. Substantially all of the assets of the Company are pledged as collateral to the note holders.

The Note requires repayment over a three-year term with an 8% interest per annum. Repayment shall be made in cash or in registered shares of common stock, or a combination of both, at the option of the Company, and payment commences 90 days after each closing date and is payable monthly in equal principal installments plus interest over the remaining 33 months.

Pursuant to an amendment dated September 21, 2005 the Company has the option to make the monthly payments in registered shares of common stock only if the stock price exceeds $4.92 over a specified period of time. Further, the Holder has the option to convert all or any part of the outstanding principal to common stock if the average daily price, as defined in the agreement, for the preceding five trading days is greater than the defined Initial Market Price of $6.56. The conversion price is $4.92. The agreement provides that for any monthly period in which the stock price is greater than 125% of the initial market price of $6.56, as defined in the agreement, for the month, the interest rate for that month will be 0%. The Company granted registration rights to the investors for the resale of the shares of common stock underlying the notes and certain warrants that were issued in the transaction.

The Note agreement provides the Company with the option to call the loan and prepay the remaining balance due. If the loan is called early, the Company will be required to pay 125% of the outstanding principal and interest as long as the common stock of the Company is at $6.00 or less. If the stock is higher than $6.00 when the Company exercises the call option, then the amount owed is based upon a calculation, as defined in the agreement, using the average daily price. If in any month a default occurs, the note shall become immediately due and payable at 130% of the outstanding principal and interest.

The Company also issued five−year warrants to the investors for the purchase of up to 75,000 shares of the Company's common stock, $0.01 par value, at an exercise price of $7.50 per share, which are exercisable at any time. The placement agent received three−year warrants for the purchase of 12,195 shares of the Company's common stock, at an exercise price of $7.50 per share exercisable between the period January 12, 2006 and January 11, 2009. The agent warrants were valued at $57,054 using the Black−Scholes option pricing model and recorded as part of the financing costs. In addition, the agent received a fee equal to 7% of the aggregate offering, in an amount of $210,000, which was recorded as part of the financing costs.

Total financing cost recorded in connection with the Notes was $357,304. The Company recorded a discount to the note payable of $1,471,169, of which $404,792 represented the discount allocated to the warrants and $1,066,377 represented the beneficial conversion feature of the note. The fair value of the warrants was determined using a Black−Scholes option pricing model. The discount on the note was allocated from the gross proceeds and recorded as additional paid−in capital.

In January 2006, this Agreement was further amended with a Letter Agreement in conjunction with additional short-tem notes the Company entered into with the same investors (see below), by which the investors agreed to waive certain requirements under the 2005 Notes, as amended, thus allowing the Company to issue shares of common stock to the investors in order to satisfy the Company’s payment obligations under the terms of the Callable Secured Convertible Notes for the months of January, February and March 2006 by issuing 22,000 shares of the Company’s common stock per month, due on the last day of each month. The Letter Agreement also allows for the issuance of 9,000 shares of the Company’s common stock as a partial payment against the obligation due for the Callable Secured Convertible Notes for the month of April 2006. As of June 30, 2006, the Company issued 75,000 shares of its common stock per the terms of the Letter Agreement. Through a combination of cash payments ($211,253) and issuance of shares of common stock, the principal balance of the $3.0 million of the notes was reduced to $2,574,597 as of June 30, 2006. Also, in January 2006, the Chief Executive Officer entered into a guarantee and pledge agreement with the note holders, whereby, the common stock of MSGI owned by the Chief Executive Officer (approximately 190,000 shares) was pledged as additional collateral for the notes.

70

On June 7, 2006 the Company entered into a waiver and amendment agreement which modified certain payment due date of the notes to provide for a payment of $395,450 due July 14, 2006 for debt service due from April 2006 through July 2006. Such payment was not made on July 14, 2006. In consideration for the waiver agreement, the Company issued 800,000 warrants to the note holders. Such warrants were ascribed a fair value, as computed under the Black-Scholes model, of $2,224,808 which was recognized as additional interest expense in June 2006. Because of the default of the terms of the notes, the amortization of the deferred financing costs, beneficial conversion costs and interest discount were accelerated to be fully recognized by June 30, 2006. As of July 14, 2006, the Company was in technical default of the payment terms of the Callable 8% Secured Convertible Notes. On December 13, 2006 the Company finalized negotiations with the lenders and, pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement between the Company and the investors, issued $2,000,000 aggregate principal amount of callable secured convertible notes (the "Notes") and stock purchase warrants exercisable for 3,000,000 shares of common stock (the "Warrants") in a private placement for an aggregate offering price of $2,000,000. The conversion of the Notes and the exercise of the Warrants are subject to stockholder approval (the "Stockholder Approval"), which the Company is required to use its best efforts to obtain by February 15, 2007. H.C. Wainwright acted as a placement agent for a portion of the offering. The Notes have a maturity date of December 13, 2009 and will accrue interest at a rate of 6% per annum. The Investors can convert the principal amount of the Notes into common stock of the Company, provided certain conditions are met, and each conversion is subject to certain volume limitations. The conversion price of the Notes is 75% of the average of the lowest three closing prices of the Company's common stock for the 20 day period prior to such conversion, with a minimum conversion price of $0.50 per share. The payment obligation under the Notes may accelerate if the resale of the shares of common stock underlying the Notes and Warrants are not registered in accordance with the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement (described herein), payments under the Notes are not made when due or upon the occurrence of other defaults described in the Notes. The Warrants are exercisable once Stockholder Approval is obtained until seven years from the date of issuance. The exercise price of the Warrants is $1.00 per share. The Notes and the Warrant have anti-dilution protections and the Company has agreed to certain registration rights for the resale of the shares of common stock underlying the Notes, pursuant to a registration rights agreement entered into simultaneously with the transaction (the "Registration Rights Agreement"). The Company has also entered into a Security Agreement (the "Security Agreement") and an Intellectual Property Security Agreement (the "Intellectual Property Security Agreement") with the Investors in connection with the closing, which grants security interests in certain assets of the Company and the Company's subsidiaries to the Investors to secure the Company's obligations under the Notes and Warrants. The issuance of the Notes and Warrants constituted a private placement and therefore was exempt from registration in accordance with Regulation D of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. On December 13, 2006, the Company also entered into a letter agreement (the "Letter Agreement") with certain of the Investors to amend notes and warrants previously issued to these Investors by the Company, and to waive certain defaults under the notes and warrants. H.C. Wainwright received a placement fee of $100,000 and 5 year warrants exercisable for 150,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.00 per share.

December 2005 Note Payable
During December 2005, the Company entered into a short-term note with a related party in the amount of $250,000. This loan bears interest at a rate of 10% through June 30, 2006 and has an annual imputed interest rate of 18.25%. The entire principal, as well as interest of $25,000, will be paid in full upon completion of a contemplated future funding event. Further, the full amount of interest will be paid to the lender regardless of any possible early payment of principal. The total interest due under this note has been fully accrued as of June 30, 2006. This note has not yet been paid.

January 2006 Note Payable
During January 2006, the Company entered into a short-term note in the amount of $300,000. This loan bore interest at a rate of 12%. The annual interest amount of $36,000 was due in full even if early payment of principal. The entire principal and interest of $336,000 was paid in full on January 24, 2006.

On January 19, 2006, the Company entered into four short-term notes with the same lenders that also hold the 8% Callable Convertible Notes. The new promissory notes provided proceeds totaling $500,000 to the Company. The notes were due and payable on April 19, 2006 in the aggregate total of $600,000, including imputed interest of $100,000 at an annual interest rate of 80%. In the event of any defined event of default declared by the lenders by written notice to the Company, the notes shall become immediately due and payable and the Company shall incur a penalty of an additional 15% of the amounts due and payable under the notes.

71

In connection with the waiver and amendment executed for the 8% Callable Convertible notes above, the same agreement also waived and amended the maturity date of these short-term notes to a new maturity date of July 14, 2006. As of July 14, 2006, the Company is in technical default of the payment terms of the Callable 8% Secured Convertible Notes and the Company is attempting to negotiate revised terms. On December 13, 2006, the Company also entered into a letter agreement (the "Letter Agreement") with certain of the Investors to amend notes and warrants previously issued to these Investors by the Company, and to waive certain defaults under the notes and warrants.

vFinance note payable
During the months of February and March 2006, the Company entered into a series of promissory notes with various private lenders. The notes closed in a series of four transactions over the period of February 17, 2006 to March 23, 2006. Gross proceeds in the amount of $799,585 were obtained and the notes carry an aggregate repayment total of $975,103 (which includes imputed interest of $175,518 or 21.95%) which is due and payable upon maturity. The notes carry a maturity date of February 28, 2007.

In addition, warrants for the purchase of up to 585,062 shares of the Company’s common stock were issued to the individual lenders. The warrants carry an original exercise price of $6.50 and a term of 5 years. The warrants may be exercised 65 days after the date of issuance. The warrant agreement contains a reprice provision that provides for a change in the exercise price if the Company issues more favorable terms to another party, as defined in the agreement. Due to the 800,000 warrants issued in connection with the 8% Callable Convertible Notes above at an exercise price of $4.50, the exercise price of the warrants issued with the vFinance note payable were modified to $4.50.

The vFinance Agreement also contains a registration rights agreement for the warrants which contains penalty clauses if the underlying warrant shares are not registered per terms of the agreement. The agreement calls for a Registration Filing Date within 180 days from closing date and a Registration Effective Date within 90 days from the Registration Filing Date. The agreement provides for a cash penalty of approximately 1.5% of the value of the notes for each thirty day period that is exceeded. The Company has recorded a liability of $63,400 at June 30, 2006 to provide for the expected delay in issuing this registration statement.
 
Placement fees in the amount of $73,133 were paid to vFinance Investments, Inc. as placement agent. In addition to the placement fees, warrants for the purchase of up to 73,134 shares of the Company’s common stock were issued to the placement agent and its designees. The agent warrants carry an exercise price of $6.50, a term of 5 years and may be exercised 65 days after the date of issuance. The agent warrants were valued at $176,114 using the Black−Scholes option pricing model and recorded as part of the financing costs. In addition, a third party received a fee equal to 5% of the aggregate offering, in an amount of $40,000, which was recorded as part of the financing costs.

Total financing cost recorded in connection with the Notes was $315,337, which is included in other assets on the balance sheet, and is being amortized over the term of the Notes. The Company recorded a discount to the note payable of $612,240 which represented the discount allocated to the warrants. The fair value of the warrants was determined using a Black−Scholes option pricing model. The discount on the note was allocated from the gross proceeds and recorded as additional paid−in capital. The discount is being amortized to interest expense over the one−year term of the note. Interest expense for the year ended June 30, 2006 in connection with this note discount was approximately $229,590. Should the notes be paid prior to the payment terms, the amortization of the discount will be accelerated.

Advance from Strategic partner
During the month of June 2006, the Company received funding, in the amount of $300,000 from a certain New York based homeland security firm as an advance in contemplation of a further strategic transaction between the two parties. From July 1, 2006 through October 13, 2006, the Company received an additional $700,000 in such advances. The strategic partner also paid certain vendors on our behalf. There can be no assurances that the strategic transactions can or will be completed. The advances plus interest are immediately repayable if the contemplated transaction does not close. The advances bear interest at a rate of 8% and interest expense was $1,381 for the year ended June 30, 2006.

DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS - OTHER OPERATIONS

In March 2004, the Company completed the sale of substantially all of the assets relating to its telemarketing and teleservices business held by its wholly owned subsidiary, MKTG Teleservices, Inc., ("MKTG Teleservices") to SD&A Teleservices, Inc. ("SDA"), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Robert W. Woodruff Arts Center, Inc. for approximately $2.5 million in cash and a note receivable for $0.3 million plus the assumption of certain directly related liabilities. As such, the operations and cash flows of MKTG Teleservices have been eliminated from ongoing operations and the Company no longer has continuing involvement in the operations. In connection with the sale of MKTG Teleservices, the Company recognized a loss on disposal of discontinued operations of approximately $1.0 million in the year ended June 30, 2004. The loss represents the difference in the net book value of assets and liabilities as of the date of the sale as compared to the net consideration received after settlement of purchase price adjustments plus any additional expenses incurred, and a tax impact of approximately $35,000.

72

On March 31, 2004, the Company received a Holdback Promissory Note (the “Note) from SD&A Teleservices, Inc. as called for in the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement, dated March 31, 2004, for the sale of the MKTG Teleservices, Inc. operations (see Note 5). This note was in the principle amount of $300,000, together with accrued interest at the rate of two percent (2%) per annum. An early payment of the principle balance, in the amount of $225,000 was negotiated and settled during May 2005, and the remaining $75,000 related to set-off costs and discount on early redemption was reported in loss from discontinued operations.

In September 2000, the Company offered to exchange the preferred shares of its subsidiary WiredEmpire for MSGI common shares. As of June 30, 2003, 48,000 shares of WiredEmpire preferred stock had not been exchanged. These shares were returned as part of a legal settlement reached during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2004 and, as a result, a gain on the redemption of preferred stock was recorded in the amount of $280,946.

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS:
 
On December 31, 2001, the Company advanced $1,000,000 pursuant to a promissory note receivable agreement with an officer due and payable to the Company at maturity, October 15, 2006. The Company recorded the note receivable at a discount of approximately $57,955 to reflect the incremental borrowing rate of the officer and is being amortized as interest income over the term of the note using the straight-line method. The note receivable is collateralized by current and future holdings of MSGI common stock owned by the officer and bears interest at prime. Interest is due and payable yearly on October 15th. The Company recognized interest income of $69,770, $69,674 and $69,704 for the years ended June 30, 2006, 2005 and 2003. As of June 30, 2006, the interest due through October 15, 2005 of approximately $162,600 is in arrears. During fiscal 2005, $50,000 of compensation due to the officer was used to pay the interest due on the note. Since collectibility of the note receivable is uncertain, the Company has provided for the loss of the note receivable during the year ended June 30, 2006. The collection of this note by its October 15, 2006 due date did not occur. The Board of Directors of the Company subsequently elected to forgive such note receivable and the full amount has been written off.

During June 2004, an officer provided $500,000 of working capital to the Company under a short−term arrangement. The funds were repaid to the officer during July 2004. In July 2005, the officer provided $100,000 of working capital to the Company that was repaid within that same month. At June 30, 2006 and 2005, approximately $216,000 and $124,000 is due to the officer for compensation deferred, respectively.

74

During December 2005, the Company entered into a short-term note with a related party in the amount of $250,000. This loan bears interest at a rate of 10% through June 30, 2006 and has an annual imputed interest rate of 18.25%. The entire principal, as well as interest of $25,000, will be paid in full upon completion of a contemplated future funding event. Further, the full amount of interest will be paid to the lender regardless of any possible early payment of principal. The total interest due under this note has been fully accrued as of June 30, 2006.

14.
PREFERRED STOCK:
 
In November 2004, the Company entered into a private placement agreement with certain strategic investors in which the Company sold an aggregate of 9,376 shares of Series F Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $.01 ("Series F Preferred Stock") and warrants to acquire 230,797 shares of common stock for gross proceeds of $3 million. The preferred stock is convertible into shares of common stock, at any time at the option of the holder, at a conversion rate of $6.50. Further, registration rights of the holders of Series F Preferred Stock called for a registration statement to be filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission, covering the resale of the shares of the Company's common stock underlying the Series F Preferred Shares (the "Reserved Shares"), within 180 days of the initial closing date, November 10, 2004. In the event that the Company did not file such registration statement within 180 days, the Company would have to issue to the holders additional shares of Series F Preferred Shares equal to 5% of the number of Reserved Shares issued in the private placement, for each 30 day period, following the 180 day period, during which such registration statement has not been filed. The registration statement was not filed within the initial 180 day period, but was filed within the next 30 day period. Therefore, the Company issued an additional 468.8 Series F Preferred Stock, which is convertible into approximately 23,079 shares of common stock. The holders of Series F Preferred Stock are entitled to receive cumulative dividends at the rate of six percent (6%) payable in additional shares of common stock of the Company, based on the average closing price per share of the Company's common stock for the ten (10) consecutive trading days prior to the payment of any dividend. As of June 30, 2006, the Company had $293,964 of undeclared but accumulated dividends. There are no reset provisions or anti−dilution provisions associated with the Series F Convertible Preferred Stock. In the event of liquidation, holders of this stock are entitled to receive the stated value plus the amount of any accrued and unpaid dividends at that date. Preferred stockholders are entitled to common stockholder voting rights in an amount equal to the common stock equivalent of the preferred shares as if converted. The warrants issued to the Series F investors are exercisable for a period of five years at an exercise price of $8.125 per share. Placement fees and expenses associated with the issuance of the Series F Preferred Stock were approximately $253,200. In addition, the Company issued warrants to placement agents to acquire 27,695 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $6.50, exercisable for a period of five years.

75

As of June 30, 2006 approximately 5,813 shares of Series F Convertible Preferred Stock have been converted into approximately 286,189 shares of the Company’s common stock, at the election of certain holders of the Series F Convertible Preferred Stock. These shares of the Company’s common stock have been issued and are outstanding as of the year ended June 30, 2006. During the six months ended December 31, 2006, all 4,031 remaining shares of Series F Convertible Preferred Stock have been converted into 198,470 shares common stock, and there are no further shares of Series F Convertible Preferred Stock remaining.

On December 5, 2006 the Company announced that it intends to issue a new Preferred Class of stock, Series G, in exchange for $3 million in liabilities. The entire staff of the company will participate in the program by exchanging all unpaid compensation for equity, as will several major creditors and suppliers. The Preferred Series G will convert to common shares upon shareholders' consent. As of the date of this filing, the Board of Directors of the Company has unanimously approved the designation of the Series G Preferred Stock and such Designation has been filed with the State of Nevada. No shares of the new Series G have been issued as this date.
 
15.
COMMON STOCK, STOCK OPTIONS, AND WARRANTS:
 
Common Stock Transactions: 

During January 2006 through April 2006, 75,000 shares of common stock were issued to the holders of the 8% Callable Convertible Note for payment of debt service.

During April 2006 through June 2006, approximately 5,813 shares of Series F Convertible Preferred Stock have been converted into approximately 286,189 shares of the Company’s common stock, at the election of certain holders of the Series F Convertible Preferred Stock. During June 2005, the Company issued 100,000 shares of common stock to a certain placement agent in connection with the acquisition of AONet International Srl. The fair market value of these shares, at the time of issuance, is approximately $774,000.
 
During December 2004, the Company entered into a private placement offering to certain strategic investors for the sale of 419,354 shares of the Company’s Common Stock at $7.75 per share generating gross proceeds of approximately $3.25 million. In connection with the offering, the Company issued warrants to purchase 209,686 shares of common stock at an exercise price per share of $8.25 exercisable for a five-year period. The investors have “piggyback” registration rights with respect to the shares of common stock and common stock issuable upon the exercise of the warrants. Placement fees and expenses associated with this offering were approximately $215,700. In addition, the Company issued warrants to placement agents to acquire 25,162 shares of common stock at an exercise price per share equal to $7.75 exercisable for a period of five years.

In August 2004, the Company issued 50,000 shares of common stock in connection with our acquisition of Innalogic LLC, as well as 50,000 shares of common stock to certain advisors as compensation expense for services in connection with this transaction (See Note 3).

In May 2004, the Company commenced a private placement offering (the “stock agreement”) to sell 500,000 shares of its common stock at a price of $4.00 per share. As of June 30, 2004, the Company had sold 450,000 shares. As of June 30, 2004, the Company had received gross proceeds of $1.2 million and the Company received $600,000 in July 2004. Costs of $60,000 incurred relating to the placement have been offset against the proceeds and are reflected as a direct reduction of equity. The remaining 50,000 shares offered were sold in July 2004 for gross proceeds of $200,000. Subject to the terms of the Stock Agreement entered into in May 2004, the Company committed to issue warrants for the purchase of up to 300,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at a price of $6.00 per share under a three-year term. As of June 30, 2005, the Company has issued warrants for the purchase of 300,000 shares of common stock.

76

In April 2004, the Company issued 407,790 shares of its common stock to General Electric Capital Corporation (“GECC”) pursuant to the exercise of a warrant to purchase common stock of MSGI (the “Warrant”) issued to GECC in December 1997. The Warrant originally authorized a purchase of 10,670,000 shares of common stock. The number of shares of common stock subject to the original Warrant were adjusted from 10,670,000 to 444,584 in order to reflect the effect of two reverse stock splits and one forward split. GECC elected to exercise the purchase under the terms of a cashless transaction as in accordance with Section 2 of the Warrant resulting in the net issuance of 407,790 shares. 

Stock Options: 

The Company maintains a qualified stock option plan (the “1999 Plan”) for the issuance of up to 1,125,120 shares of common stock under qualified and non-qualified stock options. The plan is administered by the compensation committee of the Board of Directors which has the authority to determine which officers and key employees of the Company will be granted options, the option price and vesting of the options. In no event shall an option expire more than ten years after the date of grant.

As of June 30, 2004, the Board of Directors had agreed to issue 322,500 options beyond the number available in the 1999 plan, subject to approval of an increase to the plan by a future vote of shareholders. The Company approved 342,500 options to purchase shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.50 and 20,000 options to purchase shares of common stock at an exercise price of $4.125. An annual meeting of shareholders of MSGI was held on February 7, 2005 where a proposal by the Company’s Board of Directors to increase the number options available under the 1999 plan by 1,000,000 was approved by a vote of the shareholders. Upon shareholder approval, the 362,500 stock options were granted on February 7, 2005, at which the market price of the stock was $9.48. Due to the difference in market and exercise price, the Company recorded a deferred compensation expense at the date of grant of approximately $2.8 million. For the period ended June 30, 2005, the Company realized non-cash employee compensation expense related to the stock options granted of approximately $1.5 million.
 
Effective July 1, 2005, the Company has adopted SFAS 123R, “Share−Based Payment.” SFAS 123R replaces SFAS 123 “Accounting for Stock−Based Compensation” and supersedes Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 (“APB 25”), “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.” SFAS123R requires all share−based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the financial statement based on their fair values. Under SFAS 123R, the pro forma disclosures previously permitted under SFAS 123 are no longer an alternative to financial statement recognition.

The Company has selected the Black−Scholes method of valuation for share−based compensation and has adopted the modified prospective transition method under SFAS 123R, which requires that compensation cost be recorded, as earned, for all unvested stock options outstanding at the beginning of the first quarter of adoption of SFAS 123R. As permitted by SFAS 123R, prior periods have not been restated. The charge is being recognized in non cash compensation on a straight−line basis over the remaining service period after the adoption date based on the options’ original estimate of fair value. The Company did not record a tax benefit related to the share−based compensation expense since the Company has a full valuation allowance against deferred tax assets.

Prior to the adoption of SFAS 123R, the Company applied the intrinsic−value−based method of accounting prescribed by APB 25 and related interpretations, to account for its fixed−plan stock options to employees. Under this method, compensation cost was recorded only if the market price of the underlying stock on the date of grant exceeded the exercise price. As permitted by SFAS 123, the Company elected to continue to apply the intrinsic−value−based method of accounting described above, and adopted only the disclosure requirements of SFAS 123. The fair−value−based method used to determine historical pro forma amounts under SFAS 123 was similar in most respects to the method used to determine stock−based compensation expense under SFAS 123R. However, in its pro forma disclosures, the Company accounted for option forfeitures as they occurred, rather than based on estimates of future forfeitures.

77

In connection with the adoption and provisions of SFAS 123R, the Company reversed the deferred compensation balance of $1,301,974, resulting from the application of the intrinsic value method of accounting for stock options, at July 1, 2005 against Additional paid−in capital. This expense is now superseded by the SFAS 123R expense, which will be recorded over the remaining vesting period of the stock options.

The Company has elected to apply the short-cut method to determine the hypothetical APIC pool provided by FSP FAS 123R-3, “Transition Election Related to Accounting for the Tax Effects of Share-Based Payment Awards.” In future periods, excess tax benefits resulting from stock option exercises will be recognized as additions to APIC in the period the benefit is realized. In the event of a shortfall (i.e., the tax benefit realized is less than the amount previously recognized through periodic stock compensation expense recognition and related deferred tax accounting), the shortfall would be charged against APIC to the extent of previous excess benefits, including the hypothetical APIC pool, and then to tax expense.

The stock based compensation expense for the year ended June 30, 2006 was $1,523,406. The following table illustrates the pro forma effect on the Company’s net loss and net loss per share as if the Company had adopted the fair−value−based method of accounting for stock−based compensation under SFAS 123 for the years ended June 30, 2005 and 2004:

The difference between the Company’s U.S. federal statutory rate of 35%, as well as its state and local rate net of federal benefit of 5%, when compared to the effective rate is principally the result of no current domestic income tax as a result of net operating losses and the recording of a full valuation allowance against resultant deferred tax assets. The recorded income tax expense reflects domestic state income taxes.

The Company has a U.S. federal net operating loss carry forward of approximately $253,000,000 available, which expires from 2011 through 2023. These loss carry forwards are subject to annual limitations under Internal Revenue Code Section 382 and some loss carry forwards are subject to SRLY limitations. The Company has recognized a full valuation allowance against deferred tax assets because it is more likely than not that sufficient taxable income will not be generated during the carry forward period available under the tax law to utilize the deferred tax assets. Of these net operating loss carry forwards approximately $61,000,000 is the result of deductions related to the exercise of non-qualified stock options. The realization of these net operating loss carry forwards would result in a credit to equity.

The Company has reviewed its deferred tax assets and has determined that the entire amount of its deferred tax assets should be reserved as the assets are not considered to be more likely than not recoverable in the future.
 
17.
ABANDONED LEASES OBLIGATION

In December 2002, the Company terminated a lease for abandoned property. The lease termination agreement required an up front payment of $.3 million and the Company is obligated to pay approximately $60,000 per month until the landlord has completed certain leasehold improvements for a new tenant, which was completed as of July 2003, and then the Company is obligated to pay $20,000 per month until August 2010. The Company was released from all other obligations under the lease. The remaining obligation has been recorded current liabilities. 

18.

The Company sponsors a tax deferred retirement savings plan (“401(k) plan”) which permits eligible employees to contribute varying percentages of their compensation up to the annual limit allowed by the Internal Revenue Service.

81

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS:
 
During the month of June 2006, the company received funding, in the amount of $300,000 from a certain New York based homeland security firm as a working capital injection in contemplation of a further strategic transaction between the two parties. This firm is also in the security technology business and it is thought that the combined technologies and services would yield a stronger competitive offering to potential customers in the homeland security industry. From July 1, 2006 through October 13, 2006, the Company received an additional $700,000 from such firm for additional working capital requirements. The strategic partner also paid certain vendors on our behalf. While the negotiations between the two firms are ongoing, there can be no assurance that the strategic transaction can or will be completed. These amounts are currently recorded on the balance sheet as an interest bearing loan.

On December 13, 2006 the Company pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement between the Company and several institutional investors (the "Investors") issued $2,000,000 aggregate principal amount of callable secured convertible notes (the "Notes") and stock purchase warrants exercisable for 3,000,000 shares of common stock (the "Warrants") in a private placement for an aggregate offering price of $2,000,000. The conversion of the Notes and the exercise of the Warrants are subject to stockholder approval (the "Stockholder Approval"), which the Company is required to use its best efforts to obtain by February 15, 2007. H.C. Wainwright acted as a placement agent for a portion of the offering. The Notes have a maturity date of December 13, 2009 and will accrue interest at a rate of 6% per annum. The Investors can convert the principal amount of the Notes into common stock of the Company, provided certain conditions are met, and each conversion is subject to certain volume limitations. The conversion price of the Notes is 75% of the average of the lowest three closing prices of the Company's common stock for the 20 day period prior to such conversion, with a minimum conversion price of $0.50 per share. The payment obligation under the Notes may accelerate if the resale of the shares of common stock underlying the Notes and Warrants are not registered in accordance with the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement (described herein), payments under the Notes are not made when due or upon the occurrence of other defaults described in the Notes. The Warrants are exercisable once Stockholder Approval is obtained until seven years from the date of issuance. The exercise price of the Warrants is $1.00 per share. The Notes and the Warrant have anti-dilution protections and the Company has agreed to certain registration rights for the resale of the shares of common stock underlying the Notes, pursuant to a registration rights agreement entered into simultaneously with the transaction (the "Registration Rights Agreement"). The Company has also entered into a Security Agreement (the "Security Agreement") and an Intellectual Property Security Agreement (the "Intellectual Property Security Agreement") with the Investors in connection with the closing, which grants security interests in certain assets of the Company and the Company's subsidiaries to the Investors to secure the Company's obligations under the Notes and Warrants. The issuance of the Notes and Warrants constituted a private placement and therefore was exempt from registration in accordance with Regulation D of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. On December 13, 2006, the Company also entered into a letter agreement (the "Letter Agreement") with certain of the Investors to amend notes and warrants previously issued to these Investors by the Company, and to waive certain defaults under the notes and warrants. H.C. Wainwright received a placement fee of $100,000 and 5 year warrants exercisable for 150,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.00 per share.
