MSGI SECURITY SOLUTIONS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of MSGI Security Solutions, Inc. and its Subsidiaries, Future Developments America, Inc (“FDA”) and Innalogic, LLC (“Innalogic”) (in combination "MSGI" or the “Company”). These condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and should be read in conjunction with the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB, as amended, for its fiscal year ended June 30, 2007 and the historical consolidated financial statements and related notes included therein. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring accruals, necessary to present fairly the condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company. Certain information and footnote disclosure normally included in financial statements prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and regulations. Operating results for the three-month period ended September 30, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2008.

Liquidity and Capital Resources:
Historically, the Company has funded its operations, capital expenditures and acquisitions primarily through private placements of equity and debt transactions. At September 30, 2007, the Company had approximately $1.0 million in cash as well as approximately $3.9 million in accounts receivable. The Company believes that existing financing and expected earnings may not meet its current working capital and debt service requirements for the next twelve months. It should be noted that there is uncertainty as to timing, volume and profitability of transactions that may arise from our relationship with Hyundai  Syscomm Corp. (“Hyundai”) and Apro Media Corp. (“Apro”) (See Notes 8 and 9). These issues raise substantial doubt about our 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.

During the three months ended September 30, 2007, the Company completed its first customer orders sourced from the Apro sub-contract (see Note 9). MSGI expects to continue to fulfill client requests throughout the remaining quarters of the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008. The Company has secured a new production and customer service facility in Manhattan to facilitate these operations.

During the months of July and August 2007, the Company executed certain conversions of debt to equity under the provisions of a series of 8% Callable Convertible Notes issued by the Company during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006. The Company effectively reduced certain debt obligations by approximately $810,000 by issuing an aggregate total of 1,257,532 shares of its common stock.
 
Subsequent Event Transactions:
On October 3, 2007, the remaining Callable Secured Convertible 8% Notes originally issued during fiscal year ended June 30, 2006 and a portion of the Callable Secured 6% Notes originally issued on December 13, 2006 were purchased by certain third-party institutional investors, from the original note holders. The Company did not receive any cash as a result of these transactions and was not a party to the transaction. These institutional investors also submitted notification to the Company on October 3, 2007 that they intended to fully convert the Notes into shares of the Company’s common stock. The Notes were fully converted during October and early November. The conversions had the effect of eliminating approximately $3.95 million of note payable debt, on a fully accreted basis, and accrued interest from the Company’s balance sheet. The exercise resulted in the issuance of 6,700,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, bringing the total shares outstanding to approximately 18,265,000 on that date.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The accounting policies of the Company are contained in the June 30, 2007 Form 10-KSB/A. The following are the more significant 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. The Company has one reporting segment.

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts:
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. There was no allowance for uncollectible accounts deemed necessary as of September 30, 2007.

Deferred Financing and Other Debt-Related Costs:
Deferred financing costs are amortized over the term of its associated debt instrument. The Company evaluates the terms of the debt instruments to determine if any embedded derivatives or beneficial conversion features exist. The Company allocates the aggregate proceeds of the notes payable between the warrants and the notes based on their relative fair values in accordance with Accounting Principle Board No. 14 (“APB 14”), “Accounting for Convertible Debt and Debt Issued with Stock Purchase Warrants”. The fair value of the warrants issued to note holders or placement agents are calculated utilizing the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The Company is amortizing the resultant discount or other features over the terms of the notes through its earliest maturity date. If the maturity of the debt is accelerated because of defaults or conversions, then the amortization is accelerated. The Company’s debt instruments do not contain any embedded derivatives at September 30, 2007.

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 upon the completion of a transaction that meets the following criteria (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.

For contracts that consists of product and related installation, revenue is recognized on a progress-to-completion method, in accordance with SOP 97-2. Billings in advance of the completion of the work being delivered is recorded as deferred revenue. Revenue for maintenance contracts are deferred and recognized over the term of the maintenance period.

The Company recognizes sales of its product upon shipment if the above criteria have been met. During the period ended September 30, 2007, the Company recognized approximately $3.8 million of product revenue in connection with our contract from Apro (see Note 9) as well as the Company received $100,000 from CODA Octopus Group, Inc. (“Coda”) for licensing royalty fees.

8

Cost of Goods Sold:
Costs of goods sold are primarily the expenses related to acquiring, testing and assembling the components required to provide the specific technology applications ordered by each individual customer.

Income Taxes:
The Company recognizes deferred taxes for the difference 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.

On July 1, 2007, the Company adopted the provisions of Financial Standards Accounting Board Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an interpretation of SFAS 109” (FIN 48). FIN 48 provides recognition criteria and a related measurement model for uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in income tax returns. FIN 48 requires that a position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return be recognized in the financial statements when it is more likely than not that the position would be sustained upon examination by tax authorities. Tax positions that meet the more likely than not threshold are then measured using a probability weighted approach recognizing the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The adoption did not have an effect on the consolidated financial statements and there is no liability related to unrecognized tax benefits at September 30, 2007.
 
Use of Estimates:
The preparation of financial statements in conformity 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. 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, warrant and debt features and the allowance for doubtful accounts. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Concentration of Credit Risk:
The Company’s services are currently provided to a variety of customers, primarily located in the continental United States. Product revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2007, as well as accounts receivable, consisted of four customers, one of which accounted for 52% of product revenues. In addition, all of the product revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2007 were the result of our Sub-contract agreement with Apro. 

Earnings (Loss) Per Share:
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 above average market price in the amount of 10,381,586 and 2,888,731 shares for the three months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share as they are anti-dilutive. Convertible preferred stock in the amount of 1,686 preferred shares convertible into 83,050 common shares for the three months ended September 30, 2006 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. These amounts do not include any securities issuable under the Hyundai and Apro agreements, as such amounts are considered “contingently issuable”, and do not include any securities under the convertible debt as the impact would be anti-dilutive.

8% Notes
On July 12, 2005, MSGI closed a Callable Secured Convertible Note financing of $3 million with a New York based institutional investor (the “8% Notes”), which were last amended December 13, 2006. Substantially all of the assets of the Company are pledged as collateral to the note holders. The 8% Notes are due, principal and interest, in a single balloon payment on the maturity date of December 13, 2009. The 8% Notes have a conversion price of 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.

If in any month a default occurs, the note shall become immediately due and payable at 130% of the outstanding principal and interest.

In connection with the issuance of the 8% Notes, the Company also issued seven-year warrants to the investors for the purchase of up to 75,000 shares of the Company's common stock, $0.01 par value, which have an exercise price of $1.00 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 through January 11, 2009.

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 these notes. As a result of the Note conversion into common stock during the three months ended September 30, 2007, this guarantee was released.

The Company recorded a discount to the note payable of $1,396,735, of which $64,697 represented the discount allocated to the warrants and $1,332,038 represented the beneficial conversion feature of the note. The fair value of the warrants was determined using a Black-Scholes option pricing model.

During the months of July and August 2007, the holders of the 8% Notes elected to convert certain amounts of principal into shares of common stock of the Company under the provisions of the 8% Notes. In four separate conversion transactions, the holders converted approximately $810,000 in note principal into an aggregate total of 1,257,532 shares of common stock of the Company. As a result of these conversion transactions, a portion of the amortization of the discount on the 8% Notes was accelerated by approximately $348,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2007. The discount is being amortized to interest expense over the three-year maturity date. Amortization expense, including the accelerated amortization, was $437,355 for the three months ended September 2007.

On October 3, 2007 the remaining 8% Notes were purchased by certain third-party institutional investors and were fully converted at that point into shares of common stock. See Note 11 - Subsequent Events.

8% Debentures
On May 21, 2007, MSGI entered into a private placement with several institutional investors and issued 8% convertible debentures in the aggregate principal amount of $5,000,000 (the “8% Debentures”) and warrants for the purchase of up to 1,785,713 of common stock, exercisable over a five year period at an exercise price of $2.00.

The 8% Debentures have a maturity date of May 21, 2010 and accrue interest at a rate of 8% per annum. Payments of principal under the Debentures are not due until the maturity date and interest is deferred until the maturity date, however the investors can convert the principal amount of the 8% Debentures 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 8% Debentures is $1.40 per share yielding an aggregate total of possible shares to be issued as a result of conversion of 3,571,428 shares.

The Company allocated the aggregate proceeds of the 8% Debentures between the warrants and the Notes based on their fair value and calculated a beneficial conversion feature and warrant discount in an amount in excess of the $5 million in proceeds received. Therefore, the total discount was limited to $5 million. 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 three-year maturity date. Amortization expense was $416,667 for the three months ended September 30, 2007. Should the 8% Notes be converted or paid prior to the payment terms, the amortization of the discount will be accelerated.
 
The 8% Debentures and the Warrants have anti-dilution protections and the Company has agreed to certain registration rights for the resale of the shares of common stock underlying the Debentures and Warrants, pursuant to a registration rights agreement entered into simultaneously with the transaction . The Company has also entered into a 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 8% Debentures and Warrants.

H.C. Wainwright acted as placement agent and received a placement fee of $400,000 and 5 year warrants exercisable for 357,142 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $2.00 per share. These have been valued at $456,650 and included as debt issuance costs, which are being amortized over the term of the debt into interest expense. Amortization expense was $74,721 for the three months ended September 30, 2007.

The 6% Notes have single balloon payment of $2,000,000 due on the 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 6% 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 6% 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 6% Convertible Notes and warrants are not registered in accordance with the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement, payments under the Notes are not made when due or upon the occurrence of other defaults described in the Notes. The warrants are exercisable through December 2013. The exercise price of the warrants is $1.00 per share.

The 6% Notes and the warrants have anti-dilution protections, and the Company has agreed to certain registration rights for the resale of the shares of common stock underlying the 6% Notes, pursuant to a Registration Rights Agreement entered into simultaneously with the transaction. The Company has also entered into a Security Agreement and an 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 6% Notes and warrants. The registration rights agreement, as amended on December 13, 2006, provides for a registration filing 120 days from the date of closing and a registration effective date within 180 from the date of closing. The agreement provides for a cash penalty of approximately 2% of the value of the notes to be paid to each of the holders for each thirty-day period that is exceeded. This provision has been waived, in its entirety, by the investors.

The Company allocated the aggregate proceeds of the 6% Notes between the warrants and the Notes based on their fair values and calculated a beneficial conversion feature and warrant discount in an amount in excess of the $2 million in proceeds received. Therefore, the total discount was limited to $2 million. The Company is amortizing this discount over the remaining term of the 6% Notes through December 2009. Amortization expense was $166,668 for the three months ended September 30, 2007. Should the 6% Notes be converted or paid prior to the payment terms, the amortization of the discount will be accelerated.

H.C. Wainwright acted as a placement agent for a portion ($1,000,000) of the offering. H.C. Wainwright received a placement fee of $100,000 and 5 year warrants exercisable for 225,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.00 per share. The agent warrants were valued at $199,084 and were recorded as part of the financing costs. The aggregate of all the finance charges related to this transaction was $362,799 and such costs have been deferred and are being amortized over the life of the 6% Notes to interest expense. The amortization expense related to the deferred financing costs for the three months ended September 30, 2007 was $30,233.

On October 3, 2007, $1 million of the 6% Notes were purchased by certain third-party institutional investors and were fully converted at that point into shares of common stock. See Note 11 - Subsequent Events.

The warrants have an exercise price of $1.00 and are exercisable for a term of 7 years.

The 6% April Notes have single balloon payment of $1,000,000 due on the maturity date of April 5, 2010 and will accrue interest at a rate of 6% per annum. The Investors can convert the principal amount of the 6% April 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 6% April 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 Company allocated the aggregate proceeds of the 6% April Notes between the warrants and the Notes based on their fair values and calculated a beneficial conversion feature and warrant discount in an amount in excess of the $1 million in proceeds received. Therefore, the total discount was limited to $1 million. The Company is amortizing this discount to interest expense over the remaining term of the 6% April Notes through April 2010. Amortization expense was $83,334 for the three months ended September 30, 2007. Should the 6% April Notes be converted or paid prior to the payment terms, the amortization of the discount will be accelerated.

The payment obligation under the Notes may accelerate if the resale of the shares of common stock underlying the 6% Convertible April Notes and warrants are not registered in accordance with the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement, payments under the Notes are not made when due or upon the occurrence of other defaults described in the Notes.

The 6% April Notes and the warrants have anti-dilution protections, and the Company has agreed to certain registration rights for the resale of the shares of common stock underlying the 6% April Notes, pursuant to a Registration Rights Agreement entered into simultaneously with the transaction. The Company has also entered into a Security Agreement and an 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 6% April Notes and warrants.

The April 6% Notes and Warrants also carry registration rights which contain penalty clauses if the underlying shares are not registered per the terms of the agreement. The agreement calls for a registration filing 90 days from closing date and a registration effective date within 150 days from the date of closing of the funding transaction. The agreement provides for a cash penalty of approximately 2% of the value of the notes to be paid to each of the holders for each thirty day period that is exceeded. This provision in the agreement has been waived, in its entirety, by the investors.

H.C. Wainwright acted as a placement agent for the offering. H.C. Wainwright received a placement fee of $80,000 and 5 year warrants exercisable for 150,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.00 per share.

7. STOCK BASED COMPENSATION, COMMON STOCK AND WARRANTS

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 1999 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.

The Company accounts for employee stock-based compensation under SFAS 123R, “Share-Based Payment” (“SFAS 123R”), which requires all share-based payments to employees to be recognized in the financial statements at their fair values. The fair value of each stock option is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes method of valuation. The expense is being recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period of the options. 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.

There were no stock options granted during the three months ended September 30, 2007 or 2006. As of September 30, 2007, 1,025,000 options are outstanding, of which 598,332 options are exercisable. The weighted average exercise price of all outstanding options is $1.98. Aggregate intrinsic value of the options was $0 as of September 30, 2007. As of September 30, 2007, non-vested compensation cost that has not yet been recognized was approximately $584,600, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 1.25 years.

During fiscal year ended June 30, 2008, the Company had approved the issuance of 100,000 shares of common stock to the officer at the end of one year and an additional 100,000 shares of common stock to the officer at the end of two years. The Company has accounted for this additional stock as a liability, under SFAS 123R, which had a value of $67,500 as of September 30, 2007. The Company recorded an expense of $30,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2007 in connection with this stock.

14

Total non-cash compensation expense was $157,062 for the three months ended September 30, 2007, which consisted stock option expense as well as the future stock issuance to the officer. The non-cash compensation expense is included in salaries and benefits as a component of operating costs on the consolidated statements of operations.
 
Warrants
There were no warrants issued during the three months ended September 30, 2007. As of September 30, 2007, the Company has 9,356,586 warrants outstanding to purchase shares of common stock at prices ranging from $1.00 to $8.25, all of which are currently exercisable.

On February 7, 2007, the Company issued to Hyundai Syscomm Corp. a warrant to purchase a maximum of 24,000,000 shares of common stock in exchange for a maximum of $80,000,000 in revenue, which is to be realized by the Company over a maximum period of four years. The vesting of the warrant will take place quarterly over the four−year period based on 300,000 shares for every $1 million in revenue realized by the Company. The revenue is subject to the sub−contracting agreement between Hyundai and the Company dated October 25, 2006. Such warrants are considered contingent and are not reflected in the above total outstanding warrants, and therefore, the Company will not recognize the accounting impact of these warrants until the vesting event occurs.

On May 10, 2007, the Company entered into an agreement with Apro Media, which provides for the issuance of up to 12,750,000 warrants to purchase shares of common stock in exchange for a maximum of $90,000,000 in revenue, which is to be realized by the Company over a maximum period of seven years. The vesting of the warrant will take place based on 300,000 shares for every $1 million in revenue realized by the Company. Such warrants are considered contingent and are not reflected above, and therefore, the Company will not recognize the accounting impact of these warrants until the vesting event occurs.    
Common Stock Transactions:

During the months of July and August 2007, the holders of the 8% Notes elected to convert certain amounts of principal into shares of common stock of the Company under the provisions of the 8% Notes. In four separate conversion transactions, the holders converted approximately $810,000 in note principal into an aggregate total of 1,257,532 shares of common stock of the Company.
Per the terms of the sub-contract agreement with Apro, the Company is to compensate Apro with 3,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock when the sub-contract transactions result in $10.0 million of GAAP recognized revenue for the Company. During the three month period ended September 30, 2007 the Company recognized approximately $3.8 million in revenues resulting from activities under the sub-contract agreement. While the 3,000,000 shares are not fully earned during the period, the Company computed a fair value for a pro rata share of these shares and recorded an expense of approximately $1.2 million. This liability will be re-measured at each period end, until the shares are issued.

9. RELATIONSHIP WITH APRO MEDIA CORP.

On May 10, 2007, the Company entered into an exclusive sub-contract and distribution agreement with Apro Media Corp. (“Apro” or “Apro Media”) for at least $105 million of sub-contracting business over seven years to provide commercial security services to a Fortune 100 defense contractor. Under the terms of contract, MSGI will acquire components from Korea and deliver fully integrated security solutions at an average level of $15 million per year for the length of the seven-year engagement.  MSGI will also immediately establish and operate a 24/7/365 customer support facility in the Northeastern United States. Apro will provide MSGI with a web-based interface to streamline the ordering process and create an opportunity for other commercial security clients to be acquired and serviced by MSGI. The contract calls for gross profit margins estimated to be between 26% and 35% including a profit sharing arrangement with Apro Media, which will initially take the form of unregistered MSGI common stock, followed by a combination of stock and cash and eventually just cash. In the aggregate, assuming all the revenue targets are met over the next seven years, Apro Media would eventually acquire approximately 15.75 million shares of MSGI common stock. MSGI was referred to Apro Media by Hyundai as part of a general expansion into the Asian security market, however revenue under the Apro contract does not constitute revenue under the existing Hyundai warrant to acquire common stock of MSGI. The contract required working capital of at least $5 million due to considerable upfront expenses including a $2.5 million payment by MSGI to Apro Media for the proprietary system development requirements of the Fortune 100 client and the formation of a staffed production and customer service facility and warehouse.

On May 21, 2007, MSGI acquired the funding necessary for the execution of the contract, shortly thereafter, made the required payment of $2.5 million to Apro. The first shipments of product under this arrangement occurred during the three months ended September 30, 2007. All of the product revenue reflected for the three months ended September 30, 2007 is in connection with the Apro agreement.

Per the terms of the sub-contract agreement with Apro, the Company is to compensate Apro with 3,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock when the sub-contract transactions result in $10.0 million of GAAP recognized revenue for the Company. During the three month period ended September 30, 2007 the Company recognized approximately $3.8 million in revenues resulting from activities under the sub-contract agreement. While the 3,000,000 shares are not fully earned during the period, the Company computed a fair value for a pro rata share of these and recorded an expense of approximately $1.2 million. This liability will be re-measured at each period end, until the shares are issued.

11. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On October 3, 2007, the remaining Callable Secured Convertible 8% Notes originally issued during July 2005 through September 2005 and $1 million of the Callable Secured 6% Notes originally issued on December 13, 2006 were purchased by certain third-party institutional investors from the original note holders. The Company did not receive any cash as a result of these transactions and was not party to this agreement. On October 3, 2007, these institutional investors also submitted notification to the Company of their intentions to fully convert the Notes into shares of the Company’s common stock. The transaction had the effect of eliminating approximately $3.95 million of note payable, on a fully accreted basis, from the Company’s balance sheet. The exercise resulted in the issuance of approximately 6,700,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, bringing the total shares outstanding to approximately 18,265,000 as of that date. The conversion was performed at a price of $0.50 per share which was reflective of the conversion terms called for in the original note agreements.

In connection with the transaction discussed above, the $600,000 notes payable were also acquired by these investors and all terms of the original notes payable remain intact.

The Company does not require collateral from customers nor are customers required to make up-front payments for goods and services.

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.

On July 1, 2007, the Company adopted the provisions of Financial Standards Accounting Board Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an interpretation of SFAS 109” (FIN 48). FIN 48 provides recognition criteria and a related measurement model for uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in income tax returns. FIN 48 requires that a position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return be recognized in the financial statements when it is more likely than not that the position would be sustained upon examination by tax authorities. Tax positions that meet the more likely than not threshold are then measured using a probability weighted approach recognizing the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The adoption did not have an effect on the consolidated financial statements and there is no liability related to unrecognized tax benefits at September 30, 2007.

Use of Estimates:

The preparation of financial statements in conformity 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 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 and the allowance for doubtful accounts. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Equity Based Compensation:

We follow Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 123 Revised 2004, "Share−Based Payment" (“SFAS 123R”). 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.

20

Debt instruments, and the features/instruments contained therein:

Deferred financing costs are amortized over the term of its associated debt instrument. The Company evaluates the terms of the debt instruments to determine if any embedded derivatives or beneficial conversion features exist. The Company allocates the aggregate proceeds of the notes payable between the warrants and the notes based on their relative fair values in accordance with Accounting Principle Board No. 14 (“APB 14”), “Accounting for Convertible Debt and Debt Issued with Stock Purchase Warrants”. The fair value of the warrants issued to note holders or placement agents are calculated utilizing the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The Company is amortizing the resultant discount or other features over the terms of the notes through its earliest maturity date. If the maturity of the debt is accelerated because of defaults or conversions, then the amortization is accelerated. The Company’s debt instruments do not contain any embedded derivatives at September 30, 2007.

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

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 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.

On April 1, 2007 the Company entered into a non-exclusive license agreement with CODA Octopus, Inc. (“CODA”) where by the Company will receive a royalty on sales of products using the Innalogic proprietary technology. In connection with such transaction, CODA assumed certain development and operations responsibilities of the Innalogic entity.

On May 10, 2007, The Company entered into an exclusive sub-contract and distribution agreement with Apro Media Corp for at least $105 million of sub-contracting business over seven years to provide commercial security services to a Fortune 100 defense contractor. Under the terms of contract, MSGI will acquire components from Korea and deliver fully integrated security solutions at an average level of $15 million per year for the length of the seven-year engagement.  MSGI will also immediately establish and operate a 24/7/365 customer support facility in the Northeastern United States. Apro will provide MSGI with a web-based interface to streamline the ordering process and create an opportunity for other commercial security clients to be acquired and serviced by MSGI. The contract calls for gross profit margins estimated to be between 26% and 35% including a profit sharing arrangement with Apro Media, which will initially take the form of unregistered MSGI common stock, followed by a combination of stock and cash and eventually just cash.

Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2007, Compared to the Three Months Ended September 30, 2006.

Revenues of approximately $3.9 million were reported for the three months ended September 30, 2007 (the “Current Period”). Of these revenues, approximately $3.8 million we derived for shipments of product to clients under the Apro sub-contract agreement. Although the sub-contract agreement provides for certain targeted orders to be received by us, there can be no assurances of the timing and volume of revenues that will be recognized under this arrangement in future periods. Approximately $0.1 million in revenues was derived from the royalty agreement with CODA and are reported as revenues from a strategic partner. There were no revenues reported for the three months ended September 30, 2006 (the “Prior Period”), as neither of these arrangements were in place during this period.

There were approximately $2.8 million recognized as costs of goods sold in the Current Period compared to no costs of goods sold in the Prior Period. The costs realized in the Current Period represent the cost of components inventory used in producing the shipments under the Apro sub-contract during the period as well as certain costs of labor realized in testing, assembly and shipping processes.

Salaries and benefits of approximately $0.4 million in the Current Period decreased by approximately $0.2 million or 31% from salaries and benefits of approximately $0.5 million in the Prior Period. The decrease is due primarily to the reduction in corporate support personnel and the related salaries and benefits.

Selling, general and administrative expenses of approximately $0.5 million in the Current Period decreased by approximately $0.1 million or 11% from comparable expenses of $0.6 million in the Prior Period. The decrease is due primarily to various reduced expenses coinciding with the reduced corporate headcount.

Costs associated with shares to be issued to Apro of approximately $1.2 million in the Current Period are the result of an accrual to recognize the fair value of a pro-rata share of the amount of shares of common stock of the Company which are to be issued to Apro Media Corp as a compensatory payment for providing purchase orders to the Company for the sale of product and services as per the terms of the sub-contract agreement. There were no such expenses in the Prior Period. This liability will be remeasured at each period end until the shares are issued.
 
Depreciation and amortization expenses of approximately $16,000 were realized in the Current Period. These costs decreased by approximately $19,000 from similar costs in the Prior Period. This decrease is primarily the result of the costs associated with certain intangible assets becoming full amortized in August 2007. There will be no further amortization costs associated with these certain intangible assets.

As a result of the above, loss from operations of approximately $1.1 million in the Current Period decreased by approximately $0.1 million from comparable loss from continuing operations of $1.2 million in the Prior Period.

Interest expense of approximately $1.4 million in the Current Period increased by approximately $1.2 million over interest expense of approximately $0.2 million in the Prior Period. This increase is due primarily to non-cash interest charges realized from the accretion of discounts to the 8% and 6% Callable Convertible Note instruments. Of this accretion, approximately $348,000 was recognized from an acceleration of expenses resulting from the conversion of a portion of the debt to shares of the Company’s common stock.

The provision for income taxes of $3,000 in the Current Period is in line with those expenses realized in the Prior Period, and is the result of certain state minimum taxes.

22

As a result of the above, net loss of approximately $2.5 million in the Current Period increased by approximately $1.1 million from comparable net loss of approximately $1.4 million in the Prior Period.

In the Prior Period the Company recognized undeclared dividends on preferred stock of approximately $11,000. 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. There are no such expenses in the Current Period because all such shares were fully converted to common stock in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007.

As a result of the above, net loss attributable to common stockholders of approximately $2.5 million in the Current Period increased by approximately $1.1 million from comparable net loss of approximately $1.4 million in the Prior Period.

Capital Resources and Liquidity

Debt:
The Company does not have any credit facilities as of September 30, 2007. The Company carries debt related to certain notes payable as described above.

Liquidity:
Historically, the Company has funded its operations, capital expenditures and acquisitions pri-marily through private placements of equity transactions and the issuance of debt. At September 30, 2007, the Company had approximately $1.0 million in cash and cash equivalents and a working capital deficit of approximately $0.9 million.

The Company recognized a net loss of approximately $2.5 million in the Current Period. Cash used in operating activities was approximately $1.5 million. Cash used in operating activities principally resulted from our operating loss offset by increases in accounts payable. Cash used in operating activities in the Prior Period was approximately $0.2 million.

In the Current Period there was no cash provided by financing activities. In the Prior Period, net cash of approximately $184,000 was provided by financing activities, consisting primarily of net proceeds received from a strategic partner.

While the Company has realized significant losses in past periods, it has most recently raised significant working capital through the issuance of the 6% and 8% notes. The Company also looks forward to revenue generation as a result of its new sub-contracting relationship with Apro, although we can make no assurances of the timing and volume of revenues that will be generated. The Company believes that current funds on hand combined with funds that will be available from its various operations may 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 for the next twelve months. Failure of the new operations to generate such 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.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements:

The Company currently does not maintain any off-balance sheet arrangements.

Item 3. Controls and Procedures.
 
The Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's management, including Jeremy Barbera, the Company's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and Richard J. Mitchell III, the Company’s Chief Accounting Officer, of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934. Based on that evaluation, Mr. Barbera and Mr. Mitchell have concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2007 were not sufficiently effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms.
 
 
It is noted by the Company that on October 14, 2007, certain material weaknesses were communicated to the Company by our independent registered public accounting firm. The Company acknowledges that certain weaknesses, as stated and identified in the Form 10-KSB, as amended, need to be addressed. Further, our independent registered public accounting firm communicated to the Company that a material weakness exists with regard to proper retention of shipping and acceptance of products documentation under the Apro sub-contract agreement. The Company has acknowledged such deficiencies, but notes that the current three month period ended September 30, 2007 is the first in which the Apro sub-contract agreement is active and sufficient record retention shall be developed. 
 
 
Based upon the evaluation, our CEO and principal financial officer have each concluded that, given the current lack of resources available to the Company, our internal 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. Our CEO and principal financial officer also concluded that our internal controls are currently not sufficiently effective to ensure that information that is 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 internal controls are in place to allow for effective and timely management and reporting.
 
 
There were no other changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2007 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
