We were unable to file our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2005. The acquisition of Tops Digital Security, Inc dated March 29, 2006 resulted in delays in completing the testing and analysis procedures prerequisite to the completion of our annual financial statements.

If so, attach an explanation of the anticipated change, both narratively and quantitatively, and, if appropriate, state the reasons why a reasonable estimate of the results cannot be made.

We expect to report net sales of approximately $32 million for the year ended December 31, 2005, compared to net sales of approximately $21 million in 2004. Our total operating expenses increased to approximately $11.2 million in 2005 compared to total operating expenses of approximately $9.7 million in 2004. The increase in operating expenses in 2005 was primarily due to a full year of operating expenses for our Perpetual Digital and our AirWorks flight support business which were acquired in April, 2004. As a result, we expect to report a loss from operations of approximately $7.2 million for fiscal year 2005. In addition, we recorded a non-cash preferred stock dividend of $2.7 million in 2005, relating to the beneficial conversion of a portion of our Series B, Series C and Series D preferred stock. The foregoing financial information is subject to completion of our audited financial statements to be included in our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB.
