ITEM 1 BUSINESS
Sentex Sensing Technology, Inc. (“Sentex” of the “Company”) is a corporation duly organized in 1980 in the state of New Jersey. On July 2, 2001, the Company purchased Regency Technologies, LLC (“Regency Technologies”) from Regency Steel, LLC and other selling members.
As previously reported, on November 20, 2005, the Company entered into a Contribution and Investment Agreement (the “Investment Agreement”) with JJJ-RT, LLC (“JJJ-RT”), Regency Technologies, Inc. (“Regency”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, and Regency Acquisition, LLC (“New LLC”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Regency. Under the Investment Agreement, Regency contributed all of its operating assets to New LLC and New LLC assumed all of the obligations of Regency except for amounts due Robert Kendall, Chief Executive of the Company, of about $200,000 and certain inter-company accounts payable between Regency and the Company in the amount of $47,000, and JJJ-RT obtained the right to invest up to $800,000 in New LLC on an as-needed basis. The members of JJJ-RT primarily control when any such investments are made. For every $10,000 of capital JJJ-RT invests into New LLC, JJJ-RT is entitled to 1% of the equity interest until it owns 50% of the interests of New LLC. These investments by JJJ-RT dilute the Company’s interests in New LLC. The majority members of JJJ-RT are James Levine, the Executive Vice President of Regency, and Julius Hess, a former director and executive officer of the Company and a current officer of Regency. Mr. Levine and Mr. Hess are the sons-in-law of Mr. Kendall.
As a result of these arrangements and with the understanding that it is the intention of JJJ-RT to obtain a majority position prior to the end of the next fiscal year, the Company, together in consultation with its outside auditors, has concluded that JJJ-RT should be the consolidating entity. Accordingly, the Company has not reflected the assets, liabilities, revenue or expenses of the New LLC in its financial statements. As such, the Company has not provided a discussion of New LLC operations or liquidity and capital resources.
ITEM 3 LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
State of Ohio, Department of Administrative Services v. IQ Solutions, LLC, et al.; Case No. 03-CVH05-6054; Franklin County Common Pleas Court, Ohio.
During October 2004, the Company was dismissed without prejudice from the above-caption and previously disclosed matter.

     ITEM 6 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
                  RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
CAUTIONARY STATEMENT FOR PURPOSES OF THE “SAFE HARBOUR” OF THE PRIVATE SECURITIES LITIGATION REFORM ACT OF 1995.
Certain statements in the Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and the Financial Statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-KSB, in the Company’s press releases and in oral statements made by or with the approval of an authorized executive officer of the Company constitute “forward-looking statements” as that term is defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These may include statements projecting, forecasting or estimating Company performance and industry trends. The achievement of the projections, forecasts or estimates is subject to certain risks and uncertainties. Actual results and events may differ materially from those projected, forecasted or estimated. The applicable risks and uncertainties include general economic and industry conditions that affect all business, as well as matters that are specific to the Company and the markets it serves.
Specific risks to the Company include an inability of the Company to finance its working capital needs. In light of this and other uncertainties, the inclusion of a forward-looking statement herein should not be regarded as a representation by the Company that the Company’s plans and objectives will be achieved.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
Working Capital and Liquidity
During the last several fiscal years, the Company has incurred losses from operations. In addition, the Company’s certified public accountants, Hausser + Taylor LLC, have included in their auditors’ report, which covers the Company’s financial statements for the years ended November 30, 2004 and November 30, 2005, a statement that the Company’s recurring losses from operations raised substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. For fiscal year 2004 and the period ended November 20, 2005, the Company sustained losses of approximately $781,000 and $377,000, respectively. These losses have had a substantial adverse effect on the working capital of the Company.
In June of 2004, the Company restructured its $2,500.000 in bank financing. This financing has subsequently been taken over by CPS, which now holds much of the working capital debt that has been used in the business during 2005. As of November 30, 2005, there was an outstanding balance of $7,091,000 on the loans from CPS and Robert S. Kendall, its chairman. We believe these loans have been secured under terms no less favorable than we could have obtained pursuant to an arms-length transaction.
In addition to the CPS loans, from time to time, Mr. Julius L. Hess, the Company’s Vice President, Secretary and a Director, has provided the Company with cash investments to help fund certain specified transactions. From December 1, 2004 through November 20, 2005, Mr. Hess has invested a total of $715,925 to fund such transactions. In agreement for providing such funds, which amounts may not otherwise have been available to the Company, Mr. Hess typically receives remuneration in the amount of up to fifty percent of the gross profit from such transactions. Upon settlement of the transactions during the period from December 1, 2004 through November 20, 2005, Mr. Hess will have received total proceeds of $822,433. We believe these investments have been secured under

5

terms no less favorable than we could have obtained pursuant to an arms-length transaction. As of November 20, 2005, there was an outstanding balance of $227,279 on these loans.
In addition to the above-noted investments, Mr. Hess has, from time to time, provided loans to the Company to cover certain working capital expenses such as payroll. Mr. Hess does not receive any remuneration for these loans, other than the return of principal. These loans are typically paid back within a short period of time. From December 1, 2004 throuth November 20, 2005 Mr. Hess provided $217,000 in loans of this kind to the Company. As of November 20, 2005, there was no outstanding balance on these loans.
Net Tax Operating Loss Carryforwards
As of November 20, 2005 the Company has approximately $16,376,000 in net tax operating loss carryforwards which will expire at various dates through the year 2025 that are mainly attributable to losses incurred by Monitek. Federal tax law imposes restrictions on the use of net operating loss carryforwards in the event of a change in ownership, such as a merger. Due to the merger with Monitek, approximately $6,265,000 of the $16,376,000 net operating losses may be subject to these limitations and potentially may not be able to provide any economic benefit to the Company.
RESULTS FROM OPERATIONS
Fiscal 2005 as Compared to Fiscal 2004
Revenues decreased from approximately $3,915,000 in fiscal 2004 to $2,996,000 in fiscal 2005, a decrease of 23.5%. Gross margins on sales increased from 23.8% in 2004 to 43.4% in 2005 due primarily to a better than average sales mix in the first and fourth quarters of the year. Volume still was not sufficient to allow the Company to be profitable.
Operating expenses (SG & A) increased from $1,544,000 in fiscal 2004 to $1,620,000 for the period ended November 20, 2005. Operating expenses as a per cent of sales increased from 40.1% in fiscal 2004 to 54.1% in 2005. The increase in operating expenses is due primarily to the growth in employee costs.
Interest expense at increased significantly from $220,000 in 2004 to $370,000 in 2005 and was due to the eight increases in the prime rate experienced during the year.
CURRENT OUTLOOK
On November 20, 2005, Sentex Sensing Technology, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Contribution and Investment Agreement (the “Investment Agreement”) with JJJ-RT, LLC (“JJJ-RT”), Regency Technologies, Inc. (“Regency”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, and Regency Acquisition, LLC (“New LLC”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Regency. Under the Investment Agreement, Regency contributed all of its operating assets to New LLC and New LLC assumed all of the obligations of Regency except for amounts due Robert Kendall, Chief Executive of the Company, of about $200,000 and certain inter-company accounts payable between Regency and the Company in the amount of $47,000, and JJJ-RT has the right to invest up to $800,000 in New LLC on an as-needed basis. The members of JJJ-RT will primarily control when any such investments are made. For every $10,000 of capital JJJ-RT invests into New LLC, JJJ-RT would be entitled to 1% of the equity interest until it owned 50% of the interests of New LLC. These investments by JJJ-RT would dilute the Company’s interests in New LLC. The majority members of JJJ-RT are James Levine, the Executive Vice President of Regency, and Julius Hess, a former director and executive officer of the Company and a current officer of Regency. Mr. Levine and Mr. Hess are the sons-in-law of Mr. Kendall.

Table of Contents

JJJ-RT would not be entitled to purchase any further equity interests beyond a 50% interest until the later of (a) the date the Company had another operating business or (b) January 31, 2006 (the “Event Date”), as set forth in the Investment Agreement. If the executive management determines that more than $500,000 in funds are required to be invested in New LLC prior to the Event Date, then such funds may be invested in New LLC as a loan, which principal amount of the loan may be converted into equity interests of New LLC after the Event Date at a rate of 1% of equity interest for each $10,000 of principal that is converted. Upon conversion of any such loans, all accrued interest on that portion of the converted principal will be forgiven. JJJ-RT would not have the right to purchase more than 80% of the equity interests in New LLC, whether by a direct investment in cash or upon conversion of any loans under the terms of the Investment Agreement, without further agreement from the Company.
The Investment Agreement was subject to the receipt of a fairness opinion (the “Fairness Opinion”) as to the fairness to the shareholders of the Company of the transactions described therein from a financial point of view. The Fairness Opinion was received by the Company on November 25, 2005. The Fairness Opinion was prepared by Kline & London CPAs, Inc. (“Kline & London”). Kline & London had not previously provided services or received fees from the Company or Regency. Kline & London’s fees for this engagement were not contingent upon a favorable opinion, and they have no verbal, written or implied agreement to provide future services or receive future fees from the Company or Regency.
The Company, together with the other parties to the Investment Agreement, determined that JJJ-RT should receive 1% equity in New LLC for each 10,000 invested. Such amount of compensation was not recommended by Kline & London. However, after reviewing and relying upon material relating to the financial and operating conditions of the Company and Regency, including (a) the Investment Agreement, (b) the Operating Agreement of New LLC, (c) the annual filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for the three years ended November 30, 2002, 2003 and 2004, (d) the quarterly reports filed with the SEC for the first three quarters of 2005, (e) internal financial analyses and forecasts for the Company and Regency prepared by certain members of the senior management of the Company and Regency, and (f) certain publicly available information with respect to the Company and Regency and other companies engaged in similar operations, and after conducting discussions with executive management of the Company, Regency and JJJ-RT concerning historical financial performance and future business prospects and forecasts and reviewing summary reports prepared by a financial advisor engaged to raise capital for the Company, Kline & London provided its opinion that the terms of the Investment Agreement are fair, from a financial point of view, to the Company’s shareholders.
No limitations were imposed by the Company on the scope of the investigation by Kline & London. The Fairness Opinion will be made available for inspection and copying at the principal executive office of the Company during regular business hours by any interested equity security holder.
The Company will not receive any of the invested cash from JJJ-RT as a payment for its existing equity interest in Regency, and will be diluted with each sale of equity interests to JJJ-RT. The Company believes, however, that this transaction provides it the best opportunity to realize a potential return on its existing investment in light of its existing options.
New Accounting Standards — In November 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 151, “Inventory Costs,” to clarify the accounting for abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs and wasted material. This standard requires that such items be recognized as current-period charges. The standard also establishes the concept of “normal capacity” and requires the allocation of fixed production overhead to inventory based on the normal capacity of the production facilities. Any unallocated overhead must be recognized as an expense in the period incurred. This standard is effective for inventory costs incurred starting January 1, 2006. The Company does not
believe the adoption of this standard will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

Table of Contents

In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 153, “Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets.” This standard amended APB Opinion No. 29, “Accounting for Nonmonetary Transactions,” to eliminate the exception from fair value measurement for nonmonetary exchanges of similar productive assets. This standard replaces this exception with a general exception from fair value measurement for exchanges of nonmonetary assets that do not have commercial substance. A nonmonetary exchange has commercial substance if the future cash flows of the entity are expected to change significantly as a result of the exchange. This statement is effective for all nonmonetary asset exchanges completed by the company starting January 1, 2006. The Company does not believe the adoption of this standard will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In December 2004, the FASB released a revised version of SFAS No. 123 (FASB 123R), “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation.” This statement supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and its related implementation guidance. This statement amends and clarifies the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services. This statement requires a public entity to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments and to recognize this cost over the vesting period or time period during which the employee is required to provide service in exchange for the reward. This statement is effective for the Company starting January 1, 2006. The Company does not expect the adoption of this statement to have a material impact on its financial statements.
In June 2005, the FASB released SFAS No. 154, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections”, a replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3, to change the requirements for the accounting for and reporting of a change in accounting principle. This statement requires retrospective application to prior periods’ financial statements of changes in an accounting principle, unless it is impracticable to determine either the period specific effects or the cumulative effect. If impracticable to determine period specific effects, this statement requires the new accounting principle to be applied to balances of assets and liabilities as of the beginning of the earliest period for which retrospective application is practicable and a corresponding entry made to opening balance of retained earnings for that period. If it is impracticable to determine the cumulative effect to prior periods, the statement requires the new accounting principle to be applied from the earliest date practicable. This statement requires that a change in depreciation, amortization and depletion methods for long-lived assets be accounted for as a change in estimate effected by a change in accounting principle. Lastly, this statement carries forward guidance from Opinion 20 for reporting the correction of an error in previously issued financial statements and a change in accounting estimate. This standard is effective for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. The Company does not believe the adoption of this standard will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

ITEM 12 CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
CPS Management Agreement:
After CPS acquired effective control of the Company, CPS entered into a Management Agreement with the Company, which was effective on March 1, 1996. (the “Original Management Agreement”). In connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement, dated June 24, 1996 (the “Merger Agreement”), CPS and the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Management Agreement (the “Amended and Restated Management Agreement”). Pursuant to the Original Management Agreement, CPS agreed to cause its personnel to perform the functions that would normally be performed by officers of the Company. Presently, such personnel consist mainly of Mr. Kendall, the Chairman of CPS and William R. Sprow the Controller of CPS. In order to permit Mr. Kendall and Mr. Sprow to function as officers and for them to be properly insured as officers of the Company, Mr. Kendall has been elected as the President and Treasurer of the Company and Mr. Sprow has been elected Chief Financial Officer of the Company.
Under the terms of the Original Management Agreement, CPS received an annual fee of $193,800, which was payable monthly. Under the terms of the Amended and Restated Management Agreement, the annual fee was increased to $393,800 to account for the increase in tasks and responsibilities relating to the operation of Monitek. Due to the present financial condition of the Company, CPS has not received payment under the Amended and Restated Management Services Agreement since May 1997, but the Company agreed to accrue such expense. On May 15, 1998, CPS and the Company entered into the Second Amended and Restated Management Services Agreement, pursuant to which CPS agreed to accept 5,025,745 Common Shares in lieu of accrue management fees equaling $196,900, representing fees for the second half of fiscal 1997. All the shares acquired by CPS were acquired for investment purposes.
In December 1997, CPS and the Company agreed to a reduced management fee of $250,000 for fiscal 1998. In December 1998, the parties agreed to reduce the fee to $300,000 for fiscal 1999 and subsequent years. CPS and the Company have agreed that the balance due as of November 30, 2000, which totals $442,000.
Working Capital Assistance:
During fiscal 1997 through fiscal 2001, CPS and Mr. Kendall provided the Company assistance in connection with funding its working capital needs in the form of loans and security for bank loans. From May 1997 through November 2002, CPS provided the Company a series of temporary capital loans at a prime interest rate plus 100 basis points. The outstanding balance of such loans total $7,090,713, including accrued interest, as of November 30, 2005. From time to time, Mr. Kendall has also provided security to banks by permitting the banks to obtain a security interest in Mr. Kendall’s personal assets and/or providing guarantees so the Company could obtain financing from the Bank. Except for the interest to be received on the loans provided by CPS, neither Mr. Kendall nor CPS has received nor will receive any remuneration in connection with providing such working capital assistance to the Company unless the notes are converted into Common Shares at some future date. The Company believes the interest payable to CPS is and was on terms no less favorable than could be obtained pursuant to an arms-length transaction.

Table of Contents

In addition to the CPS loans, from time to time, Mr. Julius L. Hess, the Company’s Vice President, Secretary and a Director, has provided the Company with cash investments to help fund certain specified transactions. From December 1, 2004 through November 20, 2005, Mr. Hess has invested a total of $715,925 to fund such transactions. In agreement for providing such funds, which amounts may not otherwise have been available to the Company, Mr. Hess typically receives remuneration in the amount of up to fifty percent of the gross profit from such transactions. Upon settlement of the transactions during the period from December 1, 2004 through November 20, 2005, Mr. Hess will have received total proceeds of $822,433. We believe these investments have been secured under terms no less favorable than we could have obtained pursuant to an arms-length transaction. As of November 20, 2005, there was an outstanding balance of $227,279 on these loans.
In addition to the above-noted investments, Mr. Hess has, from time to time, provided loans to the Company to cover certain working capital expenses such as payroll. Mr. Hess does not receive any remuneration for these loans, other than the return of principal. These loans are typically paid back within a short period of time. From December 1, 2004 throuth November 20, 2005 Mr. Hess provided $217,000 in loans of this kind to the Company. As of November 20, 2005, there was no outstanding balance on these loans.

ITEM 14 PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTANT FEES AND SERVICES
Aggregate audit fees billed for professional services rendered by Hausser + Taylor LLC (the “Firm”) for auditing registrant’s annual financial statements included in the registrant’s 10-KSB and review of its internal financial statements included in the registrant’s 10-QSB’s were $31,100 in 2005 and $43,500 in 2004.

The Firm has a continuing relationship with RSM McGladrey (“RSM”) from which it leased auditing staff who are full time, permanent employees of TBS and through which its shareholders provide non-audit services. As a result of this arrangement, the Firm has no full time employees and, therefore, none of the audit services performed were provided by permanent full time employees of the Firm. The Firm manages and supervises the audit and audit staff, and is exclusively responsible for the opinion rendered with its examination.

Independent Auditors’ Report
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
Sentex Sensing Technology, Inc.
Cleveland, Ohio
     We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Sentex Sensing Technology, Inc. and subsidiaries as of November 30, 2005, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity (deficit) and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended November 30, 2005. 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 financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Sentex Sensing Technology, Inc. and subsidiaries as of November 30, 2005, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended November 30, 2005, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
     The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2A to the financial statements, the Company has in the past and continues to sustain substantial net and operating losses. In addition, the Company has used substantial amounts of working capital in its operations which has reduced the Company’s liquidity to a very low level. At November 30, 2005, current liabilities exceed current assets by $7,693,586. This and other matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event the Company cannot continue in existence.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1.   Organization, Background, Industry Segment and Discontinued Operations
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Sentex Sensing Technology, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (the “Company”). All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
On July 2, 2001, the Company acquired Regency Technologies, Ltd. from Regency Steel, LLC. In connection with the acquisition, the Company issued 1,250,000 common shares held in treasury in exchange for 100% of Regency Technologies, Ltd. The Company’s only significant operations in the years ended November 30, 2005 and 2004 consisted of Regency Technologies, Ltd.’s operations. The Company specializes in the buying, selling, and trading of information technology equipment (primarily computer equipment). The primary focus of the Company’s business revolves around acquiring unneeded, older computer equipment and reselling that equipment to certain consumers on a global basis. The Company’s business is confined to one industry segment and two geographical reporting segments. The Company’s assets are all located within the United States.
Effective November 20, 2005 the Company transferred substantially all of the net assets of Regency Technologies, Ltd. to two of the Regency management team members and others (See Note 13.). The Company had been unsuccessful in its quest to raise growth capital that was necessary for further growth of Regency Technologies, Ltd.
We therefore completed a smaller transaction whereby members of management and others invested their own capital under a purchase agreement with JJJ-RT, LLC which resulted in their acquiring control of Regency.
The Company will ultimately retain a 20% minority interest in JJJ-RT, LLC.
This business has been accounted for as a discontinued operation in the consolidated statements of operations for all periods presented.
Financial information relating to the discontinued operations of Regency Technologies, Ltd. follows:

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 2.   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
  A.   Going Concern – The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. However, the Company has in the past and continues to sustain substantial net and operating losses. In addition, the Company has used substantial amounts of working capital in its operations which has reduced the Company’s liquidity to a very low level. At November 30, 2005, current liabilities exceed current assets by $7,693,586. Additionally, at November 30, 2005, the Company has no operations. These and other matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event the Company cannot continue in existence. The Company’s ability to continue in existence is primarily dependent upon its planned ability to arrange adequate financing and to attain profitable operating activities to sustain required cash flows.
 
  B.   Receivable and Credit Policies – Through November 20, 2005 accounts receivable were uncollateralized customer obligations due with various trade terms from the invoice date and were stated at the amount billed to the customer. Payments of accounts receivable were applied to the specific invoices identified on the customer’s remittance advice. The carrying amount of accounts receivable was reported net of the allowance for doubtful accounts reserve, which reflects management’s best estimate of the amount that would not be collected. Management individually reviews all accounts receivable balances and any customer account balances with invoices dated over 120 days past due were considered delinquent. These delinquent invoice amounts plus any other invoices deemed not to be collected were reserved for in the allowance for doubtful accounts reserve. Specific accounts were charged directly to the reserve when management obtained evidence of a customer’s insolvency or otherwise determined that the account was uncollectible.
 
  C.   Revenue Recognition – Through November 20, 2005 the Company recorded revenue as customers were billed for consulting services.
 
  D.   Concentration of Credit and Risk Factors – Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk include cash and equivalents and accounts and notes receivable. The Company places its cash and cash equivalents with high credit quality financial institutions. The amount on deposit in any one institution that exceeds federally insured limits is subject to credit risk. Also see Notes 2.B., 2.G. and 13.
 
  E.   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. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Note 2.   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
  F.   Income Taxes – The Company utilizes Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes,” which requires an asset and liability approach to financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. The difference between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities is determined annually. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed for those temporary differences that have future tax consequences using the current enacted tax laws and rates that apply to the periods in which they are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established, if necessary, to reduce the deferred tax asset to the amount that will, more likely than not, be realized. Income tax expense is the current tax payable or refundable for the period plus or minus the net change in the deferred tax assets and liabilities.
 
  G.   Fair Value of Certain Financial Instruments – The fair values of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and other short-term obligations approximate their carrying values because of the short maturity of these financial instruments.
 
  H.   Loss Per Share – Loss per share is calculated using the weighted average number of shares outstanding. Potentially dilutive securities are insignificant.
 
  I.   New Accounting Standards — In November 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 151, “Inventory Costs,” to clarify the accounting for abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs and wasted material. This standard requires that such items be recognized as current-period charges. The standard also establishes the concept of “normal capacity” and requires the allocation of fixed production overhead to inventory based on the normal capacity of the production facilities. Any unallocated overhead must be recognized as an expense in the period incurred. This standard is effective for inventory costs incurred starting January 1, 2006. The Company does not believe the adoption of this standard will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
 
      In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 153, “Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets.” This standard amended APB Opinion No. 29, “Accounting for Nonmonetary Transactions,” to eliminate the exception from fair value measurement for nonmonetary exchanges of similar productive assets. This standard replaces this exception with a general exception from fair value measurement for exchanges of nonmonetary assets that do not have commercial substance. A nonmonetary exchange has commercial substance if the future cash flows of the entity are expected to change significantly as a result of the exchange. This statement is effective for all nonmonetary asset exchanges completed by the company starting January 1, 2006. The Company does not believe the adoption of this standard will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

Note 2.   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
In December 2004, the FASB released a revised version of SFAS No. 123 (FASB 123R), “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation.” This statement supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and its related implementation guidance. This statement amends and clarifies the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services. This statement requires a public entity to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments and to recognize this cost over the vesting period or time period during which the employee is required to provide service in exchange for the reward. This statement is effective for the Company starting January 1, 2006. The Company does not expect the adoption of this statement to have a material impact on its financial statements.
In June 2005, the FASB released SFAS No. 154, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections”, a replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3, to change the requirements for the accounting for and reporting of a change in accounting principle. This statement requires retrospective application to prior periods’ financial statements of changes in an accounting principle, unless it is impracticable to determine either the period specific effects or the cumulative effect. If impracticable to determine period specific effects, this statement requires the new accounting principle to be applied to balances of assets and liabilities as of the beginning of the earliest period for which retrospective application is practicable and a corresponding entry made to opening balance of retained earnings for that period. If it is impracticable to determine the cumulative effect to prior periods, the statement requires the new accounting principle to be applied from the earliest date practicable. This statement requires that a change in depreciation, amortization and depletion methods for long-lived assets be accounted for as a change in estimate effected by a change in accounting principle. Lastly, this statement carries forward guidance from Opinion 20 for reporting the correction of an error in previously issued financial statements and a change in accounting estimate. This standard is effective for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. The Company does not believe the adoption of this standard will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
J.     Certain amounts in the financial statements for the year ended November 30, 2005 have been reclassified to conform with current year presentation.

Note 3.   Investment in Regency Technologies, Ltd.
 
    Due to a change in control, the Company now accounts for its investment in JJJ-RT, LLC on the equity method. However, losses and distributions have exceeded the Company’s investment in JJJ-RT, LLC. Accordingly, the Company has reflected such investments at zero. The Company’s share of future losses in this investment will be suspended for book purposes. Furthermore the Company’s share in future income will not be recognized until the aggregate of such income equals the aggregate of their suspended losses.
 
    The net loss on disposal of subsidiary (Regency Technologies, Ltd.) is the result of recognizing the net investment deficit in Regency as of November 20, 2005 as income to bring the value of the investment to zero and decreasing that gain by the forgiveness of inter-company debt as stated in the Contribution and Investment Agreement. (See note 13.)

Note 8.   Stock Incentive Plan
 
    The Company has a long-term incentive plan (“Incentive Plan”) to provide current and future directors, officers and employees incentives to stimulate their active interest in the development and financial success of the Company. The Incentive Plan provides for the granting of “incentive stock options,” under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or other stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted, or nonrestricted stock awards to purchase not more than 7,000,000 shares (which shares have been reserved by the Company) of common stock as determined by the Company’s Incentive Plan Committee (the “Committee”). The option prices per share of common stock, which are the subject of incentive stock options and other stock options under the Incentive Plan, shall not be less than 100% of the fair market value of the Company’s shares of common stock on the date such option is granted. The Committee shall determine when each option is to expire but no option shall be exercisable for a period of more than 10 years from the date upon which the option is granted. Generally, options granted under the Incentive Plan vest or terminate upon the employee leaving the Company and are subject to automatic acceleration of any vesting requirements given certain changes in control of the Company. No options were outstanding to purchase the Company’s stock during the years ended November 30, 2005 and 2004.
 
    Stock appreciation rights may be awarded by the Committee at the time or subsequent to the time of the granting of options. Stock appreciation rights awarded shall provide that the option holder shall have the right to receive an amount equal to 100% of the excess, if any, of the fair market value of the shares of common stock covered by the option over the option price. Such amount shall be payable, as determined by the Committee, in one or more of the following manners: (a) cash; (b) fully-paid shares of common stock having a fair market value equal to such amount; or (c) a combination of cash and shares of common stock. As of November 30, 2005, the Company has not granted any appreciation rights under the Incentive Plan.

Note 10.   Income Taxes
 
    As referred to in Note 1, the Company utilizes SFAS 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” A reconciliation between the Company’s effective income tax rate and the statutory federal income tax rate is as follows for the years ended November 30:
                 
    2004     2003  
Expected federal income tax benefit at the statutory rate
    (34.0 )%     (34.0 )%

    (34.0 )     34.0  
 
           
 
               
 
    %     %
 
           
The tax effects of significant temporary differences that give rise to significant portions of the deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are presented below for the years ended November 30:
                 
    2005     2004  
Deferred tax assets:
               
Net operating loss carryforward
  $ 3,437,700     $ 3,235,400  
Other
           
 
           
Total gross deferred tax assets
    3,437,700       3,235,400  
Less valuation allowance
    3,437,700       3,235,400  
 
           
 
               
Net deferred tax assets
  $     $  
 
           
The deferred tax assets do not include deferred tax assets related to purchased net operating loss carryforwards that are subject to usage limitations (see below).
The Company established a valuation allowance against tax benefits that are potentially available to the Company but have not yet been recognized. This valuation allowance relates to the amount of net operating loss carryforwards in excess of existing net taxable temporary differences and to certain deductible temporary differences that may not reverse during periods in which the Company may generate net taxable income. During the years ended November 30, 2005 and 2004, the Company recorded increases of $202,300 and $223,300, respectively, in the valuation allowance primarily as a result of the net operating loss generated during the year.
At November 30, 2005, the Company had approximately $16,376,000 of net operating loss carryforwards available to offset future federal taxable income. The federal non-limited net operating loss carryforwards expire at various dates from 2013 through 2025. Federal tax law imposes restrictions on the utilization of net operating loss carryforwards in the event of a change in ownership. The Company’s net operating loss includes approximately $6,265,000 of loss carryforwards that may be subject to limitations as a result of these provisions.

    During October 2004, the Company was dismissed without prejudice from the matter, State of Ohio, Department of Administrative Services v. IQ Solutions, et al.; Case No. 03-CVH05-6054: Franklin County Common Pleas Court, Ohio which was previously disclosed.
 
Note 13.   Other
 
    On November 20, 2005, Sentex Sensing Technology, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Contribution and Investment Agreement (the “Investment Agreement”) with JJJ-RT, LLC (“JJJ-RT”), Regency Technologies, Inc. (“Regency”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, and Regency Acquisition, LLC (“New LLC”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Regency. Under the Investment Agreement, Regency contributed all of its operating assets to New LLC and New LLC assumed all of the obligations of Regency except for amounts due Robert Kendall, Chief Executive of the Company, of about $200,000 and certain inter-company accounts payable between Regency and the Company in the amount of $47,000, and JJJ-RT has the right to invest up to $800,000 in New LLC on an as-needed basis. The members of JJJ-RT will primarily control when any such investments are made. For every $10,000 of capital JJJ-RT invests into New LLC, JJJ-RT would be entitled to 1% of the equity interest until it owned 50% of the interests of New LLC. These investments by JJJ-RT would dilute the Company’s interests in New LLC. The majority members of JJJ-RT are James Levine, the Executive Vice President of Regency, and Julius Hess, a former director and executive officer of the Company and a current officer of Regency. Mr. Levine and Mr. Hess are the sons-in-law of Mr. Kendall.

Note 13.   Other (Continued)
 
    JJJ-RT would not be entitled to purchase any further equity interests beyond a 50% interest until the later of (a) the date the Company had another operating business or (b) January 31, 2006 (the “Event Date”), as set forth in the Investment Agreement. If the executive management determines that more than $500,000 in funds are required to be invested in New LLC prior to the Event Date, then such funds may be invested in New LLC as a loan, which principal amount of the loan may be converted into equity interests of New LLC after the Event Date at a rate of 1% of equity interest for each $10,000 of principal that is converted. Upon conversion of any such loans, all accrued interest on that portion of the converted principal will be forgiven. JJJ-RT would not have the right to purchase more than 80% of the equity interests in New LLC, whether by a direct investment in cash or upon conversion of any loans under the terms of the Investment Agreement, without further agreement from the Company.
 
    The Investment Agreement was subject to the receipt of a fairness opinion (the “Fairness Opinion”) as to the fairness to the shareholders of the Company of the transactions described therein from a financial point of view. The Fairness Opinion was received by the Company on November 25, 2005. The Fairness Opinion was prepared by Kline & London CPAs, Inc. (“Kline & London”). Kline & London had not previously provided services or received fees from the Company or Regency. Kline & London’s fees for this engagement were not contingent upon a favorable opinion, and they have no verbal, written or implied agreement to provide future services or receive future fees from the Company or Regency.
 
    The Company, together with the other parties to the Investment Agreement, determined that JJJ-RT should receive 1% equity in New LLC for each 10,000 invested. Such amount of compensation was not recommended by Kline & London. However, after reviewing and relying upon material relating to the financial and operating conditions of the Company and Regency, including (a) the Investment Agreement, (b) the Operating Agreement of New LLC, (c) the annual filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for the three years ended November 30, 2002, 2003 and 2004, (d) the quarterly reports filed with the SEC for the first three quarters of 2005, (e) internal financial analyses and forecasts for the Company and Regency prepared by certain members of the senior management of the Company and Regency, and (f) certain publicly available information with respect to the Company and Regency and other companies engaged in similar operations, and after conducting discussions with executive management of the Company, Regency and JJJ-RT concerning historical financial performance and future business prospects and forecasts and reviewing summary reports prepared by a financial advisor engaged to raise capital for the Company, Kline & London provided its opinion that the terms of the Investment Agreement are fair, from a financial point of view, to the Company’s shareholders.
 
    No limitations were imposed by the Company on the scope of the investigation by Kline & London. The Fairness Opinion will be made available for inspection and copying at the principal executive office of the Company during regular business hours by any interested equity security holder.

    The Company will not receive any of the invested cash from JJJ-RT as a payment for its existing equity interest in Regency, and will be diluted with each sale of equity interests to JJJ-RT. The Company believes, however, that this transaction provides it the best opportunity to realize a potential return on its existing investment in light of its existing options.
