SENTEX SENSING TECHNOLOGY, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

On July 2, 2001, the Company purchased Regency Technologies, LLC from Regency Steel, LLC and other members.

Regency Technologies specializes in the buying, selling, and trading of information technology equipment (primarily computer equipment). The primary focus of our business revolves around acquiring unneeded, older computer equipment and reselling that equipment to certain consumers on a global basis.

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, 2003 and November 30, 2004, 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 years 2003 and 2004, the Company sustained losses of approximately $531,000 and $781,000, 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 2004. As of February 28, 2005, there was an outstanding balance of $6,242,000 on the loans from CPS. 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 February 28, 2005, Mr. Hess has invested a total of $147,770 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 14, 2004 through February 28, 2005, Mr. Hess will have received total proceeds of $177,987. 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 February 28, 2005, there was an outstanding balance of $146,270 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 through February 28, 2005, Mr. Hess provided $65,000 in loans of this kind to the Company. As of February 28, 2005, there was an outstanding balance of $50,000 on these loans.

Net Tax Operating Loss Carryforwards

SENTEX SENSING TECHNOLOGY, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)

As of February 28, 2005 the Company has approximately $15,864,000 in net tax operating loss carryforwards which will expire at various dates through the year 2024 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 $15,864,000 net operating losses may be subject to these limitations and potentially may not be able to provide any economic benefit to the Company.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Three Months ended February 29, 2004 compared to Three Months Ended February 28, 2005.

First quarter 2005 results were significantly improved of the first quarter 2004. Sales increased by $154,000 or 25.5%. Gross profit went from near zero to $404,000 which resulted in a 53.7% margin on sales. This favorable performance was largely due to first quarter sales being generated from asset recovery products that typically produce larger than normal margins.

Operating expenses of $408,000 were in line with the increased sales.

Interest expense is higher for 2005 primarily due to the increases in the prime rate.

Losses for the first quarter amounted to $83,000.

CURRENT OUTLOOK

Volume is now accelerating at a rapid pace and the second quarter revenue should be up substantially from the second quarter of 2004.

The Company continues to actively pursue various capital sources and strategic partners in an effort to recapitalize and restructure the Company so that it may move forward with its new and expanded business model. Although there can be no assurances, the Company believes that it will have its funding requirements fulfilled in the very near future. This is the key to the substantial growth that can be achieved within our platform.

CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

New Accounting Standards – In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 123, “Share Based Payment”. SFAS No. 123R, which amends SFAS No. 123, “Accounting or Stock Based Compensation,” and SFAS No. 95, “Statement of Cash Flows.” SFAS 123R requires all companies to measure compensation cost for all share-based payments at fair value, and will be effective for public companies for interim and annual periods beginning after June 15, 2005. This new standard may be adopted in one of two ways – the modified prospective transition method of the modified retrospective transition method. The Company currently has no stock-based compensation plans.

In December 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46 (revised December 2003) (“FIN 46”), “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities”, an interpretation of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51. FIN 46R requires certain variable interest entities, or VIEs, to be consolidated by the primary beneficiary of the entity if the equity investors in the entity do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest or do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties. FIN 46R is effective for all VIEs created or acquired after January 31, 2003. For VIEs created or acquired prior to February 1, 2003, the provisions of FIN 46 must be applied for the first interim or annual period beginning after March 15, 2004. The Company currently has no contractual relationship or other business relationship with a variable interest entity.

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 under 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.
