SENTEX SENSING TECHNOLOGY, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) (1) In the opinion of management, the unaudited financial statements contain
all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring accruals and repayments)
necessary to present fairly the financial position at February 29, 2004 and the
results of operations and cash flows for the three months ended February
29,2004 and February 28, 2003. These interim statements should be read in conjunction with the audited
financial statements and notes thereto included in the Companys Annual Report
on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2003 (Commission File No.
2-13328) (2) The results of operations for the three months ended February 29, 2004 and
February 28, 2003 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected
for the full year. (3) PROFIT(LOSS) PER SHARE Profit(loss) per share is calculated using the weighted average number of
common shares outstanding. Potentially dilutive securities are insignificant. (4) PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Sentex Sensing
Technology, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (the Company). All
material inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in
consolidation. (5) RESTRICTED STOCK INVESTMENT During the Companys third quarter ending August 31, 2003, substantially all of
the business and assets of Metrisa, Inc. were sold to Galvanic Applied
Sciences, Inc. (a Canadian corporation). The purchase price was approximately
$2,500,000 of which approximately $251,000 has been held in escrow for a period
of eighteen months pending the satisfaction of other financial obligations. It
is anticipated that approximately $ .25 to $ .40 per chare will be available to
the current stockholders of Metrisa as a liquidating distribution. (6) 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. On May 30, 2002, the State of Ohio, Department of Administrative
Services filed a complaint against IQ Solutions, LLC (IQ Solutions)
and CPS Holding Company, Ltd. (CPS Holdings), both of which are owned
and controlled by Robert S. Kendall, the Chairman and Chief Executive
Officer of the Company. The complaint alleges that IQ Solutions failed
to act properly as a third party administrator to procure natural gas
supplies for various state agencies and failed to pay approximately $5.8
million dollars that were forwarded to IQ Solutions by the various state
agencies for payment to the suppliers of the natural gas based on claim
for breach of contract, conversion and unjust enrichment. As part of
its investigation, the State of Ohio conducted an audit of IQ Solutions
and CPS Holdings in which it identified
approximately $255,000 had been advanced from the defendants bank
account to the Company. The amount of these loans are recorded on the
audited financial statements of the Company as related party notes
payable, and effectively are repayable at the discretion of Mr. Kendall. 5

On December 8, 2003, the State of Ohio ammended its complaint to add,
among others, Mr. Kendall, Mr. Hess, and 15 business entities,
comprising CPS Capital, Ltd. (the controlling shareholder of the
Company) the Company, all of the Companys subsidiaries and all other
companies with which Mr. Kendall has ever been associated. These
entities have been added on the theory that they are the alter egos of
one another, and the State of Ohio asserts these entities are jointly
and severally liable for the entire $5.8 million dollars in damages,
plus prejudgment interest, post-judgment interest, punitive damages, its
costs and attorney fees. The Company believes that other than with
respect to the $255,000 it received from the initial defendants (which
is documented as a related party note payable), the Company and its
subsidiaries have no liability with respect to the damages that are
being sought. On April 6, 2004, the Court granted the plaintiffs and defendants
joint motion to stay the litigation pending the outcome of a declaratory
action filed by one of the insurers of these defendants relating to the
insurers indemnity obligations. No assurance, however, can be given
with respect to the timing or ultimate resolution of this matter. 6

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 and
significant working capital deficits. 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, 2002 and November 30, 2003, a statement that the Companys
recurring losses and significant working capital deficits raised substantial
doubt about the Companys ability to continue as a going concern. To address the Companys working capital needs, the Company, In July 1998,
established a bank line of credit of $2,000,000, and in August 2001, in
connection with a refinancing, an additional $500,000 was provided, all of
which is secured by the personal guarantee of Robert S. Kendall, the Chairman
of the Company. From time to time, CPS has provided the Company with temporary
working capital loans and as of February 29, 2004, there was an outstanding
borrowing of $3,546,017 on those loans. Net Operating Losses The Company has approximately $15,400,000 in net tax operating loss
carryforwards as of February 29, 2004, which will expire at various dates
through the year 2023 that are mainly attributable to losses incurred by
Monitek. Federal tax law imposes restrictions on the use of net operating loss
carry-forwards in the event of a change in ownership, such as a merger. Due to
the merger with Monitek, approximately $6,265,000 of the $15,400,000 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, 2003. The results of the first quarter 2004 reflect the effect of delays in equipment
programs which will come on stream in subsequent quarters and thereby grow our
revenue and margins substantially. The majority of this pick up will not be
felt until nearly the third quarter of this year. Insofar as our acquisition and capital raising programs are concerned, these
are continuing on as planned. Our hope is that we will soon conclude a
transaction and have a press release. 7

SENTEX SENSING TECHNOLOGY, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued) CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING STANDARDS  New Accounting Standards  In December 2002, the Financial Accounting
Standards Board
(FASB) issued SFAS No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based, Compensation -
Transition and Disclosure, that, among other provisions, amends SFAS No.
123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, to provide alternative
methods of transition to the fair value method of accounting for stock-based
employee compensation. SFAS No. 148 also amends the disclosure New
Accounting Standards  In December 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards
Board (FASB provisions of SFAS No. 123 and APB Opinion No. 28, Interim
Financial Reporting. The Statement does not amend SFAS No. 123 to require
companies to account for employee stock options using the fair value method.
The Statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15,
2002.In April 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 149, Amendment of Statement 133 on
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. This statement amends and
clarifies financial reporting for derivative instruments, including certain
derivative instruments embedded in other contracts and for hedging activities
under SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities. This statement is effective for contracts entered into or
modified after June 30, 2003, and for hedging relationships designated after
June 30, 2003.In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, Accounting for Certain Financial
Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity. This
statement establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and measures
certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and
equity. SFAS No. 150 was originally to be effective for financial
instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, and otherwise was to
be effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after
June 15, 2003. In November 2003, FASB issued FASB Staff Position 150-3 which
delays or defers indefinitely the effective date of certain provisions of
SFAS No. 150.In January 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46 (FIN 46),
Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an interpretation of
Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51. FIN 46 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 46 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 June 15, 2003. The
Company currently has no contractual relationship or other business
relationship with a variable interest entity.The adoption of the new standards did not, or is not expected to, materially
affect the Companys financial position and results of operations. 8
