Note 1 - Basis of Presentation

Financial information included herein is unaudited, however, such information
reflects all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for
the fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements for the interim
periods.  The results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of
the results to be expected for the full year.  The accompanying unaudited
condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance
with Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X promulgated by the Securities and Exchange
Commission and therefore do not include all information and footnote disclosures
required under generally accepted accounting principles.  It is suggested that
the March 31, 2006 consolidated financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes included in the
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005.

The Company has incurred losses in the three-month period ended March 31, 2006
of $1,073,000 and $1,793,000 for the year ended December 31, 2005.  The Company
also has a negative working capital of $431,000 as of March 31, 2006 and has
negative cash flows from operations for the three months ended March 31, 2006 of
$325,000.  Additionally the Company has current debt obligations of $14,285,000,
which includes $12.2 million of the Company's 7 1/2% Notes that are due December
1, 2006.  Management believes that its current cash resources will be sufficient
to fund its operations and its current obligations for the next twelve months.
Management's plans include the use of its non-revolving line of credit to fund
its current debt obligations (See Note 3) and monitoring and reducing expenses.
However, no assurance can be given at this time as to whether the Company will
be able to achieve these objectives.

In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 123 (revised 2004),
"Share-Based Payment" ("SFAS 123(R)").  SFAS 123(R) establishes standards that
require companies to record the cost resulting from all share-based payment
transactions using the fair value method.  Transition under SFAS 123(R)
requires using a modified version of prospective application under which
compensation costs are recognized over the remaining service period for all
unvested share-based payments outstanding or a modified retrospective method
under which all prior periods impacted by SFAS 123 are restated.  Effective
January 1, 2006, the Company adopted SFAS 123(R) using the modified prospective
transition method, whereby compensation costs are recognized in the consolidated
statements of operations in the period beginning in January 1, 2006.
Accordingly, compensation cost amounts for prior periods are presented in the
Company's footnotes but the consolidated financial statements have not been
restated to reflect, and do not include, the impact of SFAS 123(R).  Stock-
based compensation expense related to stock options recognized under SFAS 123(R)
for the three months ended March 31, 2006 was approximately $1,000, net of tax.
See Note 5 - Stock Option Plans, for additional disclosures.

Note 3 - Long-Term Debt

During the three months ended March 31, 2006, long-term debt, including current
portion, decreased $4.3 million, primarily due to the $4.1 million repayment on
the revolving loan; and regular scheduled payments of long-term debt, offset by
a $150,000 zero percent interest loan for five years from the State of Iowa and
City of Des Moines.

The Company has a bank Credit Agreement, which was amended in 2006, which
provides for a term loan of $10.0 million, a non-revolving line of credit of up
to $6.2 million to finance purchases and/or redemptions of one-half of the 7
1/2% Convertible Subordinated Notes due December 1, 2006 (the "7 1/2% Notes"),
and a revolving loan of up to $5.0 million at variable interest rates ranging
from LIBOR plus 2.25% to Prime (ranging from 6.44% to 7.24% at March 31, 2006).
The Credit Agreement matures on January 1, 2008.  The non-revolving line of
credit is convertible into a four-year amortizing term loan on December 31, 2006
and maturing January 1, 2008.  At March 31, 2006, the non-revolving line of
credit was fully available as none had been drawn and $4.1 million was available
under the revolving loan facility.  The Credit Agreement requires an annual
facility fee on the unused commitment of 0.25%, and requires compliance with
certain financial covenants, which include a fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.1
to 1.0 through June 30, 2006 and 1.2 to 1.0 for quarters ending September 30,
2006 and thereafter, a loan-to-value ratio of not more than 50%, a leverage
ratio of 3.0 to 1.0, maintaining a tangible net worth of not less than $19.0
million, a cap on capital expenditures and maintaining accounts with an average
monthly compensating balance of not less than $750,000.  At March 31, 2006, the
Company was in compliance with all the financial covenants as set forth in the
amended Credit Agreement.

On March 13, 2006, the Company completed an offer to exchange $1,000 principal
amount of its 8 1/4% Limited Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes due 2012 (the
"8 1/4% Notes") for each $1,000 principal amount of its 7 1/2% Notes.  The
exchange offer commenced February 6, 2006 and expired on March 13, 2006.  A
total of $0.1 million principal amount of 7 1/2% Notes were exchanged, leaving
$12.2 million principal amount of 7 1/2% Notes outstanding.  The 8 1/4% Notes
provide for a higher interest rate, which is payable semi-annually, have a
longer term, are convertible into Common Stock at a lower conversion price of
$9.00 per share until March 1, 2007, may be redeemed by the Company, in whole or
in part, at declining premiums beginning March 1, 2006 and are senior to the 7
1/2% Notes and the Company's 9 1/2% Subordinated Debentures (the "Debentures")
due 2012.

Note 5 - Stock Option Plans

Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the provisions of SFAS 123(R),
which establishes the accounting for stock-based awards exchanged for employee
services.  SFAS 123(R) requires all share-based payments to employees, including
grants of employee stock options, to be measured at fair value and expensed in
the consolidated statement of operations over the service period (generally the
vesting period).  We previously accounted for share-based compensation plans
under APB 25 and the related interpretations and provided the required SFAS 123
pro forma disclosures for employee stock options.

The Company did not issue any stock options during the three months ended March
31, 2006.  The unrecognized compensation costs related to unvested stock options
granted under the Company's stock option plans was nominal.

Prior to the adoption of SFAS 123(R), we provided the disclosures required under
SFAS 123.  We did not recognize stock option-based compensation cost in our
statement of operations for the periods prior to the adoption of SFAS 123(R), as
all options granted had an exercise price equal to the market price of our
common stock on the date of grant.

<TABLE>
The following table illustrates the effect on net loss and loss per share for
the three months ended March 31, 2005 as if the Company had applied the fair
value recognition provisions of SFAS 123 to stock-based employee compensation:

Note 6 - Business Segment Data

The Company evaluates segment performance and allocates resources based upon
operating income.  The Company's operations are managed in three reportable
business segments.  The Display Division comprises two operating segments,
Indoor display and Outdoor display.  Both design, produce, lease, sell and
service large-scale, multi-color, real-time electronic information displays.
Both operating segments are conducted on a global basis, primarily through
operations in the U.S.  The Company also has operations in Canada.  The Indoor
display and Outdoor display segments are differentiated primarily by the
customers they serve.  The Entertainment/Real Estate segment owns a chain of
motion picture theatres in the western Mountain States and income-producing real
estate properties.  Segment operating income is shown after general and
administrative expenses directly associated with the segment and includes the
operating results of the joint venture activities.  Corporate general and
administrative items relate to costs that are not directly identifiable with a
segment.  There are no intersegment sales.  Of the total goodwill of $1,004,000,
$938,000 relates to the Outdoor display segment and $66,000 relates to the
Indoor display segment.

Foreign revenues represent less than 10% of the Company's revenues and therefore
are not separately disclosed.  The foreign operation does not manufacture their
own equipment; the domestic operation provides the equipment that the foreign
operation leases or sells.  The foreign operation operates similarly to the
domestic operation and have similar profit margins.

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
         of Operations

Overview

Trans-Lux is a full service provider of integrated multimedia systems for
today's communications environments.  The essential elements of these systems
are the real-time, programmable electronic information displays we manufacture,
distribute and service.  Designed to meet the evolving communications needs of
both the indoor and outdoor markets, these displays are used primarily in
applications for the financial, banking, gaming, corporate, transportation,
entertainment and sports industries.  In addition to its display business, the
Company owns and operates a chain of motion picture theatres in the western
Mountain States.  The Company operates in three reportable segments:  Indoor
Display, Outdoor Display and Entertainment/Real Estate.

The Indoor display segment includes worldwide revenues and related expenses from
the rental, maintenance and sale of indoor displays.  This segment includes the
financial, gaming, government and corporate markets.  The Outdoor Display
segment includes worldwide revenues and related expenses from the rental,
maintenance and sale of outdoor displays.  Included in this segment are catalog
sports, retail and commercial markets.  The Entertainment/Real Estate segment
includes the operations of the motion picture theatres in the western Mountain
States and income-producing real estate properties.


Results of Operations

Three Months Ended March 31, 2006 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2005

Total revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2006 remained level compared
to the three months ended March 31, 2005 at $11.6 million, although the Indoor
display rentals and maintenance revenues and sales revenues decreased, but were
offset by increases in Outdoor display sales revenues.

Indoor display revenues decreased $444,000 or 12.9%.  Of this decrease, Indoor
display equipment rentals and maintenance revenues decreased $283,000 or 11.6%,
primarily due to disconnects and non-renewals of equipment on rental and
maintenance on existing contracts in the financial services market.  Indoor
display equipment sales decreased $161,000 or 16.2%, primarily due to a
reduction in sales from the financial services market.  The financial services
market continues to be negatively impacted by the current investment climate,
resulting in consolidation within that industry.  Although the market conditions
appear to be slowly improving, installations of new equipment tend to lag any
economic turnaround.

Outdoor display revenues increased $376,000 or 7.3%.  Of this increase, Outdoor
display equipment sales increased $349,000 or 9.1%, primarily in the outdoor
catalog sports market.  Outdoor display equipment rentals and maintenance
revenues increased $27,000 or 2.0%, primarily due to an increase in out of
contract service and maintenance offset by the continued expected gradual
revenue decline in the older Outdoor display equipment rental and maintenance
bases acquired in the early 1990s.

                                      10
<PAGE>


Entertainment/Real Estate revenues increased $29,000 or 0.9%, box office
revenues remained level, but there was an increase in concession sales.

Total operating income for the three months ended March 31, 2006 decreased
$734,000 to $511,000 from $1.2 million for the three months ended March 31,
2005, principally due to the reduction in revenues in the Indoor display segment
and a decrease in the gross margin in both the Indoor and Outdoor sold equipment
due to the product mix.

Indoor display operating income decreased $642,000, from $309,000 to an
operating loss of $333,000, primarily as a result of the decrease in revenues in
the financial services market and a decrease in the gross margin on sold
equipment due to the product mix.  The cost of Indoor displays represented 76.6%
of related revenues in 2006 compared to 62.6% in 2005.  The cost of Indoor
displays as a percentage of related revenues increased primarily due to the
decrease in revenues from Indoor display equipment rentals and maintenance and
the costs to maintain the equipment, such as the field services costs remaining
level.  Indoor display cost of equipment sales decreased $132,000 or 37.3%,
primarily due to the decrease in revenues and the product mix.  There was a
decrease in the gross margin of Indoor display equipment sales due to the
product mix of sales to the transportation market.  Indoor display general and
administrative expenses increased $58,000 or 6.0%, primarily due to an increase
in travel costs and commission.  Cost of Indoor display equipment rentals and
maintenance includes field service expenses, plant repair costs, maintenance and
depreciation.

Outdoor display operating income decreased $102,000, from $124,000 to $22,000,
primarily as a result of the product mix, a $50,000 non-recurring material cost
and a $97,000 increase in the allowance for doubtful accounts receivable, offset
by a decrease of $100,000 in field service costs.  The Company continues to
address the cost of field service to bring it in line with revenues from
equipment rentals and maintenance.  The cost of outdoor displays represented
80.2% of related revenues in 2006 compared to 80.7% in 2005.  Outdoor display
cost of equipment sales increased $369,000 or 12.7%, principally due to the
increase in volume.  Outdoor display cost of equipment rentals and maintenance
decreased $94,000 or 7.5%, primarily due to a decrease in field service costs.
Outdoor display general and administrative expenses increased $203,000, or
23.3%, primarily due to an increase in engineering costs, travel costs, salaries
and benefits.  Cost of Outdoor display equipment rentals and maintenance
includes field service expenses, plant repair costs, maintenance and
depreciation.

Entertainment/Real Estate operating income increased $10,000 or 1.3%, primarily
due to an increase in concession sales.  The cost of entertainment/real estate
represented 69.9% of related revenues in 2006 compared to 71.9% in 2005.  Cost
of entertainment/real estate, which includes film rental costs and depreciation
expense, decreased $40,000 or 1.8%, primarily due to the reduction in certain
overhead costs.  Entertainment/Real Estate general and administrative expenses
increased $43,000 primarily due to increased salaries and travel costs.

Corporate general and administrative expenses increased $84,000 or 8.4%,
primarily due to an increase in salaries and benefits, such as medical costs.
The Company has taken additional measures to reduce certain overhead costs in
the first quarter of 2006, which should be reflected in future

                                      11

quarters.

Net interest expense increased $117,000, which is primarily attributable to an
increase in variable interest rates.  The income from joint venture relates to
the operations of the theatre joint venture, MetroLux Theatres, in Loveland,
Colorado, which is included in the Entertainment/real estate segment.

The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005 was
34.8% and 38.3%, respectively.


Liquidity and Capital Resources

The regular quarterly cash dividend for the first quarter of 2006 of $0.035 per
share on the Company's Common Stock and $0.0315 per share on the Company's Class
B Stock was declared by the Board of Directors on March 21, 2006, payable to
stockholders of record as of April 20, 2006, and was paid May 2, 2006.

The Company has a bank Credit Agreement, which was amended in 2006, which
provides for a term loan of $10.0 million, a non-revolving line of credit of up
to $6.2 million to finance purchases and/or redemptions of one-half of the
7 1/2% Notes, and a revolving loan of up to $5.0 million at variable interest
rates ranging from LIBOR plus 2.25% to Prime (ranging from 6.23% to 7.25% at
March 31, 2006).  The Credit Agreement matures on January 1, 2008.  The
non-revolving line of credit is convertible into a four-year amortizing term
loan on December 31, 2006 and maturing January 1, 2008.  At March 31, 2006, the
non-revolving line of credit was fully available as none had been drawn and $4.1
million was available under the revolving loan facility.  The Credit Agreement
requires an annual facility fee on the unused commitment of 0.25%, and requires
compliance with certain financial covenants, which include a fixed charge
coverage ratio of 1.1 to 1.0 through June 30, 2006 and 1.2 to 1.0 for quarters
ending September 30, 2006 and thereafter, a loan-to-value ratio of not more than
50%, a leverage ratio of 3.0 to 1.0, maintaining a tangible net worth of not
less than $19.0 million, a cap on capital expenditures and maintaining accounts
with an average monthly compensating balance of not less than $750,000.  At
March 31, 2006, the Company was in compliance with all the financial covenants
as set forth in the amended Credit Agreement.

The Company continually evaluates the need and availability of long-term capital
and is concentrating on restructuring the current 7 1/2% Notes that are due
December 1, 2006.

On March 13, 2006, the Company completed an offer to exchange $1,000 principal
amount of its 8 1/4% Notes for each $1,000 principal amount of its 7 1/2% Notes.
The exchange offer commenced February 6, 2006 and expired on March 13, 2006.  A
total of $0.1 million principal amount of 7 1/2% Notes were exchanged, leaving
$12.2 million principal amount of 7 1/2% Notes outstanding and $18.0 million
principal amount of the 8 1/4% Notes outstanding.  The 8 1/4% Notes provide for
a higher interest rate, which is payable semi-annually, have a longer term, are
convertible into Common Stock at a lower conversion price of $9.00 per share
until March 1, 2007, may be redeemed by the Company, in whole or in part, at
declining premiums beginning March 1, 2006 and are senior to the 7 1/2% Notes
and the Company's 9 1/2% Debentures due 2012.

Under various agreements, the Company is obligated to make future cash payments
in fixed amounts.  These consist of payments under the Company's long-term debt
agreements, including the 7 1/2% Convertible Subordinated Notes not exchanged in
the Exchange Offer that mature December 1, 2006, employment and consulting
agreement payments and rent payments required under operating lease agreements.

The following table summarizes the Company's fixed cash obligations as of March

</TABLE>

Cash and cash equivalents decreased $5.3 million for the three months ended
March 31, 2006 compared to a decrease of $1.2 million in 2005.  The decrease in
2006 is primarily attributable to a $4.1 million repayment on the revolving line
of credit and $0.3 million of scheduled payments of long-term debt, cash used in
operating activities of $325,000 and investment in equipment for rental.  The
decrease in 2005 is primarily attributable to the investment in equipment for
rental, expansion of the Company's movie theatre in Dillon, Colorado and
scheduled payments of long-term debt.

Safe Harbor Statement under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995

The Company may, from time to time, provide estimates as to future performance.
These forward-looking statements will be estimates, and may or may not be
realized by the Company.  The Company undertakes no duty to update such
forward-looking statements.  Many factors could cause actual results to differ
from these forward-looking statements, including loss of market share through
competition, introduction of competing products by others, pressure on prices
from competition or purchasers of the Company's products, interest rate and
foreign exchange fluctuations, terrorist acts and war.


Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

The Company is subject to interest rate risk on its long-term debt.  The Company
manages its exposure to changes in interest rates by the use of variable and
fixed interest rate debt.  In addition the Company is exposed to foreign
currency exchange rate risk mainly as a result of investment in its Canadian
subsidiary and previously its Australian subsidiary.  The Company may, from time
to time, enter into derivative contracts to manage its interest risk.  The
Company does not enter into derivatives for trading or speculative purposes.  At
March 31, 2006, the Company did not hold any derivative financial instruments.

A one percentage point change in interest rates would result in an annual
interest expense fluctuation of approximately $251,000.  A 10% change in the
Canadian dollar relative to the U.S. dollar would result in a currency exchange
expense fluctuation of approximately $152,000, based on dealer quotes,
considering current exchange rates.


Item 4.  Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.  The Company's President and
Co-Chief Executive Officer, Michael R. Mulcahy, the Company's Executive Vice
President and Co-Chief Executive Officer, Thomas Brandt, and the Company's
Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, Angela D. Toppi, have
evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure
controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly
report.  The Company's disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure
that material information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports
that are filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is
recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified
in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms.  Our disclosure
controls and procedures include components of our internal controls over
financial reporting.  Management's assessment of the effectiveness of our
internal controls over financial reporting is expressed at the level of
reasonable assurance because a control system, no matter how well designed and
operated, can provide only reasonable, but not absolute assurance that the
control system's objectives will be met.  Based on this evaluation, the
Company's Co-Chief Executive Officers and Chief Financial Officer have concluded
that these controls and procedures are effective.


Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting.  There has been no change
in the Company's internal control over financial reporting, that occurred in the
first fiscal quarter, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to
materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

The Company is subject to a number of risks including general business and
financial risk factors.  Any or all of such factors could have a material
adverse effect on the business, financial condition or results of operations of
the Company.  You should carefully consider the following risk factors, in
addition to those identified in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year
ended December 31, 2005.

The Company has incurred losses in the three-month period ended March 31, 2006
of $1,073,000 and $1,793,000 for the year ended December 31, 2005.  The Company
also has a negative working capital of $431,000 as of March 31, 2006 and has
negative cash flows from operations for the three

                                      14

months ended March 31, 2006 of $325,000.  Additionally the Company has current
debt obligations of $14,285,000, which includes $12.2 million of the Company's 7
1/2% Notes that are due December 1, 2006.  Management believes that its current
cash resources will be sufficient to fund its operations and its current
obligations for the next twelve months.  Management's plans include the use of
its non-revolving line of credit to fund its current debt obligations (See Note
3) and monitoring and reducing expenses.  However, no assurance can be given at
this time as to whether the Company will be able to achieve these objectives.


Item 5.  Other Information
