Revenues for the first quarter of 2010 were $2,226,000 compared

"We have been successful in implementing expense reductions
while continuing to develop new products," said Peter L. Murdoch,
President and CEO of Sentry Technology Corporation. "During the
first quarter we designed an unlocking device for DVDs as an add-on
feature to our QuickCheck™ library self-service system. The first
units were installed in one of America's largest municipal
libraries. Our SmartTrack™ traveling camera systems are beginning
to be shipped under an OEM agreement with one of the world's
largest video systems integrators. Orders are anticipated to
increase in the coming quarters as technical and sales training is
completed at the customer's many European offices. Recently, two
shareholders loaned the company a total of $450,000 dollars and
management negotiated to postpone all non-supplier debt until June
30, 2011."
Sentry Technology Corporation designs, manufactures, sells and
installs a complete line of Closed Circuit Television (CCTV)
solutions, Electro-Magnetic (EM) and RFID based Library Management
systems as well as Radio Frequency (RF) and Electro-Magnetic (EM)
EAS systems. Our CCTV product line features SentryVision®,
SmartTrack™, a proprietary, patented traveling Surveillance System.
Products are used by libraries to secure inventory and improve
operating efficiency, by retailers to deter shoplifting and
internal theft and by industrial and institutional customers to
protect assets and people. More information can be found at
