On November 20, 2006, the Company closed a transaction to sell the real estate property associated with its previously sold high frequency radio business for $2.7 million in cash and recognized a gain in the amount of $2,182,902. The Company reclassified the gain on the sale of this real estate property from continuing operations to a gain on the disposal of assets from discontinued operations for the nine months ended June 30, 2007.

On August 1, 2007, the Company completed the sale of all the outstanding shares of Percipia, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary in the Company's Telephone Communications segment, for approximately $4.0 million in cash, subject to a post-closing adjustment. The results of operations for Percipia have been reclassified from continuing to discontinued operations.

John Hayes, Chief Executive Officer of Sunair, stated "The increase in revenues at Middleton for the three months ended June 30, 2007 fell below our expectations primarily due to a decrease in new business leads. We have addressed this issue by making significant investments in both our sales management team and additions to our sales force and we are currently in the process of a developing and launching a new marketing campaign designed to improve the generation of new business leads.

"Furthermore, we are most optimistic about Sunair's future as we continue to focus on growing our company through acquisitions, organic growth and geographic expansion in our lawn and pest control services business within Florida. We were pleased to have completed two acquisitions during our third quarter. The first, Florida Exterminating Co., provides both residential and commercial service throughout the Tampa, St. Petersburg, Land O'Lakes and Lakeland areas of Florida. The second, Summer Rain Fertilization Company, provides our first entry into Broward and Palm Beach counties.

"In addition, the divestiture of Percipia represents a key transaction for us. With the sale of this subsidiary, we continue to execute our strategy of divesting our non-core assets while growing our core lawn and pest control services business. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of Percipia were utilized to repay debt under our credit facility, and we expect to re-deploy those proceeds in future acquisitions in our core lawn and pest control services business."
