:ARCS) today reported first quarter revenue of $11,752,000, a 45% increase for the quarter ended March 31, 2006 as compared to $8,076,000 for the same period last year. The increase in revenue is due primarily to an increase in international sales at Winncom Technologies and also from increases from sales from our Wireless Communications wireless communications

 decreased to 14.2% for the period ended March 31, 2006 as compared to 17.5% for the same period last year. The decrease in gross margins is the result of the decrease in Winncom's margins resulting from increased revenues from long term construction contracts pending installation and the change in product mix and ramp-up costs of several new projects of the Wireless Communications Solutions Division.

Commenting on the results of the first quarter, Randall P. Marx, Chief Executive Officer said, "Winncom's telecommunications project in Kazakhstan is progressing as planned, with significant product being shipped to the construction site, and installation is underway. Pursuant to our contract with Kazakhtelecom, we anticipate recognizing approximately $28 million of revenue, which constitutes the first phase of the project, through the third quarter of 2006. Of this amount, $2.6 million was recognized in the 4th quarter of 2005 and $2.8 million was recognized during the first quarter of 2006, with the remaining amount expected to be recognized during the second and third quarters of 2006."

"The Wireless Communications Solutions Division has introduced a number of new products and the Company is opening its new office in Hong Kong Hong Kong (hŏng kŏng), Mandarin Xianggang, special administrative region of China, formerly a British crown colony (2005 est. pop. 6,899,000), land area 422 sq mi (1,092 sq km), adjacent to Guangdong prov.  through which it will transition some of its manufacturing in an effort to increase margins, which have been under pressure due to increased component and domestic manufacturing costs. The rise in copper prices will have an impact on the Company's Starworks Wireless cable business as prices have increased dramatically over the last two months. However, because this is a global issue for all cable suppliers, as always we will look for opportunities in this phase of our business to increase market share and customer base in the future," Mr. Marx added.
