), an international full-service contract manufacturer, marketer and distributor of IT, consumer and consumer electronics products, today announced financial results for the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2006, the period ended September 30, 2006. CirTran's management believes that comparisons of the financial results from the third quarter of 2006 to the third quarter of fiscal 2005 do not provide an accurate picture of the Company's progress in executing its new consumer marketing strategy. While management is providing those comparisons for informational purposes, the Company is also providing sequential comparisons to the second fiscal quarter, which provide a more meaningful comparison relative to the Company's progress.

For the period ended September 30, 2006, CirTran reported net sales Net Sales

This amount is calculated by subtracting the following items from gross sales: merchandise returned for credit, allowances for damaged or missing goods, freight
 of $3.0 million, a 37% sequential improvement compared to the $2.2 million reported for the previous quarter ended June 30, 2006, and a 27.2% decrease compared to the $4.3 million reported for the third quarter of fiscal 2005. It was the third consecutive quarter of sales growth for CirTran, which had sales of $1.7 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2006. The year-over-year decrease is due to a considerable decrease in the sale of Ab King product, which is a matter of ongoing litigation An action brought in court to enforce a particular right.

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $1.1 million for the third quarter of 2006, a sequential decrease of 44.9% compared to the $1.92 million for the second fiscal quarter of 2006 and an increase of 2.5% compared to $1.03 million for the third quarter of 2005. The increase is due to the additional salaries, commissions paid to Diverse Media Group, legal fees, and consulting fee paid primarily to an outside force.

"As evidenced by our continued improvements in revenues and a narrowing of our net loss, excluding one-time accounting charges, we have demonstrated significant successes in our ability to execute our new business plan, obtaining agreements to market and distribute a variety of innovative products," commented Iehab J. Hawatmeh, CirTran's chief executive officer. "These new agreements validate our business model, and demonstrate our ability to pursue and win marketing business. Over time, we will expand this model to include marketing agreements with DMG at favorable terms for customers, which include manufacturing agreements for CirTran, allowing us to utilize our existing capacity and secure a greater portion of the overall product margin. This represents our 'concept to consumer' model, where CirTran is the only fully integrated provider of design, low- and high-volume manufacturing, and product marketing services to supply the entire gamut of services needed to bring products from the concept phase through manufacturing to the targeted consumer. I am pleased, but not yet satisfied with our results, but I recognize that the tremendous progress we have made in our strategic evolution has not yet been reflected in our financial results."

For the first nine months of 2006, net sales decreased 39.2% to $7.0 million as compared to $11.5 million during the same period in 2005. Cost of sales decreased by 34.9% to $4.5 million, resulting in gross profit margin of 35.4%, during the first nine months of 2006 compared to cost of sales of $7.0 million, with gross profit margins of 39.6% gross profit margin, during the same period in 2005. Selling, general and administrative expenses were $3.8 million versus $3.6 million for the same period in 2005, a 7.3% increase. The net loss for the first nine months of 2006, inclusive of a $2,504,496 million negative fluctuation in accretion expense and on the valuation of the derivative liability, was $3.9 million, compared to net income of $839,543, for the same period ended September 30, 2005.

"We continue to line up new consumer product marketing agreements, and believe that these agreements will positively impact our results beginning in 2007," Mr. Hawatmeh continued. "We have built a comprehensive organization, which brings tremendous value to our customers, providing recognized expertise in all areas of product development and marketing. This organization will exploit tremendous synergies across our entire Company, allowing CirTran to bring unprecedented value to our customers and enabling us to capture a higher portion of the revenues and margin associated with product development and marketing. As we continue to execute our strategy, we are becoming increasingly confident in our ability to drive significant shareholder value."
