RICHARDSON, TX – TXP Corp.’s third-quarter revenues rose $100,000 over last year to $2.68 million, while earnings hit $3.03 million, up from a net loss of $1.32 million. The net income included a non-cash gain of approximately $6.31 million.

For the quarter ended Sept. 30, the operating loss was $1.94 million, down 14% from last year.

TXP makes assembly prototypes on a contract basis and builds optical network terminals.

The company is in the midst of a merger with Cambridge Industry Group, a deal that should close by yearend.

SALT LAKE CITY – CirTran Corp. reported September quarter sales of $3.1 million, down 12% from 2007.

The net loss was $2.3 million, versus net income of $82,898 a year ago. The results include a derivative liability-related loss of $867,138.

CirTran USA and CirTran-Asia, which include the company’s contract assembly operations, dragged down the results, the company said. The decline was mainly attributable to a one-time 2007 order not duplicated in 2008, a decrease in exercise product demand, and a drop in demand for cable assembly and electronic.
