Event:
BDO Seidman LLP raised doubts on the ability of Porta Systems Corp. to continue as a going concern after auditing its financial statements. The auditor points out that the Company has suffered substantial losses from operations in previous years. As of December 31, 2006, the Company has a stockholders’ deficit of $27,823,000 and a working capital deficit of $31,646,000. The auditor notes that the Company is dependent on the continued agreement of the holder of its senior debt to defer the maturity date of such debt.
