Prior to January 1, 2006, we elected to follow Accounting Principles Board Opinion (APB) NO.25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related interpretations to account for our employee and director stock options, as permitted by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. Effective January 1, 2006, we adopted the fair value recognition provision of SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payments, (SFAS No. 123(R) for all share-based payment awards to employees and directors including employee stock options. In addition, we have applied the provisions of Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107 (SAB No. 107), issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission, in our adoption of SFAS No. 123(R). We adopted SFAS No. 123(R) using the modified-prospective-transition method. Under this transition method, stock-based compensation expense recognized after the effective date includes: (1) compensation cost for all share-based payments granted prior to, but not yet vested as of January 1, 2006, based on the grant date fair value estimate in accordance with the original provisions of SFAS No. 123, and (2) compensation cost for all share-based payments granted subsequent to January 1, 2006, based on the grant-date fair value estimate in accordance with the provision of SFAS No. 123. Results from prior periods have not been restated and do not include the impact of SFAS No. 123(R). Stock-based compensation expense under SFAS No. 123(R) for the first nine months of 2006 was $0, relating to employee and director stock options and our employee stock purchase plan. Stock-based compensation expense under the provision of APB No. 25 for the nine months of 2006 was insignificant. Stock-based compensation expense recognized each period is based on the value of the portion of share-based payment awards that is ultimately expected to vest during the period. SFAS No. 123(R) requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. In our pro forma disclosures required under SFAS No. 123 for periods prior to 2006, we accounted for forfeitures as they occurred. Upon adoption of SFAS No. 123(R), we elected to use the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing formula to value share-based payments granted to employees subsequent to January 1, 2006 and elected to attribute the value of stock-based compensation to expense using the straight-line single option method. These methods were previously used for our pro forma information required under SFAS No. 123. On November 10, 2005, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Staff Position No. FAS 123(R)-3, "Transition Election Related to Accounting for Tax Effects of Share-Based Payment Awards", which detailed an alternative transition method for calculating the tax effects of stock-based compensation pursuant to SFAS No. 123(R). This alternative transition method included simplified methods to establish the beginning balance of the additional paid-in capital pool (APIC pool) related to the tax effects of employee stock-based compensation and to determine the subsequent impact on the APIC pool and Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows of the tax effects of employee stock-based compensation awards that are outstanding upon adoption of SFAS No. 123(R). As all options outstanding have vested prior to December 31, 2005, we have not recorded the tax effects of employee stock-based compensation and have made no adjustments to the APIC pool. 7 DGSE COMPANIES, Inc. and Subsidiaries Prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R) tax benefits of deductions resulting from the exercise of stock options were required to be presented as operating cash flows in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. SFAS No. 123(R) requires the cash flows resulting from the tax benefits resulting from tax deductions in excess of the compensation cost recognized for those options (excess tax benefits) to be classified as financing cash flows. As there have been no stock options exercised, we have not reported these excess tax benefits as of September 30, 2006. Effective January 1, 2006, we adopted the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123(R) for all share based payment awards to employees and directors including employee stock options granted under our employee stock option plan. As all options outstanding have vested prior to December 31, 2005, no stock based compensation expense has been recorded as of September 30, 2006. The following table presents the effect on net income and net income per share compared with pro forma information as if we had adopted SFAS No. 123 for the periods ended September 30, Three Months Ended September 30, 2006 2005 -------------- -------------- Net earnings as reported .................................. $ 108,096 $ 91,554 Less stock-based compensation under the fair value method . -- -- -------------- -------------- Pro forma net earnings .................................... $ 108,096 $ 91,554 Earnings per share: Basic and diluted earnings per common share, as reported $ 0.02 $ 0.02 Basic and diluted earnings per common share, pro forma . $ 0.02 $ 0.02 Nine Months Ended September 30, 2006 2005 -------------- -------------- Net earnings as reported .................................. $ 527,347 $ 321,447 Less stock-based compensation under the fair value method . -- -- -------------- -------------- Pro forma net earnings .................................... $ 527,347 $ 321,447 Earnings per share: Basic and diluted earnings per common share, as reported $ 0.11 $ 0.06 Basic and diluted earnings per common share, pro forma . $ 0.11 $ 0.06 (7) New Accounting Pronouncements On July 13, 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes: an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (FIN 48). FIN 48 clarifies Statement 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, to indicate the criteria that an individual tax position would have to meet for some or all of the benefit of that position to be recognized in an entity's financial statements. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The Company is currently evaluating the requirements under FIN 48 and the effect, if any, that the adoption of FIN 48 will have on our consolidated financial statements, statement of cash flows or earnings per share. In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS 157 Fair Value Measurements, which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The provisions of SFAS 157 are effective as of the beginning of our 2008 fiscal year. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting SFAS 157 on our financial statements.

Jewelry and other inventory is valued at lower-of-cost-or-market (specific identification). Bullion inventory is valued at lower-of-cost-or-market (average cost). Accounts Receivable. We record trade receivables when revenue is recognized. No product has been consigned to customers. Our allowance for doubtful accounts is primarily determined by review of specific trade receivables. Those accounts that are doubtful of collection are included in the allowance. These provisions are reviewed to determine the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts. Trade receivables are charged off when there is certainty as to their being uncollectible. Trade receivables are considered delinquent when payment has not been made within contract terms. Revenue Recognition. Sales revenue consists of direct sales to customers for jewelry, rare coins and bullion. Sales are recognized when title and risk of loss have passed to the customer, which is generally at the point-of-sale. Provisions for discounts and rebates to customers and returns, bad debts, and other adjustments are provided in the period the related sales are recorded. Pawn loans ("loans") are made with the collateral of tangible personal property for one month with an automatic 60-day extension period. Pawn service charges are recorded at the time of redemption at the greater of $15 or the actual interest accrued to date. If the loan is not repaid, the principal amount loaned plus accrued interest (or the fair value of the collateral, if lower) becomes the carrying value of the forfeited collateral ("inventories") which is recovered through sales to customers. Results of Operations Nine Months Ended September 30, 2006 compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2005 Sales increased by $11,094,848, or 54.2%, during the nine months ended September 30, 2006 as compared to 2005. This increase was primarily the result of a $7,581,000, or 136.9%, increase in bullion sales, a $1,095,000, or 11.2%, increase in retail jewelry sales, a $813,000, or 27.4%, increase in wholesale jewelry sales and a $1,764,000, or 93.1%, increase in the sale of rare coin products. The increase in both retail and wholesale jewelry sales were due to higher gold prices and improved activity from our customers. The increase in rare coin and bullion sales were the result of an increase in gold prices, increased volatility in the bullion market and the Company's increased focus on these segments of our business. Consumer loan service fees increased $48,073, or 18.7%, in 2006 due to an increase in pay day loans outstanding during the period. Cost of goods as a percentage of sales increased from 81.1% in 2005 to 85.6 % in 2006. This increase was due to the increase in rare coin and bullion revenue as a percentage of total sales. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $436,111, or 13.3%, during the nine months ended September 30, 2006 as compared to 2005. This increase was primarily due to an increase in staff and payroll related cost of $256,000, higher advertising cost of $105,000 and $75,000 in cost related to the new pay day loan stores. The increase in staff was necessary to maintain a high level of customer service as sales increased and the opening of three pay day loan stores. The increase in advertising was necessary in order to attract new customers in our local markets. Depreciation and amortization decreased by $29,527, or 21.4%, during 2006 due to certain assets becoming fully depreciated. Income taxes are provided at the corporate rate of 34% for both 2006 and 2005. Three Months Ended September 30, 2006 compared to Three Months Ended September 30, 2005 Sales increased by $2,368,207, or 33.2%, during the three months ended September 30, 2006 as compared to 2005. This increase was primarily the result of a $1,563,000, or 79.5%, increase in bullion sales, a $457,000, or 45.0%, increase in wholesale jewelry sales and a $409,000, or 55.9%, increase in the sale of rare coin products during the three months ended September 30, 2006 as compared to 2005. The overall increase in jewelry sales was due to higher gold prices and improved activity from our customers. The increase in rare coin and bullion sales were the result of an increase in gold prices, increased volatility in the bullion market and the Company's increased focus on these segments of our business. Consumer loan service fees increased $25,886, or 30.3%, in 2006 due to an increase in pay day loans outstanding during the period. Cost of goods as a percentage of sales increased from 81.9% in 2005 to 85.1% in 2006. This increase was due to the increase in rare coin and bullion revenue as a percentage of total sales. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $126,673, or 11.3%, during the three months ended September 30, 2006 as compared to 2005. This increase was primarily due to an increase in staff and payroll related cost of $42,000, higher advertising cost of $42,000 and $13,000 in cost related to the new pay day loan stores. The increase in staff was necessary to maintain a high level of customer service as sales increased and the opening of three pay day loan stores. The increase in advertising was necessary in order to attract new 10 DGSE COMPANIES, Inc. and Subsidiaries customers in our local markets. Depreciation and amortization decreased by $16,671, or 36.1%, during the three months ended September 30, 2006 as compared to 2005, due to certain assets becoming fully depreciated. Income taxes are provided at the corporate rate of 34% for both 2006 and 2005. Historically, changes in the market prices of precious metals have had a significant impact on both revenues and cost of sales in the rare coin and precious metals segments in which we operate. It is expected that due to the commodity nature of these products, future price changes for precious metals will continue to be indicative of our performance in these business segments. Changes in sales and cost of sales in the retail and wholesale jewelry segments are primarily influenced by the national economic environment. It is expected that this trend will continue in the future due to the nature of these product. Liquidity and Capital Resources We expect capital expenditures to total approximately $100,000 during the next twelve months. It is anticipated that these expenditures will be funded from working capital and its credit facility. As of September 30, 2006 there were no commitments outstanding for capital expenditures. In the event of significant growth in retail and or wholesale jewelry sales, the demand for additional working capital will expand due to a related need to stock additional jewelry inventory and increases in wholesale accounts receivable. Historically, vendors have offered us extended payment terms to finance the need for jewelry inventory growth and our management believes that we will continue to do so in the future. Any significant increase in wholesale accounts receivable will be financed under our bank credit facility. Our ability to finance our operations and working capital needs are dependent upon management's ability to negotiate extended terms or refinance its debt. We have historically renewed, extended or replaced short-term debt as it matures and management believes that we will be able to continue to do so in the near future. From time to time, we have adjusted our inventory levels to meet seasonal demand or in order to meet working capital requirements. Management is of the opinion that if additional working capital is required, additional loans can be obtained from individuals or from commercial banks. If necessary, inventory levels may be adjusted or a portion of our investments in marketable securities may be liquidated in order to meet unforeseen working capital requirements. On July 17, 2006 we announced that we had executed a definitive agreement to acquire all of the issued and outstanding stock of Superior Galleries, Inc. in a transaction valued at $ 14,000,000. As of September 30, 2006 we have incurred $265,000 in legal and other costs related to this acquisition. We expect to incur an additional $150,000 in legal and other costs related to this transaction before closing. For additional information on liquidity see our Form 8-K filed on July 17, 2006.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk. The following discussion about our market risk disclosures involves forward-looking statements. Actual results could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements. We are exposed to market risk related to changes in interest rates and gold values. We are also exposed to regulatory risk in relation to its payday loans. We do not use derivative financial instruments. 11 DGSE COMPANIES, Inc. and Subsidiaries Our earnings and financial position may be affected by changes in gold values and the resulting impact on pawn lending and jewelry sales. The proceeds of scrap sales and our ability to liquidate excess jewelry inventory at an acceptable margin are dependent upon gold values. The impact on our financial position and results of operations of a hypothetical change in gold values cannot be reasonably estimated. Item 4. Controls and Procedures. Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures. An evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report.

Based on that evaluation, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective. Changes in internal controls. For the quarter ended September 30, 2006, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
