CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION
Management's discussion and analysis is intended to be read in conjunction with the Company's unaudited financial statements and the integral notes thereto for the quarter ended March 31,September 30, 2022.

Management believes the increase in sales revenues is due to the improvement of supply chain deliveries of materials needed by our customers to compete projects. Year to date total revenues from sales increased product demand fromto $1,376,195 in 2022 as compared to $1,137,848 in 2021, reflecting an increase of 20.9%. Management believes the Domestic market duringincrease in sales revenues is due the first quarter of 2022 when compared withCompany increased inventory level and the same quarter of 2021.ability to ship orders in a timely manner.
The Company's revenues have historically fluctuated from quarter to quarter due to timing factors such as product shipments to customers, customer order placement, customer buying trends, and changes in the general economic environment. The procurement process regarding plant and project automation, or project development, which usually surrounds the decision to purchase ESTeem products, can be lengthy. This procurement process may involve bid activities unrelated to the ESTeem products, such as additional systems and subcontract work, as well as capital budget considerations on the part of the customer. Because of the complexity of this procurement process, forecasts with regard to the Company's revenues are difficult to predict.
During the three month period ending March 31, 2022, orders have not been impacted by COVID-19. We are experiencing some disruptions in the supply chain, but at this point do not see it having a material impact on sales.
A percentage breakdown of the Company’s market segments of Domestic and Foreign Export sales for the first quarter ofthree- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2022, and 2021 are as follows:
