A.RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

REVENUES: Total revenues from sales decreasedincreased to $416,892$487,160 for the secondthird quarter of 2022 as compared to $457,003$256,069 in the secondthird quarter of 2021, reflecting a decreasean increase of 8.8%90.2%. Management believes the decreaseincrease in sales revenues is due to the impactimprovement of supply chain delays todeliveries   of materials needed by our customers to compete projects. Year to date total revenues from sales increased to $889,035$1,376,195 in 2022 as compared to $881,779$1,137,848 in 2021, reflecting an increase of 0.8%20.9%. Management believes the increase in sales revenues is due the companyCompany increased inventory level and the 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.

A percentage breakdown of the Company’s market segments of Domestic and Foreign Export sales for the threethree- and six monthnine-month periods ended JuneSeptember 30, 2022, and 2021 are as follows:
