MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL

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 June 30, 2020.2023. The following statements may be forward looking in nature and actual results may differ materially.

 

A.RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

REVENUES: Total revenues from sales decreasedincreased to $585,206 for the first six-months of 2023 as compared to $416,892 forin the second quarter of 2022, as compared to $457,003 in the second quarter of 2021, reflecting a decrease of 8.8%. Management believes the decrease in sales revenues is due to the impact of supply chain delays to materials needed by our customers to compete projects. Year to date total revenues from sales increased to $889,035 in 2022 as compared to $881,779 in 2021, reflecting an increase of 0.8%40.4%. Management believes the increase in sales revenues is due to the companyincrease in customer demand. Year to date total revenues from sales increased to $890,295 in 2023 as compared to $889,035 in 2022, reflecting an increase of 0.1%. Management believes the increase in sales revenues is due to the Company’s 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 monthsix-month periods ended June 30, 20222023 and 20212022 are as follows:

Item 4.1. Controls and Procedures

 

An evaluation has been performed under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Accounting Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and the operation of our "disclosure controls and procedures" (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of June 30, 2022.2023. Based on thisthat evaluation, our Chief Executive Officerprincipal executive officer and Chiefour principal financial officer concluded that the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2023.

The design of any system of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions, regardless of how remote. However, management believes that our system of disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide a reasonable level of assurance that the objectives of the system will be met.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial OfficerReporting

There have determined that there was a material weakness affectingnot been any changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and as a result of15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) during the most recent fiscal quarter that weakness,have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of June 30, 2022.

12 

The material weakness is as follows:

We did not maintain effective controls to ensure appropriate segregation of duties as the same officer and employee was responsible for the initiating and recording of transactions, thereby creating segregation of duties weaknesses. Due to the (1) significance of segregation of duties to the preparation of reliableinternal control over financial statements; (2) the significance of potential misstatement that could have resulted due to the deficient controls; and, (3) the absence of sufficient other mitigating controls; we determined that this control deficiency resulted in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement or lack of disclosure within the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected.reporting.

  

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

There have not been any changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) during the most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
