OPERATING EXPENSES
Selling and Shipping
Selling and shipping expenses for the quarter ended March 26, 2004 were $366,539 as compared to $195,768 for the quarter ended March 28, 2003. The increase of $170,771 or 87.2% for the period is primarily attributable to an increase in staff, advertising and travel expenses. EHC’s shipping and selling expenses for the quarter ended March 26, 2004 were $230,641 compared to $143,750 for the quarter ended March 28, 2003.

The increase was attributed to increased staff expenses and professional fees.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company’s liquidity needs arise from working capital requirements, capital expenditures, and principal and interest payments. Historically, the Company’s primary source of liquidity has been cash flow generated internally from operations. The Company’s cash increased to $826,750 on March 26, 2004 from $592,935on December 26, 2003.
Cash flow provided by operating activities was $170,747for the quarter ended March 26, 2004 on net income of $196,607.The increase in accounts receivable is the result of increased sales to the DSCP. The net increase in inventory results from a build up of government products the offset by a reserve of approximately $36,000 for obsolete inventory. The increase in prepaid expenses and other current assets is a result of the additional deposits placed and costs associated with tooling and production orders in process that were not completed at March 26, 2004. Cash used in investing activities for the quarter ended March 26, 2004 was $20,585, which consisted of cash for the purchase of computer equipment.
Net cash provided by financing activities for the quarter ended March 26, 2004 was $83,653.Cash of $ 121,679 was used to make principal payments on loans payable and $9,390 was used to make capital lease repayments. Additionally, the Company drew down approximately $215,000 from the line of credit.

On July 29, 2003, the Company closed on a Revolving Line of Credit (“the line”) with People’s Bank with a maximum amount of borrowing of up to $1,500,000. Under the revolving line agreement the Company will be required to meet certain financial covenants. The line matures May 31, 2004 and bears annual interest at the Bank’s prime rate plus one percent (1%), payable monthly. The lines availability will vary based on eligibility of accounts receivable and inventory. In February 2004, the Company initiated discussions with People’s Bank to renew the line of credit. The Bank has expressed interest in extending the line.
As of March 26, 2004, the Company has a $1,500,000 revolving line of credit with People’s Bank expiring on May 31, 2004. The Company has initiated discussions with the Bank to renew the line. Management believes that it has adequate cash and cash equivalents to pay off the line should the Bank decide not to renew, there is no assurance that the line will be renewed. The line’s outstanding balance is $1,037,899 as of March 26, 2004, which has subsequently been reduced to $670,322 at April 30, 2004.
The Company has a current contract with the Defense Supply Center Philadelphia (“DSCP“) which will expire in June 2004. The Company is in discussions with the Government to renew the contract. The Company has responded to DSCP’s initial survey. The sales to DSCP approximated 58% of the total Company’s sales in 2003 and for the quarter ended March 26, 2004. If the revolving line of credit and the government contract are not renewed, management will provide savings to the Company through the reduction of overhead. In addition, management plans to further increase its outsourcing to China for products not sold to the U.S. government, which will significantly reduce the Company’s manufacturing costs of products.
Management has projected its net cash flows through March 25, 2005, estimating that as a result of the overhead and product cost reductions, expected new customers, potential repayment of the line of credit and potential loss of the government contract the Company should have a positive cash balance as of March 25, 2005. While there can be no assurances, management believes that its cash on hand and expected cash flows will provide adequate cash flow to fund the Company’s operations at least through March 25, 2005.

ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION
On April 5, 2004, the Company received Solicitation Number SP0500-04-R-0062 from the Defense Supply Center Philadelphia. This solicitation is designed to place all Federal Supply Class 5355 competitive items under one or more Indefinite Quantity Contracts. This procurement is being solicited on the basis of being totally set aside for small business. The solicitation covers 2641 National Stock Number (NSN) items. Responses are required to be submitted by May 17, 2004. A date for the reward of the contract is unspecified; however, the existing DSCP contract that covers these items will expire on June 21, 2004.
Management has analyzed the solicitation and believes that EHC is uniquely qualified to fulfill the requirements specified by DSCP. Management also believes that EHC is the only small business that has both extensive experience with managing these NSN’s and the capability to immediately satisfy delivery, customer service, and quality requirements in the solicitation. We estimate the value of the contract to be up to $5 million per year. The Company is preparing our response with the assistance of two consultants that have a great deal of government contracting experience.
