In March 2002, we issued warrants to purchase 25,000 shares of common stock to one individual for consulting services. The warrants are exercisable at $0.40 per share and expire in April 2007. The fair value of the consulting services is being charged to expense over the life of the contract. A consulting expense of $1,875 relating to these services was recognized for the six months ended April 30, 2002.

4. Business Segments
We have two reportable segments: water purification ("EDI/Membrane"), (formerly reported separately under "EDI" and "Membrane") and fluid monitoring ("MI", a start up segment). The EDI segment produces water treatment modules for sale to manufacturers of high purity water treatment systems. The Membrane segment formerly produced ion exchange membranes for outside customers for use in electrodialysis, electrodeionization, electrodeposition and general electrochemical separations. The MI segment is developing technology that is anticipated to enable real time identification of contamination in fluids.
Reportable segments are strategic business units that offer different products, are managed separately, and require different technology and marketing strategies. The accounting policies of the segments are those described in the summary of significant accounting policies in our audited financial statement included in our annual report on Form 10-KSB. We evaluate performance based on results from operations before income taxes and interest, net, excluding nonrecurring gains and losses.

5. Subsequent Events
On May 3, 2002, we borrowed $150,000 from our major shareholder for 60 days at 8% interest. Principal and accrued interest on the loan will be repaid from the proceeds of a loan to be secured from refinancing our building. We anticipate the building loan to be consummated by early June 2002.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
Certain of the statements contained herein, other than statements of historical fact, are forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements are based on current management expectations that involve substantial risks and uncertainties, which could cause actual results to differ materially from the results we expect. Potential risks and uncertainties that could affect our future operating results include, without limitation, economic, competitive and legislative developments.
Results of Operations
References to fiscal 2001 and fiscal 2002 are for the six months ended April 30, 2001 and 2002, respectively.
Net sales increased in fiscal 2002 by $442,037 as compared to fiscal 2001 which reflects the strong demand for our EDI products and an increased penetration of the expanding ultrapure water market. For the three months ended April 30, 2002, net sales increased by $27,956 over the comparable prior year period. Sales revenues were lower by 54% during the last three months of the quarter ended April 30, 2002 as compared to the first three months. We believe that the decrease results from the fiscal or quarterly budgeting cycles of the end-user of our products coupled with a general economic downturn.
Cost of sales consists primarily of purchased materials, labor and overhead (including depreciation) associated with product manufacturing, royalty costs, warranties and sustaining engineering expenses pertaining to products sold. Cost of sales as a percentage of sales decreased to 83% from 143% for the six months ended April 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively. This decrease is predominantly due to increased unit sales volume, which allowed for fixed costs to be allocated over a higher number of EDI products produced. The three months ended April 30, 2002 showed less of a dramatic decrease from 133% for the comparable period in fiscal 2001 to 95% in 2002 since we did not experience a sustained growth in sales volume during the current three month period. Cost of sales in fiscal 2001 was adversely impacted by expenses related to the underutilization of manufacturing capacity.
Research and development expenses for the three and six month periods ended April 30, 2002 increased by $8,638 and $217, respectively, compared to fiscal 2001. These expenses primarily arise from the program, which we initiated in December 1997, to develop the micro imaging technology for detecting and identifying contaminants in fluids. The increase in research and development expense in fiscal 2002 primarily reflects expenses associated with intellectual property patent filings.
Sales, general and administrative expenses decreased by $184,115 for the six months ended April 30, 2002 as compared to the same period in 2001. This reflects a decrease in financing expense of issuing options and warrants as compensation and from a reduction in consulting expenses compared to the prior year period. During the three months ended April 30, 2002, sales and general and administrative expenses increased by $96,908 compared to the prior year period due mainly from an increase in legal, accounting and consulting expenses as well as expenses associated with property taxes and depreciation of the building we purchased in 2001.
Interest income is generated from short-term investments and decreased by $1,617 and $3,451 for the three and six months ended April 30, 2002, respectively, as compared to the prior year periods. These decreases reflect a reduction in working capital available for investment purposes. Interest expense for the six months ended April 30, 2002 increased by $51,185 and decreased by $718 for the three months ended April 30, 2002, respectively, compared to the prior period primarily due to financing activities relating to the purchase of our building in January 2001.
8
Components of other income (expense), other than interest, decreased by $109,299 for the six months ended April 30, 2002 compared to the prior year period. The decrease consisted primarily of the $161,173 net gain on sale of hydro components assets in November 2000, partially offset by income from sublease of the building we purchased in January 2001.
We recorded the minimum state income tax provision in fiscal 2002 and 2001 as we had cumulative net operating losses in all tax jurisdictions.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At April 30, 2002, we had a working capital deficit of $21,569. This represents a working capital decrease of $61,149 compared to that reported at October 31, 2001. The decrease primarily reflects a decrease in accounts receivables principally due to a reduction in sales volume experienced during the three months ended April 30, 2002 from the prior quarter. Cash from the sale of common stock during the six months ended April 30, 2002 provided $550,000 in net proceeds which was utilized, in part, to increase inventories and reduce accounts payable and other current liabilities.
Our principal sources of working capital are cash generated from operations and from the sale of securities by private placement. During the six months ended April 30, 2002, we received $550,000 in proceeds from the issuance of 1,214,286 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase 200,000 shares of common stock.
Shipments of EDI products are made as promptly as possible after receipt of firm purchase orders in accordance with delivery requirements stipulated by the customer. As of April 30, 2002, we had accepted firm orders for delivery of unshipped EDI modules valued at over $76,000.
Plan of Operation
We are currently in the process of refinancing the building we purchased in January 2001 to both reduce the interest rate on the mortgage and to secure additional working capital. The loan will be guaranteed by our major shareholder and we anticipate concluding the refinancing arrangements by early June 2002.
In the opinion of management, available funds, funds anticipated to be realized on the refinancing of our building, and proceeds to be realized from the sale of EDI products currently on order, are expected to satisfy our working capital requirements through September 2002. Our independent auditor has included an explanatory paragraph in its report on the financial statements for the year ended October 31, 2001 which raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
In May 2000, we appointed an exclusive representative to sell our EDI products to original equipment manufacturers (OEM's) in Belgium, Luxembourg, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, France, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Greece, Hungary, Bulgaria, Romania, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Poland, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, and Finland. The arrangement also provides that this representative may sell EDI products to both end-users and OEM's located in The Netherlands. The appointment provides that our representative receive a commission on all EDI orders in the stated territories. We currently have a similar business arrangement with a second company granting non-exclusive commissionable sales rights in the Northeast United States. Agreements appointing sales representatives for Mexico and the People's Republic of China expired in April 2002.
Currently, we are seeking working capital through manufacturing arrangements, strategic partnerships, loans and/or the sale of private placement securities so that we may expand our EDI marketing efforts and further the MIT research program. This approach is intended to optimize the value of our EDI technology and the MIT System as we discuss licensing and/or joint venture arrangements with potential candidates. The implementation of these strategies will be dependent upon our ability to secure sufficient working capital in a timely manner.
9
We will be required to raise substantial amounts of new financing in the form of additional equity investments, loan financings, or from strategic partnerships, to carry out our business objectives. There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain additional financing on terms that are acceptable to us and at the time required by us, or at all. Further, any financing may cause dilution of the interests of our current shareholders. If we are unable to obtain additional equity or loan financing, our financial condition and results of operations will be materially adversely affected. Moreover, estimates of our cash requirements to carry out our current business objectives are based upon various assumptions, including assumptions as to our revenues, net income or loss and other factors, and there can be no assurance that these assumptions will prove to be accurate or that unbudgeted costs will not be incurred. Future events, including the problems, delays, expenses and difficulties frequently encountered by similarly situated companies, as well as changes in economic, regulatory or competitive conditions, may lead to cost increases that could have a material adverse effect on us and our plans. If we are not successful in obtaining loans or equity financing for future developments, it is unlikely that we will have sufficient cash to continue to conduct operations, particularly research and development programs, as currently planned. We believe that in order to raise needed capital, we may be required to issue debt at significantly higher interest rates or equity securities at selling prices that are significantly lower than the current market price of our common stock.
No assurances can be given that currently available funds will satisfy our working capital needs for the period estimated, or that we can obtain additional working capital through the sale of common stock or other securities, the issuance of indebtedness or otherwise or on terms acceptable to us. Further, no assurances can be given that any such equity financing will not result in a further substantial dilution to the existing shareholders or will be on terms satisfactory to us.
Item 1 omitted as not applicable.
