Summary of Significant Accounting Policies The accompanying financial statements, which should be read in conjunction with the financial statements of TVI Corporation ("the Company") included in the 1999 Annual Report filed on Form 10-KSB, are unaudited but have been prepared in the ordinary course of business for the purpose of providing information with respect to the interim period. The Company believes that all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation for such periods have been included. 	The company considers its Accounts Receivable to be fully collectible, and no allowance for doubtful accounts has been recorded. 	No accrual has been made for compensated absences because unused amounts of leave do not vest and are not paid upon termination of employment. Note 2. Long Term Debt Long term debt includes matured promissory notes $236,702 of which $172,500 is principal and the balance accrued interest as of December 1998. The notes were issued as part of an embezzlement scheme in 1993 and matured in December 1998. Additional accrued interest on the notes in the amount of $20,974 is carried as a current liability. Most of the original notes have been exchanged for common stock, and the company expects that the remaining debt will be exchanged also. 	Long term debt also includes $10,879 in pre-bankruptcy state taxes which is being paid off on an installment basis without interest. Note 3. Inventory Inventories at September 30, 2000 and 1999 consisted of the following: September 30, 2000 September 30, 1999 Finished Goods $ 83,601 $ 26,955 Raw Materials 698,394 604,924 __________ ________ Total $ 781,995 $631,879 TVI CORPORATION MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS September 30, 2000 Liquidity and Capital Resources The Company's working capital increased significantly for the first nine months of 2000 as compared to the same period in 1999. The increase in working capital was due to the increased amount of operating profit and receipt of cash from sale of the company's interest in another company. Additionally, a debt of $55,000 was exchanged for the company's common stock. While significant amounts of net income were used to pay off debt, increase inventory, and purchase some equipment, cash on hand increased by about $260,000 for the nine month period. During the period the company paid off about $25,000 in deferred salary. It also repaid all of the loans and interest from the president amounting to about $146,000. The company had at the beginning of the period a tax loss carry-forward of $7.4 million, and recorded no income tax obligation. The company's capital expenditures for the period were $40 thousand. The company needs and intends to make additional investments in equipment to increase capacity and productivity. Results of Operations Net sales for the first nine months of 2000 were $2,417,050, an increase of 87% over sales of $1,288,956 for the same period in 1999. There was an increase in sales in all three quarters of the period over the same periods in 1999. The increase in sales was due to substantially increased sales in the company's Public Safety products and its Hospitality and Promotion products. Sales of Thermal Target products were slightly higer, while sales of Tactical Shelters were lower. 	Cost of Goods increased due to higher sales volume. Gross margin for the period was 48.3% as compared to 49.7% for the 1999 period. The decrease was due to inclusion of a sub-contract in the third quarter which carried a lower mark-up. The cost of aluminum tubes increased about 22% on July 1, and average hourly wage was slightly higher. The company's waste and inventory adjustments were also slightly higher in current period. 	Selling, General,and Administrative expense increased to $632,138 for the 2000 period from $491,800 in the 1999 period. The 28.5% increase was due to several factors associated with increased sales volume such as marketing costs, sales commissions, insurance premiums, and production payroll taxes. Net income for the first nine months of 2000 increased to $622,566, an increase of 171% over income of $229,457 for 1999. Both periods include extraordinary income of $105,000 received from recovery and sale of company assets. Interest expense for the first nine months decreased to $18,000 from $24,000 in the prior period. The reduction was due to repayment of debt during the period.
