(UNAUDITED)
(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
CASH - Includes Tech Labs' checking account at Hudson United Bank plus a money
market account at Prudential Securities.
ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE - Tech Labs recognizes sales when orders are shipped to
customers. The allowance for bad debts is accrued based on a review of customer
accounts receivables aging.
INVENTORIES - Inventories are valued at cost or market, whichever is lower. The
FIFO cost method is generally used to determine the cost of the inventories. At
December 31, 1997, 1998 and 1999 physical inventories were taken and tested. No
physical inventory was taken on September 30, 2000.
PROPERTY AND DEPRECIATION - Additions to property and equipment are recorded at
cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated
useful lives of the assets as follows:
ASSETS ESTIMATED USEFUL LIVES
Machinery 5 to 7 years
Furniture & Fixtures 5 to 7 years
Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. The cost of
betterments is capitalized and depreciated at appropriate rates. Upon retirement
or other disposition of property items, cost and accumulated depreciation are
removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is reflected in the statement of
income.
INCOME TAXES - Income tax expense is based on reported income and deferred tax
credit is provided for temporary differences between book and taxable income.
MARKETABLE SECURITIES - The marketable securities are recorded at the lower of
cost or market. The cost of securities was $61,453 at December 31, 1999 and
September 30, 2000.

Certain contractural revenues were pledged to secure these loans. As of
September 30, 2000, $150,000 of such loans were repaid.
(7) Common Stock
In 1999, Tech Labs filed a registration statement with respect to a
self-underwritten public offering to raise between $2,000,000 (minimum) and

proceeds of $2,273,723.
(8) Subsequent Event

convertible promissory notes due October 15, 2002. Interest is payable quarterly
in cash or in shares of common stock at the option of the noteholders. Under the
terms of the financing the investors have agreed to invest an additional
$500,000 upon the effectiveness of a registration statement registering the
shares underlying the convertible notes and warrants and the satisfaction of
certain other conditions. The Company has disclosed all terms of this financing

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS.
The information contained in this section should be used in conjunction with the
consolidated Financial Statements and Notes therewith appearing in this report
Form 10QSB and the company's Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 1999.
Quarter ending September 30, 2000, Compared to Quarter Ending September 30,
1999.
Sales were $265,453 for the third quarter of 2000 as compared to $315,142
for the similar period of 1999. This decrease was due to a reduction in sales of
our less profitable mechanical electrical switching devices.
Cost of sales of $135,840 for the third quarter of the year 2000 decreased
by $86,551 compared to the same period last year, primarily due to volume
declines in our more costly products.
Selling, general, and administrative expenses increased by $56,096 compared
to the same period in 1999 due to expenses associated with issuing convertible
debentures required to fund our new product development. These debentures were
issued in the fourth quarter of 2000.
Income from operations increased by $1,776.
Quarter Ending September 30, 2000, Compared to Year Ending December 31,
1999.
SIGNIFICANT CHANGES
In the third quarter of the year 2000, the company continued to reverse
several negative trends.
Sales of our more profitable IDS sensors continued to increase.
Cash Flow for the first nine months of 2000 was positive at $1,299,395 as a
result of the completion of the company's self-underwritten public offering on
May 3, 2000.
