by the earnings statements to be included in the subject report or portion
thereof?
|X| Yes |_| No
If so: attach an explanation of the anticipated change, both narratively
and quantitatively, and, if appropriate, state the reasons why a
reasonable estimate of the results cannot be made.
It is estimated that sales during the first quarter ended March 31, 2002
decreased by approximately 23.6% to approximately $1,283,000 compared with sales
of $1,679,232 for the same period in 2001. The decrease in sales was due
primarily to a general downturn in the economy. Additionally, we expect
increases in our cost of sales percentage and research and development expenses
as well as a decrease in our net earnings for the first quarter ended March 31,
2002 compared with the same period in 2001. See response to Part III above.
