The 2002 six-month period showed a 77% increase in net sales over the comparable period in 2001. Gross loss decreased about $30,000 between comparable quarters, and about $34,000 between six-month periods. Cost of sales as a percentage of net sales improved to 138% from 159% for the second quarter of 2001, and from 138% for the first 2002 six-months versus 169% for the comparable 2001 period. The cost of sales in the second 2002 quarter as a percentage of net sales was the same as the first quarter of fiscal 2002, but is expected to improve over time as production inefficiencies are corrected, the phase-in of the in-house die cutting process is completed and other measures are effected. Net loss decreased by $154,301 between comparative quarters, to approximately $3,655,740 in the 2002 quarter, and from $7,961,948 to $7,462,792 between comparative six month periods. The fiscal 2002 periods as against the comparable 2001 periods also showed (quarterly comparisons outside of parenthesis, and six month comparisons within parenthesis): general and administrative expenses down 18% (up 11%), selling expenses down 2% (down 16%), and research and development down 6% (down 50%), depreciation and amortization up 67% (up 81%), and interest expenses down .4% (up 14%).
