Three Months Ended March 31,
2001 2000
Assuming no dilution
Common Stock Outstanding
April 30, 2001 9,632,561 9,632,561
Shares held in Treasury 16,445 16,445
Total Shares Authorized 12,000,000 12,000,000
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation.
For the three months ended March 31, 2001, the Company
recorded sales of $503,009 compared to $610,976 for the three
months ended March 31, 2000.
In the 1st Quarter of the year 2001 decreases in sales
continued. This sales trend contributed significantly
towards a loss in revenue in Q1 of 2001. The Company
believes that this decrease in sales was due to downward
trends in the National economy and not due to any changes in
the Company's products or it's marketing of same. Should the
trend continue into Q2, corrective action would be warranted
to bring expenses more in line with sales.
At March 31, 2001 the Company had a backlog of $36,102
compared to $43,938 at March 31, 2000.
Cost of sales as a percentage of sales increased to 84% from
75% for the three months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000,
respectively. This is mainly due to New Product Development
expense, lower sales then expected and lower margins on some
products sold, mostly in the overseas market.
For the period of three months ended March 31, 2001, selling
and general and administrative expenses decreased by $49,301
over the period of three months ended March 31, 2000. This
was mainly due to a decrease in the sales force during the
4th quarter of 2000.
