Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2001, the Company recorded sales of
$1.914,574 compared to $1,964,782 for the nine months ended September 30, 2000.
In the 3rd Quarter of the year 2001 sales increased by 32% compared to the 2nd
quarter of the year. The increase in sales contributed significantly towards a
net profit of $83K in Q3 of 2001. The Company believes that this increase in
sales was due to a slight upturn in the National economy and not due to any
changes in the Company's products or it's marketing of same.
At September 30, 2001 the Company had a backlog of $110,959 compared to $62,013
at September 30, 2000.
Cost of sales as a percentage of sales decreased to 68% from 72% for the nine
months ended September 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively. This is mainly due to
a reduction in direct labor and higher margins on products sold.
For the period of nine months ended September 30, 2001, selling and general
and administrative expenses decreased by $121,688 over the period of nine
months ended September 30, 2000. This was mainly due to a decrease in the
sales force during the 4th quarter of 2000 and a reduction in advertising
expenses.
