ITEM 2 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations
Net Sales
Net sales for the three months ended March 31, 1998 compared to the same period
in 1997 increased by $188,788, or 33.5%. Management attributes this to
increased demand by the dental industry for dental equipment containing Vicon's
fiber optic components and to a significantly larger customer base for the
Fantasia lamp line.
Cost of Sales
Cost of sales for the three months ended March 31, 1998 increased to 59% as
compared to 57% for the same period in 1997. Management attributes this to a
higher proportion of Fantasia lamp sales that results in higher cost of sales
than the Dental products.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended March
31, 1998 increased to $218,428 from $174,222 for the three months ended March
31, 1997. Management attributes this to increased marketing expenses for the
Fantasia lamp line and increased general and administrative expenses required
to administer the increased sales.
