ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR PERIOD ENDED MARCH 31, 1998
For the quarter ended March 31, 1998, the Company had revenues of $10,491,792
compared to revenues of $8,564,846 for the quarter ended March 31, 1997. The
increase in revenues resulted primarily from the additional revenues generated
from internal growth. The net income for the three months ended March 31, 1998
was $246,430 or $.11 per share, compared to a net income of $132,755 or $.06 per
share, for the three months ended March 31, 1997. The net income for the
quarter ended March 31, 1998 was primarily impacted by increased gross margin
from the increased revenue.
Company's 90 day order backlog was $7,900,000 as of March 31, 1998, compared to
$7,687,000 at the beginning of the quarter. Based on the current conditions,
the Company anticipates revenue levels in the second quarter of 1998 to be
slightly higher than the first quarter of 1998.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES.
The Company's working capital increased to $10,735,317 during the first quarter
of 1998, compared to $9,670,225 as of December 31, 1997. The Company believes
that its financial stability will continue to improve during 1998 and would
expect that its operating cash flow and available credit faculities will be
sufficient to fund the expected growth in the near term.
