ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion and analysis provides information
which management believes is relevant to an assessment and
understanding of the Company's results of operations and financial
condition. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the
financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere herein.
a. Results of Operations
Net sales for the quarter ended January 31, 1998 were
$2,176,000 as compared to net sales of $1,623,000 for the quarter
ended January 31, 1997. The cost of sales was 46% as compared to 51%
for the comparable 1997 period. The decrease in cost of sales as a
percentage of net sales for the three months ended January 31, 1998 is
due to the increased markups on their new product line.
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three
months ended January 31, 1998 were $822,000 as compared to $800,000
for the same 1997 period. This was due to the increase in sales and
aggressive advertising.
As a result of the completion of the last research and
development project, expenses for the quarter ended January 31, 1998
were $156,000 as compared to $168,000 for the quarter ended January
31, 1997.
Other income for the three month period ended January 31, 1998
was $1,800 and was due to investment income. Royalty income for the
quarter ended January 31, 1998 was $41,700 as compared to $31,300 in
the comparable period ended January 31, 1997. This increase resulted
from ad additional royalty agreement in 1997.
b. Material Change in Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital
Resources
The Company's working capital decreased from $3,419,000 at
October 31, 1997 to $3,358,000 at January 31, 1998.
At January 31, 1998, the Company's capital resources and its
sources of liquidity was $269,000 in cash and cash equivalents.
Management does not believe that a return of inflation will
have a material adverse effect on the Company's operations because it
believes that the Company will be able to increase its selling prices
to reflect most increases in its cost.
