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
condensed consolidated results of operations and financial condition. The
discussion should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated
financial statements and notes thereto.
Results of Operations
Sales
- -----
Revenues for the three months ended October 31, 1999 ("1999 Three Months") were
$2,815,805 compared with $1,096,232 for the three months ended October 31, 1998
("1998 Three Months"). The increase in revenues was a result of the successful
introduction of the new CYP machine technology. The Company developed new
cutting attachments that allow customers to produce cut pile, level loop,
high-low loop, and cut loop product all on the same machine.
Cost of Sales
- -------------
Cost of sales was $1,425,420 for the 1999 Three Months, or 51% of sales,
compared with $704,403 for the 1998 Three Months, or 64% of sales. The Company
has continued its efforts to reduce the cost of the parts on the CYP machines
and has improved the efficiency in building machines as well.
Operating Expenses
- ------------------
Operating expenses were $649,831 for the 1999 Three Months, or 23% of sales,
compared with $645,976 for the 1998 Three Months, or 59% of sales. Total
operating expenses remained approximately the same for comparable periods.
However, due to the increase in sales, the operating expenses as a percentage of
sales decreased dramatically.
Interest Expense
- ----------------
Interest expense was $40,966 for the 1999 Three Months compared to $235 for the
1998 Three Months. The increase was due to an increase in debt for the 1999
Three Months compared to the 1998 Three Months.
Income Tax Expense
- ------------------
The income tax provision is $0 due to utilization of the net operating loss
carry-forward to reduce current taxable income.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company's highly liquid assets (cash and cash equivalents) at October 31,
1999 aggregated $56,551, a decrease from the $685,328 balance at July 31, 1998.
Its working capital position at October 31, 1999 of $2,090,995 increased from
the comparable amount of $1,392,165 at July 31, 1999. The increase in working
capital resulted from an increase in accounts receivable due to the increase of
CYP machine sales.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
OPERATIONS - (Continued)
- ------------------------
Net cash used in operations for the 1999 Three Months was $722,790 compared to
net cash used in operations of $241,441 for the 1998 Three Months. Net cash
provided from financing activities for the 1999 Three Months totaled $94,013
compared with $48,527 for the 1998 Three Months.
The Company believes its current cash needs will be adequately provided from
anticipated cash generated from operations and short-term borrowings from its
lines of credit. As of October 31, 1999, the Company had available $102,073 on
its lines of credit. Long-term cash requirements, other than normal operating
expenses, depend on the Company's profitability, its ability to manage working
capital requirements, and its rate of growth.
Market Risk
- -----------
A review of the Company's financial instruments and risk exposures at October
31, 1999 revealed that the Company had exposure to foreign currency exchange
rate risks. At October 31, 1999, the Company had an outstanding debt denominated
in the Japanese Yen, which matures in February of 2001. As exchange rates vary,
the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows may vary
from expectations and overall expected earnings may be adversely impacted. The
effect of foreign exchange rate fluctuations on the Company during the 1999
Three Months was an expense of $80,936.
Year 2000 Compliance
- --------------------
The Company has conducted a review of its computer systems to identify the
systems that could be affected by the "year 2000 issue" and has substantially
developed an implementation plan to resolve such issues. The "year 2000 issue"
is the result of computer programs being written using two digits rather than
four to define the applicable year. Programs with this problem may recognize a
date using "00" as the year 1900 rather than the year 2000, resulting in system
failures or miscalculations. Although no assurance can be given, the Company
presently believes that with its modifications to existing software and
conversions to new software, the "year 2000 issue" will not pose significant
operational problems for the Company's computer systems as so modified and
converted and that the cost of such modifications and conversions will not have
a material impact on the Company's financial statements.
Forward-looking Statements for Purposes of "Safe Harbor" Under the Private
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
Securities Reform Act of 1995
- -----------------------------
The Company has made, and may continue to make, various forward-looking
statements with respect to its financial position, projected costs, projected
savings and plans and objectives of
11

TAPISTRON INTERNATIONAL, INC.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF

- ------------------------
management. Such forward-looking statements are identified by the use of
forward-looking words or phrases such as "anticipates," "intends," "expects,"
"plans," "believes," "estimates," or words or phrases of similar import. These
forward-looking statements are subject to numerous assumptions, risks, and
uncertainties, and the statements looking forward beyond October 31, 1999, are
subject to greater uncertainty because of the increased likelihood of changes in
underlying factors and assumptions. Actual results could differ materially from
those anticipated by the forward-looking statements.
The applicable risks and uncertainties include general economic and industry
conditions that affect all international businesses, as well as, matters that
are specific to the Company and the market it serves. Actual sales in Fiscal
2000 may be materially less than the sales projected in the forward-looking
statements if the Company's customers cancel or delay current orders or reduce
the rate at which the Company is building or expects to build CYP machines for
such customers. Such cancellations, delays or reductions may occur if there is a
substantial change in the general economy or if a customer were to experience
major financial difficulties. Margins may differ from those projected in the
forward-looking statements if management does not achieve success in improving
margins or other events occur that differ from the estimates used in preparing
the Company's financial statements.
In addition, all subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements
attributable to the Company or person acting on behalf of the Company are
expressly qualified in their entirety by reference to such factors.
The Company's forward-looking statements represent its judgement only on the
dates such statements are made. By making any forward-looking statements, the
Company assumes no duty to update them to reflect new, changed, or unanticipated
events or circumstances.
