ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Results of Operations:
In the first quarter of fiscal 1996 the Company reported a net loss of
$249,000 or $0.02 per share as compared to a net loss of $360,000 or $0.04
per share in the prior year and a net loss of $758,000 for the prior
quarter. Contributing factors to reduced losses were gains in sales and the
sale of the Company's property in San Diego. Gross margins continue at
anticipated levels.
Net sales for the quarter increased $752,000 over the prior year due in part
to the Company's acquisition of it's Kansas City subsidiary, a national
provider of statistical inventory reconciliation services. The Company's
sales depend in part upon its customer's decision as to when to implement
measures to meet 1998 compliance requirements. The Company believes that
the market for its services may accelerate as compliance deadlines approach.
Financial Condition and Liquidity:
The Company has historically relied upon shareholder capital to fund
operational deficits and expects to continue funding any operating deficits
through equity infusions in fiscal 1997. The Company is in the process of
negotiating an equity financing arrangement expected to net funds in excess
of amounts required to adequately finance operations and expansion plans.
If the Company does not obtain adequate equity financing, management plans
to recommend to the Company's Board of Directors that the Company divest
certain subsidiaries or assets, and severely curtail operating expenses in
order to finance its ongoing environmental monitoring software business.
