NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
GENERAL
The interim financial statements have been prepared by Cable Link, Inc. (the
Registrant) without an audit and, in the opinion of the management, reflect all
adjustments of a normal recurring nature necessary for a fair statement of the
financial position of the Registrant as of September 30, 1997; the results of
operations for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 1997 and
1996; and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 1997. Interim
results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year.
The balance sheet as of December 31, 1996 has been derived from the financial
statements that have been audited by the Registrant's independent public
accountants. The financial statements and notes are condensed as permitted by
Form 10-QSB and do not contain certain information included in the annual
financial statements and notes of the Registrant. The financial statements and
notes included herein should be read in conjunction with the financial
statements and notes included in the Registrant's annual report.
COMMON STOCK
On January 8, 1997, the Registrant entered into an agreement with another entity
(the Buyer) to purchase 165,000 shares of common stock of the Registrant and
warrants to purchase an additional 165,000 shares of common stock for $200,000.
The warrants are fully vested and may be exercised in increments of 1,000
shares. The warrants have been separated into four groups of 25,000 shares each
with exercise prices of $2.25, $2.75, $3.25 and $3.75. The expiration dates for
these four warrant groups are six months, six months, nine months and nine
months after January 8, 1997, the effective date of the offering. The warrants
issued are transferrable by the Buyer under any manner that is in compliance
with all applicable security laws. In July 1997, 82,500 warrants were exercised
at an average price of $1.51 per share.
The Registrant declared a 3 for 2 stock split on January 21, 1997 and a 10%
stock dividend on August 1, 1997.
On September 19, 1997, the Registrant filed a Form 10-SB to register its common
stock under Section 12(g) of The Securities Act of 1934 and an amendment thereto
on November 17, 1997. The Form 10-SB became effective November 18, 1997.
NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In March 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 128 "Earnings per Share." SFAS No. 128
establishes standards for computing and presenting earnings per share and
applies to entities with publicly held common stock. This statement is effective
for fiscal years ending after December 15, 1997 and early adoption is not
permitted. When adopted, the statement will require restatement of prior years'
earnings per share. The Registrant will adopt this statement for the year ending
December 31, 1997. The effect of adopting this standard on earnings per share is
not expected to materially affect earnings per share.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
The following information is provided as an optional disclosure pursuant to
Item 5 of Part II.
Result of Operations
Net sales
Net sales for third quarter ending September 30, 1997 were $2,720,514 compared
to $1,822,359 for the third quarter ending September 30, 1996. This represents
an increase of 49% or $898,155 over the previous year. Sales for the nine
months ending September 30, 1997 were $7,574,049 versus $6,764,982 for
September 30, 1996. This represents an increase of 12% or $809,067 over the
previous year. The increase in sales is primarily due to an expanded customer
base and an increase in the company's repair and refurbishing business.
Cost of goods sold
The cost of goods sold decreased to 59.5% of sales in the third quarter of 1997
from 73.8% for the third quarter 1996. For the nine months ending September 30,
1997 the cost of goods sold decreased to 64% of sales compared to 65.6% of
sales for the nine months ending September 30,1996. The majority of the
reduction in cost of goods sold is production labor expenses. The production
labor costs declined in the third quarter as a percent of sales to 12.1% from
23.3% in comparison to last year's third quarter. The labor cost has decreased
to 13.9 percent of sales through the third quarter 1997 from 18.0 percent
through the same period in 1996. This decrease in labor cost is primarily the
result of a reduction in labor force as well as increased efficiencies and new
procedures that have led to improved productivity of employees.
Operating expenses
The operating expenses decreased to 24.4% of sales in the third quarter 1997
from 40.2% for third quarter 1996. In 1996 the operating expenses, as a percent
of sales were 33.3% for nine months ending September 30 and have decreased to
25.5% of sales for the nine months ending September 30,1997. The decrease was
due to a reduction in administrative personnel. Job procedures were implemented
which increased the efficiencies and reduced costs.
Income from operations
Income from operations increased to $437,075 or 16.1% of sales for the third
quarter ending September 30,1997 compared to a loss of ($254,833) in the third
quarter 1996. The income from operations increased to $785,442 or 10.4% of
sales for the first nine months ending September 30,1997 as compared to $77,444
or 1.1% of sales through the same period in 1996. Net income for the third
quarter of 1997 was $288,214 or $.18 per share versus a loss of ($239,674) or
($.17) per share for the third quarter of 1996. Per share earnings for the
nine months ending September 30, 1997 were $.37 versus $.02 ending September
30, 1996.
The company's increased profitability over the past nine months ending
September 30, 1997 has exhausted all net operating loss carryforward that was
generated from prior years. Through the first nine months in 1997 the company
has expensed $135,000 for federal, state and local taxes. As a result of a 12%
increase in sales and improved gross profit margin, and reduced costs the
company has generated earnings of $603,247 or 8.0% of sales through the first
nine months in 1997 as compared to $20,982 or 0.3% of sales the nine months
ending September 30, 1996.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The company finances its operations primarily through internally generated
funds and the bank line of credit. Bank borrowings decreased which resulted in
lower interest expense. As a result of the increase in sales, accounts
receivable increased $523,765 over the December 31, 1996 balance. Inventory
remained constant. As a result of improved cash flow, accounts payable
decreased $423,706. Accrued expenses increased $120,367 due to income taxes and
bonuses. Property and equipment purchases decreased in 1997 and are expected to
be below 1996 expenditures for the remainder of 1997.
The company declared a 10% stock dividend on August 1, 1997.
On January 8, 1997, the company entered into an agreement with another entity
(the Buyer) to purchase 165,000 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase
additional 165,000 shares of common stock for $200,000. As of September 30,
1997 the company has sold 165,000 shares and warrants to purchase 82,000 shares
were exercised for a total working capital of $325,000.
The company believes that its available financial resources are adequate to
meet its foreseeable working capital, debt service and capital expenditure
requirements.
