MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The following information contains certain forward looking statements that anticipate future trends or events. These statements are based on certain assumptions that may prove to be erroneous and are subject to certain risks including but not limited to the risks of increased competition in the Company's industry and other risks detailed in the Company's Securities and Exchange Commission filings. Accordingly, actual results may differ, possibly materially, from the predictions contained herein. During the three months ended March 31st 2001, the Company experienced a net after tax income of $100,994 as compared to income of $27,093 for the three months ended March 31st 2000. The increase was due to a significant expansion of operations which began in the fourth quarter of 2000 and continued through the first quarter of 2001. During this period the Company hired additional personnel, expanded corporate headquarters and increased production. The overall result was a net income of $100,994. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Reference is made to Item 2, "Management's Discussion and Analysis" included in the Company's registration statement on Form 10-SB for the year ended December 31st 1999, as amended, on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission and to the same section of the Company's 10K-SB for the period ended Dec. 31st 2000 on file with the Securities and exchange Commission. The following analysis and discussion pertains to the Company's results of operations for the three month period ended March 31st 2001, compared to the results of operations for the three month period ended March 31st 2000, and to changes in the Company's financial condition from December 31st 2000 to March 31st 2001. THREE MONTHS ENDED March 31st 2001 and 2000 For the first quarter of the current fiscal year ending March 31st 2001, sales were $351,447 compared to $260,328 for the same quarter of the previous year. The increase in sales were as a result of our distributors selling to more retail outlets in more geographic areas and selling larger quantities to older accounts. Operating expenses were $75,799 for the first quarter, up from $66,978 for the first quarter of last year. This is as a result of increased costs in all categories of expenses due to the significant expansion in sales. The largest increases were in the areas of administrative salaries and benefits (13,164), travel (8,454) and stock promotion (5,471). The net income for the quarter was $100,994 which represents a substantial increase over first quarter last year when the net income was $27,093. The increase in income was a result of increased sales, and lower cost of sales. The earnings per share (fully diluted) was $0.01 for the three months ended March 31st 2001 compared to $0.00 for the three months ended March 31st 2000. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Historically, the Company has financed it's cash flow requirements through retained earnings from sales. Cash provided by net earnings which occurred during the three months ended March 31st was $100,994 This resulted in a total cash and cash equivalent position of $60,579 at the end of the period. As of March 31st 2001 the Company had working capital of $486,938 which represented an increase of $200,211 as compared to the working capital of March 31st 2000. The increase was a result of retained earnings from the second, third and fourth quarters of 2000 and the first quarter of 2001. The Company has no external sources of liquidity in the form of credit lines from banks. Management believes that its available cash will be sufficient to fund the Company's working capital requirements through December 31st 2001. Management further believes that available cash will be sufficient to implement the Company's expansion plans. No investment banking agreements are in place and there is no guarantee that the Company will be able to raise capital in the future should that become necessary. IMPACT OF THE YEAR 2000 ISSUE The year 2000 issue arises because many computerized systems use two digits rather than four to identify a year. Date sensitive systems may recognize the year 2000 as 1900 or some other date, resulting in errors when information using year 2000 dates is processed. In addition, similar problems may arise in some systems which use certain dates in 1999 to represent something other than a date. Although the change in date has occurred, it is not possible to conclude that all aspects of the year 2000 issue that may affect the company including those related to customers, suppliers, or other third parties, have been fully resolved. ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISKS: The Company does not have any derivative financial instruments as of March 31st 2001. However, the Company is exposed to interest rate risk. The Company's interest income and expense are most sensitive to changes in the general level of U.S. and Canadian interest rates. In this regard, changes in U.S. and Canadian interest rates affect the interest paid on the Company's cash equivalents as well as the interest paid on debt. FOREIGN CURRENCY RISK The Company operates primarily in Canada. Therefore, the Company's business and financial condition is sensitive to currency exchange rates or any other restriction imposed on its currency. Part II - OTHER INFORMATION Item 1.
