NOTE 3 - EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE

 

Basic earnings (loss) per share excludes dilution and is computed by dividing income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share reflects potential dilution occurring if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into Common Stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the earnings of the Company. At June 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company had 225,000 and 210,000 outstanding stock options, respectively, that could have a dilutive effect on future periods’ net income. The stock options were not included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share for either period as they were anti-dilutive.

 

NOTE 4 - STOCK OPTIONS

 

On June 9, 2023, the Board of Directors granted 45,000 options to employees. The new options have an exercise price of $0.40, a term of 5 years, and vest immediately. The fair value of the options was determined using the Black-Scholes model using the following variables: stock price of $0.24, volatility of 104.1%, expected term of 5 years with a forfeiture rate of 95%, and a discount factor of 3.92%. Share based compensation of $693 ($534 in marketing and sales and $159 in general and administrative in the condensed statement of operations) was recognized during the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2023.

 

As of June 30, 2023, there were 225,000 options outstanding with a weighted average exercise price of $0.40 per share, a weighted average remaining life of 2.2 years and had intrinsic value of nil.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

 

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL

CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION

 

Management's discussion and analysis is intended to be read in conjunction with the Company's unaudited financial statements and the integral notes thereto for the quarter ended June 30, 2023. The following statements may be forward looking in nature and actual results may differ materially.

 

A.RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

REVENUES: Total revenues from sales increased to $585,206 for the first six-months of 2023 as compared to $416,892 in the second quarter of 2022, reflecting an increase of 40.4%. Management believes the increase in sales revenues is due to the increase in customer demand. Year to date total revenues from sales increased to $890,295 in 2023 as compared to $889,035 in 2022, reflecting an increase of 0.1%. Management believes the increase in sales revenues is due to the Company’s increased inventory level and the ability to ship orders in a timely manner.

 

The Company's revenues have historically fluctuated from quarter to quarter due to timing factors such as product shipments to customers, customer order placement, customer buying trends, and changes in the general economic environment. The procurement process regarding plant and project automation, or project development, which usually surrounds the decision to purchase ESTeem products, can be lengthy. This procurement process may involve bid activities unrelated to the ESTeem products, such as additional systems and subcontract work, as well as capital budget considerations on the part of the customer. Because of the complexity of this procurement process, forecasts with regard to the Company's revenues are difficult to predict.

 

A percentage breakdown of the Company’s market segments of Domestic and Foreign Export sales for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 are as follows:

 

   Three Months ended June 30, 2023   Three Months ended June 30, 2022   Six Months ended June 30, 2023   Six Months ended June 30, 2022 
Domestic Sales   98%   91%   98%   92%
Export Sales   2%   9%   2%   8%

 

BACKLOG:

 

As of June 30, 2023, the Company had a sales order backlog of $109,844. The Company’s customers generally place orders on an "as needed basis". Shipment for most of the Company’s products is generally made within 1 to 5 working days after receipt of customer orders, with the exception of ongoing, scheduled projects, and custom designed equipment.

 

COST OF SALES:

 

Cost of sales percentages for the second quarters of 2023 and 2022 were 45.9% and 45.9% of respective net sales. Cost of sales percentages for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 were 45.8% and 45.1%, respectively. The cost of sales percentage increase for the six month period ended June 3, 2023 is the result of the product mix sold during the same period of 2022.

Total operating expenses  $262,881   $244,845   $18,036   $524,536   $512,556   $11,980 

 

General and administrative: For the second quarter of 2023, general and administrative expenses decreased $5,255 to $61,492, due to decreased wages when compared with the same quarter of 2022. For the six-month period ended June 30, 2023, general and administrative expenses decreased by $5,265, to $146,257, due to decreased payroll and increased services purchased. General and administrative expenses were 10.5% compared to 16.0% of sales revenue for the second quarter of 2023 and 16.4% compared to 17.0% of sales revenue for six-month period ended June 30, 2023.

 

Research and development: Research and development expenses decreased $17,835 to $28,021 during the second quarter of 2023 due to decreased services purchased expenses when compared with the same quarter of 2022. For the six-month period, research and development expenses decreased by $34,949 to $56,684, due to decreased services purchased. Research and development expense was 4.8% compared to 11.0% of sales revenue for the second quarter of 2023 and 6.4% compared to 10.3% of sales revenue for six-month period ended June 30, 2023.

 

Marketing and sales: During the second quarter of 2023, marketing and sales expenses increased $41,126 to $173,368 when compared with the same period of 2022, due to increased payroll, benefits expense, and travel. For the six-month period, marketing and sales expenses increased by $52,194 to $321,595, due to increased payroll, benefits, and travel expenses. Marketing and sales expenses were 29.6% compared to 31.7% of sales revenue for the second quarter of 2023 and 36.1% compared to 30.3% of sales revenue for the six-month period ended June 30, 2023.

 

OTHER INCOME:

 

The Company earned $5,181 in interest income during the quarter ended June 30, 2023 and $9,183 for the six-month period. Sources of this income were money market accounts and certificates of deposit.

 

NET LOSS:

 

The Company had net income of $58,870 for the second quarter of 2023 compared to a net loss of $18,976 for the same quarter of 2022. For the six-month period ended June 30, 2023, the Company recorded a net loss of $33,254 compared with a net loss of $23,757 for the same period of 2022. The decrease in net income during 2023 is the result of increased operating expenses.

B.       FINANCIAL CONDITION, LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

 

The Corporation's current asset to current liabilities ratio at June 30, 2023 was 9.9 compared to 8.6 at December 31, 2022. The increase in current ratio is due to the decrease of accounts payable and increase in inventory at June 30, 2023 as compared to December 31, 2022.

 

At June 30, 2023, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $782,095 as compared to cash and cash equivalent of $1,002,817 at December 31, 2022.

 

Cash used from operating activities decreased by $130,326 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2023 when compared to the same period in 2022. The decrease is attributable to a decrease in net income for the period being $9,497 less than the same period in 2022. The increase in the change in accounts receivable and inventory balances contributed $43,309 and $87,843 respectively.

 

In management's opinion, the Company's cash and cash equivalents and other working capital at June 30, 2023 is sufficient to satisfy requirements for operations, capital expenditures, and other expenditures as may arise during 2023 and into the first half of 2024.

 

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS: The above discussion may contain forward looking statements that involve a number of risks and uncertainties. In addition to the factors discussed above, among other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially are the following: competitive factors such as rival wireless architectures and price pressures; availability of third party component products at reasonable prices; inventory risks due to shifts in market demand and/or price erosion of purchased components; change in product mix, and risk factors that are listed in the Company's reports and registration statements filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

 

The Company has no significant off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to its stockholders.

 

Item 1. Controls and Procedures

 

An evaluation has been performed under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Accounting Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and the operation of our "disclosure controls and procedures" (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of June 30, 2023. Based on that evaluation, our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer concluded that the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2023.

 

The design of any system of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions, regardless of how remote. However, management believes that our system of disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide a reasonable level of assurance that the objectives of the system will be met.

 

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

There have not been any changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) during the most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
