Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared by us in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions for Form 10-QSB. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. The information furnished by us reflects all material adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, which are, in our opinion, necessary to a fair presentation of the financial statements for the period presented. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the full year. The financial statements and related footnotes should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and footnotes thereto included in our annual report on Form 10-KSB filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the year ended December 31, 2000. 2. Inventories: Inventories at March 31, 2001 consisted of the following: Raw Materials $1,030,825 Work-in-Progress 468,912 Finished Goods 830,971 ---------- $2,330,708 ========== 3. Note Payable, Bank In February 2001 we received a letter of credit from our joint venture to buy $600,000 in "parts to build" air pollution instruments in China. Through the efforts of World Trade Finance, we were able to borrow $450,000 on the order. This loan is payable with monthly interest at a rate of 11.50%, and principal is repaid out of shipment. $450,000 of parts were shipped in the middle of April 2001. 4. Shareholders' Equity: On January 25, 2001, we issued 700,000 shares of stock under a one-year consulting agreement. The value of these shares of $700,000 is being amortized as consulting expense over the term of the agreement. At March 31, 2001 $535,068 remains as prepaid consulting fees. 8 Item 2 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS General We design, manufacture and market automated continuous monitoring instruments used to detect and measure various types of air pollution through our wholly-owned subsidiary, Dasibi Environmental Corp., and, since January 1998 we have focused our business primarily on the air pollution market of the People's Republic of China. We have experienced operating losses during quarters in which no product was shipped to China due to high staffing and related financing expenses toward maintaining a consistent quality control and manufacturing schedule. The 1999 Phase 1 contract for $5.2 million was essentially completed in a five month schedule ending November 1999. Except for that period, the past three years, including this current quarter, have experienced insufficient revenue to offset our level of staffing and its level of related expenses. Our future operating results may be affected by a number of important factors, including but not limited to our ability to obtain further contracts from China; uncertainties relative to global economic conditions and political stability, industry factors, the availability and cost of components; our ability to develop, manufacture and sell our products profitably. In April 2000 we signed a $13.5 million agreement (the Phase II "China Contract"). In December 2000 our board of directors approved a joint venture to manufacture our product in China. A contract to provide air monitoring networks for cities in China under U.S. Export-Import financing requires a "letter of mandate" from the China bank, which in turn requires China bank credit approval of the cities involved. In the 1998 Phase I contract this approval required approximately six months for eleven cities. In the 2000 Phase II contract, 32 cities are involved. As of April 30, 2001, 27 cities have been approved. Indication from the China side is that a July 2001 project start date is their goal. This start date is critical for us to generate "steady stream" revenues to justify staffing levels and more importantly, eliminate on-going expensive financing requirements. For us to be profitable for 2001, the Phase II project must begin in the third quarter of the current year. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Three Months Ended March 31, 2001 ("2001") Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2000 ("2000") Net revenues for 2001 were $694,358 which represented an increase of $265,986, or 62% over 2000 net revenue of $428,372. The increase was not significant as it represents normal historical revenue per quarter for the past four years. The first quarter 2000 revenue was below normal. Gross profit was $227,096 for 2001, an increase of $193,694 from $33,402 for 2000. The gross profit percentage was 32% in 2001, an increase from 8% in 2000. The increase in the gross profit percentage was primarily attributable to a return to a reasonable profit level. Selling, general and administrative expenses (SG&A) were $616,065, or 89% of sales for 2001, a decrease of $69,988 from $686,053 in 2000. The decrease in SG&A was principally due to a decrease in commissions and other expenses relating to dormant activity in China sales. 9 During the three months ended March 31, 2001 charges related to amortization of loan fees and interest amounted to $320,883. The same period in 2000 did not include this accounting charge for amortization of loan fees. As a result of the foregoing factors we incurred a loss of $717,442 during the three months ended March 31, 2001 as compared to a loss of $739,841 during the three months ended March 31, 2000. Liquidity and Capital Resources We have historically financed our growth and cash needs primarily through borrowings, and the public and private sales of our securities. The low market value of our securities and our unstable operating performance have severely restricted our access to capital, and when capital has been obtained it has been necessarily costly due to high interest costs and related loan fees. Net cash used in operating activities increased $174,435 in the three months ended March 31, 2000 as compared to March 31, 2000 due to increased inventory purchases. The cash level decreased in the same period by $165,920 primarily due to a decrease in new financing activities. Working capital was $1,359,565 at March 31, 2001. An escrow which began October 19, 2000 intended to increase our working capital level failed to close. During the first quarter of 2001 we entered into a similar net funding escrow with a different unaffiliated corporation as in October, 2000. The escrow has been structured to avoid anti-dilution provisions of convertible bond holders who have again agreed to "pay-off" terms. The escrow is arranged in stages of which the first is release of working capital to us. At this date $250,000 has been released to us. Subsequent stages involve equity exchange to be negotiated so that a minimum common share price of $1.15 per share is maintained. Depending on valuation of asset acquisition in the escrow a possible minimum share value of approximately 97 cents per share may be realized. At this time no formal escrow agreements are in effect. Advances to date are non-refundable and a completion of escrow is not expected before June 1, 2001. A maximum dilutive effect to our company is expected to be in the order of 15% to 17%. Inflation We believe that inflation has not had a material impact on our business. Seasonality We do not believe that our business is seasonal. 10 PART II-OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 1.
