Sales in the six months ended March 31, 2001 were $728,054 as compared with $1, 736,431 in the six months ended March 31, 2000. The decrease in sales compared to the sales in the six months ended March 31,2000 resulted from the completion of a certain products that were delivered in the six months ended March 31,2000 and due to the influence of crisis in the market. Sales in the six months ended March 31, 2001 included $728,054 sales by Microkim and no revenues recognized by RadioTel. Sales in the six months ended March 31,2000 included $1,430,950 and $305,481 revenues recognized by Microkim and RadioTel, respectively.
Cost of sales in the six months ended March 31, 2001 was 86% of sales or $627,033 as compared with 64% or $1,110,980 in the same period in 2000. The increase in cost of sales was due to the type of products that were delivered in the 2000 period which has a lower cost of sale than those delivered in the 2001 period. The cost of sales fluctuates for all the products.
Gross research and development expenses were $174,700 in the six months ended March 31,2001 and $903,975 in the same period in 2000.The decrease in the research and development expenses was due to the fact that the research and development expenses of RadioTel were included in the consolidated statements for the six months ended March 31,2000 but not in the same period ended March 31,2001 since RadioTel has been accounted for under the equity method of accounting since March 27,2000. In the 2000 period the research and development expenses in Microkim were $151,059.
Sales expenses in the six months ended March 31, 2001 were $80,191 compared to $402,421 in the same period in 2000.

Company's share in the income of its 50% held affiliate, Micel Wireless, for the first six months of fiscal year 2001, was $44,554 compared with the income of $140,122 in the first six months of fiscal 2000.
In the six months ended March 31, 2001, the Company reported a loss of $267,192. In the same period in 2000, the Company had a loss of $702,000. This decrease in the loss was due to losses of RadioTel that were included in the period in 2000.
