The significant decrease in operating costs compared to the prior year demonstrates the effectiveness of the Company's efforts to reduce operating expenses in the latter half of fiscal 2001 and in 2002. Interest, depreciation and amortization totaled $195,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2002, compared to $174,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2001.

The Company ended the first quarter of 2002 with a net loss of $268,000, or $0.02 per share, a per share improvement of 75% compared to a net loss of $762,000 or $0.08 per share for the same period in the prior fiscal year.

The Company also achieved an improvement in its working capital from Dec. 31, 2001, showing a working capital deficiency of $1,046,000 at March 31, 2002, compared to a deficiency of $1,055,000 at Dec. 31, 2001.

"I am pleased to see the positive results that our cost control measures have achieved," remarked Tarrnie Williams, the Company's president and CEO.
