Other Expenses                                     $          (94,985 )   $         (179,761 )
Net Income                                         $          408,615     $          356,348



For the three months ended October 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company reported a net income of $408,615 and $356,348, respectively. The change in net income between the three months ended October 31, 2019 and 2018 was primarily attributable to an increased gross profit, lower interest and amortization expenses in 2019.

Sales: Sales, net of slotting fees and discounts increased by approximately 12% to $9,267,036 during the three months ended October 31, 2019, from $8,242,847 during the three months ended October 31, 2018. Sales increased from sales with existing customers as well as new customers.

Gross Profit: The gross profit margin was 31% for the three months ended October 31, 2019 compared to 33% for the three months ended October 31, 2018. During the three months ended October 31, 2019, cost of sales included an increase in depreciation expense of approximately $123,400 (thereby reducing gross margin by approximately 1%) related to the significant plant capacity additions during the last 12 months. Gross margin also decreased slightly due to a change in product mix. In future periods the Company expects sales to increase from the current quarter level which should increase gross profit margin as plant efficiencies should take effect.

Operating Expenses: Operating expenses increased by 11% during the three months ended October 31, 2019, as compared to the three months ended October 31, 2018. Operating expenses decreased as a percentage of sales from 26% in 2018 to 25% in 2019. The $245,973 increase in total operating expenses is primarily attributable to the following approximate increases in operating expenses:

? Advertising of $177,953 due to higher promotional expenses for merchandising

activity, Club Store demos, successful Sirius Radio advertising campaign and

one-time coupon activity;

? Postage and freight of $105,536 due to higher volume;

? Professional fees of $29,832 due to sales consulting and investor relations

activity; and

? Trade show and travel expenses of $24,044 related to additional show activity


  in October 2019.

These expense increases were offset by decreases in the following as well as minimal decreases in other expense categories:

? Insurance expense of $43,878 due to an overall decrease in workers'

compensation premiums;

? Payroll and related expenses of $27,703 decreased due to a reduction in

headcount as a result of the implementation of new equipment; and

? Other general and administrative of $21,410 decreased due to management's

commitment to substantially reduce expenses.

Other Expense: Other expenses decreased by $84,776 to $94,985 for the three months ended October 31, 2019 as compared to $179,761 during the three months ended October 31, 2018. For three months ended October 31, 2019, other expenses consisted of $89,635 in interest expense incurred on the Company's financing arrangements. In addition, the Company recorded $5,350 of amortization expense related to the debt discount. For the three months ended October 31, 2018, other expenses consisted of $159,688 in interest expense incurred on the Company's finance arrangements. In addition, the Company recorded $20,073 of amortization expense related to the debt discount and finance arrangements.

Our capital expenditures are attributed to a Plant Expansion Project in progress since mid-2017 to expand plant capacity and efficiency to meet growing demand.

Net cash used by all financing activities for the nine months ended October 31, 2019 was $811,497 as compared to $743,272 provided by financing activities for the nine months ended October 31, 2018.

As reflected in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company has a net income and net cash provided by operations of $1,122,589 and $975,848, respectively, for the nine months ended October 31, 2019.

Although the expected revenue growth and control of expenses leads management to believe that it is probable that the Company's cash resources will be sufficient to meet our cash requirements through the fiscal year ending January 31, 2020, the Company may require additional funding to finance the growth of its current and expected future operations as well as to achieve its strategic objectives. There can be no assurance that financing will be available in amounts or terms acceptable to the Company, if at all. In that event, the Company would be required to change its growth strategy and seek funding on that basis, though there is no guarantee it will be able to do so.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, "Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework-Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement". This update is to improve the effectiveness of disclosures in the notes to the financial statements by facilitating clear communication of the information required by U.S. GAAP that is most important to users of each entity's financial statements. The amendments in this update apply to all entities that are required, under existing U.S. GAAP, to make disclosures about recurring or nonrecurring fair value measurements. The amendments in this update are effective for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating this guidance and the impact of this update on its consolidated financial statements.

Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective accounting pronouncements, when adopted, will have a material effect on the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.





Critical Accounting Policies


Our condensed consolidated financial statements and related public financial information are based on the application of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP"). GAAP requires the use of estimates; assumptions, judgments and subjective interpretations of accounting principles that have an impact on the assets, liabilities, revenues and expense amounts reported. These estimates can also affect supplemental information contained in our external disclosures including information regarding contingencies, risk and financial condition. We believe our use of estimates and underlying accounting assumptions adhere to GAAP and are consistently and conservatively applied. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We continue to monitor significant estimates made during the preparation of our financial statements.

Our significant accounting policies are summarized in Note 2 of our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Other than the adoption of FASB ASU 2016-02, "Leases" (Topic 842), there have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates from the information provided in Item 7, "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations," included in our January 31, 2019 Annual Report.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements:

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements, financings, or other relationships with unconsolidated entities or other persons, also known as "special purpose entities" (SPEs).
