Revenue for the six months ended March 31,2003 was $22,235,501, an increase of $8,846,086 or 66.1% over the six months ended March 31,2002. The increase in revenue was due to an unusually large increase in the distribution of products to wholesale distributors. The Company does not know if they will be able to sustain this growth in future periods. Cost of sales for the six months ended March 31,2003 was $21,101,277, an increase of $8,987,138 or 74.2% over the six months ended March 31,2002. As a result the gross margin for the period ended March 31,2003 was $1,134,224 or 5.10% compared to $1,275,276 or 9.52% for the period ended March 31,2002. The decrease in the gross profit margin were a result of the increased revenue being wholesale products which have low profit margins and reduced revenue from the retail dental sales. Medical supply sales which have a higher gross profit margin than the wholesale sales have increased but have not yet made up for the decrease in the dental sales. The Company expects that the increases in sales of medical supplies will make up for the loss in dental sales and increase the Company's overall gross profit margin.
Selling expenses for the six months ended March 31,2003 were $267,288, a decrease of $130,575 or 32.8% compared to the six months ended March 31,2002.

Advertising costs in the next three to six months will increase as the Company brings out several new catalogues. Travel and entertainment expenses increased by $33,420, which is related directly to increased contact with medical and wholesale purchasers.
General and administrative expenses for the six months ended March 31,2003 increased by $63,685 or 8.0% from the six months ended March 31,2002. Total compensation including payroll taxes increased by approximately , 32,000 which included a bonus of $152,500 for one of the officers for attaining sales levels included in his employment agreement. Without this bonus, employment expenses would have decreased by approximately $120,500 which includes the reduction of two employees and voluntary salary reductions by the three officers of the Company Other increases included professional and financing fees, which increased by $21,484, primarily for the Company's new financing agreement. Insurance increased by $8,992 primarily from the increases in medical expenses. Other general and administrative expenses increased by approximately $8,500.
Interest expense for the six months ended March 31,2003 was $55,406, a decrease of $6,787 form the six month period ended March 31,2002. This was accomplished by entering into a new financing agreement where all collections are applied against the line of credit on a daily basis and proceeds from the line of credit are only taken when needed to pay down liabilities. As a result the average daily balance outstanding on the line of credit has been reduced. The new financing agreement allows the Company greater flexibility in its ability to finance increased sales and additional inventory.
