Note 4 - Line of Credit, Stockholder Loans, and Notes Payable
At March 31, 2003, a $3,945,833 balance is outstanding under a $9.0 million
line of credit due June 30, 2003, with interest payable monthly at Chase
Manhattan Prime less 1 1/4% (3.0% at March 31, 2003). Borrowings under the
line of credit are limited to the lesser of $7.0 million or the sum of 80% of
qualified accounts receivable and 40% of qualified inventory for working
capital purposes and $2.0 million for future acquisitions meeting Bank of
Oklahoma credit guidelines. The line of credit agreement provides that the
Company's net worth must be greater than $14.0 million and net income greater
than $2.0 million. The line of credit is collateralized by inventory, accounts
receivable, equipment and fixtures, and general intangibles.
Cash receipts are applied from the Company's lockbox account directly against
the bank line of credit, and checks clearing the bank are funded from the line
of credit. The resulting overdraft balance, consisting of outstanding checks,
is $94,783 at March 31, 2003 and is included in the bank revolving line of
credit.
Stockholder loans of $950,000 bear interest at rates that correspond with the
line of credit (3.0% at March 31, 2003) and are subordinate to the bank notes
payable. The notes are due on demand and are classified as current.
Stockholder notes, which were issued for purchases of real estate, total
$502,142. Two of these notes totaling $441,829 bear interest at 7.5% and are
due in monthly payments through 2011. Another note of $60,313 bears interest
at 5.5% and is due in one installment in May 2003. Notes payable to unrelated
parties totaled $602,885, of which $166,667 is due in quarterly payments
through March 2004, with $66,667 of this amount bearing interest at 7%. The
remaining note of $436,218 is due in monthly payments through 2013 with
interest at 5.5% through 2008, converting thereafter to prime minus 1/4%.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Overview
We specialize in the refurbishment of previously owned cable television
("CATV") equipment and the distribution of new and surplus equipment to CATV
operators and other broadband communication companies. Within the last two
years, we have become distributors for a number of different manufacturers of
equipment and other products. It is through our development of these
relationships that we have focused our initiative to market our products and
services to the larger cable multiple system operators (MSO's). As a result,
our overall sales and profits are dramatically up for the first six months of
2003, while adding approximately $1.3 million of inventory to further enhance
our product offerings. We continue to believe that as cable companies look at
expanding their services in key markets and to recover from or address the
effects of a slow economy and depressed capital markets, there will be an
emphasis on minimizing their costs, thus creating a higher demand for the
Company's repair services and surplus-new equipment.
Results of Operations
Comparison of Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2003
And March 31, 2002
Net Sales. Net sales increased $2.73 million, or 46.7%, to $8.6 million in the
second quarter of fiscal 2003, from $5.8 million for the same period in fiscal
2002, primarily due to the positive results of our marketing initiatives and
distributor relationships discussed in the previous paragraph. New equipment
sales were up 99.5% to $5.8 million for the current period, compared with $2.89
million for the same period of fiscal 2002. Sales from remanufactured
equipment decreased by 5.9% to $2.58 million for the current period, compared
with $2.75 million in the same period last year. Repair service revenues were
up 23.7% to $1.10 million for the current quarter, compared with $891,000 for
the same period last year. The increase in repair services was due to the
continued focus of being a leading repair service provider and the expansion of
our repairs sales to our new Atlanta operations which began in June of 2002.
Cost of Sales. Cost of sales increased to $4.87 million for the second quarter
of fiscal 2003 from $2.86 million for the same period of fiscal 2002. The
increase was primarily due to the increase in sales for the period.
Gross Profit. Gross profit climbed $715,000 or 24.0% to $3.70 million for the
second quarter of fiscal 2003 from $2.98 million for the same period in fiscal
2002. The gross margin percentage was 43.1% for the current quarter, compared
to 51.0% for the same quarter last year. The percentage decrease was primarily
due to an increase in sales of new and surplus equipment which is accompanied
by margins lower than that of re-manufactured equipment or repairs.
Operating Expenses. Operating expenses increased by $272,000 in the second
quarter of fiscal 2003, to $2.02 million from $1.75 million for the same period
in 2002, an increase of 15.6%. The increase in operating expenses was
primarily due to the commencement of the operations of TULSAT-Atlanta in June
2002, coupled with an expanding sales force and other added expenses incurred
to meet the marketing initiatives described previously.
10
Income from Operations. Income from operations rose $448,000, or 35.9% to
$1.68 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2003 from $1.24 million for the
same period last year. This increase was primarily due to increases in sales
to the larger MSO's.
Comparison of Results of Operations for the Six Months Ended March 31, 2003 and
March 31, 2002
Net Sales. Net sales increased $4.84 million, or 42.3%, to $16.3 million in
the first six months of fiscal 2003, from $11.4 million for the same period in
fiscal 2002, primarily due to the positive results of our marketing initiatives
and distributor relationships discussed above. New equipment sales were up
96.1% to $10.1 million for the current period, compared with $5.1 million for
the same period of fiscal 2002. Sales from remanufactured equipment were
relatively flat at $5.56 million for the current period, compared with $5.61
million in the same period last year. Repair service revenues were up 28.6% to
$2.32 million for the current period, compared with $1.80 million for the same
period last year. The increase in repair services was due to the continued
focus of being a leading repair service provider and the expansion of our
repairs sales to our new Atlanta operations which began in June of 2002.
Cost of Sales. Cost of sales increased to $8.9 million for the first six
months of fiscal 2003 from $5.8 million for the same period of fiscal 2002.
The increase was primarily due to the increase in sales for the period.
Gross Profit. Gross profit climbed $1.67 million or 29.6% to $7.3 million for
the first six months of fiscal 2003 from $5.6 million for the same period in
fiscal 2002. The gross margin percentage was 45.0% for the current quarter,
compared to 49.4% for the same quarter last year. The percentage decrease was
primarily due to an increase in sales of new and surplus equipment which is
accompanied by margins lower than that of re-manufactured equipment or repairs.
Operating Expenses. Operating expenses increased by $657,000 in the first six
months of fiscal 2003, to $3.99 million from $3.34 million for the same period
in 2002, an increase of 19.7%. The increase in operating expenses was
primarily due to the commencement of the operations of TULSAT-Atlanta in June
2002, coupled with an expanding sales force and other added expenses incurred
to meet the marketing initiatives described previously.
Income from Operations. Income from operations rose $1.0 million, or 44.0% to
$3.33 million for the first six months of fiscal 2003 from $2.31 million for
the same period last year. This increase was primarily due to increases in
sales to the larger MSO's.

Critical Accounting Policies
Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Form 10-KSB for fiscal
year 2002 includes a summary of the significant accounting policies or methods
used in the preparation of our Consolidated Financial Statements. Some of those
significant accounting policies or methods require us to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the amounts reported by us. We believe the following
items require the most significant judgments and often involve complex
estimates.
General
-------
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the
financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during
the reporting periods. We base our estimates and judgments on historical
experience, current market conditions, and various other factors we believe to
be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for
making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are
not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these
estimates under different assumptions or conditions. The most significant
estimates and assumptions relate to the carrying value of our inventory and, to
a lesser extent, the adequacy of our allowance for doubtful accounts.
Inventory Valuation
-------------------
Inventory consists of new and used electronic components for the cable
television industry. Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market.
Market is defined principally as net realizable value. Cost is determined
using the weighted average method.
We market our products primarily to MSO's and other users of cable
television equipment who are seeking products for which manufacturers have
discontinued production, or are seeking shipment on a same-day basis. Our
position in the industry requires us to carry large inventory quantities
relative to quarterly sales, but also allows us to realize high overall gross
profit margins on our sales. Carrying these large inventories represents the
Company's largest risk. For individual inventory items, we may carry inventory
quantities that are excessive relative to market potential, or we may not be
able to recover our acquisition costs for sales we are able to make in a
reasonable period.
In order to address the risks associated with our investment in inventory,
we regularly review inventory quantities on hand and reduce the carrying value
when the loss of usefulness of an item or other factors, such as obsolete and
excess inventories, indicate that cost will not be recovered when an item is
sold. Demand for some of the items in our inventory has been impacted by
recent economic conditions present in the cable industry. We wrote certain
items in inventory down to their estimated market values at September 30, 2002,
which resulted in a charge to cost of sales of $1.4 million for fiscal 2002.
Any significant, unanticipated changes in product demand, technological
developments or continued economic trends affecting the cable industry could
have a significant impact on the value of our inventory and operating results.
12
Accounts Receivable Valuation
-----------------------------
Management judgments and estimates are made in connection with
establishing the allowance for doubtful accounts. Specifically, we analyze the
aging of accounts receivable balances, historical bad debts, customer
concentrations, customer credit-worthiness, current economic trends and changes
in our customer payment terms. Significant changes in customer concentration or
payment terms, deterioration of customer credit-worthiness, as in the case of
the bankruptcy of Adelphia and its affiliates, or weakening in economic trends
could have a significant impact on the collectibility of receivables and our
operating results. If the financial condition of our customers were to
deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments,
additional allowances may be required. At March 31, 2003, accounts receivable,
net of allowance for doubtful accounts of $80,000, amounted to $3.7 million.
Goodwill
--------
In July, 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Statements of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, "Goodwill and Other
Intangible Assets" (SFAS 142). SFAS 142 addresses financial accounting and
reporting for acquired goodwill and other intangible assets. SFAS 142
requires, among other things, that companies no longer amortize goodwill,
but instead test goodwill for impairment at least annually. SFAS 142 was
adopted by the Company on October 1, 2002, the date of the annual impairment
review. The adoption of this pronouncement had no impact on the Company's
carrying value of its goodwill. If SFAS 142 had been adopted in 2002, the
Company's earnings would have been improved because of reduced amortization, as
described below:

Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company has a line of credit with the Bank of Oklahoma under which we
are authorized to borrow up to $9.0 million at a borrowing rate of 1.25% below
Chase Manhattan Prime (3.0% at March 31, 2003). This line of credit will
provide the lesser of $7.0 million or the sum of 80% of qualified accounts
receivable and 40% of qualified inventory in a revolving line of credit for
working capital purposes and $2.0 million for future acquisitions meeting Bank
of Oklahoma credit guidelines. The line of credit is collateralized by
inventory, accounts receivable, equipment and fixtures, and general intangibles
and had an outstanding balance at March 31, 2003 of $3.9 million, due June 30,
2003. We intend to renew the agreement at the maturity date under similar
terms.
13
The Company finances its operations primarily through internally generated
funds and a bank line of credit. Quarterly payments of principal for
obligations related to the NCS purchase total $167,000 in the next 12 months.
Monthly payments of principal for loans used to purchase buildings total
$71,000 in the next 12 months. A $60,000 note in conjunction with a building
purchase is due in one installment in May 2003. The Company expects to fund
these payments through cash flows from operations.
Stockholder loans include a $950,000 note, due on demand, bearing interest
at the same rate as the Company's bank line of credit, and is subordinate to
the bank notes payable. It is not expected that this note will be called
within the next year.
Forward Looking Statements
Certain statements included in this report which are not historical facts are
forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are based on
current expectations, estimates, assumptions and beliefs of management; and
words such as "expects," "anticipates," "intends," "plans," "believes,"
"projects", "estimates" and similar expressions are intended to identify such
forward looking statements. These forward-looking statements involve risks and
uncertainties, including, but not limited to, the future prospects for the
business of the Company, the Company's ability to generate or to raise
sufficient capital to allow it to make additional business acquisitions,
changes or developments in the cable television business that could adversely
affect the business or operations of the Company, general economic conditions,
the availability of new and used equipment and other inventory and the
Company's ability to fund the costs thereof, and other factors which may affect
the Company's ability to comply with future obligations. Accordingly, actual
results may differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking
statements.
Item 3. Controls and Procedures
(a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.
Within 90 days prior to this report, with the participation of
management, our principal executive officer and principal financial
officer evaluated our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on
this evaluation, the principal executive officer and principal
financial officer concluded that the disclosure controls and
procedures are effective in timely alerting him to material
information required to be disclosed in our periodic reports filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission. It should be noted that
the design of any system of controls is based in part upon certain
assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be
no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated
goals under all potential future conditions, regardless of how
remote.
(b) Changes in internal controls.
Subsequent to April 1, 2003 through the date of this filing of Form
10-QSB for the quarter ended March 31, 2003, there have been no
significant changes in our internal controls or in other factors that
could significantly affect those controls, including any significant
deficiencies or material weaknesses of internal controls that would
require corrective action.
