) for the entire periods, while the prior year results include these subsidiaries for the entire quarter ended Sept. 30, 1994, but only from their dates of acquisition, April 18, 1994 for HFS and May 26, 1994 for CFE, for the six months ended Sept. 30, 1994.

The first and second fiscal quarters are traditionally the company's weakest period. The company has previously noted that it expects this seasonality to become even more pronounced as fitness industry sales become more concentrated in the November-January period and as retailers continue to ever more tightly manage their inventories.

The sales decrease during the quarter was due in part to a decrease in retail sales for the quarter of approximately $475,000, coming entirely from the company's mid-Atlantic operation. Retail sales in Florida increased during the quarter.

The sales decrease at the company's manufacturing operations Manufacturing operations concern the operation of a facility, as opposed to maintenance, supply and distribution, health, and safety, emergency response, human resources, security, information technology and other infrastructural support organizations.  of approximately $650,000 was due to reduced sales to Champs CHAMPS Capitol Hill Association of Merchants and Professionals

 for the second quarter but a sharp decline in selling profit margins in September caused the quarter's loss to be higher than the company's prior expectations. While Bio-Dyne is optimistic for good results in the current quarter ending Dec. 31, 1995, based upon the second quarter's loss management does not presently anticipate that it will show a profit for the current fiscal year ending March 31, 1996.
