Financial Review

The gross margin of 29% for the first six months of 1999 vs. the negative 7% margin for the same period in 1998 reflects a dramatic turnaround.

The primary reason is the AC2 units were not having new field problems that required redesigns of components in 1999. The company has manufacturing facilities in Sunland Park, Westway, Texas Westway is a census-designated place (CDP) in El Paso County, Texas, United States. The population was 3,829 at the 2000 census. Geography
Westway is located at  (31.959214, -106.574169)GR1.
, and Juarez, Mexico.

These facilities are operating far under capacity with the present sales level and management is working on several programs to cut costs and increase gross margins to a target of 30% - 35%.

The General and Administrative expenses were cut from $643,000 for the first half of 1998 to $512,000 for the same period in 1999. This reflects substantial improvements in the utilization of accounting information and the combination of many jobs to reduce costs.

The biggest negative is the increase in interest expense from $146,000 for the first half of 1998 (6% of sales) to $385,000 for the same period in 1999 (19% of sales). This interest expense increase is primarily related to factoring of accounts receivable accounts receivable n. the amounts of money due or owed to a business or professional by customers or clients. Generally, accounts receivable refers to the total amount due and is considered in calculating the value of a business or the business' problems in paying  and inventory financing Inventory financing

 to provide working capital.

Management Goal

Management's main goal for 1999 is to overcome the problems related to the AC2 units and prove the reliable operation of AC2 units in the field. As a consequence of this goal, marketing efforts were cut and an overhead reduction plan was implemented to keep the operating loss operating loss

The excess of operating expenses over revenue. As with operating income, operating losses exclude revenues and expenses from operations that are not considered a regular part of the business. Also called deficit. Compare operating income.
 for 1999 below $1 million vs. a nearly $4.5 million loss in 1998.

As part of this plan the AC2 marketing expenditures were dramatically cut until product problems could be proven to be solved with field results. The Aireze Marketing was slightly increased and refocused to increase sales strength in the local market and begin expanding sales into the Southwest market area.

The net total Selling and Marketing expenditures were cut by almost 40% for the first six months of 1999 vs. the same period in 1998. Accordingly, the AC2 sales were down 53% while Aireze sales were up 37% for the same period. Aireze sales increases were primarily from strengthening sales in the New Mexico New Mexico, state in the SW United States. At its northwestern corner are the so-called Four Corners, where Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona, and Utah meet at right angles; New Mexico is also bordered by Oklahoma (NE), Texas (E, S), and Mexico (S).  and El Paso El Paso (ĕl pă`sō), city (1990 pop. 515,342), seat of El Paso co., extreme W Tex., on the Rio Grande opposite Juárez, Mex.; inc. 1873.  market.

     In 1997 the AC2 was certified for performance (by ARI) and safety
(by ETL to UL standard 1995), just after the cooling season. For this
reason there was essentially no field installation experience on the
newly designed AC2 units. In 1998 the AC2 product line had substantial
field problems primarily related to a freeze protection control
system.
     The problems emerged at the beginning of the 1998 cooling season
after nearly 3,000 AC2 units had been built. The AC2 controls problems
would shut units down erratically and a series of five recalls were
made to attempt to correct the flaws with "immediately available"
alternate controls.
     The recalls and the associated re-manufacturing of the AC2 units
to attempt rushed corrections during the 1998 summer cooling season
led to a severe loss in 1998. The controls malfunctions were primarily
caused by a water level sensing device and a submerged temperature
sensing device.
     Since the summer of 1998, RTI has redesigned the AC2 unit
controls to eliminate problems experienced in 1998, insure high
reliability in the controls and simplify the controls system. RTI has
taken field experience to enhance the total AC2 reliability and these
enhancements were laboratory verified with good results.
     A 1999 AC2 unit Field test program to check operation was briefly
field verified, and then the units in inventory were upgraded. A Field
Upgrade Program is being implemented and units are being upgraded in
the field. During 1998 the repeated controls failures were happening
in the field within a few weeks.
     At this point the field results have been very good with half a
season of use, but the controls have not yet been field proven for a
full season, and the field upgrades are still in progress.
     The company's development department achieved laboratory
performance results indicating an efficiency of approximately 40 EER
at the SEER efficiency test conditions on the "Trio" product line. The
Trio product line has been field tested, and now over 25 units have
been installed in the El Paso market area.

indicative of the results expected for the full year. This press
release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the

those set forth in the forward-looking statements.
     Important factors that could cause actual results to differ
include, among others, risks associated with the going concern issues
as stated in the company's 10K, risks associated with product
development and field corrections to the AC2 units, risks of not being
supplied by unpaid vendors, risks due to unpaid taxes, needs for
additional capital, competition, risks of growth in a small and
developing business, and other risks detailed in the company's reports
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
