For the thirty-nine-week period ended September 30, 2023, net sales decreased by $1,614,000, or 17%, to $7,724,000, compared to net sales of $9,338,000 for the thirty-nine weeks ended October 1, 2022.
Our gross profit increased to $786,000 for the thirteen weeks ended September 30, 2023 from $427,000 for the thirteen weeks ended October 1, 2022. Our gross profit percentage was 31% for the thirteen weeks ending September 30, 2023, compared to 15% for the thirteen weeks ending October 1, 2022. Our gross profit increased to $2,059,000 for the thirty-nine weeks ended September 30, 2023 from $1,812,000 for the thirty-nine weeks ended October 1, 2022.
We had net income of $110,000, or $0.02 per share (basic and diluted) for the thirteen-weeks ended September 30, 2023 and a net loss of $310,000 or $0.06 per share (basic and diluted), for the thirty-nine weeks ended September 30, 2023, compared to net losses of $192,000, or $0.04 (basic and diluted) per share, and $195,000 or $0.04 basic and diluted per share for the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended October 1, 2022, respectively.

The decrease in cash during the thirty-nine weeks ended September 30, 2023 was primarily due to a decrease in payables.
Mr. Steven Kass, Chief Executive and Financial Officer of the Company stated, “While we are disappointed in our sales performance during the first nine months of 2023, our cash and available capital balances remain strong and we are pleased by our return to profitable operations in the thirteen week period ended September 30, 2023. We believe that we are positioned for improved results,” concluded Mr. Kass.
