This increase was due primarily to higher product prices exacerbated by inflation and global supply issues in the rubber industry. We expect the global supply issuesto continue through 2022.

This increase was due primarily to higher sales, price increases attributed to the worldwide o-ring inventory shortage, higher freight costs and inflation. We expect these trends to continue through 2022.

This decrease can be explained by net cash used in operating activities of $224,312 primarily attributed to net income of $36,648, an increase in inventory of $361,071, and accounts receivable of $502,480, offset by an increase in accounts payable of $581,295. This was coupled with net cash used in financing activities of $172,258 which was primarily due to a paydown on related party notes payable of $513,976, offset by a drawdown of $300,000 on the Company’s line of credit. On March 31, 2022, our working capital was approximately $3,188,988.
The cash flow from operating activities decreased from net cash used of $196,996 for the quarter ended March 31, 2021 to net cash used of $224,312 for the quarter ended March 31, 2022. This decrease of $27,316 is primarily attributed to reduced net income coupled with an increases accounts receivable and inventory related to rising prices and larger batch inventory purchases due to the global supply issues, offset by a corresponding increase in accounts payable.
