"Tough times for retailers filter down to suppliers. As a result our sales were down slightly, expenses went up a bit as we increased our creative staff and our advertising commitments to overcome the economic headwinds in the market place. Fortunately, we have a solid financial footing with ample cash flow, available free cash in the corporate treasury and an unused line of credit from our bank. We have no long term debt, no litigation nor outstanding swaps or contingent liabilities on or off our balance sheet. We are in a very good position to take advantage of the rebound in the economy," stated Dunnan Edell, President.
