During the course of the meeting, Mr. Purches, Chairman and CEO, noted that: “For the current fiscal year of 2011, we are forecasting lower net sales than the previous comparable year. If we eliminate our expired license, GUESS, from the prior year we anticipate an increase of approximately 15% to approximately $125 million in net sales in the current year. Keeping our focus on profitability, we have cut back new product launches, and advertising/promotional spending, which was reduced by 35% this current year. We expect to return to profitability this year.”

Mr. Purches added: “It is worth noting that our first six months’ net sales ending September 30, 2010 are expected to be approximately $62 million, compared to approximately $80 million in the comparative prior year. This is significant when one considers that the prior year figures include $28 million of GUESS sales. Paris Hilton and Jessica Simpson products accounted for approximately 80% of our gross revenues for the first six months of the current year. We anticipate this ratio will decrease as we introduce new products later this year and into next year, most notably Rihanna in Spring 2011 and Vince Camuto in Fall 2011. With these new introductions we expect to grow the Company’s revenues, profitability, anticipating net sales of approximately $150 million in fiscal 2012.“
