***********Seasonality and Quarterly Results*****************

Our glove business generally shows an increase in sales during the ""third and fourth quarters"" due primarily to an increase in the sale of our winter glove line during this period. We typically generate 55% - 65% of our glove net sales during these months. The first and second quarters of the year are generally considered our slower season. Even though the overall economy continues to experience a significant slow-down, which also affects us, ****""this was mitigated by the successful introduction of a new product designed specifically for the oil and gas industries plus an additional promotional order from one of our home center customers. Good Specking!!
